You Beauty

When you’re a beauty editor, your skin is your business. But what happens when you’re "in the trenches" with a newborn and scraping the bottom of your skincare stash?
On today’s episode of The Formula, Kelly is joined by the "naughty sister" herself, Mamamia’s OG Lifestyle and Beauty Editor, Erin Docherty. After a year on maternity leave, Erin is back in the hot seat to deep dive into the reality of pregnancy and postpartum skin, the products that actually worked during the newborn haze and how she juggles a 5-minute makeup routine with a one-year-old.
From the $150 serum she actually spent her own money on, to the French pharmacy retinol she’s counting down the days to try, Erin reveals how her "skincare maximalist" ways have been humbled by motherhood.

"Pretty boring middle-aged woman" are words we never want to hear again! On today’s Q&A episode, Leigh and Kelly tackle a heartfelt listener dilemma from Holly, an OG member of the You Beauty community who is feeling a little overwhelmed by an upcoming high-glam, black-tie wedding. From the genius way to get a "free" professional makeup application to the $15 stick-on nails that look like a salon manicure, we’re breaking down the stress-free prep for any big event.
Plus, in the Beauty Edit, Mollie and Cass deep dive into the Afghan-American makeup artist brand that finally landed at Mecca, and the $34 French pharmacy fragrance found at Big W. Leigh and Kelly also share the three fragrances they’d take to a desert island, including the scent Leigh wore on her wedding day.

Winter is officially on the doorstep, and let’s be honest, it’s the most expensive season to dress for. Between the wool coats and the leather boots, your bank account can take a serious hit before the first frost even lands. This week, Lucinda and Tam are sharing their top tips for looking chic this Winter on a budget.
They’re breaking down the "Intentional Layering" formula, a 4-step method inspired by Erin Wasson that makes your basic white tee and old knits look like a curated street-style moment. Plus, Tam makes a case for the Statement Jacket being the only hero piece you actually need to buy this year, and why Target and Kmart are currently winning the outerwear game.
EVERYTHING MENTIONED:
Tam’s Picks: Margot Inspired Riding Boots
Tam’s Budget: Therapy Albany Tall Boot Black, $139.95.

Tam’s Mid-Range: Assembly Label Stevie Leather Riding Boot, $300

It's that time of the week for another episode of "The Formula." And while we usually deep dive into a high-profile beauty cabinet on Tuesdays. Today? We're doing things a little differently. We’re going rogue.
This episode is a chaotic, joy-filled peek behind the curtain of your favourite beauty experts; Leigh and Kelly. They're recapping their favourite beauty product this year so far and answering their most commonly asked DM ever.
Then Kelly and Leigh are answering each others non-beauty related questions from which movie universe they'd want to live in all the way to Leigh's earliest childhood memory. Plus, they discuss why "anti-aging" marketing is officially on the way out and why you should probably just cut your hair if you’ve been thinking about it too long.
EVERYTHING MENTIONED:
The Ordinary Rice Lipids + Ectoin Microemulsion, $22.30.
Violette_FR Bisou Balm, $50.
Charlotte Tilbury Lip Cheat in Pillow Talk, $40.
