Lauren Curtis was one of the first Aussie beauty YouTubers and social media stars to grace our screens way back in 2011 - the OG beauty influencer, if you like.

Our very own Amy Clark learned how to curl her hair and apply fake tan from watching Lauren's content, so this is a bit of a fan girl moment!

Lauren shares how she's become her own personal nail technician in 2020, why she took a break from socials, how she deals with haters online, and how she's managing hormonal breakouts.

Lauren Curtis On Being Done With Trolls & Beauty Rules

This week on Expert, Tegan’s had a great haircut, and she’s officially on board with the matte makeup revolution happening right now. Meanwhile, Sadaf lets us have a nosy peek inside her Euro travel first-aid kit (not sexy, but fascinating) and shares the must-haves that made the cut.

Then, it’s time for Win, Bin, Recycle, and this week the team are rating tubing mascara. In a rare BeautyIQ moment, Tegan and Sadaf actually agree on where it belongs.

Next, Tegan gives us the lowdown on peptides in skincare. What exactly do they do? Who should be using them? And where do they fit into your skincare routine? She breaks down the different types of peptides, how to layer them and shares plenty of peptide-packed product recommendations.

Finally, in Adore Anonymous, listener Daphne has a sheet mask question: once you’ve peeled it off, are you supposed to rinse away all that leftover serum? The team settles the debate.

Products mentioned:
Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Mousse – Pinky Brown Bombshell
PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara
AB LAB by Adore Beauty Pep-Pro Grow Tubing Mascara
PCA Skin Pro-Max Age Renewal
Medik8 Liquid Peptides

Every Skincare Peptide You Need to Know About and What to Buy

This week on Uncensored, is beauty entering its soft face era? Tegan and Mel have noticed a growing number of celebrities hitting the red carpet with barely-there makeup, and sometimes, no mascara at all. Is the full-glam era officially on the way out, and are we ready to embrace our natural lashes?

Mel has also discovered a new favourite TLC treatment after visiting NAP Head Spa in Sydney. Think scalp care, relaxation and a very serious dose of self-care. Has Mel finally found her ultimate beauty indulgence?

Then, friend of the podcast and dermal clinician Yads Cauchi is back to talk us through the concept of a moisturiser wardrobe. Because why should we have just one moisturiser? Yads explains why different skin needs, seasons, and situations call for different formulas, plus she shares the moisturisers she reaches for herself.

Mel has found her new overnight lip treatment, and it's one she wasn't expecting to love, and Tegan has a sheet mask that's her new go-to before a night out.

Products mentioned:
Aspect Probiotic Mask
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5+
Avène Cicalfate+ Restorative Protective Cream
Bioderma Sensibio Collection
Bioderma Hydrabio Collection
Aspect Gentle Clean
CeraVe Advanced Repair Balm
Skinceuticals Ultra Facial Defence SPF50+
Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment in Citrus Sunshine
Laneige Cream Skin Milky Hydration Sheet Mask

You're Missing Out If You Don't Have a 'Moisturiser Wardrobe'

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are putting their beauty budgets to the test. They reveal the categories they’re happy to splurge on, where they prefer to save, plus all the products they’re loving right now.

Then, it’s time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and the team is divided over... voice notes. Are they a cute way to stay connected or just plain annoying?

Plus, Tegan makes the case for giving your ‘neck and dec’, aka neck and décolletage, a little more love. These often-forgotten areas get plenty of sun exposure and can show signs of premature ageing, so are we really giving them the skincare attention they deserve?

Maybelline New York Surreal Extensions Mascara
e.l.f. Cosmetics Halo Glow Liquid Filter
Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation
Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation
Medik8 Crystal Retinal
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze
Maybelline New York Super Lock Brow Glue Gel
