The 2024 Luxury Review Box
Beverly Hills MD Deep Wrinkle Filler ($125)
This best-selling wrinkle fix has hundreds of five-star reviews, and is a must for anyone hoping to blur the appearance of expression lines, crow’s-feet, marionette lines, or other textural imperfections in seconds. Utilizing a unique blend of skin-like polymers and light-reflecting diamond dust, the formula not only provides a quick-fix solution, but also helps improve skin over time.
PROMO CODE: Use code BEAUTY20 for 20 percent off your entire purchase on BeverlyHillsMD.com until 12/31/24. The code must be used to receive the discount.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply a small amount directly to your deep wrinkles or fine lines. Pat lightly with your fingertip or included applicator until blended. Allow it to dry for at least one minute before applying makeup.
Bloom Nutrition Greens & Superfoods Greatest Hits Variety Pack ($30 for 18 sticks)
Made with more than 30 greens and superfoods, these easy-to-use powder sticks help de-bloat, ease digestion and boost energy. Key ingredients include wellness superstars barely grass and spirulina, as well as prebiotics and probiotics for optimal gut health. They’re easy to toss in a water bottle on the go, and we love this mix of flavors: Strawberry Kiwi, Mango and Berry.
HOW TO USE THEM
Mix one packet into the drink or smoothie of your choice and blend well.
BondiBoost Miracle Hair Mask ($28)
This best-selling, silicone-free mask from Aussie brand BondiBoost is a deep-conditioning treatment for dry and/or damaged hair. The blend of natural oils, including argan and jojoba, nourish hair that’s in need of a little extra TLC to leave it softer, smoother and stronger. It’s clinically proven to improve split ends by 84 percent after just four uses, and you only need to use it once a week.
HOW TO USE IT
Remove excess water from your hair after washing. Massage a small amount of the mask from mid-shaft to ends. Leave in for 15 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Use once a week in place of conditioner.
CALECIM Professional Serum ($100)
Though the bottle is tiny, this formula packs a serious punch. Chock-full of more than 3,000 proteins, including growth factors and exosomes, it’s ideal for use after an in-office aesthetic procedure like microdermabrasion or microneedling, which we know many of you like to do in the fall and winter. However, you don’t have to get a procedure to reap the benefits. It’s also great for overall skin health and targeting fine lines and hyperpigmentation.
HOW TO USE IT
To use it as part of your anti-aging skin-care regimen, apply one pipette to your entire face before other creams and treatments. Or, use it after an in-office treatment like microneedling, dermabrasion or a chemical peel. Apply it as needed post-procedure to optimize your results and recovery.
Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand in Dream Pop ($42)
Red blush is one of the biggest makeup trends of the year, with thousands of TikTok videos showing off ways to get the look. This matte, liquid blush is a mix of red and pink, so it’s a great way to ease into the trend if you don’t think you can pull of pure red. Inspired by Tilbury’s best-selling beauty light wands, it features the same signature cushion applicator so you can dot on the perfect amount for whatever look you’re going for.
HOW TO USE IT
Twist to open and close the applicator. Apply one dot for a natural flush, or two to three dots for a bolder look. Blend it using a brush, and remember, it dries and sets quickly.
EltaMD Skin Recovery Amino Acid Foaming Cleanser ($35)
You probably know EltaMD for its cult-classic sunscreen, but this derm-loved cleanser is worth knowing too. It’s fragrance-free, gentle enough for sensitive skin and clinically proven to significantly strengthen the skin barrier and reduce skin water loss after just seven days of use. Some foaming formulas can be drying, but this one is actually calming and soothing. In fact, it even helps reduce the look of redness.
HOW TO USE IT
In the morning and evening, massage one or two pumps onto damp skin. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and then pat dry. Follow with your skin-care routine, and always remember SPF in the morning.
Erno Laszlo Soothing Relief Hydration Emulsion ($120)
Designed for sensitive skin but great for all skin types, this luxe, lightweight moisturizer is one you’ll want to reach for every day. Beta glucan supports the skin barrier and squalane delivers moisture. And, if you do have sensitive skin, the brand’s SensCalm³ complex relieves signs of dryness and discomfort, leaving it soft and soothed.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply it morning and night after applying essences, toners and/or serums.
