9 Products Our Editors Can’t Get Enough Of This Month: October 2022

“Think silky canvas meets youthful skin benefits, or should I just say: Tatcha’s The Silk Cream. Feeling weightless on the skin, this moisturiser utilises the benefits of silk extracts to form a moisture-binding veil that leaves behind—as the name suggests—a deeply hydrated, silky, blurred skin barrier. Also infused with the brand’s iconic Hadasei-3 complex (a trio of green tea, algae and rice), you’ll find yourself left with a glow that isn’t too dewy and bouncy, petal-soft skin. It’s this combo that makes it the perfect primer and moisturiser! Keeping your makeup locked in and ready for an endless balmy night out…and I really do mean endless.”

“A natural deodorant that actually works, the A’Kin Cedarwood And Geranium Natural Deodorant has quickly become a must-have in my beauty arsenal. Clinically tested to slow down odour causing bacteria and keep you feeling dry and fresh, the formula is also non-irritating which is perfect for my sensitive skin. Truly the first natural deodorant I’ve tried that has worked just as well as my traditional antiperspirants.”

“For the past month, I’ve replaced my conditioner with the Better Hair Days Mask by George, and it holds true to its promise of restoring and repairing the hair. It’s basically a tall drink of water for your locks! What I also love is that the Australian ingredients used in this product are things I would eat; no nasties, parabens or fake fragrances.”

“This Rationale #2 The Mask is as fun to use as it is effective. It has a rose gold, light-reflecting formula, so you look like a gilded robot after slathering it on (very Instagram-worthy!). Wait 20 minutes, wash off, and your skin is transformed to a much glowier, brighter complexion. How? It’s rich in antioxidants and helps to fight free-radicals, using vitamin C as a key ingredient. It’s particularly good for those with reactive skin types or a tendency to flush, as it calms the skin, evens out the complexion and delivers a glowing finish. A game-changer.”

“It takes a lot to move me away from my Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks, but Patrick Ta’s Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush has found a place to stay in my makeup bag. I personally love a cream blush, but sometimes it’s not so practical for those warmer days where it decides to slip off your cheekbones. The beauty of this product is that it is designed as a compact and includes a blush powder to set the creamy texture for longer lasting use. 

“My hair has been lapping up every wash with the Shu Uemura Cleansing Oil Shampoo. This product leaves my hair feeling soft, light and most importantly cleansed (but not that squeaky kind of clean). Perfect for a double wash, you’ll find the soapy foam rinses with ease.”

“Did someone say glowing skin? If, like me, you are in need of a polish and glow pep up, then the UltraCeuticals Ultra Granule-C Microfoliant is the answer. Upon application, the product starts as an exfoliating cream before it mindblowingly transforms into a heavy duty serum once you massage it in. Yes, this is some sort of wizardry in a tube. Magic!”

“I loved the opportunity to trial the Santa Maria Novella Bath Gel as it made me actually use my bath! And what a beautiful product this is–from the glass bottle packaging, the fragrance and the just right bubble factor. Would be a beautiful product as a gift or a ‘just for you’ purchase to really elevate your own bathing ritual.”

“This buttery soft Laura Mercier Petal Soft Lipstick Crayon glides on effortlessly and feels ultra-hydrating thanks to the nourishing blend of mango and raspberry seed oil. But it is also incredibly weightless to wear! Love the shade 323 Maia for a subtle touch of pink on the go!”
