5 Feel-Good Beauty Buys We Want Right Now

Consider these an instant mood boost.

There’s no time like the start of a new season to give your beauty routine a bit of a refresh.

And while we hardly need a reason to treat ourselves to something new (because, let’s face it, we deserve it) there are some products that offer up an extra ‘feel-good’ factor when we click ‘add to cart’.

From nail polish inspired by nature to high-performance skincare, we’ve rounded up the mood-boosting buys at the top of our wish lists right now.

The Triple-Threat Of Serums

Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum High-Performance Anti-Aging Concentrate
Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum High-Performance Anti-Aging Concentrate, 50mL, $191, available at Myer.

As we approach a new season with the temperature dropping and the air drying, our skin could use a little extra love. Lancôme Rénergie H.C.F. Triple Serum High-Performance Anti-Aging Concentrate utilises a triple-threat of dermatological active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, C+ niacinamide and ferulic acid) to restore skin, layer by layer. The innovative design protects the ingredients from light, air and impurities so your skin receives only the most potent serum each and every use.

The highly concentrated serum improves skin volumetry and quality, visibly reduces fine lines and corrects dark spots, in as early as four weeks. How’s that for feel-good?

The ‘Perfect’ Perfume

Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum
Marc Jacobs Perfect Eau de Parfum, 100mL, $190, available at Myer.

A scent that celebrates optimism, self-acceptance and originality? We’re in. 

A bright and feminine fragrance, Perfect Marc Jacobs Eau de Parfum is inspired by the personal mantra of Marc Jacobs himself: “I am perfect as I am”.

Described as a ‘scent for adventurous souls’, it starts with a flood of fragrant notes (think tangy and mouth-watering rhubarb), followed by a creamy, almond milk heart and a mellow cedarwood finish.

As an added bonus, it looks as good as it smells, with a marshmallow pink bottle topped with an eccentric collection of charms for an adorable addition to your shelf.

Nails, The Natural Way

OPI Nature Strong Nail Lacquer in Let Nature Take It’s Quartz
OPI Nature Strong Nail Lacquer in Let Nature Take It’s Quartz, $22.95, available at Myer.

With bold colours rooted in nature, OPI has introduced its first plant-based, natural-origin nail lacquer. The Nature Strong by OPI collection features 30 shades inspired by nature, formulated with plant-based ingredients derived from sugar cane, manioc, wheat, potatoes and corn.

With the same signature quirky monikers we’re used to (like Let Nature Take It’s Quartz, a pale rose pink), the vegan formula is still as easy to apply, quick-drying, and long-lasting as ever.

Back-Up For Your Brows

Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero-Perfect Eyebrow Gel
Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero-Perfect Eyebrow Gel, $39, available at Myer.

Whether you just want to tame a few stray hairs, or increase the overall volume of your brows, this gel is about to become your new best friend.

Ere Perez Argan Brow Hero-Perfect Eyebrow Gel harnesses the powers of argan oil, fatty acids, omega 3 and 6, vitamin E and antioxidants to condition and boost your brows. The tiny vegan fibres adhere to skin and hair to fill in any gaps and build a fuller look—perfect for those days when you want to look polished with minimal makeup.

A Mask That Works While You Sleep

Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel
Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel, $129, available at Myer.

The philosophy behind Alpha-H is simple: your skin deserves the very best.

Alpha-H Beauty Sleep Power Peel is an overnight resurfacing treatment, containing glycolic acid and retinal to boost collagen and stimulate cellular renewal to reduce the signs of ageing, scarring and wrinkles.

Bidding farewell to dry, dehydrated sleep as we sleep truly is what dreams are made of.
