- Ahhh,
- Ohh Wait hang on I was scratching my nose
- Sorry (laughing)
- I was scratching my nose.
I don't want that to be the start of the video.
- Hi everyone.
Welcome back to beauty rider, Roundup I'm Sadaf,
and today we are joined by the lovely Maddie.
- Hello.
- Hi friend.
Today. We are talking about Australian made
or homegrown brands.
We are an Australian business, so we thought that
we would highlight some of our faves and Maddie's dressed
for the occasion.
- Yeah in my wombat outfit.
So you may or may not have seen me before, but I'm
behind the camera of like every single YouTube video
on this channel, basically.
And we don't talk
about Australian beauty products specifically that often
- We only unfortunately have time for six today.
So let us know if you want us to make a part two
and take you through some more homegrown Australian brands
(tongue clicking) (tongue clicking)
- Comments, get in the comment.
- Okay. Maddie, do you wanna go first?
- Yes. Start with Aesop, Aesop blends
plant based botanicals
with laboratory made ingredients to make highly
effective products.
And they're really backed by scientific research.
- Mmm
- They say they focus on sensory pleasure
which is kind of just like a weird, fancy way
of saying that like they smell good and they feel good.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- This is quite a well known brand in Australia
but I like didn't even know it was Australian.
It was created in 1987 in Melbourne.
How cool is that?
- That is very cool.
- And that's why we have so many stores around Victoria
because it's a Melbourne brand.
- Ohh, I didn't know that.
- Yeah. I love Aesop for gifts.
- Yes.
- They're just like, they make really cool gift sets
especially around the holiday season
but like all year round as well.
They make really good gifts as well
because they're kind of like gender neutral, age neutral.
Like anyone can like, like them.
- I love that
- They look nice if you like put them
in your like guest bathroom.
- Yes.
- Not that I have a guest bathroom
- but if you did
- we don't have the full sized
big products in here right now.
But I really like just like the soaps, like the hand soaps.
They have really good body washers.
Oh, and good moisturisers and
good body moisturisers as well.
It's a bit like modern, but timeless, sciencey.
- Very cool packaging, right
- Yeah. Cool packaging. It's not cheap.
Like it's quite a Boujee brand.
- No, it's true.
- I don't really buy it myself.
I buy it for other people.
Yeah. I Accept your gift.
- They also have face oil, serums and cream.
So if you wanna see the full range
check them out on www.adorebeauty.com.au.
- So the next one is Alpha H which doesn't really
need an introduction.
I feel like a lot of people already know about
this
- Yeah
- amazing skincare brand.
So 25 years ago, the founder, Michelle Doherty wanted to
find an ingredient that could help her with her acne.
And she came across (hands drum rolling) glycolic acid.
Yay. And that's how alpha H was born.
So alpha H are known for their potent ingredients
and scientific research, which is why people
love their products because they know that they work.
One of their most popular
products, and I'd say one of our best selling products
- Yes for sure
- right on the site is liquid gold.
- Dadaah (laughing)
- A lot of people love this, including our
Senior Editor, Amy.
- Yeah.
- So it's just an amazing exfoliating serum.
And it does wonders for skin.
It has a really nice like Milky texture.
It just works.
And that's why people love their brand
and what you love their balancing cleanser.
- Yeah. They've got some really nice like
cleanses that are just kind of like unproblematic favs
like they're quite calming.
And I really like the balancing cleanser.
It's just, it's just really nice.
Yeah. I know a few people with sensitive skin
who like it as well.
- Ohh, that's good to know.
- It's got aloe vera in it.
- Nice one.
- Lanolips is like mostly lip care focused
but I was like, I just really wanna talk about it.
- Yeah.
- Because I just love their lip balms so much.
Lanolips has a focus on like dehydration
- Mmhmm
- with the ingredient Lanolin,
which is found in sheep's wool.
Lanolin is a natural, renewable and sustainable resource.
So that's pretty cool.
- That's so cool, that's very cool.
- It's it's not vegan, but it is like cruelty free.
Most of their products are like really hydrating
- Yeah
- like face creams, hand creams, lip, balms
that kind of thing.
