This week on Uncensored, Mel and Hannah dive into the weird, wonderful and slightly questionable things living in our handbags… and what might also be living on them. From loose lip balms and snack crumbs to rogue hair ties and mystery receipts, Mel and Hannah compare the chaotic contents of their bags and discuss the surprising amount of bacteria handbags can harbour if they’re never cleaned. We’ve also got long-time Australian beauty editor Sarah Tarca and co-creator of beauty newsletter Gloss Etc. on the show to talk through the products she’s loved most throughout her career in beauty. Skincare staples, makeup she refuses to give up, and a discontinued perfume she still mourns, plus the fragrance she now wears that gets constant compliments and acts as a close semi-dupe. Hannah has always been a fan of cult Skinceuticals serum C E Ferulic, but she recently branched out into other products from the Skinceuticals lineup, discovering a few under-the-radar formulas that deserve just as much attention. She shares what she’s been testing, what surprised her, and which products might be worth adding to your routine if you’re already a fan of the brand. Thank you to Sarah Tarca from Gloss Etc. for joining us!
