Crème de la Crème Face Cream
Urban Jungle
Price: $ 46.00
If you’ve not tried anything from this incredible Australian brand before, welcome to the jungle, my loves. This luxurious moisturiser is a dream for everyday wear, enriched 4% Squalane and 2% Niacinamide for 100% comfort on parched, dry skin. Hydrating and protecting from environmental aggressors, it is lightweight yet luxe enough to deserve a spot in your daily rotation.
101 Ointment Strawberry & Phone Lip Balm Holder
Lanolips
Price: $25.00
Hold the phone—and your Lanolips! This year’s IT accessory thanks to the Rhode lip case isn’t going anywhere, and now Lanolips have gone and outdone themselves with an adaptable, all-phones-welcome upgrade. Including the signature lanolin-rich lip ointment, this handy little gadget works via Magsafe and attaches to any compatible case. Too cute!
Hytride Flex Concealer
Holme Beauty
Price: $52.00
Hilary Holmes swings hard and never misses, so when this came across my desk, you can understand the excitement that ensued was warranted. Three years in the making, this transformative concealer goes the distance, while also working to strengthen the skin underneath. It’s unique formula combines tripeptide technology, tomato leaf extract and a caffeine alternative to strengthen, firm and hydrate, which is pretty much the dream when it comes to wearing concealer. Wearing beautifully and comfortably on the skin, it comes in 15 shades that brighten, correct or conceal.
The Minimalist
MERIT
Price: $38.00
If you haven’t heard the news, cult-favourite US beauty brand MERIT is coming to Australian, exclusively shipping through their website from September 18th, 2024. With so many exceptional products, it’s hard to know where to start, but let me give you a pointer: it’s with The Minimalist. Not quite a foundation, not quite a concealer, it’s the all-over product that will do the most, while leaving an incredible ‘just-stepped-out-of-the-spa’ glow all over your complexion. It’s truly like nothing else out there, and the coverage is Goldilocks level of jusssst right.
BeautyScreen™ SPF50 Peptide Foundation Tint
Naked Sundays
Price: $54.95
This is THE product that has been all over the internet, and for good reason. With beauty babes like Minnie Isaac, Lissette Diggs and Natt Desu singing it’s praises, this lightweight yet flawless coverage packed with peptides is a worthy contender for SPF of the year. Perfect for those no-makeup days and sun protection (worn on top of your everyday sunscreen, of course!), it applies like a high-end tint, but comes in-built with skin-loving goodies like Peptides, Squalane, Niacinamide and Polyglutamic Acid.
St Barts Hair Oil
Ouai
Price: $41.00
Hellooo Euro Summer in a bottle! Escape to the tropics with Ouai’s latest limited-edition treatment, which hydrates and tames frizz while leaving your hair smelling like a tropical paradise.

Absolutely RUSH to Sephora to grab this.

Illuminating Peptide Eye Serum
JS Health
Price: $39.99
Wake up, babe—it’s a new product from fan favourite, JS Health! While widely known for their incredible supplements and health products, their skincare range is made with the same care and efficacy, and performs beautifully for everyday wear. Enriched with Triple Action Eye-Q Complex to firm, de-puff and brighten, their exclusive cocktail of ingredients is highly potent on fine lines and wrinkles. A great size for travelling as well.
Just Joyous Lipstick
Trinny London
Price: $49.00
If you’re a fan of the original Trinny ‘T Pots’, this is great news for you. No more colourful fingers! It’s the quality you know and love, now in a convenient, slimline bullet applicator. With a high-shine formula packed with Hyaluronic Acid and Peptides for added benefits, this nourishing, sleek formula is a joy to wear. The coverage is also buildable so you can customise it to your mood or look for the day—very on-brand for Trinny.

