The Jurlique body exfoliating gel sounds absolutely gorgeous.
The Eleven Miracle hair treatment sounds cool az!
The brightening roll on looks interesting and so does the new Swisse range, love Swisse products.
Gosh…so many new things. I am coming back to old goodies I have and revisited Pump Haircare Thickening mask. Why oh why it is not available in stores? Need a lifetime supply! Stuff is magic !
So pleased Cancer Council are releasing a sensitive sunscreen as I react to their current products.
Key-Sun Clear Zinke sounds good and I need more sunscreen.
thanks for keeping us updated
Never thought I would see apple cider vinegar supplements
I'm loving all the collabs here focused not just on beauty, but arts, creativity and vulnerable communities.
Do want to try some
aveeno is my go to product
The Innisfree serum sounds good. The Nude by Nature set sounds great, too – I love their mineral powder.
I would love to try the Apple Cider Vinegar tablets and the Dove Body Wash. I bet it smells amazing.
There are so many lovely new products rolling out I can't choose just one.
I love the sound of the Jurlique
I love Eleven Australia products, the hair serum leaves my hair so soft and it smells amazing.
Wow a mask sanitiser! These are strange times indeed…
I love lanolin!
Thanks BH for a comprehensive range of Products really like the Hollywood Fashion Secrets Bra Band Extender what a great idea.
Also the Apple Cider Vinegar Supplements. So many great products.
Looks of products this month I am lusting over.
Wow, good selection and some good charity efforts. Love it
Great work NIVEA! such a huge contribution to society
So many new products
Good work Nivea. I know a few people that use Foodbank. They need toiletries and beauty products too.
It's always exciting to read about new products.
The Bodecare looks already wearing out but I have one of their nail brushes and it's very good
I could use the bra extenders for some of mine. Em & Mary sounds another good Australian natural brand – bring them on…!
The children's book sounds like a great Christmas present for the younguns
Jurlique products are always good. I like the sound of Lanolips dry skin salve too.
Amazing that micellar water is 25 years old already!
Interesting to find out about new products. I've tried a few different Aveeno products and I've been quite impressed with them
Bioderma Micellar water is 25! That is a great product, no Micellar water comes close to doing as good of a job as that product.
I would love to try the Bodecare Body brush.
Bioderma Micellar Water is my favourite. Who would have thought that it is 25 years old
I am always intrigued by the new releases and most interesting one here is the mask sanitiser. I'd love to buy the Lovekins children's book too since my lo loves to read books (rather look at the picutres)
Happy Birthday To Bioderma
Great round up!!! Thank you for sharing!!!
I think they've created it in part to help people who are suffering from "mask-ne". I know I've been tempted to buy it because I've been getting pimples from wearing masks, but (a) I just remember to wash my masks post-wear & (b) the first ingredient of that mask sanitiser is one I'm allergic to (alcohol denat), so I'd need to test first.
Bodecare dry body brush is a great product to adopt skin care routine.
Although I don't use this particular brand of body brush, I do use one from the Body Shop every morning before I shower. It does seem to help with circulation and makes my skin feel more 'alive'!
I'd love to try the De Lorenzo Thermal Conditioner, my hair is a bit dry and frizzy at the moment and needs some extra love.
Ooh I've heard good things about the Fudge Violet Toning shampoo and conditioner! They are on my (very long) list of products I'd like to try.
not sure why underarms need to be lightened?
Would like to try the lanolips product. Good to hear about Nivea and foodbank donating products
Love the innisfree serum, it is SO hydrating
I'm yet to try the innisfree Green Tea Seed Serum, I really want to.
I have a Bodecare brush but I haven't tried it yet (not the one in the picture).
