You Beauty

Leigh Campbell is back alongside Kelly McCarren, and no biggie, but Leigh reckons she’s already found what will be the best product of 2026 (even though it’s only January!).
On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the new Charlotte Tilbury ‘flawless’ concealer, a product for lips losing their pigment with age, and the best blush Leigh’s tried in her 20 years as a beauty journalist.
Plus, Kelly’s sad to confirm the very expensive moisturiser MECCA employees swear by is indeed worth the price. And Leigh’s found a chemist-brand body moisturiser so good, her mum likes it better than the Brillo Body Butter - despite her daughter being the Brillo founder!

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.
After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her.

Leigh's Budget: Uniqlo U Cotton Crew Neck T-Shirt
Jess's Budget: Quay Sunglasses

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. Amy and Kelly get real about their pubic hair routines—including the kitchen scissor incident you have to hear to believe—and why the "bush" is officially back. 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.

Barry M Heatwave Multi-Use Liquid Shimmer, $15.
HAUS LABS BY LADY GAGA Bio-Radiant™ Glassy Balm Highlighter Stick, $52.
Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Acqua Highlighter, $75.

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.
