AUSTRALIA | Woolworths has made its mark as a beauty destination with the exclusive launch of BOOIE Beauty, co-founded by Australian comedian and actor, Celeste Barber and business partner, Claire Greaves.
Launching this month, BOOIE Beauty will debut with 10 everyday makeup essentials, including a BB Cream for glowy skin, a tubing mascara that won't budge, and a lip gloss for delicious lips.
The launch forms part of the evolution of Woolworths’ beauty and skincare offering, with the supermarket now offering more than 115 brands across make-up, skincare, beauty tools, nails, haircare, and more. Over the past three years, cosmetics sales at Woolworths have grown by 50 percent.
BOOIE Beauty co-founder Celeste Barber said the brand is for people who want to feel great without the fuss.
“We conceptualised BOOIE as a brand for people whom the beauty industry forgot about. For those who aren’t necessarily confident with makeup and who often feel totally overwhelmed by the abundance of choice, but still love makeup and would love to be included," said Barber.
“It’s that sweet spot between simple and affordable while also being excellent quality. I wanted the brand to be as accessible as possible, and there's nothing more accessible than your local Woolies, where you can pick up something for dinner, bananas, tampons and now, BOOIE.”
Annette Karantoni, Managing Director of Woolworths Retail, added that the team has been listening to its customers, looking for a convenient way to buy on-trend new beauty products while they do their grocery shopping.
"We’re proud to be supporting Celeste Barber and Claire Greaves - two Australians who have created a fantastic, high-quality brand that is fun and affordable," said Karantoni.
“BOOIE is another step in the evolution of our beauty range, making it easier for customers to find exciting, great value products they love.”
The BOOIE Beauty lineup includes everything customers need for their beauty bag and is now available in-store at Woolworths Supermarkets and Metro stores, and online.
