About face<br />

From super speedy straighteners and bubblegum-scented rabbit-shaped soaps to<br />

cult celebrity-stamped faves, here’s what the <strong>03</strong> team are testing this month.<br />

1. Model mouth<br />

Cult celeb-endorsed product<br />

alert! Co-created with Kendall<br />

Jenner, MOON’s Oral Beauty<br />

Teeth Whitening Pen ($40 at<br />

Mecca) promises to instantly<br />

brighten and whiten teeth<br />

and freshen breath. As well<br />

as urea peroxide for effective<br />

yet gentle whitening, it<br />

contains ELIXIR III, MOON’s<br />

proprietary blend of lavender<br />

oil, strawberry fruit extract and<br />

honeysuckle flower extract,<br />

and has an addictively delish<br />

mint vanilla flavour. To apply,<br />

just shake, click, smile and<br />

brush on, waiting 30 seconds<br />

before closing your mouth and<br />

10-30 minutes before eating<br />

or drinking.<br />

5. Star colour<br />

We’re always partial to a<br />

little Gwyneth Paltrowendorsed<br />

beauty product,<br />

and as lovers of a neat<br />

and nifty multi-tasker are<br />

already putting her latest,<br />

GOOP Colour Balm<br />

($62 at Mecca, pictured<br />

in Slipper), to work<br />

whenever we need a lush<br />

low-key hit of healthylooking,<br />

creamy colour.<br />

Infused with vitamins C<br />

and E, this multipurpose<br />

hydrating balm adds an<br />

effortless pop of sheer,<br />

buildable colour wherever<br />

you need it, with a subtle<br />

blurring effect and no<br />

pore-clogging cakeyness.<br />

4. Easter rocks<br />

Lush never lets us down when it<br />

comes to fun yet still efficacious<br />

products, and this Rock Star Rabbit<br />

Soap ($15) is no exception. Adorable,<br />

pink and bubblegum-scented, it’s part<br />

of Lush’s limited edition Easter release<br />

and is rich in Fair Trade organic cocoa<br />

butter and organic virgin coconut<br />

oil for a decadently softening and<br />

cleansing lather.<br />

2. Smooth operator<br />

Touted as the holy grail of<br />

hair styling, ghd’s Chronos<br />

Hair Straightener ($500)<br />

is the innovative brand’s<br />

most advanced styler<br />

to date. Named for the<br />

goddess of time, Chronos<br />

works a stunning three<br />

times faster than previous<br />

takes on the tool,<br />

without the compromise<br />

of damage. The brand<br />

spanking new HDresponsive<br />

technology<br />

allows this slick device to<br />

act super fast for onestroke<br />

results while still<br />

offering up to 85 percent<br />

more shine and triple the<br />

breakage protection.<br />

3. Buffy the dead skin slayer<br />

Gentle enough for everyday use,<br />

Dr LeWinn’s latest cleanser release,<br />

Daily Polishing Powder ($65) contains<br />

niacinamide to visibly brighten and<br />

even out skin tone, restore moisture<br />

and soften fine lines and salicylic acid<br />

to dissolve deeper into the pores and<br />

exfoliate dead skin cells. To use, dispense<br />

into very wet hands to create a milky<br />

paste by rubbing hands together. Apply<br />

to face in circular motions, massage gently<br />

for one minute, then rinse thoroughly.
