JANUARY 2025 BEAUTY FAVORITES
Happy 2025! I can’t believe we’re already in the second month of the year. While January may have felt like a neverending month, there were at least some great beauty products to keep me going. Let’s take a look at my January beauty favorites!
Monthly Favorites
cocokind peptide fine line eye gel
Cocokind is such a great brand. I like every product I try from them, and this eye gel was no exception! As the name suggests, it has a lightweight gel consistency, but it doesn’t just disappear into the under eyes like other gel formulas. It leaves the undereye area feeling plump and hydrated. And because it’s so lightweight, it works really well under makeup.
It’s formulated with a peptide complex to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains ceramides, squalane, and glycerin to help hydrate and strengthen the skin barrier. You can get this eye gel exclusively here at Ulta.
naturium multi-peptide rich cream
Naturium is one of my favorite skincare brands, so I couldn’t wait to try this face cream when it launched. And I’m so glad I did because I’m obsessed with it! It has the most unique texture, where it first starts out feeling like a thicker balm, but then once you start rubbing it into the skin, it melts in and starts to feel almost like an essence. I’ve never used a moisturizer that feels like this; it’s so nice to apply on the skin. After it’s been rubbed in, it leaves a rich cream finish to lock in moisture overnight.
This face cream is formulated with a peptide complex and ferulic acid to target fine lines and wrinkles. It also contains linseed extract to help provide plumpness and moisture to the skin. Try out this moisturizer here on the Naturium website or here at Target.
Naturium Bio-Lipid Restoring Body lotion
This is not a new product for me; I’ve gone through many bottles of this lotion over the last few years. But this body lotion has been a real lifesaver this past month, keeping my skin deeply hydrated against the dry winter climate. I love how rich this lotion is while still effortlessly absorbing into the skin. It’s formulated with omega fatty acids, shea butter, B vitamins, and sodium PCA to deeply hydrate the skin and leave it feeling softer and more supple looking.
Grab your own here from Naturium or here at Target.
ravie beauty endless diffusion baked blush
Yes, the Ravie blushes were among my November favorites, but I seriously can’t stop using them! The shade Paradise has been my go-to this past month. It’s a toasted pink shade that gives you a natural sun-kissed glow, making it perfect for everyday wear. The formula is really easy to apply and looks so beautiful on the skin.
This blush has truly been one of my January beauty favorites. I really hope they come out with more shades! You can try these blushes here on the Ravie Beauty website.
beautyblender bounce skin tint
Winter has been hitting pretty hard, and my skin is certainly feeling it! This skin tint from BeautyBlender has been really great to give me long-lasting coverage while also providing some hydration. It performs just like a foundation with medium buildable coverage but gives a natural, skin-like finish.
Sephora has had this skin tint on sale for 50% off, but unfortunately, most of the shades are sold out. I’ve seen rumors that they may be reformulating this product, so they were probably trying to sell all the remaining inventory before then. However, you can still buy all the shades here directly on the BeautyBlender website.
makeup by mario surrealskin setting powder
Okay, this is another repeat favorite, but I couldn’t help it. When I thought about my January beauty favorites, this was one of them. I have become obsessed with this powder! My makeup looks airbrushed whenever I use it; I just don’t want to reach for any other!
Try it for yourself and grab one here at Sephora!

Kristin ess weightless shine working serum
My sister-in-law recommended this hair-styling product to me over the holidays. At first, I wasn’t sure if this would work for my fine hair because it is pretty much an oil. However, I’ve found this to not be heavy at all! I can apply this right after I finish blow-drying my hair, and it won’t weigh it down or look oily. It helps to tame frizz and add some shine.
I’ve started using oils in my hair more, but I can usually only use them the night before I wash my hair because they coat my hair too much and make it noticeably oily. I haven’t had that issue with this product. I love that I can get the benefits of a hair oil during the day and that this helps keep my hair tamed after styling.
Kristin Ess hair products can be heavily fragranced, but I find the scent of this hair serum to be lighter. It’s a nice fruity scent, but it goes away soon after application. Buy it here at Ulta or here at Target.
Kerastase Serum Filler
My hair stylist recommended this product to me. I was looking for something that could help reduce frizz but wouldn’t weigh down my fine hair. She recommended this serum to me, and I love it! It’s a multi-functional leave-in serum that you apply to damp hair. It provides heat protection up to 450 degrees. It also helps repel humidity and frizz for smoother hair.
It is a pricier product, but I’ve noticed a difference in my hair since using it. Try it out for yourself here at Sephora.
This post was all about my January beauty favorites.
