1. Dermalogica's latest essential for clear skin
It doesn’t matter what age you are, pesky pimples and blemishes can sneak up on you when you least expect it. From lifestyle changes — such as diet and lack of sleep – to hormonal fluctuations, breakouts can show up on your complexion for various reasons.
Whatever the cause may be, Dermalogica’s very clever Clear Start Breakout Clearing Peel gets to work quick smart to make blemishes a thing of the past. Powered by a potent blend of alpha-hydroxy and beta-hydroxy acids, this beauty must-have helps keep skin clear and luminous. All you need to do is work the gentle-yet-effective peel – AKA chemical exfoliator – into your routine once or twice a week. With regular use, complexions are refined, breakouts are minimised, and hyperpigmentation becomes a problem of the past.
Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Peel is available now.
2. Mi Piaci & Kate Sylvester's dreamy collab
As much as team FQ loves a great winter boot, there’s nothing like slipping into sandals and pumps once the sun returns to our shores. And this season, spring footwear is more anticipated than ever, thanks to an exciting collaboration between Aotearoa fashion icon Kate Sylvester and cherished footwear label Mi Piaci. The capsule collection features two styles – naturally, we’ll be snapping up both. Ali, the perfect summer sandal, and Aida, the easy-to-wear pump, come in a dreamy spring-inspired colour palette of vibrant green, sky blue, and soft camel.
“It was an exciting creative process working with Ellie and the Mi Piaci team on this very special collaboration,” says Kate Sylvester. While the incredibly versatile Ali and Aida are guaranteed to go with anything in your wardrobe, as Sylvester explains, the footwear styles perfectly complement the new Kate Sylvester spring collection, Avery.
The Mi Piaci x Kate Sylvester collaboration is in-store now.
3. Beyoncé for Tiffany & Co.
Beyoncé has teamed up with Tiffany & Co. once again, and this time it’s as the face of the new ‘Lose Yourself in Love’ campaign. “I am honoured to continue the partnership with Tiffany and Co. and to explore even deeper how beautiful our connections are, when we truly celebrate the relationship and importance of love that we have for ourselves as individuals,” says Beyoncé.
Queen Bey dazzles in the stunning new campaign that features her in several show-stopping pieces, including a custom-made Tiffany HardWear necklace (pictured) created just for the campaign. The striking piece features 18k gold links three times the size of the existing HardWear graduated link necklace. A limited number of bespoke necklaces will be available to purchase.

5. Saben's lush new collection, Cape Cod
Spring is the time when lush greenery blooms back to life, and Saben has captured the essence of the season perfectly with its eclectic new collection, Cape Cod. A flourishing shade of green is at the heart of the collection, which is inspired by sun-drenched days.
And for those who prefer a more subdued colour palette when it comes to accessories, Saben has thought of you too. If you’re not ready to adorn yourself with Saben’s most vibrant hue of green, the Cape Cod features an always-on-trend deep navy and timeless white too. And there’s a new silhouette, Birdie – a mini version of the ever-popular Bea style – that promises to become your go-to for spring.
