GoBlondie Cosmetics

A new makeup range for the Gold Coast brand.

As if there weren’t enough pretty little things in the world women are keen to spend our hard-earned dollars on and here comes another one demanding immediate purchase.

GoBlondie is the beloved beauty brand of Gold Coast local Linda-Rosa Hewing and just last week she launched a whole new range of AFFORDABLE luxury cosmetics and affordable things are our favourite things. Especially if they make us better looking.

The brand itself comes with the catch cry ‘have more fun’ and again, yes, don’t mind if we do. The sultry, tongue-in-cheek range was designed in Australia and produced in Italy (where there are many good looking folks) so you know it’s quality.

The hero of the GoBlondie range is the Bouncy Foundation and don’t even get us started on how difficult it is to find a foundation that is perfect for your completely unique face type. Skin type, whatever.

The point is, this Bouncy Foundation is the business, infused with quality active ingredients and packed with Hyaluronic Acid which both hydrates and makes the skin glow. As people in our EARLY 30s, those are very important things to include in a product that goes onto your skin every single day of your life.

Plus, in the interest of never looking a day over our early 30s, we’ve researched Hyaluronic Acid A LOT and it’s very important to put on your face. We learnt more but that’s the most prominent point.

Not only that, Bouncy Foundation has no harsh chemicals, it’s not tested on animals and it’s paraben free. So all the good things.

Another fun thing to try in the recently launched range is a plumping eyelash primer and who knew that was a thing you needed in your life. But it IS girlfriends. First Base will grow, repair and freshen up your lashes readying them for the next stage of the getting good looking game.

Which is of course, Foreplay, a high definition mascara that’ll give you those lush eyelashes that dreams are made of. Not the other kind, although you never know where pretty eyes will get you.

Last but not least, All the Way is a carbon free liquid eyeliner that may very well take you all the way. Worth a try hey.

So there you have it, bust out that credit card and prepare to get (more) gorgeous.

Gold Coasters going global, love it.

Clean Beauty Market

In happy news for everyone with skin, a beauty emporium has opened in Nobbys Beach (land of the good vibes and beautiful people).

Not any old skincare store though, the glowy-skinned team at Clean Beauty Market are experts in non-toxic, natural and organic products that are free from animal testing. How fun.

The store, found next to Sparrow Eating House, is as pretty as you’d expect, decked out in white with blush accents and a glowing pink sign declaring “you are magic”. And magic is exactly what you’ll find once you’ve stepped inside the delightfully scented space that’s packed with countless natural makeup and skincare brands.

It’s pure heaven to be honest and it’s entirely possible you’ll spend your life savings in one visit. YOLO.

While buying all of the good-for-you skincare is always a smart idea, you can also book yourself in for some pampering. There’s makeup lessons, skin regime consultations and makeup applications for special occasions (or, you know, work on Monday).

PLUS, you and your gals can indulge in a makeover party should you so desire.

Owner Erin Norden is a Coast local and former freelance makeup artist who (sensibly, let’s be real) saw an opportunity, found the perfect space in Nobbys and made the magic happen.
Clean Beauty Market is the first (and hopefully not the last) store of its kind on the Gold Coast and it’s a solid step in the right direction for the many ladies who are choosing natural products to slather all over their skin (and the rest who should jump on that bandwagon ASAP).

Great news for the Gold Coast, the Earth and your face.

LOCATION: 1/32 Lavarack Rd, Nobbys Beach
HOURS: 9am to 5pm daily.

Did you know Australia’s first unfiltered Hemp Skincare is made right here on the Gold Coast? Burleigh Heads to be exact. It’s called Cannabella and it was created by a local man who wanted to create something natural for his Mum who was diagnosed with cancer and whose skin was becoming very dry and irritated due to chemotherapy. The result was Cannabella, skincare products made using 100% botanical ingredients with zero preservatives and entirely oil based. The key ingredient is unfiltered Hemp oil, used for it’s high chlorophyll content. There are face and body serums, a detox mask and a nourishing jelly and we suggest you try them all. Grab them here.
