OPI Fiji Collection - Infinite Shine – Zoe
What it is: OPI Fiji Collection is a nail polish collection inspired by Fiji. It contains 12 shades, ranging from rich ocean blues and pops of flora and fauna-inspired hues to sandy-toned neutrals.
My experience: The infinite shine polishes ended up being a super beautiful hybrid-like gel polish that doesn’t require UV light to set. I didn’t need more than two coats, and the wider-than-normal brush made application easy.

philosophy renewed hope in a jar and Renewed Hope in a Jar Overnight Recharging & Refining Moisturiser – Steph
What it is: renewed hope in a jar is a day cream, formulated with three sources of hydration to deeply moisturise skin while boosting skin energy and enhancing healthy-looking colour. Renewed Hope In a Jar Overnight Recharging & Refining Moisturiser works as you sleep to improve cell renewal, repair skin and improve the ability to fight dehydration and dullness.
My experience: This powerful duo work so well together to deeply nourish and hydrate my tired skin while keeping it looking healthy and radiant. The best part is they are so silky and smooth to apply and absorb quickly, perfect for those mornings when you hit the snooze button a few times too many!
Eye of Horus Bio Lash Lift Mascara – Tash
What it is: A 100 per cent vegan and 98 per cent organic mascara that is designed to add length, volume and nourishment to lashes.
My experience: The unique double-sided comb allows me to get the root of my lashes and with one wiggle and sweep this mascara delivers smooth, lengthened and defined lashes. Formulated with key botanicals, marine algae and Oarweed (known for its hair strengthening and growth promotion properties) I can treat my eyes in the morning rather than put them through a tortuous ritual.
Umberto Giannini Blow-Dry in a Bottle – A big Shiny Blow Out – Sam
What it is: A volumising and texturising spray that gives you a professional, salon blow dry look at-home.
My experience: This product is exactly as it claims, a ‘blow dry in a bottle’! Sprayed on wet hair it doesn’t leave any heavy or oily residue, like some sprays do and after blow drying, my hair was noticeably shinier and more volumized throughout!
BIODERMA Sensibio H2O – Aja
What it is: A micellar solution that cleanses away impurities, all without affecting your skin's natural balance.
My experience: It's a cult classic for good reason – this micellar water is gentle on sensitive skin, fragrance-free and removes all the unwanted dirt and grime that has built up over the day, plus it removes makeup like a dream!
Saya Skincare Toning Mist – Caitlin
What it is: A certified organic toning mist enriched with Australian botanical extracts to revitalise the skin and boost radiance.
My experience: Best applied straight after cleansing, this toning mist will instantly refresh and hydrate the skin, and allow for the better absorption of your moisturiser. It does not sting or leave the skin feeling tight and dry, like some other mists I’ve tried. Probably because it’s packed full of natural ingredients and contains no nasties.
Natio For Men SPF 30+ Face Moisturiser – Andrew
What it is: Natio For Men SPF 30+ Face Moisturiser is an advanced, non-greasy lotion that offers broad spectrum protection and helps to simultaneously avoid sunburn and premature lines while being suitable for all skin types.
My experience: I usually don’t use any kind of cream or lotion on my face, instead I normally prefer to maintain a tired, haggard and naturally decrepit look at all times. After trying Natio for Men Face Moisturiser, however, I am now a full convert and a fervent believer in the necessity of men’s facial products. I’ve been using this product for a week now, and my skin feels so much smoother, softer and more baby-butt like than ever!
L’unico Laboratory High Potency 30% Vitamin C Serum – Georgie
What it is: This wonder serum contains a highly stable form of Vitamin C, ascorbyl tetraisopalmitate, or, more specifically, the tetraester of ascorbic acid and isopalmitic acid. This works as a powerful antioxidant and is a potent oil-soluble form of Vitamin C ester.
My experience: I’ve been using this product after cleansing in the morning and it’s been really effective in brightening my skin before the day ahead. It absorbs super quickly and the little tingling sensation provides reassurance that something great is at work! The price tag is hefty so consumers should perhaps try and get hold of a tester to make sure it’s suitable for their skin before splashing the cash."
MOR Marshmallow Hand and Nail Cream – Vanessa
What it is: A hand and nail cream packed with a blend of moisturising ingredients like sweet almond, vitamins A & E, shea butter and sesame seed oil.
My experience: This sweet-scented and luxe hand cream keeps my hands really smooth and hydrated thanks to its top-notch ingredients. This little tube will be become a permanent addition to my handbag through the colder months!
