On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh Campbell is joined by Mamamia beauty editor Erin Docherty to unpack why 30-somethings are opting for surgical facelifts, the nostalgic 90s hair accessory making a runway comeback, and whether azelaic acid deserves a spot in your skincare routine.

What happens when you gift your podcast co-host a $9.99 jar of sheep placenta cream? Absolute chaos, naturally. In this episode, Leigh and Kelly jump straight into the weird and wonderful world of extreme beauty ingredients before diving into the biggest industry news: clean-girl favourite Merit is finally hitting Sephora Australia, while the minds behind Revolution Beauty have launched a wildly affordable, colour-packed brand called Troublemaker in Target and Kmart.

Plus, the girls unpack the viral TikTok "milky toner" technique that promises to fix cakey base makeup and save dry skin.

Then, it's time to tackle your burning listener questions from budget-friendly, at-home tricks for blending gray hairs between salon visits, to the ultimate breakdown of how makeup removers actually work (and why your skin might hate foaming cleansers).

If you've ever wondered how often you should actually be washing your hair, or whether supplements genuinely work for hair growth, you've come to the right place. In today's Monthly Masterclass, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarron are joined by hairdresser of 30+ years turned trichologist and founder of the Tricho Health Clinic, Cassandra Hooper Whitmore. In this genuinely eye-opening conversation, Cass drops major truth bombs and reminds us all that our scalps are skin and therefore our skincare shouldn't stop at the hairline.

Cass rapid-fires through the biggest hair and scalp myths that could be ruining our routines, starting with how often you should actually be washing your hair. And if you've ever gone to bed with wet hair, brace yourself to learn what might be happening as a result... Plus, the truth about a hair brushing habit that could be doing more damage than good. 

Then things get personal, with Leigh and Kelly putting their own scalps under the microscope for Cass to examine — and have their minds completely blown in the process. Who knew your scalp could tell you so much about your overall health and wellbeing? Turns out your scalp is talking and it's time we start listening before it has to shout.

Why are beauty founders launching products they don’t actually use? This week, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren unpack the strategy behind brand launches, from Dieux’s retinol to Zoe Foster Blake’s eye cream, and why it’s actually a sign of a great brand.

And, Reddit released its first-ever People’s Beauty Index, revealing that 'no-makeup makeup' is officially out, eyeshadow is back, and fragrance searches are getting delightfully unhinged.

Plus, we dive into your beauty dilemmas! We break down the ultimate guide to red lipstick starting at just $10 and Leigh shares a simple routine to help stop your winter-faded pigmentation from bouncing back once the sun comes out.

Forget "looks-maxxing," "sleep-maxxing," and "protein-maxxing", there's a new trend 'maxxing' that's got the beauty world obsessed. We're diving into the world 'eyemaxxing' and asking the question you're all thinking... is this genuinely a new phenomenon, or just old-school makeup techniques with a TikTok-friendly rebrand?

Then, we're breaking down all the myths (and truths) around volufiline, the ingredient popping up in every 'holy grail' K-beauty serum right now and being tipped as the next big thing for plump, bouncy skin. But is it worth the hype (and the price tag)?

And of course, it's Spendy Savey time — including the $4 eye product Leigh will not stop talking about (and honestly, neither will we).

Rhode's highly anticipated new products have just arrived and Kelly has been holding them hostage. Leigh gets her first look and the verdict might surprise you. Then Leigh and Kelly test the most extreme lip plumper on the market all in the name of research (and chaos).

Plus, our honest thoughts on the controversial "rib remodelling" that Aussie Influencers are flying to Bali to get (yes, really), and Leigh and Kelly answer their most-requested question... What's In Their Handbags.... You're welcome.

And, in Spendy Savey this week, Leigh shows us a scalp serum that might just change everything you thought you knew about a bad hair day and a limited edition Diptyque fragrance that we absolutely can't (but will) justify the price tag for.

This week on The Formula, Kelly is rummaging through the beauty bag of podcaster, author, model, and Australia’s very own Covergirl ambassador, Ellidy Pullin.

Ellidy is the definition of a joyful, no-fuss beachside gal, but her path to beauty minimalism wasn't always straightforward. She’s lifting the lid on her makeup and skincare journey and how motherhood completely stripped back her routine to a strict 4-minute limit.

Plus, Kelly gets to the bottom of Ellidy's highly unconventional past beauty hacks including parsley face masks and sleeping with onions inside her socks...

If your lips are feeling a little unloved as the cooler weather sets in, you're not alone. This week, Kelly is joined by Amy Clark (filling in for Leigh), and let’s just say they are both having a major lip product moment. They're breaking down the ultimate winter lip combo, including the $38 Mecca find that acts like the "Faber-Castell of lip stains" and the $15 nourishing balm that lets you choose between a "milkshake" or a "thick shake" finish.

Plus, Amy shares the $6 Kmart blush she immediately drove to buy after seeing it on Instagram, a pricey-but-worth-it at-home keratin treatment that claims to banish frizz for three months, and Kelly reveals the groundbreaking, contraband-photo-worthy $160 serum that literally had her flying all the way to Paris and London to investigate.

