Glossier

It’s safe to say a Glossier candle has been in the works now for some time. In fact, way back in 2017, the brand’s editorial big sister Into The Gloss shared a call-out for its legions of readers and fans to describe exactly how they’d imagine the candle to smell, to which said fans responded in their hoards.

“It should smell like hygge. And I would also like to preorder fifty,” wrote one, while another added: “I'd love for the candle to remind me of waking up to sea breeze in a beach house in the middle of September. Slightly chilly, but also summery and still totally refreshing.”

Somewhat surprisingly, the candle was never again referenced at Into The Gloss HQ, leading to some shoppers even starting a Reddit feed dedicated to finding out what happened.

Well this week, after four plus long years of waiting, the answer came as the very first Glossier candle finally arrived — just in time for Christmas, too.

The Orange Blossom Neroli Candle is here as part of a limited edition festive kit, meaning those who’d like to get their hands on it should act swiftly. The brand has described the candle as having “fresh notes of Neroli, Pear and Cypress,” and being packaged in “an elegant glass vessel (the kind that lends itself to infinite holding uses when you’re done burning: flowers, hair ties, toothbrushes, pens, and yes, makeup!)” Sold.

In addition to Glossier’s very exciting new launch, there are also some other brilliant new beauty buys out this week, from the likes of Liha Beauty, Revolution, and Bleach London. Keep reading to find out more about each one.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Bustle's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

The Glossier candle comes as part of a gift set for Christmas. As well as the festive home fragrance, the kit also includes Bath Pods making this is the perfect duo for spending a cosy evening in this winter.

Mini Reincarnation Mask

Bleach London has launched a mini version of its bestselling Reincarnation Mask, which is intended to give dry, damaged, dull locks an extra hit of hydration. It’s designed to be used on any hair type, but those with coloured or bleached lengths may benefit most, as this is Bleach London’s real area of expertise. The small, portable size makes it great for on-the-go use.

Aromatica Orange Cleansing Sherbet

New retailer Tonic15 is bringing a curated edit of the very best in Korean beauty to the UK. Founder Jin Kwon and her team take the time to carefully handpick top tier products, including items from brands like Thank You Farmer and Dear Klairs. This super nourishing cleansing balm is a beautiful option to remove makeup.

Augustinus Bader The Leave-In Treatment With TFC8

Luxury skincare brand Augustinus Bader is beloved by industry experts including Bobbi Brown and Patrick Ta. So it perhaps makes sense that the brand has expanded its range to now include haircare, with boujee buys to cleanse, condition, and treat locks. The products all use the brand’s patented TFC8 Complex, which promises to stimulate the body’s natural renewal processes to boost skin and now hair. If you can only buy one thing? Opt for the leave-in treatment. As you’ll only need to use it a few times a week it should last you a good while, giving you more for your money.

NEOM Wellbeing Pod Luxe Diffuser

Looking for the ultimate wellbeing treat to pop at the top of your Christmas list? The new luxury diffuser by Neom would be a great shout. Not only does it look chic, it’s designed to deliver a constant fragrance mist of your choice to your home or office, and works well in bigger spaces too meaning no corner will be left un-scented.

Revolution X Corpse Bride The Newly Weds Shadow Palette

The Revolution x Corpse Bride collab is a must-have for anybody who can’t quite let Halloween go just yet. And even if you’re not the biggest Halloween fan, it’s still a great buy for those who love to experiment with eye makeup and will serve you well come New Year’s Eve. It features a lovely range of blues to stand out for all the right reasons, and the packaging definitely makes it a collector’s item.

This lovely set is perfect for a loved one at Christmas, and would surely be well received by anyone who loves a good pamper. It features the brand’s iconic Idan oil, as well as its Asé Goddess Rollerballs, all packaged in a chic cork vanity bag.
