You Beauty

We’re pretty savvy when it comes to miracle marketing claims, but for once, a product might have the stats to back it up…
On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including a new $266 serum that’s clinically proven to reverse skin ageing by up to six years (um, WHAT?!) and the fastest ‘express’ self tan Leigh’s ever tried. Spoiler: You can wash it off after just 20 minutes!
Could a $75 lip serum possibly be worth its spendy price tag? Leigh thinks so; allow her to convince you why. Plus, we’ve found an excellent chemist-brand cream bronzer that rivals your expensive ones, and a vitamin C serum that could become your C E Ferulic alternative for when the ole budget needs tightening.

Youbies: we’re switching things up this week! Q&A will drop in your feed tomorrow (Tuesday).
Today we’re re-sharing this timely interview from OG You Beauty host Erin Docherty with dermatologist, Dr. Ryan DeCruz about what to do about the impact of the sun on our skin.
One of the most common questions we get this time of year is about sun damage and pigmentation, because even if you’re wearing your SPF every day (as you should), warm weather and enjoying your summer out and about can impact your skin.
We’re diving into the best ways to manage sun damage, dark spots, and redness, plus the best product recommendations. Enjoy!

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!
