Big news in beauty
- Lovekins’ brand vision has always been about improving the health and happiness of families, and so during the critical stages of the Australian bushfires they donated $46,000 worth of baby care products such as wet wipes, skin care, nappies and feminine hygiene sanitary pads to help women and families in need.
- Great news for Weleda fans everywhere (AKA everyone, including Victoria Beckham who names the brand’s Skin Food moisturiser among her beauty faves) – they’ve just launched in Priceline. One tube sells every 16 seconds, so grab yours (online) ASAP.
- Rihanna (otherwise known as everyone’s number one skinspiration) has teased the highly anticipated launch of Fenty Skin in an interview with British Vogue, alluding to the fact that while the wheels are in motion, she’s going to take the necessary time to get the formulas perfect. “Skincare, it’s the truth. It either works or it doesn’t. There’s nowhere to hide,” she shared. Fair; but in the meantime, we’ll happily continue hiding behind our favourite Fenty Beauty Match Stix shades.
- In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, essence has started an initiative to generate additional awareness around #socialdistancing, donating close to $900,000 to Doctors Without Borders, and launching a social campaign where they will donate approximately $9 for each post shared of a ‘digital kiss’ under the hashtag #kisstance. Selfie cams at the ready.
- Anyone who has ever perfected the art of the ideal hairstyle and outfit combo knows how well they complement each other – turns out Aussie haircare company De Lorenzo and Sydney fashion label IXIAH agree, having announced a 12-month brand alignment with De Lorenzo hair products being used to complete IXIAH fashion looks onset at photoshoots and via social media

We-Vibe Moxie
Regular vibrators? Great. Remote-controlled vibrators? Excellent. This sneaky device was designed to be slipped into underwear, and can be controlled by you or a partner via the remote or the We-Connect app. Nifty, eh?
Welcome to NYX. Some great products with affordable prices. Love!
I always look forward to this article each month. I’m very excited about Weleda being available in Priceline. I got to try it for the first time in a recent trial and I’m hooked. I’d been wanting to try it for a long time but there wasn’t a stockist anywhere near me. Yippee!
Happy to see Weleda stocked at Priceline! Also great news for De Lorenzo. Love their haircare. Not into that fashion label, not my style at all.
With this whole social distancing thing I've been wearing less makeup so I don't really need any more
Yay Nyx is on BH
The Sensori hand cleanser appeals!!
I want to try that Sensori candle 🙂
I've seen the NYX makeup around, but never bought anything from the range. I'll be interested to see what the products are.
I am keen to try the Nature's Way Beauty Collagen Mature Skin Gummies. Anything to help plump up my skin is on my list. Lots of great products in this months Beauty Insider.
Ooh that L'Occitane Beauty Milk sounds fab 🙂
What a fantastic initiative by essence!
Oh cool Nyx is back!!
OMG, an app for a vibrator! Never even considered that as a possibility.
Yay NYX, so many hit or miss products it will be great to see them here. Love Welda and happy to see them at Priceline, the OG Skinfood is a staple in my household so I'm glad it will be more readily available at Priceline.
Yes please!
Interesting article, lots of info. Great that Weleda is available at Priceline.
I have heard lots about NYX but I have never used them.
Fruit enzyme cleanser. I would love to give that a try.
With Weleda now being available in Priceline I wonder if it will be part of the next skincare goody bag.
I received Lanate Cream in a discovery bag last year and have since repurchased as it was terrific in healing my dry flakey skin on my legs and arms.
Great reading here.
The Sonia Washburn Pink Frangipani Eau de Parfum sounds wonderful.
Lots of new and interesting things this month!
I like the sound of the Garnier micellar rose water as I love the smell of roses. Sonia Wasburn's Pink Frangipani natural scent sounds just lovely
The Cell Shock booster for sensitive skin is my pick of the pics here
Synergie Skin sanitising Spray sounds interesting for these times
Good to hear Priceline sells Weleda now
So many fantastic products to choose from really would like to try Swissline Cell Shock Age Intelligence™ Perfection Booster sounds like it would be great for my skin.
Lots of lovely things, quite a few from brands I don’t know. With my stocks at home I can’t really justify buying anything but if I see the Garnier micellar water on my next exciting outing (shopping) I might get it.
The Sensori candle is on my wishlist.
I am totally up for the cream cleanser. I have tried Novellus eye cream so far and love it.
I noticed NYX were back, yay! I'm intrigued about the De Lorenzo/l IXIAH collab.
So many new beauty launches.
Some really cool things happening for sure!!!
Oh look, NYX is back on BH… I don't think I even realised that they left…
I never heard about Magnesium Power Magnesium Gel.It seems great product for mum,
Not much news. I guess it is quite quiet this month which is understandable. Many would be happy that NYX is back.
I’ve bought from sensori range it’s divine!
yeh I've loved what I've tried too. would like to try some more things.
That vibrator app, holy strewth!!
The lanate cream is really good for chicken skin. I am finding it effective. Also currently using the new glow skin micellar water, makes the skin feel a bit sticky though
Noticed Weleda in a local Priceline store last weekend. Fingers crossed the brand will be included in the next skincare sale – I quite like the idea of Skin Food Light being at least 40% off!
Wooot NYX is finally on bh!
I love De Lorenzo products tried a few
I've reported TracyMatt's post on the "SERIAL SPAM MEMBER ON BH" thread.
It's great to see Priceline stocking Weleda products.
I haven't heard of many of these products let alone used, except the Weleda which I received from BH.
