Dad are you?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
I couldn't help, but wonder asked me anything you ask
any questions.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Later on in the episode, we have got a question
about beauty trends, but first Laney has sent us an
email high Land Kel everyone's dunking their faces in ice
water on TikTok to fix tired skin and shrink pause
before makeup. Is there any actual science to this chili
trend or is it just another beauty myth? Have either
of you braved the cold plunge and does it really
(01:48):
work for perking up dull skin?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
H One time you feel like I need it now
to wake up.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
One time you posted doing a cold plunge on your
body and then I was like, oh haha. And then
the next thing I scrolled to was a meme where
someone was like would people stop posting their cold plunges?
Speaker 1 (02:03):
And I was like, I go like watching.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
Them when it's mine? So that was my body? I usionally,
do I go to one of those like weird wellness things,
They're not weird? But it's weird for me to go
because it's for you to go.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
You just go because it's your friend. You're not a
wellness girlie.
Speaker 2 (02:17):
And I swear a lot I do feel good after anyway,
that's on your body for your face. Okay, So you
ask about the science. There's actually no clinical research as
to the results because we're busy doing more important as
they're not trying to look into if ice makes you
look better? Yeah, but anecdotally and when you think about it,
it does make some sense. So you've twisted your ankle,
(02:39):
you put ice on it because that's going to reduce inflammation.
So if you're puffy, it will help. When we're talking
about the TikTok trend, I believe it's a whole sort
of big bowl of icy water and dunking your whole
head in. I don't think you need to go that far.
I mean, go for it if you want to a
lot of effort, a lot of effort, get the bowl.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
You got to fill it up with water, that's seeing it,
the ice cubes's got to put the ice cubes, and
you've got to clean up your mess up.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Y's a lot. It's a lot. So basically using cold
you know cold water, cold devices and tools, which we'll
talk about in a moment. And hell, because it restricts
the blood flow, so it temporarily reduces the appearance of pause.
That's really important to know, temporary and appearance, because you
can't actually shrink your pause, so it's gonna kind of
they're gonna like tighten up.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
And oh cold, Oh I'm chilly.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
Yes, for a little bit. It can promote sort of
blood flow, and well, it restricts the blood flow, which
kind of makes your face look fresh snatched.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Yeah, Like it tightens everything up. And I if I
drink too much wine or have too much salt, will
wake up so puffy. My sister asked me once if
I had lip injections. I was just so puffy of
mine the lip. It happens to my eye.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It happens to my whole face.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So I think that by using that ice just to
really constrict and then snatch everything back up visually. No
matter what the science well does or doesn't say, it
definitely does.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
It does, particularly if you puffy, r swollen. But otherwise
if it's just you know, your normal face and you're
expecting a miracle, it's not gonna happen as soon as
your skin warms back up to room temperatures, just going
to go back to normal. I have I got the
one Amazon or link in the show notes. They're like
little metal balls with a handle, and I keep them
in the fridge even though they're stainless steel, so they're
quite cold out of the fridge, and I just massage
(04:20):
my face with them. Sometimes have glass balls. Yeah, you've
got the glass one old glass balls, sheet mask and
the fridge is great. Face missed in summer, so cool
stuff on your face is good. You'll see a lot
of sort of ice creams have like a cooling applicator.
But I don't reckon you've got a dunk your whole
face in ice. That's just no.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
There's this little devisy thing that came out a couple
of years ago called the Contour Cube.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It was an Australian lady startup.
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I don't know if it was trademarked or what not,
but I'm just going to talk about them because they
are the original as far as I'm aware.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Where.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
It's like this little silicone thing that you fill up
with ice, put the lid on and then put it
in the fridge and it's kind of dome.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Shade with water.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
Sorry a kid's diy ice block, but it's just water exactly.
And then it's in like this dome shape and then
you all the silicon things so it's not going to
freeze your hand and you just sort of massage your
face with it. Yes, and that is really really good
if you're trying to use ice rather than just something
really cold that was in the fridge. Then there's a
bunch that have come out. Like I said, I don't
(05:22):
know if it was trademarked or an original idea, there
is a bunch that have come out since from you know.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Can I mean you could literally just get one of
those plastic molds that kids use and put a stick
in it, like use them.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
You totally could do that. You totally could do that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
I've used a cold gasher. I mean, I know that's
not ice, but cold nurse does kind of have some benefits.