Here I've got Everywhere Multi cream.
- Ooh.
- I've got the face cream.
I've got hand cream.
- Can I smell the hand cream?
- Yeah. That's a coconut one I think.
- Yeah. More like a thicker texture for winter.
- Yes
- Like something really hydrating.
- Yeah.
- Like, is it inclusive or
- Thick
I can't put this stuff on my hands,
cause I have really oily hands already.
- Yeah
- I have really dry hands.
- (Maddie Laughing)
- I like that.
- Is it good?
- Yeah.
- But my favourite thing from Lanolips
is the tinted lip balm.
This is mine.
- Can we have a demo?
- We'll apply, we'll apply a thick layer of it.
- So it's kind of glossy.
- What I'm using right now is the Tinted lip Balm with SPF
in it.
It's got SPF 30 in it, but they also have just
like lip balms that have different flavours
and scents that are like,
- Yeah.
- more neutral coloured.
Which one is that one?
- This is the red apple.
- Okay. So that's one of the centred
- Oh, but it goes on quite sheer.
It's kind of just enhances your own lips.
- Yeah
- It does feel very hydrating and thick.
So how much are these little guys?
- The lip balms are usually $15.00
- Oh, that's good.
- I'll say
The other product, which is like, they're like cult favourite
like everyone loves is their 101 ointment balm.
it's basically just like a
non tinted version of their like lip balms.
- Yep
- But you can also use it like
on your cuticles and like dry bits around your nose.
- Oh nice
- It's kind of just like, you can use it wherever you want.
That's a good one, if especially if you're not into
like the, the glossy vibe.
- Yeah. That's me.
Okay. I need to look into
- You don't like gloss.
- I don't like too much gloss.
Okay. So the next one we're talking about is aspect
which is a leading cosmeceutical brand.
That's also made in Melbourne.
- Yeah.
- It started in 2007.
And what's great about this brand is
that their range is made
for all skin concerns and it doesn't cause irritation.
So basically they're a little bit fancy
and a little bit sciencey.
- Yep.
- (laughing)
- Pretty much.
- This probiotic mask is loved by a lot of people.
A lot of beauty IQ riders, including myself.
So do you wanna have a feel?
- Yes.
- It has like a really creamy nourishing texture.
You can use it as an overnight mask.
If you want optimal results.
I actually love it for before makeup.
I pop this on for 20 minutes, rinse it off.
And then I, my makeup just goes
on really nicely and really smooth.
So it's such a good product.
- Yeah. I hear people talk about this all the time.
- Yeah.
- But I've never tried it. So this is nice.
- Do you like the smell?
- It smells like you're at a day spa.
- Oh. Yeah
- Like it smells like you're getting a facial.
- And I feel like because they have, you know
they are science backed that
if you wanna dip your toes in cosmeceuticals
you just know whatever you pick will be good
and you can trust it.
Right.
- I trust them.
- So they have quite a lot of other
popular products in the range
right?
Yes.
- Everyone always talks about this brand on YouTube.
Some of the popular ones are fruit enzyme masks
and pigment punch.
- Oh, I've heard of pigment punch.
- Yes.
- Okay.
- It's supposed to be good if you have hyper pigmentation or
like spots to like
even out your skin tone or, and the Purostat 5 cleanser.
Joe's talked about that a few times.
- Yes. I've heard this too,
- But I have been using the extreme B17.
- Ah, how do you like it?
- It's really good.
- Okay. Maddie's told me it smells like Berrocca.
Oh, it does smell like Berrocca.
- Yeah, it does sinks in really nicely.
- Yeah.
- It's a good serum. It's just the orange.
I like, I just can't really get past the orange smell.
So I kind of like the ASAP vitamin B better.
- Ooh. Controversial
- Which is actually our next brand.
So that's a really good segway.
- Okay. Let's do it (Blowing)
- I thought we just kind of needed to talk
about this
- Yeah
- because I just feel like everyone talks
about it all the time in Adobe Beauty,
including Joanna who has like convinced like 90%
of the Adore Beauty staff to use ASAP Super B complex.
