Hourglass only celebrated its 20th birthday last year — but in the beauty industry, it might as well be 200.To celebrate, it launched a pop-up space that paid homage to its first retail partner, Barneys New York, during New York Fashion Week last September. On March 27, Hourglass reopened the space as a permanent flagship. Cast in a quarry of earth tones, it’s a more muted, intimate setting for the glossy makeup label; a grown-up Hourglass.It’s also the latest example of a brand leaning on its history — be it 20 or 2,000 years old — to inform its latest moves, expand its footprint and generally shore up its position in the crowding contemporary beauty market. “Some people have just discovered us, and then other people are like, ‘You’re a heritage brand,‘” said Carisa Janes, who founded the upscale cosmetics line in 2004 after developing products for Urban Decay. “I never thought I would be here long enough to hear that.”Thanks to the relentless pace of beauty trends and launches, where an era-defining look seems to rise and fall every other week — slugging, Kontouring, blueberry milk nails — brands are reaching heritage status more quickly than ever. With so much newness, beauty labels across categories have struggled to maintain their core message while simultaneously evolving to adapt to today’s customers. The evidence is in recent campaigns, from the 50 year-old MAC Cosmetics (featuring Julia Fox and sex education) or the 110 year-old Neutrogena (featuring John Cena and meme-driven marketing.) Hourglass recently cast nepo pop star Gracie Abrams as the face of its Illusion Priming Moisturiser.The task for heritage brands across categories is to preserve their history while updating it for today’s beauty conversation. The Hungarian skincare collection Omorovicza, inspired by the 17th century mineral water spas of Budapest, is undergoing a change to more eco-friendly packaging (with new colours taken from the palettes of bathhouses). Björn Axén, the namesake label of the Swedish Royal Family’s hairdresser, is using their seal of approval to break into markets around Europe and beyond. “Every time I tell the [brand’s] history, people get fascinated,” said Johan Hellström, chief executive and owner of Björn Axén. “I think so many brands today try to create a story, rather than actually have one.” Flexing Your RootsHow old can a brand’s heritage be? For the UK-based skincare line Omorovicza (pronounced oh-more-o-veet-za), the story stretches back to the Late Cenozoic period, 34 million years ago. That’s when the convergence of tectonic plates beneath present day Hungary caused the formation of the Pannonian Basin, home to a number of mineral-rich hot springs. From the Roman empire into the present day, Europeans have flocked to Hungary to take the waters as a form of preventative medicine — a spa culture that endures today on a global scale.Stephen de Heinrich de Omorovicza, whose family owned and operated a bath in the 16th century, hopes to preserve that culture in the line of masks and muds he and his wife Margaret launched in 2006. This year, the brand is undergoing a digital refresh and packaging redesign to bring more of its past to its present, starting with a colour scheme that recalls the interiors of 16th century Hungarian baths. These pinks, beiges and pale sages are expressed through a more sustainable palette of materials, including recycled paper stock and post-consumer recycled caps. “We want to do more wordless storytelling,” de Heinrich said. Omorovicza's Elixir, its latest launch, reflects the brand's new design codes, which are inspired in part by the color palette of its Budapest bathhouse. (Omorovicza) The brand contracts a laboratory in Szeged, south of Budapest, to ferment its spring water into a proprietary Healing Concentrate, before distilling it into a range of 48 SKUs and sending it to department stores like Neiman Marcus and Selfridges or hotel spas at the Four Seasons or Oberoi properties. A few thousand kilometres north, the Swedish hairdresser label Björn Axén is cultivating its own cultural export. The brand, which was founded in 1963, enjoys a 92 percent awareness rate in its home country, according to Hellström, due in no small part to its eponymous founder’s role as the official coiffure of the Swedish Royal Family. (The crown issued a Royal Warrant to Axén in 1984, the year he launched his line, and his products bear the court’s seal today.) Axén passed away in 1993, willing his brand and business to his one-time assistant, Hellström, who now runs it with Peter Hägelstam, an Axén acolyte and hairdresser of Sweden’s Queen Silvia. Swedish hairdresser's label Björn Axén leans on the legacy of its eponymous founder, who tended to celebrities and dignitaries, and who passed away in 1993. (Björn Axén) Hellström knew Axén for several years, after, as an 18 year-old, he assisted the hairstylist for two weeks. But he remembers the late founder’s focus on home care as essential to maintaining salon-quality hair, an axiom that defines the brand’s mission today. One of his recent priorities is international expansion, and the brand now ships to 17 countries. Its home country’s growing refugee population has lifted the brand’s profile in unusual ways, with Hellström noting that Ukraine has become their largest export market.Everything Old Is New Again Hourglass hopes its new space will hearken back to its luxury retail roots. In the new Soho space, a point of sale is discreetly located out of sight, where sales associates process transactions as if in a luxury boutique. Hourglass’ first retail boutique in Los Angeles’ Venice Beach opened in 2014 but closed during the pandemic, and the brand’s 14 extant boutiques in China reflect a prior aesthetic era, all lacquered in black and chock full of digital interfaces. (The brand also has storefronts on apps like Douyin, Tmall and Xiaohongshu.)“Lots of screens,” Janes said, almost shuddering. By contrast, the new store favours events and in-real-life connections over digital interfaces. It will also play host to exclusive launches, an alternative to the brand’s specialty channels at Sephora and Ulta Beauty.The layout is centred on a modular set of marble blocks that display the brand’s gold-plated cosmetics. The fixtures can be rearranged to refresh the scenery, or re-stage the space for events like a master class with Billie Eilish’s makeup artist. Two seating areas invite shoppers to sip on coffee or champagne as they pore over palettes. The positive response to last fall’s Barneys pop-up, particularly its in-store events, fed the approach to the store’s creation. “Being able to do things that aren’t necessarily going to be right for Sephora might be right for this space,” Janes said. Since it was acquired by Unilever Prestige in 2017, Hourglass has become the keystone in the brand’s portfolio thanks to timely product launches and wide wholesale distribution. In fiscal third quarter earnings last October, the brand was called out for leading the division’s “strong double-digit growth” due to hero products like its Vanish Airbrush Concealer (launched in 2020, and expanded its shade range in 2025) and Veil Hydrating Skin Tint (launched in 2023). Janes said Hourglass is focused on getting its products into the hands of new customers. The store may be screenless, but the brand has made a concerted effort to market on social media; in 2024, awareness increased by 200 percent, while TikTok searches quintupled, according to a representative from the brand. “We know there’s a big opportunity for awareness with our brand,” Janes said. “There’s still lots of work to do, and customers to introduce Hourglass to.” Sign up to The Business of Beauty newsletter, your complimentary, must-read source for the day’s most important beauty and wellness news and analysis.