I've had a chemical burn and or a reaction to
some products before. I wouldn't use ice because you don't
use ice on burns, but really cold water has definitely helped. Yeah,
because it's inflamed post sun exposure. Not that we do that, but.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
It happens sometimes by accident.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Yeah, I wouldn't bother dunking your whole head in, but
if you want to get some cool stuff on your face,
it does feel nice.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
And it definitely snatches you short term exactly.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Coming up after the break a question from a Ubie
who wants to know exactly what beauty trends we're here
for this year.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
So Marty has slid into our DMS.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
Hey girls, what are some beauty trends you're here for
in twenty twenty five. I am all about that powder
blush being back in again, and I also saw bellaheadd
is bringing back the side part lease notes.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
So simply I am tapping out of trends.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
I have a bit of a rant. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
Yes, I'm excited. I love it when you do it.
Speaker 2 (06:37):
I don't know if it's a rant or just I've
been doing this for too long. Actually, you know what,
it's social media. It's TikTok. I'm blaming TikTok and maybe
because I'm forty three, But trends are interesting to note. Look,
I like trends in terms of ingredient trends. You know,
we're seeing peptibals or peppy time tides everywhere growth factors.
I love those sort of skincare trends or trends in
(07:00):
research and science, yes, and advancements in formulation, but they're
not really trends. I think our Lovely Friend here, you know,
referencing the side part and powder blush. I don't really
personally care if my part's not the cool part, or
I'm using a cream blush and everyone's using powder or whatever.
I think. Mostly when it comes to makeup, I just
wear what I want. I've always pretty much worn the
(07:22):
same look anyway. I like observing them, but I don't
feel like I don't ever want the ubis to feel
like they can't wear their hair a certain way or
a certain style of makeup or nail color just because
it's not quote unquote trend. Yeah, exactly comes down to
you know, the sock we were talking because I'm wearing
long socks and legas. I'd never wear long socks, and
I was like, I just like it because of my ankles. Yeah, exactly. Look,
(07:45):
one trend I'll never get back into because I did
it at fifteen was basically waxing all of my eyebrows
because I wanted to tack Sammy Anderson. So there's some
things I won't do. But I don't go, oh, okay,
I'm doing this trend and I'm not. I'm just like
this texture suits my skin type, so I'm I'm I'm
not doing it like I'm just not unless it's an
advancement in technology ingredients, you know, devices or whatever. That's
(08:09):
the trends I into. But the way I wear my
hair often depends on how dirty it is and your
makeup or do you make it send but like your outfits, Yeah, no,
I'm not doing it.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
I'm the same.
Speaker 3 (08:20):
I wear my hair and makeup the way that I want.
I will say that with trends with makeup, it's more
like it might remind me or like, oh, I'm going
to try pink again. I love pink, and maybe I
just haven't done it for a while because I forgot
about it. So it's more so that I'll if I
see something that I like, I'll be encouraged to try
it again. True, it's a nice reminder and it's fun
(08:41):
to then play around if you like playing with makeup
like I do. So I'm very, very in love with
the Mulberry plum shade. It's trending at the moment with makeup.
It's not the first time I've ever worn it, but
it was kind of like I'm probably amping.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
It up a lot more.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
And there's more options to buy because it is in,
you know, the zeitgeist. It's a trend for this Zach winter.
So there's way more nail colors and blushes and lipsticks.
But if it doesn't suit someone or they don't want to,
they don't have to.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I think it actually that's one color that will suit everything.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
They don't really because I've got such dark hair and
line eyes, I'll too vampy if I try and do
a lip it looks like I'm trying to like.
Speaker 1 (09:16):
Maybe my eyes.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
No, I'd look like I had you would not. So
I think that it's really fun with makeup. But I
also think it's just a lot of them are just
branded differently. But it's exactly clean girl makeup. It was
Strawberry Trened, It's all the same thing. It's all exactly
the same thing, just that really fresh look that is
really in at the moment.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
And it's all very flattering for most people.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Skin minimalism, and you know what, I was thinking, though,
one trend that isn't in that I love, not really trend,
just like something that I wish was in is like
a messy high bun.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
Oh my god, it's in.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
No, it's not.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
What do you I do do it sometimes, but no
one ever does do it, so it doesn't ever look
like it's a trend.
Speaker 1 (10:05):
I just look unhinged.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
No, you don't care her, you look great. And like
when I cut my hair into bob and then everyone
was like, oh, the Bob's trending, not because I cut it.
I just happened to cut it when everyone was doing it.
Then I was growing my hair again, and then I
decided to cut it again and there was some sort
of comment or I thought, oh, but it's not on
trend anymore. I don't give a shit.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Good Yeah, no, I just think that if more people
did the high messy bun, it would be like, oh, yeah,
she's sporting it. But because no one else does, I
just look unhinged.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
Okay, well I'll do it with my half up, half
down mullet because I've got no hair and a strange
little people brush at the top.
