1. Jasmine, Beauty Editor.
Aspect Purastat 5 Cleanser.
Fast facts:
- The Aspect Purastat 5 Cleanser is a 2-in-1 face wash that cleanses the skin whilst gently exfoliating it for a brighter, smoother complexion.
- It’s free of harsh chemicals and instead uses a gentle blend of sugar and coconut extracts to detoxify skin.
- It helps to remove blemishes and pigmentation while still increasing the hydration levels in the skin.
- It's suitable for most skin types, except for super sensitive skin havers.
Why I'm adding it to my cart:
I love love loveeee this cleanser. I was lucky enough to try it recently and it's quickly become of my faves (hence the need to rebuy it, stat).
It ticks a lot of my skin concern boxes (pigmentation, texture and congestion) in one product.
Its gel-like, green texture (likely from its wasabi root ferment ingredient) foams really well and rinses clear. It leaves my skin feeling super smooth and clean, without being too dry.
Tick, tick and tick.
Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm.
Fast facts:
- The Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm gently removes makeup, SPF, dirt and pollution while maintaining and supporting your skin barrier’s function.
- Its balm texture transforms into an oil cleanser when applied, and is waterless so as to not disrupt the skin’s delicate pH.
- It’s formulated with grapeseed oil and native wild orange leaf extract to calm and smooth the skin.
- It’s Australian-made, vegan and cruelty-free.
Why I'm adding it to my cart:
The Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm has long been heralded as the GOAT. And I'm happy to report the rumours are, in fact, true. She's the real. deal.
As someone with dry, sensitive skin, I love how gentle the balm is. It removes my makeup without stripping my skin of its natural oils.
It’s super nourishing and hydrating, and leaves my skin feeling clean and soft.
Plus, as a contact lens wearer, I love that I can get into my eyes to remove mascara and eyeliner without momentarily going blind from product stuck to my lens... (IYKYK).
VIRTUE Flourish Shampoo.
Fast facts:
- The Virtue Flourish Shampoo is a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo specifically made for fine or fragile hair havers.
- It’s gentle, volumising and focuses on the scalp as the foundation for all-over hair health.
- It contains Alpha Keratin 60ku which strengthens existing hair and supports new growth.
- It’s subtly scented with herbaceous, citrusy notes.
Why I'm adding it to my cart:
I was late to jump on the Virtue bandwagon, but I’m so glad I did!
As someone with dry, fine hair, the Flourish Shampoo (and the rest of the Virtue Flourish range) is everything.
Volumising? Check. Hydrating? Check. Repairs damage? Check.
Plus, it smells amazing.
Need I say more?

I'm grabbing these two because they give me glowy skin and with winter just around the corner, I want to get a hold on dull, dry skin before it gets a hold on me.”

Why Sadaf is adding them to her cart:
“I’m immediately adding the Virtue Healing Oil to my cart, I just did a review on it for BIQ and it truly gave me instantly softer and glossier hair.
I’ve also been waiting for a sale to get my hands on the Oribe Dry Texturising Spray.
I might also use this as an opportunity to replace my mum’s old ghd straightener for her upcoming birthday (because if you don't nab a hot tool while it's on sale, you’re sale-shopping wrong).
