Thu, 27 Aug 2026 - 1577 - How Often Should We Really Wash Our Hair? The Answer SHOCKED Us!
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.

From using your concealer for instant hair highlights to a trending plant extract promising to change hair removal forever, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren are putting on their lab coats and putting beauty myths to the test.

Plus, we investigate the cyperus rotundus plant extract: is it a genuine hair removal game-changer or complete snake oil?

Thu, 23 Jul 2026 - 1570 - WTF Is Eyemaxxing & Meet Your New Under Eye Bestie (For $3.95)
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.

Sun, 24 May 2026 - 1558 - The $6 Blush That Rivals Luxury Brands & The Secret To 3-Month Frizz-Free Hair
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.

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.

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 looksThu, 07 May 2026 - 1548 - The Ultimate Gift Guide: Foolproof Treats For Every Budget (And Yourself)

Mon, 04 May 2026 - 1547 - It's Hack City Baby! The FREE Beauty Tips You Need To Know
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.

Thu, 09 Apr 2026 - 1532 - Unpacking The "Kris Jenner" Facelift & Why You Shouldn't Cleanse In The Shower With Facialist April Brodie
Iconic facialist April Brodie has 40 years of experience treating skin across the world - but today she joins Kelly to dish on her recent journey to South Korea for her very own viral "Kris Jenner" facelift. With clinics in Sydney, Melbourne, and London, April is the woman the beauty elite trust with their faces, and in this episode of The Formula, she shares the reality of her Korean surgery, why she’s obsessed with "scalp facials," and the truth about those famous buccal massages.
And after this episode, you'll wonder whether its time to skip using cleanser in the morning.

Mon, 06 Apr 2026 - 1531 - The $4.50 Liner For The Perfect Tight Line & Can Vitamin C Be Too Cheap?
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.

Thu, 02 Apr 2026 - 1529 - Style Inspo: The 7 Things Stylish Women Always Do
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.

Wed, 01 Apr 2026 - 1528 - TikTok’s Beauty Creator of the Year On Her “Rolls-Royce” Foundation Method
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.

Mon, 09 Mar 2026 - 1515 - Insider Goss & Top Picks From Sephora’s New Product Showcase
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.

Thu, 05 Mar 2026 - 1512 - The Next Big Things in Skin With Sydney’s ‘If You Know, You Know’ Facialist, Carina Gross
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.

Mon, 02 Mar 2026 - 1511 - A Clean Beauty Rant, Smudgeproof Mascaras & ‘Everything’ Serums
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.

Sun, 01 Mar 2026 - 1510 - Luminous Skin For $25 (Or Less) & The Lipstick For Lipstick Haters
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.

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 - 1506 - Mecca’s Best-Kept Secret & The New Augustinus Bader Vitamin C Serum
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.

Sun, 15 Feb 2026 - 1502 - An Urgent Rhode Debrief: What We Would (& Wouldn’t) Buy
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!

Thu, 12 Feb 2026 - 1500 - Mid-Life Skin Truths & BS Ingredient Myths With “The Menopause Whisperer” Dr Ginni
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.

Mon, 09 Feb 2026 - 1499 - Our Verdict On At-Home MicroInfusions & The Formula For Perfect Brows
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.

Sun, 25 Jan 2026 - 1490 - The Best Product of 2026… Even Though It’s Only January
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!

Mon, 19 Jan 2026 - 1487 - The "Housemaid" Hair Trend & The Truth About Your Bikini Line
Is your highlighter making you look like a 2016 disco ball instead of a dewy goddess? And could a specific scene in a viral thriller be the reason you're finally skipping your hair appointment? On today’s episode of The Fix, Kelly and Amy are getting into the nitty-gritty of summer beauty dilemmas, from the awkward reality of "smelly hair" when you're stretching out your washes to the best way to handle your business down south. Amy and Kelly get real about their pubic hair routines—including the kitchen scissor incident you have to hear to believe—and why the "bush" is officially back. If you're struggling with painful backne or wondering how to tell your partner their scalp needs a scrub without being a total jerk, we've got the expert-approved (and slightly rogue) advice you need to survive the season.
On the Beauty Edit, we’re unpacking the "New Year Glow" taking over TikTok, why "recession hair" is the ultimate 2026 vibe, and the "Housemaid" trend that has us all ditching the salon to embrace our roots.

