Kelly's Biggest Beauty Claim of the Year & Leigh's Canadian Beauty Secrets

Every 30 seconds, someone buys a Lanolips 101 Ointment - here's how a sheep farm memory became a global beauty empire. This week on The Formula, founder Kirsten Carriol breaks down what it takes to build a brand that lasts in the age of viral trends. We're exploring how Kirsten's childhood memory of lanolin from her grandparents' sheep farm became the ultimate solution for chronically cracked lips - a problem the massive beauty industry kept getting wrong. She reveals why viral balms are often 'duds,' the crucial distinction between creating a product for Instagram "aesthetic" versus one that actually works, and how a long-haul flight moment led her to launch a brand that counts Lindsay Lohan and Gigi Hadid among its fans. If you've ever been frustrated by lip balms that promise the world but deliver absolutely nothing, this episode is for you!

She's witnessed the biggest shift in beauty media history - from magazines dictating trends to 10-year-olds demanding retinol. This week on The Formula, former Elle Australia Editor-in-Chief Justine Cullen breaks down the "Sephora tween" phenomenon reshaping the beauty industry. We're exploring how kids as young as 9 skip skincare basics for complex routines, why brands chase tweens with $60-100 products (pushing adults toward $250 lipsticks), and the rise of birthday parties at beauty stores. Justine reveals how the pandemic created mini skincare experts, why teenagers now say "do my skincare" when stressed, and her predictions for this youth-obsessed beauty world. Get ready for serious insights into how capitalism is targeting childhood - and what it means for beauty's future.

We've all been there - that midnight scroll that ends with a cart full of regret, or falling for a "bargain" that sits unworn with tags still on. This week, Tamara Holland and Lucinda Pikkat are taking over the pod while Leigh's away, diving deep into our biggest shopping mistakes and how to actually fix them. They're unpacking the psychology behind "consolation prize" shopping - you know, when you can't afford the designer piece you really want, so you end up buying cheaper versions that never quite hit the mark. Spoiler alert: you usually end up spending more money and feeling less satisfied! Plus, they're tackling the dangerous world of late-night shopping (we see you, 3am feeds and doom scrolling), buying fantasy pieces for lives we don't actually lead, and the trap of shopping for our "dream bodies" instead of the ones we have right now. EVERYTHING MENTIONED: Lucinda's Budget: Big W Print Scarf $9.00 Tam's Budget: Big W Women's Cropped Barrel Jeans - Snow White $30.00 Lucinda's Boujie: Deering The Good Day Jean $290.00 Tam's Boujie: Alias Mae Charlize $189.95 GET YOUR FASHION FIX: Watch us on Youtube this episode goes live at 8pm tonight!