You may recognise him from Channel 9's The Block, but did you know, Mat Johnson is also an esteemed Hair Stylist and salon owner with over 24 years experience.

This week on The Formula, Kelly and Mat are breaking down the exact hair colours and styles dominating 2026, including why American blondes (think Margot Robbie) look so much brighter than Aussie blondes, and the absolute golden rules for achieving a salon-worthy blowout from home. (Hint: It all comes down to a dry shaft and letting those rollers cool completely). Plus, Mat reveals his number one holy grail product and expert advice for transitioning to grey hair.

This week, Kelly is joined by the glorious Amy Clark (filling in for a poorly Leigh Campbell) to tackle the buzzwords and beauty blunders currently taking over your feed.

First up, they’re demystifying PDRN. You’ve seen it everywhere, it’s being called "salmon sperm" (don't worry, it's actually purified DNA), and it’s promising to be the new Hyaluronic Acid. Kelly and Amy break down what it is and how it works. 

Plus, the duo solves the ultimate makeup dilemma: how to get your base to last all day without it looking "crusty" or dry by 2pm. Kelly shares her "netball-proof" strategy for keeping a disco-ball glow even through a sweaty centre-court game.

And stay tuned for the Beauty Edit, where Molly and Cass discuss the "male blepharoplasty" trend on red carpets, why people are contouring their ears, and a new technique for covering a breakout.

Is your skin feeling a little... crispy lately? The heaters are on, the air is dry, and if you’re wondering whether you need to throw out your entire skincare routine the second the temperature drops, this is the episode for you.

This week on The Formula, Kelly is joined by dermatologist Dr. Natasha Cook to debunk the "winter skin" myths. They’re diving into why your skin type actually changes with the weather, the "double moisturizing" hack that will save your bank account, and why you definitely shouldn't be putting your SPF away just because it’s cloudy.

Plus, Dr. Cook breaks down the "Body is the New Face" movement and explains why winter is actually the gold-medal season for getting those laser treatments you’ve been thinking about.

Kelly has found a two-in-one blush hack that delivers a "glow from within" without the glitter, while Leigh is mourning the end of a $115 mask that she’s already re-ordered. Plus, we’re talking about the 1950s ball gown Leigh just bought on Etsy (because 700 gowns isn't enough), the $3 Kmart find Kelly swears by, and the "residue-free" teeth whitening strips that actually let you swallow properly.

