How great is little old New Zealand? We're an innovative wee dot on the map, not afraid of taking chances, of putting ourselves out there, of ignoring those who might try and chop our poppies down as they grow... especially in the beauty sphere. So many of our brands are wowwing the world... as well as us!
So what are ten top Kiwi brands creating top rated products that you, our Beauty Review community, love? Check these beauties out...
