The Mamamia team have tried and tested a whole heap of skincare, makeup, hair and body products — and in the process, discovered some serious gems that've shuffled their cute way into our daily routines because they're Just. That. Good. 

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 November 2023, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered.

Rose Inc Softlight Skin-Smoothing Liquid Foundation, $54

"I love everything Rose Inc comes out with, so I was very excited when this slid across my desk. While my skin rarely gets along with matte formulas, this one sits beautifully on the skin and isn't the slightest bit drying. It offers medium coverage (it's actually runnier than I expected — and a little goes a long way!) and it blurs redness and spots like a champ. Looks like I've found my new party season foundation!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor. 

The 7 Virtues Cherry Ambition EDP, $139.

"In the short amount of time I've been wearing this perfume, I've been complimented SO MANY TIMES. It's rich, warm and sexy, and possibly a dupe for a Tom Ford favourite... I'm obsessed." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

Mermade Mini USB-C Curl Tong, $69 and Mermade USB-C Roller Duo, $39.

"Mermade Hair recently launched USB hair tools (including USB hair rollers - coming soon!) and they're made for me. I leave them in the car so I can easily touch-up my hair when I'm running in-between work and events and it's so ridiculously easy. Whether you're a girl with a disobedient fringe, or your hair falls flat in no time — these are honestly the best. Why wasn't this a thing sooner?!" - Erin Docherty Beauty & Health Editor.

Mecca Max Off Duty Serum Skin Tint, $32.

"I had a gift voucher for Mecca that needed spending, so I grabbed the Mecca Max Off Duty Serum Skin Tint. And I love it. It's super light and sheer, so it's my new no-makeup-makeup go-to. Very dewy and glowy (just how I like my bases), 10 out of 10." - Alix Nicholson, Weekend Editor.

Biossance Squalene + Antioxidant Cleansing Oil, $57.

"I've been loving this cleansing oil from Biossance! I just recently switched up brands (I was using the Shiseido one before) to try something new and have been pleasantly surprised. Has a lovely texture and easily removes makeup and build up for a lovely clean feel that doesn't leave my skin tight or dry." - Lisa Hamilton, Mamamia Writer. 

Isle of Paradise Confidently Clear Body Cleanser, $35.

"I have been dealing with breakouts on my body, which in my opinion are so much harder to get rid of. This Isle of Paradise Body Cleanser is great if you want smooth skin. I've been finding that my skin feels softer and breakouts have calmed down. I'm about halfway through the bottle after a month of use and I am OBSESSED." - Shannen Findlay, Content Producer.

Thayers Facial Mist Witch Hazel, $16.95.

"I haven't used witch hazel since I was a teen but the chemist skin care recco guy on insta recommended Thayers and it is glorious! Everything feels so much nicer going on my face after I spray this first." - Claire Murphy, host of The Quicky.

Tbh Acne Hack Spot Treatment, $15.

"My skin's been... angry the last two months, verging on pre-teen acne vibes at the ripe old age of 29. I was going to push through with my existing routine hoping it passed but then I saw the entire tbh skincare range at Coles (for half price!) and I thought 'let's give it a go'. It's been two weeks and I've seen such an improvement already!" - Gia Moylan, Executive Podcast Producer.

Pure Fiji Hydrating Body Lotion, $44.95, and Nourishing Exotic Oil, $44.95.

Image: Supplied

"This duo might just be my favourite body care combination ever. I mix the cream with the oil post-shower and it makes my body feel like a baby's bottom. The coconut scent is the perfect amount of sweet, not overpowering or imposing on my perfume, and transports me right back to Fiji." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

Rare Beauty Positive Light Under Eye Brightener, $42.

"I usually love full coverage but when I went on a trip recently, I found I'd accidentally only packed these under eye brighteners by Rare Beauty in the shade 'Light' and 'Medium Deep' (which I used as both a concealer under the eyes and a cream bronzer on the cheeks). I get why these are cult favourites. The product didn't look dark or dry on top of my dark circles. It gave really beautiful and buildable coverage. If I wanted something heavier, I applied the brightener on top of my foundation. It looked beautiful every time and now I have been using it EVERY single time I put on makeup." - Shannen Findlay, Content Producer. 

Flower Beauty Light Illusion Liquid Foundation, $9.69.

Image: Supplied.

"Story time! I saw a beauty editor I used to work with at an event recently and she told me my skin was *glowing* and if that isn't the biggest compliment ever... Anyway, I'd like to thank Flower Beauty Light Illusion Liquid Foundation and Flower Gel Crush Lip & Cheek in Peach Crush for aforementioned glow." - Alix Nicholson, Weekend Editor.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Magic Touch Concealer, $51.

"I have been religiously using the Huda Beauty concealer, but I have been using this one by ABH and LOVING it. I prefer fuller coverage sometimes and this baby delivers. It's a very thick, creamy product so I like to lay it where I want it and then let it sit for 30 to 40 seconds. It looks beautiful, flawless and lasts FOREVER." - Shannen Findlay, Content Producer.

NARS Powermatte Lipstick, $55.

Image: Supplied.

