It's The January Beauty Hot List Report!
Let’s ring in the New Year with the hottest must-have beauty products that are sure to make a statement. Do you want to change your look or take a walk on the wild side? Here are my recommendations for a few must-have beauty products that should be in every woman’s makeup bag this month.
L’Oreal
Ever spent hours perfecting your makeup only to see it disappear just halfway through the day? Then the L’Oreal Infallible Pro-spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray is one must-have you just can’t skip. L’Oreal's latest invention on the market is picking up some serious buzz. The protective shield provides a lightweight veil over your makeup to protect against temperature changes and harsh light. Simply apply the spray post-makeup in an X pattern, followed by a T-pattern. Now isn’t that something?

Moroccanoil
Morocanoil’s latest Smoothing Collection is definitely one way to show some love to your winter-struck tresses. Moroccanoil's Smoothing Lotion tames even the frizziest of manes. This could be your go-to product for soft, smooth and manageable hair. Simply apply one to two pumps of the product to damp hair and then go about styling as usual. For the rough winters, this is essential.

Sephora
If any of the trends from 2014 are sure to stick around, it’s dramatic gel eyeliner looks. Cat-winged eyes are back, ladies. The Sephora Collection Outrageous Intense Waterproof Gel Eyeliner glides on in one simple stroke. The built-in primer and colour ensure that your eyeliner stays on for the entire day. I love the three beautifully rich shades — Intense Onyx, Intense Sapphire and Intense Espresso. This gel eyeliner is certainly going in my makeup bag!

Essie
Essie’s new Cashmere Matte 2015 collection exudes sophistication and chic with every stroke. The super-soft cashmere embraces a subtle satin-matte texture. The six shades embody timeless elegance and will pair perfectly with your winter wardrobe.

Revlon
One must-have foundation on my list is the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Crème makeup. The mousse texture is extremely soft and silky. The non-heavy makeup will keep you feeling light and fresh all day long.

Vasanti
This winter, hydration is critical, and my vote goes to Vasanti’s Age is Only a Number Elixir. This face oil and powerful serum is natural. It delivers antioxidants that protect the skin while repairing it. A no-nonsense elixir is what you need to look your best.

Shiseido
Shiseido's Urban Environment Tinted UV Protector SPF 43 is a new launch for 2015 and a product I can’t wait to try. The sheer, hydrating and oil-free tinted cream defends the skin against UV rays while giving a flawless look. The shades range from light to dark. It’s a perfect match for South Asian skin tones. Not only is there an option for a variety of tinted shades, but the sheer factor will blend into any skin tone.

Pureology
Just because the cold days are upon us, that doesn’t mean you can’t flaunt your naturally beautiful curls. I love my locks, but the winter does force me to bun up. The Pureology Curl Complete collection for colour-treated curls and waves is a blessing. The products reduce breakage and add moisture so you can be the belle of the ball with your lovely locks.

OPI
Before the film’s premiere in February, O.P.I launched a Fifty Shades of Grey nail lacquer collection. The colours touch on a variety of grey shades and an irresistible red lacquer. The limited edition set of six colours is simply too tempting to resist.

Almay
Soft, smooth and hydrated lips are what every woman wishes for. A must-have beauty gem is the Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipstick. With two shades to coordinate with every skin tone, there’s nothing more to be grateful about. The ultra-buttery formula drenches lips in hydration and makes sure you never have to compromise on that smile again. If you have a medium brown skin tone, the berry shade perfectly complements your skin.
