8 Products Our Editors Can’t Get Enough Of This Month: January 2024

​​What we’re loving, coveting and “borrowing” from the Gritty Pretty beauty cupboard this month.

“With brows as crazy as mine, I am always looking for a gel that will keep them in place all day long (without looking too shiny or slick). Enter: Glossier’s BoyBrow. With the famed American brand now shipping to Australia, I was so excited to put this product to the test—and I have only good things to say. Lightweight, malleable but with a strong enough hold to last all day, this brow gel is my new go-to and I won’t be without it.”

Junior Designer

“The Vida Glow Anti-G-Ox supplement powder has been a welcomed guest in my daily routine for the past few weeks. This super powder not only defends my skin against premature ageing, it also supports healthy blood sugar levels. Our skin faces so many stressors each day so I love knowing that I am boosting its resilience. I opted for the citrus flavour, it tastes like summer in a cup!”

“The MECCA MAX Off Duty Liquid Blush is sun kissed skin in a tube. The formula is highly pigmented and adds the perfect amount of radiance with an ever so slight shimmer. A little goes a long way and it even doubles as the perfect tint for the lids too. Dab a little on the apple of your cheeks and over the nose for that sunkissed rosy glow.” 

Danielle Gay

Editor

“The Ikkari Illuminating Serum is the lightest serum I’ve ever used. It’s so lightweight that it’s hard to believe it’s packed full of ingredients like Kakadu plum, prickly pear, pineapple and licorice root. It works hard to protect the skin against all aggressors but at the surface level, it simply gives the best immediate glow that instantly improves my skin.”

Tanika Rouillon

Producer

“I am a minimalist through and through, especially with my makeup so a two-in-one is a big yes from me. CHANEL’s Lip and Cheek Balm is hydrating and supple, it glides on the skin for a warm glow. I have been using the 7 Vibrant Coral on my cheeks, lips and on my nose for that Hailey Bieber strawberry kiss look this summer.”

Rebecca Reilly

Partnerships Manager

“Jurlique’s special edition Rose Body Oil is exactly what my skin needed this summer. You don’t need to be shy with this body oil as it’s super lightweight and fast absorbing. Add it to your night routine for some indulgence, the rose notes as you drift off to sleep, and then in the morning your skin has a natural glow—absolute perfection!”

Nicola Sevitt

Head of Creative Production

“In my quest for hair perfection, Wella’s Ultimate Repair Leave-In is the unexpected hero. It’s like a hair spa in a bottle, effortlessly rescuing my strands from the daily chaos. It works wonders on my hair, reviving and nourishing like magic. With a nod from hair maestro Keiren Street, it’s become my go-to shield against styling damage. Simple, effective, and now a staple in my routine—my hair’s happy, and so am I.”

“Having worked in beauty for over 15 years, sometimes beauty products get snapped up by loved ones. In my home, Naked Sundays is an Aussie sunscreen brand that is well used and well loved. This mineral stick SPF 50+ is perfect for touch ups or application on the go as it doesn’t leave a white cast but fits compactly into your handbag (or surfboard bag, if you’re my husband).”