0:01: Makeup is my therapy. 
 0:04: Obsessed and I don't Guilty about it. 
 0:10: Hello and welcome to You Beauty. 
 0:12: This is the podcast for your face. 
 0:14: I am Kelly McCarron. 
 0:15: I'm Leigh Campbell, and every Friday we tell you about some wonderful products. 
 0:20: Something expensive, something more affordable. 
 0:22: So that's Spendi Say, something new, newbie, and then something we've finished or found again at home and we love. 
 0:30: Full on empty. 
 0:30: I never bring a whole empty and I am crying my eyes out that it's over. 
 0:35: I'll buy it again. 
 0:36: So it was expensive then. 
 0:37: It was expensive and it's a very new product, I think, and I am in love with it. 
 0:41: OK. 
 0:42: But first, Kelly, and we're both, if anyone's watching on the video, little pouches, we're clutching our little pouches of products. 
 0:47: Yours has got your name on it. 
 0:48: Did you get that from Etsy? 
 0:49: Yes, yes. 
 0:50: What is Etsy? 
 0:51: I just got back into cute little, my sister gets me into it. 
 0:54: She always gets such cute little homemade gifts. 
 0:56: Well, I bought a 1950s ball gown to wear to a charity thing of course you did, even though you have 700 ball gowns 70 years. 
 1:03: I'm the ambassador. 
 1:04: Anyway, let's not talk about fashion. 
 1:05: Kelly, do you want to start with your spending or your saving? 
 1:08: Well, I'm wearing both on my face. 
 1:10: Oh. 
 1:12: Let's start with Spy. 
 1:15: Spendy, Spy. 
 1:18: This is the Smashbox lit sticks, it's called a blush lighter. 
 1:25: Now, I, you know, any long-term youbie will know that I love to mix like a cream blush with a cream highlighter on the back of my hand or on my cheek and then blend it in together just so I've got like that. 
 1:37: Luminescent glow from within. 
 1:40: This is a two in one product. 
 1:42: That's clever. 
 1:43: So you know what, it's my spendy, but it's two products. 
 1:46: Can I ask, so is it like really balmy and juicy and OK, but it does it come in other colors? 
 1:51: Yes, OK, this is the shade, there's 4 colors, I think scary red. 
 1:55: It's not, it's called sunset. 
 1:59: wait till you see how pretty it is. 
 2:00: Oh gosh, it's nothing like that, I mean. 
 2:03: That is amazing. 
 2:04: Isn't it beautiful? 
 2:04: It's like this beautiful peachy pink with the most pretty grown-up luminescence in it. 
 2:10: It doesn't have glitter or shimmer, it's just, and it's in a, you know, a chubby bullet, like it looks a lot from like here from the Mecca Max, you know, color bullets, those very standard sort of wind up big, big crayon, but it's, it's a beautiful, like the outside, it looks very quite dark burgundy bricky, but that's amazing inside, so don't. 
 2:28: Judge a shade by its packaging. 
 2:30: Exactly, it's just so pretty and that's a universal like that would look good on everyone. 
 2:34: And that's you could be the, you could have the fairer skin, the deeper skin, that would look beautiful on you. 
 2:41: $41 and like I just, well it's expensive like given that you could get one probably for $12. 
 2:48: That's a 2 in one though. 
 2:49: Also, I, I've been using a bronzer stick exact same shape from a pharmacy brand, it's $40. 
 2:54: Oh, see that's a little bit ridiculous. 
 2:56: Everything is now Kelly. 
 2:58: Back in my day, at least we know that we're gonna pay the exact amount for a brand like Smashbox, rather like, will I get it on sale or won't I get it on sale? 
 3:06: That's true. 
 3:07: I got it from Mecca, $41 available in-store online, lit sticks. 
 3:11: One last question before I get my go, does it stay, do you set, are you a touch? 
 3:17: I set my blush because blu well if I want it to last all day, blush is the one product I would say that you, it, it fades so much and that's often matte and you then that's not kind of what you want, right? 
 3:30: Yeah, cos then it just looks like you've got clown face on like that's how I felt about the rare beauty. 
 3:35: I mean it looked beautiful but you didn't have any working time. 
 3:37: No, yeah, you don't, this, you've got a lot of working time. 
 3:40: That's often why if you and I do an early morning record, you are always like about how much blush I've got on, because I know by the end of the day it's going to be an average looking cause it fades. 
 3:52: So the way you look at 5 p.m. is the most important. 
 3:54: I'm only joking 100%. 
 3:56: blush I also would rather have more is more than less is less, so I absolutely love it. 
 4:02: It's really impressed me. 
 4:03: I love something a little bit different as well, even though I get excited by blushes in general. 
 4:07: I just thought that's a lot of fun. 
 4:08: I'm getting one. 
 4:09: So my spendy is sort of new but sort of not. 
 4:12: It's existed overseas for a really long time, and if anyone knows the dermatologist and hair expert, Doctor Leona Yip, can't say I do. 
 4:20: Oh my God, she's phenomenal. 
 4:21: I like her name though. 
 4:22: Yeah, so Doctor Leona Yip, she, there's some exciting content coming up with her that I don't think I'm allowed to tell you about, but anyway, interviewed her recently, then saw her at an event, and we were chatting away and she was telling me about this hairbrush she's working with to bring to Australia. 
 4:34: And I was like, oh I was thinking, oh great, another bloody hairbrush. 
 4:37: You know we've got Mason Pearson, we've got those happy brushes that I really like. 
 4:40: I've got a tangle teaser. 
 4:41: Yes, me too. 
 4:43: Anyway, check this out. 
 4:44: My whole family is fighting over this hairbrush. 
 4:47: Why? 
 4:48: It's $185. 
 4:50: Let me, I'm gonna have to read you the information because it's too scientific for me. 
 4:54: May I brush it through my hair, please, Kelly, I tried to take my hair out of it. 
 4:57: I wasn't sure if you would let me. 
