You Beauty

Stop everything, Youbies! This week's Spendy Savey Friday features game-changing hair products! Kelly's raving about an $8 Tresemme Lamella Shine Mask from Woolies that makes hair "almost TOO soft," while Leigh confesses to chronic eye-rubbing as she introduces the $45 Le Mav eye balm her under-eyes are thanking her for. Kelly also shares an exclusive peek at Boof – a new $35 hair growth tonic with patented technology from Aussie entrepreneur Rachel Wilde.

Don't miss "The Great Pineapple Debate" where Leigh defends her beloved Garnier Fructis Hair Drink while Kelly dramatically gags at the scent. We're also diving into Kelly's peptide complex obsession (apparently peptides are "the word of 2025"), Leigh's husband who keeps recycling her empties before she can show them off, and the almond oil that Kelly swears transforms basic body lotions into luxury treatments. Perfect listening for fellow oily-scalped gals who appreciate both bargain finds and science-backed splurges!

Ever heard of 'prejuvenation'? It's the buzzy trend where Gen Z and young millennials are starting anti-ageing routines way earlier than previous generations - we're talking teenagers at Mecca, in case you haven't noticed.

In this episode, Kelly unpacks the social media-driven beauty trend with one of Sydney's leading dermatologists Dr. Shreya Andric and confirms when you should actually start thinking about anti-aging (hint: mid-twenties, not tweens!).

Plus, she reveals the ingredients that really are worth your hard-earned dollars and her ride-or-die ingredients for every age.

Get ready for some serious skincare wisdom bombs, no matter your age.

From an affordable bath product that rivals luxury alternatives to a $5 eyeshadow palette that delivers astonishing pigmentation - seriously, Kelly's floored in her blind test - today's episode proves good beauty doesn't need to break the bank.

Leigh's found a bubble bath that won't dry your skin like dishwashing liquid, and Kelly's found a foundation that somehow manages to be both matte AND dewy at the same time! Plus - what's in that mysterious "top secret" box? Only the brand new Dyson hair dryer that took years to develop (and yes, it costs as much as a small holiday).

Between shrewd budget finds and premium picks, this episode delivers the perfect balance of beauty splurges and steals.

In this lol-worthy episode of Tried & Tested, Sarah Marie dives headfirst into TikTok's wild world of beauty hacks, testing a viral eyeliner wing stamp made from—wait for it—a pill packet and cotton tip. Spoiler alert: unless you've got a hot glue gun and several hours to spare, despite its 23.8 million views, this hack leaves plenty to be desired.

But all is not lost when Liv reveals her latest K-Beauty obsession which previously broke the internet in Korea - its a blush with that perfect not-too-dewy finish.
