Best of New: 9 Products I’ve Already Added to My Wishlist
Nikki is a writer, former makeup artist, and Communications Specialist at Adore Beauty. She kicked off her writing career at Fashion Journal, penning beauty articles and interviewing musicians she’d still name-drop seven years later. In 2023, she made a very big and bold career leap (writing about fashion instead of beauty). Now, she’s come full circle – but still loves to think outside the box.
Two words my wallet hates to hear coming: beauty innovations.
From French-inspired wellness brands with feel-good rituals to PDRN-powered skincare with buzz, it’s an exciting time to scroll through new. And yes, it’s a fun job.
So, exercise that heart-shaped wishlist button (or cut out the middleman and head straight to checkout), ‘cause you’re going to like what you see.
1. Medik8 Exo-PDRN Prismatic+, $160
You’ve probably seen the letters ‘PDRN’ (short for polydeoxyribonucleotide) pop up in product names and SkinTok videos. That’s ‘cause the benefits of this buzzy K-beauty ingredient are too good to ignore.
Medik8’s latest launch falls in that category, too. Its next-generation PDRN serum works to boost your skin’s natural renewal processes, helping restore vitality, refine tone and texture, and support calm, resilient-looking skin.
2. Juliette has a gun Banana Rush 50ML, $175
Speaking of it-ingredients, Juliette has a gun’s new unexpected gourmand features notes of banana, maple syrup, coconut, frangipani flower, vanilla and sandalwood. It’s a sweet – and potentially divisive – fragrance that leans more milky than tropical, and dries down to a warm, sexy, addictive scent.
3. Biotyspa Body Sculpt Kit, $135
New to Adore, this wellness brand uses clinically-proven French body sculpting techniques and Australian-made ingredients to deliver feel-good results. Its three-step Body Sculpt Kit is designed to support lymphatic flow, reduce water retention, and improve overall skin tone and texture.
Used regularly, the trio works to define, smooth and visibly firm your skin.
4. Olaplex N°.3PLUS Complete Repair Treatment, $60
Olaplex’s beloved bond-building technology just got even better – and faster, too. Its iconic Nº.3 treatment has been updated with a new formula that strengthens your hair from the inside-out while helping protect against future damage.
Taking only three minutes to work its magic, it’s a quick fix with long-lasting results.
5. Medicube PDRN Pink Collagen Toning Gel Toner Pad, $51
Thanks to K-beauty innovations, toner-serum hybrids have secured a firm spot in our routines.
These dual-sided toner pads from Medicube are infused with PDRN and pink collagen to help firm, smooth, and refresh your skin in one swipe.
The quick wins? Deep hydration and a plump, natural glow.
6. Lanolips 12 Hour Overnight Hand Mask, $16.95
As we brave the cold, dry-skin-causing conditions, it helps to have a deeply nourishing moisturiser on-hand. This one from Lanolips is loaded with rich, barrier-supporting ceramides to hydrate and repair your hands overnight.
A bedside essential.
7. Miu Miu Fleur De Lait EDP, $200
I’ll be honest, I came for the iconic Miu Miu-embossed bottle, but ended up staying for the creamy, milky, summer-inspired fragrance.
With notes of mango, osmanthus and coconut milk, Miu Miu’s Fleur de Lait is perfect for those who love sweet scents with a fresh twist. Or those heading somewhere sunny.
8. Fwee 3D Voluming Tint, $33
Happy to announce that we now stock Fwee, a K-beauty brand renowned for its jelly-like formulas and soft, diffused finishes. Its 3D Volumising Tint is a lip stain and gloss in one, combining long-lasting colour with a juicy, glossy shine.
Along with delicious-sounding shades like Vanilla Dew and Cherry Dip, each tint is packed with plant-derived oils and collagen, making your lips look extra soft and bouncy.
9. GHD Glide+ Smoothing Hot Brush, $309
A hot tool that makes life just that bit easier? Right up my alley. ghd’s new and improved Glide+ Smoothing Hot Brush has been reimagined for speed and ease, featuring snag-free bristles that glide through your hair and a faster heat-up time to get you styling sooner.
The method? Brush and go.
