Speaker 1 (00:10):
You're listening to a MoMA Mia podcast. Mamma Mia acknowledges
the traditional owners of land and waters that this podcast
is recorded on Makeup is my therapy in love. I'm
obsessed and I don't even feel guilty about it.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Hello, and welcome to you, beauty Mamma MIA's podcast for
Your Face.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
I am Kelly McCarran. I am Lee Campbell. It is
Spendy Savy Day.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
It is time to share our favorite products of the week.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
It's our favorite time. You were telling me you've got
a wedding this weekend. Are you going to use any
of your products? I am.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
I am going to recommend a fragrance. I promise I
won't douse myself in it, but I will be spritzing.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
And I guarantee you I'm going to get lots of compliments.
Have to mail, you'll have to report back. So if
you're near here, Fridays is when we talk about things.
We've used, things we've emptied, things we love, things that
are expensive, things that are affordable, and something that might
be brand new. So Kelly, what else? Start with? Well,
why don't I tell you about this perfume, Spendy Baby,
Spandy very spendy. So it is the Chloe Atlier floor immortel.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Oh my word, it is absolutely beautiful.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I wasn't sure if I.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Would love it because in Hotel, I know as the
ingredient that's in a lot of the Loxitan products.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And which is that yellow flower that can withstand anywhether
from corsica in Greece.
Speaker 2 (01:37):
And it doesn't fade or die, which is why they
use the essential oils for their anti aging products. But
I wouldn't say that the fragrance of an immortel is
something that I'm always like, oh, I must douse myself
with that.
Speaker 1 (01:49):
I don't really know what it would smell.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
It's quite a strong smell, really, but this is beautiful.
It's simple and it's really elegant. So the top notes
have citron and Bergermont in it. It's fresh, and then
the middle notes are the immortel. But then it's got
the tuberos and jasmine. Oh hello, so it's those white
flower was mixed with the motel. So it's just very unique.
Speaker 1 (02:12):
I think we need to move in together and share,
for we do. We love jasmine, that whole family exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:19):
And then the bottom notes are Santel vanilla and Tonka,
but they're very underpowering.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, yeah, like not tom Ford's strength.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Right, it is not a tom Ford's strength. However, it
is a really good quality perfume. So you put it
on in the morning and you will still be getting
compliments in the arch.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
And what's Chloe's price points like these days I forget.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
Well, this one has been formulated by an actual nose.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
So if you get the nose for people that don't
know and.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Knows, there aren't that many in the world. And they're
basically these little magicians.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
That are they're humans. They're humans.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
When I think of them, I actually think of them
as almost witchcraft like they come from a magical land
where they do have a very special nose and they
formulate some of the biggest and best products of fragrances
in the world.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
To be a qualified nose, you can't eat chili like
there's so much. You can't drink coffee, you.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
Can't do all of these things to affect your sense
of smell. Generally know from quite a young age if
they have this particular skill. Yes, so this one is
a little bit more expensive than usual. Generally, Chloe perfumes
are kind of just your average.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Like one fifty one thirty.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
I thought generally this one is two thirty for a
fifty mil So it's definitely a luxury.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Product, isn't it ADP Yes, okay, so beautiful gift. What
is your spending?
Speaker 2 (03:37):
Okay?
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So my spending is a hair straightener. So, in case
you missed it a year ago, I cut my hair off.
This last trim is the shortest I've ever been, is it. Yeah,
I'm like a Lego. Do I look like a Lego? No?
You look sheep. It's right under my ears. So I
love my straighteners, and I don't recommend getting a brand
new straightener every five seconds, but I've always just had
a classic hair straightener. Yes, So I got the GHD
(03:59):
Mini hair Straightener. It's kind of new. It launched a
few months ago, and the reason I was into it
is because I have their travel straight now, which is
again smaller, yeah, portable, hordless, and you just charge it
and then you can take it in the car. You
can take it on a holiday. But I always forget
to charge it. So this is a skinny GHD but
you plug it in like a traditional one. It's three
hundred and ten dollars which in my mind is outrageous
(04:22):
because I went, oh, that's good. But when you're thinking
of all the you know, the Dysons and the Shark
and the Cloud nine and other ghds, some of those
packs are five hundred dollars whatever. Anyway, it's three hundred
and ten dollars. Nice.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
Interesting that it's not that much cheaper than a traditional
I would have just assumed it was. Yeah, when I
say many technology, it's.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
The same size. It's just the plates that are skinny.
