YOUR AUS DAY CELEBRATIONS CHECKLIST 

You need it? We’ve got it! The only checklist you’ll need to kick off the patriotic party of the year. You’re welcome. 

THE FLAG
Whether it’s flying high from the rooftop or wrapped around you as a makeshift cape, Australia Day calls for a giant flag! Check out your local cheap store to find one.

TRIPLE J ‘HOTTEST 100’
It would be a crime to listen to anything else this Australia Day, so make sure you’ve got your loudest and largest radio tuned in.

A KILLER TAN
Let’s face it, a long weekend of celebrations is much more fun being bronzed up! Get glowing with our high-performing, streak-free selection of tanning products here. 

SLIP 'n' SLIDE
No pool or beach? No worries! Shake the dust off your Slip 'n' Slide (or giant sheet of plastic), grab a hose and get your slide on with family and friends.

COCKTAILS
No one would be able to remember an Australia day without a cocktail! Try creating this delicious watermelon spritz here! P.S. Stay safe by keeping hydrated while consuming alcohol and don’t forget hydration is key to keeping that killer tan lasting even longer!  

NATURAL, CRUELTY FREE, FLAWLESS MAKEUP
Our Mineral Powder Foundation or Mineral Liquid Foundation are the perfect skin-loving solutions for the long weekend. They don’t clog pores or have any nasty chemicals, but they DO look natural and help create a flawless complexion.

PAVLOVA
Whether its store bought, your mum’s or even yours… everyone loves a fruit-laced pav that they’ll regret eating 10 pieces of the next day. YUM!

TANNING TIPS TO GET THE MOST OUT OF YOUR FAKE TAN

EXFOLIATE
The most important step before applying any tan is exfoliating skin to remove all excess tan and dead skin cells that build up over time. This will ensure the longevity of your tan. For best results, use our Exfoliating Mitt and replace every 3 months.

KEEP HYDRATED
Drinking plenty of water isn’t only good for the body, but also good for the skin! The more water your consume, the more hydrated your skin is and the more flawless your tan will be for days on end.

MOISTURISE
Keeping skin hydrated with a moisturiser is key extending the life of your tan. After jumping out of the shower in the morning or night, use a rich moisturiser to feed your skin. We recommend twice daily for best results.

TOP IT UP
Keep the bronzed-glow lasting even longer with a gradual self-tanner. Our favourite Bronzing Custard contains self-tanning agent and is infused with Australian Kakadu plum, quandong, aloe vera, vitamins A & E, shea butter, luxurious botanical oils and skin firming properties your skin will love! You can also use this alone for a more natural, sun-kissed glow. 

COOL IT DOWN
Hot showers and baths = dry, flakey and dehydrated skin. Make sure you're showing and bathing in cooler temperatures to keep your tan looking fresh and flawless.
