We are officially entering the most fun, chaotic and wholesome time of the year with festivities in full swing. This is also the time when you try new beauty stuff and decide what's staying because nobody wants to waste their time on products that fetch no gains, 'cause the stakes are too high for that festive glow. We asked the crew (again) what all they tried and loved in the past month, i.e. September 2025, and if you are looking for tried-and-tested recos— read on!

LANEIGE Lip Glowy Balm - Mango


I’m officially a new fan of LANEIGE, and the brand has exceeded every expectation! The Mango Lip Glowy Balm has quickly become a must-have in my bag. It makes my lips ridiculously smooth, like butter, just as they promise, and keeps them hydrated and nourished for hours. I also love layering it over lipstick for that perfect glossy finish.

LANEIGE Water Bank Blue Hyaluronic Cream Moisturiser


As a true moisturiser enthusiast, Laneige’s Water Bank Cream easily makes my top three. I’m using the cream-based version, perfect for normal-to-dry skin. Packed with 2X ceramide and probiotics, it’s basically a 10/10 skin barrier in a jar (which, by the way, can be refilled). Plus, it delivers long-lasting hydration, keeping my skin glowy, firm, and nourished for hours!

COSRX Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser


I swear by this CosRx daily cleanser so much that I will be buying it for the fourth or fifth time this time. It's perfect for my oily and sensitive skin as it helps control excess sebum and gently exfoliates the skin. Since it's meant to be used daily, it's not as harsh as other cleansers that have Salicylic Acid, and that's what I love the most about it. While 850 INR for a face wash may seem a little steep, it's worth it and will last you for more than a month, making it a good skincare investment.

Even on days when you don't feel your best, a good lipstick makes all the difference, and that's why I am absolutely in love with this Clinique Black Honey lipstick. It's worth the hype and has a unique not lipstick/not gloss formula that's super moisturising. Plus, it can be worn as a standalone or over a similar shade based on the look you're trying to achieve.

Neude Skin Smmmoothie Spray Body Lotion


I bought the Neude Skin Smmmoothie Spray Body Lotion on a whim and my oh my, I am hooked! It's a spray lotion that has a milk-like watery texture. The formula absorbs into the skin with minimal massaging, and has goodies like hyaluronic acid and ceramides for hydration, coupled with niacinamide, salicylic and lactic acid from yoghurt to help with tanning and texture improvement.

Insight Cosmetics Nail Polish Remover Wipes


I am a devoted gel nails girl (guilty as charged), and turmeric stains post-eating food ick the hell out of me. So, the Insight Cosmetics Nail Polish Remover Wipes came to my rescue. These nail polish remover pads do an excellent job of getting rid of the stains in a jiffy. And the compact packaging makes it easy to toss in the bag and carry with me whenever needed. Also, they don't have that migraine-inducing acetone scent, which is another plus.

Wella Professionals Ultime Repair Hair Treatment


If you're someone who uses heat on their hair at least once a week, then this miracle hair treatment needs to be on your vanity shelf. The Wella Professionals Ultime Repair Miracle Hair Rescue serum is perfect to apply before styling your hair. All you have to do is apply 10-15 pumps on towel-dried hair, let it soak in for 90 seconds and then proceed to style your hair. It's packed with ingredients like omega-9 and AHA that leave the hair feeling soft and looking silky smooth! It is on the pricier side, however, a little goes a long, long way.

Inde Wild Dewy Lip Balm Treatment


Lip balms are my weakness, and one I can't stop obsessing over is the OG Inde Wild Dewy Lip Balm Treatment. It has a vegan formula that biomimics the benefits of desi ghee (grandmoms' favourite beauty nuska) and combines conditioning ingredients like linoleic acid, hyaluronic acid, peptides, shea butter, squalane and Vitamin E to give you soft and deeply hydrated lips.