The Ultimate Guide to VEU Heat Pump Upgrades: Save Energy, Save Money

Introduction

Introduction to Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) Program

The Victorian Energy Upgrades (VEU) program is a government initiative aimed at helping residents reduce their energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. By encouraging the adoption of energy-efficient products and services, the program not only helps the environment but also lowers energy bills for households and businesses across Victoria.

Importance of Energy-Efficient Heating Solutions

Energy-efficient heating solutions are critical in today’s world where energy costs are rising, and the environmental impact of traditional heating systems is becoming more apparent. Heat pumps, in particular, are a game-changer, providing an efficient, sustainable way to heat your home while significantly reducing your carbon footprint.

Purpose of the Guide

This guide aims to provide comprehensive information on VEU heat pump installation and upgrades. We’ll cover everything from the benefits of heat pump systems and how they work, to the eligibility criteria and application process for the VEU program. Whether you’re considering upgrading your current system or installing a new one, this guide has all the information you need to make an informed decision.

Understanding VEU Heat Pump Upgrades

Explanation of Heat Pump Systems and Their Benefits

Heat pumps are innovative devices that transfer heat from one place to another, using a small amount of electricity. Unlike traditional heating systems that generate heat, heat pumps move heat from the outside air or ground into your home. This process is highly efficient, often producing three to four times the energy they consume.

Benefits of heat pump systems include:

1. Lower energy bills due to higher efficiency

2. Reduced greenhouse gas emissions

3. Year-round comfort, as many heat pumps can provide both heating and cooling

4. Improved indoor air quality

Overview of VEU Program and Eligibility Criteria

The VEU program, formerly known as the Victorian Energy Efficiency Target (VEET) scheme, provides incentives for homeowners to install energy-efficient systems, including heat pumps. To be eligible for the program, participants must reside in Victoria and meet specific criteria related to their existing heating systems and property type.

Specific Focus on Heat Pump Upgrades under VEU

The VEU program focuses on upgrading outdated and inefficient heating systems to modern, efficient heat pump systems. These upgrades are designed to reduce energy consumption and environmental impact, while also enhancing home comfort and reducing utility bills.

