All Bases Covered

EPISODE 111./

We’re high from our shopping spree and keen to tell the world what we spent all our cash on! 

Before recording this week, Lisa and Alex hit Chadstone Shopping Centre to take advantage of the Sephora VIB Sale and then of course popped into Mecca to take a sniff of some of their newest fragrances. 

This week in beauty news, Colourpop is launching a range with Lizzie McGuire, Vieve is dropping some GAWJUZ cream neutral eyeshadow sticks and Fenty has JUST Dropped their Eaze Tint face tint. Also this week, Adore Beauty has started the Global Shades campaign, leading the charge in pressuring the Australian Beauty industry to shop inclusive shade ranges.

This week our beauty trial is MCO Ambassador Celeste Barbers ‘top pick!’ - the MCO Xtend Lash Mascara. This is a ‘drugstore’ mascara retailing at around $25 and is available at Woolworths in Australia. It’s a bristly brush with a tubing formula so already ticking a few boxes before we trialled it, but you’ll have to listen to see what we think. 

Of course, rounding off the ep with some details beauty faves, non beauty faves and snacks! Please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts, Subscribe and follow us on IG @allbasescovered.pod to join in our next shopping trip.

It’s been a chonker of a week for Lisa and Alex, between an anniversary trip away, simultaneously, momentarily despising our partners and Lisa looking the most beautiful she’s ever looked in her life (so far cause wedding hasn’t happened yet), we have a little to bring you up to speed on! 

First up in beauty news this week, Rihanna has trademarked the name Fenty Hair to obviously bring hair care to her empire. It got us thinking, what other beauty brands out there (who aren’t retailers) are currently tackling ALL of the beauty realm? Don’t stop her now, she’s still got the fragrance category to cover and where do you think she’ll go next with this? Oddly, Ren Skincare found themselves in hot water this week after bringing out a new product with the name ‘British Summer Time’. Props to Ren for handling this gracefully and also, how fkn weird that anyone would trademark that in the first place?! We discuss… 

In a twist of fate and a drunk turn of events, we ended up trialling TWO Goop Beauty products this week - the Goop Microdermabrasion scrub and the Goop Glycolic Peel Pads. We haven’t heard a whole lot about these products other than that they’re uber expensive and as VERY big acid lovers, we have developed a lot of opinions about how efficacious these were for us! 

Also this week, we wanted to let you know that we can’t believe you didn’t know that you shouldn’t put foundation under your eyes. Guilty? Let makeup artist Lisa tell you why you’re wrong. 

Things Mentioned: 

• Fenty Hair: https://bit.ly/38Yc9Qy

EPISODE 109./

Hello pod fam! Happy new week and another new podcast episode. 

Lots of beauty news to cover from the last week, but firstly, we’ve gotta talk about Lisa’s Youfoodz hunger strike cause it’s the cause of her crazies in this episode. 

Kicking off news with another beauty Youtuber pregnancy announcement. Congratulations to Zoella on the announcement of her tiny baby prodigy and a big HA HA to everyone who said that her and Alfie no longer loved each other. 

Next up, Jaclyn Hill is doing the unthinkable, relaunching a lipstick line for Jaclyn cosmetics, KVD Vegan Beauty has rebranded AGAIN and Chloe Morello … or Face Halo have released some seriously questionable and outrageously expensive merch. 

This weeks product trial is nothing short of a miracle. A legitimate Glossier dupe sourced directly from the drugstore. We trialled the Rimmel Wonder Cloud Liquid Eyeshadow (and primer!). Not only is it a fantastic dupe for Glossier Skywash, it’s also a fairly decent eyeshadow primer too. What a win-win! Great work Rimmel. 

Finally, you spoke and we listened, the secret skincare sound is no more. You hated the segment and now it’s gone forever, but if you’re wondering what it was… Congratulations if you guessed Sunday Riley Good Genes.

EPISODE 108./

Hello! Happy Public Holiday Monday to everyone! We hope that you’re out enjoying a long walk on the beach, or with your dog whilst listening to us today. Please give your pooch a pat for us. 

In beauty news this week, Ultra Violette has landed on British and EU soil, officially launching in Space NK! In Youtuber chat, Estee Lalonde is celebrating her 10 year anniversary on YouTube and has launched a ‘self care and self reflection’ brand (not sure what else to call it at this stage) called Mirror Water. Shaaanxo has dropped her wedding video that had Lisa in a blubbering mess, and Raw Beauty Kristi has brought us very behind the scenes with her just released birth story video. 

In the most exciting beauty news of all. Lisa has FINALLY possibly, very likely stopped the search for a PERFECT, Functioning, eyeshadow primer! STOPPPP THE PRESSSS you’ll have to listen in to work out what it is!! Truly, alex was shocked. 

We dive right into some tea, sparked by a recent video where Allana Davison stated that she felt that Urban Decay has gone down hill in recent years… and it got us talking about which brands we think have also lost their shine. Lisa also discusses her experience with her Liberty Belle Derma Sweep facial and we have a little pow-wow about our collective experience now that we’ve both been. 

