Amazon's mammoth Prime Day sales may be underway, but we're also keeping a close eye on the latest beauty launches landing on Aussie shores. As winter settles in, we're on the hunt for the products worth adding to our routines — from luxurious creams and hardworking undereye patches to moisture-boosting lip balms that revive dry, lacklustre skin. With more time spent indoors, we're also leaning on multi-tasking hair tools to speed up our morning routines and lighting heavenly candles to make cosy nights at home feel even more indulgent.
Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base+
I suffer from year-round dryness (and dehydration), so regardless of the season, I'm generously lathering on thick moisturisers day and night. The latest addition to my line-up is Bobbi Brown's new and improved Vitamin Enriched Face Base+ formula, bursting with five different vitamins. It absorbs easily on application, giving skin an almost immediate plumpness. I've even been using it as a primer, applying it before makeup. Priced at $110 at Adore Beauty, this multitasking cream is a winter essential.
Glasshouse Dusk At The Kasbah Scented Candle
There's no better feeling than lighting a candle and settling down for the evening, especially during winter. I'm always on the hunt for newly launched scents, so I was thrilled to hear that Glasshouse has just dropped a brand-new collection. My top pick? Dusk At The Kasbah, a saffron and honey-based scent that is warm and rich — perfect for burning for hours at a time. Available for $64.95 at Sephora, this 380g candle is designed to create a cosy atmosphere.
Summer Fridays Sweet Summer Minis
While we may not be in Europe basking in the sun, that doesn't mean we can't have sweet, supple lips. If you're a fan of Summer Fridays' viral Lip Butter Balms (who isn't?), then you'll be thrilled to hear the brand has just dropped three mini versions that smell just like summer. Berry Sorbet, Peach Granita and Salted Caramel are up for grabs, each adding a gentle touch of colour and plenty of hydration to the lips. The set costs $33 at MECCA.
Shark SilkiPro Straight
Hair is often the part that takes the longest in the morning, but Shark Beauty just dropped a new gadget that can take strands from wet to straight in a matter of minutes. The Shark SilkiPro Straight, $399, promises ultra-fast drying and long-lasting sleek styles, using just one powerful tool. So you can ditch your dryer and straightener altogether, because this all-in-one gadget is offering you the best of both worlds. The 'must-have' tool comes with one SilkiPro attachment and three different combs.
Naked Sundays CabanaMilk Mineral Priming Barrier Fluid SPF50
Lightweight, milk-like formulas are all the rage, mostly because they do such a great job of hydrating the complexion, and there's a new SPF-infused bottle on the block. Naked Sundays just dropped CabanaMilk, a barrier-strengthening formula that delivers a dewy glow, plus SPF50+. Created by former Sunrise reporter Samantha Brett, it's already proving to be a fast seller since its launch. Priced at $45, it's available at Naked Sundays. Always read the label and follow directions for use.
Grown Alchemist Hydra-Restore Eye Patches
If there's one thing that becomes more prominent during the winter months, it's our undereyes. It's the first place signs of dehydration and tiredness start to show, so it's no surprise that undereye patches are one of the most sought-after additions to a self-care routine. Grown Alchemist has just dropped new undereye patches, featuring a targeted blend of active ingredients that soothe, protect and boost hydration when we need it most. They retail for $35 at Myer.
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Mousse
For those who prefer a matte lip over a satin finish or gloss, Huda Beauty has just dropped eight nude shades in its new Liquid Matte Mousse. The texture is whipped and airy, making it easy and user-friendly to apply. The results? A soft-blurred effect that looks even better and more defined when paired with the Lip Contour 2.0 Matte Pencil. Available for $43 at Sephora, this new formula is perfect for winter.
