Recent Property Purchases and Sales
Celeste has built a substantial property portfolio in the last few years. Some of her notable property purchases include:
- A $1.175million penthouse in 2019
- A $477,000 apartment purchased a year later
- A $259,000 studio apartment in Sydney’s Stanmore bought in 2009 and sold for $320,000 five years later
These purchases demonstrate her ability to adapt to changing property markets and her willingness to invest in diverse properties.
Celeste’s Beauty Venture
Celeste announced her entry into the beauty sector in 2024, launching an affordable makeup brand called Booie Beauty. The brand offers a range of products, including lipsticks, tints, and mascaras. Some of the popular products include:
- The Where The Hell Is My…? Nourished Lip Stick in three colours for $28 each
- The Bam! Bam! Lip, Cheek and Eye Tint in two shades for just $22
- The You’re Welcome Mascara Tubular Mascara for $31 (although it has sold out)
Celeste’s experience in promoting products has helped her to develop a strong track record in the beauty sector. In 2021, she released a beauty tool that became highly sought-after by makeup enthusiasts. The Booie Beauty brand has the potential to bring affordable and accessible makeup options to the market.
A Tale of Two Brands
The $28 mascara, which promises to maximise length, curl, and volume without flaking or smudging, is a budget-friendly imitation of the cult-favourite Kevyn Aucoin’s The Volume Mascara, which costs $53 at cosmetics stores like Sephora. Celeste’s approach to marketing a product has been well-received by her audience, and her ability to understand the needs of her customers has helped to drive sales.
Celeste was at the time the face of Australian cosmetics line MCoBeauty, and plugged her favourite products – including the mascara from the brand. ‘Honestly, I’m the last person who should be giving beauty advice, so I won’t,’ she said at the time. ‘All I’ll say is I’m absolutely obsessed with the products. The XtendLash tubular mascara is the best I’ve ever tried.’
In this way, Celeste has demonstrated her expertise in both the property and beauty sectors. With her strong track record in marketing and promoting products, she has built a reputation as a savvy businesswoman who is not afraid to take risks.
