If there is one thing to know about Hailey Bieber, it's that she is privy to a beauty trend (or five). She has been influential in putting glazed donut nails on the map, bringing back all manner of Y2K styles and was a poster girl for the Clean Girl Aesthetic – she wasn't crowned the most popular Beauty Icon of 2022 for nothing. It's only natural then, that her namesake beauty line was going to launch to high acclaim when it hit shelves Stateside last year. Across the pond, in the absence of being able to try it ourselves, many of us eagerly scrolled through reviews of the sell-out range as each product earned the viral seal of approval.

Thankfully, Hailey has heard our collective moans and has just launched her eponymous range on home soil, *cue sighs of relief*. As expected, we rushed to get our hands on her coveted kit of glow-giving products. This curated edit of offerings is what I'd call a capsule collection, comprising of Hailey's essentials. And if you know her social content well, by now you'll know glossy lips and glazed skin is her signature go-to, and both are easily achieved with staples in her range.

The range prides itself on being both affordable and luxurious, with gentle yet efficacious formulas that can easily be swapped in and out of your existing routine. Centred on skin-loving ingredients like peptides, niacinimide and shea butter (which all repeatedly appear in the ingredients lists), you can expect these clever buys to plump, soothe and restore your skin barrier, all while leaving behind that sought after natural dew. I've been testing out the range, so if you're keen to know my honest thoughts on it so far, I have the tea. Read on...

My Rhode Review

On application this isn't as gel-like as I'd imagined. That being said, it's lightweight and glides on effortlessly, soaking into the skin instantly and leaves behind a post-facial sheen that isn't so easily achieved by other serums that promise 'glow', which can often feel tacky. There's hyaluronic acid to lock in moisture, peptides to plump and niacinamide to brighten and improve texture. I apply two layers to really get that supple feeling, but the sheer wetness of the product makes it so comforting and soothing on application, I'd happily pack this atop my lacklustre skin on days I need it most.

Now this is a product I can see myself packing in my carry-on. Again, it's weightless but brilliantly rich thanks to a power packed list of ingredients, including nourishing shea butter, skin barrier supporting squalene, free radical protecting acai and (more) peptides and niacinamide to plump and brighten. Those with a combination to dehydrated skin type will appreciate the level of moisture it provides.

Arguably the hero of the bunch. There are three wonderful iterations of Hailey's viral lip treatment: Unscented, Watermelon and my personal favourite Salted Caramel. They smell delicious and are equally great at nourishing parched lips thanks to a blend of shea butter, peptides, cupuaçu and babassu. Expect an ultra-glazed, high-shine and uber-smooth finish.
