As the BD family continues to grow and welcome more members, we’re very excited to introduce our six new recruits - Luxcurly, MonoDermà, Sea Siren, Ultraderm, Weleda and WONDERSTRIPES. To find out more about each, BD looks at the brand’s background, what makes it special, and why you should be popping them in your next editorial...
Claim to fame: The self-rotating function makes Luxcurly distinct from any other curling iron on the Australian market. The adjustable temperature setting is great to suit any hair type to achieve optimum results.
Why media want to feature this brand: Luxcurly is the answer for curling iron amateurs and time-conscious women who want to get luxurious curls in an instant.
Brand’s claim to fame: MonoDermà is different from any other product available in Australian pharmacy. Each MonoDermà treatment comes encased in a unique technology called MonoDermoDose® - a biodegradable jelly container offering significant advantages over tubes, jars and dispensers. This unique technology prevents the product from coming into contact with air and light, and therefore offers absolute hygiene and potency with every application.
Why media want to feature this brand: MonoDermà’s unique and convenient packaging means it lends itself for use away from home and during travel, making it an essential beauty product for the modern-day woman who is constantly on the go. MonoDermà’s distinctive packaging also makes it ideal for magazine photography.
