What happens when you’re away from home with zero makeup and a formal event on the cards? In this week’s Uncensored episode, we put our personal shopper hats on for a listener who needs a full glam look—on a strict $150 budget. From the best drugstore foundation to a smudge-proof mascara and a setting spray that actually works, we build a cart that covers all the essentials (and looks damn good in photos).

Plus, in We Tried It, Mel shares her experience getting a pregnancy-safe lymphatic massage. We unpack what makes this treatment safe for pregnancy, what to expect during the session, and why hydration is key post-massage.

Then, Hannah shares her latest obsession: a sinus care system (shoutout FLO), and Mel’s bringing her favourite chicken soup recipe into the group chat—because beauty starts with feeling good, right?

Oh, and if sparkly skin won’t leave your algorithm alone either, you’re not alone. We talk TikTok’s obsession with Meredith Duxbury’s glowy glam and the MCoBeauty dupe that nails the vibe.
