Beauty IQ Uncensored

This week on Expert, Sadaf and Tegan are putting their beauty budgets to the test. They reveal the categories they’re happy to splurge on, where they prefer to save, plus all the products they’re loving right now.
Then, it’s time for Win, Bin or Recycle, and the team is divided over... voice notes. Are they a cute way to stay connected or just plain annoying?
Plus, Tegan makes the case for giving your ‘neck and dec’, aka neck and décolletage, a little more love. These often-forgotten areas get plenty of sun exposure and can show signs of premature ageing, so are we really giving them the skincare attention they deserve?

This week on Uncensored, Mel’s got a dry lips hack from... 1911? Yep, you read that right. She’s unearthed an old-school beauty trick that might just be the answer to your chronically cracked lips.
Plus, Tegan and Mel are officially converts to exfoliating body lotions. And before you assume they’re only for tackling body acne, think again. These multitasking formulas can be absolute miracle workers for dry, rough skin.
Then, Dr Phoebe Jones from Beauty By Doctor is back, this time to demystify blephs, aka blepharoplasty. Is eyelid surgery really as scary as it sounds? What does the procedure involve, what kind of results can you expect, and just how much downtime is there?
For PWDKWN, Tegan has a laundry product that is about to blow your mind, particularly if you’re a messy cook. Meanwhile, Mel has returned to a foundation she initially wasn’t sold on, but has since become her go-to for weekend, no-makeup makeup.
And finally, Tegan has a skin treatment recommendation for Mel, who is 40 and has never had one before. Will she be convinced to finally give it a go?

This week on Expert, Tegan walked into the studio looking suspiciously glowy, so naturally Sadaf immediately grilled her on the products behind that radiant complexion, including a K-beauty facial spray Tegan is currently obsessed with.
Then it's time for Win, Bin or Recycle, where hair rollers are on the chopping block. Are they still worth the effort, or have newer styling tools made them obsolete?
Next, Tegan explains why your cleanser might be the most underrated product in your skincare routine. It's not about spending a fortune – it's about understanding your skin type and choosing a formula that works with it, not against it. Expect plenty of recommendations from our favourite skin therapist, too.
Finally, in Adore Anon, the team help a listener who's developed a crush on her gym trainer and wants to know: is it okay to wear makeup to the gym? Tegan and Sadaf discuss the best approach to gym-proof makeup, how to avoid clogged pores and the products they'd actually recommend if you want to look polished without compromising your skin.

This week on Uncensored: Instagram made Mel do it... and it did not go well! She put a viral contour and blush hack to the test, with results that prove not everything you see on your feed should be replicated at home, friends.
Then, in We Tried It, Mel and Tegan spritz their way through a selection of fragrances, deciding exactly who each scent is for. Like, exactly. They're getting very specific, so whether you're after a new everyday perfume, something sexy for date night or a signature scent that gets compliments, we've got recommendations.
We're also joined by Leelah Linke, founder of St. Skin Melbourne, to unpack the connection between your gut, hormones, stress and skin. What can you actually do to support your skin from the inside out? Leelah breaks down the science behind the skin-body connection and shares practical advice you can start using today.
Plus, in PWDKWN, Tegan shares the candle hack that's changed the way she burns expensive candles, and Mel has a slicked-back bun trick that works even if you have a fringe.

This week on Expert, we're talking about the beauty products that genuinely changed the way we do our routines. Sadaf has a concealer that's earned permanent status in her makeup bag and a styling tool that's made her a once-a-week wash girl, while Tegan has discovered a dry shampoo that delivers serious volume, a two-minute hair mask that actually works, and the hair accessory that's officially replaced claw clips.
Plus, we investigate whether blue-light glasses are actually worth wearing or just another wellness trend.
Then in our deep dive, Tegan is unpacking the next wave of skincare ingredients. From PDRN and exosomes to peptides, she explains what they are, what the science says, and who might benefit from adding them to their routine.
And in Adore Anonymous, we help a listener who's looking for the easiest way to master liquid eyeliner, with our favourite beginner-friendly formulas and application tips.
