Welcome to The Nook’s Beauty Edit. We’ve put together a curated collection of the products we’ve been loving, testing… or just can’t stop talking about really. These are the latest standouts worth knowing about, no fluff, just our honest picks to help you look and feel your best over the winter months.
Trinny London’s Take Back Time Elixir has officially landed in Australia and New Zealand, available both online and in store. Described as their most advanced skincare innovation yet, this universal, fragrance-free elixir is clinically proven to repair and strengthen the skin barrier in just 30 minutes, while delivering 48 hours of deep hydration.
Powered by next-gen ingredients – including antioxidant-rich artichoke polyphenols, a Pro-Vitamin Lipid Complex and pharmaceutical-grade micro-infusion technology – it targets vascular ageing and revitalises dull, tired-looking skin.
“There are days when our skin looks tired and dull – and that makes us feel tired and dull. I wanted to create something that delivers an instant transformation, using advanced ingredients and micro-infusion technology to restore skin vitality,” says Trinny Woodall, Founder & CEO.
Mukti’s Red Velvet Body Oil is a luxe, fast-absorbing dry oil designed to deeply hydrate and restore the skin, leaving it soft, smooth and luminous. Packed with sustainably sourced ingredients like tomato seed oil, prickly pear and bio-fermented sugarcane squalane, it nourishes without feeling greasy.
This antioxidant-rich formula supports skin elasticity, helps improve texture and may even reduce the appearance of cellulite and stretch marks – making it a standout in any self-care routine.
We’ve been testing out Clinique’s Moisture Surge™ Active Glow Serum and it’s just delightful. It’s the first serum in the cult-favourite Moisture Surge range – designed to exfoliate, hydrate and brighten for an instant, lasting glow.
Formulated with 5% lactic acid, hyaluronic acid and vitamin C, this lightweight, milky serum is gentle enough for all skin types (even sensitive) and works to smooth, plump and boost radiance. It absorbs quickly, layers easily and leaves skin feeling fresh, hydrated and visibly glowing.
Antipodes’ Aura Gold Manuka Honey Radiance Mask is a luxe, creamy treatment packed with natural actives to hydrate, brighten and revitalise skin. Featuring mānuka honey, vitamin C from Kakadu plum, AHAs from lime caviar and plant-based hyaluronic acid, it works to exfoliate, plump and promote a luminous, healthy glow.
Ceramides strengthen the skin barrier, while ethically sourced mānuka honey helps lock in moisture and target blemishes. Plus, there’s a beautiful story behind the honey used – read the full story here.
