THE BEAUTY MARK

I can’t go past their POUT Lipstick Trio, 3 shades of your choice for $39. I absolutely love these lipsticks and am complimented on them constantly!

Another gift suggestion is a 1 On 1 Make-up Lesson. The completely customisable format was was a game changer for me, as I now know exactly what works for my face and how to achieve it at home. A TBM Artist will cover a broad range of products, tools and techniques to help you to express your true beauty. Plus, the cost of the lesson is fully redeemable on product.

If you’re still unsure, the store is absolutely brimming with gorgeous products. Pop on in and let the lovely (and incredibly knowledgeable) TBM staff guide you to the perfect fit for the beauty lover in your life.

EVA’S SUNDAY

Locally design linen-label is full of beautiful pieces if relaxed, ageless style is their thing. I was instantly drawn to their Mao Trapeze Top – it’s a classic wardrobe staple you’ll wear time and time again.

They also stock the ONE SEED Range of fragrances, which are 100% natural and created on an essential oil base. My personal favourite “DREAMER” is a sophisticated blend of fig, orange blossom & ginger.
