Desperate Times, Creative Measures: Hotel Room Hacks & Glycolic Armpits
Em tests an emergency beauty hack after finding herself in a hotel room with a full face and no cleanser. Can moisturiser effectively remove makeup when you're in a pinch? She compares the results to micellar water to determine if this old-school trick deserves its viral TikTok revival. Meanwhile, Erin continues her glycolic acid experiments by testing whether it can replace your deodorant. After recruiting her husband for an extra sweaty test run, she reveals if these chemical exfoliant pads can truly combat underarm odour and hyperpigmentation as social media dermatologists claim.

The Beauty Business Formula: Inside The World Of Influencer Skincare Brands
Kelly McCarren sits in for Erin (who's "prepping to exit a human out of her body") to get the "pervy intel" on what really happens behind the scenes of a beauty launch. We speak with Georgia South, from Skinterest, as she pulls back the curtain on why influencer beauty brands are so successful (and so controversial). From the true cost of formulation to strategic sell-outs, Georgia explains why some people love to hate influencer brands despite their massive success. Whether you're curious about white-label products, what "5 years in development" actually means, or which celebrity beauty products are genuinely worth your money, this insider's perspective reveals the business formulas behind the beauty formulas.

Finding Your Perfect Retinol Match & Solving Fragrance Fade
A question from an "elder millennial" has Leigh and Kelly breaking down the retinol strength debate: is it better to use a mild formula more frequently or a stronger one just once a week? Sharing their personal experiences and product recommendations for different retinol strengths that might work for sensitive skin. Plus, they tackle why fragrances might be disappearing too quickly. Is your perfume actually vanishing within hours, or is something else happening? (Spoiler: your nose might be playing tricks on you!)

The $17 Revlon Primer That's A Perfect Dupe For An $85 Luxury Brand
This week, Kelly makes a shocking discovery—the $17 Revlon Illuminance Glow Primer is practically identical to a high-end $85 primer she's been loving. It creates that perfect glowy-not-shimmery base without breaking the bank. Plus, Leigh introduces us to the cult-favorite Givenchy Prisme Libre powder that's back with a new formulation. At $108 it's definitely a splurge, but the mini version is just $58 and will last you ages. And we're spotlighting two incredible Australian small businesses: The Jojoba Company's new neck and décolletage concentrate that answers those frequent "What about my neck?" DMs, and Bangn Body's ergonomically designed body oil with its signature tropical scent. Don't miss our savey finds: the Milani baked powder blush that gives you that luxurious luminosity for just $21.99, and Kelly rediscovers the Chi Chi Super CC Cream after reading Erin's article—a beauty editor secret that costs half the price of similar products.
