Big news in beauty

This brings the total number of endota locations to 120, 11 of which are overseas.
- Kim Kardashian has announced the launch of her own skin care brand, SKKN by Kim, set for a global release on the 21st of June, 2022. Described as a “new era of skin care,” each product within the nine-step routine will sit between $60 – $132 AUD. We can’t wait to try it.

Both companies will launch an Ocean Plastic Prevention Initiative. The three-year collaboration will fund recycling infrastructure in Accra, Ghana, and the Malappuram district of Kerala, India. The initiative will eliminate almost seven kilograms of waste bound for the ocean and aims to enhance the working conditions of local waste workers.

Glasshouse Fragrances A Tahaa Affair Devotion Soy Candle
In honour of its 15th anniversary, the iconic Tahitian-inspired Glasshouse candle has unveiled a limited-edition (and stunning) pink glass jar to mark the occasion. It’s not dissimilar to the way we once celebrated our own 15th birthday. Although the packaging might’ve received a glow-up, the scent itself remains the same with notes of butterscotch, caramel, plus sheer musk and vanilla orchid. Delicious.

Hask Blonde Care Purple Toning Shampoo
Goodbye brass. While we don’t usually advocate the ‘cancelling’ of anything, we make an exception when discussing the brassy tones in our hair. Hask’s violet shampoo has been enriched with vitamin C and elderberry oil to neutralise yellow and orange tones, leaving locks with a creamier, cooler shade of blonde.

We recommend: NuFace Mini Facial Toner

Which of these product launches are you most excited about?
Glasshouse always amazes me with their beautiful products. I can only have so many candles though.
As to Kim K…..I really get tired of even seeing pictures of her these days.
Me too love glasshouse candles and yes to the second part!
we all are Jatz haha
I am yet to try glasshouse candles.
I’m not lol I love seeing her
Hahaha, I totally agree about Kim K and hated hearing about her ruining Marilyn Monroe’s iconic Happy Birthday Dress.
Yes I think Kim is too much too often
Way too over exposed
A lot of new products, the Glasshouse candle sounds divine
Yesss! I adore Glasshouse but I’m over seeing the Kardashian-Jenners. I’ve tried watching their shows but always tune out!
I roll my eyes every time I see one of the Jenner-Kardashian clan.
Probably the esmi moisturiser.
Agree with you @Izzy09
I’d love to try the Hask blonde shampoo and the Nature’s Way Hair Gummies
Love glasshouse candles!
I never used to use candles in my house but the other evening I went to my friends house and she had candles burning and the fragance was just lovely. Will be trying candles soon.
I love the pink jar from glasshouse – tahaa is such a great scent for winter, it’s one of my favourites.
I love most GH candles!
Kim’s skkn. ok joking xD
I saw a medical thing on a video last night and apparently the K’s are all full of fillers! They showed an image of what they might look like without all their fillers.
I would not like to see that. Can you imagine having foreign stuff and a lot of it filled up into ourselves? gross. Scary too.
Especially if the fillers shift… Scary as!
Interested in seeing muk’s brand new look
Yes I thought that too!
Love GH candles and as for Kim K bit over seeing her as well.
Like that some companies are trying to tackle ocean pollution.
love reading about the latest!
Yes me too although I struggle to keep up with all the new products and the old-not enough time to evaluate so many
Australia’s leading spa, endota coming to NZ is exciting and Hawaiian tropic sunscreen and moisture sounds good and also Rodan + Fields Instant Targeting Firming Gel
that’s awesome to see companies teaming up to tackle waste pollution.
Glasshouse Fragrances A Tahaa Affair Devotion Soy Candle need to get my hands on one.
SKKN by Kim I usually don’t buy into the celebrity lines of products but the Kardashian’s are a guilty pleasure.
It’s a very expensive skincare line…
I know I spend the equivalent to what it would cost in Australian dollars monthly already…
I do not think I will be Keeping Up With the Sknn products lol
I am keen to try the Glasshouse candle though, they have the tahaa devotion in a perfume, I bet it smells awesome ♡♡ the original tahaa candle smells so delicious
Tahaa is one of my favorite scents and is perfect for the winter. I adore the pink jar from Glasshouse. word wipe
SKKN might delay their global launched. Should’ve done more TM work on their brand name. Same with Rhode. Shame on these rich “celebrities” – it’s not hard for them to come up with an original brand.
Ethelinde, isn’t Rhode a special case as Hailey’s TM applies to beauty and skincare while the original company’s TM applies to clothing and apparel? I’m curious and you are the expert on this subject!
Always good to hear beauty industry news. I’m so happy Revlon is not going under!
Me too – I love a Revlon as a brand. It’s right up there.
Same. I use their mascara atm. And a lippy.
Not going under Downunder! Hehe
Yes, it’s nice to have it officially confirmed, yet I wonder for how long?
You would have to be very well off if you did a 9 step skincare routine using Kim’s products. Geez
Great about Revlon, I felt a bit sad (nostalgic) when I heard the bankruptcy news.
I love that CurrentBody is now on BH as I’m a huge fan of their LED face mask!
Lovely to read the Burt’s Bees collaboration for World Ocean Day. I would think they’d remove more than seven kgs of waste though. I would like to give the Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Lotion a try soon.
The new Glasshouse sounds great, the original was lovely
Love Glasshouse!
Well done Burt’s Bees for getting behind World Ocean Day.
That Glasshouse candle sound so good!
It’s hard to go past the new Glasshouse candle!
Kim K definitely has her fingers in way too many pies. You can’t do 1000 things awesomely well. Just do a few things brilliantly.
