Mel is back from maternity leave, and we have much to catch up on in this week's Uncensored episode – but first, we need to know everything about her new baby, Joey.

First up in Trending, we’re asking: Is shopping IRL making a comeback? From Adore Beauty's physical store rollout to the revival of Chadstone and Chatswood Chase, we unpack why physical retail is booming again and what it says about the way we shop in 2025.

In Build My Cart, listener Rhianna asked us to curate the ultimate beginner’s makeup kit for a natural, glowy look. Then, we're sharing the beauty creators and experts inspiring us right now for Stuff We Love.

Finally, we unpack TikTok’s “Australian 10” trend. What even is the Australian beauty aesthetic? Slicked-back buns, bronzed skin, dewy glow?? We’ve got thoughts.