Speaker 3 (10:37):
But that's the one that I don't do, even though
I really love it because I think that it looks
quite messy. Maybe you need to get better at doing it,
but the vibe is that it's messy.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
It's like artistic, you know, like boho.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Anyway, you beias. We'd love to hear what trends you
are into or that you just ignore.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
I just don't even care. That's not in fashion. Great
while I'm doing it anyway.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, like tubular mascari. Is that a trend? No, I
think it's an advancement. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Agree.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
After the break host Tack host Haack, and mine was
thieved from my sister's wedding makeup artist.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
What a hack? You makeup hacks? All right, we have
to go first. Did your sister just get married?
Speaker 1 (11:21):
No, she got married years and years ago, Like.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Were you just watching the video or something? No?
Speaker 3 (11:27):
So wow, yeah, that does not make any sense how
I set that up? But I met my sister's makeup
artist so long ago and then just suggested, like I
met her on a shoot.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
She was lovely.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
And then my sister was looking for a makeup and
hair artists for a wedding and I suggested her. So
that's how it came up. So I still follow her
on social media teno. She's incredible. Anyway, I was on
Instagram the other day and just found a hack, so
I'm thieving it from her because I just thought it
was so interesting. She said that when she's doing foundation
on a model skin, and I assume, because she's a
(11:59):
makeup artist doing shoot makeup, that she's using full coverage. Yes,
because it also wouldn't really happen with a skin tint.
You know, when you get those dry spots on your
skin and it goes sort of like crusty and really
now in winter exactly, So she's you know, say she's
used Georgia Rmoney luminous silk or Esteluda doubleware and it's
on there and then she's like, ah, I've got like
(12:19):
this real dry, crusty bit. What she does is she
puts a little bit of moisturizer on that area. Then
she'll use a clean spoolly to gently buff off the
dry bits. Then once they're all off, she uses the
makeup like the makeup brush that already had the product
on it, like the foundations, to blend it back into
(12:40):
this addab dub a little bit genius.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I need that for around my nose in cold, Yes,
because your cold's gone, but you've wiped your nose so
many times. Side note, I'm going to invent better tissues,
even the alavia tissues. I'm sorry when if you sixty
five in one hour burn it is a sandpaper. But
then you're all heeled and you're better. But you do
you do make up. It's crusty, yes, even if you
use glowy stuff exactly, it's fully to just sort of.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Gently flick away. But on the moisturizer, yes, and.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
Use tweezers to pull flaky bits of Actually you know
I have done that before too, but then you've got
like a bit of a scabbunt. Yeah go, so thank
you ten. Okay, Well, mine's something I discovered by accidents.
So Kelly and I often test a lot of products,
and I, you know, sometimes test them whenever I'm going somewhere,
but sometimes if I'm working from home, I'll test a
bunch of products throughout the day just for texture longevity.
(13:31):
And I was using a new liquid eyeliner which I
actually ended up really liking, but it was application error
for me. I just had put way too much and
I couldn't get the lines right. It was quite like
a fatter texter then feltpen the what I'm used to,
and I was like, oh boy, I had nothing else.
Ah rats, And so I used a Q tip and
my cellar water, which I often do, and I just
(13:52):
sort of ran it over the liner to try and
reduce the line, and then i'd pretty much sort of
almost all taken it off. And then, you know, a
little while later, I looked in the mirror and I
was like, oh, like, I had nothing on my face,
but it looked like you know when you get your
lashes tinted and the roots of your lashes look really dark. Yeah,
it looked really good. So now when i've kind of
been doing off duty, just going you know, to a
(14:13):
meeting or whatever, I'll do misscar and then really messy
liquid liner and then I just go clean it up. Yeah,
and it kind of just looks like juicy root lashes
with like it not you can't even tell that it
was really there, just thick. It's really good. Oh. I
love that.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
It's almost like reverse tie lining, but not on the
underside exactly.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Because I was looking in the mirror, I had nothing
else in my face, going, why do my eyes look
so defined? I was like, oh was that liner that
I removed terribly and now that's my new pack. I
love that. It's very lived in as well, it's very real,
Yes exactly. It's like, does she just have most beautiful
lashes ever?
Speaker 1 (14:48):
That's just what she looks like all the time. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Yeah, she had a rock star and forgot to baker.
Yeah anyway, No, I'm just a tired mum that test
products and.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
Then start to take it off.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
