    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.

Oh, and Kelly brings a gross but ultra satisfying hack for removing foul days-old fake tan in seconds.

    Style Inspo: The Noughties 2.0 Just Dropped... Here’s What We’re Doing Differently

    The aesthetic us millennials had thought we’d left in the vault for good is officially back. This week, Tam and Lucinda are diving into the Noughties Fashion Revival—from the red carpets of the early 2000s to Gen Z's new takes on some of these classic trends.  They’re unpacking the "tiny girl, big bag" era, the return of the iconic Chloe Paddington, and why JW Anderson's Pigeon Bag from And Just Like That has become a cautionary tale for the costume designers of the new Devil Wears Prada sequel. The girls also tackle the trends that give us all a little fashion PTSD: low-rise jeans, dresses over pants, and the trucker hat’s high-fashion makeover. Whether you're leaning into the nostalgia or watching from a safe distance, here is how to do Noughties 2.0. Lucinda's Boujie: Polo Ralph Lauren Cotton Canvas Vintage Ralph's Garage Trucker Hat, $152.40. Tam's Boujie: Araminta James AJ Terry Pant Mocha, $149. Lucinda's Budget: Cotton On Sandy Mini Skirt, $49.99.  Tam's Budget: Best & Less Womens Straight Leg Terry Fleece Trackpant, $25.

  5. The Next Big Things in Skin With Sydney’s ‘If You Know, You Know’ Facialist, Carina Gross

    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. GERnétic skincare. Victoria Beckham Beauty The Foundation Drops with TFC8®, $185. IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF50, $82. Batiste Original Dry Shampoo, $13.70.

  6. A Clean Beauty Rant, Smudgeproof Mascaras & ‘Everything’ Serums

    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. EVERYTHING MENTIONED: DIOR Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara, $69. Lancôme Lash Idôle Mascara, $66. Mecca Max Whip Lash Tubing Mascara, $26. Natio Precision Tubing Mascara, $17.95.

  7. Luminous Skin For $25 (Or Less) & The Lipstick For Lipstick Haters

    26 FEB

    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. 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.
