The $7 Skincare Lifesaver & BIG W's Secret Foundation

Plot twist: the skincare aisle is serving up your skincare miracle products that cost less than a coffee, and your new holy grail foundation might be hiding at Big W!

On today's Spendy Savey episode, we're celebrating the beauty finds that prove expensive doesn't always mean better. Kelly's uncovered a $7 hypochlorous acid spray that's about to change your skincare game, while Leigh's fallen for a $26 two-in-one foundation that's doing the work of multiple products. We're testing luxury cleansers that look like liquid bronze, sampling eyeshadow palettes with shocking pigmentation for pocket change, and discovering why cushion foundations are the travel essential you never knew you needed.
