This Christmas is a great time to support local Australian businesses. Today I'm shining a spotlight on 6 Aussie brands and some of their beautiful holiday offerings.
ERE PEREZ
Born in Mexico, Ere started her natural, vegan and cruelty free brand in Bondi Beach over 15 years ago with just one product launch. Today, the brand has an expansive offering, covering skincare, nails and cosmetics. Her brand has recently taken the beauty world by storm (some of my favourites are the Oat Milk Foundation and Moringa All-Beauty Creme). Pictured is the Quartz Sculpt and Lift Face Stone which is the perfect way to treat your skin this holiday. The facial massage tool will help cool, depuff, massage and lift the skin, based on the Chinese traditional techniques of Gua Sha.
This brand is run by Bec, a mother who has a background in beauty therapy. Her products are handmade and small batch, using the finest, ethically sourced raw ingredients. This holiday season, they've put together this stunning limited edition 'The Goddess Collection' which is comprised of 4 products: Gypsy Oil, Gypsy Oil Shimmer (buyer's pick of shade), Constellations Cleansing Oil & Marula Oil. It also comes beautifully boxed and ready to gift! This is definitely a show stopping gift for any skincare lover.
O is a is a cosmedical range of skincare formulated with medical grade ingredients that are cruelty and gluten free, as well as vegan. Pictured is the Core Four Comfort Set which features a simple but effective skincare routine - Cleanse, Exfoliate, Hydrate and Protect for dehydrated, aging or compromised skin. It comes housed in a fabulous O Cosmedics Dual Compartment Travel Cosmetics Bag that can literally fit all the beauty supplies you need when travelling from home. This kit is an in-clinic exclusive, so head to their website to locate your closest clinic stockist.
Recreation was founded by Nedahl Stelio, a former Cleo and Cosmopolitan magazine Editor with over 20 years experience in the beauty and fashion industry. Based in Bondi Beach, all their products are Australian made and natural, as well as vegan and cruelty free. The packaging does not feature any single use plastics. Pictured is the Call Me Venus fragrance, described as 'a garden of roses with a modern twist.' The scent is a fresh and fun take on a classic rose scent and wears beautifully on the skin.
100% Australian made and Australian owned, Davroe has been at the forefront in developing 'the first professional hair care range to be sulphate, paraben and petrochemical free, completely cruelty free, 100% Vegan and to use pure Australian native extract.' Gentle but effective, the brand has now also extended into body care. Pictured is the Repair Senses Christmas Travel Pack which includes a shampoo, conditioner, rebuilder, luxe leave in masque and face & body cleansing gel. All that is housed in a luxe beauty bag.
The in-house brand of Australian beauty powerhouse MECCA, MECCA MAX is a completely vegan and cruelty free offering quality cosmetics (that could rival any of the brands MECCA carry) at an extremely affordable price point - starting at just $6. The range includes beauty basics from liners to lipsticks, to beautifully packaged holiday offerings. Pictured is one of the 3 limited edition eyeshadow quads that would hang proud on the Christmas tree. The shadows come in multiple finishes, are smooth, pigmented and easy to blend.
