$160 Line-Erasing Serum: Does It Actually Work? Plus, DIY Party Hair Tinsel

Erin puts Medik8 $160 "wrinkle-erasing" peptide serum to the test! Does it really clear expression lines in just 10 minutes as promised? As a pregnant beauty enthusiast unable to use retinol, Erin reveals whether this expensive alternative delivers on its bold claims.

Plus, Em attempts the viral hair tinsel trend that's been everywhere since the Oscars. After roping in a colleague for an hour-long DIY session, she discovers whether $5 Temu tinsel can create that subtle sparkle effect made famous by "Anora" star Mikey Madison - or if you really need to splurge on the $100 professional version.

The verdict is in on both beauty experiments, and we bid a fond farewell to our beloved producer Cassie Merritt in her final episode with You Beauty!
