Skincare formulator, Georgia South, from Skinterest, pulls back the curtain on why influencer beauty brands are so successful (and so controversial).
In this episode, Kelly McCarren sits in for Erin (who's "prepping to exit a human out of her body") to get the "pervy intel" on what really happens behind the scenes of a beauty launch. From the true cost of formulation to strategic sell-outs, Georgia explains why some people love to hate influencer brands despite their massive success.
Whether you're curious about white-label products, what "5 years in development" actually means, or which celebrity beauty products are genuinely worth your money, this insider's perspective reveals the business formulas behind the beauty formulas.

A question from an "elder millennial" has Leigh and Kelly breaking down the retinol strength debate: is it better to use a mild formula more frequently or a stronger one just once a week? Sharing their personal experiences and product recommendations for different retinol strengths that might work for sensitive skin.
Plus, they tackle why fragrances might be disappearing too quickly. Is your perfume actually vanishing within hours, or is something else happening? (Spoiler: your nose might be playing tricks on you!) Leigh and Kelly offer recommendations for long-lasting formulations that won't fade away by lunchtime.
And don't miss their genius host hacks - Kelly's trick for making black eyeshadow truly black (not blue!) and Leigh's emergency solution for covering grey roots when you're running late!

This week, Kelly makes a shocking discovery—the $17 Revlon Illuminance Glow Primer is practically identical to a high-end $85 primer she's been loving. It creates that perfect glowy-not-shimmery base without breaking the bank.
Plus, Leigh introduces us to the cult-favorite Givenchy Prisme Libre powder that's back with a new formulation. At $108 it's definitely a splurge, but the mini version is just $58 and will last you ages.
And we're spotlighting two incredible Australian small businesses: The Jojoba Company's new neck and décolletage concentrate that answers those frequent "What about my neck?" DMs, and Bangn Body's ergonomically designed body oil with its signature tropical scent.
Don't miss our savey finds: the Milani baked powder blush that gives you that luxurious luminosity for just $21.99, and Kelly rediscovers the Chi Chi Super CC Cream after reading Erin's article—a beauty editor secret that costs half the price of similar products.

Chinese Medicine practitioner The Jade Lady, Dr. Lily, reveals how the 3,000-year-old practice of acupuncture is becoming the natural alternative to injectables for those seeking youthful, glowing skin.
In this episode, we explore how those tiny needles may work beneath the surface to balance your body's internal environment (like maintaining a healthy fish tank!), improve circulation, and enhance absorption—all contributing to that coveted radiant complexion. Plus, Dr. Lily explains why an individualised approach is essential for treating different skin conditions.
Whether you're needle-phobic or curious about holistic beauty treatments, discover which acupuncture point could replace your injectables appointments and learn how Chinese Medicine's "octopus" approach treats beauty from within.

Erin puts Medik8 $160 "wrinkle-erasing" peptide serum to the test! Does it really clear expression lines in just 10 minutes as promised? As a pregnant beauty enthusiast unable to use retinol, Erin reveals whether this expensive alternative delivers on its bold claims.
Plus, Em attempts the viral hair tinsel trend that's been everywhere since the Oscars. After roping in a colleague for an hour-long DIY session, she discovers whether $5 Temu tinsel can create that subtle sparkle effect made famous by "Anora" star Mikey Madison - or if you really need to splurge on the $100 professional version.
The verdict is in on both beauty experiments, and we bid a fond farewell to our beloved producer Cassie Merritt in her final episode with You Beauty!

Facing perimenopause and menopause is a stage we all reach eventually. For a full exploration, Holly Wainwright’s podcast Mid offers an insightful deep dive into the topic.
This week, however, we’re zeroing in on how these changes affect our bodies—and how our wardrobe choices can help us adapt. Leigh Campbell is joined by stylist and colour expert Kim Crowley to discuss how our body shapes naturally evolve during this time and how to dress in a way that complements these shifts, embracing the changes rather than resisting them.

This week, Leigh's hunting down the Christian Dior Stick Glow Foundation that's harder to get than Taylor Swift tickets—but worth the chase for its perfect coverage and travel-friendly format.
Plus, we've discovered a fragrance oil that smells like "expensive bubble gum" and will last you all year with just one drop per application.
And Kelly introduces us to Byoma, the affordable skincare brand with everything under $30, including a lightweight serum that delivers serious hydration without the luxury price tag.
Don't miss our budget finds: a quick-dry nail polish perfect for the impatient beauty lover and a $13 cuticle balm that doubles as a perfect lip treatment.

Erin breaks her two-year haircut drought with Australia's most expensive cut—a $750 "texture edit" that didn't go as expected. When she asked for her usual bob, the stylist actually said no! Find out why this pregnancy-friendly cut might have saved her from yet another hair regret.
Plus, Em puts the endlessly viral castor oil trend to the test on her skin, hair and (briefly) eyelashes. TikTok claims this $15 wonder oil fixes everything from hyperpigmentation to hair growth—but is it actually worth the greasy aftermath? We've tested it everywhere (well, almost everywhere) to bring you the verdict.Watch us on Youtube
