The Best Product of 2026… Even Though It’s Only January

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!
