But we’ll be real with you: you could be scrolling for days if you go in unprepared. So, to save you a little time (and make sure you end up with only the elite stuff), we’ve selected five offerings from the e-tailer’s best-selling beauty products that we ourselves wouldn’t mind adding to cart...

Beautifully buffed and shiny nails are just a speedy polish away with this cordless salon experience. Using one of the five interchangeable attachments you can shape and remove untidy cuticles and calluses, or use the UV dryer to get that salon-finish gel manicure at home.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
