We’re officially into Autumn. While it feels like a serious transition to let go of languid summer, the cool change actually presents the perfect opportunity to slow down and go inward. This is best paired with refreshed beauty rituals — warm scents, easy styling products to compliment your air dry, soothing skincare, and high tech tools to elevate your Sunday facial.
From Bader to Balmain, find our beauty favourites for March below.
Type Bea Sea Salt Texture Spray
New from Type Bea, this spray is full of sea salt and plant-based keratin for undone waves without grittiness or crunch. You won’t feel like you need to wash your hair afterwards, either.
Rouge Hermès Silky Shine Lipstick
Five years on from the launch of Rouge Hermès, the house has launched Rouge Silky, a high-shine lip stick that delivers pigment and gloss in equal measure.
Le Labo Eucalyptus 20
Despite its reference to Australiana, Eucalyptus 20 is rich, open and woody. There’s cedarwood, musk, labdanum, thyme and hyssop — like solitude in olfactory form.
Sisley Peaux Sensibles Soothing Care Serum
This serum launches later this month, and the hype is warranted. It’s made with botanicals and plant oils, immediately soothing stressed-out skin while encouraging a healthier barrier long term. it also pulls water into the skin for a soft, plump finish.
Aesop Aurner
Aesop’s newest fragrance is an interesting one. A mix of magnolia leaf, chamomile and cedar, it’s a floral that’s light, interesting but still true to the herbal Aesop DNA. An anti-floral that’s completely genderless.
Balmain Carbone
Balmain fragrance just launched into Australia this week, and the scent profile is punchy. My pick is Carbone, a sexy-demure mix of rose, tobacco haze,
Clinique Even Better Vitamin Makeup
We’re all about makeup with skincare benefits, and this foundation by Clinique is impressive. It’s light and glowy for instant radiance, with vitamin C to boost collagen and elastin while supporting an event skin tone.
Augustinus Bader The Rich Eye Cream
You can now get Augustinus Bader’s famous TFC8 complex around your delicate eye area. this cream is plush, so it’s perfect for dry or crepey skin (it’s perfect to prep for crease-free concealer). Over time, it brightens and reduces the appearance of fine lines, too.
Tsu Lange Yor By Your Side
By Your Side feels like the anticipation before a first kiss with someone. It’s light but sexy, familiar but interesting; think cardamom, pepper, smoke, worn leather and woods.
YSL Make Me Blush
Sometimes, you just can’t beat the finish of a powdered blush. This new formula from YSL has micro-fine pigments for a seamless wash of colour, but the shades are bold enough that it can be layered for drama.
The Beam
If you want to level up your at-home skincare, take a look at The Beam. It combines radio frequency, micro-current, low-level laser and red light to target skin tone and texture. It claims to lift and firm, for bright, youthful-looking skin.
