    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! READ MORE: 'I went to Mecca to try Hailey Bieber's rhode products.

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.

    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.