This week we trialled the Vieve Sunset Blush in the shade Pesca. Introducing a NEW SEGMENT … secret sound…it’s a rather unique segment that is probably only suitable to beauty devotees and ASMR enjoyers. Each week we’re going to tinkle some skincare noises and you’ll have to guess which product we’re playing with. All will be revealed next week as to what sounds #1 is.

In beauty news this week, Katie Jane Hughes has launched a beauuuutiful brush collaboration with Spectrum, Deciem have become a billion dollar company, and BECCA has left the building!

EPISODE 106./

What a wild last week we had! Whilst Alex suffered through Melbourne’s snap lockdown, Lisa was living her best life up in QLD. 

This week in beauty news, we’re giddy with excitement that Milk Makeup is coming to AUSTRAAAALIAAA. Finally. Known best for their kush mascara, cream bronzer and cool-girl attitude. 

Lisa got deeeeep into the Lydia Elise Millen hair saga and brings us all up to speed. You’ve got to hear it to believe it. Also Shaaanxo got married! 

We received a Listener Question in our IG DM’s this week from Sarah who wants to know how you can tell when a product has started to go off, and when you should consider decluttering old stored makeup and skincare. A great question, thank you Sarah! We’re going to go through just that for you. 

It’s a battle of the brow products for our product trials this week. After the Mecca Brow Soap last week, we’re excited to try two other super-hold gel options - one drugstore and one luxury. Lots of opinions here as always so you better listen in to see what we think. 

It’s becoming a trend but our snacks are meals and beverages and beauty faves are very un-sexy so pls enjoy when you get to that!

Happy Birthday, Lisa and Happy Monday, pod fam! Lisa predicted the future because hey-ho, it’s a shit show in lockdown land again this week!  

This week in beauty news everyone is SHOOK about Gigi Hadid’s chaotic evil beauty routine. Let’s just say that she starts with Ceramidin cream followed by a serum … make it stop. We’re obsessed with the packaging (not the contents) of the new Marc Jacobs cafe collection, Vieve has dropped more perky products, Shaaanxo is getting MARRIED, and we’re glad to hear about Sephora’s 2021 beauty accelerate program which is 100% supporting BIPOC brands. 

Our Product trial this week is the Mecca Brow Guru Super Soap. In case you missed it, this vegan/cruelty free product has been blowing up the ‘gram this week. The product has completely polarised Lisa and Alex as they both feel completely differently about it … tune in to hear what they think.

Episode 103 ./

We’re jumping right into beauty news today because there’s lots to cover! 

Firstly, It’s Alex here and let me start by correcting myself that for the WHOLE section about Auric Beauty i referred to the platform it launched on as ‘magic dust’ … my auto correct must have screwed me because it’s magic DUSK. I’m embarrassed, let’s move on. 

Second most important beauty news is Chloe Morello’s baby announcement. Another beauty influencer baby hooray! Katy has announced her brand Thirty Years, LOTS of newness at Mecca and the Halsey Beauty line About Face. 

This week, we tried the Go To, Removalist Kaolin Clay and Zinc face mask. It’s a delightful mask with a scent of Benadryl and Grape that we collectively gave an 8/10. Listen in to find out why! 

Our beauty faves this week included the Caudalie grape water and the Go To Hand Cream. But Alex cheated and there’s also a third fave, the Bite Beauty Changemaker foundation. We wanna give this unsung, middle of the road foundation a shout out because it truly is great and has been under appreaciated. 

In snack news: Lisa is off chocolate. By choice. We’ll see how she goes, but for the next few weeks you can anticipate some non-chocolate snacks for the first time ever. 

If you’ve got products you’d like us to try or LQOWS, please let us know in Instagram over at @allbasescovered.pod.

EPISODE 102./

We know we’ve done a lot of random rambling of late, so as the title suggests, this is a jam-packed ep with LOTS of beauty chat. 

Starting with a little bit of a beauty news segue, we’re excited to kick off this weeks episode with a little chat about a new Australian skincare/dermatology consultation service called QR8. We are very excited to see developments in the tailored compounded-skincare space and hope you enjoy hearing about it! If you’d like to learn more, you can follow them on Instagram @qr8_mediskin. 

In beauty news this week, the new Stay Vulnerable collection from Rare Beauty, the much-anticipated Auric Beauty in depth discussion that we’re a week late on (great news, it ships to Australia!!) AND we have a little giggle about Jeffree Star. 

We’re back on the product trial bandwagon and ready to talk about the not-so-new anymore Liberty Belle Godsend oil. No spoilers here so you’ll have to listen in to see what we thought! We also have a beauty breakdown this week on the beauty procedure, Sculptra. It’s a type of filler that’s injected into the face to help restore collagen. Lisa has tried it so that we can hear directly from her what it’s all about! 

Finishing things off as usual with lots of beauty faves, non beauty fave (Trash TV) and snacks!

We hope you enjoyed this lengthy episode. Please follow us on Instagram @allbasescovered.pod and leave us a review if you haven't already! We'll chat with you again next Monday ;)
