I’m seeing a lot of awesome new products each week so thought it was about time I curated these new releases into a weekly ‘Hot List’ that’s short and snappy, giving you guys the lowdown on the latest and greatest from brands we love.
What’s New – October #1
Eros Pour Femme Eau De Toilette By Versace
Scheduled for release in New Zealand October 27th, the latest legend fragrance from Versace, Eros Pour Femme EDT is ah-maze. Add this to your Christmas list ladies, this is a classic. It’s a strong, fresh fragrance, with citrus notes combined with raspberry and white current. Mid-notes comprise florals; freesia, magnolia, orange blossom and jasmine with a base of white patchouli, wood notes , musk and ambrox. This is divine! I can’t get enough.

My Dinner Party
Nadia’s empire just keeps growing with the latest offering from the team at My Food Bag. I attended the launch party at Meadow and sampled the My Dinner Party menu last week and it’s another home-run. My fave? The Kaipara Kumara and Rhubarb Crumble with Mascarpone – I’m still thinking about it days later!

This is natural skincare, free of sulphates, animal derivatives, parabens, propylene glycol, harsh detergents, mineral oils, triethanolamine, synthetic fragrances and parabens at a great price.
Go Healthy’s GO Slim Garcinia Gold
This is a new-to-market product from a brand our family uses every day. When I received this press release, I responded with a five word email; ‘Winter has not been kind”.
This stimulant-free formula supports healthy fat metabolism, helps manage appetite and cravings plus is a great natural energy booster. GO Healthy GO Slim Garcinia Gold combines three key ingredients that work harmoniously to help manage weight; Mangosteen, East Indian Globe Thistle and Garcinia cambogia. I’ve started taking it so will get back to you in a few weeks!
The need-to-know: GO Healthy GO Slim Garcinia Gold 60 Caps $34.90. 120 Caps $59.90 (2 per day).
The Trespasser by Tana French
I’m 1/3rd through this book right now and simply cannot wait for my teeny 15 minutes of reading time each night before I just can’t stay awake any longer! This is my first read of French’s work and I’m definitely going to be reaching for her back catalogue when I’m through The Trespasser. Dubbed a ‘psychological suspense thriller’, the characters I’ve met so far are a collection of deep, complex personalities that are leaving me guessing – I have NO idea where this novel is going – but I like it.
The need-to-know: Published by Hachette New Zealand RRP $37.99 / E-book RRP $19.99, released 27/9/16
