I'm Wigging Out

I’m Glowing Out!

TLDR: The skincare brand with a 100% retention rate, our biggest beauty flops and an eyeshadow stick that actually sticks.

In just one week, BUBBLE became the #2 skincare brand in Priceline. So, do we rate the products? Did we just find a luxe lip oil under $20? (yes). And we've had a few beauty doozies in our time, but we've also hit some home runs. This month, Kee and Lucy walk you through the good, the bad and the scalp bleach. 

A BIG thank you to The KIND Collective for sponsoring this episode!

TLDR: Kee's confidence has taken a hit, infrequent and one-sided sex, and a pillow spray that (probably) works.

How long is too long to go without sex? Can mental health have an impact on intimacy? And how do you address the elephant in the bedroom? This week, Kee and Lucy help Anon prepare for a conversation about connection and putting the theory into practice.

TLDR: A win for sensitive skin, what beauty really means to us & a transfer-proof, flake-free mascara. 

Tower 28 has (finally) landed in Aus, is it even good? We grew up in the age of America's Next Top Model, The Swan (wtaf) and beauty mags, how did that shape our perception of beauty today? And can a 2-minute hair mask actually make a difference? This month, Kee puts her face on the line to trial the sensitive skin makeup brand making waves.

TLDR: Kee's realising things, being the office's emotional dumping ground, an English B minus the anxiety.

Why do only 4% of women around the world consider themselves to be beautiful? Is there a way to exist online without...feeling like shit? And can we all collectively agree that beauty is so much more than how we look? This week, Kee and Lucy share their stories of self-confidence and unpack the BS that is the beauty standard.
