Signature Scents, Stick-On Toenails & Side Sleeper Curl Hacks

Kelly was in tears over a Gucci gift—a $2000+ collection of The Alchemist's Garden fragrances. And Leigh's introducing her new baby, a hair mask from her brand, Brillo Beauty, that took two years to make and is already outselling the brand’s cult body butter! In this final, Spendy Savey of the year, Leigh and Kelly cover the biggest finds across all price points. Leigh reveals a once-secret, highly-clinical skincare brand that’s about to go mainstream (and why it’s worth the splurge). Meanwhile, Kelly drops a bombshell with a Nivea serum (a $42 drugstore product), that has the feel and results of an expensive competitor, making it a dream for summer skin. Plus, a brilliant sub-$20 SOS mist and the two pricey serums they are finally scraping out! EVERYTHING MENTIONED: SPENDY: Kelly: NIVEA Cellular Filler Expert Replumping Hyaluronic Serum, $45.

We've all been there: you walk into a vintage store, feel instantly overwhelmed by the "dress uppy" costumes and confusing eras, and leave with nothing. This week, Leigh is talking to vintage expert Tara Rowe, owner of the viral vintage wedding dress store Call Me The Breeze, about how to actually succeed at secondhand shopping. Tara explains why the secret isn't thrifting (which involves rummaging), but finding curated resellers who act as your personal "conduit" for the good stuff. She shares her tips for finding sellers who match your niche, why 90s fashion is the most in-demand era, and why there’s nothing cooler than saying "Oh, this? It's vintage."

We're unleashing the essential, non-negotiable party hacks you need to conquer the holidays including a detailed eyelash curler masterclass where Leigh passionately defends the tool (even admitting she'd take it to Survivor!), and reveals her three-step technique for a perfect, breakage-free curl and naming the heroes worth your cash.

They're also unpacking the biggest trends coming for your wardrobe, from the polarising jort and cargo denim to the "watch this space" double waistband jeans.
