When it comes to replacing items in our beauty cupboard, it's usually done out of necessity. Say, when our favourite foundation finally empties or we're scraping the edges of our concealer bottles.
But, often it's our beauty tools that are not nearly as frequently replaced, not until they're clearly in need of an upgrade (seriously, how long has it been since you've upgraded your makeup sponge?).
If that feeling is all too familiar, here are some beauty tools and accessoires to give your routine a much-needed upgrade.
DAILY BLND
Makeup and coffee, two of our favourite things! Australian beauty brand DAILY BLND creatively combined the two to create their beauty blenders, stored in a coffee-inspired case to add a practical and fun means to store your makeup tools (as well as neatly and hygienically too). Our pick is the brand's DOUBLE BLND, which not only helps you create the perfect base but allows you to take your contouring and highlighting to new heights.
Real Techniques
Known for their high-quality, affordable makeup brushes, sponges and more, Real Techniques has all you need to refresh your toolkit. Why not go for the brand's Flawless Base Set, which comes with everything you need—including a contour brush, detailer brush, buffing brush, square foundation brush, and a matching cup to keep it all organised.
1000HOUR
If your skin has been feeling a little lacklustre with the change of season, 1000HOUR has the tool to step up your skincare. The Exfoliating Wand is an ultrasonic deep cleansing and firming tool that exfoliates the skin and unclogs pores, all while lifting and tightening to make sure all your skincare faves can actually do their job.
TEMPL
You've probably heard all about the incredible benefits of dry body brushing, but have you ever actually given it a whirl? TEMPL's body brush is made from natural walnut wood and plant-based sisal bristles from the agave plant, and will help stimulate the lymphatic system, increase blood circulation and naturally detoxify the skin and body.
Lonvitalite
Salon-fresh results at home? Sign us up. Lonvitalite's Platinum Contour Roller reduces puffiness and inflammation, assists with lymphatic drainage and reduces facial tension, so you can rejuvenate and refresh from the comfort of the couch.
Hairhouse
If there's one area largely overlooked in our beauty routine, it's scalp care. Well, no more thanks to Hairhouse. The brand's Scalp Stimulating Therapy Brush is all you need to give your scalp some extra TLC, with the massaging action known to promote hair growth and remove built-up product.
