Skincare lovers are in for a treat, Adore Beauty's very first brick and mortar Perth store is ready to open its doors, and the early skincare bird is truly set to get the proverbial worm as the first 300 customers through the doors will be gifted a free goodie bag packed with 15 deluxe samples, so if you see me in line tomorrow during office hours, no you didn't.
Here's what you need to know. Adore Beauty's first Perth store opens at Westfield Carousel on Thursday 26 June, and to truly cater to Perth's beauty loving crowd a second store will open at Westfield Booragoon on Thursday 10 July, and will be Adore Beauty's very first stores outside of Victoria.
What can you expect? Everything you love about the online store, and so much more (and yes, that includes Tim Tams). Going IRL means upping the ante, with both locations offering in-store treatments abd on-hand dermal therapists. So if you’re in need of some TLC, head to the private treatment room where you can choose from a range of treatments, including free skin consultations, LED light therapy, and facials. Plus, the cost of your treatment is redeemable on product, and I've crunched the girl math on that and you can't afford not to.
A dedicated K Beauty section will also cater to followers of the many cult category brands, with products from Biodance,COSRX, Sulwhasoo, Innisfree, and more on offer, while a state-of-the-art skin analysis system will be available to provide an in-depth understanding of your skin, so if you’re not sure what’s causing your skin to freak out - this is for you.
There's no quantity over quality debate here either. You'll be able to browse products from over 90 of Adore Beauty's brands in-store, but if that's not enough digital kiosks give you access to the full online product suite. Win-win.
With all that goodness on offer, you'd best believe we’re already mentally shopping the shelves. From cult K Beauty buys to luxe red-light masks, here are a few of the products we’re lining up for come opening day. Add to cart (or your in-store basket), stat.

Red light masking has become the perfect habit stacking base for a wellness moment for me, so I’m ready to take things to the next level. Therabody’s mask offers three LED light therapy technologies, with red, blue or a red and infrared combo. Treatments take nine minutes, it’s hands free, and, on chilly winter days the gentle warmth is like a friendly hug to the face. Win, win, win.
Ultra Violette Supreme Screen Hydrating Skinscreen SPF50+

Say it with me. Summer sunscreen habits are made in winter. Chemical, mineral, just make sure it's on that pretty face of yours. My pick? Ultra Violette’s Supreme Screen. She’s SPF50+, because we deserve nothing less, super hydrating, and acts as a great primer. That being said, you really can’t go wrong with any of the Ultra Violette range.
COSRX Advanced Snail Radiance Dual Essence

They have a cult following for a reason, and I’m super excited that Adore Beauty’s new Perth stores will have K Beauty hubs for me to explore some new brands. And while I’ll definitely be perusing some newbies, I’ll also be stocking up on my tried and true, the COSRX Snail Radiance Dual Essence. Yes, I said snail, but this is some seriously hardworking secretion, and an absolute holy grail for my chronically dry skin.
Embryolisse Lait-Creme Concentre Cream

Another non-negotiable for my thirsty skin is my daily dose of Embryolisse. The French just do skincare right, and this product is no exception. The cream goes on light but is intensely hydrating and provides a smooth base underneath makeup. You can get this in a smaller tube, but take my advice, you’ll want the large and you get better bang for your buck with it too.
Kérastase Nutritive 8 Hour Magic Night Hair Serum

Looking for long, lush locks? Our account manager swears by this overnight treatment, and will be stocking up on a bottle or two on opening day. A lightweight serum promising to return softness and moisture to your hair while you sleep. Double down on your haircare and sleep on a silk pillowcase to really maximise the benefits of the mask.
