Leigh is absolutely obsessed with Revolution Beauty's new Skin Silk Under Eye Brightener and Concealer that's flying off Priceline shelves. With its cooling metal applicator and sheer, hydrating formula that doesn't settle into fine lines, it's the under-eye savior we've all been waiting for.

And, we need to talk about the Ex Nihilo Paris Blue Talisman fragrance that literally had Kelly wanting to "jump" Leigh in the studio. This $350 unisex perfume with its unique smoky notes might just be your new signature scent.

Plus, for just $16, People Haircare's All-In-One Shampoo & Conditioner is the affordable multitasker that protects against heat, adds shine, controls frizz, and strengthens - all in one bottle.

Don't forget! The You Beauty Awards winners will be announced tomorrow, April 12th!

Em tests an emergency beauty hack after finding herself in a hotel room with a full face and no cleanser. Can moisturiser effectively remove makeup when you're in a pinch? She compares the results to micellar water to determine if this old-school trick deserves its viral TikTok revival.

Meanwhile, Erin continues her glycolic acid experiments by testing whether it can replace your deodorant. After recruiting her husband for an extra sweaty test run, she reveals if these chemical exfoliant pads can truly combat underarm odour and hyperpigmentation as social media dermatologists claim.

Kelly McCarren sits in for Erin (who's "prepping to exit a human out of her body") to get the "pervy intel" on what really happens behind the scenes of a beauty launch. We speak with Georgia South, from Skinterest, as she pulls back the curtain on why influencer beauty brands are so successful (and so controversial).

 From the true cost of formulation to strategic sell-outs, Georgia explains why some people love to hate influencer brands despite their massive success.

Whether you're curious about white-label products, what "5 years in development" actually means, or which celebrity beauty products are genuinely worth your money, this insider's perspective reveals the business formulas behind the beauty formulas.

A question from an "elder millennial" has Leigh and Kelly breaking down the retinol strength debate: is it better to use a mild formula more frequently or a stronger one just once a week? Sharing their personal experiences and product recommendations for different retinol strengths that might work for sensitive skin.

Plus, they tackle why fragrances might be disappearing too quickly. Is your perfume actually vanishing within hours, or is something else happening? (Spoiler: your nose might be playing tricks on you!) Leigh and Kelly offer recommendations for long-lasting formulations that won't fade away by lunchtime.

And don't miss their genius host hacks - Kelly's trick for making black eyeshadow truly black (not blue!) and Leigh's emergency solution for covering grey roots when you're running late!

This week, Kelly makes a shocking discovery—the $17 Revlon Illuminance Glow Primer is practically identical to a high-end $85 primer she's been loving. It creates that perfect glowy-not-shimmery base without breaking the bank.

Plus, Leigh introduces us to the cult-favorite Givenchy Prisme Libre powder that's back with a new formulation. At $108 it's definitely a splurge, but the mini version is just $58 and will last you ages.

And we're spotlighting two incredible Australian small businesses: The Jojoba Company's new neck and décolletage concentrate that answers those frequent "What about my neck?" DMs, and Bangn Body's ergonomically designed body oil with its signature tropical scent.

Don't miss our savey finds: the Milani baked powder blush that gives you that luxurious luminosity for just $21.99, and Kelly rediscovers the Chi Chi Super CC Cream after reading Erin's article—a beauty editor secret that costs half the price of similar products.

LINKS TO EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Leigh's Picks:
Spendy: Givenchy Prisme Libre Four Colour Loose Powder 01, $108
Savey: Milani Baked Powder Blush in Berry Amore, $21.99
Newbie: The Jojoba Co Neck & Decolletage Lifting Concentrate, $64.95
Shop My Stash: The Quick Flick Quick Glow Gradual Tan Mousse, $29

Kelly's Picks:
Spendy: Caudalie Vinoperfect Brightening Micropeel Foam, $55
Savey: Revlon Illuminance™ Glow Primer, $17.47
Newbie: Bangn Body Oil, $68
Shop My Stash: Chi Chi Super CC Cream, $39.95

Erin's Article: 'I tried this $29 CC cream on a whim — now I'm obsessed.'

Chinese Medicine practitioner The Jade Lady, Dr. Lily, reveals how the 3,000-year-old practice of acupuncture is becoming the natural alternative to injectables for those seeking youthful, glowing skin.

In this episode, we explore how those tiny needles may work beneath the surface to balance your body's internal environment (like maintaining a healthy fish tank!), improve circulation, and enhance absorption—all contributing to that coveted radiant complexion. Plus, Dr. Lily explains why an individualised approach is essential for treating different skin conditions.

Whether you're needle-phobic or curious about holistic beauty treatments, discover which acupuncture point could replace your injectables appointments and learn how Chinese Medicine's "octopus" approach treats beauty from within.
