As the local beauty industry has returned to its former glory with drops by the day, we have taken it into our hands to talk weekly about some of the best beauty launches. Some are noteworthy for their instant results, while others are special simply because they make us feel and look good while looking good themselves.
Here, the top 10 beauty launches that landed on GRAZIA’s beauty desk or piqued our interest this week.
Pictured Above: Chanel Le Vernis Nail Colour in 163 Été Indien and 165 Bois Des Îles, $46
How do you show that you’re ready to transition from hot girl summer to cosy fall girl without the usual tropes like a pumpkin spice latte, furry shoes or…sweatpants? The answer is at your fingertips with two new Le Vernis shades called 163 Été Indien (Indian Summer, a cheery and almost retro-like orange) and 165 Bois Des Îles (Wood Of the Islands, a moody brownish red). Both also have a new formula that while on the thicker side, completely coats your nails in a gorgeous lacquered finish with just one swipe.
Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest Mascara
Could Benefit have launched a mascara that’s even better than ‘They’re Real!’? Well, it depends on the look you’re going for. Fan Fest boasts a more dramatic look from root to tip and corner to corner that lasts up to 24 hours. Its high performance also extends to its conditioning formula of Provitamin 5 and cranberry extract, which leaves stronger, thicker lashes even when removed.
Orbis Overnight Whitening Gel EX
I believe the Japanese brand meant to use the word brightening instead as this fragrance-free cream generously infuses the skin with vitamin C and moisturising agents to rapidly fade pigmentation instead of unfortunately turning you many shades lighter. It also contains a “wrapping effect” that ensures it absorbs immediately without leaving any stickiness that can stain sheets.

RATIONALE #3 The Enriched Eye Crème SPF 15
We will never say no to an eye product that doubles up as both a nourishing salve and a highlighting cream but what has us really going “yes, please!” is RATIONALE’s version that also has the benefits of SPF protection and an energising Capri-Sun orange juice-like smell.
