"This powder... I can't begin to describe how good it is. I apply the one on the left first to blur, then the subtle highlighter and bronzer. It makes my skin look glowy, airbrushed and fresh. It's probably the best product I've used this year." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer & Weekend Editor.

The Mellow Cosmetics Matte Lip Paints, $99.

"The Mellow Cosmetics Matte Lip Paints paired with their lip liners are amazzzzingggg. I’m not really into the matte vibe but I’m a fan of how creamy they are and how they make my lips still feel soft and satiny. I’m wearing the Matte Lip Paint in Berlin and their gel lip pencil in Adria." - Shannen Findlay, Editorial Assistant.

Trinny London Eye2Eye in Joy, $34, Trinny London Eye2Eye in Passion, $34, and Trinny London Flush Blush in Wiggs, $40.

"I am obsessed with these three pots from Trinny London. Two are eyeshadows that I’ve been wearing daily - a soft shimmery burgundy in the crease/outer corner and a shimmery dusty pink on the lid.

"Super-easy to use and I’ve had a few compliments, which always feels fab! The last one is a crème blush, which I use as a blush, sometimes an eyeshadow and often a lip tint (we love a three-in-one!)." - Isabella Ross, News Writer.

GXVE By Gwen Stefani Can't Stop Staring Lengthening & Lifting Mascara, $31.

"Okay, but did we know Gwen Stefani had her own line of makeup in Sephora? Was this a thing we were aware of?? I tried the new lengthening and lifting mascara - and I'm obsessed with the brush. It has a rounded tip, so you can get into those hard-to-reach corner lashes, and lengthen and lift the whole show. Keen to see more, Gwenny!" - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand, $60, and Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray, $49.

"These have been my obsession recently. The new Charlotte Tilbury Matte Beauty Blush Wand is so deep and creamy! I always get nervous about liquid blush being too bright or not blending well, but the 'Pillow Talk' shade is so natural and blends so smoothly. Especially when paired with the cult favourite Charlotte Tilbury Setting Spray." - Helena Fabian, Junior Creative Producer.

La Roche-Posay Effaclar Duo (+) Acne Moisturiser, $35.95.

"This stuff is genuinely magic. It clears your skin overnight," - Cassie Merrit, Junior Podcast Producer.

Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Glow Glide Face Architect Highlighter, $69.

"There was no doubt in my mind that this would be good - a 'Pillow Talk' highlighter? Yes, please. I layer it on top of my blush and it instantly livens everything up. And a little goes a long way." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer & Weekend Editor.

Jimmy Choo I Want Choo Forever Perfume, $99.

"This is THE BEST perfume I’ve ever had. Hard call I know, but the scent is so good. It says the notes are amber, rose, cherry and vanilla. But I must stress that it’s not too sweet smelling, and a bit sexy if anything. It is on the exxy side but I’ve found a little goes a long way and lasts. Best purchase." - Isabella Ross, News Writer.

Pat McGrath Labs Divine Skin Rose 001, $139.

"Is it the prettiest product I own? I think... yes. It's spendy as hell, but omg it's unreal. I usually hate anything with rose in it (?) and never use an essence (always feel like it's pointless) - but, goodness. This has changed me. It's the absolute perfect product to prep your skin before makeup (you splash it on before your serums). A bi-phase formula that you shake to mix, it gives your skin a big ol' smooch of hydration and makes your makeup sit like a dream. It's magic in a bottle." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Daily Naturals Haircare Ends Sealer Leave In Treatment, $18.99, and Protective Leave In Treatment, $20.99.

"This past month I've been trying out the Daily Naturals Haircare Range and my two favourite products were the Ends Sealer Leave In Treatment and the Protective Leave In Treatment. My hair can get quite dry and brittle, and these two products make it feel like I've had a fresh trim every time I use them. Will definitely be re-stocking these two!" - Helena Fabian, Junior Creative Producer. 

Mesoestetic Age Element Brightening Concentrate, $179, and Age Element Brightening Cream, $139.

"This combo from Mesoestetic is such a dream! The texture of the serum is super light but nourishing on the skin, and the cream has been my go-to hydration for the 30-plus degree days we've been having. Definitely recommend for any oily or combo skin-type gals!" - Jaslyn Berg, Brand Partnerships Executive.

Glam Raider Triangle Powder Puffs, $12.

"I started using these Triangle Powder Puffs from Glam Raider and they are the most important beauty tool I own now! I use them to set my under eyes with powder. One of my eyes gets really watery and makeup usually slides off by the end of the night - and I don't know why or how, but when I used these powder puffs, my face makeup did not move an inch. They also make my pores invisible. Oh - AND they're easy to clean. My best investment thus far." - Shannen Findlay, Editorial Assistant.   

Mecca Max Lip Gloss in Base Line, $19.

"I recently purchased this Mecca Max lip gloss in Base Line. It has the perfect tint and gloss ratio. Not too much pigment and not too shiny. It has become a permanent addition to my handbag!" - Elecia Lay, Sales Manager.

IGK Thirsty Girl Coconut Milk Leave-in Conditioner, $49.

Image: Supplied

"When my hair is feeling dry and brittle, I always reach for this. As the name suggests, it packs my hair with hydration post-shower and leaves it feeling moisturised once dry. And the fact it's in a spray bottle makes it so easy." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer & Weekend Editor.

MCoBeauty Lip Oil Hydrating Treatment, $14.

Image: Supplied

"I'm loving these new lip oil shades from MCoBeauty! I'm a BIG, LOUD fan of the Dior Lip Oils, but they're so incredibly pricey and I'm so incredibly poor hahahelphaha - and these are honestly such a close dupe." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Paula's Choice SKIN PERFECTING 2% BHA Liquid Exfoliant, $45.

"This crowd-favourite Paula's Choice Exfoliant is my new fave thing." - Elfy Scott, Editor.

Dr. Naomi ApocaLips, $89.

"Don't want to get injectables but love the fuller lip look? Try this. It makes them look plump and juicy sans needles while hydrating them at the same time. I apply it after lip liner and gosh it looks good." - Charlotte Begg, Senior Content Producer & Weekend Editor.

YSL Libre Eau De Toilette, $108.

"I've been searching for a new perfume for ages but find knowing where to start so overwhelming. My friends recently gifted me YSL Libre for my birthday and they absolutely nailed it. It makes me feel classy and feminine without being too sweet." - Karen Alexander, Sales Manager.

Nail Me French Me, $54.95.

"Press on nails!! So much easier than going to the salon!" - Anisha Premawardhana, Creative Producer.

Esmi Skin Minerals Skin Treat Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum, $65.

"This *literally* just landed on my desk, and I tested it on the back of my hand to see how it felt - and I can already tell we're going to be mates. It's an accelerated version of their best-selling Hyaluronic Hydrating Serum, featuring a bunch of actives to target ageing skin. One of the ingredients? Watermelon extract! (Can you tell?)." - Erin Docherty, Senior Health and Beauty Writer.

Dior Hypnotic Poison, $190.

"I recently purchased this perfume and it is officially my new signature scent! I have never loved the scent of perfume so much, it lasts all day and I always get so many compliments when I wear it. The scent is described as heady, mysterious and revolutionary, and I couldn't agree more. If you're not a floral/sweet scent girlie, this is the perfect perfume for you." - Alisa Bittner, Branded Content Coordinator.
