Is it just us, or is a $185 hairbrush actually... worth it? This week, Kelly and Leigh are clutching their beauty pouches and spilling on the products they’re currently obsessed with. 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.

0:49: 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
