What We're Actually Buying In The Black Friday Sales & The $1 Peel Pads You Need!

The sales are upon us, and to be honest, we're all overwhelmed! But don't panic, because Leigh and Kelly are here to transform you from a confused panic buyer into a Black Friday budget queen! We're giving you the ultimate sales survival guide, including the vital tips you need for gifting and stocking up, and the one simple step that stops you from impulse-buying things you don't need (yes, even vacuums!).

Plus, we tackle the biggest beauty budget dilemma: finding a dupe for the famous, two-step Dennis Gross peel pads and run the numbers to find an incredibly affordable K-Beauty alternative that's less than $2 per treatment—can it really be as good?

Finally, Leigh reveal a genius makeup hack using face oil to give you that effortlessly smoky eyeliner look, and deliver a crucial (and slightly disgusting) PSA about when you must trash your favourite mascara.

We're also diving into your Beauty Edit for the week, covering the massive news about Kim Kardashian's SKIMS acquiring SKKN, Shay Mitchell's new kids' skincare line, and Dua Lipa's surprising, more affordable collaboration with Augustinus Bader.