Farmacy Honey Glow 7% AHA + BHA Resurfacing Acid Serum ($60)
Wake up to glowing skin with this overnight exfoliating serum that we all love. The brand’s signature buckwheat honey is mixed with a potent blend of glycolic acid, lactic acid and salicylic acid to smooth skin texture, reduce the look of pores and give skin a major radiance boost.
PROMO CODE: Use code NEWBEAUTY20 to receive 20 percent off full-size products at Farmacy.com. This promotion excludes value kits, limited-edition products and gift cards. Offer ends Jan 31, 2025 at 11:59 p.m.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply a layer of serum (one or two pumps) on clean skin at night, avoiding your eyes and lips. Use it two to four times a week, building up to more frequent use if you need it. You may feel a slight tingling as your skin acclimates, which is common with glycolic acid formulas.
Grande Cosmetics GrandeLASH-MD Lash Enhancing Serum ($68)
A cult-classic lash serum from the number-one lash and brow serum brand in the U.S. (based on 2023 data), this formula makes lashes look longer, thicker and healthier in four to six weeks. It’s also ophthalmologist-tested for safety. In a 12-week consumer study, 91 percent of people saw longer-looking lashes. Take a look at the before-and-after images if you don’t believe it!
HOW TO USE IT
As with all cosmetic products used in the area of the eye (or close proximity to the eye), it is important to carefully read all directions and warnings. Carefully apply GrandeLASH-MD once daily on a clean, dry upper lash line only using a single stroke on your eyelid just above your upper lash line (like a liquid eyeliner). Do not apply to the lower lash line. Apply only with the product applicator provided.
Use one dip into the bottle for both upper lash lines and allow two to three minutes for the serum to fully dry before lying down or applying other products to your eye area. If serum gets into the eye, immediately rinse thoroughly with cool water to completely remove serum from the eye. Apply every day for a full three months. After desired improvement is achieved, apply every other day for maintenance. GrandeLASH-MD requires continued use to maintain benefits.
Karuna Collagen Hydrogel Face Masks ($20 for two)
Sheet masks have had a big resurgence as of late, and we love this one for so many reasons. First, it’s two pieces, which is key for achieving a better, more comfortable fit. Second, the advanced gel technology feels cooling on the skin and acts as the perfect delivery system for key ingredients like peptides, hydrolyzed collagen, green tea and centella asiatica. And third, when you take it off, skin feels firm and moisturized.
HOW TO USE THEM
Gently unfold the first half of the mask and place the hydrogel side on your face. Remove the backing and adjust to fit accordingly. Repeat for the second piece. Relax and enjoy the treatment for 10 to 20 minutes, then throw the mask away. Leave the mask on longer for a more intense treatment.
Nakery Beauty SkinInfusion Serum + Oil ($42)
A treat for aging and/or dry skin, this concentrated formula is half serum, half oil. Powered by six serum actives of vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, peptides, vitamin E, allantoin and glycerin, and 17 botanical oils, the oil penetrates the epidermis and the serum penetrates the dermis. Together, they firm, lift, tone, plump, brighten and hydrate. Use it on your face and body, and even your hair.
HOW TO USE IT
Massage one or two pumps on clean skin morning and evening. It works best when pressed into the skin. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizing.
Natura Ekos Tukumã Exfoliating Shower Gel ($20)
The best-selling skin-care brand in Brazil that’s making waves in the U.S., Natura utilizes natural Amazonian ingredients to rejuvenate skin. This vegan, exfoliating shower gel mixes raw Tukumã oil and natural maracujá seeds to clean and polish the skin while maintaining its natural pH. We love the floral fragrance as well.
NOTE: Your bottle may not look totally full, but rest assured you have the entire 185ml amount inside, which is protected by a safety seal. The brand left additional spacing in the neck of the bottle to allow for expansion and contraction of the formulation due to changing temperatures. This avoids any spillage issues as it is being shipped to you.
PROMO CODE: Use code NEWBEAUTY15 for 15 percent off on Natura.com. Offer applies to one-time purchases and cannot be used on gift cards or combined with other discounts. No minimum purchase required. Offer expires 2/28/25.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply all over your body on wet skin in the shower and work into a lather by massaging in a circular motion. Rinse thoroughly. Do not apply to your face.
