Strap in, friends! Today’s episode is a wild ride! We’ve got science experiments, buffet serums and a rant about toxic beauty misinformation…

Leigh Campbell and Kelly McCarren are answering your burning questions, from smudgeproof mascaras to suit every budget and tried-and-tested recommendations for "everything" serums to streamline your routine.

But first, beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass ask the question… are we being gaslit by our hairdressers? New hair-related news suggests the old ‘trimming your hair to help it grow faster’ advice is actually a myth. Plus, we unpack the ‘Aussie Girl Glam’ aesthetic trending on TikTok, and why it’s actually a lie (or at least, not as effortless as Americans might think!).

Leigh and Kelly explain why you need a specific type of mascara to avoid panda-eye smudging, and share a comprehensive list of the best affordable mascaras. They also answer a listener's question about ‘everything’ serums and whether you can get away with using one serum morning and night in your routine. The answer is yes… and no. 

Finally, Kelly has a bone to pick with a particular beauty app and the spreading of misinformation, while Leigh shares the results of a beauty science experiment involving leftover skincare and her scalp.
