Yes, friends. We're here again – that glorious time of the month. Beauty round-up time! And boy, oh boy — we're just ITCHING to share some of our favourite MVPs.
Because in July, theMamamiateam have been been trying a whole heap of new (and new to us) skincare, makeup, hair and body products — and we reckon you should know about them.
But before we get into it, listen to the latest episode of Mamamia's daily beauty podcast, You Beauty. Post continues after audio.
Here you’ll find reviews of the best beauty products that launched in July 2023, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered.
So, let's get to it!
Rare Beauty All Of The Above Weightless Eyeshadow Stick, $39.
"Okay, but are we aware that Rare Beauty just released a whole range of creamy eyeshadow sticks and that they're very, very good? Just watch — they're about to become the next cult product. I'm calling it. They'reeverything –and right up my alley. So quick. Easy to use. No-fuss. And the colours are gorgeous." – Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Benefit Cosmetics Brow Enhancing Serum, $105.
"For reasons unknown, I have brow hairs that have the texture of hay. They're thick, wire-y and always need a trim. Big John Howard vibes. But, I've started using this brand-new product from Benefit Cosmetics, and it's made them feel soft, healthy and obedient. Keen to see how this goes with more frequent use!" – Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Clinique Even Better Glow, $56.
"I had a Sephora voucher to use and got this Clinique even better glow. Holy hell, I love it. It’s such a good consistency and good coverage (not too heavy, but also not too light), the feel on the skin is great and it lasts well throughout the day." – Isabella Ross, News Writer.
NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in 'Dolce Vita', $45.
"I was at the airport last week and wanted to buy something nice for myself so I dropped in at Mecca and bought the most delicious lipstick – NARS Afterglow Lip Balm in shade 'Dolce Vita'. It’s the perfect “my lips but better” shade and I can’t wait to wear it non-stop!" – Leah Porges, Audio Producer.
Elizabeth Arden Prevage Prevage Anti-Aging Daily Serum, $220.
"She's spendy AF, but gosh she's beautiful. Bursting with powerful antioxidants (like vitamin C and E), this daily serum feels like a silky smooth dream on the skin (it's rich, but confusingly lightweight), and works to brighten, even and protect the skin from visible signs of ageing. My skin feels (and looks) healthier, balanced and more radiant." – Erin Docherty, Beauty and Health Editor.
Kosas Brow Pop Dual-Action Defining Pencil Dark Brown, $38.
"This Kosas brow pencil! OMG. It changed the game for my morning routine. The girls look like sisters, not distant relatives,100 per cent of the time. It's a fool-proof product that performs every single time." – Kee Reece, Content Manager, Commercial & Podcast Host.
Dashing Diva Magic Press Nails in Pink Cream, $14.99.
"I have been on a MASSIVE press-on kick lately! I discovered this brand in Korea and have been obsessed!! They stay on for two to three weeks easily with proper nail prep and come in soooo many cute colours and designs that they update every couple of weeks. One of my faves to come out of my #recessioncore era." – Jaslyn Berg, Brand Partnerships Executive.
Covergirl Simply Ageless Instant Wrinkle Defying Foundation, $26.95.
"Very niche, but hunting for a new everyday foundation is one of my favourite things to do. And lordy, this new formula from Covergirl x Olay has me in a HOLD. I love it! Beautifully hydrating and creamy, it contains a big old swirl of moisturiser throughout the formula (a hyaluronic acid and vitamin C complex) and is just so delightful on the face."
"It blurs, but doesn't sit in creases. Evens, without feeling too 'heavy'. A great everyday pick that's also nice and affordable — you can pick it up from Chemist Warehouse for like $15." – Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
Mecca Max Fluttering Falsies Full Flutter, $12.
"As someone who has never been able to apply false lashes, the discovery of these half lashes/angel wings from Mecca has been groundbreaking for me. Much easier to apply and no cutting required!" – Tegan Sadler, Audio Producer.
Skinstitut 1% Hyaluronic Complex Serum, $64.
"I’ve been looking for a solid hyaluronic serum, and a lot have made my skin feel pretty tight afterwards which I don’t love. This one from Skintitut has been super good on my skin and I’m really enjoying it — plus, makeup goes on top really well if using during the day." – Isabella Ross, News Writer.
Kosas Air Brow Fluff & Hold Treatment Gel, $38.
"This Kosas (great brand) brow product in 'Chocolate Brown' is amazing. From Mecca, nice wand and consistency." – Casey Guth, Sales Manager.
