Two Ex-MECCA Insiders Dropped a Beauty Brand, It Sold Out in 72 Hours!

Picture this: You're at the top of your game at Australia's biggest beauty retailer, then you quit to bet everything on bodycare. Not once, but twice. Sounds like a risky move, right?

When two former beauty executives leave their dream jobs to launch a bodycare brand, the industry pays attention. When that first brand sells out in 72 hours, people take notice. But when they follow it up by launching a second brand that flies off supermarket shelves nationwide? That's when you know you're dealing with serial entrepreneurs who've cracked the code.

Camille and Georgie, the founders behind Bronte and SOMA, share their journey from corporate beauty to launching two successful Australian brands. They reveal what it takes to succeed in the competitive beauty market, the personal story behind the Bronte name (featuring Camille's 99-year-old Italian grandmother), and their honest takes on cult products versus overhyped launches.

PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

Bronte Fragrance-Free Body Cleanser $17

Bronte Sea Salt Body Cleanser $17

Bronte Santal Body Lotion $18

    We're Sorry To Say It, But Thin Brows Are Coming Back

    We hate to be the bearer of bad news but those bold, bushy brows we've been vibing for the past year or so are on their way out. Looks like thin brows are making a comeback (insert horrified gasp here), but it's not as bad as it sounds. Erin & Leigh will tell you how to make this trend work in 2021, so you don't end up with the eyebrows Gwen Stefani was rocking when she fronted No Doubt!

    How Does A Lash Lift Actually Work?

    Much like eyebrows, lashes have become an art form over the past few years. Gone are the days where our only option was a full set of stick-ons that occasionally got flappy on windy days, now there are so many options! There's tinting, there's extensions, there's even eyelash lifts. So we got Charlotte Creasey from Lady Lash to fill us in on ALL of it!
