Beauty Insider October 2024

Big news in beauty

• As Aussies, it’s a fact of life that we’ve got to protect our skin from the dangerous UV rays. And Airyday are making it that one step easier with their Tube Key ($8.95 at Airyday) that helps to get every last drop of product from the SPF tube. But aside from being totally helpful, with every purchase of the key Airyday donates to the Australian Melanoma Research Foundation. Amazing stuff!
• Clairol are giving people who shop (selected products) between the 3rd and 30th October the chance to get their money back if they don’t love the results. Now let’s be totally clear, you’re pretty likely to be a fan of the DIY dye, but just in case you aren’t, submit your claim here…
• Runway Room have long since been an Aussie fave. But let’s be real, it’s been a little tricky to purchase from just their site. Well, now you’ll be able to shop your faves in select Myer stores (and come soon online)!
• If you’re looking for a total icon, there’s no going past the Maybelline New York Instant Eraser ($22.99 at Adore Beauty). Taking out the top spot as Australia’s number one concealer for the last six years, Maybelline have decided to celebrate, with the ‘Icons’ campaign. The iconic concealer has teamed up with the iconic likes of Naomi Campbell, Ru Paul and Gigi Hadid to show off all its revolutionary, game-changing glory.
