| SKINCARE |

Ultraceauticals Skincare      

Great unisex range – fuss-free and works (no fragrance or fancy packaging but has active ingredients to improve your skin)  - an Australian brand.

Cosmedics                                       

An amazing luxury skincare range that is extremely effective and they do an amazing range of salon treatments too – an Australian brand.

My Favourite Products:

Becca

Charlotte Tilbury                                 

Love their bronzers, highlighters, lip liners and lipsticks.

Too Faced                                           

I am obsessed with matte eyeshadows.  As we age we need to tone down the shimmers as they attract light to all the wrong places around the eyes.  This matte eyeshadow palette is beautiful in everyday colours and easy to apply.

MAC Cosmetics                                 

Great range of lipsticks!

Skindinavia                                         

I never do makeup without using a setting spray to keep it place (especially for photo shoots and bridal).  Megan also stocks this range.

Michelle Price in her own words:

Digital news is fast-paced and immediate and gives me the chance to put everything I can into a story.

Two years ago I created a role from the ground up, delivering local, state and national news to the masses across Queensland.

My passion is getting the news you need to know to you, with a positive spin where possible. There’s enough doom and gloom out there without me adding to it.

I am now offering Mentorship and Spiritual PR courses. Get in touch with me below.
