The Glamorpuss Philosophy
We love beauty products so we opened Glamorpuss Cosmetics in 2002.
For the first time in New Zealand, a dedicated cosmetics store offered a selection of niche luxury brands, including the now famous Lip Venom by DuWop, the world’s first lip plumper that inspired an entirely new beauty category.
We spend a lot of our time trialling new products, take great care in selecting our brands, and only stock those that we absolutely adore.
We also have a very important criterion for everything in our store: Glamorpuss Cosmetics is strongly opposed to animal cruelty and we will not stock any brands or products that are tested on animals.
We hope you will enjoy our products as much as we do.
Kind regards,
Marianne Welch and Rachel McNaughton
Founders, Glamorpuss Cosmetics
