What We Love This Week: 17th January 2025
Our editor will share a curated selection of favourite discoveries and beloved finds each week. Expect familiar picks and exciting new treasures to inspire and delight.
For our picks this week, we tell you about the LED face mask that has transformed our editor’s skin and the most efficient hyaluronic acid serum on the market (currently on sale!). Silver is trending this year, and By Pariah has the perfect pair of sterling silver earrings on our wishlist. We are obsessed with every bag from Dragon Diffusion, especially the Nantucket tote which feels like it was made with mums in mind. Millie Mackintosh’s new book “Bad Drunk” is out this week, in which she honestly talks about her struggles with drinking in motherhood and her sober journey now. We love a good statement coat, and Aligne’s coveted Barnaby reversible trench coat is back with a new colour. And lastly, our search for the best mascara is over because Lisa Eldridge Beauty kitten lash mascara ticks all the boxes.

Sensse Beauty Pro LED Face Mask, £120 from £140
I was a bit late on the LED face mask bandwagon, but boy did this make up for it! Sensse Beauty Pro LED Face Mask is one of the highest-rated and most affordable LED masks in the UK. I have been using it for 2 years now, and after every use, I see such a huge difference in my skin to the point it’s become a staple in my beauty routine. With four different LED lights (red, blue, amber and purple), it targets so many different issues, making it perfect for every skin type! I especially love the amber light setting, which reduces inflammation, redness and improves sun damage. I could talk about this mask for days! Shop it here.
By Pariah The Jug Hoops in Sterling Silver, £250
Silver is meant to be one of the biggest jewellery trends of 2025, and By Pariah makes some of the most gorgeous and classic pieces to have and cherish forever. These Jug hoop earrings are made entirely of sterling silver, and have a nice statement look that goes perfectly with a casual outfit or dressed up. The perfect every day earrings. Shop them here.
Dr. Barbara Sturm Hyaluronic Serum, £60 from £85
Dr. Barbara Sturm’s clientele includes Hailey Bieber, Kim Kardashian West, and Gwyneth Paltrow, all of whom rave about her transformative treatments. One of the skincare expert’s go-to products, this potent serum is packed with Hyaluronic molecules that penetrate deeply to deliver intense hydration. It also helps protect the skin from the harmful effects of environmental stressors, while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It really does wonders for the skin! And it’s currently 30% off! Shop it here.
Dragon Diffusion Nantucket Big Leather Tote, £370
If you only had to buy one new bag this season, then make it a Dragon Diffusion bag. Loved by Ashley Olsen (that tells you everything right there), these handmade bags are just the perfect everyday bag. My favourite model is the Nantucket, and while it comes in other colours, the dark brown is my current pick. The shape and size make it perfect for everyday motherhood adventures. Shop it here.
Lisa Eldridge Beauty Kitten Lash Mascara, £29
I am never not on the lookout for the next best mascara, and I think I may have found the one to stop my search! Lisa Eldridge’s beauty line has great reviews, and unsurprisingly, because she knows a thing or five about make-up! Her mascara is just beyond! It lengths lashes and adds volume without clumping. It also separates lashes, unlike any other mascara I have tried. Shop it here.
Bad Drunk, Book by Millie Mackintosh, £16
Millie Mackintosh shares her personal journey of binge drinking through her 20s to becoming a teetotal mother of two in her new book, Bad Drunk. She honestly recounts her worst drinking moments and explains how her drinking got worse after becoming a mother, her lowest point and how it has affected her relationships. I am so excited to read her book! Shop it here.
Aligne Barnaby Reversible Trench Coat, £189
Aligne has been on fire this season, with some amazing outerwear. The Barnaby Trench coat is my favourite, and it now comes in navy and off-white! It’s so handy that it’s reversible, and it goes with really anything. Can’t go wrong with this coat! Shop it here.
