Welcome to Refinery29 Loves, the monthly news bulletin where you’ll find the best things to shop and see in fashion and beauty right now.
Friends, we’ve made it to the end of another year. Looking back at the last 12 months, there have been some major fashion and beauty moments. Who could forget Zendaya arriving at the Dune 2 London premiere in a vintage Mugler robot suit, or Tyla taking to the Met Gala red carpet in her sand-sculpted gown and matching hourglass handbag? Then there was Beyoncé leading the charge for the Western style revival with Cowboy Carter and, most recently, Alex Consani making history at the 2024 Fashion Awards (while wearing Dilara Findikoglu).
On the beauty front, Pat McGrath took glass skin to a whole new level at the Maison Margiela artisanal show with a porcelain doll-inspired look, Ariana Grande sold the world on pearlized beauty when she accessorized her Loewe gown with 3D crystallized fairy wings on each eye, and Hailey Bieber sent everyone running for deep blushes when she set off yet another makeup trend.
As we prepare to welcome new fashion must-haves and viral makeup looks into our lives in 2025, we’re leaving a little room for one last great 2024 discovery. There’s plenty of newness coming our way this month — see our favorite December drops in the slideshow ahead.
Tibi x L.L.Bean
L.L.Bean’s iconic Boat and Tote just got a high-fashion twist courtesy of Tibi. For the New York-based brand’s spring 2024 runway, the two teamed up to reimagine and elevate the popular bag. Now it’s finally available to shop — but only for a limited time. The Tibi x L.L.Bean Boat and Tote is made from 100 percent cotton and features an easy-to-access key ring and bottom handle so it can also be held as a clutch. The pièce de résistance? The leather belt that tops the style.

Rhode Peppermint Glaze Peptide Lip Treatment
The virality of Hailey Bieber’s lip products cannot be understated. The nourishing balms are at the heart of her brand, Rhode. This month, Bieber is launching a new, festive flavor: peppermint. Infused with a “crushed candy cane” scent, the shimmering Peptide Lip Treatment contains all the ingredients we know and love (hydrating shea butter, fine line-busting peptides) plus a sprinkling of sparkle for added holiday cheer.

Pleasing x JW Anderson
Harry Styles and Harry Lambert’s lifestyle brand, Pleasing, might be best known for its sculptural nail varnishes and dreamy fragrances but it’s ticking designer apparel off the list, too, this month with a collaboration with JW Anderson. The capsule offers everything from a long-sleeved mesh shirt to a cream collared cardigan emblazoned with balloons. If you’re searching for something more serious, there’s a classic JW Anderson bumper bag in a black and forest green colorway — and if it’s the exact opposite you’re after, allow us to direct you to the X-rated diamanté keyrings.

Murad Retexturizing Body Pads
Skincare aficionados will be well acquainted with Murad. The brand has heard the cries of KP (keratosis pilaris) sufferers everywhere and launched a body treatment aimed at soothing inflamed bumps, body breakouts, and even pesky ingrown hairs. Providing mild exfoliation, the pads use a combination of azelaic, salicylic, and glycolic acids to calm aggravated skin and even skin tone with prolonged use. They also treat facial marks, like post-pimple-popping stains and dark spots.

COS x Chris Perani
California macro-photographer Chris Perani grew up surrounded by forests and marshlands, and it has greatly informed his work. Now, he’s bringing his passion to a 24-piece collab with COS, lifting patterns from his images (he uses a microscopic lens to create a shallow depth of field and capture hundreds of hyper-focused exposures) and reimagining them on winter silhouettes. The scales of a butterfly wing, for example, can be seen beaded on a shirt or printed on a denim skirt.

L’Oréal Paris Paradise Le Shadow Stick Eyeshadow
There’s only one thing on any beauty enthusiast’s mood board come the holidays: glitter. Sprinkling a bit of sparkle across the lids is a surefire way to get into the festive spirit, especially when it can be applied easily with minimal fallout. L’Oréal’s latest smudge-resistant shadow sticks offer just that with a twist-up applicator that glides easily onto the lid with plenty of precision. Take your pick from 10 pigmented shades — our favorites include Ice Sparkle (a slick silver) and Foil Copper (a warm burnt orange). If you prefer a more subtle look, why not grab one of the hydrating matte shades?

Alaïa Le Teckel Clutch
ICYMI, the east-west handbag has been the accessory of the year. Named after its long, sleek shape, the must-have style is Alaïa’s Le Teckel Clutch, the latest iteration of which swaps out the long straps for small tubular handles, reimagining the silhouette as an evening clutch. Available in black goatskin leather with silver hardware, oxblood suede, or black suede with gold hardware, it’s about to be the under-the-arm bag of the moment.

Kayali Yum Boujeee Marshmallow
Kayali might be known for its woody, oud-forward scents but its Yum collection is serving the sweet-toothed among us. The latest perfume in the range is built around fluffy pink marshmallow, with top notes of fruity apple, lemon, and nectarine blossom. The middle notes stay sweet with coconut flakes and strawberry, and the scent is topped off with dry notes of whipped vanilla and raspberry sugar. Encased in the classic, diamond-shaped bottle (this time in a warm baby pink), this candy-colored creation is seriously delectable.

Farm Rio’s Ski Collection
You might not think of Farm Rio as a winter brand but it has some great cold-weather attire. Whether you’re heading to the slopes this season or braving the snow at home, there are heaps of mood-lifting pieces among the Brazilian label’s skiwear offering, from a two-tone abstract floral and chevron jumpsuit to crocheted balaclavas and terracotta padded mittens.
