ROEMY: ROEMY is a Melbourne-based fragrance brand that I actually discovered through an Instagram ad, and boy am I glad that I did. I started out with their Discovery Set which contains 5 x 3ml fragrance vials of their current five fragrances, I can honestly say that I liked all of them and as someone who has tried a lot of fragrances over the years, these are very different and unique.

The brand also has very strong values when it comes to sustainability and using high-quality natural ingredients where possible which is something that has been very important to me as of late, I personally own a few of their scents [No.6, Resort and Solstice] and am looking at incorporating more of their scents into my collection. 

I am really excited to see what the brand does next as I am sure it will be something that I love.

Product Recommendations: Edition 1 Discovery Set, No.6, Resort, Solstice.

*Tomorrow Skincare: I was lucky enough to meet the founder of this brand and being a new brand itself I was really impressed, everything from the packaging to the formulas to the fragrance of the products really interested me. I know that fragrance in skincare products can be a bit of a controversial topic but I personally like it and it doesn't ever affect my skin in any way, the scents of these products are just beautiful.

The products are really well thought out and make it easy to start incorporating them into your routine, right now there are four products in the range so it's a nicely edited selection consisting of a cleanser, toner, serum and moisturiser. I have been using the products for the last few months now and enjoy having them in my routine, excited to see what they come out with next. 


Product Recommendations: Liquid Toner, Foam Cleanser, Structure Serum, Gel Moisturiser.

*NXT CHPTR: Being the beauty devotee that I am, I am always looking for what's new when it comes to beauty products, one of the brands I have recently been lucky enough to try is NXT CHPTR. The range currently consists of three products, a cleanser, serum and moisturiser which can be either purchased as a set of three or purchased individually.

I like the idea of the range being edited meaning it's easy to either incorporate into your existing routine or if you are just starting out it's a great place to start. The products are all very effective and my skin has responded well to them, always such a joy seeing local to me brands doing so well.

Product Recommendation: CHPTR 01 3-Step Routine.

*Premo Skincare: This brand is one of the newer brands to reach my beauty cupboard, they are starting the range off with a face oil that contains a blend of Jojoba Oil, Macadamia Oil, Rosehip Oil, Primrose Oil as well as Vitamin E.

As the weather is starting to cool down in Australia I will be looking at including more face oils into my routine, I have an oily-combination skin type but when it's colder out my skin definitely craves a hit of moisture. The thing I have learnt about incorporating a face oil into my routine is to not apply too much, normally 2-3 drops do the trick for my skin.

Product Recommendation: Natural Face Oil For Men.

*The Base Collective: The Base Collective is an Australian brand that centres around Magnesium that goes into their products which range from body balms, body washes, face serums and so on. 

I like using their Magnesium Beauty Sleep Spray With Lavender before bed and it helps to immediately calm me down and set me up for a good nights sleep.

One of the products I have been using lately is their Glow Restore Triple Serum which is a bit of an all rounder as it contains ingredients that help to hydrate the skin, even out skin tone and calm and soothe the skin. As it's very cold at this moment in Melbourne I am incorporating as many nourishing products into my routine as possible and this has fit into my routine perfectly.

Product Recommendations: Glow Restore Triple Serum, Magnesium Beauty Sleep Spray With Lavender.

*Synergie Skin: Synergie Skin is a brand that has always been on my personal radar and over the years I have tried bits and pieces from the range, as of late I have been lucky enough to try and few serums from the range and have been very impressed with everything that I have tried.

I was recommended three serums based on my current skincare concerns which are blemishes and post-inflammatory pigmentation and all three serums have easily incorporated into my daily routine.

The thing I love about these serums is how active they are and how quickly I saw results in my skin, I love how lightweight they are and how quickly they absorb into my skin as I am someone who likes to layer my serums and these make it easy to do so.

The website offers a quiz which you can do to find out what products are right for you and they also offer a range of kits which make it a great way to try different things from the brand.

Product Recommendations: Vitamin B 13% Essential Niacinamide Serum, Blem-X Blemish Control Serum, Enlighten Skin Brightening Serum.
