No surprises here but we love online shopping.
With just a click of a button, you can get everything and anything delivered straight to your door. We love the convenience.
But when you shop for a living (yes, sorry we know our jobs are … hard), it takes something truly amazing to wow us. Only the best will do!
So when we find something we love, we want to shout about it. And that’s what we’re doing here.
From the Mejuri Bold Huggie Hoops that over 2000 reviewers have awarded five-stars to the $13 Stress Relief colouring book that’s helping put some “me-time” back in our days, here’s what the news.com.au checkout team has been loving lately.
Happy shopping!
Bold Huggie Hoops, $278 at Mejuri
“As a birthday treat I ordered these Mejuri Bold Huggie Hoops that over 2000 reviewers have awarded five-stars. They’re solid 14 karat gold (so I can wear them forever and ever without them tarnishing) and are fairly priced if you look at similar items on the market (which I did). You’ll score free shipping on these, they have a two year warranty and they are the perfect everyday earrings to add a little something-something without being heavy or annoying. Yes, you can sleep in them, too. After four months or use I can highly recommend these.” – Edwina Carr Barraclough, Senior Manager Ecommerce Content and Strategy
Stress Relief: Adult Coloring Book, $13.95 at Amazon
“As someone who is often stressed and nearly always glued to a screen, I’ve been on a mission to find hobbies that both give my eyes a break and help me unwind a bit. After a friend recommended adult colouring books, I picked up this aptly titled Stress Relief book (along with a bunch of Ohuhu Markers) and set aside some time each night to give it a go. I have to admit, I felt pretty silly when I first started, but now it’s something I actually look forward to after a long day. I’ve got a whole routine down – brew a hot cup of tea, throw on my headphones and a face mask, and get stuck in. It’s a great way to put a little ‘me-time’ back into my day and have some fun in the process.” – Lauren Chaplin, Consumer Technology Reporter
frank green Ceramic Reusable Bottle (1000ml), $59.95 at frank green
“I’ve had this drink bottle since Christmas 2019 when my aunty gave it to me as a present and I still use it every day. I don’t want to be *that* person who likes to prove how before the trends they were but I’m simply saying this bottle will seriously last. It keeps my water so cold plus it’s also just so aesthetic. While mine may have been dropped a few times so it doesn’t look quite brand new, considering it has been used every day of the year for almost four years, I’m very impressed. It is definitely well worth the investment.” – Philippa Tonkin, Shopping Writer
CeraVe Hydrating Cream To Foam Cleanser, $21.49 at Chemist Warehouse
“I’m a huge fan of CeraVe products. Originally, I was using the CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser, but then I found the Hydrating Cream-to-Foam Cleanser! I was pretty excited and I have to say, it’s living up to my CeraVe expectations and is definitely what I’ve been loving this month. It removes makeup and cleanses without drying out my skin – and that little bit more of a cleansing foam is very satisfying. Plus, it’s so reasonably priced, I’m saving money while I cleanse – win-win!” – Susannah Hardy, Parenting Shopping Writer
The Ordinary Soothing & Barrier Support Serum, $29 at Sephora
“I’m calling it, 2023 is the year of Barbie and this fabulous pink serum from The Ordinary has arrived in perfect timing. Yes, it really is hot pink and when you apply it to the skin, it promises to repair and strengthen your skin barrier. Lipids and a range of vitamins work hard to hydrate the skin, reduce redness and keep your skin looking and feeling super healthy and glowy. And again, it’s a hot pink serum, so what’s there not to love?” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Kathmandu Co-Z High Pile Women’s Jacket, $199.98, at Kathmandu
“It might be spring but the weather is still definitely frosty in parts, especially early in the morning. I went away last weekend to Canberra, and the weather there is crisp, but not quite cold enough to justify a jacket or coat. Instead I brought my Co-Z High Pile Women’s Jacket which is perfect for transeasonal weather. The fleece is so cosy I never wanted to take it off and it kept me warm without overheating. Plus I love this cream colour as it’s so easy to match with what I already have in my wardrobe.” – Hannah Paine, news.com.au checkout Editor
Olaplex Volumizing Blow Dry Mist, $54 at Sephora
“When it came to doing my hair I always thought that I could only put in heat protectant before using the tools, limiting the volume and buoyancy of the output. All this has changed for me in the last week now that I’m using the Olaplex Volumizing Blow Dry Mist that gives me lightweight volume and protection from heat and humidity. A slayful and magical product for the summer!” – Kriti Gupta, eCommerce Social Media Lead
Crop Shop Boutique Serenity Lexi Crop, $63.99 at Crop Shop Boutique
“I’ve been purchasing Crop Shop Boutique for a few months now and my most recent buy has been one of my absolute favourites. The Serenity Lexi crop is so, so pretty – the unique back design looks so nice and flattering, and I am utterly obsessed. I wear it on walks, when I’m weightlifting or for a pilates class. I will say that it does have low support, so if that’s something you need in a sports bra, I probably wouldn’t recommend this one to you.” – Marina Tatas, Shopping Writer
Dazie Catty Cargo Tailored Pants, $53.99 (down from $89.99) at THE ICONIC
“As someone who LIVES in cargo pants, I’ve finally found the perfect pair that works well on the weekends but are also appropriate to wear at your office job. The taupe colour is also really versatile and I love that I can dress it down with a plain white tee and sneakers or dress it up with a cute top and heels. Prepare to see this on high rotation over the next few months.” – Claudio Coy, eCommerce Social Media Editor
“Novo is my go-to for trendy shoes but at affordable prices and this spring season, they have not disappointed. I love a chunky sandal as they’re just super comfy to walk around in and give a lil edge to an outfit. I am obsessed with the colourway of these Taffy sandals – a lovely cream colour that goes with absolutely every outfit. They are beyond comfortable too! I could and have walked in them all day. I honestly spent so long tossing up between the Black, Sand and Cream colour that I think I’ll go right ahead and get the Black colour too.” – Melody Teh, news.com.au checkout Deputy Editor
