Here you’ll find reviews of the best beauty products that launched in January 2024, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered.
Australis Lip Glaze in 'Dirty Chai', $16.95.
"Australis dropped this nourishing lip oil recently, and it's an absolute treat. It's hydrating, delightfully non-sticky and gives you a perfect hint of colour and shine. It comes in seven different colours — I'm currently loving 'Dirty Chai'." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Sol de Janeiro Delícia Drench Body Butter, $77.
"Calling all Brazilian Bum Bum Cream fans! With delicious notes of vanilla orchid, sugared violet, and sheer sandalwood, Sol de Janeiro has launched a new body butter (and perfume mist!), and yes, it smells YUM. It has a whipped creamy formula and gives your skin the most beautiful velvety finish. I want to bathe in it." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Olay Regenerist Retinol 24 Night Face Cream Moisturiser, $35.99


"This is the perfect option for those who don't want to drop of heap of money on retinol (read: all of us), but still want noticeable results (also, all of us). It offers the best of both worlds — it's gentle and comfortable on the skin (even if you're someone with sensitive skin) while still being incredibly efficacious. My skin looks more even, brighter and clearer (it's less red and blotchy). The best part? It won't break the bank." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Who is Elijah Ocean Eyes, $55.
"I’m a fan of all the Who is Elijah fragrances (EAU is a personal favourite that I’ve bought again and again). I’ve recently been wearing this one, Ocean Eyes, and it really smells like the ocean, summer and salt." - Isabella Ross., News Writer.
The Jojoba Company Australia Pure Jojoba Gel Mask, $34.95.
"I'm loving this Pure Jojoba Gel Mask — I got it in a 'Stealing' Santa at Christmas, and it was a good steal! Super hydrating, gentle and has basically no scent. It's so good for sensitive skin or if you don't like strong smelling products on your face as you try to sleep." - Rebecca Sonnex, Senior Sales Manager.
MECCA MAX Pout Pencil Lip Liner Fancy, $16.
"I bought this yesterday afternoon - it's going on it's maiden voyage today - but so far I like it. It offers a little bit of colour that doesn't feel overly bright or heavy, is creamy in texture and has lasted through the humidity on the very damp commute this morning." - Andi Baulderstone, Strategy Manager.
Dr. LeWinn's Daily Cleansing Balm, $33.
"I LOVE a good cleansing balm, and this newbie from Dr Lewinn's is excellent. It melts away makeup like a dream, and with ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, squalane and hyaluronic acid, it leaves your skin feeling balanced, hydrated and happy (not a lick of tightness)." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Maybelline Lifter Plump, $20.99.
"You guys, Maybelline just dropped a brand new plumping lip gloss range - and these are SPICY (they're *literally* made with chilli pepper!). It gives your lips a hit of colour and high shine (perfect for wearing over lip liner or lipstick) and instantly makes your lips plump and juicy. It comes in three different shades - 'Blush Blaze' is my fave." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Go-To De-Crease Eye Smoothing Serum, $55.
"In case you've been snoozin', Go-To launched its first-ever vitamin A product.! It's a retinal eye serum, that's also formulated with fantastic ingredients such as peptides and niacinamide. I've only been trialling it for a couple of weeks and my eye area already looks fresher and brighter. I'm excited to see more results — so I'll keep you posted!" - Erin Docherty Beauty & Health Editor.
Biomiq Skincare Acne Skincare Bundle, $107.98.
"As a resident oily/acne-prone girly, I'll get my hands on basically anything tailored for my skin type, just to see if it helps my EXCESSIVE oil production. (It never seems to have a day off!). I've been trying biomiq's Acne wipes in the morning and their Acne serum in my evening routine this month, and I’ve definitely had less frequent breakouts and reduced redness already (particularly on my chin). The wipes do have a bit of a 'clinical' scent, but nothing too spicy." - Shell Webb, Branded Content Manager.
Rare Beauty Warm Wishes Effortless Bronzer Stick, $45.
"I love so many cream bronzers but this one takes the cake. It's so warm on the skin, buildable with a gorgeous coverage that leaves the skin looking sun-kissed (but not orange!) and I get why everyone on the planet seems to have this in their makeup bags. I was extremely late to the trend but I'm on it now and I'm never getting off!" - Shannen Findlay, Content Porducer.
Sunset Daze Liquid Rays, $59.
"I mix these bronzing drops with my moisturiser and it’s the perfect coverage for me with a bit of my favourite concealer on top where needed. Plus, the bronzing drops are the perfect amount of glowy without too much shine." - Isabella Ross, News Writer.
Tarte Shape Tape Radiant, $51.
