With the Big Beauty Party drawing to a close, there’s still time to make the most of the offers before they’re gone. Whether you’ve been eyeing a particular product for weeks, looking to replenish your everyday essentials or simply waiting for the right moment to try something new, now is a good time to revisit your wishlist. But with so many beauty favourites to choose from, knowing what’s actually worth adding to your cart can be a little overwhelming. To make things easier, we’ve narrowed it down to 10 standout picks across skincare, makeup, haircare and fragrance that deserve a closer look before the sale wraps up.
If you've been considering investing in a premium hair tool, the Dyson Airstrait deserves a spot on your wishlist. What makes it particularly interesting is that it dries and straightens hair at the same time, using precisely directed airflow instead of conventional heated plates. This means you can go from freshly washed hair to a smooth, straight finish in one step, without exposing your strands to extreme heat. The result is hair that looks naturally sleek, with movement and shine rather than a pin-straight, pressed finish. And if simplifying your morning routine is high on your agenda, this is one investment worth considering while the sale is still on.
There's a difference between skin that feels hydrated and skin that looks noticeably plump and supple, and this Laneige serum is designed to help you achieve both. Its formula combines low-molecular-weight collagen, peony extracts and peptide-infused water to improve the appearance of firmness while delivering a generous dose of hydration. The lightweight texture makes it easy to incorporate into your existing skincare routine, particularly if dullness, dryness or a loss of elasticity are among your concerns. With consistent use, it helps skin appear smoother, bouncier and refreshed, making it a worthwhile addition to your everyday skincare lineup.
A good cream blush can bring an entire makeup look together, and Fenty Beauty's Cheeks Out formula makes a convincing case for keeping one close. Raisin Standardz is a rich, raisin-toned shade that adds warmth and depth to the cheeks, making it especially appealing for autumnal and festive makeup looks. Despite its colour payoff, the formula feels lightweight and non-greasy, blending easily into the skin for a soft, natural-looking flush. You can keep the application sheer for everyday wear or gradually build it up when you want your blush to make more of a statement.
For the friend who treats their perfume collection like a personal archive and never misses an opportunity to tell you about their latest fragrance obsession, there's always room for one more discovery. Enter Carolina Herrera La Bomba, a fruity-floral fragrance that's every bit as striking as its butterfly-shaped bottle. Bringing together exotic papaya, cherry peony and solar vanilla, it creates a vibrant, unexpected composition that's playful, indulgent and impossible to overlook. If they love fragrances that make a statement and spark a conversation, this might just become their next favourite. And you'll have the pleasure of introducing them to it.
Some fragrances are made to blend into your everyday routine, while others deserve an occasion of their own. Carolina Herrera's La Bomba falls firmly into the latter category. This fruity-floral fragrance brings together the tropical sweetness of exotic pitaya, the softness of cherry peony and the warmth of solar vanilla for a scent that's playful yet sophisticated. There's a certain extravagance to it, right down to the butterfly-shaped bottle, which makes it just as lovely to display as it is to wear. If you're looking for a new statement fragrance for the festive season, this one is worth exploring.
Thick hair may have plenty of volume, but keeping it soft, manageable and free from frizz can take a little extra effort. That's where OUAI's deeply nourishing treatment masque comes in. Formulated with shea and illipe butters, a blend of almond, olive and macadamia oils and hydrolysed keratin, it helps replenish moisture, smooth rough ends and improve the appearance of damaged hair. The rich, buttery formula gets to work in just five minutes, leaving strands feeling softer and easier to detangle. Plus, the 100ml travel size is a convenient way to try the formula before committing to a larger tub.
If you already love Cheirosa 62, this is a fun way to wear it. The familiar mix of pistachio, salted caramel and sandalwood comes in a glossy perfume balm that you apply straight onto pulse points with your fingers. It sits closer to the skin than the spray and is easy to reapply whenever you want more. The compact format also makes it particularly good for keeping in your handbag or taking on holiday. Expect the same warm, addictive scent, just in a very handy little pot.
If you're already familiar with Sol de Janeiro's much-loved Cheirosa 62 fragrance, here's a new way to enjoy it. The Jelly Perfume Balm takes the brand's signature blend of pistachio, almond, salted caramel and vanilla and transforms it into a compact, swipe-on fragrance. Its smooth, jelly-like texture glides over pulse points without leaving a sticky residue, making it particularly convenient for touch-ups throughout the day. Wear it on its own for a more intimate fragrance experience or layer it beneath your favourite perfume mist to help the scent last longer. It's a clever little addition to any fragrance collection, especially if you enjoy experimenting with layering.
A statement lip is often all you need to make your makeup feel occasion-ready, and M.A.C's Extra Chili is a particularly striking choice. The warm, orange-red shade brings an instant pop of colour, while the creamy matte formula delivers rich pigmentation in a single swipe. What sets the Locked Kiss range apart is its impressive staying power: it's designed to resist transferring, smudging and fading for up to 24 hours. The formula also contains conditioning passion fruit oil to keep the finish feeling comfortable rather than overly dry. For festive dinners, celebrations or simply days when you'd rather not worry about frequent lipstick touch-ups, this is one to consider.
Your skin clocks in for the night shift with the Collagen Night Wrapping Mask, a rich, leave-on treatment that works while you sleep. It locks in moisture, plumps fine lines and leaves your skin tone with a barely-there dewiness that no filter can replicate. Seal it in before bed, wake up glowing, repeat indefinitely.
Not every night during wedding week needs an elaborate skincare routine. On particularly hectic days, Luthra suggests turning to an overnight treatment that can do the heavy lifting while you sleep. The medicube Collagen Night Wrapping Mask fits the brief, offering an extra dose of TLC when skin needs it. For Luthra, the appeal lies in having “an easy way of giving the skin that rested, replenished look without adding another complicated step to the routine”, especially when celebrations are lined up back-to-back.
There's something particularly appealing about skincare that does its work while you sleep, and Medicube's Collagen Night Wrapping Mask is a good example. This Korean skincare favourite forms a thin, peel-off film over the skin, helping to lock in moisture overnight. Its formula combines collagen with hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, alongside niacinamide and ceramides to support a smoother, more supple-looking complexion. Apply it as the final step of your evening routine, let it dry and gently peel it off the following morning. It's an interesting addition to your nighttime skincare ritual, especially when your skin could use a little extra hydration.
If uneven texture, fine lines or a loss of firmness are among your skincare concerns, this ampoule from SKIN1004 is worth a closer look. It combines 0.2% retinol with retinal, two vitamin A derivatives known for improving the appearance of skin texture and signs of ageing. What makes the formula particularly interesting is its Boosting Shot technology, which uses tiny spicules to enhance ingredient delivery. To balance the active ingredients, it also contains soothing centella asiatica, panthenol and squalane to help support the skin barrier. Given the combination of retinoids and spicules, introduce it gradually into your evening routine, particularly if you're new to retinol, and remember to use sunscreen during the day.
For days when you want your complexion to look polished without the feeling of heavy makeup, KIKO Milano's Skin Lover Intensive Serum Foundation makes a compelling choice. It brings together the hydrating qualities of a serum with the coverage of a foundation, creating a soft, radiant finish that still looks like skin. Infused with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide and rosewater, the formula helps maintain hydration while providing buildable medium coverage to even out the appearance of your complexion. It's also designed to blend easily, so you can adjust the coverage depending on the occasion. The shade 5WO Warm Olive is intended for warm olive undertones, making it worth considering if that's a match for your skin tone.
