And boy have we shopped a lot lately. From the $80 Target trench that’s an exact dupe of a Camilla and March trench (that’s a cool $750 FYI) to the $25 tote bag that can fit everything in it, as well as the newly launched Rare Beauty skincare line (yep, Selena is doing skincare now!), here’s everything the news.com.au has been loving lately.
Happy shopping!
Neijiaer Fly Fans for Tables (2 pack), $39.99 at Amazon
“Why are flies so pesky this year? Have there always been so many? Questions I have asked myself this summer – I know, rock n roll. Anyway, I bought these fly fans with my own money so I don’t have to use the daggy net food covers when cooking or hosting and I love ‘em. They’re just so good looking and not a fly in sight. Plus the blade is nice and soft so no risk to digits. Can’t take a good picture of them to save myself but trust me, for $30 for two you can’t go past this ~ actual ~ game changer.” – Kara Byers, Partnerships Editor
Oversized Trench Coat – Lily Loves, $80 at Target
“This could be the dupes to end all dupes. Target recently released this oversized trench coat ($80) and it looks super similar to the Camilla & Marc one ($750) I’ve had my eyes on for months. As someone who loves a bargain, I couldn’t be happier to have saved $680 while still achieving that effortless, Kourtney-Kardashian-inspired, change-of-season, cool-girl look. I have a feeling this trench will be sold out very soon …” – Claudia Coy, Social Media Producer
Moonelo Everything Tote Bag, $24.91 at Amazon
“This month, I’m loving the Moonelo Everything Bag – or should I say my 16-year-old daughter is loving the Moonelo Everything Bag. After seeing it on Instagram, we decided to give it a go and it’s fab. Made of canvas, it’s strong and durable but best of all, it has a variety of internal sections – two main compartments and two other pockets – so everything is neatly stored and easy to find. There’s a spot for your water bottle, wallet, phone, even a laptop. It’s also super cute and goes with just about any outfit you put together, plus it has an adjustable strap to wear over your shoulder. A great work bag – when I can get my hands on it!” – Susannah Hardy, Parenting Shopping Writer
Rare Beauty Find Comfort Hydrating Body Lotion, $55 at Sephora
“I’ve been a fan of every Rare Beauty product I’ve tried so I had high hopes for the brand’s new skincare range. After trialling the body lotion for several weeks now I can say it well and truly lives up to the hype. It’s somehow light but ultra nourishing, absorbs into the skin quickly and has a pleasant rosy scent that doesn’t overpower any perfumes you’re wearing. After using it consistently once a day for three weeks I noticed my skin was feeling more hydrated and supple, especially areas where I am prone to dryness like my elbows and heels. My one complaint would be that I find it hard to get out of the bottle sometimes as the thick product gets stuck. I would have much preferred a tub for easier access.” – Hannah Paine, news.com.au checkout Editor
Alpha-H Melting Moment Cleansing Balm with Australian Flannel Flower, $69.95 at Adore Beauty
“We all know and love this iconic cleansing balm from Alpha-H. But if you weren’t aware, they’ve dropped a new limited edition colour and scent – and it is to die for. The luxe sage green cleansing balm is the same formula, so it’s going to do an amazing job at removing your makeup, but it now comes in a gorgeous green tub to match the green product inside. It’s also formulated with Australian Flannel Flower which not only gives it a really comforting scent but is packed with antioxidants to take care of your skin.” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Kiehl’s Magic Elixir Hair Restructuring Concentrate with Rosemary Leaf and Avocado, $53 at Kiehl’s
“I suffer from a really dry and itchy scalp, and this Kiehl’s Magic Elixir has been the only product that has helped keep the itchiness and dryness at bay. It’s a lightweight oil that’s formulated with a combination of oils including rosemary seed oil, avocado oil and safflower oil. It doesn’t have an insanely strong scent and it’s super easy to apply.” – Harriet Amurao, Shopping Writer
“When I was offered the chance to test out the Koh Spray Mop, I jumped at the opportunity – because if there’s one chore I hate with a passion, it’s mopping. Sure it makes your home feel nice and clean, but the whole process of dragging the mop and bucket around the house is not my favourite past-time. The Koh Spray Mop is an absolute gamechanger. The ‘bucket’ is attached to the mop and just by the click of a button, you can spritz your floor cleaner and mop whatever you need. It’s super lightweight and portable, so it’s great if you need to mop a spill in a hurry. It also dries super fast and I love that it comes with different mop heads that you can interchange and machine wash as you need. How brilliant!” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Fire TV Stick 4K Max, $69 (down from $119) at Amazon
