Ideal for long, thick and curly hair, ghd chronos™ max allows you to style large sections with speed, for up to three times straighter hair in one stroke and 90 per cent more shine. Plus, the close-edge plates mean you can now get closer to the roots when styling for perfect root-to-tip results.
Revlon Illuminance™ Glow Primer adds a dewy, radiant and luminous finish to the skin – the ultimate accompaniment to your base prep. Revlon has also launched the Illuminance™ Balm Primer, a lightweight and non-greasy texture that leaves the skin soft and smooth. Think a primer with all with the benefits of a moisturiser to hydrate the skin.
Weleda Skin Food Ultra-Light Dry Oil is a feather-light mist version of the iconic multi-purpose moisturiser, Skin Food. This fast-absorbing, non-greasy mist provides instant hydration with a bi-phase blend of vitamin-rich oils and botanical extracts. Designed for both face and body, it delivers a natural, radiant glow while nourishing the skin with organic chamomile, rosemary, calendula, and pansy.
SkinCeuticals Discoloration Defense Serum is finally available in Australia, following a change to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) regulations around tranexamic acid. After over two years of collaboration with the L'Oréal local and international scientific and regulatory teams, SkinCeuticals Australia has successfully amended the TGA Scheduling and Uniform Scheduling of Medicines and Poisons (SUSMP) guidelines, allowing tranexamic acid to be reclassified from a schedule 4 ingredient to a permitted ingredient in Australia – a significant regulatory milestone. The serum includes three per cent tranexamic acid which helps reduce the appearance of dark spots and discolouration by inhibiting the activity of melanocytes, which are responsible for producing melanin.
GLASSHOUSE FRAGRANCES Mocktail Meditation Soy Candle is part of the limited-edition Summer Refresh Collection. A refreshing fragrance of salted cucamelon (a hybrid of melon and cucumber), star fruit, and a base of musk, cedar, and amber. Fruity and zesty, without being too sweet, just like the perfect mocktail.
Sunday Riley C.E.O. Vitamin C Brighten + Tighten Body Butter combines triple-butter hydration with highly stable vitamin C and a radiance-boosting elixir of vitamins and niacinamide. The triple-butter blend of shea, murumuru and cocoa butter hydrates and repairs thirsty skin with luminous, deep moisture. Firms and brightens the skin with Sunday Riley’s signature vitamin C THD ascorbate, a powerful antioxidant in its stable form, meaning it resists oxidation and remains stable longer. In keeping with Sunday Riley’s ongoing commitment to the environment and communities, C.E.O. Vitamin C Brighten + Tighten Body Butter is vegan, cruelty-free, and manufactured according to Sunday Riley’s B Corp certified standards.
Mavala Switzerland The Yummy Collection is inspired by the delicious and playful world of doughnuts. Think perfectly applied icing in a variety of pastel colours. Every colour in the collection was carefully created to capture a spirit of delicacy, a perfect fusion of 90’s minimalism and contemporary liveliness.
Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Rapid Skin Renewing Serum leaves skin looking radiant and revitalised. In one week wrinkles and pores are visibly reduced, and skin feels firmer. Each pre-measured capsule is formulated with a precise blend dose of pure retinol plus HPR (hydroxypinacolone retinoate), a next generation retinol, moisture barrier-strengthening ceramides, skin-firming peptides, and soothing botanicals. Gentle enough for day and night time usage and first-time retinol users.
Palmer’s Tone Correcting Cream targets all major signs of ageing, and is part of the Palmer’s Skin Success Extra Strength Tone Correcting Range. The standout formula combines 10 per cent niacinamide, which brightens skin, reduces dark spots, and evens tone, with amino acids, the essential building blocks of collagen that improve firmness and elasticity. Complementing these powerhouse ingredients are retinol, vitamin C, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid, Japanese songyi mushroom, squalane, and argan oil. Together, this blend hydrates, smooths, repairs, and rejuvenates the skin, delivering a radiant, youthful glow.
