Shoppers rush to buy celebrity-loved d'Alba spray serum now 42 per cent off on Amazon Australia
If you've ever wanted skin that looks like it's been lit from within, Amazon Australia's latest beauty deal might be the ticket. Right now, the d'Alba Italian White Truffle First Spray Serum is an incredible 42 per cent off, selling for just $22, down from $38, and shoppers are not wasting any time. With over four thousand bottles snapped up in the past month, it's clear this is more than just another skincare trend. The spray is infused with premium white truffles carefully extracted from Piedmont, Italy, blended with tocopherol (vitamin E) to create d'Alba's signature ingredient, Trufferol. Rich in antioxidants, it promises to deliver a glow so fresh you might just skip the filter. It's also certified vegan by the Italian V-label, dermatologically tested, hypoallergenic and completely surfactant-free, so you get luxury without compromise. With over 30 million bottles sold globally and more than 100,000 glowing reviews on the official d'Alba website, this product has earned its cult status. The secret lies in its clever double-layer formula: the serum layer is packed with Italian white truffle extract, niacinamide and chia seed extract to boost elasticity and calm the skin, while the oil layer delivers hydration and locks it in. All you need to do is give it a good shake before spritzing. Why makeup artists love it Notable names in the beauty world, from Patrick Star and Manny Gutierrez to Carli Bybel, Christen Dominique and James Charles, have sung its praises. Patrick Star says they use it to prep the skin and bring back glow after applying powder, calling it 'skin-like' even over a full face of makeup. Carli Bybel describes it as her 'staple, go-to heavenly product'. She uses before, during and after makeup. The many ways to use it This isn't just a setting spray. You can use it as the first step in your skincare routine after cleansing to lock in moisture, during makeup to smooth out cakey foundation, or post-makeup for a radiant finish. It also works as an all-over body and hair mist for a head-to-toe glow. For an instant cooling effect, stash it in your beauty fridge and apply as needed throughout the day. Shake it for a nourishing, dewy finish or leave it unshaken for a lighter touch; either way, the results are instant. Shoppers on Amazon Australia rave about its fine mist, refreshing feel and glow-boosting power. One reviewer wrote, ' Absolutely love this serum! It's lightweight, super hydrating, and gives an instant glow. Given that this limited-time deal is already generating serious buzz, there's a good chance it won't be around for long.

Celebrate Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl era with beauty picks inspired by her sparkling orange aesthetic
Taylor Swift sent the internet spiralling, again. At exactly 12:12am ET, she announced her highly anticipated twelfth album, The Life of a Showgirl, sprinkling the reveal with enough Easter eggs to keep even the most seasoned Swiftie in detective mode until album release day. While the official date is still under wraps, the mood is clear — we've entered the orange glitter era. It's giving main character energy with a side of sequins, and whether you're deep in the fandom or just Swiftie-adjacent, you can channel it right now. To celebrate this new era, I've gone on a treasure hunt worthy of a Swift bridge key change to find the beauty products that capture this tangerine-tinted sparkle. Think of it as a pre-game before the inevitable album drop. Orange you glad you can wear it now? The star of the show is the OPI Infinite Shine Gel-Like Lacquer in Dreamsicle for $26, a limited edition shade that instantly screamed 'album landing page' when I saw it. It's a juicy, sheer orange that shimmers with a candied finish — sweet enough to tempt you into biting your nails (don't, obviously). It's buildable, giving you the choice between a subtle sheer or a bolder, more showgirl-worthy coat. And because we're talking OPI, the Pro-Wide brush means smooth, streak-free application every time. Chip, stain and scratch resistance? Consider it your Fortnight of flawless nails. If you're ready to take things up a notch, the OPI'm Dreaming collection is like a pastel daydream with press-ons that lock into place for up to 11 days without a single light-cure lamp in sight. It's the kind of polish that says 'I'm ready for the stage' but also 'I've got a full day of life admin to do', a very Taylor balance between spectacle and groundedness. Other ways to sparkle in the orange era If orange nails feel too bold for your 9-to-5, you can still play along with the album aesthetic through more subtle touches: tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Shimmer Glass, $46 DIOR Mono Couleur Couture High-Colour Eyeshadow, $58 Sephora Collection About That Shine Sheer Shine Lipstick, $26 Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Bio-Radiant™ Gel-Powder Highlighter, $69 Sephora Collection Glitter Power Multi-Use Shadows Wand Trio was $29, now $14 Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Stix Shimmer Lipstick, $39 Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment (Limited Edition Peach Glaze), $29 Rare Beauty Positive Light Luminizing Lip Gloss, $36 Patrick Ta Major Headlines Double-Take Creme & Powder Blush, $68 Haus Labs by Lady Gaga PhD Hybrid Lip (Secondary), $43 Whether you're decoding lyrics, prepping for the inevitable stadium tour or just enjoying the spectacle, these little touches will have you looking album-ready long before release day. In the meantime, keep your notifications on — history tells us that if Taylor's started with orange glitter, we're in for a ride.
