FRANKI & BEE SKIN FOOD
This is the number one pal in my beauty bag. Made from Northern
Rivers beeswax, Aussie macadamia nut oil, hemp oil and pressed
coconut, my favourite bit is that it comes in reusable glass jars. I
travel all over Australia – sometimes from Tassie to Alice Springs in a
day – and the oils in this form a great barrier to protect my skin from
in-transit stressors and makeup on fi lm sets. It’s good for my face,
neck, hands, legs... all over!
INIKA LONG LASH VEGAN MASCARA
On a normal day, I’ll often just wear mascara. I like my lashes to look
long and full, so this is perfect for me – plus it’s plant derived, 100%
vegan and cruelty free, with nourishing ingredients like magnolia
bark extract.
NUDE BY NATURE CONTOUR PALETTE
I like to continue the tones from my cheeks onto my eyes, so I use
this for eyeshadow as well as contouring. Made from 100% natural
ingredients and free of parabens, it’s also cruelty free. This company
isn’t as far into its sustainability journey as lots of my other products,
but I appreciate that it’s visible and aff ordable in mainstream stores.
There are many ways to make change!
NATURAL BEAUTYTHE BEAUTY CHEF GUT PRIMER
At fi rst I was sceptical of beauty-related brands moving into this
space, but I’ve done a lot of reading up on it and really, the ulti-
mate test for me is how they make me feel. The answer? Really,
really good! I’ve had tummy issues, so I’m happy to see increasing
research affi rming the connection between our gut fl ora and our
mental health, skin and sleep. I have this fi rst thing in the morning.EVERESCENTS ORGANIC SWEET ORANGE BLOSSOM
REMEDY TREATMENT
This stuff smells so good! I’m great at doing my makeup but hopeless
at doing hair, so healthy hair that’s good to go makes my life easier.
Like all the products above, this gang are Australian-owned and
EverEscents are also great community members – they acknowl-
edge that they work and play on the land of the Yinneburra clan of
the Gubbi Gubbi people, and they support local trade. I also love
that they’re powered by 100% renewable energy!MY ECO BEAUTY BAG: maree lowes / dirtgirl