Barry M Heatwave Multi-Use Liquid Shimmer, $15.
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Bio-Radiant™ Glassy Balm Highlighter Stick, $52.

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 - 1486 - The $15 Base That Blurs Your Whole Face & A Bronzer Stick For Total Laziness
Is a serum that smells like a public swimming pool actually the secret to flawless skin, or have we finally gone too far?

We’re deep-diving into "vegetarian snail jizz" for the plumpest skin of your life, the budget nail savior that fixes yellowing beds in one swipe, and why everyone is obsessed with a "galactic" eyeshadow throwback that looks like a pink sci-fi dream.

On this week's episode of The Formula, content creator and evidence-based advocate Sam [By The Counter] breaks down why reading an ingredient list is like trying to guess a cake recipe without the measurements, the truth about who actually pays for "cruelty-free" research, and why your favourite luxury products might actually be worth the splurge.

Mon, 12 Jan 2026 - 1483 - Summer Foundation Fixes & Nailing the ‘Nina Park’ Lip
Is your foundation actually settling into your pores, or are you just using it all wrong? Kelly and Amy are back for 2026 to rescue your routine from the "crusty" depths, starting with a foundation hack that doubles as a full-body airbrusher for your limbs. We’re deep-diving into the lip stains that won't leave your pout feeling like actual cardboard, the color-depositing masks that save lackluster hair, and the summer habits we’re refusing to quit. Whether you're trying to look less "corpsey" or just want a base that survives the humidity, consider this your official beauty reset.

Mon, 15 Dec 2025 - 1469 - Primer That Lasts & Leigh's Eyelash Masterclass
This episode is a gift to your face! It's the grand finale, the last Q&A of the year is officially HERE! We're unleashing the essential, non-negotiable party hacks you need to conquer the holidays including a detailed eyelash curler masterclass where Leigh passionately defends the tool (even admitting she'd take it to Survivor!), and reveals her three-step technique for a perfect, breakage-free curl and naming the heroes worth your cash.
Plus, we're settling a major beauty debate: Do those added skincare ingredients in primers (yes, looking at you, Go-To and e.l.f.) actually do anything when they're layered over your full routine? They can't hurt, but can they help? And finally, Kelly & Leigh drop some top-tier festive tips, including how to use boob tape for that perfect lift in any plunge dress and a genius hack using eyeshadow primer to stop face sweat—because we schvitz!
In the Beauty Edit, Cass and Taylah unpack the seriously polarising choice of Cloud Dancer as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2026, and break down the blockbuster lawsuit where Sol de Janeiro is suing e.l.f. Beauty over alleged copycat packaging and scents.

Thu, 11 Dec 2025 - 1466 - Is Your Skincare Enough? The Truth About Collagen Boosters
Forget everything you thought you knew about your ageing journey: from your mid-twenties, your collagen levels are on a downward trajectory! And if you want to hold onto the bounce of your baby cheeks, you need to understand the science of stimulation.
To get the real facts, Kelly's talking to cosmetic doctor Dr. Yalda for a straight-up, science-based discussion about collagen stimulators (one of the most buzzed-about treatments in aesthetics)! We cover everything from setting realistic expectations (results can take months!) to the critical role of your lifestyle (yes, you need to be eating enough protein!). Plus, Dr. Yalda reveals the biggest red flags to watch out for when choosing a practitioner and chats the two bizarre TikTok beauty trends that she thinks should be banned forever.

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 - 1457 - The Fix: Black Friday Sales, Foundation Thieves & Is Body Contouring in Bed Lying?
Is gifting a beauty voucher too impersonal? We settle the debate on Christmas presents in a cost-of-living crisis. Does using body contouring makeup during intimacy count as lying? We offer transfer-proof tan recommendations (and a few bedroom tips). And why is your housemate tracking their expensive foundation use with a sticker? We deal with beauty boundaries and foundation theft.
Welcome to The Fix - where your beauty agony aunts Kelly & Amy tackle the awkward, practical, and essential dilemmas that come with real-life beauty struggles.
Plus, we break down the latest beauty headlines: Black Friday is already here with huge deals including 30% off GHD, the unexpected 2026 Met Gala theme, and Go-To is making a big splash with their new colour makeup line.
