All Bases Covered

EPISODE 178./

Surprise! We're double-barrelling this product trial with a very brief review from Lisa of the Ultra Violette Dream Screen Skin Tint. Alex tried this and reviewed it as a product fave a few weeks ago, and Lisa has now had ample time to provide her thoughts.

Getting into the ACTUAL product trial. This week, we trialled the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Eye Primer upon recommendation this may rival our OG Fave the Nars Pro Prime eye primer. Does it live up to the standard and do the job for our oily oily lids?

Stay tuned.

EPISODE 177./

ha ha ha. What a HILARIOUS time we had in this recording, joking about Lisa's hens, not knowing what a horrible Sunday we had in store.

It's been a big week for us, but an even bigger week in Beauty News!

This week we're discussing Shanxo's baby news, Jen Atkin selling Ouai to Procter and Gamble, Loreal Acquiring Youth to the People, The legal dispute between Hourglass and Mecca coming to an end, PLUS the opening of a brand new super giant Mecca in Melbourne in 2023, and Pantone have announced the 2022 colour of the year - Very Peri.

After beauty news, Alex has decided she has a bone to pick with colour-changing beauty products. You know the Frogprice Lipsticks and the Smashbox O Glosses of the world who claim to react with your PH and produce a colour unique to your own skin? Yep. Them. Let's discuss. Also in a very brief beauty breakdown - we've all noticed the effects that La Ninã is having on our skin... so let's discuss how to fix it.

Finishing things off we have our beauty faves, non beauty faves and snacks of the week to see us out!
