I don’t know if it’s the warm summer sun or the Bondi-beach sand under my toes, but I love this country, I really do.
We’re a land that’s created legends, like Don Bradman, Dame Edna and Kylie Minogue… okay, maybe Kylie isn’t quite a legend yet, but we sure do well considering our size, don’t you think?
And as today is Australia Day, I thought it very fitting to spill the beans on some of my all-time Aussie favourites – some are new mind you. You’ll understand that this gig puts me in front of the shiniest and newest beauty bits and bobs around, there are some products that I don’t think I could ever lay to rest…
When you’re hanging for quick beauty buy that won’t break the bank you can’t go past Australis Cosmetics. From eyeshadows, lipsticks, glosses and bronzers, to nail polishes, make-up brushes and skincare, there’s something to satisfy any beauty junkie!
If native Australian ingredients are your vibe you’ll love the luxurious (but totally affordable) products from Botanics of Australia. Its Detoxifying Mask with Tasmanian Kelp works a treat!
SOTO is kind of the new kid on the block, having launched in 2009, and I just love the fabulous Body Soft – it’s a lightweight dream. In other words, perfection for our hot climate.
Last but not least, there’s Be Genki: where do I start with this homegrown hero? It’s like a mother choosing a favourite child, but I can never go past my Serenity Face Mist when I need a quick pick-me-up or a refresher to hide all signs of the night before…
What are your Aussie beauty loves?