 4:58: Oh my God, no, I'm a sharer, you know that. 
 5:00: Whoa, OK, so it's called the SB 572 hair and scalp brush. 
 5:04: Yes, please brush while I go. 
 5:06: $185. 
 5:07: It's handcrafted by master artisans in Osaka. 
 5:11: It's patented, so it's literally, she's given me the patent number. 
 5:14: I don't know if that's important. 
 5:15: And it reaches deep into the scalp's pores where your fingers can't or other brushes. 
 5:19: It feels like someone's scratching my head. 
 5:22: I love it. 
 5:22: So keep in mind she's a full-blown doctor, she would not, you know, import or partner with or endorse anything. 
 5:28: It's got 572 pins, and the multi-level pin structure uses 3 distinct nylon strengths to mimic a rhythmic professional massage. 
 5:35: It has deep pore precision that lifts the way it kind of gets in there, I don't know, it does though, trust me. 
 5:41: Like, how good is my hair looking? 
 5:42: Lifts hidden impurities and excess sebum, and the patented contour fit is a scalp hugging design that ensures contact with every angle that will gently stimulate microcirculation, warming the scalp by 2% to nourish hair roots. 
 5:57: Lastly, it improves scalp, elasticity and tone, creating the ideal environment for hair growth. 
 6:02: So obviously she's a doctor and she's not gonna sit there and say, brush your hair with this and your hair will grow faster, but it is the most sort of scientific, You know, get in there, get the angles right, are you OK? 
 6:14: It's like you went to sleep. 
 6:15: No, I'm waiting to ask you a question. 
 6:18: Does my hair look a little bit greasy after I just brushed it? 
 6:21: Well, no, but you've flattened it a lot. 
 6:24: I feel like, I don't know what sort of magic, but you know how you said it like goes into your pores. 
 6:28: Oh yeah, I mean I feel like it just like got all of the grease and oil out of my pores and rubbed it through my hair, not in a bad way, although I think definitely lifting like yours, so yeah, so sorry. 
 6:39: No, it's fine. 
 6:40: I love you back you hold on to it for now. 
 6:42: Keep in mind she's a dermatologist, so she's there about scalp health, so it's gonna lift the impurities, the dead cells, it's gonna stimulate circulation, it increases, you know, the temperature of your scalp with the circulation. 
 6:52: Your hair looks great. 
 6:53: I mean, no, we need to fix it. 
 6:54: You fixed it. 
 6:55: Have I fixed it, or is it still sitting flat on my head? 
 6:57: No, now it's very nice. 
 6:59: It's very, very good. 
 7:00: Are you being sarcastic? 
 7:01: No, you just like you can just go like that and you have so much volume. 
 7:04: People will be jealous. 
 7:05: It's fried. 
 7:05: I've got it about maybe. 
 7:07: Two weeks ago, I, look, you know me, there's probably 18 hairbrushes in each room of my house. 
 7:12: Everywhere I go, I'm like, Where's the gold one? 
 7:13: Where's the gold one? 
 7:14: Alex had it under his bed. 
 7:15: Of course he did, because it feels so good. 
 7:17: OK, I'm desperate to get one of those. 
 7:19: It feels so so good. 
 7:20: It doesn't feel too firm. 
 7:22: She said, use it in the shower if you like with conditioner, use it at the end with styling if you want to do that, just use it to brush your hair. 
 7:28: She said post bath, but I think that just means like out of the shower maybe. 
 7:31: It's phenomenal. 
 7:32: I love it. 
 7:33: That is such a good spend. 
 7:34: I would, I would spend 185 again and again on that. 
 7:37: Well, especially if you don't have 12 brushes in each room. 
 7:40: Well, they're all like Lady Jane when they're on sale, and I think, oh, I've lost mine, and then I'd take it home to join its friends. 
 7:45: What's your savy? 
 7:46: Rummage, rummage, rummage. 
 7:47: It's what I've got on my lips. 
 7:48: It is the L'Oreal. 
 7:51: Hyaluron tint lip stain serum. 
 7:54: I picked this up for 20 bucks the other day at Chemist Warehouse and it's just say like, I do not like when they do the tape and then you can't get it off, like yuck, cos then it's sticky every time you touch it. 
 8:07: That when I become the boss of the world, I'm gonna make that illegal, like to do that. 
 8:10: I'll put it on so you can see, it goes on really glossy. 
 8:12: It looks quite pigmented if that's all you've got on your lips. 
 8:14: That's all I've got on my lips, so it dries down to a tint that then stays on for a few hours. 
 8:18: It's really, really beautiful. 
 8:20: But does it stay glossy, cause your lips still look quite glossy. 
 8:23: Did you put something on top or she can't talk. 
 8:25: Really? 
 8:26: Well, whenever you put that on this morning, your lips were still glo I probably put it on not that long ago, but does it look pretty, or did I just ruin it? 
 8:34: No, you're very good at doing it. 
 8:35: So I chose the shade 420, but it's a red tint, an apple red tint. 
 8:40: I think if you're 420 across L'Oreal's lip colors, that's your red that's OK, then you get your matte or your whatever. 
 8:46: I. 
 8:47: Really love how juicy and apply the color is. 
 8:51: It's so good. 
 8:51: But then it just dries down and it's just so easy to wear and because I guess it's that serumy texture, it doesn't dry down and feel like I've got nothing on my lips or I've got texture on my lips, like it does feel like I've got a balm still. 
 9:03: OK, but does that make it stayed good, that's a very good hybrid, but now it feels dry. 
 9:08: Oh, but you're still so shiny, so shiny. 
 9:11: Oh, OK, I'm, I'm getting that in nude, of course. 
 9:14: Yes, yeah, there was heaps of nudes or like nice soft pinks and that sort of thing. 
 9:17: I just, you know, chose the, the frothing your lips. 
 9:22: I went to Kmart the other week, looked for you everywhere. 
 9:25: Whereas, I wasn't there. 
 9:26: Alas, I was picking up my $3 tassel bag. 
