  • Mecca’s Best-Kept Secret & The New Augustinus Bader Vitamin C Serum
    Feb 19 2026
    We’re all about high-low here at You Beauty. We’ll try and talk about it all, from a life-changing hair tie that’ll set you back 70 cents, to exactly what a $595 vitamin C serum feels like. On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Kelly McCarren and Amy Clark share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the $19 Korean beauty blush Amy hunted down from TikTok, a retinal serum Kelly wishes she tried earlier, and our first impressions of the new (and very bougie) Augustinus Bader vitamin C serum. Kelly explains how she just casually stumbled across Mecca’s “best-kept secret” AND what she’s calling the world’s best hair ties on a recent IRL shopping trip. And alongside the one Hourglass makeup product everyone should try at least once, Amy’s breaking the rules (again) this week with not one, but three excellent Saveys – her affordable product picks were just too good not to share. EVERYTHING MENTIONED: SPENDY: Kelly: Stila Heaven's Hue Highlighter, $59. Amy: Rimmel Oh My Plump! Lip Shaper in Kinda Cute, $16.95 + Fwee 3D Volumising Gloss in Pink Candy, $20.

Plus, we’re getting into the nitty-gritty of summer dressing: the best moisture-wicking bras to combat boob sweat, why thongs are officially back, and the $50 sun hat you’ll be wearing every single weekend.

  • An Urgent Rhode Debrief: What We Would (& Wouldn’t) Buy
    Feb 12 2026
    Wake up, rhode’s here! If there’s ever a time to break You Beauty protocol, it’s when Hailey Bieber’s viral beauty brand launches in Australia, right? Breaking beauty news doesn’t get much bigger, which is why Mamamia’s beauty editor Amy Clark pulled Kelly McCarren into the studio for a seriously urgent rhode beauty debrief. (But don’t fret, friends. Spendy Savey will be waiting in your podcast feed first thing Monday morning.) In this episode, we recap everything you need to know about the highly anticipated Australian launch of rhode via MECCA and their own direct-to-consumer website, and what this says about the new rules big brands are playing by when arriving Down Under. And of course, we break down (almost) every single rhode skincare and makeup product in the range, including the viral Glazing Milk and Pocket Blushes, to underrated products that deserve more hype, and the lip liners with 16,000 reviews… not a typo. We’ve got Kelly’s unfiltered first impressions, along with Amy’s honest thoughts - she’s been trialling for a few weeks. Enjoy! READ MORE: 'I went to Mecca to try Hailey Bieber's rhode products.

  • Mid-Life Skin Truths & BS Ingredient Myths With “The Menopause Whisperer” Dr Ginni
    Feb 9 2026

    When it comes to peri, menopause and mid-life skin, today’s guest is ready to unleash some cold, hard skincare truths.

Author of How to Handle Your Hormones and expert in mid-life changes (she’s known as ‘The Menopause Whisperer’). Co-founder of ESK Skincare and hardcore into evidence-based ingredients. And one of the hosts of Unleashed, Mamamia’s brand new podcast for Gen X women who need a laugh right now.

    In this episode of The Formula, Dr Ginni joins Kelly McCarren to break down how hormones can impact your skin, and the peri and menopausal skin changes that can happen when you hit the mid-life stage.

    Plus, Dr Ginni explains why you should care about the pH of your skincare products, the difference between prescription and over-the-counter Vitamin A products, and the ingredients that are a waste of your money, according to the research.

    ***

    In this episode, we discuss skincare actives (including retinoids), managing irritation and skin barrier support, and general approaches to concerns like acne, redness and pigmentation. A reminder to introduce products gradually, patch test where appropriate, and stop use if irritation persists.

  • Our Verdict On At-Home MicroInfusions & The Formula For Perfect Brows
    Feb 8 2026

    From a foundation emergency to whether those viral at-home microinfusion tools are really worth the hype - plus the ultimate formula to great brows - we’re back answering all your beauty questions.

    But first, our beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass recap the 2026 Grammys red carpet beauty looks (including the Grammys nail art!), and speculate on why Fenty Beauty is launching into MYER.

    Kelly shares how she narrowly avoided a flaky, dry skin makeup situation using only the products in her handbag. She also shares her honest opinion on those at-home microinfusion stamps dominating your algorithm. They claim to deliver skin needling results, at home… but at what cost?

    Plus, we dive deep on all things eyebrows, including the perfect brow formula that’s the key to understanding which brow style will suit your face shape, and the eyebrow products that never lead us astray.

    EVERYTHING MENTIONED

    Benefit Precisely My Brow Pencil, $42.

    Benefit Goof Proof Brow Powder, $48.
