Formerly known as Raaie, this New Zealand-born skincare brand focuses on Circadian Skin Science. This new sleep mask was created to work with the skin’s natural 24-hour circadian rhythm, delivering better results by applying the right ingredients at the right time. An overnight sleep mask designed to rejuvenate and repair throughout the night, with ingredients such as mandelic acid to slowly and gently exfoliate, a blend of New Zealand algae, mānuka honey, peptides, and niacinamide riboside (NAD+ precursor). It’s creamy, whipped texture sinks in seamlessly and feels hydrating enough to replace my regular night cream - its pretty blue tint comes from fermented chamomile. It’s as luxurious on the skin as it looks in its elegant tub.
Fans of the Japanese-inspired glow-boosting formulas will find it hard to resist this new lip balm. Delivering a pillowy-soft pink tint, the peptide and vitamin-rich formula bathes your lips in a sheer wash of colour. Plumping with a high-shine finish, there are four shades pictured here: Pinku, a neutral pink for everyday.
Floris London Cefiro EDT,10ml, $60, 100ml, $380
This unisex fragrance is the perfect remedy for our chilly weather right now. It features a refreshing citrus burst from a blend of lemon, lime, bergamot, and mandarin, complemented by the warmth of spicy cardamom and nutmeg. Yet, it remains soft and lingering, enriched with the heady floral note of jasmine. This fragrance evokes the scent of clean laundry, with an undertone of musky, woodsy joy.
Endota Clove & Mint Recovery Balm, from $23
With a cult status as a natural recovery remedy for post-workout aches and pains, this balm is packed with essential oils to soothe and uplift the senses. Simply massage into tight spots and overworked muscles, and the blend of peppermint, cajuput, clove, and camphor is a treat for your body and your senses. It’s become my go-to post-Pilates recovery rub.
This is a great multi-benefit beauty buy, thanks to the dual-ended cream-and-liquid shadow stick. It offers high-pigment shimmer or a sheer shimmer for lids, which you can blend with your fingers or a brush. For daytime wear, use the creamy liner close to the lash line; for evening, add the shimmer cream shadow for added drama. It’s long-lasting and comes in three shades. Pictured here: Stealthy Wealthy, a universally flattering bronze-and-golden chocolate.
If you like DIY polish, then this new brand reduces the need for multiple steps in your nail routine. This polish is the base coat, treatment, colour, and top coat in one bottle without sacrificing the function of each. How? It’s the clever multi-copolymer system designed to have a strong, gel-like finish. That system, plus a plasticiser, helps with flexibility and strength and prevents chipping. There are 13 shades pictured here, including a pretty pink named Miley.