Upgrade your oral care with Lovebyt, a chic and eco-conscious toothpaste made from natural ingredients like Eucalyptus, Calendula, and Chamomile, which provide soothing and nourishing benefits to the gums. This delightful cinnamon flavour will have you licking your teeth, while still providing that squeaky-clean, just washed mouthfeel.
Bronzino Illuminating Cream Bronzer
Tower28
Price: $33.00
Tower28 is another highly-anticipated brand that has just landed on our shores, and it’s definitely worth a try. I was fortunate enough to pick up a few of their products in LA earlier this year, and this has been my standout from the range. Ideal for the warmer days heading our way, this sheer-ish bronzer gives a hint of colour, a speckle of shine and leaves you with a sunkissed glow. In three adaptable shades, it’s beginner friendly and perfect for minimal makeup days.
YSL LoveShine Lipstick
YSL Beauty
Price: $70.00
Finally, it’s time to shine (can you tell I’m over mattes?)! YSL’s glossy, balm-like lipstick is a love letter to soft beauty in the most playful way. With the most luxurious packaging and 24-hour hydration, your lips will be treated to a lick of colour with a juicy finish. A hybrid between your favourite dewy lipstick and your ride-or-die lip oil, this is the perfect Spring accessory for your pout. At $70, she is pricey, but so worth the splurge.
Balayage Shampoo
MUVO
Price: $39.95
Okay innovation, we see you. A first-of-it’s-kind for ombre, balayage or money pieces, this is your salon-visit saving product in-between visits. Designed to keep your colour and base vibrant and glossy, this smart formula ensures that your multidimensional hair is subtly blended, refreshed and kept cool from brassiness, while deeply cleansing your locks all the while. So clever!
Press-On Nails
Finger Food
Price: $29.99
One word: Yum! This fun and fresh take on the press-on nail trend is a delight for the senses—and the fingers. Whether you’re after a bold statement (Brat Summer 2.0 is coming) or a minimalist look, these press-ons offer a wide variety of styles, all with non-budge application. Easy to apply and long-lasting, they provide the perfect, damage-free manicure without the hassle of polish or drying time. We love supporting small—and especially female founders—and these nails are truly good enough to eat.
Sunsitive® Sunscreen Serum SPF50+
Eau Thermale Avène
Price: $49.99
Avène have long been a favourite of mine—through the good times and the bad, their fail-safe formulas have had my back. To see an Australian-made sunscreen formulated especially for our hash climate is truly a turning point for sun protection, and one I’m wholeheartedly here for. To get serious for a second, skin cancer accounts for over 80% of all new cases of cancer diagnosed in Australia each year, so using SPF50+ which gives high broad spectrum UVB-UVA protection is the best thing we can do. As an added bonus, this new formula contains Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E and Aloe Vera and has an invisible finish so there’s no excuses.
Off Duty Serum Concealer
MECCA MAX
Price: $26.00
Our under-eyes could all use a little help after a drying winter, and Mecca Max’s latest release delivers just that. The creamy formula camouflages imperfections while nourishing the skin, leaving it looking natural and radiant while giving just enough coverage. In 20 stretchable shades, it follows a new wave of concealer which delivers medium application and maximum flexibility on the skin.
Bouncy & Firm Lip Treatment Balm
Laneige
Price: $39.00
The next generation of Laneige’s iconic lip products, the new Bouncy & Firm Lip Treatment Balm is your new go-to for soft, plump lips with an elevated application. Honey-like in texture, it contains Peony & Collagen Complex™ and peptides refreses and nourishes the lips, while targeting dryness and fine lines. The added bonus? A built-in lip applicator for flawless, even coverage before you go to bed. It really is the perfect blend of skincare and beauty.
Fleur du Mal Eau de Parfum
Dries Van Noten
Price: $485.00
We’ve been spoiled with all the new brands (finally) entering our market this month! Fashion powerhouse and colour masters Dries Van Noten have dropped in Aus with their luxe lipsticks, candles and perfumes, and they are a must-have for any scent conossiuer. Fleur du Mal Eau de Parfum is an intoxicating blend of floral and woody notes that embody both sensuality and mystery.
