The VAMS Beauty 20% Off Afterpay Day Sale is Here
Here’s what I can’t stop recommending people consciously add to their cart.
VAMS Beauty is currently 20% off store wide for their Afterpay day sale.
If you haven’t heard of VAMS Beauty- they’re not just another retailer; they’re the ultimate online beauty sanctuary with a difference.
Stocking only women owned, Australian, curated beauty brands that are consistently high performing- VAMS Beauty has made their mark on the beauty and wellness marketplace.
Until this Sunday, the 30th of March, everything is 20% off for their Afterpay day sale.
Keep an eye out for the bundles available on the site, as you can grab a steal!
Here are my personal picks, as someone who’s shopped at VAMS Beauty often, and often purchases gifts from them for friend gifting.
Vani-T Lip Glaze Sheer Gloss, $20.76
Shop: Vani-T Lip Glaze Sheer Gloss
The fact I have two of these (one for the handbag, one for my desk) says a lot.
A plush, non sticky lippie that has me telling my beauty critical friends they have to try it.
What makes it a winner for me?
The subtle vanilla scent and taste that isn’t overpowering or has you cringing when you have to reapply.
The porcelain applicator is cooling on the lips, which I find way more comfortable than the popular cooling metal applicators.
Lip Glaze by Vani-t has made it into my favourite round ups for a few months now, and considering the endless lip product launches, it’s awesome this one has stood the test of time!
At this point, I do feel like I’m recommending this on repeat- but hear me out: More affordable than most drugstore picks these days, with amazing luxury quality.
I think it’s worth raving about.
By Yuliya Fragrances Twenty Four Seven Perfume Mist, $71.20
Shop: By Yuliya Fragrances Twenty Four Seven Perfume Mist
Fragrance is deeply personal, do I won’t push you to purchase a full size off the bat.
You’re able to get a travel duo of both By Yuliya scents for $48.00- and considering how strong, long lasting and high quality they are- go for it!
I’m not a fragrance girlie, but gosh do I enjoy smelling yummy.
There are some fragrance girlies I can whole heatedly recommend who have reviewed these scents, including the wonderful Praise Fadzai and ScentsWithSusan.
My newbie understanding of fragrance would say this is unique, layered, has amazing longevity, and will have you thinking you’ve actually purchased one of the $400+ perfumes from MECCA.

Fragrance Notes:
Top Notes – Zesty Citrus
Heart Notes – Jasmine
Base Notes – Sandalwood, Musk, Vanilla
Odesse Deep Orchid Perfume, $71.96
Shop: Odesse Deep Orchid Perfume
Trust me, you will find yourself umming and ahhing over what Odesse fragrance to add to cart. My humble opinion?
Deep Orchid is a crowd pleaser, and absolutely dreamy.
It’s an easy, welcoming daily scent that makes even the most livid floral haters fall in love.
A softer fragrance that feels like a compliment- it’s my pick of the three. If you’re after a Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe, your Odesse pick is absolutely their “Hotel Jasmine” scent.
Scent Notes:
Top Notes: Tea, Patchouli, Orchid
Heart Notes: Bergamot, Jasmine, Musk
Base Notes: Orange Flower, Freesia, Osmanthus
OVEV Wellness Hair Mask Renewal Bundle, $58.21
Shop: OVEV Wellness Hair Mask Renewal Bundle
You can buy this individually or in a bundle with the silicone head massager- which, by the way, rinses clean really easily and gives your scalp quite a nice massage.
You can also pick up a pack with two rounds of the hair mask. I think once you use it, you’ll be going back for the double bundle.
What will take you back immediately about this product is how absolutely gorgeous it smells.
When it comes to hair products- especially hair masks- taking that extra step to enjoy your shower and hair routine genuinely makes a lovely difference.
It smells oceanic, fresh, and clean in all the right ways.
My mum, who lost her hair to chemo and now has thinner, fragile hair, pointed out that it’s not often you come across a scalp scrub that’s this multifaceted.
Most tend to be hyper-focused on scratching off dead skin cells and are often in heavily stripping bases (you know the one, that super sharp salt scrub that just wasn’t made for us sensitive scalp-havers).
This one? Not at all.
It’s designed to nourish and calm even sensitive scalps.
The scrubbing particles aren’t sharp or irritating, and ingredients like Pro-Vitamin B5, Sapote Oil and Marine Microalgae help promote hair growth.
This is truly the ultimate hair mask plus scalp scrub.
Personally, I like applying it a little before I shower to let it soak into my roots and really do the work, then in the shower, I start to cleanse it out and enjoy that scrubbing action.
