It's a new year, friends. And that means one thing: NEW BEAUTY PRODUCTS.

With the first month of the year coming to an end, you best believe the Mamamia team tried and tested plenty of new (and new to us) skincare, makeup, hair and body products. We've been slapping on heaps of snazzy stuff (cheers, Christmas!).

But before we get into it, listen to the latest episode of Mamamia's daily beauty podcast, You Beauty. Post continues after audio.

What's that? Are we keen to share them with you? Pfft. Course we are. We're almost TOO excited.

Here you’ll find reviews of the best beauty products that launched in January 2023, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered.

Benefit Cosmetics Fluff Up Brow Wax, $48.

"This is HOT off the press (it literally launched days ago) and, yeah - it's bloody good. In true Benefit Cosmetics fashion, the brand has dropped this delightful long-wearing cream/wax that keeps your brows in place without that gross crunchy/can't move your forehead feeling. Your brows look fluffy and voluminous, while still looking gloriously natural. Already a favourite." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

MECCA MAX Wink Ink Super Liquid Liner, $19.

"My housemate bought me this for Christmas and it's probably the best eyeliner I've ever used. It's perfect for anyone who loves a wing. The tip is super small, so it's ideal for anyone who is mistake prone - and (wait for it), it doesn't dry out! I'm obsessed. Photo as evidence." - Mikayla Floriano, Senior Podcast Producer.

Sunday Riley CEO Glow Serum, $128.

"Ok look, I finally did it. I did it, okay? I spent what needed to be spent on the Sunday Riley CEO Glow Serum. After trialling a small size, I realised the benefits to my face were absolutely undeniable, and once I ran out of it my skin was sad... for months. No more radiance. No more smooth, bouncy forehead vibes. I bought a cheaper vitamin C cream trying in vain to sub it in, and it just didn't hit. So I walked myself into Mecca and splurged. No regrets." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.

Rare Beauty Kind Words Matte Lip Liner, $26.

"This lip liner has reminded me how much I love them. The formula's super creamy, this colour ('Fun') looks like 'your lips but better' on me and you don't need to sharpen it - the main reason I stopped using lip liners is that I could never find my sharpener! It also has a matching lipstick or looks bomb on its own with gloss." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Lifestyle Writer and Weekend Editor.

The Cleansing Cloth, $39.99.

"I've found love this month with a cleansing cloth! Lost count of how many reusable cotton pads and muslin cloths I've churned through and so quickly they've just turned... ick. 

"Loving this micro-fibre cutie much better. Still machine-washable, and actually handy to pack too if I'm a night away from home, as it dries quickly and hardens (stay with me), but turns silky soft again when wet (!!!)." - Michelle Webb, Branded Content Manager.

Cloud by Ariana Grande, $69.99.

Image: Supplied

"I've been OBSESSED with Cloud by Ariana Grande lately. It's always sold out (for good reason), but now that I have my hands on this whipped cream-lavender dream, I can't stop spraying. Fantastic staying power on this one too!" - Jaslyn Berg, Brand Partnerships Executive.

Kora Organics Turmeric Glow Foaming Cleanser, $56.

"I'm not normally one for a spendy cleanser but this Kora one is reeaaalllly nice. Feels gentle and foams well. It's got a lovely minty/cooling ingredient that leaves my face feeling so fresh - I especially love using it in the morning." - Emma Gillespie, Host/Senior Podcast Producer.

Schwarzkopf got2b glued 4 Brows & Edges, $17.99.

Image: Supplied

"Yep! I'm giving you another eyebrow gel recommendation. But I promise this is the best one. The same formula as their hair gel (which you need if you love a slicked-back bun), it's got a super fine wand that keeps your brows in place all day and works on baby hairs too. Get it from your nearest chemist or supermarket. So good." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Lifestyle Writer and Weekend Editor.

Sundae Vanilla Shower Foam, $20.

Image: Supplied

"Who doesn't love feeling like a lil slice of cake in the shower? This whipped cream style body wash is so fun. I've tried a few of the scents now and Very Vanilla is the GOAT for me." - Katie Stow, Evening Editor.

