You Beauty

For today's Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie Fahd and Liv James get their hands dirty with two viral beauty hacks that have been doing the rounds on TikTok. Makeup novice Liv (who admits she gets "a bit sweaty" at the thought of applying eyeshadow) bravely tackles the cotton pad eyeshadow hack in front of professional makeup artist Sarah Marie. Watch as she strategically folds a regular cotton pad to create what promises to be the perfect winged shadow guide - a technique Sarah Marie surprisingly reveals she's secretly used on clients for over 15 years.

Meanwhile, Sarah Marie experiments with a TikTok-trending white concealer technique that's giving major 2016 vibes, where she applies stark white product under her eyes before layering foundation on top - a complete reversal of traditional makeup application order. Does this unusual method deliver that bright-eyed, bushy-tailed look we're all desperately chasing, or is it just another social media fantasy? 

Tune in to discover which technique earns holy grail status and which one gets relegated to the beauty bin!

In this episode, Kelly is joined by social media superstar Indy Clinton for a raw, unfiltered chat about online trolling and beauty transformations, plus her new collaboration with haircare brand Bouf.

Indy opens up about the bizarre reality of facing criticism over her recent rhinoplasty (seriously, are we still judging women's personal choices?!) and shares the hilarious truth behind accidentally leaking TBH Skincare's unreleased product after a few too many at a Taylor Swift concert. Between confessing her phobia of greasy hair and admitting to occasionally sleeping in makeup, Indy proves she's still a refreshingly relatable queen.

In an episode full of laugh-out-loud moments and serious truth bombs, Kelly and Indy tackle everything from society's impossible standards for mothers to the joy of fake freckles gone wrong. Listen to the end for Indy's candid take on beauty trends she can't stand and her hilariously minimal skincare routine ("What even is this K-beauty product my friend gave me?"). Enjoy Youbies!

This week, Leigh and Kelly investigate the ice-cold world of TikTok facial dunking - does freezing your face actually work? The science is limited, but the temporary "snatched" effect might be worth it after a few vinos. Skip the full plunge and try their practical alternatives instead.

Plus, as Bella Hadid champions the return of the side part, Leigh and Kelly reveal which 2025 trends she's selectively ignoring. Kelly embraces mulberry tones this season, while Leigh focuses on skincare innovations rather than fleeting aesthetics.

In this fashion drop, Leigh chats with Pip Brett, founder of Jumbled in Orange, NSW, about embracing colour when you're stuck in a neutral rut.

Pip shares her expert tips for finding your perfect shades, unexpected colour combinations that work beautifully together, and simple ways to incorporate brights into even the most corporate wardrobe. Plus, why shopping in-person beats online when experimenting with new hues.

Put down that expensive eye cream and listen up! Kelly and Leigh are back, swooning over everything from bougie double-wick candles that "waft differently" to serums that made Leigh's face tingle so hard she had to frantically Google whether she'd just destroyed her skin in a hotel room (spoiler: she woke up looking fantastic).

The duo's K-Beauty obsession reaches new heights as they marvel over ingenious "baby trampoline" applicators and microscopic spicules that transform skin overnight. Between turtle neck tangents and candle critiques, they hunt for skin magic and why Kelly's rationing a $209 serum to "maybe twice a week.

In this episode of Tried and Tested, Sarah Marie and Liv dive into the weird and wonderful world of viral beauty trends. Sarah Marie tests the mesmerising K-Beauty collagen melting face mask that literally disappears when sprayed - satisfying to watch, but does it work?

Meanwhile, Liv subjects herself to the TikTok-famous upside-down eyelash curling hack that's racked up over 20 million views. She attempts - 25 times! - to master this bizarre technique that promises dramatically lifted lashes.

Tune in to find out if either product is worth the hype, the money, or the emotional damage - and YouTube is where you'll find the best visuals!

Celebrities are masters at keeping us guessing – private chefs, secret trainers, and now the latest beauty investment they're tight-lipped about? Those suspiciously "natural" facelifts sporting many A-list faces! Kelly chats with plastic surgeon Dr. Catherine Boorer about these $45K + procedures, including the shocking truth about recovery time (hint: it's not the weekend getaway celebrities make it seem!).

Plus, Dr Boorer shares her science-backed skincare routine that doesn't require a Hollywood budget, and which trendy products are actually worth investing in versus what's just expensive moisturiser.

Whether you're just nosy about what the rich and famous are doing to their faces or considering options for yourself, this episode cuts through the Hollywood smoke and mirrors with some seriously refreshing honesty.
