Editors' Picks: New launches from Laneige, Glow Recipe, MAC Cosmetics and more...
From Glow Recipe's holiday gift sets to Laneige's latest skincare range, and more, here are the top beauty launch picks of the week from TheIndustry.beauty team.
Bouncy & Firm range, Laneige
Korean skincare brand Laneige is promising long-lasting moisture without a greasy finish with its latest collection.
Boasting lightweight yet potent formulas that absorb quickly, the new Bouncy & Firm range is powered by cutting-edge Water Science technology to deeply nourish while enhancing elasticity, leaving skin looking plump, smooth, and glowing.
Key ingredients include hydrolysed collagen and peptides - known for their firming and anti-ageing properties - which work to lift and tighten skin, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while boosting skin’s natural resilience.
Products in the range include an Eye Sleeping Mask (£28), Lip Treatment (£23), and Sleeping Mask (£32) - a great line-up of products for any fellow Laneige lovers like me!

Gift of Gold Collection, MAC Cosmetics
Christmas collections and gift sets galore are hitting the shelves earlier than ever (not that I'm complaining). As soon as summer's over, I'm ready for a hot choccy, streets decked in Christmas lights, and a shopping bag full of seasonal beauty products.
When it comes to festive beauty collections, for me, the more glitz the better and MAC's Gift of Gold didn't disappoint. Not only is MAC's iconic black and silver packaging swapped out for a metallic gold finish with art deco motifs, but each product is infused with a heavy dose of shimmer evocative of the parties we're planning to attend whilst wearing them.
Although I needed a limited-edition lippy for my collection, standout formulas include a Chromacrayon Eyeshadow Stick (£26) - a cream-to-powder metallic eyeshadow that promises not to budge while you're dancing the night away - and a Macstack Mascara (£27) - perfect for the clump-loving lash girls who can't always be bothered to glue on a falsie come party time (a bit like myself).

2024 Holiday Icons, Glow Recipe
As the festive season approaches, it's only natural to spotlight a gift set or two - and it appears Chloe thinks the same with her two picks. I, however, have selected Glow Recipe, which has introduced three new 'Holiday Icons' that I'm sure will make an appearance on many wish lists.
First up is Serum Superstars (£41), which brings together the brand's popular Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops, Plum Plump Hyaluronic Serum, Strawberry Smooth BHA+AHA Salicylic Serum and Cloudberry Bright Essence Toner in the ultimate serum bundle.
Meanwhile, Dewy Skin Dazzlers (£29) features the brand's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dew Drops, Watermelon Glow Pink Juice Moisturizer and Watermelon Glow PHA+BHA Pore-Tight Toner for radiant, hydrated skin.
Lastly, there's Watermelon Icons (£58), which boasts three products from Glow Recipe's bestselling Watermelon Glow range, including its Niacinamide Dew Drops, Niacinamide Hue Drops and Ultra-Fine Mist.

Crystal Nail File Gift Set, Leighton Denny
Now I know what you’re thinking: 'Why on earth do I need a crystal nail file?'. But Leighton Denny knows how to make bougie on a budget nail tools.
Created two decades ago, the crystal nail file has since won over 16 industry awards and for good reason. The unique, smooth surface seals the edge of the nails to help prevent splitting and peeling at the tips. Unlike traditional nail files, which tend you make you cringe with every squeak, you can use Leighton Denny’s in a back-and-forth motion without damaging the nail.
Now, the award-winning file is available in a new trio of sizes. The Crystal Nail File Gift Set (£30) includes a large (195mm), small (135mm) and travel (90mm) nail file, plus an eco-friendly Tyvek case. There's more... each has a double-sided surface and comes with a 25-year guarantee.
