Introducing our Woman of Worth: Ellyse Perry

2021 marks 50 years of L’Oréal Paris’ iconic tagline “Because I’m Worth It”, with these four simple words having become an iconic declaration of beauty and empowerment. In celebration, we are proud to announce our collaboration with Australian Cricket legend and 2020 ICC Cricketer of the Decade, Ellyse Perry who joins our Women of Worth. A keen student of high-performance training across various sports, and an innovator who adapts what she has learned into her own training, Ellyse has fought against every obstacle that has come her way and has emerged victorious every single time. Ellyse Perry’s transformation from a football player to a flag bearer of women’s cricket globally has been nothing short of exceptional and we are proud to be working with a woman of such worth.

About Ellyse

Arguably the best athlete in Australia, Ellyse Perry holds the distinction of having represented Australia in both cricket and soccer World Cups. Not only is Ellyse the youngest ever cricketer, male or female, to have represented Australia, she is also one of very few Australians to have represented her country in two different sports, and the only person ever to have played for Australia in both cricket and football World Cups. Currently, the world’s top-ranked women’s all-rounder, the ever-modest Ellyse’s many accolades include being named the ICC Women’s Cricketer of the Year in both 2017 and 2019 and three-times winning Australia’s prestigious Women’s International Cricketer of the Year (Belinda Clark Award) in 2016, 2018 and 2020. It’s no wonder Cricket Australia, not short of high achievers to draw upon, calls Ellyse “arguably the best athlete in Australia”. 

Away from the field, Ellyse has achieved many things and still has a long way to go in her career. Her philanthropic causes include being an ambassador for the McGrath Foundation, raising awareness for breast cancer in Australia. In November 2019, Ellyse released her first non-fiction book, Perspective, which features stories and reflections from her childhood and career on the themes of dreaming, belief, work, resilience, acceptance, opportunity, balance and perseverance – and their importance in everything she has achieved. 

Ellyse on Self Worth

“The L’Oréal Paris tagline is iconic and is more relevant than ever in 2021 as it serves as a positive affirmation and a reminder to be your authentic self and show confidence in all you do. The idea of self-worth has grown gradually for me and something that I continuously strive for. I think it comes more naturally with age and experience. At the end of the day, I know that I’ve worked hard to achieve what I have and I’m proud of myself.”

Ellyse’s Top L’Oréal Paris Products

So as our L’Oréal Paris Woman of Worth who operates both on and off the playing field, what products does Ellyse have to recommend? In order to manage the effects of long days playing, the Revitalift Filler 1.5% Hyaluronic Acid Serum is key in keeping her skin hydrated, alongside our new Revitalift Pure Retinol Night Serum for maintaining a smooth complexion. For her day-to-day makeup, she chooses the True Match Foundation for an easy to apply look!
