With the long weekend only hours away, and summer in full swing, there's no time like the present to champion some really great Australian beauty products (hey, it wasn't just Tim Tams that put us on the map). Our lucky country is actually the producer of some damn impressive beauty exports, and no, I'm not just talking about Miranda Kerr and Lara Worthington. From well-known, iconic products to unheard of gems, some of the greatest discoveries of my life didn't need to cross any oceans to find their way into my vanity. Below, I've rounded up 11 of my absolute Aussie favourites that I can seriously vouch for. If you're #blessed with a little extra time this long weekend, some online shopping might be just the trick. The best part about homegrown brands? The shipping is almost always free. Zoe Foster-Blake is beauty royalty, in my opinion. I admit, I may have been slightly persuaded Go-To was the bomb.com when it landed on my desk accompanied by a giant Toblerone, but this face cream is actually the business. It's packed with plant oils and antioxidants to keep skin clear and hydrated.
