The beauty of, well, beauty products is that they only demand a short-term commitment. No matter the product—be it a shampoo, serum, eye cream or foundation—eventually, it will run out. The plus side? It’s the perfect opportunity to try something new.
What’s that saying? There’s really no time like the present… or something like that. Surely, we can’t be the only ones who feel like a brand new person after spritzing on a new scent or applying a swipe of lipstick?
Welcome to What’s New Now—our monthly round-up of the latest and greatest products to hit the shelves. Whether you’re searching for a few hints to drop, a gift for your best girlfriend or just want to try something that you haven’t before, you will find everything you need right here.
SKIN
Skin Physics Ultimate Balance & Youth Recovery Set
There’s been a lot of talk recently about how important it is to care for and nurture our skin microbiome. There can be no healthy skin without a healthy skin barrier, it turns out! Enter: Skin Physics’s Ultimate Balance & Youth Recovery set. A four-piece skincare collection containing a cleansing oil, moisturising gel, serum and repair cream, these products are formulated with prebiotics and probiotics to improve skin quality and reduce dryness, breakouts and inflammation.
McoBeauty Mineral Mattifying Sunscreen
Sunscreen application doesn’t stop just because the temperature drops to below 20 degrees. So, stock up your SPF levels after the summer months with McoBeauty’s new Mineral Mattifying Sunscreen. Perfect for those with oily skin, the formula provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB 50+ protection and also contains kakadu plum to provide protection against other environmental aggressors.
HAIR
Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Overnight Protector
Sick of waking up after a restful nights sleep only to realise that your blowdry is completely ruined? With Living Proof’s Perfect Hair Day Overnight Protector, you need not worry. Designed to enhance shine, vibrancy and manageability overnight, the results are said to last all week. Genius!
Nine Yards Just Right Moist Shampoo & Conditioner
Bring your hair back from the brink with the Nine Yards Just Right Moist Shampoo & Conditioner. A vegan hair duo formulated with shea butter, broccoli oil, jasmine flower, green tea and aloe vera to deeply nourish and repair your hair, we highly recommend getting your hands on these products before they fly off the shelves.
MAKEUP
Hermes Plein Air Complexion Balm
It doesn’t get much more luxurious than an Hermes skin tint now does it? The brand new Plein Air Complexion Balm is a makeup game changer, promising to elevate your natural skin with a weightless veil of sheer colour and a radiant natural finish. With hyaluronic acid for lasting hydration and SPF 30 making it perfect for the Australian climate, you can’t really go wrong.
CHANEL Rouge Coco Baume
Continuing on the theme of barely there makeup, the CHANEL Rouge Coco Baume is on the fast track to becoming a handbag essential. A hydrating tinted lip balm that offers buildable colour while still caring for the lips, the formula is ideal for perfecting your pout. With a luminous finish (without any stickiness), it suits every occasion.

LIFESTYLE
Cloud Nine Face & Body Sculpting Device
If your a beauty tech junkie like we are then Cloud Nine’s new Face & Body Sculpting Device is the perfect way to treat yourself in the month of April. Inspired by the gua sha (but with a modern edge), the device combines heat therapies and ultrasonic vibrations to increase the penetration and absorption of skincare, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, collagen production and circulation.
FloraBiome Calm Elixir
We could all do with a little more calm in our lives. So, why not give FloraBiome’s new Calm Elixir a whirl? Packed full of antioxidant-rich goji berries and stress modulating ashwagandha, rhodiola, passionflower and lemon balm, the formula works to restore hormonal balance by replacing the common ‘fight or flight’ response with a balanced ‘rest and digest’ response. We see zen on our horizon.
FRAGRANCE
Hermetica Lavincense Dry Waters EDP
A dreamy lavender fragrance to add to your collection, the new Hermetica Lavincense Dry Waters EDP combines the exquisite qualities of lavender and lavandin oils with woody sage to create a scent that is mysterious and sophisticated. Perfect for your next date night or evening event, this moody fragrance will have nostrils buzzing.
