If you’re not familiar with the brand Elaluz, chances are you’ll know the brand Founder, Camila Coelho. We’ve had a girl crush on Camila forEVER, so when we heard she was creating a beauty brand, we couldn’t wait to try it, and honestly, we’ve loved every product drop since its launch in 2020.
Formulated with high-performing clean ingredients, each product delivers consistent results, hence why it’s constantly getting rave reviews from influencers and pro-MUAs! But Camila hasn’t limited herself to one category, nor does she create “filler” products. She sells products that she believes are missing in the market with intention and integrity. Her line currently stocks a stunning mix of glow-getting makeup drops, luxe skincare offerings, and must-have body products like her Clean Deodorant, $14.
Product pick: We’re bringing it back to her first product drop with the lip + cheek stain, $18, because it’s just SO good. Minimal makeup lovers, this do-it-all tint is a no-brainer!

The brand debuted with Aceite de Moska, $28, a heritage scalp oil that promotes shiny, healthy hair, and now features a range of rich haircare solutions, from aloe-vera infused mists to guava sprays.

Despite the fact that Ere Perez is actually a Bondi Beach-born skincare and makeup brand, it’s inspired by Ere Perez’s childhood in Mexico. Her family was constantly making natural remedies at home, and her grandfather was, in fact, a medicine man, so formulating beautiful, botanical-infused formulas is in her DNA, and that’s very much reflected in her brand ethos and inkey list. From Perez’s multi-tasking papaya balm to her beetroot cheek and lip tint, Ere Perez’s collection uses nourishing ingredients sourced from mother nature to amp up your beauty routine. We also have to take a minute to mention the minimalist packaging. One word: obsessed.
