"Yes! Newbies from Ultra Violette! And they couldn't have come at a better time. I've been layering them under my foundation (and over my SPF) and the formula gives my skin the most beautiful lit-from-within radiance that makes me look very healthy and like I do yoga and regular skin treatments (I don't). It's better skin in a bottle. Perfect for party season!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Sol Janeiro Brazilian Glossy Nourishing Hair Oil, $34.

"This nourishing hair oil by Sol Janeiro smells so delicious, I don't leave the house without putting it on the ends of my hair now. For real, it ruins my day if I forget. It makes my dry ends look so silky and helps my hair sit nicely." - Helena Fabian, Junior Creative Producer.

Rare Beauty Always An Optimist Soft Radiance Setting Powder, $44.

"I’ve been loving this Rare Beauty powder. It’s the soft radiance one, and it’s been great in this warmer weather for ensuring my face doesn’t look like a grease pit. Considering I use it every day, $44 for this product feels like a bargain." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

"I am an oily skin girl and this setting spray has got me through the last few 40-degree days and is cheap and cruelty-free. It’s such a fine mist which I also love!" - Olivia Skuce, Brand Partnerships Executive.

"A new-to-me find: the Cinch Pump + Glow moisturiser. My skin is always thirsty AF, dull and also oily. Cute! So my skin has been loving this moisturiser's mix of ingredients: Kakadu plum (form of vitamin C), glycerin, aloe vera and panthenol. I've definitely noticed a difference - my skin barrier seems happier, and I do get compliments on my glow levels (!!!!) when I wear it under my makeup." - Shell Webb, Branded Content Manager.

NYX Professional Makeup Butter Gloss, $13.99.

"2023 is officially the year of the bronzing serum - because this is another newbie I've been loving. It's a hydrating two-in-one serum from Bondi Sands and it's perfect for boosting radiance (I love wearing it under my makeup) or for those 'no makeup' makeup days."  - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Thursday Plantation Tea Tree Body Wash for Acne, $15.69.

"Body acne sucks. I've been breaking out on my back because it's hot/sweaty/just cause, so I've been using this in the shower to help clear my skin and keep pimples at bay. It's soap-free and contains 100 per cent pure antibacterial Australian Tea Tree Oil. It also smells super refreshing and gives you a lovely boost in the morning." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

"Mecca has a mini Clinique Black and Pink Honey on sale for $42 (same price as a full size!) This is my go-to - it feels exactly like a balm but is such a nice colour. I always get compliments on it and recommend it to anyone who will listen." - Madeline Muir, Managing Producer Social.

"As someone who uses heat tools on the regular, my hair can get dry. Brittle. Snappy. Unhappy. I've tried a lot of different hair treatments from many brands and while I have a few I really like, haircare is one of those things I don't like spending a whole heap of money on. This new range from A'kin crept across my desk, and not only does it work wonders (my hair feels healthy, strong and shiny) but it's nice and affordable too. We love to see it." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

MCoBeauty Lip Oil Hydrating Treatment, $9.80.

"My trio selection from Who Is Elijah. I love these scents individually but I also love to layer them in different combinations for something different. The highlight for me is the scent HIS | HER - it's fresh, a bit masculine, and sexy." - Yvette Bay People & Culture Manager.

"I was recently gifted this TBH Skincare Pucker Up SPF30 lip balm and I love it! It’s got a gorgeous pink tint and it's perfect for summer. I'm thinking of purchasing a few more to ensure I have one for every handbag. Did I mention it smells like coconuts!?" - Emma Wilde.

"I'm the laziest gewl when it comes to haircare, in that I haven't used anything outside of supermarket shampoo and conditioner for years. My hairdresser recommend I try this treatment and I adore it (and her for getting me on it!). Beautifully nourishing, super hydrating for your scalp (TikTok tells me I should do things for my scalp, so??) and my hair is so silky smooth. Dolphin vibes." - Shell Webb, Branded Content Manager.