So if you've got fine hair, if you want to create,
you know, a really tight curl, if you've only got
a bit of working space like me now, like I've
gone from how having miles of centimeters to what ten
fifteen centimeters because I don't do a curl, I just
do a kink and away even try and get that
editorial thing. And so the plates are thinner, so you've
(05:00):
got more kind of control.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yes, there are almost two thirds of a traditional plate.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Yeah, yeah, exactly, so good. It's relatively new from DHG.
Not that new, it's new to me. What's your savy?
Speaker 2 (05:11):
My saving was inspired by my sister because I realized
I hadn't talked about rollers before like just the Velcrow
rollers because she got a fringe. And she has very
very unfortunately you think my hair's out of control.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
Her hair.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
She has the thickest blonde hair you have ever seen
in your life.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Why she got a fringe, I don't know why. I mean,
beautiful looking, but maintenance. Well, and she's very low maintenance
with beauty.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Like she's the sort of girl that comes over and
uses ten different products from my skin chedra and I'm like, Emma.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
You just used five five. Yeah, you're burning your skin
off her. I'm glad she got such a high maintenance. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
Same anyway, So she said something to me, oh, I'm
going to order some rollers online, and I was like.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Oh my god, don't do that, because she showed.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
Me what once and there was some fancy brand but
they were just Velcrow rollers, and she was going to
spend fifty bucks. No, you can get the Velcrow rollers,
the everyday rollers you can get them from came up
for six dollars.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Oh yeah, so good. So the different sizes, they've.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Got the different sizes in there, so I think I
got like eighteen in my packet, all different sizes.
Speaker 1 (06:16):
They came with the clips, Oh.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Great, and I mean you don't even need eighteen. You
just need a couple because for your fringe at the
top of your.
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Hair, like, yeah, the front flicks if you want to do.
Speaker 2 (06:25):
That, or even what I do if I've done my
hair is I'll just blow dry the front and then
I'll roll it back and just clip it in for
half an hour or so, just so it looks like
I've then done.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
My hair, yes, and then I let it out and
you've got like nice way it looks like a blow drive. Yeah,
it does. And it's good to do that and then
jump in the car and drive to wherever you're going
and then whip it out when you get there.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Okay, Now tell me about your savor, because I've seen
it all over my socials and I'm fascinated.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
Okay. So it's a product by the ordinary. It's called
the Saccara mice is ferment thirty percent milky tona. So
Sakara mices is not only a very hard word to say,
it's a type of fungi. Oh yes, So I'm obsessed
with Tona's miss essences. We're in the middle of winter,
so it's a really great to just kind of add
extra hydration or whatever, and then it helps carry your
(07:13):
serums deeper into your skin. In summer, I have to
be really juicy about how much skincare I lay it
because I get greasy and oily. It's not very fortunate
for you. Really well no, I mean, I think my
oiliness will make me look younger when I'm old, but
I just can't. Yeah, I can't play with as much
skincare anyway. It's a milky tone. It's really beautiful. It's
gently exoliating, but it feels so nourishing and like milky.
(07:36):
Well yeah, milky kind of like it's not sticky, it's
not sky. The texture is practically water like would you
say milk.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Well, it's very clo it's in essence that's like that
little bit thicker than water.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
It is so beautiful. It will help your uneven skin tone, hydration, brightening,
and whitening. So when I say it's mildly exfoliating, key,
there is mildly. You'd put it on first, raft on
dry skin morning and all night, and then you put
me skincare on top, and it just kind of anyway,
it's great. It's twenty four dollars. Honestly, I just think
for the price the beautiful products you get from the ordinary.
(08:09):
It's one hundred mil for a long time. Yes, So
if you do want to add a tona essence type
vibes onto dry skin before everything else, may I recommend
this one a newbie? So anything else it's new, all right,
(08:30):
your newbie please.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
My newbie is by our friends, and I say our friends,
but only because they cleaned up in the New Beauty
Awards as me skin Minerals. It is their new peptide
firming cream mask.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Oh I need that, so oh you do.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
Everyone who is suffering through winter skin needs this product.
