Australian women are obsessed with a new Barbie-inspired makeup and skincare collection released in Big W stores, with many stockpiling products for themselves and their daughters. 

The 18-piece range is part of a collaboration between Barbie and BYS Cosmetics, who are known for their brightly coloured palettes and lipsticks at an affordable price point.

Keen shopper Addicted To Bargains noticed the new products in early October, sharing a photo of the $4.95 face wipes with coconut water, $8.95 lip gloss and $7.95 novelty face mask to her public Facebook page.

All of the products are listed for less than $17, making them accessible for most buyers, with many saying they can't wait to get their hands on the new releases.   

And while the glitter-encrusted products are aimed at teenagers and youths, that hasn't stopped adults getting in on the fun. 

'Omg I was in Big W this afternoon and didn't see it... guess I'm going back in the morning,' one lady said.

'I'm so far from being a makeup person but my inner five-year-old is screaming at me saying we need this,' said another.

But they both had a 'good laugh at it' because the mask actually makes the wearer look like the famous doll, albeit a warped version.