I'm gonna read this off my little document.
So in 2000 ASAP was made
with the intention of creating
concise uncomplicated skincare for all skin types.
So it's kind of a similar vibe to aspect.
- You can have like a streamline routine with this.
Is that right?
- Yeah. If I had to choose one brand to make a whole routine
out of, I would choose ASAP.
- Whoa.
- Like I would be confident using their products
for every step of my routine.
- Really.
- Like I wouldn't, because I like to spend a bit
less money.
- (laughing)
- Cause they are a little bit pricey, some of the products
but like
if I had to choose one, I would definitely choose ASAP.
- Oh okay. Interesting.
- What would you choose?
- What could you choose one?
- I, I don't think I could choose one.
- So the reason I love ASAP so much is
because they kind of make everything really easy.
I've got here, there's one vitamin B serum.
There's like one vitamin C serum
- Oh Yep
- and a radiant serum, which is for exfoliating.
These are some of the most famous and popular ones.
- Right.
- And they have a good range of
cleanses and exfoliants as well.
My friend has Keratosis, Polaris.
- Yeah.
- aka strawberry skin.
And I think she uses this one, but it's a body scrub.
And she uses that to kind of like smooth
out her skin a little bit.
And I also find that they're really effective
without stripping your skin,
at the moment as I said, I'm switching
between the aspect B serum and this B serum.
And I think we have one more left Sedaf so
what's number, number six.
- Okay. Number six is sand and sky sand and sky was created
by two Australian sisters who wanted to
utilise Australian flora and fauna, which is
really cool.
- That's cute.
- And cute. So they have three ranges
their most famous one is the Australian pink clay range.
So they have their famous clay mask
which is good for acne prone and congested skin.
And you've actually used one of their clay.
- Right. And I used the, yeah, just like the pink clay mask.
And I usually don't like clay mask because they kind of
even though I have oily skin, I just feel
like they kinda like strip it.
Just make me feel a bit like dry and sad.
The centre sky one was like way more nourish nourishing.
- Oh Okay
- like it just, it didn't, it didn't like hurt as much
- Yeah, like stripping
- Like a normal
- It didn't feel like gross.
Like some, I feel after some clay masks
- Yeah. They also have their Tasmanian spring water range
which is really good for hydration.
So they also have their Emu apple range, which has one
of my favourite products, which is the I'm gonna read it.
So I get it wrong
it's the Australian Emu apple dreamy glow drops.
- Yeah.
- I road tested this for a glowy skin story.
I loved it.
My skin just drank it up.
It's like part oil, part water.
And it has really beautiful Australian native ingredients
like Kakadu plum, which is really good for brightening.
And it's a good vitamin C ingredient.
It's a good antioxidant.
It's got Australian Glow Berries and hyaluronic acids.
So it's just a beautiful product.
- Yeah. Have you seen the Sand and Sky tub
of like loose exfoliant?
I haven't
- It's like this really cute little tub.
It comes with like a little scoop
like a tiny little scoopy.
Scoop it out.
And then you like rub it onto your skin.
Oh, I want that
Amelia included it in the video.
I think I might have been a video
on body care will link it if I can find it.
So sand and sky is not a cheap brand.
It's it can be quite spendy depending on your budget.
But I think what you're paying for other than the
the good quality ingredients and the formulations
you're also paying for like the fun uniqueness of the brand.
Yeah.
- Thing. Like
- You kind of just kind pay
for the vibe along with like the actual ingredients
- In the products.
- Yeah. It's also sand sky is like one
- Word it's very interesting.
It's like
- SandnSky
- Guys. So thanks so much for watching guys.
That's pretty much all we have time for today.
- Yes. If you wanna see more videos
from beauty ride Roundup, they'll be over there.
See you next time.
Bye.
- How weirds my wave.
- Oh, why do
- You, who waves?
Why?
- Who waves?
Don't you wave like this?
- Yeah. Well now I, I dunno why this
I don't even if this feels natural, it doesn't.
- Hi.
- Oh yeah, this is, this is cute.
Why am I doing this?
