Editors Letter

Well, what a spectacular night was had at the recent Australian Beauty Industry Awards!

On Sunday the 21st of August over 500 guests attended our Gala event at the Grand Ballroom at The Star Sydney, for our annual ABIA awards ceremony. It was an incredible night, and so wonderful to get together after what has been a very challenging couple of years! To finally being able to all be together, celebrating each other’s achievements and success was just so beautiful. So many well deserving individuals, teams, and businesses. So many hugs and kisses all round, and lots of tears after many heartfelt and beautiful speeches were made!

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to support each finalist and our industry. As my first ABIA’s as Editor of Beauty Magazine, it was such a huge treat for me, and I feel so blessed to have met so many of you in person for the first time over the Beauty Expo and the ABIA weekend.

The winners of the Beauty Squad were announced on the night, which is super exciting and plans are now underway for our Beauty Squad house event! I can’t wait to spend 3 days on the Gold Coast in the house with these amazing individuals! They are in for a huge treat! With guest icons and experts coming into the house to mentor them, with all the amazing gifts from our sponsors, a day shadowing with Gay Wardle, and spoiling them with my culinary skills! lol… They are just going to be blown away… a truly life changing few days are going to be had.

In this issue we spend 10 minutes with our gorgeous online editor of mocha, and makeup extraordinaire Chereine Waddell, we get you prepped and ready for Christmas and for heading into 2023 with our social media, marketing, and business experts.

So much goodness all wrapped up into one fabulously glossy magazine!

Before I sign off, I just want to remind you of the importance of keeping your finger on the pulse, by doing a regular business health check (Quarterly is ideal)

With interest rates rising, the cost of goods going up, superannuation increasing and the recent increasing of wages, it is so important to make sure that you know where your numbers are at.

Do you know your breakeven? Are you priced for profit?

If not and you need some guidance, reach out! There is a plethora of help right here for you, with the amazing contributors inside this magazine.

Until next time,
