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.

Bronte Fragrance-Free Body Cleanser $17

Kelly and Sarah Marie are diving into decades of iconic makeup trends to find out which vintage looks deserve a spot in your 2025 rotation (and which should stay buried in the past)! From the 20s glam that inspired today's "cold girl" aesthetic to the 70s bronzed glow that TikTok can't get enough of, we're separating the timeless from the tragic (spoiler: those 90s pencil-thin brows are NEVER coming back, Youbies). Sarah Marie spills her genius hack for creating those trending soft waves without spending a fortune on tools, while the girls debate whether that ultra-glossy red lip deserves its current comeback moment.
