Are you ready to add to cart? As we head deeper into autumn, a fresh batch of counter cravings has been unleashed

Keep it covered

Too Faced Born This Way Ethereal Light Concealer, $42, is a buttery, serum-light, buildable under-eye concealer that effortlessly glides on skin to camouflage and cover imperfections for up to 24 hours.

Doctor’s orders

Dr LeWinn’s has launched a ground- breaking new Serum Series, $79.99 each, featuring three clinically proven potions: Hydrate, Renew and Glow, for moisturised, rejuvenated and luminous skin. This next-generation collection targets some of the most common skincare concerns – dryness, skin cell renewal and radiance.

Bright eyes

Just in from the always-innovative New Zealand-born beauty and wellness brand Jeuneora DoeEyes, $87, is a multitasking, revitalising eye serum that brightens, smooths, hydrates and de-puffs with aplomb. It even comes with a cooling ceramic applicator to instantly soothe tired, puffy eyes.

Happy Birthday, Natio!

Natio is marking its 30-year anniversary with a limited-edition capsule that reflects the “pure joy and authenticity” of natural beauty. Our favourite is the Celebrate Eye Shadow Palette, $30.99, an 18-strong edit of highly pigmented eye shadows in a variety of wearable shades and beautiful textures.

TikTok approved

A true viral sensation, the Contour Cube, $39.99, has landed in New Zealand! Once frozen, simply glide the stick on clean skin in the morning for an instant de-puff and pick-me-up or use it in combination with your favourite serums to accelerate absorption.

Back – and definitely not basic

A fan favourite for years, Clinique Superdefense City Block SPF 30 Daily Energy + Face Protector, $59, is back by popular demand! The energising, go-anywhere sun shield is sheer, weightless, quick-absorbing, oil-free and wears great with makeup.

Brighter times ahead

At long last, New Zealand skincare specialist ManukaRx has released its first- ever serum, the Skin Brightening Vitamin C Serum, $51.95, to re-energise dull skin and bring back its glow.

Multiple uses

A limited-edition take on Nars’ iconic blush stick, The Multiple, $76, in the bestselling peachy-pink shade of Orgasm, is a mistake-proof, cream-to-powder formula that glides effortlessly on eyes, cheeks, lips and the body to impart a sheer, natural finish with a lightweight feel.

Feeling sensitive

Briogeo Aloe + Oat Milk Ultra Soothing Detangler, $49, is a hypoallergenic, dermatologist- tested, fragrance- and essential oil-free leave-in hair detangler specially formulated for those with sensitivities to fragrance, essential oils, lactose, soy and gluten.

Thirsty worker

Perfect for the cooler months, when dry skin is a given, Mecca Max Thirst Impression Priming Hydrating Moisturiser, $27, features four types of hyaluronic acid, along with plant-based squalane and black Baltic moss for a rich. It’s a dewy and yet still magically weightless face quencher that’s ideal for all skin types – especially those on the drier side.

Not so ordinary

Designed to saturate the skin in high-powered ingredients, The Ordinary Natural Moisturizing Factors + PhytoCeramides, $37, is a brand-new formula containing plant-derived fats and lipids for a fresher, more plumped appearance. This rich and replenishing cream is proven to immediately boost skin hydration by 68%, as well as reinforcing the skin barrier as we head into winter.