 9:28: 00, is that from Kmart? 
 9:30: Yeah, oh, we'll talk about that later. 
 9:32: OK, so She Glam is now stocked at Kmart. 
 9:35: I've never tried anything from there. 
 9:37: Get around it. 
 9:38: You've recommended something from there. 
 9:39: Yes, I used to order it from either Amazon or, I mean, it's in a lot of stores here now, but I was getting my old trusty eyebrow pencil from one of the other affordable brands, and there was a whole new section. 
 9:49: Oh damn, I was supposed to trick you and see what you thought brand this was cause I think it looks fancy. 
 9:53: So it's the She Glam Daydreamer mini palette, and the shades I've got is Cloudy Sunday, $12. 
 10:00: Don't you think that looks really fancy and expensive, like packaging? 
 10:03: It, yeah, it does. 
 10:05: No, but I, you know me, I just am not a cool-toned gal. 
 10:09: Wait, is that eyeshadow or eyebrow? 
 10:10: Eyesshadow. 
 10:11: What do you mean cool tone, that's brown. 
 10:13: Yeah, but it's a cool tone, they're cool toned browns. 
 10:15: OK, you can go and get your own colors, but I'm just saying, does the palette look palette. 
 10:20: It does, and I mean like $12 come on. 
 10:23: I know, I bought so much stuff. 
 10:24: I'm really interested in that shimmer. 
 10:26: Oh, good girl, good girl. 
 10:27: Oh, the pigment's phenomenal. 
 10:28: She claimed pigment. 
 10:29: I mean, I should get you to do the pigment test. 
 10:31: No, I just used that on my lash line earlier today, and then that's for my crease and stuff. 
 10:36: I actually bought like 3, that's why I haven't used this one as much. 
 10:38: Would you like to try it? 
 10:39: Sure. 
 10:39: There's a whole bunch of stuff. 
 10:41: Like from She Glam. 
 10:41: Their lip category is massive. 
 10:44: Not as big in eye, but I absolutely love this because I always want just something little. 
 10:49: Kelly has palettes that have 17,000 eyeshadows in them. 
 10:52: I get palettes that I use one or two. 
 10:54: Kelly's doing some swatches for us, right? 
 10:56: $12. 
 10:57: Pretty good. 
 10:57: And then they have bigger ones with 6 and 8 and, you know, huge ones, but I just love the Portability of that, so head to Kmart because you need another excuse, and look for me there because I am probably going to be there always do, although we don't live anywhere near each other, but it's me, I'm always at all, everywhere in Sydney. 
 11:15: Yeah, I thought you were, so that's my savy and I'm gonna go back and get a lot more. 
 11:19: After the break, I've got a newbie that Leigh was like, oh, Kel's gonna wanna scream about this from the rooftops when she can. 
 11:26: I kindly gave it to you. 
 11:33: Hey newbie, so anything new? 
 11:35: What's new? 
 11:37: OK, so go on, the newbie. 
 11:40: Well, it's actually not new, but she's had a glow up. 
 11:42: So the Loxitan Armand, the almond range, so those beautiful body products that all newbies know and love, it's had a bit of a glow up, so it's the exact same formula, the exact same price, but she's had an outfit change and it is just so luxe. 
 12:00: I bought in the old packaging and then I bought in the new packaging. 
 12:02: Oh my gosh, that is very good. 
 12:03: They also. 
 12:04: did bring out the mist as an actual standalone product, so a couple of years ago at Christmas they bought it out as a limited edition, or maybe it was after Christmas, I don't know when it was, but they brought it out and it was like literally here until it all sold out, but obviously people wanted it so much that it's kind of a new product it's just got that beautiful warm almond. 
 12:28: Yes, would you like to, I've got it at home, but I don't remember it. 
 12:31: Look at the Luxe bottle. 
 12:32: We went to the event together a couple of weeks ago and I was like, no one really said the mist was new, what was going on. 
 12:37: Everyone's misting themselves, and I'm like, how did I not know there was a mist? 
 12:39: I thought, bad girl, don't do her job well. 
 12:41: But that makes sense, and I've been using the mist every single day. 
 12:44: Yeah, it's so beautiful. 
 12:45: It's like that really just when you want something light and fresh. 
 12:49: Well, it's like the shower oil, but you don't have to have a shower. 
 12:52: Exactly. 
 12:52: Like that way that it, it just covers and envelopes you in that beautiful just like warm smell. 
 12:59: I hate the term envelope enveloping in in terms of beauty, but you can't like that brand and that product owns it because it really does like wrap you up in it. 
 13:07: It does and it like cocoons you with all of your senses. 
 13:10: OK, so I brought in the supple skin oil. 
 13:12: I love this product as a good example. 
 13:14: So this is the old packaging. 
 13:16: So I mean, lovely, nice, lovely. 
 13:19: Well you and I both at first were like oh don't change anything. 
 13:21: I know, well, at first I didn't like it. 
 13:23: Amy Clark sent me a photo. 
 13:24: I think it was just a bad photo. 
 13:25: I was like, ooh, I don't like it. 
 13:27: But I just think that I resist change sometimes to begin with and then I jump on board, especially once I found out they weren't changing the formula. 
 13:34: So and then this is the pretty bottle, 200 mLs. 
 13:38: That's the old one. 
 13:39: Look at the new one. 
 13:41: Like, hello, you just grew up, you had an upgrade. 
 13:46: It's the exact same 100 mL, not 200 mLs. 
 13:50: Look at that, like, firstly, the box, what a glow up. 
 13:55: Secondly, the actual bottle. 
 13:57: You've had a glow up doll. 
 13:58: Yeah, she really has. 
 14:00: Oh, I love them both equally, that's because I grew up with that one. 
 14:02: That's because you like that one looks like a luxury. 
 14:07: I mean, listen, yeah, you're right, there's nothing wrong with that, but that looks