Bondi Blades Dermaplaning At Home Starter Kit, $31.96
Shop: Bondi Blades Dermaplaning At Home Starter Kit
If you’ve ever wondered whether to shave your face at home, this is absolutely the way to go.
Hair removal is obviously a super personal choice, but the Bondi Blades are high quality and make the decision (if you make it) super easy.
Beginner friendly to use, I’ve never had any nicks or cuts using them.
The shaving gel that comes with the kit gives you a beautiful amount of slip, is non-comedogenic, and makes the routine easy.
If you do this every two to three weeks, it’s definitely worth having something specifically set aside for it.
You can also buy the blades and shaving gel separately.
Wispy Hair Wax/Pomade Stick, $19.19
Shop: Wispy Hair Wax/Pomade Stick
Perfection.
I’ve gotten a few people onto this and gifted it several times. Firstly—it smells amazing.
(Are you sensing a theme here?) I love fresh scents, and this delivers.
Beyond the scent, it doesn’t weigh down your hair or make it look oily or dirty.
It genuinely does exactly what it says it does- which, to be fair, is more than can be said for plenty of products on the market these days.
The fact that it’s under $20 right now makes it a total steal.
There’s so much product in this stick that I honestly think it’s going to last forever.
Peeper Keeper Beauty Reusable Eye Masks in “Create”, $28.00
Shop: Peeper Keeper Beauty Reusable Eye Masks in “Create”
It locks in your eye cream- or even just your usual moisturiser- and helps keep that hydration in place.
You get a bit of temporary smoothing (which is always satisfying), but more importantly, it helps prevent moisture from evaporating, giving the skin under your eyes a little boost.
Multi-use, you’re able to use it as a makeup shield if you’re working with eyeshadow.
They adhere to the skin really well, easy to clean, and they come in a reusable aluminium tin, which really rounds out the ritual.
This is my go-to gift for people who are between jobs or taking a break.
It’s such a lovely way to say “I care about your rest, and you deserve rest.”
Gunk Off Melting Balm Cleanser, $44.00
Shop: Gunk Off Melting Balm Cleanser
If you’ve been following me for longer than a day, you already know I’m gaga over this cleanser.
It’s been in my routine forever and I just adore it.
High-performing, fragrance-free, and the ultimate lush cleansing balm for anyone who wants a truly rich, melty, lifts-everything-off-the-skin kind of balm that also rinses completely clean.
The emulsification is honestly a dream.
I know I’ve already put so many of you onto this product before.
For a while, it was only available on the Gunk Off website, but it’s now stocked on VAMS Beauty and comes in a tube, which is just fab.
I often keep it in the shower for when I’ve forgotten to do my first cleanse- normally I do that before hopping in, but this lets me do it in the shower without any issue.
Skoop Skincare Skin Shield, Anti-Chafe Balm, $21.56
Shop: Skoop Skincare Skin Shield, Anti-Chafe Balm
Skoop is a fantastic brand and I shout it from the rooftops because it’s actually solving problems.
If you’ve ever felt like some products only work for people who are already thin, pretty, and non-sweaty—same.
I feel that in my core.
The Skoop chafing balm works on truly thick, sweaty thighs.
Their whole range is designed for sweaty babes and this product, in particular, stands out.
It’s lightly scented but not overpowering, you don’t need to use much, and it just works.
I also love their Babe Blotters, which are infused with green tea, hemp and wood pulp. Isn’t that cool?
They don’t disturb your makeup at all, and has stood the test even on the sweatiest mustache days.
By Yuliya Fragrances Twin Flame Perfume Mist, $71.20
Shop: By Yuliya Fragrances Twin Flame Perfume Mist
If you’ve ever wanted to smell like rose water Turkish delight—this is for you.
It makes my Middle Eastern heart so happy.
The longevity on this scent is strong and impressive.
That kind of lasting power on a soft scent feels really special.
I know rose isn’t always an easy sell, especially for younger people, but this one is so unique, it might just change your mind.
Fragrance Notes:
Top Notes: Lush Rose & Exotic Saffron
Heart Notes: Juicy Blackcurrant & Warm Spices
Base Notes: Golden Amber, Sensual Musk & Sweet Vanilla – warm, creamy and irresistibly long-lasting
LAMAV Sweet Orange Balancing Cleanser, $28.00
Shop: LAMAV Sweet Orange Balancing Cleanser
A gorgeous, experiential cleanser that has a true lather but isn’t stripping.
It smells like sweet orange (divine), and the pump bottle makes it super easy to use.
This is one of those no-brainer cleansers that just works.
It does what it says it will, and it’s currently a staple in my routine.
What will you Shop?
Let me know if there’s anything from this list you’re excited to try—or if there are any women-owned brands I should check out next.
Thanks for reading!
