You Beauty

Leigh and Kelly are back with some top-tier product recommendations, from Leigh’s ultimate lipstick for people who hate lipstick, to Kelly McCarren in a bottle (it’ll make sense once you’ve listened!). On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, the team shares their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations. Leigh’s Spendy is a smudgey, foolproof matte lipstick that feels like you’re wearing nothing – no lip liner required! She also recommends not one, but two glowy skin products for face and body that cost $25 (or less).  Spoiler: The first is a viral chemist-brand bargain that resembles the iconic (and exxy) Hourglass powders, and the second is a body oil that looks like a hand sanitizer and feels like lube, but leaves body skin glowy and hydrating. Meanwhile, Kelly shares the most expensive makeup brush she’s ever recommended, but it’s fine, because it’s actually two brushes for the price of one. Plus, meet the lighter, more refreshing version of Kelly’s all-time favourite fragrance, and the new Tarte lip products Leigh lost her mind over. EVERYTHING MENTIONED: SPENDY Leigh: Merit Signature Lip Blush in Gamay, $44. Kelly: Hourglass Veil™ Powder Brush, $114. SAVEY Leigh: Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Revitalizing Body Oil, $14. Kelly: Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Scent Spray, $41, and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Fine Fragrance Mist, $10. NEWBIE: Leigh: Covergirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Bronzer, $24.95, and Covergirl TruBlend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Blush, $24.95. Kelly: Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Plump Liner With Charm (Limited Edition), $46, and Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Gloss With Charm (Limited Edition), $46.

Tam is joined by fashion powerhouse and former Vogue China fashion director, Grace Lam. She’s also one of the hosts of Unleashed, Mamamia’s brand new podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh right now. She's worked with the likes of Jude Law, Hugh Grant, Kate Moss, and Naomi Campbell... but today she's helping us get ready for date night. She's taking us through her top international styling tips, which brands we need to be watching right now, and why she wants you to stop buying "boring" staples and start raiding your partner's wardrobe.

Forget everything you think you know about island life. When model and content creator Lyndl Kean signed up for the upcoming season of AustralianSurvivor Redemption, she knew it would be tough—but she probably didn't imagine she’d be trading her skincare for bits of sharpened bamboo and pipi shells. In today's episode of The Formula, Lyndl joins Kelly to peel back the curtain on the "beauty" reality of the island. From the strict five-item packing limit (and why she ditched undies to make room for a hoodie) to the hacks the contestants used to stay groomed without a single razor or mirror in sight.

Our juicy, delicious leader Leigh Campbell is back in the podcast studio and ready to answer your beauty questions!

Plus, Leigh shares her top three foundations for combination skin, along with the single best product she never travels anywhere without.

We’re all about high-low here at You Beauty. We’ll try and talk about it all, from a life-changing hair tie that’ll set you back 70 cents, to exactly what a $595 vitamin C serum feels like. On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly McCarren and Amy Clark share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the $19 Korean beauty blush Amy hunted down from TikTok, a retinal serum Kelly wishes she tried earlier, and our first impressions of the new (and very bougie) Augustinus Bader vitamin C serum. Kelly explains how she just casually stumbled across Mecca’s “best-kept secret” AND what she’s calling the world’s best hair ties on a recent IRL shopping trip. And alongside the one Hourglass makeup product everyone should try at least once, Amy’s breaking the rules (again) this week with not one, but three excellent Saveys – her affordable product picks were just too good not to share.  EVERYTHING MENTIONED: SPENDY: Kelly: Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter, $59.

It’s February, it’s officially sweltering, and the struggle to stay chic without melting is very real. This week on Nothing To Wear, Chelsea is joined by curve model, content creator, and fashion insider Jessica Lucey to unpack the ultimate guide to heatproof fashion. From the specific silhouettes that promote airflow to the "neutral-adjacent" colours that are taking over the runways (hello, butter yellow!), Jessica shares her expert tips on how to break the fashion "rules".

Plus, is it terrible to wear makeup to bed? A first-sleepover makeup dilemma has us re-thinking the rules.

Wake up, rhode’s here! If there’s ever a time to break You Beauty protocol, it’s when Hailey Bieber’s viral beauty brand launches in Australia, right? Breaking beauty news doesn’t get much bigger, which is why Mamamia’s beauty editor Amy Clark pulled Kelly McCarren into the studio for a seriously urgent rhode beauty debrief. (But don’t fret, friends. Spendy Savey will be waiting in your podcast feed first thing Monday morning.) In this episode, we recap everything you need to know about the highly anticipated Australian launch of rhode via MECCA and their own direct-to-consumer website, and what this says about the new rules big brands are playing by when arriving Down Under. And of course, we break down (almost) every single rhode skincare and makeup product in the range, including the viral Glazing Milk and Pocket Blushes, to underrated products that deserve more hype, and the lip liners with 16,000 reviews… not a typo.

From a foundation emergency to whether those viral at-home microinfusion tools are really worth the hype - plus the ultimate formula to great brows - we’re back answering all your beauty questions. But first, our beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass recap the 2026 Grammys red carpet beauty looks (including the Grammys nail art!), and speculate on why Fenty Beauty is launching into MYER.

Today we’re re-sharing this timely interview from OG You Beauty host Erin Docherty with dermatologist, Dr. Ryan DeCruz about what to do about the impact of the sun on our skin.  One of the most common questions we get this time of year is about sun damage and pigmentation, because even if you’re wearing your SPF every day (as you should), warm weather and enjoying your summer out and about can impact your skin.   We’re diving into the best ways to manage sun damage, dark spots, and redness, plus the best product recommendations.

Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted.

Is your highlighter making you look like a 2016 disco ball instead of a dewy goddess? And could a specific scene in a viral thriller be the reason you're finally skipping your hair appointment? On today’s episode of The Fix, Kelly and Amy are getting into the nitty-gritty of summer beauty dilemmas, from the awkward reality of "smelly hair" when you're stretching out your washes to the best way to handle your business down south.

If you're struggling with painful backne or wondering how to tell your partner their scalp needs a scrub without being a total jerk, we've got the expert-approved (and slightly rogue) advice you need to survive the season. On the Beauty Edit, we’re unpacking the "New Year Glow" taking over TikTok, why "recession hair" is the ultimate 2026 vibe, and the "Housemaid" trend that has us all ditching the salon to embrace our roots.

On today’s Spendy Savey, Amy reveals the "annoyingly good" liquid gold she used to save her face from flare-ups before her wedding, while Kelly discovers a drugstore base that starts white but magically transforms into the perfect summer glow. We’re deep-diving into "vegetarian snail jizz" for the plumpest skin of your life, the budget nail savior that fixes yellowing beds in one swipe, and why everyone is obsessed with a "galactic" eyeshadow throwback that looks like a pink sci-fi dream.

We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer. Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury.

We've all been there: you walk into a vintage store, feel instantly overwhelmed by the "dress uppy" costumes and confusing eras, and leave with nothing. This week, Leigh is talking to vintage expert Tara Rowe, owner of the viral vintage wedding dress store Call Me The Breeze, about how to actually succeed at secondhand shopping. Tara explains why the secret isn't thrifting (which involves rummaging), but finding curated resellers who act as your personal "conduit" for the good stuff. She shares her tips for finding sellers who match your niche, why 90s fashion is the most in-demand era, and why there’s nothing cooler than saying "Oh, this? It's vintage."

This episode is a gift to your face! It's the grand finale, the last Q&A of the year is officially HERE! We're unleashing the essential, non-negotiable party hacks you need to conquer the holidays including a detailed eyelash curler masterclass where Leigh passionately defends the tool (even admitting she'd take it to Survivor!), and reveals her three-step technique for a perfect, breakage-free curl and naming the heroes worth your cash. Plus, we're settling a major beauty debate: Do those added skincare ingredients in primers (yes, looking at you, Go-To and e.l.f.) actually do anything when they're layered over your full routine? They can't hurt, but can they help? And finally, Kelly & Leigh drop some top-tier festive tips, including how to use boob tape for that perfect lift in any plunge dress and a genius hack using eyeshadow primer to stop face sweat—because we schvitz! In the Beauty Edit, Cass and Taylah unpack the seriously polarising choice of Cloud Dancer as the Pantone Colour of the Year 2026, and break down the blockbuster lawsuit where Sol de Janeiro is suing e.l.f.

Forget everything you thought you knew about your ageing journey: from your mid-twenties, your collagen levels are on a downward trajectory!

Forget everything you thought you knew about Kelly's no-tan era, because she is here to make a shameful but glorious confession about the $30-something drugstore mousse that cured her "bruised legs" problem and turned her back into a bronzed queen who is obsessed with an ugly but powerful exfoliating mitt. Meanwhile, Amy is living out her most fabulous life and is reviewing a decadent Victoria Beckham Beauty shimmering dry body oil that literally smells like Posh Spice has invited you onto her yacht (yes, it costs a small fortune). Then, we dive into the makeup artist secret weapon—a famous French pharmacy cream that now comes in radiance-boosting, tinted versions to correct redness and get the lowdown on a new limited-edition cleansing balm that smells like a gourmet holiday dessert!

Ever wondered who is behind the iconic "Fashion Critical" account? This week, Leigh's managed to sneak in Australia’s most mysterious fashion commentator to the Mamamia offices (in disguise... obviously) to spill all her red carpet secrets. They're the anonymous voice we all turn to for the real commentary on everything from the Brownlow to the Met Gala, and they're not holding back. They're breaking down the biggest fashion crimes they see time and time again, from the dreaded "naked dress" to the accessories they'd ban forever. They're revealing how it all started, how their commentary has changed from "savage" to "satirical,". We’re getting the official glossary for all their iconic terms, from what "crotch whiskers" actually are, to why "should have caught the bus" is the ultimate insult. Plus, they spill on the celebrity DMs they've received—including the ones who weren't happy—and why the Oscars red carpet is actually the most boring one of the year.

Forget everything you thought you knew about hair removal: the full bush is officially back, and Abbie Chatfield says it might even be the secret to better orgasms! Welcome to The Full Bush Renaissance, the major cultural mood shift of 2025. Women everywhere are opting out of the exhausting cycle of shaving, waxing, and quiet shame… and Abbie shares the shocking story of how she was dropped from a major brand deal simply for choosing to show her body hair and keep things real. We set the scene with all the awards-night beauty, chaos and gossip before diving into Abbie’s world: from the very quirky pre-show ritual her boyfriend Adam Hyde swears by (yes, it involves her undies) to how she deals with constant online criticism and body shaming. Abbie shares her full curly hair routine for summer frizz, and the secret to her resilient skin — including her affordable holy-grail $11 CeraVe balm.