Origins Original Skin Retexturizing Mask with Rose Clay ($36)
This best-selling mask is a wonder worker for anyone concerned with oily skin, large pores, dullness and/or rough skin texture. It employs Mediterranean rose clay, sugar cane, exfoliating jojoba beads and Canadian willowherb to get all the gunk out of your pores and give skin a smoother, clearer canvas for makeup and skin care. You also get a nice glow!
HOW TO USE IT
Paris Hilton Fragrances Luxe Rush Eau de Parfum ($75)
Paris Hilton is everywhere right now (we can’t wait for The Simple Life reboot.) This year, the A-lister’s fragrance brand celebrates its 20th anniversary. Since 2004, Paris has released 29 fragrances, and we heard number 30 is coming soon. This patchouli-forward eau de parfum is aptly named to be part of the Luxury Review Box, and exudes the glam that Hilton is known for.
KEY NOTES
Top notes are Sicilian Bergamot and Pink Peony; middle notes are Tyger Lily, Tuberose and Frangipani; base notes are Patchouli, Milk Mousse and Sandalwood.
Perlier Shea Butter + Sweet Almond Body Balm ($31)
As temperatures and humidity levels drop for the fall and winter seasons, our skin gets drier and drier. This rich, silky treatment is formulated with up to 25-percent organic shea butter to intensely hydrate dry skin. The brand’s 100-percent organic shea butter is made using a proprietary and innovative method to extract the shea butter from the nut to maintain purity.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply it to dry skin as needed.
quip Sonic Toothbrush in Pink Metal ($30)
We’re a sucker for a good sonic toothbrush, and when we find a good one that’s also pink, it’s a no-brainer. This one uses timed sonic vibrations and soft bristles to keep your pearly whites on point. Also, it’s battery-operated (AAA), so you don’t have to keep a charger plugged in. Just keep it in its chic case, which mounts to your mirror or tile, or easily throw it in your bag for traveling.
PROMO CODE: Use code NEWBEAUTY20 for 20-percent off your order at getquip.com. Offer expires November 14, 2024.
HOW TO USE IT
The toothbrush has a two-minute built-in timer for a complete routine and 30-second pulses for an even clean. It also has a three-month battery life (AAA battery) when used twice a day. Remember to replace your brush head every three months (the brand sells replacements separately).
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Body & Hair Fragrance Mist ($28)
From Selena Gomez’s wildly popular Rare Beauty comes this super fine fragrance mist, which is made for both skin and hair. Infused with biotin, niacinamide and peach flower extract, it softens and refreshes wherever you spray it. The citrusy scent also has a nice uplifting effect, and the 360-degree bottle sprays at all angles, even upside down.
KEY NOTES
Top: lemon zest, rhubarb, pomelo; Mid: jasmine petals, violet, black tea extract; Dry: vetiver, tonka beans, cashmere wood
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hydrating Under Eye Patches ($25)
If you wake up with puffy under-eyes, these cooling hydrogel patches are an instant pick-me-up with hydrating and smoothing benefits. They aren’t messy and don’t slide down, which is a prerequisite for under-eye patches, and the Rare Beauty logo design makes a nice selfie moment. Each box comes with eight pairs.
HOW TO USE THEM
Peel off the protective film and apply each patch to clean, dry under-eyes. Gently remove after 10 minutes. Tip: Use them before makeup as the ultimate prep step!
Saints & Sinners Superfresh Divine Dry Shampoo ($30)
Whether you’re a busy mom, a gym-goer or someone with oily roots, this dry shampoo is a necessity. It sops up excess oil for a cleaner look and feel while also adding some volume with rice protein. It also smells really good, but it’s not too strong. It’s the ultimate refresh for two- or three-day hair. We’re big fans of everything this brand creates!
HOW TO USE IT
Shake well. Spray anywhere dry shampoo is desired. Concentrate at root area for added volume.
Shinery Jewelry Wash ($28)
One of Oprah’s favorite things, this jewelry wash is a must-have for keeping your rings clean and sparkly. And, you don’t even have to take your rings off to use it! No more worrying about them going down the drain. You essentially just wash your hands, and voila! Plus, the plant-based ingredients are moisturizing and won’t dry out your skin.
