Beauty IQ Uncensored

Maria Thattil on Miss Universe, Makeup Hacks & Media Scandals

This week on Uncensored, Mel has stumbled across an account dedicated to genius beauty products that don’t exist… but absolutely should. She shares some of the most jaw-dropping inventions with Tegan before the pair dream up a few fantasy beauty products of their own.

Then, Tegan takes us inside her recent visit to Shape House in Melbourne, where she tried one of their famous lymphatic drainage massages. Consider her officially converted. She breaks down exactly what the treatment involved and why she loved it so much.

Friend of the pod Yads Cauchi is back, this time wearing her clinical nutritionist hat, to talk all things ‘fibremaxxing’. The TikTok trend is giving our collective protein obsession a run for its money, and Yads is a big fan. She explains what getting enough fibre can do for your skin and body, plus shares some simple ways to sneak more of it into your everyday diet.

Finally, it’s a double PWDKWN! Tegan and Mel have both been putting the new Shark Beauty SpeedStyle Pro FLEX Hair Dryer System through its paces. And when they say speed style, they mean it.

Yep, 'Fibremaxxing' Can Give You Clearer Skin

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.

Huda Beauty Liquid Matte Mousse – Pinky Brown Bombshell
PCA Skin Hyaluronic Acid Lip Booster
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara

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
