This week on Uncensored, we chart the rise of Japanese and Korean beauty in Australia, why it's outpacing French cosmetics globally, and the new TikTok-viral brands that just dropped on Adore Beauty.

From glass skin 2.0 to salmon DNA (yes, really), we’re breaking down the skincare and makeup trends you’ll be seeing everywhere in 2025.

In Beauty IQ Hotline, a listener wants to know: What’s the deal with silk pillowcases? We break down the real benefits (and the overhyped claims) for your skin and hair.

And in Stuff We Love, it’s a juicy PWDKWN—Mel's been road testing the new Hada Labo Premium range, and she’s got thoughts. (Spoiler: hydration levels = maxed.)

Oh, and ICYMI: Skims tees are worth the hype. Ashton Hall’s five-hour morning routine? Still processing.
