And just like that it's March. This month marks the turning of seasons. It's Autumn , the days shorten, and those last feelings of summer slip away. But it's a nice time to get grounded, spend more time at home and focus on self-care.
It's also a month historically ripe for beauty launches, the best of which we've chronicled below. From chewable collagen that actually tastes great, to a Melbourne-founded face cream that instantly smooths your skin barrier, you'll find our edit of the best new-season beauty right here.
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Care & Glow Serum Concealer
Formulated on a serum base, this creamy concealer conceals dark spots, breakouts and uneven tone while imparting a dewy finish. It doesn't crease or settle, so is a great option for disguising dark circles, too.
Dior J'Adore Hand Cream
This superlative is everything you could want in a hand cream: melting texture, rapid absorption, chic packaging. Scent-wise, it takes floral cues from Dior J'Adore (think magnolia, jasmine and orange blossom).
Fornasetti Giadino Segreto Eau de Parfum
Fornasetti Giadino Segreto is herbaceous, green and aromatic. With sweet notes of geranium, carnation and wild blackberry, it's wild and a little untamed. Note the face of 19th century opera singer, Lina Cavalieri, on the bottle green vessel, as well.
Kiehl's Creme de Corps Refill Pouch
Creme de Corps is arguably the most iconic body cream to exist. It was a cult buy before *body care* was a thing, and proof that truly great formulations never loose their appeal. It now comes in a refill pouch, meaning less plastic consumption and better value. Glossy and nourishing but never sticky, it's perfect on slightly damp skin after a shower.
Lancôme Idôle Tint Liquid Eye & Cheek Blush
Also just in from Lancôme is this hybrid blush and eye tint. It has a cashmere finish that dries down quickly, affording long last pigmented on the cheeks and eyes.
Soul Aesthetix Rejuvenate & Replenish
This exfoliant and sheet mask bundle is everything you need to smooth, plump and illuminate tired skin. The gel exfoliator uses chemical and granular exfoliants to buff and resurface, while the sheet mask infises cooling moisture. Use the duo together before your next event.
Olaplex BrowBond Building Serum
Olaplex have turned their tech towards brow health, launching this brow serum that immediately fluffs while building hair density in as little as four weeks. It relies on peptides and patented bond building technology to improve thickness and growth.
Byredo Liquid Lipstick Matte
This new matte lip from Byredo is unbelievably opaque. A single swipe is all that's needed to drench the lips in cashmere-soft colour. It's weightless and super comfortable, as well.
The Beauty Chef Plumpers Collagen Chewables
If you love collagen but lack the discipline it takes to be consistent, these chewables from The Beauty Chef might just change your life. Not only does the chocolate flavour taste really good, but they contain hydrolysed bovine collagen peptides to promote skin elasticity and hydration.
Strange Luxury Barrier Balance Cream
Melbourne-founded Strange Luxury has launched with a singular, perfect product: the Barrier Balance Cream. Designed to replenish and give back to depleted skin, it's rich in emollients, occlusives and antioxidants to instantly smooth and plump. It's brilliant under makeup, or as the final step in your skincare routine.
Dior Rouge Dior
A bold red lip never dates, and we can't quit this hue from Dior Beauty. The formula is perfectly balanced — not too glossy but not overly matte — and the pigment is nice and opaque. '999' is a blue-red that flatters all skin tones, too.