"Okay, these NARS newbies are SO CREAMY. They glide on your lips like an absolute dream and feel lovely and delightfully non-drying. Plus, they last. Goodness, they do. I originally swatched it on my hand to test the shade and it literally wouldn't rub off after like three hand washes. The colour is intense, bright and my fave shade ('Kiss Me Deadly') is so incredibly chic." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Polished London Teeth Whitening Powder, $59.99.

Image: Supplied.

"With a long black as my coffee order, I've been needing to whiten my teeth for ages; so when I was kindly sent this powder to try, it went straight on my sink. I find that many whitening products don't taste great, but this one does, which I love." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor.

Amika Soulfood Nourishing Mask, $53.

Image: Supplied.

"Beyond the seriously cute and funky packaging (how fun is it?!), Amika's new range works wonders on reviving dry, damaged hair. It also smells incredible, too. My pick? Soulfood Nourishing Mask. If you're always on the (hair) tools like me, this lightweight formula will help soften and add shine to your hair, while adding a bunch of nutrients and antioxidants." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Viktor & Rolf Flowerbomb Eau de Parfum, $269.

Image: Supplied.

"I’m branching out with perfumes — and this has been a winner. It’s a sweet scent, but not too overpowering. I love the vanilla base note in it too. Plus the bottle — it’s so cute with the little accessories on it, makes it feel personalised." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer. 

E.S.K ULTIMATE A+, $125.

Image: Supplied.

"I’ve been using ESK 5+ PM for a while now and I’ve recently started with this twice a week. These products have made a noticeable difference in my ultra sensitive skin." - Nicole Madigan, Senior Writer. 

Cancer Council Hydrating Sunscreen For Men SPF 50+, $9.97.

Image: Supplied.

"If you're always trying to convince the men in your life to protect their skin (sigh), hand them this guy from Cancer Council. It promises all the good stuff that makes you actually want to wear sunscreen, while actually hydrating the skin (because no, your boyfriend/husband/brother probably doesn't moisturise, either). Just tell him brand ambassador and golf legend Adam Scott wears it, and he'll be slapping it on in no time." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Joico K-Pak Color Therapy Luster Lock Glossing Oil, $27.99.

Image: Supplied.

"My hair is a bit worse for wear, but this oil has been super nice. I add it to the mid-to-end parts of my hair when it’s damp. Extra brownie points for the fact it doesn’t impact my curl pattern." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Balm Glazed Donut, $14.95.

Image: Supplied

"Lanolips recently released a bunch of seriously delicious flavours, including (my personal favourite) 'Glazed Donut'. YUM! It's fun, sweet and the super-rich balm leaves your lips feeling so hydrated and soft." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Goldee Bee Ultra Fine Tanning Mist, $39.99.

Image: Supplied.

"I'm an early bird so I rarely put on that much makeup Monday to Friday; and this bronzing mist has come in handy. Kindly gifted to me, it's uber-fine, making for an even spray across my face, dries quickly and leaves a natural bronze glow (neither streaky nor orange)." - Charlotte Begg, Morning Editor. 

TheraFace Mask, $899.

Image: Supplied.

"Therabody just expanded their skin device range and launched a new LED mask — and let's just point out the obvious here: At $900, it's eye-wateringly expensive. Like, so stupidly spendy, it hurts. BUT it is a little different to your standard LED mask (I mean, for this price, you'd want it to be!). It features red light therapy (to target ageing), red light and infrared therapy (to boost circulation and even skin tone) and blue light therapy (for breakouts and acne), but also features vibration therapy to massage away facial tension around the eyes, brow line and scalp. And look, it feels amazing. It really does. Sorry. 

"You'll also notice it covers more surface area than your standard mask (that's why it looks like stuff from nightmares) and the sessions are only nine minutes (or a quick three-minute stint for specific concerns)." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

The Complete Brow Brow Sculpt, $29.99.

"I'm about to buy my second tube of this glorious stuff. I love the hold this provides for my brows, it lasts but doesn't feel to stiff or uncomfortable. It washes off nicely during my night routine. I think I'll take advantage of the sales and give it as a little stocking filler for my friends." - Yvette Bay, People & Culture Manager.

Ciaté London Dewy Gloss, $33.

Image: Supplied.

"I'm a sucker for a good lip gloss, and this ultra-glossy, non-sticky newbie from Ciate London gives my chronically dry lips a beautiful glassy finish, while still keeping them hydrated. I love the shade 'Charm'." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Olay Luminous Hyaluron + Niacinamide Gel Moisturiser, $29.99.

"If you're looking to add a new moisturiser into your skincare line up, I'd suggest checking out this gem from Olay. Featuring hydrating MVPs such as hyaluronic acid, vitamin B5 & glycerin to add moisture to the skin, it makes your skin feel smooth, plump and dewy and sits beautifully under makeup. I'm such a big fan." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Prada Paradoxe EDP, $275.

Image: Supplied.

"If you're looking for a fancy scent for you or to gift someone special, PRADA released these beautiful new sniffs — and they're the epitome of elegance and luxury. Soft, fresh and slightly sweet, it has a stunning balance of floral and amber notes that feel inviting and warm. Plus, how sexy is this packaging!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.
