Another month has come and gone which means only one thing: it is beauty roundup time! 

In September, the Mamamia team tried and tested plenty of new (and new to us) skincare, makeup, haircare and body care products that are getting us prepped and primed for the warmer months ahead. 

Here you’ll find reviews of the best beauty products that launched in September, as well as the old favourites we’ve rediscovered and fallen back in love with.

Before we get into it, listen to Mamamia's daily beauty podcast, You Beauty. Post continues after audio.

who is elijah HIS | HER 10ML, $45.

"I now understand why so many people love this perfume - it's become my everyday go-to. As the name implies, it's a unisex fragrance that's clean, fresh, warm, and floral (if that makes sense). This travel size is perfect because I always forget perfume before rushing out the door, and since it's strong, it lasts me ages." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Dior Diorshow On Set Brow (in 03 Brown), $48.

"Please meet my newest brow obsession! This tinted gel makes styling my brows in the morning so easy. I usually mess around with pencils and gels but this all-in-one formula has everything looking tidy and lifted in seconds - you just swipe and go. It's spendy, but I'm loving it." - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Weleda Skin Food Light, $26.95.

"I've finally jumped on the Weleda Skin Food train and have drunk the cool-aid. I'm using the 'light' one because the texture of the regular one was too thick. It's hydrating and sits well under makeup." - Clare O'Halloran, Podcast Producer.

Coco & Eve Sunny Honey Bronzing Face Drops Medium Glow, $39.99.

"I've also been using it with Coco & Eve face tanning drops every morning and loving myself sick. Gives me a bit of colour but not too much!" - Clare O'Halloran, Podcast Producer.

Lanolips 101 Ointment Multi-Balm Dulce de Leche Gelato, $14.95.

"Lanolips is back with another Messina collab and... *drools*. The new limited edition balm combined the best of both worlds: the iconic Original 101 Ointment mixed with MESSINA's cult caramel flavour. I'm obsessed." - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Ellis Faas Skin Veil Foundation, $108.

"A bittersweet find for me! I went into Mecca to re-buy my ol' faithful Nars foundation. The woman working there recommended I try the Ellis Faas Skin Veil foundation as she thought it'd match my skin tone better - she was right. The colour is so much better for me and the coverage is perfect, I would say it's medium which is my preference, but easily buildable. The bitter part of this is that it's $108. RIP wallet." - Talia Philips, Strategy Manager.

Tbh Patch It Up Everyday Patches, $20.

"When I get stressed, I love a good pick of my pimples, but that leaves scars. So, when I get that urge, I reach for these - they stay on all night and my spots look noticeably smaller by the morning. I'm onto my second lot of them." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Glo Skin Beauty Beta-Clarity AHA Clarifying Peel, $85.

"Peels used to scare me. Heaps. But then I started using Glo Skin Beauty's Hydra-Bright AHA Glow Peel during COVID and officially became a convert (I was obsessed and went through a bunch of their kits!). They recently dropped a newbie - Beta-Clarity AHA Clarifying Peel - and I couldn't wait to get it on my face. It works to decongest, exfoliate and brighten the skin (it uses a blend of mandelic acid and salicylic acid), and as someone who has been experiencing a lotta breakouts recently, this is what I'm using to get my skin back in shape." - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Youth to the People Triple Peptide + Cactus Oasis Serum, $88, and Superberry Hydrate + Glow Dream Mask, $25.

"I now have a nighttime skin routine thanks to my new addiction to Youth to the People. I use this cactus serum after I wash my face and then drown myself in this thiccccck cream. I've been waking up looking less grey and knackered and more dewy, plump and awake. Praise be!" - Katie Stow, Evening Editor.

"This is the prettiest foundation I own! I wear the shade medium beige and it lasts so well. It’s a really nice coverage but still lets my skin breathe! I love it very much." - Shannen Findlay, Editorial Assistant.

"I second this! I've been wearing this foundation and honestly, it's become my go-to. I wore it on holidays and it's lightweight with just enough coverage while giving me that glowy finish!" - Mikayla Floriano, Podcast Producer.

First Aid Beauty Face Cleanser, $36.

"Has anyone else's skin freaked the f**k out since changing seasons? Mine isn't happy. I've started using this creamy cleanser though, which has helped it dramatically. My dry patches are easing, leaving my face more balanced, and it removes all traces of makeup." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Too Faced Better Than Sex Liquid Liner Chocolate, $24.

"I'm back on the brown liquid liner wagon and I'm absolutely in love with this new easy-to-use pen from Too Faced. It has a super precise tip that gives you the sharpest and tightest wing every time, plus it's totally smudge-proof. Definitely recommend!" - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Clinique Moisture Surge 100 Hour Auto-Replenishing Hydrator, $70.

Charlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Concealer, $49.

"I just need to take a minute to tell you how bloody surprised I was that I liked this! My first impression was that it was much thicker and way more matte than I thought it would be - which immediately made me think it's wouldn't fare well with my dry skin. But I was wrong! It's lovely and lightweight and really brightening. A little goes a long way, but I haven't stopped using it since it landed on my desk! You can read my full review here." - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Brow Code Brow Tint Kit, $49.95.

"I got bored the other day, so I decided to tint my brows - how hard could it be? Not hard at all with this kit. I read the instructions, mixed the two products together and left it on my brows for five minutes. My eyebrows are a light brown compared to my dark roots and now after tinting, they match. I'll definitely be doing it again when they fade." - Charlotte Begg, Lifestyle Writer.

Cancer Council Face Day Wear Serum SPF50+, $25.

"Yes! The Cancer Council just launched an SPF serum! Because of the rules and regulations around speaking about personal recommendations of sunscreen, I can't give you a proper review. But this hydrating serum with ingredients like hyaluronic acid and vitamin E is definitely worth knowing about."  - Erin Docherty, Senior Beauty and Health Writer.

Fancy Face Nourishing Oil Cleanser, $45.

"This oil cleanser is probably my favourite product I own, the formula is so nice and it is great at removing makeup. I am onto my sixth bottle and am about to run out so will be picking up a new one ASAP. I have recommended this to friends that have been skeptical because they weren't sure how it would work with their oily skin and they are now hooked!" - Lisa Panetta, Partner Integration Executive.
