    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 Gammy, $44. Kelly: Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush, $114. SAVEY Leigh: Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Revitalizing Body Oil, $14. Kelly: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray, $41, and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Fine Fragrance Mist, $10. NEWBIE: Leigh: Covergirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Bronzer, $24.95, and Covergirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Blush, $24.95. Kelly: Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Liner With Charm (Limited Edition), $46, and Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Gloss With Charm (Limited Edition), $46.

    How This Australian Survivor Contestant Kept Her Skin & Hair Alive On The Island

    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 of The 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. Skinstitut Gentle Cleanser, $52. Skinstitut L-Lactic Cleanser, $52. Batiste Original Dry Shampoo 350ml, $29.30.

    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.  EVERYTHING MENTIONED: SPENDY: Kelly: Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter, $59.
