The new beauty launches worth adding to cart

Shark Beauty has done it again with the launch of three new state-of-the-art tools designed to save time while keeping the health of your hair and scalp front of mind.

The Glossi 2-in-1 Hot Brush (pictured above) combines heat-controlled ceramic plates with powerful airflow to smooth and volumise wet or dry hair. Its maximum output temperature is 95.5°C to help minimise heat damage, while Shark’s 24-Hour Gloss Lock Technology assists in maintaining a high-shine finish with minimal frizz.

There’s also the SpeedStyle Pro, a multi-styler that dries and styles hair with four different attachments: a Rapid Gloss Finisher, QuickSmooth Brush, Turbo Concentrator and DefrizzFast Diffuser. But perhaps the most impressive feature is its Scalp Shield Mode, which helps protect the scalp and roots from extreme heat.

If you’re looking to dry, straighten and smooth your hair in a single step, the SilkiPro is the ultimate multitasker. Combining the power of a hair dryer and straightener, it features ceramic plates and three interchangeable combs for smoother results, including a wide-tooth comb designed for coily and curly hair textures.

London beauty brand Pixi has officially landed in Life Pharmacy stores nationwide. It’s loved for its skincare-makeup hybrids which create a natural, fresh-faced glow with minimal effort.

Don’t sleep on the cult-favourite Glow Tonic, a soothing exfoliating toner formulated with 5% glycolic acid and aloe vera to help refine pores and brighten the complexion.

Other must-haves include the hydrating blush and foundation sticks, and the Glow Mist for an instant spritz of luminosity.

Prone to panda eyes? We swear by tubing mascara for its sweat- and water-resistant finish. Revlon takes things one step further with its new All In Lash Lift Tubing Mascara, featuring a curved brush that lifts and defines lashes for an eye-opening effect. It’s available in both black and brown hues.

If the winter weather is leaving your skin dry, irritated or prone to redness, it may be time to rethink your skincare routine. Thankfully, Bobbi Brown’s cult-favourite Vitamin Enriched Face Base+, a moisturiser-primer hybrid, has been reformulated.

It still has the rich, buttery texture fans know and love, but now contains added niacinamide (vitamin B3) and even more panthenol (vitamin B5) to hydrate and replenish the skin barrier.

Editor’s tip: Use day and night for at least five weeks for noticeably soothed, softer skin, and an even smoother canvas for all-day makeup.

Not only has Essano refreshed its haircare packaging, but the New Zealand brand has also debuted two new shampoo and conditioner ranges: Silk Gloss, designed to smooth and hydrate dull hair, and Growth & Volume, created to strengthen and boost fine locks.

There’s now something for every hair type in the Essano range, with existing products catering to curls and frizz-prone hair, as well as blondes and dandruff-prone scalps.

The TikTok-viral Black Honey shade is back in a limited-edition collection for lips, eyes, lashes and nails. The iconic ‘90s lipstick hue is the inspiration behind pearlescent eyeshadow, volumising mascara and glossy, quick-drying nail polish.

Each year, ghd releases a limited-edition collection of pink hair tools in support of breast cancer charities around the world. This year marks 23 years of fundraising for the cause, with $20 from every purchase in New Zealand donated to Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Featuring the Duet Blowdry Brush, Helios Hair Dryer, Chronos Straightener, Curve Tong and Gold Straightener, the collection is the perfect excuse to treat yourself or a loved one. Better yet, every tool comes housed in a dusty pink, heat-resistant bag to match.

Once it’s sold out, this gorgeous colourway won’t return, so now’s your chance to upgrade your beauty kit, all in the name of a good cause.

Collagen-infused skincare is having a moment in the anti-ageing skincare space, with serums and creams engineered to help skin appear firmer, smoother, and more sculpted. Estée Lauder’s new fast-absorbing Revitalizing Supreme+ Sculpting Serum is no exception, with users reporting skin that feels plumper, more hydrated and visibly lifted over time.

A balm that hydrates and plumps lips, your pout will appear even fuller and glossier, without the tingling sting often associated with plumping formulations. Choose from a range of high-shine shades, some with added shimmer for extra shine.

Reinvigorate your senses with this uplifting fragrance, blending notes of strawberry juice, green tea and fresh basil leaves. Consider it the perfect pick-me-up for early mornings or an instant mood boost.

New luxury haircare brand Eternal Blue was founded by Mongolian-born Kiwi Saraa Orgilmaa. The range, which includes a shampoo, conditioner and restoring serum, features wild nettle, paying homage to the Mongolian tradition of foraging and preparing the nutrient-rich plant for use in beauty rituals.

Known for its scalp-soothing and strengthening properties, Eternal Blue’s formulations combine wild nettle with science-backed ingredients designed to support longer, stronger and thicker-looking hair.

Winding down before bed just got a little more indulgent with Jeuneora’s limited-edition Berry Brownie Beauty Sleep Hot Chocolate. Designed to help you feel calmer and more relaxed before bed, the blend contains pistachio extract and adaptogenic mushrooms to support stress management and promote a deeper night’s sleep. Better yet, it contains zero added sugar, making it a guilt-free addition to your evening beauty ritual.

Scent maximalists will adore this floral amber gourmand fragrance, bursting with notes of wild berry coulis, sweet jasmine, smooth tonka bean and creamy sandalwood. Intensely bold and inspiring confidence, it’s a richer, muskier take on the original Viva La Juicy with a long-lasting finish designed to leave a lingering impression.
