Trudon The Alabasters – Atria Iris & Amber Scented Candle

Le Labo Santal 26 Medium Concrete Candle
This scent holds a special place in my heart, so when I received the coolest-looking candle, I decided to light it up immediately. It does not only smell very bougie around the house but also the concrete vessel is also ideal for repurposing after use.
$115 – 113.5g
Ella Bache Tomato Radiance Cream
This is the thickest moisturiser I have ever come across, and it’s perfect for winter. Its hero ingredient is tomato extract, a brightening and rebalancing super star that helps to calm sensitised skin, reduce texture and redness, and heal irritation.
$94.00 – 50ml
Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum
I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve mentioned Emma Lewisham Skin Reset Serum in my reviews and favourites and, of course, recommended it to friends. It’s a staple in my beauty cabinet, and I won’t stop using it. Perfect for daily use, it helps with hyperpigmentation as well as maintaining my acne under control. Plus, the ingredients are clean, and the packaging is reusable.
$150 – 30mls
Mecca Cosmetica Restoring Retinol Serum
Last year I learned that using a lower concentration of retinol every day is more effective than applying something stronger a few times a week. The 0.25% micronised and microencapsulated retinol in this serum has done wonders for my skin’s texture and radiance.
$70.00 – 30ml
MCo Beauty Oil Free Moisturiser
Sweating my makeup off each summer is a thing of the past, thanks to this super light cream. It contains niacinamide to help control oil flow and peach extract to brighten the skin.

A cream with nearly a decade of research behind it, SkinCeuticals A.G.E. Interrupter Advanced is in an anti-ageing league of its own. By targeting the compounds responsible for collagen and elastin depletion, this cream is able to reduce wrinkles, fine lines and creasing, as well as help prevent their future development.
$280.00 – 48ml
Skinsitut L-Lactic Cleanser
A gentle cleanser that promotes decongestion and cell turnover while improving the skin’s strength. Since switching to the L-Lactic Cleanser, my usually very reactive skin has calmed and is clearer than ever.

The Jojoba Company Ultimate Serum
One of my favourite discoveries this year has been The Jojoba Company, a skincare brand made and owned by Australian Jojoba Farmers in Yenda, NSW. Really living up to its name, The Ultimate Serum leaves the skin plumper, firmer, brighter and more hydrated.
$69.95 – 30ml
QED Skincare Ultra Sensitive Eye Balm

$68.00 – 15g
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat Liner – Super Size Me
A lip liner I simply can’t live without, Super Size Me is a neutral nude with a touch of pinky mauve. I love blurring it with a little bit of lip balm for the perfect no-makeup-makeup pout.
$38.00 – 10g
Ciaté London Dewy Gloss Tinted Lip Jelly
It’s a big claim, but I really think this gloss might be my favourite of all time. These non-sticky lip jellies are available in four flattering shades that leave an incredible glassy finish. The nourishing formula also keeps lips smooth and hydrated on even the driest of days.
$33.00
Espressoh Mascara Intenso Moka
A deliciously rich brown mascara that adds drama and definition to the eyes without the high contrast of a black mascara. Mascara Intenso also thickens, lengthens and curls the lashes to perfection with its blend of nourishing waxes and coffee seed oil.
$38.00
Kiss Falscara Eyelash Starter Kit – Lengthening
These are hands down the easiest to apply lashes I’ve ever used, and fortunately, they also look amazing. The glue goes on like a mascara, and the light weight clusters stick to the underside of the lash line for a truly seamless finish.
$24.99
Nyx The Brow Glue Instant Brow Styler – Transparent
A flake-resistant brow gel that never seems to get gluggy or opaque and is strong enough to keep my downward-facing brows lifted all day.
$14.99 – 5g
Nars Powermatte Lipstick in Shade Sweet Disposition
I’ve been using this matte lipstick non-stop during the holiday season as it does not transfer easily while you eat or drink but is not as long-lasting as matte liquid lipsticks. It feels very comfortable to wear and the shade is perfect to wear day to night.
$55.00
Revlon Illuminance Skin-Caring Foundation
A buildable skincare-makeup hybrid with a satiny, natural finish. Revlon’s Illuminance Skin Caring Foundation is perfect for those who want to care for their skin while still rocking a full face of makeup.

Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow Foundation
I have never received as many compliments on my skin as I do when I wear this foundation. it’s a serum infused, medium coverage fluid that is so light, the skin appears dewy, hydrated and makeup free while also minimising the appearance of redness, texture and discolouration.
$83.00
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
I’m obsessed with multipurpose beauty products, and this blush is a perfect all-in-one. The shade Bliss matches perfectly with my olive undertone, and I’ve been using it non stop all summer long. It looks great on the skin, stays on for a long time, and can be used as an eyeshadow or mixed with a lip gloss.
$41.00
Amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo
A volumising, texturising dry shampoo that reduces oil and odour like no other. Its talc free formula is lightweight and doesn’t leave behind build up or that tell tale white, powdery look.
$47.00 – 234ml
Belinda Jeffrey Colour Care Shampoo
Belinda Jeffrey launched her own haircare line last year when I was introduced to the range. Typically, I don’t love any particular shampoo as I find it hard to see if they make any difference to my hair. However, this shampoo excels in every aspect. The scent throughout the entire range is crafted by Byredo so you can imagine the sensorial experience you feel when you apply this shampoo. Plus it leaves my hair exceptionally soft and shiny.
$50.00
Auriche Repair – Bond Building Serum With Heat & UV Protection
I recently learned that the active ingredient in fake tan can cause just as much hair damage as bleach. Auriche’s Repair Serum is made from a potent blend of Australian botanicals and is clinically proven to protect hair from the cracking, breakage and discolouration that fake tan can cause.
$75.00 – 65ml
Christophe Robin Sea Salt Cleansing Purifying Scrub
How great is the feeling of a good hair scrub? This one from Christophe Robin is my favourite by far. It’s a bit pricey, but a little goes a long way, so the tub last for long. I love it because It really gets the gunk out of my hair without leaving the scalp or hair feeling dry. Plus, the way it emulsifies into a rich lather while refreshing the scalp is supreme.
$71.00 – 250ml
Cloud9 2-In-1 Contouring Iron Pro
A straightening iron with a difference – the Contouring Iron Pro has protective tourmaline curved plates that make creating beachy waves and voluminous curls just as easy as straightening.
