+ Affiliate programs are welcome under strict conditions. I will not join an affiliate program or offer discount codes to my readers unless I can 100% stand by the brand and products offered. I would rather support smaller Australian cosmetic businesses that meet my requirements and offer quality products that I would be happy to recommend to my readers. This means no MLM services, laxatives posing as tea, or big influencer type discount codes will ever be offered on this blog. I like to keep things real here!
