Out of all the colour combinations in the world, white and gold is my favourite.
There’s just something about it… it’s so much more classy and elegant than all the other colour combos, which is why I decided to do a ‘best in beauty’ post exclusively for beauty products of the white and gold nature.
I’ve also ranked them in order of how amazing I think they are (no.1 being my favourite).
I also thought with Christmas coming up (yes I’m aware that it’s only September), that it would be handy to have these golden products top of mind for festively coloured gift ideas!
Anyway, let’s get into it…
There are four categories: haircare, oils, moisturisers and cosmetics. First up we’ve got haircare, namely shampoo and conditioners.
1. Matrix Biolage Equisite Oil Micro-Oil Shampoo and Conditioner – RRP$30.00 ea
I’ve been using Matrix shampoo and conditioners for years, it’s one of the most affordable quality salon shampoo brands available. The Equisite Oil Micro Oil range works to luxuriously cleanse hair with a rich lather, while retaining all essential nutrients and oils.
2. K’erastase 24 Carat Elixir Subline Cleansing Oil Shampoo – RRP$41.00
Inspired by the principles that define the precious nature of 24 Carat gold, this gorgesously packaged shampoo by K’erastase turns hair into a unique and delicate treasure. It works hard to remove impurities and offers a deep and gentle cleanse.
3. Savar Ultra Cleansing Shampoo & Ultra Nourishing Conditioner – RRP$39.00 ea
Made right here in NZ, Savar’s divinely fragranced plant-based formula is safe and gentle to use on all hair types. It’s made with a number or natural key ingredients including NZ manuka honey, cucumber, ginger and avocado that all work together to leave your hair wonderfully silky, shiny and lustrous.
4. Redken Frizz Dismiss Rebel Tame Shampoo & Conditioner – RRP$30.00 ea
The Frizz Dismiss range from Redken offers the first-ever Frizz Protection Factor (FPF) with 4 levels of smoothing and humidity protection for all hair types, from fine to coarse. It offers heat and humidity protection with a sulfate-free, sodium chloride-free cleansing system and is safe for chemically straightened hair.
5. L’Oreal Paris Hair Expertise UltraRich Shampoo & Conditioner (NEW) – RRP$16.99 ea
If you suffer from dry and damaged hair like myself, then look no further! L’Oreal’s UltraRiche range is enriched with Camelina botanical oil that work to restore moisture to the hair, nourishing from root to tip.
6. OGX Healing + Shine Vitamin E Conditioner – RRP$18.99
Developed to repair damaged hair and restore vitality, OXG’s new Healing + Vitamin E range works to soothe the surface of the hair, combating frizz and mending split ends, while reducing the risk of future breakage.
Next we moisturisers (this was my favourite of the four categories to shoot).
1. MOR Modern Apothecary Little Luxury Snow Gardenia Hand Cream & Body Butter – RRP$14.99 & $19.99
This would have to be my all-time favourite fragrance from MOR (marshmallow would come second). The fresh scents of gardenia, juniper berry and angelica combined together with a touch of ylang ylang, vanilla and sandalwood are simply decadent.
Both the hand cream and body buter include nourishing Shea butter and a range of essential vitamins including rosehip oil, avocado oil and wheat germ oil to leave your skin feeling deliciously silky smooth and moisturised.

2. Elizabeth Arden Flawless Future Powered by Ceramide Moisture Cream SPF 30 – RRP$98.00
This is perfect for young women in their 20’s (like myself) who want to prevent the signs of aging before they start to appear. This innovative formula from Elizabeth Arden intercepts the first signs of aging with a fine-tuned blend of skin-barrier supporting Ceramides, a protective protein complex and powerful skin brighteners.
With daily use, skin texture, fine lines, crow’s feet and radiance are visibly improved so skin looks stress-free.

5. Manuka Doctor ApiRefine Targeted Wrinkle Filler – RRP$29.95
This clinically proven wrinkle filler instantly firms and lifts tired skin after just 30 minutes, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Manuka Doctor’s Patented Purified Bee Venom (PBVTM) and Certified UMF 18+ Manuka Honey work alongside with other key ingredients to instantly smooth fine lines and wrinkles whilst supporting natural collagen and elastin production for immediate and long term anti-aging results.
I didn’t have to search too far to find products to fit into this third category because all oils are, well, gold.
