who?listic: a new discovery

LEPAAR creates natural, sustainable & ethical beauty in Australia, with an elevated vision that’s inspiring. I saw their products on the wonderful OMG Bart and was like WHO??? MADE??? THIS???

The founders, Christo and Joanna Everingham, ​divide their time between the iconic Bondi Beach and their 100 acre property in the pristine Kangaroo Valley. Now seems like a good time to announce that they are my new parents and I couldn’t be more excited about this adoption…. [LOL/cries]. 

Anyway … they refer to their ethos as “Wholistic Luxury, dedicated to the fine art of composing ‘whole' things, be that skincare, objects, clothing or - don't laugh - gardenhoses.” (I am not laughing about a good garden hose! - those things are essential).

You can really sense this in their beauty offering. The packaging is gorgeous, with hand-finished touches like wax seals and stitched paper enclosures; while the insides are supernaturally pretty but feel very pure and earthy.

These lip balms are faint-worthy and so giftable:

The Velvet Sole Lip Balm is beeswax based. It’s clear formula is a protective lip balm that adds moisture and shine. The tinted balms are so gorgeous for skin and lips, with the Golden Sole Face + Lip Balm in a warm gold, the Tangerine Sole Lip Balm in a rich bronze, and the Rose Sole Lip Balm in a bitten dark cherry.

Also not shown here is one of my beloved addictions - their Zen Matcha Cashmere Reforming Night Serum. It’s rich emerald green, and smells like a garden that’s growing the world’s most potent ganja (though it doesn’t contain). I’m just going to drop the gist of the incredible ingredient list here: olive oil, nettle leaf stem, matcha, wild jasmine, grapeseed oil, immortelle, aloe, avocado, milk thistle, frankincense, myrhh, and oh yeah 24 KARAT GOLD. This stuff is insane and healed a bad acne breakout of mine in 2 days. It’s an investment at $110 but well worth it if you want to add a potent natural serum to your regimen.
