What To Buy: 7 must-have May beauty buys

Keen on expanding your beauty collection? Consider the month of May your green light to do so. While you’ll no doubt be dropping some of that hard earned cash on a gift for mum for Mother’s Day, there’s absolutely no harm in picking up a treat (or two) for yourself as well, right?

RELATED: 4 beauty trends to try in May

Whether you’re dreaming of an Italian getaway, fancy getting pampered or just want to try something new, May has something in store for you. 


Tom Ford Sole Di Positano EDP

50mL, $340 (available now from David Jones)

I’m heading back to Italy this year, so to get me in the mood for that Euro sunshine, I’m spritzing this new scent left, right and centre. While there’s an undeniably strong presence of sun-drenched citrus notes like lemon and mandarin, it’s the bergamot that really gives it that delectable bite.

Benefit Cheek Parade Palette

Housing some of the brand’s most popular blushes and bronzers, this limited edition palette contains every face-enhancing hue you could ever want.

Avène Cleansing Foam

Though it’s not new to the market, if you haven’t already had the pleasure of trying this cleansing foam, I implore you to do so immediately. A staple in my showertime routine, the puffy, cloud-like foam is a real treat for me skin. Just a few pumps of this soft and gentle formula washes away the day without any irritation, leaving my skin feeling incredibly soothed.

PATCHOLOGY FlashPatch 5 Minute Lip Gels

24 gels, $72 (available now from mecca.com.au)

These innovative lip patches go beyond traditional lip balms and treatments to hydrate smooth and revitalise your pout in just five minutes. Loaded with a whole lotta skin-loving ingredients, these hard-working hydrogels are a downright lifesaver for those suffering from a dry, rough pout.

Mary Kay® TimeWise Repair® Revealing Radiance™ Facial Peel

While some women would say there’s nothing better than a paper day at the spa,  I’d aruge that DIY-ing on a Friday night with a wine and some Netflix feels just as indulgent. This facial peel treatment is a top pick for me this month, mainly because I’m about to hit the big 3-0 and I’ve become particularly pedantic about the apperance of my skin. I love that the formula is gentle enough to use twice a week to help me achieve my goal of a brighter, smoother more youthful looking complexion. 

Herbivore Botanicals Rose Hibiscus Hydrating Face Mist

$22 (available now from Sephora)

What’s not to love about this delightfully pale pink mist? It’s natural, it’s hydrating and its scent is the perfect concoction of coconut, rose and hibiscus. After a quick spritz, my skin is supple, hydrated and dewy all day.  I love discovering products that not only look beautiful, but deliver results

 

Oribe Maximista Thickening Spray

$38 (oribe.com)

In my experience, there are products that promise to boost volume, only to fall flat mere minutes after I’m done styling. This spray however, thickens my hair – and keeps it that way.  With thermal-protection and a lychee and watermelon scent, this body builder is guaranteed to win your heart.
