MOOV Head Lice Solution – Aja's pick
With a toddler now in daycare, the at-home arsenal of products we need to keep on hand has greatly expanded. And one of the products I won't be without is MOOV Head Lice Solution. I prefer the MOOV treatment as it is formulated with a powerful blend of essential oils rather than synthetic insecticides. Bonus points that it only takes 10 minutes to treat! I've had family also use the MOOV Head Lice range, and we've all agreed that MOOV make the removal of head lice so quick and effortless, which is all you can ask for when it comes to this not-so-fun task for you and your little ones. Always read the label and use only as directed. If symptoms persist see your healthcare professional.

Maybelline New York FITme Concealer – Scarlett's pick
The Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is my ride-or-die makeup staple – I just keep coming back to it. It blends effortlessly and gives just the right amount of coverage to hide blemishes, redness, and dark circles without looking cakey. The formula is breathable and doesn’t settle into fine lines, which is a huge plus for me. I also love the wand applicator – it makes applying the concealer super easy and precise. The finish is smooth and slightly dewy, leaving my skin looking fresh and natural. It’s also buildable, so I can layer it for extra coverage without it feeling heavy. This concealer has been around for years and understandably so, for its affordable price point and a formular that works just as well as some high-end brands.

Manicare Make-Up Removal Towel – Sarah's pick
For a while now I have been searching for a more sustainable way to remove my makeup – enter the Manicare Make-Up Removal Towel. Warm water and a soft towel have proven to be the most effective (and environmentally friendly), way to cut through makeup and prepare my skin for cleansing and exfoliating. It takes off even the most stubborn, waterproof eye makeup without irritating your skin. The towel is reusable and can be thrown in the wash to restore it for its next use. It’s just one of those small, simple things that make your routine feel a little more effortless.

Lady Jayne Paddle Scalp Brush – Rachel's pick
A good hairbrush is essential in every arsenal – I truly believe it can make a difference between having a good hair day vs bad hair day. The Lady Jayne Paddle Scalp Brush is my go-to! I love that it’s made from 100% maple wood making it sturdy, yet lightweight and comfortable to grip. The firm, wide-spaced wooden pins gently tackle every knot, tangle and inevitable nest of hair I wake up to in the mornings in quick succession, with the bonus of feeling like a relaxing head massage at the same time. I also love knowing that the natural wooden pins work to promote blood circulation to my scalp plus absorbs and redistributes oils from scalp to ends. My hair always looks it’s best after I brush it out with the Lady Jayne Paddle Scalp Brush – the results are frizz-free, smooth and shiny strands each time.

John Frieda Frizz Ease® Extra Strength Serum – Issy's pick
This product has quickly become a must-have in my hair care routine. Being a frizzy haired gal is one thing, but having baby hairs is another! I apply every few days to help keep this mane in check. The serum helps fight humidity and eliminates frizz, while at the same time providing glossy locks. Secondly, this is a 2-in-1 product. It can be used to protect against heat. I’ve been using it before styling with heat tools, and I feel more confident that my hair is shielded from potential damage. This product has become a staple and is a great size that you can chuck in your bag and have on the go if you ever need some TLC.

Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Body Lotion – Leila's pick
People often forget that skincare isn't limited to our faces. The Palmer's range has been a staple in my body care routine for years now. The Cocoa Butter Formula Firming Body Lotion is my personal favourite and has been repurchased multiple times. It’s formulated with vitamin E, elastin, and Q10 which helps tackle skin elasticity and locks in moisture. I especially love applying right after the shower, so my skin feels hydrated for the day ahead, plus the scent is divine. For extra silkiness and fragrance layering, I love pairing this moisturiser with the Palmer's Moisturisng Body Oil.
