In great news for your bank account, affordable makeup brands are killing it right now.
On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the $15 split ends product saving Leigh’s hair, the Gucci beauty product worth buying, and a ‘glass skin’ serum that actually works.
Plus, we unpack everything you need to know about two new budget-friendly makeup brands that have just launched in Australia. No7’s skincare-infused makeup includes a cream bronzer that rivals Chanel, and the Poni Cosmetics re-brand is taking over TikTok. Oh, and there’s not a dupe in sight!
