GUCCI Vernis à Ongles

Gucci’s vintage-inspired beauty capsule boasts five vibrant new nail polishes and they are giving us life this season.

I have to admit, it’s mostly about the packaging for me. But of course, the nail polish itself is to die for. 

Why it made the cut: the Annabel Rose (nude) colour glides on easily and streak-free and it’s not sheer so you really only need two coats, max.

ELLA BACHÉ SPORTSBLOC GREAT SPF50+

An all-over face and body sunscreen formulated specifically for the harsh Aussie sun. The new Ella Baché sun cream is 4 hours water resistant and perfect for the sun lovers with UVA and UVB protection. 

Why it made the cut: a deliciously thick cream that doesn’t smell like a typical sunscreen, isn’t greasy or sticky and has added lanolin and cocoa butter that hydrates and nourishes like a moisturising cream.

Swap your body moisturiser for this new sun cream this summer!

Available 28th September at ellabache.com.au

BLUSH OFF SHAMPOO CLEANSER

Finally, a cleanser for our makeup brushes and re-usable face pads that actually clean all (99%) of the makeup off! (I’ve been using normal hair shampoo until now)

Why it made the cut: when first cleaning my face pad with Blush Off’s shampoo cleanser, I was surprised how much makeup it took off first go. I haven’t been able to keep my face pads white without washing it by hand and then again in the washing machine, so this is a real game-changer.

MORPHE HINT HINT SKIN TINT

A lightweight foundation that you can build up from a sheer to medium coverage, with a naturally radiant finish that lasts up to 16 hours, is non-comedogenic and vegan.

KLAIRS FUNDAMENTAL WATER GEL CREAM

When cream and a gel-based formula have a baby, you’re left with Klairs new Fundamental Water Gel Cream. It has a light silky texture with a consistency like custard, basically heaven in a pot.

Why it made the cut: if you have skin that’s on the dry side, the last thing you need in the hot sticky summer is layering your face with a thick heavy moisturiser. This cream will give you that added moisture without the heavy and thick feeling of a winter cream, and you’ll feel fresh-faced right away.

FACE HALO X

Following the success of Face Halo, comes the Face Halo X. A perfect combination of a cotton tip and cotton pad for cleaning up delicate and hard to reach areas that only cotton tips could get to. 

Why it made the cut: a pocket rocket product, small enough that you can keep in your handbag for touching up smudges on the go. But the ultimate game-changer is cleaning up fine-lined mistakes like lip liner and eyeliners for straight edges.

The Illuminating Firming Lotion features an added natural glow, formulated with Sapphire vintage gold pigments made from a biodegradable mica.

COLOR WOW DREAM COAT

Okay, so this baby technically isn’t new, BUT it’s new to me. After recently visiting my hair salon for a cut, I was introduced to Color Wow’s Dream Coat. Once you shampoo and condition your hair, divide into sections and apply liberally from root to tip. The formula is activated when blow-drying your hair so ensure you maintain tension when blow-drying. 

Why it made the cut: your hair is coated in the frizz-fighting formula and you’re left with silky smooth, glass hair! The results will last you up to 4 washes and can be used on all hair types for all your glossy hair dreams that rivals Kim K’s.

Is it a gloss? Is it a balm? If you know, you know. Fenty Beauty’s Pro Kiss’r Lip Balm now comes in three new shades that are sheer enough for a subtle hint of colour but with a major boost of moisture. 

New Shades: Cocoa Drizzle, Latte Lips, and Pinch Me.

Why it made the cut:  When applied, it looks like your wearing a lip gloss, but it feels like a lip balm. It’s made with shea butter, that is non-sticky or greasy.

SCHWARZKOPF PROFESSIONAL CHROMAID CLEAR BONDING COLOUR MASK

We don’t take kindly to dull locks over here, and Schwarzkopf Professional’s latest ChromaID range is the first customisable semi-permanent hair colour. A special mention to the Clear Bonding Colour Mask as it not only is used to mix and customise colour but when used alone, is a deeply conditioning mask with the added bonus of shine enhancement.

Why it made the cut: it’s a multipurpose mask for a non-committal semi-permanent pastel colour, but I use it alone for a deep conditioning with an extra shine that lasts up to 2 washes.

TRIBE Peachy rose! hydrating mist

We love a good mist around here and a good mist should work harder to provide more than just the fresh feeling of hydration. Tribe Skincare’s Peachy Rose! Hydrating Mist does just that.

klorane’s detox dry shampoo with aquatic mint

I was introduced to Klorane’s dry shampoo after using their original Oat Milk Dry Shampoo. This was from day one my go-to favourite brand of dry shampoos. So when they launched the new Aquatic Mint Dry Shampoo, I was all over it. 

Why it made the cut: you need to feel it to believe it. The new minty formula feels so refreshing on your scalp and don’t even get me started on the scent. The formula clarifies the hair and scalp leaving it with a sweet minty fresh scent while protecting your hair from pollutants and environmental residue.

You can leave it in for 5 minutes or overnight.

Why it made the cut: the formula acts as a bond-building treatment for damaged hair, penetrating three layers of our hair. Better yet, the formula is suitable for all hair types.