“As someone who loves to rot on the couch after work, this Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K is my new favourite home addition. All I had to do was plug it into the HDTV input on my TV and I was able to access all of my favourite streaming services with the included remote. Given that I have a ‘dumb’ TV without all the bells and whistles of newer models, it saved me the hassle of having to go through my gaming consoles to access Netflix, etc – and all at the fraction of the cost of a smart TV.” – Lauren Chaplin, Consumer Technology Reporter
Penelope Drop Earrings Bundle, $99.95 at Gimme
“I have finally jumped on the Bottega Veneta earring dupes with this gorgeous pair by local Aussie jewellery brand Gimme. My ears are sensitive to cheap earrings so I couldn’t jump on the trend earlier with the pairs my colleagues got from Amazon. Made from gold-plated stainless steel these earrings are hypo-allergenic and a perfect subtle statement for everyday. They also look much more expensive than they are – I’m obsessed!” – Hannah Paine, news.com.au checkout Editor
Banbe The Jasmine Sunglasses, $79.95 at THE ICONIC
“These are the sunnies you need. Trust me. The perfect blend between oval/90s vibe and timeless – these sunnies are currently the most versatile pair in my collection. I dressed them up at a fancy event last week and then matched them with my jeans at a low-key backyard BBQ on the weekend. I’m in love.” – Claudia Coy, eCommerce Social Media Producer
Nike P-6000 Women’s, $160 at Nike
“As a sneaker gal, I’ve normally gravitated towards a pair of Jordans or Dunks, so the new P-6000 is something really different for me, but it nails that ‘dad look’ so, so well. They offer that cool chunky vibe, all while feeling super comfortable and supportive. I also love the colourway – it’s got a mix of white, cream, black and surprisingly silver which gives a nice pop to outfits.” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Mid Rise Briefs, $9.90 at Uniqlo
“I never thought I’d be recommending underwear but here we are. Looking for something that’s going to feel comfortable, supportive and are the perfect fit for everyday? The Mid Rise Briefs from Uniqlo are a recent purchase that I am so happy I made. They’re also insanely affordable, I’ll admit that I now own multiple colours.” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 3 Portable Bluetooth Speaker, $119 (down from $149.95) at Amazon
“I’m the kind of person who always has something on in the background. TV, music, child screaming (you get the point). I tend to use my Google Home for music around the house but hate that it can’t follow me around which is why I’m loving the Wonderboom 3 right now. It’s super small and exceptionally easy to set up – you just hit the pairing button and bam! Instant music. The bass for something so tiny is phenomenal and it’s waterproof, dustproof and can be dropped from 1.5 metres which is bonus for a butter fingers like me. Highly recommend for music lovers.” – Stephanie Yip, eCommerce Travel Writer
Endota Live Well Essential Oil Diffuser, $80 at Endota
“As my partner frequently tells me, I have a nose of a bloodhound so I always like having some sort of aroma wafting in the apartment, whether that’s a candle, room spray or a diffuser. What can I say, I love nice scents! I got this diffuser from my favourite spa Endota last year and I love it. Not only is it aesthetic and elegant in design, it’s super functional. It lights up (and there are different light settings for the ambience you want to create) and it has a two timer setting (two or four hours), with the diffuser automatically turning itself off once the minimum water level is reached.” – Melody Teh, news.com.au checkout Deputy Editor
Arms of Eve Arabella Gold Hoop Earrings, $98 at THE ICONIC
“When it comes to jewellery, I tend to wear the same pieces every day and then have the odd piece I will wear when I’m feeling fancy. But this pair from Arms of Eve strikes the perfect balance. I can wear to work and not feel too OTT but also I’ve happily worn them out at night with no issues either. With a 20mm diameter, they’re a great size while the crushed gold exterior ensures they’re a bit different than your regular hoops.” – Philippa Tonkin, Shopping Writer
Abrand Carrie Britt Rip Recycled Jeans in Mid Vintage Blue, $149.95 at Glue
“I have my fair share of ‘mum jeans’ and I have a couple of slim fit pants as well but I’ve been on the look out for the perfect baggy jean for a while now. These Carrie Denim Jeans Britt Rip Recycled in Blue tick all my boxes – they sit super high on the waist, provide a baggy fit and have a slight edge of cool with the rips at the knee. I ended up wearing them to the Blink 182 concert with a fitted top and got heaps of compliments!” – Claudia Coy, eCommerce Social Media Producer
