G'Day Australia!!

Happy Australia Day!

Australian Beauty Products

We all have friends and family living in Australia. Whether they are there because of their job situation of just simply just went for the 'craic' like me! I spent a year in '05 travelling around the land down under....and I loved it!! I met amazing people, saw some of the most spectacular scenery and generally had the time of my life! During my stay there I also came across some great Aussie made beauty products:

Lanolips

The inspiration for Lanolips comes from a humble sheep farm in South Australia where Lanolips creator Kirsten Carriol spent her childhood. Lanolin is a natural wax that is taken from freshly shorn sheep's wool (maybe we should look into this in Ireland, certainly plenty sheep!) Australian Victoria's Secret Angel Miranda Kerr is said to be a huge fan of Lanolips!

 Jurlique 

 

The company was founded in 1985 by Dr. Jurgen Klein and his wife, Ulrike – scientists in chemistry, herbology, homeopathy and alchemy. They sought the purest place on Earth and discovered an ideally suited, unpolluted environment in South Australia where they would farm their own herbs and flowers for Jurlique skin care. It has gone form strength to strength and now is a globally known skincare brand.

Ellen deGeneras and Julia Roberts are fans of this natural skincare range.

Lucas Pawpaw Ointment

This ointment was created my Dr. Thomas Lucas over 100 years ago. It certainly has proven the test of time! Originally used in hospitals and by doctors as a treatment for minor burns, gravel rash, cuts, scrapes and stings. It now is used as an emmoliant for lips, cuticles, cracked heels, elbow and knees and is a staple in every Aussie house.

Becca Cosmetics 

Founded by Rebecca Williams of Perth in Western Australia, who at a very young age got inspired by the flawless and beautiful skin of the models and actresses on the runway and fashion magazines, the range has now reached the ultimate heights of reputation and good will in the world of beauty-based cosmetic products. These products are utterly amazing.

Gorgeous Cosmetics

Gorgeous Cosmetics is an Australian cosmetic brand that flourished through passion, loyalty and the pursuit of elite quality. Founder David McConnell's research and development has taken him around the world and the range is one of the finest available.

Well there you have it 'mate'

Until next time.....