From using lube as a hair styler to why redheads are actually evolutionary superheroes, the girls are covering a lot of ground on today’s Q&A. First up, beauty news correspondents Cass and Mollie are unpacking the fascinating science behind the red-hair gene, the "cosmeticorexia" investigation taking over Italy, and why we don't have to say goodbye to Pat McGrath Labs just yet.

Then, Leigh and Kelly dive into the ultimate "MacGyver" beauty hacks. Whether you’re stuck in a hotel with only shampoo or trying to figure out how to make your highlighter look more natural, we’ve got a workaround for everything.

Plus, we answer a listener's SOS on how to achieve flawless coverage without the "cakey" finish that can often age the skin. Leigh and Kelly share their non-negotiable rules for base makeup, from the "cream-only" mandate to the one product you need to put down immediately.

It's that time of the week for another episode of "The Formula." And while we usually deep dive into a high-profile beauty cabinet on Tuesdays. Today? We're doing things a little differently. We’re going rogue.

Then Kelly and Leigh are answering each others non-beauty related questions from which movie universe they'd want to live in all the way to Leigh's earliest childhood memory. Plus, they discuss why "anti-aging" marketing is officially on the way out and why you should probably just cut your hair if you’ve been thinking about it too long.

Violette_FR Bisou Balm, $50.

Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk, $40.

On today’s Q&A episode, Leigh and Kelly tackle a listener’s fear that her $18 vitamin C might just be expensive water. Is there a minimum you should spend on actives to know they're working, or are those $200 serums just better at marketing?

Plus, Kelly reveals the top-rated recommendations for tight-lining that she found in the depths of the internet, while Leigh shares the $4.50 Priceline gem that actually stays put on your waterline. 

And in a classic "do as we say, not as we do" moment, the hosts share a cautionary PSA about why you should never, ever try a new makeup technique (looking at you, underpainting) when you have exactly 25 minutes to leave the house.

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly and Leigh share their best skincare, makeup, hair, and body recommendations, including the $10 "kiddie" detangler Leigh’s hairdresser swears by, the "700 billion" star-rated eye cream Kelly found on Amazon, and a new Aussie-made "everything" spray that might just be the cleverest product we've seen all year.

Kelly takes us through her very professional "investigative" technique for finding new products (it involves being nosey with makeup artists) and why she’s currently obsessed with a brand new hair range that smells like childhood cereal.

And alongside the $43 barrier-supporting serum Leigh is using to save her "angry" skin, we’re shopping our stashes for a $30 Revlon palette that Kelly may or may not have owned for 14 years.

What actually makes someone "stylish"? Is it a massive budget, or is it just knowing which buttons to leave undone? This week, Leigh and Chelsea are back together to decode the 7 habits of truly stylish women—from the "quality over quantity" rule that will save your laundry (and your wallet) to the one "fashion faux pas" that stylish women actually do every single day.

Plus, Chelsea's algorithm is currently a shrine to 90s icon Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and they’re discussing why Gen Z is suddenly obsessed with her minimalist uniform. They also tackle the "baggy jeans in boots" trend (is it cool or just uncomfortable?) and the faux fur comeback that’s looking more refined this time around.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: The Frankie Shop Arlise Trench Coat €325.

Leigh's Boujie: Neuw Jonesy Singlet White$69.95

Chelsea's Budget: Uniqlo Double-Breasted Jacket $99.90.

Leigh's Budget: Sportsgirl Australian Cotton Scoop Neck Tank $19.95.

When it comes to makeup artistry, today’s guest is a literal award-winner. Ellen Malone (better known to her loyal followers as @AskEllenBeauty) recently took home TikTok’s Creator of the Year for Beauty and Fashion—and one look at her makeup in real life tells you exactly why. 

In this episode of The Formula, Ellen joins Kelly to strip back the smoke and mirrors of social media beauty. She breaks down her "Rolls-Royce" method of underpainting—a vintage technique that makes any foundation look flawless.

Plus, Ellen explains the "baking a cake" analogy for base products, why your skincare layers might be "fighting" each other (hello, pilling!), and the gross truth about face mites and rosacea. Whether you're 20 or 101, Ellen’s philosophy is simple: it’s never too late to be fabulous.

Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentré Multi-Function Moisturiser, $48.

Leigh and Kelly are back answering your burning beauty questions, alongside a special trend report from inside Sephora’s new product showcase!

But first, beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass unpack rhode newness and what it has to do with Carolyn Basset-Kennedy, concealer’s 2026 rebrand, and the ‘3-month rule’ that explains why having a viral beauty product isn’t enough to build a successful brand. Case in point: Medicube’s viral Kylie Jenner Korean skincare tool campaign wasn’t an accident… and didn’t come cheap.

Leigh settles a debate that keeps coming up in her DMs: which is the correct way to wear your under-eye masks? Oh, and Kelly brings a gross but ultra satisfying hack for removing foul days-old fake tan in seconds. Plus, enjoy a skin science lesson that explains the difference between hydration and moisturisation, and why you need both for healthy, glowing skin.

Finally, you might’ve seen the House of Sephora new product showcase on social media, but what was it actually like, and which exclusive new products got Leigh and Kelly excited? We break down their picks for product launches to mark in your calendar.

It’s not every day we get to spend time with Sydney’s best-kept skin secret. That’s why Amy Clark took over the You Beauty studio this week to bring you an interview with facialist of 30 years, Carina Gross.

