LBB Crew's Favourite Beauty Empties From The Month Of December 2025

Winter skin gets really dry and flaky, and the LANEIGE's cream moisturiser is one of those products that genuinely fixes it. It deeply hydrates, strengthens the skin barrier, and leaves your face feeling comfortable (not greasy) all day. The formula feels rich yet lightweight, making it perfect for cold weather. Bonus points for the newer refill options, which make restocking way more sustainable.

The Love Earth Liquid Mousse Lipsticks are liquid, but without that dry, chapped-lips aftermath we all dread, thanks to the soft mousse texture. It feels comfortable on the lips while still giving a smooth, velvety finish. The shade range includes some real staple colours, and you can even pick up mini bundles to choose your go-to hues. Moreover, they’re affordable without cutting corners on quality, and are super safe to use!

I’ve been using Beauty of Joseon’s Eye Serum for a bit now, and it’s honestly become one of my safer, no-stress skincare picks. I’m very particular about what I put around my eyes, so the ginseng for moisture and anti-ageing, paired with retinal to soften fine lines, really sold me. It feels gentle, sinks in well, and doesn’t give that heavy, chemical-loaded feeling at all.

The viral Instagram mask found its way to my vanity last month, and it's safe to say I'm obsessed after just using it twice. Designed for deep hydration, firming and skin glow, you can either use it as an overnight mask or put it on and watch a movie or do your chores, the result would be the same: flawless, glowing & hydrated skin. It's made of oligo-hyaluronic acid (for super hydration), ultra-low molecular weight (234 Dalton) hydrolysed collagen (for skin elasticity) and probiotics (for strengthening skin barrier).

If you've enlarged or open pores, you'll love this one. My skin is really oily, and naturally, that means I have enlarged pores. After trying tons of "pore-minimising" toners and serums, I have realised it's one of the best toners out there and not just for my pores. Infused with 3% Niacinamide, it helps improve overall skin texture and helps fade blemishes and uneven skin tone. The rice ferment extracts help to give your skin a smooth texture and natural glow, while the oat extract helps with inflammation.

Haircare is one of my most holy routines, which I follow to the T because god knows if I miss one day, my hair will punish me for it. And in this crazy and strict hair care routine, one thing has remained constant for months now: Inde Wild Champi Hair Oil. Before you think it's just hype, let me break down the chemistry for you. It's enriched with Bhringraj, Brahmi, Amla, Castor Oil, and so much more of our dadi-nani ke nuskhe that it literally screams, "I'm failproof." All-natural ingredients help not only to grow hair faster but also to revive dull hair.

Not a product empty per se, but a beauty product I will restock without fail! These cushion puffs from Feel Good Club are tiny, perfect for tossing in your micro mini bag for on-the-go touch-ups. The cushion sponge is a saviour for powdering the face when things get sweaty. The finger strap makes it super convenient to hold and use for all that tapping and dabbing, and the pair costs less than 100 bucks on sale.

I got my hands on the e.l.f. Cosmetics Glow Reviver Lip Oil in the shade Coral Fixation not so long ago and easy to say, it has become one 0of my go-to lip products. This shade in particular is quite sheer, which I like since I mostly layer lip oils and balms over lip liners. The formula is thick and coats your lips well for an all out shine. But mind you, it has that faint mint-y scent you find in most plumping lippies.

This concealer has been my ride or die since high school days (23-year-old, this side) and I refuse to believe there exists a better matte concealer. For a person with extremely oily skin like mine, it does the job flawlessly — medium to high coverage, doesn't disturb the foundation below, minimum oxidisation and doesn't move around much once set with a light layer of powder. Additionally, the shade range is great!

As someone who never understood the hype behind thermal water sprays, I am happy to report — they do do something! I used this one on my retinol-irritated skin, which would burn even when I was applying the gentlest moisturiser I owned. The thermal water helped soothe the skin and kept it hydrated when I was unable to moisturise (yes, the horrors).
