Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask

“I am obsessed with the Biodance Bio Collagen Real Deep Mask. You can buy one for $10 or the four-pack for $24. I go to bed with it on every Sunday night, and wake up every Monday morning with glowy, hydrated skin. It’s become such a big part of my skincare routine that I can go longer between facials now because it keeps my skin feeling plump and refreshed for longer.” - Carina

“This lip oil is so nourishing, smells amazing and has great colour payoff, and it’s always on sale somewhere.” - Maddi
L’Oréal Paris Magic CC Cream Anti-Redness
L’Oréal Paris Magic CC Cream Anti-Redness L’Oréal Paris
“The L’Oréal Paris Magic CC Cream Anti-Redness is often half price for $14.49. I don’t use foundation but apply a small amount of this on my cheeks to cover up redness. As I use so little, a bottle can last me a year.” - Jess
Eco Style Style Gel Olive Oil

“I’m a big slick-back hair fan. If I’m going on a run, or my hair is greasy, or I simply can’t be bothered to style it, the slick-back look is always my go-to. Not only does this tub last ages, but it gives my hair a shiny, moisturised look without and crisping or crunching.” - Siena

Dermal Therapy Lip Balm Sensitive
Dermal Therapy Lip Balm Sensitive Dermal Therapy
“Dermal Therapy lip balm is the GOAT, and it’s literally under $5 when it’s on sale, so I don’t care if I am constantly replacing it because mine goes missing. I’ve been getting the sensitive one, as my toddler likes to steal mine, and this one ‘isn’t spicy’, but also it does the job and actually is a really good lip balm.” - Amy
Poni Volume Please Mascara Black

“The L’Oréal Serum Foundation is honestly, remarkably similar to the Victoria Beckham one. Also, the Maybelline Ink Crayons are very similar to Haus Labs, and I think they stay on better.” - Sarah

Klorane Dry Shampoo with Oat & Ceramide Klorane
“The Klorane Dry Shampoo With Oat & Ceramide is the best of the bunch for dry shampoo. It works like a charm, and the powder is so fine you’ll barely notice it - you get none of the chalky feel some other brands leave you with.” - Kahla