Long-time You Beauty listeners may know Carina as the owner of Belaméres skin clinic and the creator of the ‘fairy Dust’ skin treatment. She’s worked with thousands of women on their skin goals (including You Beauty’s own Leigh Campbell!), and specialises in a non-invasive, no bullsh*t approach to achieving healthy skin.

On this episode of The Formula, Carina reveals the under-the-radar technologies and treatments no one else is really talking about, and the one thing that can make a major difference in your skin, starting tomorrow. She also unpacks the most common skin concerns she sees in clinic and why we see our skin change after 40, and shares the skincare analogies that settle the debate of whether consistent skincare or consistent skin treatments will deliver better results.

Plus, Carina takes us inside her bathroom and breaks down her simple skincare routine (hint: it includes some little-known brands she reckons deserve more hype), along with her current spendy and savey product recommendations that shocked Amy to the core.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Beauté Pacifique Chaperone Serum, $129.

Beauté Pacifique Chaperone Day Cream, $149.

Nimue Cleansing Gel Lite, $90.

Beauté Pacifique Puffy Eyes Gel, $99.

Strap in, friends! Today’s episode is a wild ride! We’ve got science experiments, buffet serums and a rant about toxic beauty misinformation…

Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren are answering your burning questions, from smudgeproof mascaras to suit every budget and tried-and-tested recommendations for "everything" serums to streamline your routine.

But first, beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass ask the question… are we being gaslit by our hairdressers? New hair-related news suggests the old ‘trimming your hair to help it grow faster’ advice is actually a myth. Plus, we unpack the ‘Aussie Girl Glam’ aesthetic trending on TikTok, and why it’s actually a lie (or at least, not as effortless as Americans might think!).

Leigh and Kelly explain why you need a specific type of mascara to avoid panda-eye smudging, and share a comprehensive list of the best affordable mascaras. They also answer a listener's question about ‘everything’ serums and whether you can get away with using one serum morning and night in your routine. The answer is yes… and no. 

Finally, Kelly has a bone to pick with a particular beauty app and the spreading of misinformation, while Leigh shares the results of a beauty science experiment involving leftover skincare and her scalp.

Leigh and Kelly are back with some top-tier product recommendations, from Leigh’s ultimate lipstick for people who hate lipstick, to Kelly McCarren in a bottle (it’ll make sense once you’ve listened!).

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, the team shares their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations. Leigh’s Spendy is a smudgey, foolproof matte lipstick that feels like you’re wearing nothing – no lip liner required! She also recommends not one, but two glowy skin products for face and body that cost $25 (or less). 

Spoiler: The first is a viral chemist-brand bargain that resembles the iconic (and exxy) Hourglass powders, and the second is a body oil that looks like a hand sanitizer and feels like lube, but leaves body skin glowy and hydrating.

Meanwhile, Kelly shares the most expensive makeup brush she’s ever recommended, but it’s fine, because it’s actually two brushes for the price of one. Plus, meet the lighter, more refreshing version of Kelly’s all-time favourite fragrance, and the new Tarte lip products Leigh lost her mind over.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

SPENDY

Leigh: Merit Signature Lip Blush in Gamay, $44.

Kelly: Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush, $114.

SAVEY

Leigh: Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Revitalizing Body Oil, $14.

Forget everything you think you know about island life. When model and content creator Lyndl Kean signed up for the upcoming season of Australian Survivor Redemption, she knew it would be tough—but she probably didn't imagine she’d be trading her skincare for bits of sharpened bamboo and pipi shells.

In today's episode ofThe Formula, Lyndl joins Kelly to peel back the curtain on the "beauty" reality of the island. From the strict five-item packing limit (and why she ditched undies to make room for a hoodie) to the hacks the contestants used to stay groomed without a single razor or mirror in sight. This is your ultimate Survivor beauty survival guide!

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Baddest Bod Express Tanning Mousse, $30.99.

Clinique Moisture Surge Overnight Mask: Hydrating Mask, $62.

The Original 101 Ointment Multipurpose Superbalm, $18.95.

Our juicy, delicious leader Leigh Campbell is back in the podcast studio and ready to answer your beauty questions!

But first, beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass unpack why we’re all ‘hitting pan’ over shopping new, the unexpected noughties fragrance best seller and the products they aren’t buying anymore.

Leigh and Kelly respond to a voice note listener question (we love us a voice note!) about holiday skincare packing with their top mini product suggestions and a genius decantering system. Plus, Leigh shares her top three foundations for combination skin, along with the single best product she never travels anywhere without.

Plus, our hosts explain what can and can’t help the appearance of puffy under eyes (hint: sleep doesn’t have much to do with it!), and let us in on the puffy eye products they swear by to suit every budget. 

Oh, and if you struggle with hair volume, we’ve got some excellent styling hacks for maximum root lift.

We’re all about high-low here at You Beauty. We’ll try and talk about it all, from a life-changing hair tie that’ll set you back 70 cents, to exactly what a $595 vitamin C serum feels like.