Benefits of VEU Heat Pump Upgrades

Financial Savings on Energy Bills

One of the most significant benefits of upgrading to a heat pump under the VEU program is the potential for substantial savings on your energy bills. Heat pumps are much more efficient than traditional heating systems, meaning they use less energy to produce the same amount of heat. This efficiency translates directly into lower energy costs.

Environmental Benefits: Reduced Carbon Footprint

By using less energy, heat pumps also help reduce your home’s carbon footprint. The VEU program’s focus on sustainable heating solutions is part of a broader effort to combat climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Upgrading to a heat pump is an excellent way to contribute to this important goal.

Enhanced Home Comfort with Efficient Heating Solutions

Heat pumps provide consistent, comfortable heating throughout your home. Unlike some traditional systems that can create hot and cold spots, heat pumps distribute heat evenly, ensuring every room stays at the desired temperature. This enhanced comfort is another compelling reason to consider a heat pump upgrade.

Eligibility and Application Process

Residential Eligibility Criteria for VEU Heat Pump Upgrades

To be eligible for a VEU heat pump upgrade, your property must be located in Victoria, and you must currently use a less efficient heating system. Specific criteria may vary, so it’s important to check the latest guidelines from the VEU program. Generally, homes using older electric, gas, or oil heating systems are prime candidates for upgrades.

Step-by-Step Guide to Applying for VEU Progra

1. Check Eligibility: Verify that your home and current heating system meet the VEU program’s eligibility criteria.

2. Find an Accredited Provider: Green User is a authorized provider who can assess your current system and recommend suitable upgrades.

3. Get a Quote: Request a detailed quote from us by clicking here, including the cost of the heat pump system and installation.

4. Apply for VEU Incentives: Submit the necessary documentation to apply for VEU incentives. We can assist with this process.

5. Schedule Installation: Once your application is approved, we will schedule the installation of your new heat pump system.

6. Enjoy the Benefits: Start enjoying the financial and environmental benefits of your upgraded heating system with us. Documentation Required for Application Submission

When applying for the VEU program, you will need to provide:

*Proof of residence in Victoria

* Details of your current heating system

*Any additional documentation requested by the VEU program to verify eligibility

Types of Heat Pump Upgrades Available

Overview of Different Heat Pump Systems Covered under VEU

The VEU program covers various types of heat pump systems, each designed to meet different heating needs. The main categories include heat pump hot water systems and heat pump space heating systems.

Heat Pump Hot Water Systems

Heat pump hot water systems are an energy-efficient alternative to traditional electric or gas water heaters. They work by extracting heat from the air and using it to heat water stored in a tank. This process can significantly reduce your energy consumption and costs associated with hot water heating. For heat pump hot water upgrades in Victoria, this option is particularly popular.

Heat Pump Space Heating Systems

Heat pump space heating systems provide efficient heating for your entire home. They can be ducted systems that distribute heat through a network of ducts, or split systems that heat specific rooms or areas. Both options offer high efficiency and consistent, comfortable heating.

Explanation of Their Functions and Benefits

Heat pump hot water systems and space heating systems both operate on the same basic principle of transferring heat from one place to another. The primary benefits include lower energy consumption, reduced greenhouse gas emissions, and enhanced home comfort. Additionally, these systems often come with advanced features such as programmable thermostats and smart controls, allowing you to optimize their performance further.

Installation Process

Finding Accredited Providers for VEU Heat Pump Installations

To ensure your heat pump installation is eligible for VEU incentives, it’s essential to work with an accredited provider, Green User is one of the best provider in Victoria. We are certified by the VEU program to install energy-efficient systems and help you navigate the application process.

Scheduling and Preparing for the Installation

The next step is to schedule your installation. We will typically conduct a pre-installation assessment to determine the best heat pump system for your home and prepare a detailed installation plan. Preparing for installation may involve:

1. Clearing the installation area

Solar Rebate Scheme Victoria | How Does it Work?

Government generates renewable energy certificates.

The government compels fossil fuel generators to either build a certain amount of renewable generation (wind/solar power) or buy the right to the other people’s renewable energy systems in the form of RECs.

When you install a solar system on your roof, the government gives you a certain number of RECs depending on how much energy your system creates, and the installation date.

RECs you get for your solar system are called “Small Scale Technology Certificates” (STCs).

We (your installer) sell these STCs to the fossil fuel generators to offset the upfront cost of your solar system.
