Let’s start off with a huge round of applause for all our Best In Beauty winners. And of course we couldn’t do it without our beloved beautyheaven community, so thank you to each and every one of you who took the time to sit down and vote for your favourite products. We had a huge amount of votes come rolling in, so, of course we know running such huge awards means that it’s hard to filter through each and every category (although you can find them listed out neatly here…). That’s precisely why we’ve gone ahead and rounded up six standout winners in categories we think you need to know about.
These are the incredible products that will leave you looking and feeling your very best at all times. If you’ve already tried them out before, go and tell your friends you’re ahead of the game, already knowing and loving the Best In Beauty Winners…
Best In Beauty Winners
Best Face Wipes
Swisspers Earth Kind 3in1 Cleanser Infused Pads- Argan Oil and Vitamin E
We say: What’s better than a two-in-one product? A three-in-one! Yep, we hear you asking: what three things can these seemingly simple swipes do? Well, once activated with a few simple drops of water, these pads work to remove your makeup (even the stubborn waterproof kind), before then hitting skin with a double cleanse to ensure your face is free of nasties. And if that isn’t enough, the pads then utilise their argan oil and vitamin E infusions to hydrate your complexion to the nines, leaving behind well looked after skin, without the millions of products (a big win in our eyes).
You say: “They came neatly packaged in recyclable soft plastic containing 60 dual sided pads which is very handy for travelling light like camping, plane, car or for times when access to water is limited. Just by adding a few drops of water activates the cleanser which gently removes lipstick or makeup. The product is infused with Argan oil and Vitamin E which left my skin effectively refreshed & hydrated. Did not irritate my face so it’s great for sensitive skin.” – beauty2018

Best Makeup Tool
Swisspers Dual Cotton Cosmetic Tips with Paper Stems
We say: Now we bet these (or some variation of them) can already be found in your bathroom cabinet. So what makes this version so top-notch? To start with, the dual-ended tips are made with a mix of sustainably grown (wood) and recycled paper so you know they aren’t making a negative impact on the environment. Next up, the tapered precision tip is able to perfect any accidental makeup mistake or even help to blend out makeup where needed.
You say: “These are versatile and eco-friendly beauty tools, earning a 5-star rating. The dual-ended design caters to various beauty and skincare needs. Their paper stems are biodegradable, contributing to a more sustainable beauty routine. The high-quality cotton tips are gentle and effective. Practical packaging ensures cleanliness and organisation. These tips are a valuable addition to any beauty toolkit, aligning with eco-conscious practices. Overall, Swisspers Dual Cotton Cosmetic Tips with Paper Stems are a top choice for versatile and sustainable beauty tools.” – Jemma128

Best Lip Balm
Dermal Therapy Lip Balm Enriched with Manuka Honey
We say: If you haven’t already heard of this highly concentrated balm, we know you’ve heard of its sister product. And what do these sisters have in common? Well, their incredible ability to moisturise and heal severely dry and chapped lips. With this balm it’s thanks to the healing powers of MGO 400+ manuka honey. Get your hands on this balm before the summer is set to swelter your lips’ hydration away.
You say: “I love the brand and the other lip balms they have. Honey is meant to have medicinal value and good for your skin so I gave this a go. It comes in a standard Dermal tube with an applicator which is a plus no need to use your fingers or try to push the balm by rolling it. I noticed a difference on how soft and moist my lips felt in a very short time with a few applications. It is great for dry chapped lips. Totally love it and recommend it.” – liamt

Best Natural Hands and Feet
Burt’s Bees Botanical Wild Rose and Berry Hand Cream with Shea Butter
We say: Look, if you’re anything like us there isn’t a day that goes by that you don’t slather your hands in a serious coating of hand cream. And while Burt’s Bees might not be the first brand you think of when it comes to hand cream (that’s about to change), they’ve taken out the winners spot and proved they are a serious star in the hand care arena. With all-day moisture and nutrient-rich botanical ingredients, we can see why this flavourful cream is a fan favourite.

Best NZ Homegrown Product
Hemptuary Hemp Nourishing Face & Body Oil
We say: Much like Russle Crowe and pavlova, we’ll be claiming this one as our own because we Aussies are clearly obsessed. Sure Hemptuary’s natural lightweight oil may have won ‘Best NZ Homegrown Product’ but with great success comes Aussie assimilation. So why are we so keen to claim it as ours? Well firstly it’s formulated from natural oils and essential fatty acids (a big sensitive skin win). And secondly, the hydrating, soothing formula can be used day or night to give your skin a much needed plumping boost.
You say: “Currently my eczema is flaring up on the face and I find this not only smells good but also helps soothe the rash. After washing my face, I put on my skincare and seal it all in with this oil. My skin looks softer, more hydrated and calm the next day. Pro: good for you ingredients. Helps nourish and is anti-inflammatory. Gentle on the skin and easy to use packaging (squeeze and drop) for the right amount of product. Con – none.” – Floreview

Best Natural Product for Mum and Baby
Gaia Skin Naturals Baby Massage Oil
We say: Time-poor mums rejoice! There’s finally a product you and your bubs can enjoy. Focusing on making great quality products from natural ingredients, GAIA has formulated this quick-absorbing massage oil. Bound to hydrate and soothe your little one’s skin, it’s also a welcome calming addition to mum’s beauty routine.
You say: “Fantastic product that I recommend to all the parents I work with as an infant massage instructor. It’s safe to use on babies skin as it has a cold pressed almond oil base which means that when it’s absorbed it won’t cause any harm to your baby. The lavender essential oil will help calm your baby and aids sleep. If you use it after a bath and before you settle your baby you will get some lovely one on one time together and a happy relaxed little one. A little bit goes a long way so it lasts a long time and is excellent value for money. Great size too so it can be easily transported. I guarantee you’ll fall in love with this product.” – friz4