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly McCarren and Amy Clark share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the $19 Korean beauty blush Amy hunted down from TikTok, a retinal serum Kelly wishes she tried earlier, and our first impressions of the new (and very bougie) Augustinus Bader vitamin C serum.

Kelly explains how she just casually stumbled across Mecca’s “best-kept secret” AND what she’s calling the world’s best hair ties on a recent IRL shopping trip. And alongside the one Hourglass makeup product everyone should try at least once, Amy’s breaking the rules (again) this week with not one, but three excellent Saveys – her affordable product picks were just too good not to share.

The dogs are out, and Kelly McCarren and Amy Clark are back answering your juiciest, cringiest and crustiest beauty dilemmas.

Wake up, rhode’s here! If there’s ever a time to break You Beauty protocol, it’s when Hailey Bieber’s viral beauty brand launches in Australia, right?

Breaking beauty news doesn’t get much bigger, which is why Mamamia’s beauty editor Amy Clark pulled Kelly McCarren into the studio for a seriously urgent rhode beauty debrief.

(But don’t fret, friends. Spendy Savey will be waiting in your podcast feed first thing Monday morning.)

In this episode, we recap everything you need to know about the highly anticipated Australian launch of rhode via MECCA and their own direct-to-consumer website, and what this says about the new rules big brands are playing by when arriving Down Under.

And of course, we break down (almost) every single rhode skincare and makeup product in the range, including the viral Glazing Milk and Pocket Blushes, to underrated products that deserve more hype, and the lip liners with 16,000 reviews… not a typo.

We’ve got Kelly’s unfiltered first impressions, along with Amy’s honest thoughts - she’s been trialling for a few weeks. Enjoy!

When it comes to peri, menopause and mid-life skin, today’s guest is ready to unleash some cold, hard skincare truths.

Dr Ginni Mansberg is many things: Qualified GP and resident TV doctor on Sunrise and The Morning Show. Author of How to Handle Your Hormones and expert in mid-life changes (she’s known as ‘The Menopause Whisperer’). Co-founder of ESK Skincare and hardcore into evidence-based ingredients. And one of the hosts of Unleashed, Mamamia’s brand new podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh right now.

In this episode of The Formula, Dr Ginni joins Kelly McCarren to break down how hormones can impact your skin, and the peri and menopausal skin changes that can happen when you hit the mid-life stage.

Plus, Dr Ginni explains why you should care about the pH of your skincare products, the difference between prescription and over-the-counter Vitamin A products, and the ingredients that are a waste of your money, according to the research.

***

In this episode, we discuss skincare actives (including retinoids), managing irritation and skin barrier support, and general approaches to concerns like acne, redness and pigmentation. A reminder to introduce products gradually, patch test where appropriate, and stop use if irritation persists.

From a foundation emergency to whether those viral at-home microinfusion tools are really worth the hype - plus the ultimate formula to great brows - we’re back answering all your beauty questions.

But first, our beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass recap the 2026 Grammys red carpet beauty looks (including the Grammys nail art!), and speculate on why Fenty Beauty is launching into MYER.

Kelly shares how she narrowly avoided a flaky, dry skin makeup situation using only the products in her handbag. She also shares her honest opinion on those at-home microinfusion stamps dominating your algorithm. They claim to deliver skin needling results, at home… but at what cost?

Plus, we dive deep on all things eyebrows, including the perfect brow formula that’s the key to understanding which brow style will suit your face shape, and the eyebrow products that never lead us astray.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED 

Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil, $42.

Benefit Goof Proof Brow Powder, $48.

Leigh and Kelly debate whether it’s possible to achieve a bouncy blow out in under 45 minutes, and give us their best quick and easy hair styling products for effortless everyday hair. Think: Foolproof air dry balms, greasy hair solutions, 30-second up dos and tools you can use in your car (drive safe folks!).

We’re pretty savvy when it comes to miracle marketing claims, but for once, a product might have the stats to back it up… 

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including a new $266 serum that’s clinically proven to reverse skin ageing by up to six years (um, WHAT?!) and the fastest ‘express’ self tan Leigh’s ever tried. Spoiler: You can wash it off after just 20 minutes!

Could a $75 lip serum possibly be worth its spendy price tag? Leigh thinks so; allow her to convince you why. Plus, we’ve found an excellent chemist-brand cream bronzer that rivals your expensive ones, and a vitamin C serum that could become your C E Ferulic alternative for when the ole budget needs tightening.

Leigh Campbell is back alongside Kelly McCarren, and no biggie, but Leigh reckons she’s already found what will be the best product of 2026 (even though it’s only January!).

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the new Charlotte Tilbury ‘flawless’ concealer, a product for lips losing their pigment with age, and the best blush Leigh’s tried in her 20 years as a beauty journalist.

Plus, Kelly’s sad to confirm the very expensive moisturiser MECCA employees swear by is indeed worth the price. And Leigh’s found a chemist-brand body moisturiser so good, her mum likes it better than the Brillo Body Butter - despite her daughter being the Brillo founder!

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Kelly: Cosmetics 27 Baume 27 Advanced Formula, $213.

Leigh: Dr Ben Lahood Eyelid Defence, $80.
