Consider your fragrance game officially upgraded. By Yuliya has just dropped a Solid Fragrance Balm Compact ($68.00) and it’s everything we love in a beauty essential: refillable, portable, and impossibly pretty. Encased in a glossy gold compact that feels like jewellery for your makeup bag, this balm is made to be seen and swiped.

Inside? Two of the brand’s signature scents: Twin Flame and Twenty Four Seven, both interchangeable and infused with skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin E, Coconut Oil, and Sweet Almond Oil. The balms glide on like a dream, leaving behind a warm trail of jasmine, musk, and creamy sandalwood. 

It’s already earning a cult following, with the “People’s Perfume Princess” Gem Dimond giving it her stamp of approval in a recent fragrance video. And we get it. No alcohol, no parabens - just a clean, hydrating scent designed to slip into your day as effortlessly as your morning matcha. It’s modern fragrance, but make it wearable. And refillable. And really, really cute.

File this under: lip care that feels like self-care. Barry M Beauty has just dropped two new collections that are equal parts nourishing and delicious - and yes, they’re as dreamy as they sound.

First up, the Soufflé Lip Scrubs ($14.95): whipped, fruit-scented pots of joy designed to buff and soften with a blend of jojoba, avocado, and coconut oils. Available in flavours like Pink Grapefruit, Blackcurrant, Watermelon, and Mango, they’re basically a smoothie for your lips - and they smell as good as they feel.

Then there’s the Lip Rehab Duo ($26.00) - a tinted balm-meets-treatment hybrid that gives buttery hydration and a subtle pop of colour in one go. Flavours like Very Cherry, Toasted Vanilla, and Raspberry Refresh are giving Rhode-adjacent energy - but at a fraction of the price.

Vegan, cruelty-free, and already available at barrym.com.au and Adore Beauty (with Priceline coming soon), these glossy little power players are here to earn their spot in your handbag, bathroom shelf, and backseat beauty stash. Basically: your lips’ new daily uniform.

Balancing Motherhood, Medicine, and 

Juggling a demanding medical career, three children, and a wellness startup hasn’t just influenced Dr. Girgis’s work ethic, it’s shaped Innour’s product development. “I don’t have time for products that overpromise and underdeliver,” she says. “Everything has to be efficient, effective, and genuinely backed by results.”

That same ethos extends to the brand’s sustainability commitments. Innour’s marine collagen is Friend of the Sea certified, ensuring it’s sourced responsibly from a variety of fish species to prevent strain on any single population. It’s an extra step that reflects Dr. Girgis’s long-term vision: a brand that doesn’t just support inner health, but also the health of the planet.
