Youbies: we’re switching things up this week! Q&A will drop in your feed tomorrow (Tuesday).

Today we’re re-sharing this timely interview from OG You Beauty host Erin Docherty with dermatologist, Dr. Ryan DeCruz about what to do about the impact of the sun on our skin.

One of the most common questions we get this time of year is about sun damage and pigmentation, because even if you’re wearing your SPF every day (as you should), warm weather and enjoying your summer out and about can impact your skin.

We’re diving into the best ways to manage sun damage, dark spots, and redness, plus the best product recommendations. Enjoy!

Leigh Campbell is back alongside Kelly McCarren, and no biggie, but Leigh reckons she’s already found what will be the best product of 2026 (even though it’s only January!).

On today’s episode of Spendy Savey, Leigh and Kelly share their best skincare, makeup, hair, body and fragrance recommendations, including the new Charlotte Tilbury ‘flawless’ concealer, a product for lips losing their pigment with age, and the best blush Leigh’s tried in her 20 years as a beauty journalist.

Plus, Kelly’s sad to confirm the very expensive moisturiser MECCA employees swear by is indeed worth the price. And Leigh’s found a chemist-brand body moisturiser so good, her mum likes it better than the Brillo Body Butter - despite her daughter being the Brillo founder!

Could you go an entire year without buying a single piece of clothing, shoes, or accessories? For radio host Jess Farchione, the answer was yes – but it all started with a $550 dress she bought on impulse and then regretted.

After realising her spending habits were driven by boredom and dopamine hits rather than genuine need, Jess embarked on a strict "No Spend" challenge for all of 2025. In today's episode Leigh is finding out how that really went for her.

Jess's Budget: Quay Sunglasses

New year, new trends? It's New Years Eve and Lucinda and Chelsea are crystal ball-gazing into 2026 to predict the biggest fashion moments about to take over your wardrobe.

We’re breaking down the return of "ugly" fashion (hello, mismatched prints and dad sneakers), why Gen Z is officially cancelling matching activewear sets, and the unexpected "funnel neck" silhouette that’s about to replace your blazer.

Chelsea makes the case for the controversial return of fringe (yes, really) and Lucinda explains why "accessory addiction" is the new quiet luxury. Plus, we're getting into which trends have graduated from "emerging" to "commercial" – meaning they are actually worth your hard-earned cash.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED:

Chelsea's Boujie: Coach Suede Fringe Brooklyn Shoulder Bag 39 $950

Lucinda's Boujie: Next Nothing Ordinary Black Leather Funnel Neck Bomber Jacket $620

Chelsea's Budget: VRG GRL Sabrin Bubble Midi Skirt Cream $129

Lucinda's Budget: Summi Summi Sporty Shorty $179

From "clean beauty" fairy tales experts wish you’d forget to the marketing myths clogging your feed, today’s guest is stripping away the bullshit to reveal the cold, hard science of skin.

On this week's episode of The Formula, content creator and evidence-based advocate Sam [By The Counter] breaks down why reading an ingredient list is like trying to guess a cake recipe without the measurements, the truth about who actually pays for "cruelty-free" research, and why your favourite luxury products might actually be worth the splurge. Plus, Sam explains why fragrance isn't the enemy, the "moral superiority" trap in sustainable packaging, and the indie products he swears by for a perfect barrier.
