It's time for another edition of beauty editor favourites – and September has brought its A-game so far.
After a week off work and a hospital stay thanks to a surprise appendicitis (that, I do not recommend), there have been some key products helping me feel slightly more human again.
It's all been about hydration, hydration, hydration! From mists, serums, toners, and masks, I have been upping the moisture game big time.
Keep reading to find out why these eight products have made their way to the top of the class...
Summer Fridays Jet Lag™ Skin Soothing Hydration Mist – I took this into hospital, and let me tell you it had a workout!

I have been reaching for this throughout the day when I'm feeling flushed, dry or just in need of a little pick-me-up.

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask in Berry – This lip treatment has not left my bedside table. Not only does it smell amazing, it has a moreish quality that keeps me coming back time and time again. It has helped nourish and hydrate my dry lips, and smells divine.

Bubble Cosmic Silk Hydrating Milky Toner – I was lucky enough to get my hands on the new milky toner from Bubble, and I've been reaching for it every day since. The white, milky texture is very reminiscent of a certain glazing milk we can't get in Australia, making this the perfect alternative if you're looking for an accessible option. It leaves my skin plump and dewy – the perfect base before makeup. It's hitting Priceline shelves from September 25th – mark your calendars.

Formulated with added 24k gold, Juvevelen™ peptide and energising ginseng extract, it instantly brightens the skin and locks in moisture. The ultimate hack for looking like I've had sleep, when in fact, I haven't.

PHLUR Heavy Cream Hair And Body Mist – In exciting beauty news this month, PHLUR entered the Australian market for the first time, available to shop via MECCA. I have been dying to sniff every single scent for the longest time, so I let out a squeal when a few selections landed on my desk. My pick has to be Heavy Cream – a milky impression of decadent sweetness. A swirl of whipped gourmands come to life while bright citrus and luminous florals envelop the skin. It is sweet and silky, yet light as air.