HOW TO USE IT
Leave your jewelry on. Wet your hands with warm water. Dispense three to four pumps into the palm of your hand and work it into a soft lather. Massage into your skin, paying specific attention to your jewelry. Rinse thoroughly and then pat dry.
SkinMedica TNS Recovery Complex ($230)
You’ve probably heard of exosomes, but have you tried an exosome formula on your skin? This one from dermatologist-favorite SkinMedica contains more than 1 trillion fibroblast-derived exosomes in every bottle, plus growth factors, to visibly improve fine lines and wrinkles, as well as skin tone and texture.
PROMO CODE: Use code BEAUTY20 to get 20-percent off all products on SkinMedica.com (max. 10 products per order). Can be used more than once. Offer expires December 1, 2024. Cannot be combined with other discount offers including the welcome offer, sitewide discounts, subscription discounts and other promo codes. Can be combined with Gift With Purchase.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply it in the morning and evening after cleansing and toning. If you are using a topical prescription product, consult your doctor first. Apply to your entire face, as well as your neck and chest if desired. Avoid getting it in your eyes.
The Rootist BioBrew Fermented Strengthening Serum ($48)
Scalp care has become an essential part of any healthy-hair regimen, but this leave-in, bi-phase serum spray actually works on both the scalp and lengths of the hair. Designed to strengthen weak, damaged hair, but beneficial for all hair types, the multitasking formula is clinically shown to control frizz, boost shine, protect from heat, and repair damage. It’s basically a magic product that everyone needs in their routine!
HOW TO USE IT
Shake well. Spray on damp, towel-dried hair 2 to 3 inches from scalp to ends. Massage scalp gently and comb through. Do not rinse. Style your hair as usual.
The average application is three pumps to the scalp and three to five pumps to the lengths of your hair, depending on your hair texture, density and length. Use two to three times a week.
Thrive Causemetics Impact-FULL Smoothing Lipstick ($26)
A moisturizing, satin lipstick with major color impact, this formula provides up to eight hours of staying power and won’t settle into lines. Each box will come with a beautiful red shade for the holiday season: either Jessica (a raspberry red) or Maya (a rich red). It’s super creamy and comfy on the lips and also provides a slight plumping benefit.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply by first following your outer lip line, then smooth over the center of the lips.
Timeline Mitopure Softgels ($125)
Longevity is one of the biggest buzzwords of the year, and this vegan supplement supports longevity and wellness at the cellular level. Though there are copycats, this is the original urolithin A supplement. (Timeline scientists discovered the ingredient, which they named Mitopure, more than 50 years ago.) Mitopure is an incredible way to boost cellular energy (it actually boosts your mitochondria), strengthen muscle from the inside out and boost endurance.
HOW TO USE IT
Take two vegan softgels daily for the recommended dose of Urolithin A (500mg of Mitopure).
U Beauty The PLASMA Lip Compound ($68)
This next-level lip treatment is a celeb favorite and gives lips a plumper look and pillowy-soft feel. It also helps visibly reduce the appearance of fine lines with continued use. Each box will contain the universally flattering shade Fawn [pictured], which is very wearable for all occasions. Third-party clinical tests show that after 30 days of consistent daily use, long-lasting results are visible, and each tube should last about six weeks.
HOW TO USE IT
Using the metal applicator, apply a generous swipe on clean, dry lips. You can use it as frequently as you like, but the brand recommends at least two applications a day to help guarantee best results.
VERSO Cleansing Balm ($40)
Super gentle and great for dry and/or sensitive skin, this fragrance-free cleansing balm removes all traces of makeup while also soothing and moisturizing the skin. The vegan formula contains hydrating jojoba esters melt into your skin as you massage it on, providing a subtle exfoliating effect as well. The combination of panthenyl triacetate, naringenin and bisabolol help alleviate the appearance of temporary discomfort and redness on the skin.
HOW TO USE IT
Apply an almond size of the cleansing balm on dry skin with circular light movements on your entire face until the beads melt. Add a small amount of water and massage until it transforms into a milky texture. Rinse off with lukewarm water or use a damp towel. If you have very dry skin, some leftover product on your skin may help your skin retain its natural moisture. Use in the morning and/or evening.
