We’re also pretty chuffed that so many of the top awarded Hollywood starlets are Aussie. If this year’s awards season is anything to go off, Australian actresses are killing it. While we’re proud as punch of their achievements on the screen, it’s their red carpet looks that have us in a spin.

Flick through our gallery and check out our fave Australian beauty brands and Australian beauty icons.


Nad’s Natural Hair Removal Gel

Nad’s has been keeping Aussie bodies hair-free and super smooth since 1992. Their original product, Nad’s Natural Hair Removal Gel, can be used to remove to hair from just about anywhere on the body including the legs, bikini line, underarms and arms. Best used at room temperature, the beauty of this product is the backing strips are washable and reuseable. Nifty!

Your say: “Gently grabs my hair and not my skin always making the experience of waxing the best so far. The colour helps me to spot the application properly and the washable cotton strips come off with ease. I save time and money reaching those Salon results when I use the Nad’s Natural hair removal gel.” – bh member, Becstar

 

Margot Robbie

Margot has us girl crushing with her on point hair and makeup looks! She can pull off any trend from vampy lips to gold-hued eyes, this Aussie starlet never disappoints.

Glasshouse Esperance Mimosa and Wild Apple Triple Scented Miniature Candle

With their premium candles and room sprays, Glasshouse Fragrances has been keeping homes smelling amazing since 2006. One of our fave Glasshouse candles, of course, is Aussie inspired: Glasshouse Esperance Mimosa and Wild Apple Triple Scented Miniature Candle. A fresh blend of apples, flowers and musk – it’s absolutley gorgeous.

Your say: “Glasshouse candles are some of my favorite candles.They’re handmade right here on Oz, burns for a long time and quickly fragrances any room. I like to use the jars to store and display makeup brushes. This scent is beautiful. It’s light and fruity.” – bh member, Pink_Sugar

 

Nicole Kidman

More elegant and stylish than we could ever imagine being, Nicole, aged 50, 100% slays it in the beauty department. From her extremely well-looked after skin, to her soft strawberry blonde locks, Nicole will forever be a beauty icon in our eyes.

Ultraderm Skin Karma Hydrating Toner

Ultraderm is a complete skin care range that uses actives to target all your complexion concerns. We love the Skin Karma Hydrating Toner, a facial toner that helps to hydrate, tone and brighten skin.

Your say: “The toner comes in a spray bottle which is very easy to use. It gives quite a nice, strong blast. The scent in barely noticeable… to me it smells clean and subtle. I love how refreshed I feel after spraying it. My skin seems to respond well to it also. I have combination skin that can be sensitive and it has found this product really calming.” – bh member, sparrow x

 

Elle Macpherson

If we could be half as healthy, as wellness warrior and supermodel, Elle Macpherson, things would be pretty damn fine. With a nickname “the body” it’s not surprising that while genes play a big part, Elle has a beauty and health routine that can put a Korean beauty addict to shame.

 

Lanolips Tinted Balm SPF 30

Born and raised in Australia, the founder of the brand, Kirsten Carriol, was inspired to create this natural lip balm from the sheep farm she grew up on in Lucindale, South Australia. Using Lanolin, a natural substance taken from freshly shorn sheep’s wool, Kirsten utilised this ingredient to form the base of the Lanolips range. We love the Lanolips Tinted Balm SPF 30, a hydrating lip conditioner, with the perfect hint of colour.

Your say: “This is one of my summer staple lip products and I always have one in my handbag or beach bag to ensure my lips are protected from the sun in harsh summer weather. I got the shade rhubarb and find it suits my Olive skin tone really well. The formula isn’t too sticky or greasy and the smell is of subtle vanilla. It stays on fairly well for a lip gloss and provides hydration and prevents chapped lips.” – bh member, Bohemian.Wanderlust

 

Teresa Palmer

Actress and mum, Teresa Palmer, is one zen mama. A natural beauty through and through, Teresa looks absolutely stunning on and off the silver screen.

 

Eleven Australia

This homegrown hair care brand is all about innovation and results. Created and developed by Ozdare with Creative Directors, Joey Scandizzo, three time Australian Hairdresser of the Year, and Australian Photographer of the Year Andrew O’Toole, the range contains everything a thorough hair kit needs. Our hero product is the ELEVEN Australia I Want Body Volume Spray that gives life to dull, flat hair.

Your say: “This amazing product gives hold, texture and lots of body. I have never come across a product that works as well as this and actually leaves you feeling like you have volume without the sticky hair that most volume products leave. This product is great in wet or dry hair and the great combination of body powder and volume foam give you the perfect amount of hold and volume.” – bh member, Maddii

 

Lara Worthington

Founder of The Base, a collection of the ultimate bronzing and tanning products, Lara Worthington, has always been a beauty icon. From her short and sharp hairstyles to her glowing skin and paired backed makeup looks, Lara knows how to create a flawless look.

 

LUMA

Created by Aussie supermodel, Jess Hart, LUMA is a multi-purpose makeup and skin care range available exclusively in Priceline. Even though we love every single product from the range, our hero award goes to the LUMA Illuminating Highlighter.  It has an ultra sheer formula, but is also buildable, so you can up the glow a little or to the max. Plus it comes in three shades, Moonlit Ivory, Luminous Light and Golden Glow, so there’s something for everyone’s skin tone.

Your say: “This cream highlighter is amazing! Needs to be more talked about. The formula is very creamy, just dip your finger in and the product melts into your skin when applied for a natural glow. I have the shade moonlight ivory and it is a spot on dupe for rms living luminizer, and a fraction of the price. The illuminator settles into the skin and wears nicely, so you still can see a slight sheen at the end of the day. Also, the ingredients are not harmful to your skin!” – bh member, Elliewang_
