Why I'm adding it to cart...
I could write an essay on how much I love this brow gel.
Not only is it now one of my favourite products of all time, it’s my new favourite brow product (and I truly didn't think anything could rival my other favourite that I've been using religiously for years - but I’ve just changed eyebrow religions).
I love the laminated look it gives and the way I achieve this is by applying some of the gel across my brows first, using both sides to brush up, then use the side of my ring finger to further stroke up and lightly press down the hairs so I can cement that sharp laminated look.
I have honestly never had so many compliments on my eyebrows, including one from a lovely lady who worked in a cool store in Japan I was shopping in and used Google Translate to ask me what I had on my brows.
True to its claim, there’s also no hard crunching or flaking which already makes it a top-tier eyebrow product in my humble opinion.
So I'll be topping up on another one while on sale.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant.
Was: $109 now $77.68.
Fast facts:
- Is a physical exfoliant.
- A rice-based enzyme powder that microfoliates dulling debris and leaves skin noticeably smoother and brighter.
- Gentle enough for daily use.
Why I'm adding it to cart...
One of Dermalogica’s best-selling skincare products, it’s absolutely not surprising that it has garnered over five hundred 5-star reviews on the Adore Beauty website alone.
My mum used this product many years ago and I always remember it leaving her face looking really bright, clear and feeling incredibly smooth afterwards.
I think I’ll grab her one while it's on sale so she can experience those amazing skin results once again.
Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant review from AB Customer Dino:
“I've used this product for more than 10 years, it is my favourite skincare product of all time. It really helps to keep skin brighter and clearer, i enjoy the texture and the bubbly lather, and love that it is gentle enough to use every day.”

Why I'm adding this to cart...
I think I'm due for a new curler, my old one is starting to smell funny as soon as I switch it on - not a good sign.
My ghd straightner has lasted me for years, so I think it's time to perhaps invest in a ghd curler, too.

Why AB Staffer Jas is adding this to cart...
"I’ve just hit pan on my beloved Ole Henriksen Banana Bright+ Eye Crème, so this Afterpay Day proved the perfect opportunity for a top-up! Its Banana Powder-inspired pigments are an excellent mask for tired eyes, helping to colour-correct and illuminate the under-eye while nourishing the skin for a smooth canvas for concealer.

Why AB Staffer Jas is adding this to cart...
"I’m on that savings grind at the moment (boring) so I need my beauty regimen to step it up, work overtime and be able to be maintained without breaking the bank—tough working conditions, I know. But products like Matrix Total Results Miracle Creator make it look easy. This multitasking spray nourishes hair, boosts its shine, smooths its cuticle and reduces breakage, all very important for these coloured locks, especially in winter. Its infusion of coconut and sweet almond oils makes my hair feel softer and healthier, helping to detangle knots and prep my tresses for whatever the day (or I) throws at them."

"I've had my eye on this foundation ever since reading our Senior Beauty Editor Sadaf’s review for Beauty IQ last month. I love the original MAKE UP FOR EVER HD SKIN Foundation, it’s one of my favourite long-wearing formulas for nights out and special occasions, but I am very intrigued by this new lighter formula and its glowy finish, seemingly the perfect match for my dry skin. Suffice it to say she’ll be coming home with me this Afterpay Day."
