Haus Labs

In maybe the most highly anticipated drop of 2025, Lady Gaga’s cosmetics brand is finally available on Australian shores from today. This is one of the most Makeup-artist-approved brands I’ve come across, and the consensus is that the Triclone Skin Tech Foundation and Concealer are must haves. Instead of just being another brand with a celebrity face haphazardly attached, Haus Labs touts high quality, clean vegan formulas, at a very respectable price, that stand up on their own. The products are perfect for a full spectrum of uses from your daily beat, to a more creative evening lewk. Available at Sephora now.

Ok hear me out, a $50 lip product seems extreme on first glance, but when it delivers real results it’s worth it! The Derm Correxion Lip Volumizer is more like skincare for lips, full of incredible hydrating hyaluronic acid and pro-collagen peptides, it delivers 48hrs of hydration in one swipe, and fuller, more voluminous lips with consistent use. With winter fast approaching this is an absolute winner for anyone else who suffers from dry lips, and those who want a non-invasive alternative to lip filler.

The Water Bank Gentle Gel Cleanser is a gorgeously moisturising skin-PH balanced wash, which removes impurities without stripping the skin. In a satisfyingly sized pump bottle, this will get you through your daily double cleanses for a long time. It’s is nice and gentle with no overpowering fragrance, but filled with beautiful ingredients like Amino-acid complex, Hyaluronic Acid and Allantoin to truly pamper your cute face. It pairs perfectly with a swipe of their iconic Water Bank moisturiser afterwards.

I have a huge gripe with most bronzing drops, and that’s that they’re full of glitter. Don’t get me wrong, I do love a shiny highlight as much as the next person, but don’t want a full face of disco ball. Enter Queen Screen SPF 50 Super Glow Drops in Bronzing, a beautiful warming glow with the enormous added benefit of their top tier SPF. It’s a gorgeous serum-y texture that’s a pleasure to apply and leaves just right hint of colour.

Pour Femme Perfume smells as elegant and luxurious as it looks. She’s a glamorous, clean, floral woody musk scent, and wearing it makes me feel like I’m in an ad with long dramatically, swooshing hair (even though in reality I have a very short bob). Featuring notes of mandarin, pink peppercorn, jasmine, vanilla and rose, this fragrance is sure to turn heads. Plus the bold gold bottle is simply iconic and makes a statement from your shelf.

VT COSMETICS 

I’m drawn to K-beauty brands because they really deliver, and this mask is no exception. The Vita-Light Reedle Shot Brightening Hydrogel Mask is a two step system starting with a tingly gel, which pierces the skin with micro Reedle shots to help the absorption of ingredients found in mask in the next step. The masks come in a selection of actives, and are designed to be left on for many hours for maximum impact. My favourite way to enjoy these is on a long haul flight, if you’re brave enough to wear it!
