The Buyers' Top Picks This Week

Best New Beauty Launches December 2024 | Space NK
It’s official: the most wonderful time of the year is here, which means no rest at Space NK HQ. From brand launches – May Lindstrom, Whind, Creed, Fiona Franchimon, Sana Jardin and Glossier – to gorgeous gift sets on everyone’s radar and store openings, it’s fair to say our busy beauty buyers have had their work cut out for them.

We managed to catch up with some of them to get the lowdown on a selection of their new-in favourites, wishlist worthy sets and staples for the festive season. Our Skincare Buyer Rebecca Herritty has some trusty recommendations and a striking candle quartet on her wishlist, our Makeup Buyer Samantha Timson is sharing the spotlight on the ultimate makeup hero for festive season and an exciting Rare Beauty launch, and our Head of Seasonal Sophie Wayman and Seasonal Buyers Georgie Milner and Abigail Gwyther have their eyes (and noses) on fragrance, haircare and tanning treats.

Best Beauty Products For December 2024

01

Bamford

Roasted Chestnut and Cashmere Candle, £40.00

“This candle does what it says and fills the room with the aroma of warm, creamy chestnuts. It also has a lovely pepperiness to it which when combined with spicy amber adds to the festive feels. Exclusive to Space NK, the packaging is just as gorgeous as the scent which is why it makes the perfect gift (read: self-gift).” – Georgie

Maison Margiela

By the Fireplace Gift Set, £85.00

“If you know someone who loves Maison Margiela then you can't go wrong gifting this trio of scents in the seasonal 'By The Fireplace' fragrance. Containing a 30ml, 10ml and 7ml version, I'd keep one on my dressing table, one in my gym kit and one in my handbag. Name me a recipient that wouldn't be over the moon receiving this on Christmas Day!” – Sophie

Hourglass

Scattered Light Glitter Eyeshadow, £29.00

“This isn't new but whenever I have a night out or special occasion, this cream eyeshadow is my go-to. Just enough sparkle and shimmer to look 'party' but not OTT, I also love the fact I can apply it with my fingers in a rush. I've often been found at my desk quickly applying it before I head out for the evening. If you haven't tried them, I can't recommend them enough. The intense colour pay off lasts all evening too.” – Sam

Amika

Blowout Babe Thermal Hairbrush, £95.00

"I was a bit dubious about this as I'm a hairdryer and straighteners girl but it's had so much hype on social media, I had to try it. And I'm impressed. It adds just the right amount of bounce to my style and it leaves it super smooth and without any frizz. I doubt there will be a day over the festivities that I don't reach for it!" – Lauren

Dr. Jart+

Ceramidin™ Facial Barrier Mask, £8.50

“This sheet mask quite literally drenches your skin in moisture so you can feel an instant difference. I like keeping one in the fridge and then applying it while I'm sitting on the sofa decompressing after work - or at the moment, after post-work socialising! It makes my complexion look brighter and mops up any dry patches so my skin stays and looks smooth too. If you can't squeeze in a facial before Christmas, this is the solution." – Rebecca

Space NK

Nordic Wilds Body Lotion, £8.00

“I go through body lotion pretty quick because I apply it after every time I shower, so I'm delighted that we've now launched our Space NK body lotions in a jumbo 500ml size. I'm a fan of all the scents but right now it's Nordic Wilds that I'm slathering myself in as it smells of a winter wonderland. It's so fast absorbing I can get dressed straight away without having to wait for it to sink in too.” – Georgie
