Here at Best Picks, we’ve rounded up some of the most exciting arrivals in the land of beauty that are worth your time and money, from crowd-favourite cleansers to Selena Gomez’ first-ever Rare Beauty perfume.
With some viral products under $20 — including the infamous Lume deodorant that just landed in Woolies — you can get your hands on many of these game-changing formulas without breaking the bank.
1. Benefit Foundation The Porefessional Foundation, $72 at Myer
Pore care has long been the focus for our friends at Benefit.
Home to facial cleansers, toners, masks and more, they have every product under the sun for hydrating and smoothing the complexion (and of course, pores).
So it only made sense that the biggest launch of the year should be a POREfessional foundation, a blurring matte formula that stays put for 24 hours. Choose from 38 shades available.

2. Merit Great Skin Double Cleanse, $51 at Merit Beauty
Loved by Martha Stewart, Dakota Johnson, and Sarah Jessica Parker, is fair to say that Merit Beauty is loved across the globe.
The latest launch to take the world by storm? The Great Skin Double Cleanse, a 2-in-1 oil-free formula for those after a deep cleanse at the end of the day, minus the hassle.
Jam-packed with oat-derived surfactants and plant-derived humectants, it gently exfoliates and wipes away the day, leaving behind a smooth and makeup-free base.

3. Dyson Omega Range, from $85 at Dyson
We all know and love Dyson’s top-of-the-line tools, but what about the hair care range?
Omega, the newly-launched collection, recently landed on Aussies shores, and they are all about restoring strands and giving them smooth and shiny finish.
Dyson Oli7, a blend of seven omega-rich oils — including sunflower seeds harvested on Dyson’s UK farm — is available in the form of a leave-in conditioning spray and hydrating hair oil.

4. Lume Whole Body Deodorant Stick Soft Powder, was $25 now $20 at Woolworths
Viral US-based deodorant brand Lume has just landed at Down Under, and Aussies are in for a treat.
Bringing clinically proven 72 hours of odour control for our pits, there are two products up for grabs at Woolworths, the Invisible Cream and Smooth Solid Stick.
Both science-backed and jam-packed with skin-loving ingredients, this budget-friendly deo can be used over the whole body, and comes in a perfect travel-friendly size.

5. Rare Beauty Rare EDP 50ml, $124 at Sephora
Ms Selena has officially given her fans exactly what they wanted — a Rare Beauty perfume.
With top notes of caramel and pistachio combined with a rich vanilla and spicy ginger base, this earthy perfume is perfect for everyday wear.
Designed with a group of certified hand therapists and packaging engineers, Rare Beauty’s luxe fragrance even has an ergonomic bottle for easy dispensing. Go spritz!

6. Barry M Lip Rehab Nourishing Lip Mask, was $14.95 now $8.97 at Priceline
We all know that winter can cause havoc to our skin during the winter months, including our lips.
To banish dryness once and for all, get your hands on an ultra hydrating balm like Barry M’s Lip Rehab to make your lips smooth and supple once again.
Offering round the clock nourishment and a pop of colour (our favourite is Very Cherry), shoppers are calling these the next dupe for rhode’s peptide lip tints.

7. Tarte Tartelette Tubing Lash Primer, $46 at Sephora
Lovers of a tubing mascara listen up — you can now turn your regular mascara into a tubing formula with just one handy product.
Simply prep your lashes with Tarte’s new Tubing Lash Primer and layer your go-to mascara on top. The results? Long, volumised lashes coated in a formula that’s just as easy to remove as it is apply.
Deemed as your lashes “personal trainer” it’s a must-have for every makeup bag.
