It's that time of the month again, friends... beauty round-up time! And hooly dooly, do we have a good one in store for you!

The Mamamia team have tried and tested plenty of new skincare, makeup, hair and body products this June — and we're just itching to share all our much-loved recommendations with you.

Because, as we were all taught from a young age, good beauty girls don't gatekeep products that actually work. 

Before we get into it, listen to Mamamia's daily beauty podcast, You Beauty. Post continues after audio.

Here you’ll find reviews of the best beauty products that launched in May 2024, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered.  

Let's go!

Charlotte Tilbury Unreal Skin Sheer Glow Tint Hydrating Foundation Stick, $63.

"I was instantly impressed by how lightweight, sheer and blendable the cream formula felt on my skin — I whacked it on straight from the stick and blended it into my skin with my fingers and it made my face just look like a better, healthier version of itself. I tried the shade 1.5 and the finish was VERY glowy. Almost Flawless Filter-level. I was wearing a glow-giving primer underneath, so it was a little SHINY. I ended up adding a teeny tiny drop of my other foundation on top — and the finish was glorious. The textbook definition of lit-from-within glow.

Bioderma Atoderm 2 in 1 Dry Body Oil, $46.99.

"Calling all dry-skin girlies who absolutely hate feeling like an oily, moisturiser-covered seal during winter. Do I have the product for you! This new formula from Bioderma is a two-in-one body oil that hydrates dry, flaky skin while also exfoliating the surface of the skin. I’ve been using it for nearly a month and it helps me avoid oily build up that contributes to blocked pores and keratosis pilaris, while still ensuring the skin feels soft and supple. It’s a dry oil so you don’t feel slick or slippery after using it." - Cassamdra Green, Morning Editor.

FOREO Supercharged Moistuiriser, $109.

" I LOVE this overnight sleeping mask. I always feel like my skin is revitalised and spritely afterwards. And whenever I have used it, without fail I will get a compliment on my skin the next day." - Grace Rouvray, Senior Podcast Producer.

Dr. PAWPAW Your Gorgeous Skin Cleansing Balm, $33.09.

Image: Supplied.

"I've been loving this cleanser lately. It's a balm texture and feels super nice on the skin, not drying at all. It's available at Priceline and it’s definitely going to become one of my go-to cleansers to stock up on." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer. 

ALPHA-H Liquid Gold, $74.95.

"Do you recognise this little fella? It's ALPHA-H's cult Liquid Gold! In fancy new packaging! Still the same great formula (five per cent glycolic acid and licorice extract), it's a total gun for exfoliating and brightening the skin. For the first time in, well.... ever... I'm giving it a proper whirl in my skincare routine and loving it!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Batiste Brunette Dry Shampoo, $22.70.

"After years of using the cheapest dry shampoo I could get my hands on, I am converted. I can’t believe how much difference a good quality dry shampoo can make. My hair texture is so much nicer, and I can stretch out my washes by an extra day or two." - Talissa Bazaz, Content Manager Podcasts.

NARS Afterglow Liquid Blush, $53.

"I recently moved house, so I pulled these blushes out of my overloaded beauty draws and got a rude shock: the perfect blush had been sitting right under my nose for months! It provides a natural but buildable blush to the high points of the cheeks with a dewy finish that then sets and lasts throughout the day. It’s lightweight and flattering on the cheek area, giving a radiant, youthful appearance. I’m truly in love with the ‘Dolce Vita’ shade. I thought I’d never stray from my Rare Beauty liquid blushes, but it turns out there is more room in my high rotation than I thought." - Cassandra Green, Morning Editor.

Vaseline Lip Therapy Rosy Lips, $5.

"I just discovered this magic in a tub over the weekend. Great for popping on overnight to battle winter lip dryness." - Nat Harvey, CEO.

Clemence Lime Caviar Eye Creme, $71.98.

"Another current fave is this eye cream. It’s my first time using an eye cream and it’s been helping with the puffiness I had been experiencing. My mum is also a big fan of this brand too." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

The Ordinary Squalane + Amino Acids Lip Balm, $16.30.

Image: Supplied.

"A good lip balm is one that doesn't leave your lips feeling flaky and thirstier than when you first applied it. One that doesn't make you feel you need to keep swiping it on every three seconds. And friends, this is one of these lip balms. I have about ten lip balms on rotation at any one time, but I love how easy it is to pop this in your bag or pocket. But it isn't just cute; it works! No flashy packaging, scents or colours — just a very good, science-backed balm that stops you from getting flaky, winter lips." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Benefit Pomade Brush, $39.

"If you struggle with your eyeliner, I would highly suggest trying out a dark brown matte eyeshadow (it needs to be pigmented) and a teensy angled brush. I’ve tried many over the years and I don’t think this can be beaten for beginners. The tightly packed bristles and mini size were originally designed to help you draw on individual brow hairs, but it also works perfectly to get crisp, skinny (read, no giant bat wings here) eyeliner using an eyeshadow. I would say this is a must-have in any beginner eyeliner addict’s collection." - Cassandra Green, Morning Editor. 

Differin Acne Treatment Cream, $60.

Image: Supplied.

"While I don't suffer from acne and can't speak from personal experience, I feel it is my duty to inform you that you can now find heavy-duty acne products at the chemist like Differin Acne Treatment Cream. Containing adapalene (a type of retinoid) it's used to help unclog pores and reduce inflammation." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

L'Occitane Shea Butter One-Minute Hand Scrub, $19.

"This hand scrub is incredible. It's great for winter and leaves your hands so soft! Like a little spa treatment at home." - Nat Harvey, CEO.

Lula Self-Warming Body Patches, $20.

"My neck has been in PIECES these past few weeks, and these came across my desk and rescued me from some crazy pain. I've told the entire office about them — they're basically little patches (they kind of look like a period pad?), that you stick to your clothes. They heat up INSTANTLY and deliver therapeutic warmth and pain relief for up to 10 hours. Meaning one patch will do you a whole day in the office. They hit up to 50 degrees celsius, which is just mental, and relax sore muscles on your back, neck and shoulders. These are EVERYTHING." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $40.

Image: Supplied.

"Told you I was a sucker for lip balms. With a sheer cocoa colour, this latest lip butter from Summer Fridays is high on rotation right now — it's a winner when it comes to instant moisture and shine and I love the hint of coffee." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
