Reuse-Recycle
If you cherish the bottles of your beloved fragrances, you’ll be pleased to know that you no longer have to throw them away after your last spritz. Brands such as Giorgio Armani and Paco Rabanne have adapted their bottles to make them refillable and recyclable, so all you have to do is head back to the shops for a top up.

Paco Rabanne FAME 50ml EDP, $162 at Myer
Brush Wisely
Rethink your routine and invest in products that work twice as hard, like Benefit’s Precisely, My Brow Eyebrow Pencil, which has a wax formula to fill in your brows and a dual end brush to achieve fluffy fullness. Or give Hourglass’ Lighting Edit Brush a whirl – it’s perfect for your powders, creams and liquids. Simply use one end for your foundation, and then switch for your blush or bronze.
