So, let's roll!

OPI Repair Mode, $39.95.

"This new launch from OPI has single-handedly saved my nails. They were an absolute MESS (and what, no I didn't tear off my stick-on nails? HA HA). I used it twice a day and within one week, my nails were stronger, smoother and healthier. An actual (green) hero." - Erin Docherty, Beauty and Health Editor. 

Summer Fridays Sheer Skin Tint, $67.

"I'm an oily gal who usually wears medium coverage foundation on work days to ensure my makeup lasts all day. Although I only use a small amount, it's still heavy on the skin. I reached for this skin tint I had sitting in my cupboard recently, any guys, she's niceee. Super light with just enough tint to cover redness and blemishes and if you set her, she lasts too!" - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

Hairvenly™ Leave in Curl Cream, $39.95.

"For those who have curly hair, this product has been making my curls a lot more manageable and happy. I use this either on damp or dry hair and apply it mostly to the ends and then scrunch up towards the roots of my hair. It helps define the curls — without the crunchiness a lot of products bring." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Balancing Emulsion, $69.

"Okay, but we need to talk about this new formula from Fresh — because she is BEAUTIFUL. I've been applying it morning and night and it's made dehydrated and cranky winter face feel velvety soft, plump and hydrated. It works an absolute dream under makeup and helps soften niggling dry lines around my eyes (stops foundation or concealer from chilling around in there, too). And the scent! Ugh. What a treat." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Gro-To Sud Bud, $19.50, Bad Dream Buster, $12.50, Skin Wizard, $26.

"It’s not for me but my six-year-old son has been loving these goodies from Gro-To. The Sud Bud smells really yummy and as a kid who doesn’t love a bath, this has been very helpful. The Skin Wizard is super light and also smells divine. He puts a bit on his legs and arms then shows me how soft his skin feels. Cute. And the bad dream buster, we spritz in his bedroom before lights out. A very useful tool now we are reading Harry Potter (which includes some scary bits!). As an added bonus he loves how friendly-looking and colourful the containers are!" - Laura Jackel, Senior Family Writer.

Benefit LoveTint Cheek and Lip Tint, $38.

"I've fallen back in love with Benefit LoveTint! It's the perfect pinky-red shade and the only lip stain I'm confident will last me hours. It'll be in my back pocket all summer long." - Olivia James, Social Media Producer.

"I hate to admit it but I'm a lazy gewl with my skincare routine. Cleanser, a serum and moisturiser (SPF in the mornings too!) and I'm done. My genius friend recently launched his skincare brand, Sepia, with their first product, a retinol, which is clinically proven to work on all skin tones.

"The brand was born out of there being not enough diversity and representation in the beauty industry and retinol (the best anti-ageing ingredient) was the one they wanted to start with. The formula is light and sinks into the skin almost immediately, has no smell which I love, and includes hyaluronic acid for instant hydration while you wait for the long-term results." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

Mecca Max Off Duty Serum Skin Tint Skin Tint, $32.

Image: Supplied.

"Yes! A new skin tint from Mecca! Beautifully lightweight, this formula offers a sheer coverage combined with serum-like ingredients like niacinamide and squalane for added skin benefits. It's the perfect everyday formula for those days when you want a little bit of coverage, but nothing too hectic. A 'your skin, but better' kind of formula. Love." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Rebound Serum, $59.95.

"I'm obsessed with this serum. My skin drinks it up —  it's so perfect for the harsh winter. I got it from Priceline during their 40 per cent off sale." - Elecia Lay, Sales Manager.

Weleda Skin Food, $27.95.

"I’m late to the hype but I'm really enjoying Weleda Skin Food — it’s thick in consistency but doesn’t feel heavy on the skin and is great under makeup." - Carla Woodhouse, Senior Campaign Executive - SQUAD. 

Dr Naomi Swipe Bright, $139.

Image: Supplied

"This has been great for my dry skin, and it’s super nourishing which I love. (Also, the Barbiecore vibes of the packaging make my beauty cabinet look fun)." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

Sunday Riley UFO Ultra-Clarifying Face Oil, $64.

Image: Supplied.

"This stuff is my latest obsession. A beautiful exfoliating but also hydrating oil designed for oily, breakout-prone skin. Not only does it target (and prevent) blackheads and breakouts, but also brightens and reduces post-acne discolouration — which is great for a pimple picker (sorry) like me." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

MAC Cosmetics Cremesheen Lipstick, $37.

Image: Supplied.

"I've done it. I have finally found 'the one'. Without further ado, meet the M.A.C Cemesheen Lipstick in the shade 'Modesty'. This lippy is honestly the shade of my dreams. Not to mention it's soooo creamy, similar to a balm and leaves my lips feeling so hydrated. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a new everyday nude." Isabelle Dolphin, Weekend Editor.

Hourglass Voyeur Eyeshadow Stick, $55.

Image: Supplied

"Creamy, easy to use and offering the perfect amount of pigment (subtle, yet still there), these new Hourglass Cream Eyeshadow sticks have crept their way into my daily routine — and my eye makeup now takes literally two seconds. I just whack it on my lids, blend and go. There are a lot of recent cream eyeshadow launches, but I have to say, these are just exceptional." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
