The good news is, it's time for a little bit of show and tell. Because it's been a hefty month for beauty launches — and we're just itching to share our faves with you.

TheMamamiateam have tried and tested a whole heap of skincare, makeup, hair and body products — and mercy, there are some goodies you're going to want to snatch up.

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

Okay, enough chat. Let's get into it!

Marc Jacobs Daisy Drops Eau So Fresh, $50 (for 30 capsules).

"Mr Jacobs! You smart man. These cute little tins are filled with 30 innovative single-use capsules, each filled with Marc Jacobs Daisy Drops Eau So Fresh fragrance. They're PERFECT for travel and easy to easily fit in your pocket or chuck in your bag. Did someone say game-changer?!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Trinny London BFF De-Stress, $75.

"Now that it’s getting a bit warmer I want to wear a less intense coverage foundation, and this Trinny London tinted serum is epic. The shade I’ve got works well for my skin tone, plus the formula is so, so, SO good to wear on those long days. Yay." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

Fresh Beauty Rose Deep Hydration Facial Toner, $69, and Fresh Beauty Rose Deep Hydration Balancing Emulsion, $69.

"I'm a dry gal and I have been OBSESSED with the Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Toner (it has rose petals in it, which feels extra boujee) and the Fresh Hydrating Emulsion. I'm putting them on first before my serum and moisturiser, and my skin has been very thankful." - Stacey Hicks, Branded Content Lead.

Olay Regenerist Advanced Anti-Ageing Micro-Sculpting Face Cream Moisturiser, $59.99.

"Okay, but this formula is BEAUTIFUL. Thick, velvety, yet lovely and lightweight (it sinks in like a dream), the contents of this iconic red jar work to increase cell turnover, smooth skin and deliver hydration that actually lasts. It feels amazing on the skin, sits lovely under makeup and makes your skin bright, plump and healthy-looking. Get into it." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

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

"I have super-sensitive skin and it’s the first high-quality moisturiser that hasn't had a negative impact. It's also the first product I've used where I've actually seen the difference in my skin." - Nicole Madigan, Senior Writer.

Enbacci Skincare Calm Reset Cleansing Balm, $79.50.

"My skin has been a bit (aka a lot) testy lately. This cleanser has been helping a lot in terms of cleaning my skin but it doesn't feel tight afterwards, which I love. It is on the pricey side, but if it helps with my breakouts – it’s a worthwhile investment for me. And the blue colour is pretty entertaining." - Isabella Ross, Senior News Writer.

CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser, $23.99.

"This newbie has single-handedly been keeping my angry cystic spots at bay. With ingredients like salicylic acid and purifying clay, it helps to reduce the appearance and recurrence of blemishes, while also featuring ingredients like niacinamide and ceramides to support and nourish the skin. Such a great pick if you have acne-prone skin." - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Goldfields & Banks Sunset Hour, $239

"I CHEWED through this perfume for months. It was my absolute favourite, it smells juicy and delicious and I recommend it to my friends who want something feminine and fruity! It’s a bit more complex than a standard fruity perfume though – it has essences of Sandalwood and Cashmere Wood as well. It’s so luxurious!" - Shannen Findlay, Content Producer.

Curl Wow Flo-Etry Vital Natural Serum, $64, and Color Wow Curl Wow Shook Mix + Fix Bundling Spray, $80.

"Color Wow (the brand behind the cult Dreamcoat Supernatural Spray) recently dropped a new range of curl products – and look, if you've got curly hair you justgottacheck 'em out. I've tried a lot of different curly hair products over the years, and these could be my two favourite products. The serum is moisturising and nourishing and brings the natural shape of your hair back to its best self, while the 'Shook' spray defines curls without that gross crunchy feeling. Must-haves for curly gals!" - Erin Docherty, Beauty & Health Editor.

Black Chicken Remedies Axilla Deodorant Paste, $18.50.

"Finding a natural deodorant is not an easy task. But after years of trying so many, I can confirm this product by Black Chicken is the best. Plus they're an Aussie business!" - Emeline Gazilas, Senior Podcast Producer.
