“It’s a Summer Holiday in a Bottle”: 6 Beauty Products I Didn’t Know I Needed This Month

Sometimes, working at Adore Beauty feels like Christmas.

I’ll get a notification from Australia Post (basically the Santa for adults) that an order is on its way from a brand I love, and I’ll just know it’s something new and shiny. 

When I hear the sound of the (door) bells ringing, I’ll run downstairs and there stands Santa.

I mean, the postie… and usually, I won’t even be able to wait until I get back to my apartment before ripping open the package.

So without further ado, here are six shiny new (or new to me) products I'm loving sick this month.

From a cult brand hair mask to the best new hydrating product for oily skin, read on for the products I didn't know I needed.

1. A Candle That’s Like a Big Warm Hug.

What:

Jo Loves Fig Trees Home Candle 

Why I love it: 

If you’re a Ted Lasso fan, you'll know what I mean when I say this candle smells *exactly* like Ted Lasso feels to watch. 

It will warm even the coldest of hearts! 

The first time I lit this candle, I felt the scent envelop me in the warmest hug.

The burn time is 37.5 hours, and as much as I tried to savour the candle, it was empty within a month. 

The scent is inspired by holidays in the Italian mountains, capturing the smell of freshly-picked figs. 

Other notes include cassis and amber for sweetness and warmth and cedar for woodiness.

2. The Best Post-Treatment Mineral Foundation.

What:

Aspect Minerals Liquid 

Why I love it: 

Everyone who knows me well knows I love a hectic skin treatment.

Chemical peels, skin needling, lasers. Literally anything that makes my skin raw and red. 

I also like to go on lots of dates. So, how does one do their makeup the day after hundreds of little needles have been rolled all over their face until blood is drawn?

Find a really good mineral makeup option.

The Aspects Minerals Liquid foundation is a light to medium buildable liquid foundation that will even out skin tone and hide redness. 

It’s got a dewy, skin-like finish and is formulated with skin-loving ingredients to protect, defend and hydrate your skin.

Our resident makeup artist Megan also loves the mineral powder foundation, you can read more about that in her Aspect Minerals review here.


3. A Face Tan That Looks Like a Summer Holiday in a Bottle.

What:

Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bali Bronzing Face Drops

Why I love it: 

I’ve been looking for a holy grail face tan and I’ve found it in this new(ish) one by Coco & Eve. 

Under no circumstances do I let the sun touch my face, but I still like a glowy, natural tan that says 'I just got back from vacation'. 

These concentrated face tanning drops contain hyaluronic acid and coconut water for extra hydration, and can be used on their own like a serum or mixed in with your moisturiser for a customisable colour.

I use 3-4 drops before layering my other serums on top (but I’ll skip exfoliating serums on the night I’m tanning my face).

4. The Best Affordable Anti-Frizz Shampoo & Conditioner.

What: 

Why I love it: 

I’m a bougie b*tch when it comes to my hair care, but I often get asked about more affordable options for Hagrid hair-types. 

Enter, affordable professional hair brand Davroe.

I'm obsessed with these products because not only are they incredibly effective, but they also won’t break the bank. 

The anti-frizz range is formulated specifically for dry, coarse, frizzy hair and will smooth and hydrate with added humidity control. 

Both the shampoo and conditioner are also free from sulphates and parabens, and are suitable for hair extensions and keratin-treated hair.

5. The Best New Face Mask for Oily Skin.

What:

PCA SKIN Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask

Why I love it: 

When I’ve overdone it with active ingredients like glycolic acid and retinol, I need a deeply hydrating mask that's also soothing. 

The PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Overnight Mask might be the best mask for oily skin I've tried.

The morning after using this mask, tight and irritated skin is completely calmed, as if your skin has magically ingested three litres of water after a desert hike. 

The jelly-like texture contains sodium hyaluronate, a higher molecular weight of hyaluronic acid to attract and hold moisture in the deeper layers of the skin for intense hydration.

Then, lower weight hyaluronic acid, niacinamide (vitamin B3), panthenol (vitamin B5) and Persian silk tree extract work on the surface layers of the skin for that instant smoothness, calmness and plumpness. 


6. The Most Hydrating Hair Mask That Also Repairs Damage.

What:

Olaplex No. 8 Bond Intense Moisture Mask

Why I love it: 

I try a lot of hair masks for dry and damaged hair, and I can confirm Olaplex No.8 is my current favourite. 

I use it every single wash and I will definitely be repurchasing.

Our resident hair guru Millie is also obsessed, you can read her Olaplex No8 review here.

Not only is it hydrating and smoothing, but it’s also formulated with Olaplex’s patented bond-building ingredient that works on repairing the hair. 

It doesn’t weigh down the hair either. Hair just looks smooth, bouncy and soft.