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel, $16.50.

"Leigh Campbell recommends this *constantly* on the You Beauty podcast. I finally got my hands on it and I'm equally as obsessed. Its tacky texture makes it perfect under makeup and it's light enough for my acne-prone skin. I've almost finished my first jar, and it's only been a month." - Mikayla Floriano, Senior Podcast Producer.

Airyday Golden Glow SPF50+ Dreamscreen, $46.95.

Image: Supplied

"I have lost count of the amount of people I have forcibly pushed this product on to. The perfect hybrid of illuminator and skincare, I wear it every day, without fail, and my skin has the healthiest-looking glow. Without any makeup. You just need to try it." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.

Glasshouse Fragrances Car Diffusers, $49.95.

Image: Supplied

"Excuse me while I thank the beauty gods. Because YES, you can now get the glorious smell of your favourite Glasshouse candle in your car - and mercy, I'm never going to want to leave my vehicle.

"You basically purchase a diffuser with your fave scent, and then you can top it up with the replacement scent discs (they cost $14.95 each). I'm obsessed with A Tahaa Affair, for obvious reasons." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Holme Beauty Setting Spray, $49.

Image: Supplied

"This setting spray - chef's kiss. I took it with me on my Christmas holiday in freezing England and it gave my skin the prettiest glow, I had multiple people asking me what I'd done to it. It's stunning. Just make sure to shake the bottle before you spray... learnt that the hard way." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Lifestyle Writer and Weekend Editor.

Sunbum Revitalizing Conditioner, $10.99.

Image: Supplied

"This is by a sunscreen company – who make SPFs that smell like tropical holidays in a bottle – so I had to try their haircare siblings out! This conditioner has the same delicious smell and coats my hair really well.

"It's designed for lazy girls like me who live at the beach and don't always nourish their hair after a salty dip. I've been using it for a fortnight now and my hair already feels like a healthier version of its beachy self." - Katie Stow, Evening Editor.

Mecca Cosmetica Everyday Face Oil, $44.

"Look, I'm usually not into face oils of any sort - I'm on prescription medication for acne and have super sensitive skin so have to be SO careful. BUT! I got this as a birthday gift from Mecca and I have used it ever since. It is amazing - no breakouts, no irritation, and really helps my skin look more hydrated." - Laura Koefoed, Social Media Producer.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $24.

Image: Supplied

"I am a lip balm junkie. I have so many dwelling in the bottom of so many handbags, but there is no better lip balm than this one. It's thick and buttery with zero gloss-factor so it just makes my lips look hydrated and plump, and stays put all day. Feels amazing, too." - Tamara Holland, Head of Lifestyle.

Rose Inc Cleanse Sublime Micellar Makeup Remover, $39.

Image: Supplied

"Rose Inc just dropped a makeup remover  - and trust me when I say it is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L. The no-rinse formula is gorgeous and creamy and dissolves makeup without stripping your skin. In fact, it goes that step further and contains barrier-strengthening ceramides and hydrating squalane to smooth and hydrate. 

"PLUS, it comes with refillable canisters - so it's nice to the environment, too. We love to see it." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer. 

Rare Beauty Positive Light Under Eye Brightener, $42.

Image: Supplied

"So, like everyone else, I'm officially obsessed with a TikToker called Alix Earle. And after I saw her try this, I obviously needed to as well. 

"It's basically a two-in-one - a concealer to brighten and a metal ball to de-puff. It's really lightweight (not cakey at all) and the ball feels like heaven when you're half asleep. Yeah, I get the hype." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Lifestyle Writer and Weekend Editor.

La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Serum, $65.95.

Image: Supplied

"This launched a good few months back, and I haven't stopped using it since. If you read anything I write (hi, mum!) you'll know I'm *weirdly* obsessed with La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume - so when this hit shelves I couldn't get my hands/face on it quick enough.

"Annnnd for good reason. Skin feels instantly hydrated, more comfortable and plumper. I use it in the morning after my vitamin C serum, and it's just a really nice time for my face. I even wrote a full review on it here." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.
