Beauty lovers hoping to try out the lip balm with cult status from Hayley Bieber’s Rhode Skin have to beg, borrow or invest in a place ticket overseas to buy one.
But now, Designer Brands (DB) Cosmetics have stepped up to fill the gap in the local market, launching a affordable dupe that’s set to rival Rhode’s viral peptide lip treatment.
The Aussie brand’s Pep Up Peptide Lip Treatment is a rich, deeply restorative formula packed with peptides to make lips nourished, smooth and plump – and it’s almost half the price of the original.
Already winning rave reviews from shoppers and influencers, the $16.99 product promises to lock in moisture with its key ingredients Vitamin E and Carnauba Wax, in addition to the peptides, which help lips from drying out and protect that precious skin barrier.
With price tag of $18USD for the Rhode treatment, which is over $27AUD, plus oversees shipping costs as the US range isn’t available from local stockists currently, the affordable DB product is being well-received by Australian beauty lovers.
