What Do Adore Beauty Staffers Actually Spend Their Own Money On?


Ab staffers staff orders Ab staffers staff orders

Think of Adore Beauty staffers as your beauty-obsessed BFFs.

We’re a beautiful bunch of different skin tones, ages and also have varying skin and hair types and concerns.

Working for Australia’s leading beauty e-tailer, we’ve tried an apocalyptic amount of beauty products. So if we’re adding something to our own carts -  you know it’s worth trying!

Despite being a beauty editor myself, I’m always curious as to what my beauty-enthusiast colleagues are adding to their own carts/staff orders each month.

So instead of creepily pestering them at their desks (turns out this isn't the best use of everyone’s time) I thought I’d ask these beauty buffs to send me exactly what they’re willing to spend their own money on so I can share it with you guys!

So save yourself the ‘best beauty products Australia’ Google search and start right here.

Keep scrolling for what these AB team members are adding to their carts (and yes, I’ve already been heavily influenced by many of these answers).

What Nikki is buying in her next staff order:

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation

Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Concealer

"In my staff order, I'm including both the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Concealer. These iconic Giorgio Armani makeup products have a beautiful lightweight texture and give my skin an incredibly silky finish.

I absolutely adore the no-makeup makeup look, and these products are perfect for achieving it."

What Maddy is buying in her next staff order:

Glasshouse Fragrances RENDEZVOUS 380g Soy Candle

"I am a big scent girlie, and I absolutely adore this bright, feminine Glasshouse fragrance. It's fairly under the radar for the brand but it's the perfect candle to burn this time of year as the weather heats up."

STRAAND The Miracle Worker Prebiotic Scrub

"I love the STRAAND haircare brand - their scalp brush is currently sitting in my shower ready for my next hair wash day. With the hotter weather, I'm putting my hair through its paces and my scalp needs some extra love - and this is the perfect product for that."

Anastasia Beverly Hills Mini Modern Renaissance Eyeshadow Palette

"As soon as I saw ABH were coming out with a mini Modern Renaissance, it was on my to-buy list. This is such an iconic colour story and it's so wearable for so many skin tones AND looks. Plus it's the perfect size to travel with. What more could you want?"


Jess, Customer Experience.

What Jess is buying in her next staff order:

Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel

"In my staff order, I'll be adding the Benefit 24 Hour Brow Setter Clear Brow Gel. There doesn't seem to be any other brow gel on the market that can tame my brows like this one can!"

Lanolips Tinted Lip Balm SPF30 - Rhubarb

"I'll also be adding in the Lanolips Tinted Lip Balm SPF30 in shade 'Rhubarb'. I've been using this for a while now and I won't ever look back. It keeps my lips super hydrated and I like the subtle pop of colour it gives."

Skinstitut Laser Aid

Lastly, I'll be adding in the Skinstitut Laser Aid. I go through this so quickly because it has so many different purposes. I use it to soothe the skin after laser hair removal, as an overnight face mask to calm any redness and it'll also come in handy for after sun relief coming into summer!"


Chloe, Brand Partnerships Coordinator.

Chloe Night before Christmas Chloe Night before Christmas

What Chloe is buying in her next staff order:

CIRCA Oceanique Diffuser - 250ml

CIRCA Oceanique - 5 Replacement Scent Stems

"If my partner found out how much I actually spend on home fragrance, I think there'd be a bit of a tiff. In saying that, I can't stop and I will not stop.

So what's in my next AB order you ask? I get a CIRCA Oceanique Diffuser and the CIRCA Oceanique Replacement Scent Stems every 2-3 months. This leaves such a gorgeous aquatic aroma and I definitely get a thrill when someone asks me "Why does it smell like men's cologne?"

Glasshouse Fragrances Night Before Christmas 380g Soy Candle

"The next item is very near and dear to my heart and that's because every year, I patiently wait for the Glasshouse Fragrances Night Before Christmas candle release.

My aunty got me my very first one in 2016 and I've been collecting them ever since. I can't tell you how much joy this candle brings me, when I get a whiff of the dancing sugar plums, it reminds me of my family and all of the exciting gatherings during festive season.

The vessel is stunning this year, I cannot wait to get my little hands on it!"


Laura, Marketing Coordinator (Hair, Makeup, Fragrance).

What Laura is buying in her next staff order:

georgiemane Purple Mask 200ml

"I am so excited to see Georgiemane has just launched on site - I'm a big fan of their Purple Hair mask and the colour it gives my blonde hair so can't wait to re-purchase."

Napoleon Perdis Lavish Liaisons Skin Pack

"As someone who layers SPF and primer before applying makeup this set looks divine. It also comes with a lip balm that tastes amazing so it's a win x 3."

CHLOÉ NOMADE EAU DE PARFUM 50ml

"I spritzed this at the office last week and fell in love! The floral fragrance settled on my skin so nicely all day and I think the office bottle will be quickly depleted if I don't buy my own soon."
