Best Beauty Discoveries 2025 | Hair and Body

Wrapping up my Best Beauty Discoveries of 2025 with hair and body care! I am a creature of habit but still found some newbies to me last year that I loved!

Starting with the Coco and Eve Like a Virgin Hair Masque RRP $56 CAD | £30* and this blew me away this year! It’s an intensively nourishing formula containing shea butter and argan oil to detangle hair and tame frizziness. I let it marinate in my hair for 5-10 minutes then wash out and style as normal. The result is manageable, soft, shiny and hydrated hair with no straw like ends! Usually, I don’t see a huge difference between normal conditioners and hair masks but with this one I can really see and feel the difference in my hair! It’s got a lovely lightweight coconut scent and works for all hair types!

On days I don’t plan to use a hair mask, I have been making a point of oiling my hair before washing with the OGX Coconut Miracle Oil RRP $13 CAD | £9.99. This is definitely the Abbey Yung effect and has made such a difference to my hair! This would be way too heavy of an oil to use on my hair after washing but I coat my ends in it and let it soak in for about an hour before showering and wash out with a clarifying shampoo. I am left with soft, hydrated hair with great shine and my ends don’t look or feel as frazzled! It smells like a vacation and it’s so affordable I don’t feel bad or like I am wasting it by washing out!

Sticking with the drugstore and after enjoying the pre-shampoo treatment from the same line, I picked up the OGX Bond Protein Repair Heat Protect Spray RRP $11.97 CAD | £15. This protects up to 230°C and is a weightless mist with a continuous spray. I spray on damp hair, it doesn’t weigh it down and leaves it feeling soft and protected from the heat I use! The spray is formulated to rebuild bonds in the inner hair cortex and to bind to damaged sites on hair cuticle to help keep hair strong, smooth, and resilient. I enjoy the scent too, it’s hard to describe but inoffensive!

Moving onto body products and this 2025 was the year of Josie Maran for me! The Body Butter in Topless Tangerine RRP $22 CAD* is so creamy and hydrating and leaves my skin feeling soft and glowing! It contains argan oil, avocado oil and shea butter good for skin elasticity and suppleness and it moisturises my skin so well and smells incredible! This travel size is so handy for trips too, I took it to Norway last year and it lasted me most of the trip as you don’t need a lot of it! The formula is perfect, thick but it sinks in easily!

The body butter is the perfect companion to the Josie Maran Fragrance Mist in Topless Tangerine RRP $38 CAD*. I used this so much during summer especially and it smells so fruity and fresh! It is a milky emulsion scented with pixie tangerine, pink grapefruit and brown sugar. Like the body butter, the mist also contains argan oil to lock in moisture and scent and the two can be layered. They both come in a range of scents, but Topless Tangerine is so special, I love it! Read more here!