It is seventy dollars. You need a little bit though,
so I think it'll last me a fair while. I've
had it for about three weeks and it's one of
those cream masks that.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
You notice it straight away. Because it's a mask. You're
not doing it every day.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
No, you do it once or twice a week. You
can sleep in it. You could use it for slugging.
It is full of a couple of ra radiance I
can't pronounce. It has a probiotic berry antioxidant complex in it,
so it's got a bunch of like delicious cranberries.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Blueberries. All of those ferries are really high antioxidant and
also to ply topically.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
So it's really good for promoting collagen in your skin,
and it's very hydrating and nourishing.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
So it's just kind of like one of those perfect
masks for winter. It almost feels like a smoothie for
your face, like goodness, yes, yeah, anyway, it just feels
really lovely and my skin always looks so much better.
So you put it on for twenty minutes and tissue
off or de sleep.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
How I've been sleeping in it, although you totally could,
and you know what, I might actually try next time
I'm doing fancy makeup and maker do it.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
Oh no, I would tissue it off. Yeah, tissue it off,
But then do you because it's plumping. It's so plumping,
and your skin just looks juicier. Yeahs towards and you're
so like yeah, you're like, yeah, it's pepped mine need be.
I went to the launch a little while ago now,
and I have to talk about it because I've been
doing this for twenty years and I don't think another
(10:11):
product like this exists and that doesn't happen that often. Wow,
it's my Bioderma. It's an aha dry body oil, so
an exfoliating body oil. Have you ever heard of anything
like this?
Speaker 2 (10:23):
I don't think so, now I'm desperate to get my
mits on that.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Well, I went to Google. So it's called the bioderm
Atoderm two in one dry body oil. So if you
know the atoderm range, it's got that big, beautiful Lita
shower oil delicious, great for the whole family, and the
moisturiz are so it joined that family. So it's doing
like two things at once. It's a very very very
gentle aha est that's in there, and then it's a
(10:48):
dry body oil, so it's munching away at those dead
skin cells and that flakiness and grossness. But then the
dry oil is doing the hydration. Keep in mind it's
a dry oil, so it's not that body oil you
put on before bed or put in the bar. If
you're like you're slipping in nouf, you literally need three
to four drops per limb. Yep, you could wait a
bit and get dressed and go out, like go put
(11:09):
your clothes on and live your life. It's super nourishing, hydrating.
It's great for the skin barrier. It says it's suitable
for babies, teens, and adults. I wouldn't use it on
a newborn. No. The only downside is if you're in
a regular tanning routine, it would eat away of the year.
But it's winter. Who's really winter? And however, if you're
using a regular bodily oil, that will lift off your
tank anyway. So it does say it's suitable for exma
(11:30):
prone skin as well, so it's that mild you just
feel new. The retail prices expensive, well, sort of fifty
four ninety nine. I'm looking on chemist to a house
who have got it exclusively. At the moment it's eight
dollars off. But because it's one hundred and fifty meal
and you literally need a couple of jobs, it's gonna
last you ages, oh really long time. And also I
wouldn't use this every day, yep, because sometimes in winter
(11:53):
I just fake tan my arms in my chest. I reckon,
that's just smart. That's a hack shut mustache. Did you
shop your stash? I did.
Speaker 2 (12:03):
I've had the air wrap since the start of the year,
and I've been the biggest fan. I've recently been reaching four.
The brush handle, that's my favorite part.
Speaker 1 (12:12):
Of it.
Speaker 2 (12:12):
When you buy a dice in these days, you get
six different.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Heads, yes heads, what are they called? Attached matchments. It
has actually revolutionized the way that I drum hate. You
know that I'm not a blow dry girl. You're lazy. Yeah,
I'm very lazy, but I have a lot of hair.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Takes five minutes to dry my hair, and I just
brush it. I don't have to lift my arms up.
I'm just brushing my hairlarm scrolling on my phone. It's
very quiet, it doesn't get too hot. I'm just so
obsessed with it. If you don't have all of the
air wrap attachments, you can get like an upgrade multi
styler attachment pack.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
Oh my gosh, I did not know. That's so clever.
