Today we're talking about Colonic Irrigation by sharing two very different stories. Kee Reece has IBS and often gets Colonics, and Kelly McCarren? Well she once got a Groupon deal for a colonic, and let's just say it didn't go well. So what is a colonic? Is it bullshit or actually helpful? Kelly finds out with a little help from Kee...

We Tried A Colonic So You Don't Have To

Is a serum that smells like a public swimming pool actually the secret to flawless skin, or have we finally gone too far? 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. Plus, Kelly shows off a Charlotte Tilbury palette so pretty she’s treating it like a literal museum artefact.

The $15 Base That Blurs Your Whole Face & A Bronzer Stick For Total Laziness

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/3ea926be-9be7-482a-8ac3-a44f016e43d1/clips/41a3f482-9021-4974-9e23-b3c90170722d/transcript

New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe.

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. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: Coach Suede Fringe Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 39 $950

Lucinda's Boujie: Next Nothing Ordinary Black Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket $620

Chelsea's Budget: VRG GRL Sabrin Bubble Midi Skirt Cream $129

Lucinda's Budget: Summi Summi Sporty Shorty $179

From "clean beauty" fairy tales experts wish you’d forget to the marketing myths clogging your feed, today’s guest is stripping away the bullshit to reveal the cold, hard science of skin.

On this week's episode of The Formula, content creator and evidence-based advocate Sam [By The Counter] breaks down why reading an ingredient list is like trying to guess a cake recipe without the measurements, the truth about who actually pays for "cruelty-free" research, and why your favourite luxury products might actually be worth the splurge. Plus, Sam explains why fragrance isn't the enemy, the "moral superiority" trap in sustainable packaging, and the indie products he swears by for a perfect barrier.
