My hair has been bright red, ombré, medium and light blonde… all in the past four months. Suffice to say, it is just a tad dehydrated (tad being a bigger understatement than I ate a bit of chocolate last weekend”). My hair has never been my greatest feature (that honour is clearly reserved to my elbows), and after all the colours and extensive sun damage it's been assaulted with, it could certainly use a helping hand as we enter the cooler months. Enter the OGX Quenched Sea Mineral Moisture Range; hydrating hair prodz infused with sea minerals and algae to moisturise dry, brittle hair. The smell of this range is amazing, and actually does make me think of a fresh, clean beach, preferably somewhere with a cocktail and good book in tow. Excuse me now while I look up flights… - Kelly
While Triumph & Disaster may have been designed by a male for men, I decided to embrace my inner tomboy and give it a go anyway. And boy, am I glad I did. I have no idea why men are the only ones that get to experience this little luxury. With an amazing unisex fragrance reminiscent of an ancient forest and packed full of natural goodies including jojoba, horopito, and ponga fern, this moisturiser feels super indulgent on your skin. Light and non-greasy, Gameface also contains an anti-ageing formulation that utilises clinically-proven technology to help reduce wrinkles. Sorry boys, you’ll have to fight me for this one. - Yelena
There are lots of hair oils on the market these days, but the new John Frieda Repairing Oil Elixir is different to most. With thick, normal-to-oily hair, I tend to steer clear of oils because I’m scared they will just make my hair even oilier. The great thing about this product is it’s so lightweight that it doesn’t add oil or heaviness to my locks at all – I’ve actually found that it extends time between washes. The oil makes my blow-dry look smooth and shiny like I’ve just walked out of the salon. I constantly heat-style my hair, so I love that the oil also protects my hair against breakage. – Liz
Apart from sporting fun hot pink bristles, this blush brush is soft and a very convenient size. The brush features sculpted bristles that helped define and apply blush evenly across the contour of my cheekbones, and I’m pleased to say it is now joining my make-up tools permanently! - Maddie
With long lashes that often bash against my glasses, I’m forever on a quest to find any sort of product or tool to keep my lashes in place. While it may be a simple beauty step, curling my eyelashes sadly sometimes gets forgotten. But then I tried the QVS Curl Wonder Lash Curler, and it’s safe to say it is now part of my daily make-up routine. The eyelash curler allows you to get reasonably close to the eye (without stabbing them) due to its wide-edge-free rim that helps capture more lashes. The flat edge and curved bar design allows for a natural curve, while the rubber pads provide comfort to the lash base. A gentle squeeze for a few seconds on each eye helps to achieve curl, and with a few coats of mascara, lashes look more enhanced and defined. - Nerys
