  • Written by Tessa Forbes

Kmart Australia offers an extensive and affordable range of beauty products, covering skincare, makeup, and fragrances. Their own brand, OXX, features prominently across all categories.

In skincare, Kmart provides a variety of essentials at budget-friendly prices. Shoppers can find cleansers, serums, moisturisers, wipes, masks, and exfoliators, alongside skincare tools. The OXX Skincare line is a key part of this offering, ensuring accessible options for daily routines.

For makeup, Kmart's range caters to various looks, from everyday essentials to full glam. The selection includes foundations, concealers, bronzers, contours, blushes, highlighters, setting powders, face primers, and setting sprays. The OXX Cosmetics collection is a staple in their makeup aisle, designed to suit diverse styles and preferences.

Kmart also boasts a growing collection of fragrances, including their popular OXX Fragrance line. This range features new scents designed to elevate every moment, often including fun, fruity, and floral notes. Notable offerings include the OXX Summer Solstice collection with scents like Beach Bliss (caramel, almond, vanilla), Pink Tropic (tropical flower, jasmine, musk), Coconut Waves (coconut, hazelnut, vanilla), and Jasmine Sun (floral, vanilla, musk). They also offer fragrance and perfume gift sets, providing options for personal use or gifting.

Kmart Australia has rapidly built a reputation for delivering affordable, often Australian‑made, cruelty‑free and trend‑driven beauty and skin‑care products—all while bringing high‑value ingredients and viral packaging to bargain shelves across the country.

🇦🇺 1. Aussie-Made Skincare with Quality Ingredients

Kmart’s Anko and OXX skincare lines include a broad range of moisturisers, serums, cleansers, sheet masks, and treatments. Key active ingredients include:

Launched with locally produced credentials, many of these products are proudly Australian made, formulated without parabens, and often infused with native botanicals like rosehip oil, tea tree or manuka honey—all at price points typically between $2 and $6. The New Daily

Dermal clinicians reviewing them on platforms like TikTok have evaluated this budget lineup, noting they can be effective for gentle daily routines—even if complex skin concerns may require higher‑end options. 7NEWS

2. Hero Products You’ll Find at Kmart

$6 Serums & Moisturisers

Serums targeting hydration, repair, or brightening, and moisturisers with niacinamide or vitamin C are standout picks. beautyheaven+3ELLE+3cosbeauty.com.au+3

Sheet Masks & Pimple Patches

Hydrating masks (often about $2.25) and blemish spot patches (around $4) make for fuss‑free, single‑use care. 7NEWS+3beautyheaven+3Couturing.com+3

Face Kits

The Formula 10.0.6 Daily Essentials set includes a foaming cleanser, toner, clay mask, and mattifying moisturiser—an easy multi‑step starter pack. Kmart Australia+1beautyheaven+1

3. Trendy & Influencer-Loved Makeup

Launched under the OXX Cosmetics label, collections like Sparkling Rose, Summer Solstice and viral body tools span:

The Sparkling Rose line, in particular, has stirred discussion online—some praising the design and price while others critique its quality vs. similar prestige brands. News.com.au

4. Cruelty-Free Commitment

Kmart Australia’s private-label beauty brands, OXX and Anko, have earned Leaping Bunny approval, meaning no animal testing was involved at any stage of development or sourcing. This marks a significant milestone in affordable cruelty-free beauty in Australia. News.com.au+15style.nine.com.au+15News.com.au+15

5. Cautions You Should Know

Despite the appeal, there's at least one serious safety incident: a hyaluronic acid cleansing balm reportedly caused severe eye pain and blurred vision in a teen, leading to hospitalisation. That product has since been withdrawn while investigations continue. Daily Telegraph

Experts also suggest that some of the electronic beauty tools (like at-home microdermabrasion wands or LED gadgets) are gimmicky and may not deliver long-term skincare benefits. News.com.au+1Daily Telegraph+1

6. Why Kmart Beauty Stands Out

For shoppers in Brisbane and across Australia, it's an accessible way to experiment with ingredients like niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C or retinol without the usual financial risk.

📝 Final Thoughts

Kmart Australia’s beauty and skincare offerings deliver a compelling mix of budget-friendliness, ingredient transparency, and social media flair. Perfect for skincare novices or casual beauty fans testing trends, it’s an easy win—just keep an eye out for recalls, read labels carefully, and patch test new products, especially if you have sensitive skin.

Have you tried their OXX serums or Anko moisturisers yet?
