Mamamia's beauty roundup series is your monthly look at the products our team is loving — from the latest launches in skincare, hair and makeup to the new-to-us favourites we've fallen for.
Between what we call the 'silly season' of new product launches (August, September and October are among the busiest for brands!) and the impending Black Friday sale madness, our faces have been busy with product testing this month.
Watch: Is this the best skincare product of the year? Post continues below.
From the perfect summer body lotion to the Korean skincare that has us in a chokehold, you'll find our new (or new-to-us) products from the month that was below.
Let's get stuck in, starting with recommendations from me, Mamamia's Lifestyle Editor!
Revlon Colorstay Full Time™ Mascara, $26.
Obsessed with this mascara wand. Image: Supplied.
I'm fussy about mascaras; in a perfect world, I'd never wear one because my lashes would be tinted and lifted.
But that probably only happens about twice a year, so this mascara is the next best thing. It's a 'your lashes, but better' mascara that separates, defines and lengthens. If you want dramatic volume, this won't give it to you. Everyone else, enjoy!
Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter, $38.
GET ON MY BODY. Image: Supplied.
I'm not going to say this body butter is an aphrodisiac… but I think this body butter is legit an aphrodisiac.
I don't know what they've put in this delightful and very generously-sized tub, but it smells like heaven and makes your skin feel nourished and touchably soft. It's not heavy like a lot of body butters; I like to apply it to damp skin straight out of my evening shower.
Alpha-H Daily Dose Multivitamin Glow Body Serum, $34.95.
Summer skin in a tube. Image: Supplied.
If you're too lazy/prefer not to use self tan, this limited-edition illuminating glow body serum is delicious.
