From a $12 viral foundation taking over the internet to a shocking $6.50 sheep placenta cream and a Friday night DIY hair dye nightmare, we’ve truly seen it all this week. 

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh Campbell is joined by Mamamia beauty editor Erin Docherty to unpack why 30-somethings are opting for surgical facelifts, the nostalgic 90s hair accessory making a runway comeback, and whether azelaic acid deserves a spot in your skincare routine. 

Plus, we’re bringing you the ultimate roundup of high-performing foundations under $20 (yes, they actually exist!), an eye cream that instantly rescues dry winter skin, and the emergency $44 hair gloss that saved Leigh’s orange hair disaster.
