We're officially in the final days of the year. Laptops close, automatic replies are turned on - all that lies ahead is a slow summer and plenty of time with loved ones. December also presents a much needed opportunity for R&R (the end of year party season hits different). Think bathing rituals, masks, uplifting scents, sun protection and easy makeup that makes those beach turned lunch turned dinner plans a breeze.
Whether you're looking to reset, buy yourself a late holiday gift to self or update your vanity for the new year, here are our RUSSH beauty favourites for December 2025. Enjoy what's left of your 2025.
Prada Beauty Hand Cream
This is the perfect hand cream: cute packaging, a beautiful smell and a lightweight but supremely nourishing formula.
Onitsuka Tiger One
If you're looking for a fragrance that's woody and meditative but still subtle, the latest from Onitsuka Tiger is perfect. There's notes of mint, lemon, jasmine and heady patchouli.
The Onitsuka Tiger fragrance collection is available worldwide, but exclusively in Australia at the George Street boutique, Sydney.
Emma Lewisham Sunceutical SPF 50+ Mineral Face Cream
This is not new per se, but the hero of any summer beauty routine: an ultra glowy SPF with added skincare benefits. It's all you need, really.
Tom Ford Oud Voyager
A perfume that's perfect for party season, Oud Voyager is bursting with rare red peony, oud and geranium.
Le Labo Santal 33 Liquid Balm
If you're a Santal fan but prefer the idea of an alcohol free oil, it will come as welcome news that Le Labo have done just that. With all the woody, smoky charm of the original, it wears beautifully on the skin (perfect for a balmy summer).
Trudon Libra Festive Candle
Inspired by the night sky and liquid gold, this festive candle is warm, spicy and elegant.
Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Liner
VB knew what she was doing with this one – it's precise but creamy and surprisingly long wearing for a lip liner.