So if you've got the base, you can get the
extra bit.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
So these ones have the re engineered attachments that use
powerful enhanced colan to air flow for increased control.
Speaker 1 (13:01):
It gets hot enough to dry your hair, but it's
using the air as hot as a traditional hair dryer
or straight Now it's just.
Speaker 2 (13:08):
So good for at home use. And you can also
get for longer or shorter hair attachments, depending on what
length your hair is. So it's two hundred and forty
nine dollars, which is obviously very expensive, but good if
you've already got the original base thing and you obviously.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
Don't want to buy a whole new thing. My shot
my stash is something I purchased five months ago. Let's
say I bought it, put it somewhere only just forgot
ab I've ever used it. I purchased the travel size
of the Makeup Forever, a HD hydroglow foundation. Kelly. When
(13:47):
I say this foundation is you in a bottle, you
must leave the studio immediately and buy where did you
purchase this? I bought it on a door beauty and
I guessed my shade and I'm wearing it today and look, listen,
I'm a combo girl. It's a little bit not too glowy,
but I have to map down my t zone. But
in winter it is the glowy face you want. The
twelve mild travel size is thirty two dollars. Obviously you
(14:09):
can buy a big bottle, but I recommend this if
there's often a small size of something you've never used
by the small first. Makeup Forever actually has different variants
of this one, like there's one for modifying, but this
is the hydrating one. I'm gonna give you mine. I'm
shade one and one four. It is just I love
so hydrating, so juicy. If you're combo or oily, use
(14:31):
more of a modifying sunscreen underneath hydrating plumping. I'd say
medium coverage.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah, it's almost like a Tint two foundation in the
like totally buildable, though, totally buildable.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Like skincare finishing that you don't like. It doesn't need
much blending. So I'm so glad. I shopped my own
stash and purchased that all that time. Ago, did you
finish anything? I did?
Speaker 2 (14:52):
I finished nappy rush cream before I had a baby.
My bestie who's nurse, was like, chuck out the pseudo cream.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
The will later nappy rush cream is way better. So
is that an empty on behalf of your son?
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, it's not an empty on behalf of lennis us.
It is an empty on behalf of my nostrils.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
Oh yeah, every year every I don't even have a
coal y same. My nose just run.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
It just drips like a little dap and the skin
understuts peeling nappy rush cram under the snout. I promise
you it will change your life. You can slug all
you want. You can use all of these other products.
Of course, some of them do a good job. This
makes your skin new again when it's crusty over No
(15:36):
seventeen ninety five full price for seventy five meals. Once
a year, I would say, I go through one of
these also for ler new's bottom.
Speaker 1 (15:42):
What about you? Okay? Am I empty? I don't know
how to not be hyperbolic about this product. It changed
my life. And it is fourteen dollars for the big
size or three dollars and forty five cents for the
small size. So little old Shopoholic, Lee and Slash, very
good investative give journalists. I do a lot of orders
from random website. Everyone knows how much I love my
(16:04):
I herb waters. Actually need to write a new article
with my updated linkage. Yeah, So I just go on
and I search either new in or top rated or
best selling or whatever. And I did order over Christmas,
and that's when I first bought this. It's the De
la Cruz Vitamin E cream. So you get one hundred
and fourteen grams for fourteen dollars and four cents. It's
(16:25):
not an anti aging moisturizer in of itself, and that
it's active. It's just a beautiful, rich humactant. Pop on
on at the end. When I use this at night
as my last step, Nothing else has ever made my
skin feel that soft. The reason I mentioned I finished
that and I've got a little bit of travel coming up,
so i just bought the little three dollars and forty
(16:46):
five cent one because chuck that in your bag, wait
for flying. You could use it on kids. A lot
of it's hit and miss when I get stuff from
my herb and I'm like, I buy snacks up, buy
everything on there. This is just the most beautiful cream
and it's so affordable. So what I've been doing is
a hydrating cerreumt night on my decolotage and then slugging
my chest because I get those real decagration lines and
sometimes I want to trial or use my fancy stuff
(17:07):
on my face. Yep. But this is honestly the most beautiful,
rich moisturizer. But just make sure you're layering hydration under
it because it's a humactant. Thank you for listening today.
