With the current cost of living crisis staying a persistent enemy to our wallets, needing more ways to stay feeling and looking good for cheap has become a must, and there's a new brand that might be able to do the job.
The Warehouse have today announced their own health and beauty range called Good One, with 16 new products designed to be kind to your skin and your wallet.
The new brand includes products like haircare, hand wash, body lotion and body wash in three different scents and all between $6-8. These are large bottles, too - they come in either 500ml, 750ml or 1 litre, so you're definitely getting the most for your buck.
If you didn't catch on to the Kiwi theme with the name 'Good One', the fragrances, each inspired by a core NZ experience are an obvious giveaway.
'Day at the Beach' is coconut and mānuka Honey, 'Bushwalk Bliss' combines cedarwood and kawakawa and Garden Sunrise is a blend of mandarin and jasmine. They genuinely all smell divine, but 'Day at the Beach' is my favourite.
The products also contain natural NZ ingredients like kawakawa, honey and shea butter, which are great for skin and hair. Everything is made locally around Aotearoa, too.
The Warehouse says they want the range to be "for every body and everybody", and as well as being available in stores around the country, they're providing Good One products to Women's Refuge.
Women's Refuge CEO Dr Ang Jury reckons the partnership will make a real difference to the hundreds of women who get help through the services every year.
"Body and hair care is the last thing someone is thinking about when they leave an unsafe situation," Dr Jury said.
"In most cases, women come to us with very little and the more small things we can sort out for them the less stress they feel… it will send a message that they are valued and deserving of products that many of us take for granted."
Good One has plans to expand their range with things like lip balms, travel-friendly products and sustainable refills, and if they're anything like what I've seen with the first drop, I'm excited for what's to come.
