We’re just two months into the year, and already so many incredibly exciting products have been released in the beauty space.
If you’re looking to spice up your morning routine, here are some of my favourites.
Mecca Max Off Duty Serum Liquid Blushes and Highlighters
Mecca Max kicked off the year by expanding their all-star Off Duty collection, with the launch of the Off Duty Serum Liquid Blushes and Highlighters.
With six blushes and two highlighters in the range, there’s something for every skin colour and undertone, and an ingredients list including niacinamide, squalane and hyaluronic acid only adding to the appeal.
Though I think I’ll get the most use out of the shades Peachy and Champagne, I’ve really been loving the blush shade Spice on the cheeks (with a very light hand), and the highlighter in the shade Bronze used as a liquid eyeshadow for more glam looks.
Shark FlexStyle Air Styling & Drying System in Malibu Pink
After the Malibu Pink version of the Shark FlexStyle absolutely took over in the US last year, the limited edition colourway has finally made its way to Australia, and I am completely obsessed!
The Shark FlexStyle in Malibu Pink retails for $399, $100 less than its original counterpart, however it doesn’t come with a diffuser, and is stored in a pouch rather than the solid case. If you’re someone who’s been wanting a FlexStyle for the other attachments – including the iconic auto-wrap curlers – and you love the new colour as much as I do, I would really recommend picking it up.
But, stock will be limited, so be sure to get in quick!
Sol de Janeiro Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist and DelÃcia Drench Body Butter
Sol de Janeiro has a cult-like following for a reason, with a line up of delicious smelling body butters and perfume mist that you just can’t bypass.
Earlier this year, they introduced a brand-new addition to their permanent collection, with the Cheirosa 59 Perfume Mist and complementing DelÃcia Drench Body Butter.
Though these releases didn’t come without controversy, with it still being the first thing to come up when you search ‘spider moisturiser’ on Google, the brand confirmed that though it may attract attention from people, it won’t be sending any wolf spiders your way.
If you love the smell and the formula, give it a try.
Rhode Skin Lip Case
This product isn’t available in Australia just yet, but I can’t not give a shout out to the new Rhode Skin Lip Case.
In a time when the lipstick effect is in full swing, Hailey Bieber has created a product to make it even more glamorous, in the form of a phone case designed to hold your lip gloss.
The days of carrying a wallet around are over, with everything from your ID to your credit card available at the touch of a finger, so this is a great next step!
