This week, Leigh and Kelly investigate the ice-cold world of TikTok facial dunking - does freezing your face actually work? The science is limited, but the temporary "snatched" effect might be worth it after a few vinos. Skip the full plunge and try their practical alternatives instead.

Plus, as Bella Hadid champions the return of the side part, Leigh and Kelly reveal which 2025 trends she's selectively ignoring. Kelly embraces mulberry tones this season, while Leigh focuses on skincare innovations rather than fleeting aesthetics.

Daddy are you I.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
Couldn't help, but wonder ask me anything you ask many questions.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
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 paws
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

(01:32):
work for perking up dull skin?

Speaker 1 (01:35):
One time you feel like I need it now to
wake up.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
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 2 (01:48):
And I was like, I go, like watching.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Them when it's mine? So that was my body. I
occasionally do I go to one of those like weird
wellness things. They're not weird, but it's weird for me
to go, because yeah, it's really for you to go.

Speaker 2 (01:59):
You just go because it's your friend. You're not a
wellness girlie.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
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 clinic call
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

(02:22):
twisted your ankle, 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. You got to fill it up
with water that's.

Speaker 3 (02:42):
See into the ice cubes's got to put the ice cubes,
and you've got to clean up your mess up towards Yes,
a lot, it's a lot.

Speaker 1 (02:48):
So basically using cold you know, cold water, cold devices
and tools which we'll talk about in a moment, can
help 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 going to kind of they're going to like
tighten up.

Speaker 2 (03:06):
And oh cold, Oh I'm chilly.

Speaker 1 (03:08):
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 (03:18):
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.

Speaker 1 (03:30):
Put of mine the lip. It happens to my own,
it happens to my whole face.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
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 1 (03:44):
Make It does, particularly if you puffy your 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 temperature, it's 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 my face with them. Sometimes I have glass balls.

(04:06):
Yeah you've got the glass one, the old glass balls.
Sheet mask and 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 to dunk
your whole face in ice.

Speaker 2 (04:20):
That's just no.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
There's this little devicey thing that came out a couple
of years ago called the Contour Cube.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
It was an Australian lady startup.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I don't know if it was trademarked or whatnot, but
I'm just going to talk about them because they are
the original as far as i'm aware.

Speaker 2 (04:38):
Where.

Speaker 3 (04:38):
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 1 (04:45):
Shade with water.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
Sorry, yeah, a kid's diy ice block, but it's just
water exactly. And then it's in like this dome shape
and then you hold the silicon thing so it's not
going to freeze your hand and you just sort of
massage your face with them. 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,

(05:06):
I don't know if it was trademarked or an original idea.
There is a bunch that have come out since from
you know, can I.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
Mean you could literally just get one of those plastic
molds that kids use and put a stick in it,
like use them.

Speaker 2 (05:17):
You totally could do that. You totally could do that.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
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 of FOY. 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 it happens sometimes by accident. Yeah,

(05:41):
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 2 (05:46):
And it definitely snatches you short term exactly.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
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 2 (06:00):
So Marty has slid into our DMS.

Speaker 3 (06:03):
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 Bellahead
did is bringing back the side part lease notes.

Speaker 2 (06:14):
So simply I am tapping out of trends.

Speaker 1 (06:16):
I have a bit of a rant. I don't know
if yes, I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
I love it when you do it.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
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

(06:44):
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

(07:06):
same look anyway. I like observing them, but I don't
fell 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 friend. 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,

(07:29):
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 take Tammy 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

(07:53):
the trends I'm into. But the way I wear my
hair often depends on how dirty it is and your makeup.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Do you make it sense?

Speaker 1 (08:01):
But like your outfits, Yeah, no, I'm not doing it.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
I'm the same.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
I wear my hair and makeup the way that I want.
I will say that we trends with makeup. It's more
like it might remind me or like, oh, I'm gonna
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 to then play

(08:26):
around for 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 it up a lot more and.

Speaker 1 (08:40):
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 mail colors and blushes and lipsticks. But
if it doesn't suit someone or they don't want to,
they don't have to.

Speaker 3 (08:53):
I think it actually that's one color that will suit
everyone because they don't. Really, because I've got such dark
hair and line eyes, I look too vampy. If I
try and do a lip it looks like I'm trying
to like maybe eyes number.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I know, I'd look like I had a nine position.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Oh you would not.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
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 trend.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
It's all the same thing.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
It's all exactly the same thing, just that really fresh
look that is really in at the moment. This is
all about very flattering for most people 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

(09:39):
high bun.

Speaker 1 (09:40):
Oh my god, it's in. It's not what do you mean.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I do do it sometimes, but no one ever does
do it, so it doesn't ever look like it's a trend.

Speaker 2 (09:49):
I just look unhinged.

Speaker 1 (09:50):
No, you don't care it. You look great. And like
when I cut my hair into a bob and then
everyone was like, oh, the bob's treading, 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 good.

Speaker 3 (10:07):
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 1 (10:16):
Okay, well I'll do it with my half up, half
down mullet because I've got no and.

Speaker 2 (10:19):
Then strange little peep brush at the top.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
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 (10:30):
It's artistic, you know, like boho anyway, Ubis, we'd love
to hear what trends you are into.

Speaker 2 (10:36):
Or that you just ignore.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
I just don't even care. That's not in fashion. Great
while I'm doing it anyway.

Speaker 1 (10:42):
Yeah, like tubular mascari. Is that a trend? No, I
think it's an advancement. I'm here for it.

Speaker 2 (10:46):
Agree.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
After the break, host Tack host Haack, and mine was
thieved from my sister's wedding makeup artist.

Speaker 2 (10:59):
What a hack? You makeup hacks?

Speaker 1 (11:03):
All right, we have to go first. Did your sister
just get married?

Speaker 3 (11:06):
No, she got married years and years ago.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Like, are you just watching the video or something? No?

Speaker 3 (11:11):
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. She was lovely, 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.

Speaker 1 (11:29):
Her name's ten Vo.

Speaker 3 (11:30):
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 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

(11:52):
sort of like crusty and flaky. Really now exactly, so
she's you know, say she's used Giorgio Armani luminous silk
or Este Lauda doubleware and it's on there and then
she's like, ah, I got like this real dry, crusty bit.
What she does 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,

(12:17):
she uses the makeup like the makeup brush that already
had the product on it, like the foundations, to blend
it back into this abdab dab a little bit genius.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
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

(12:47):
gently flick away. But on the moisturizer, yes, just try
and use tweezers to pull the flaky bits off. Actually
you know I have done that before too, But then
you've got like a bit of a scabbunt. Yeah you go,
so thank you tan. 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

(13:09):
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. And I was using a new liquid
eye liner 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 text then feltpen than
what I'm used to, and I was like, oh boy,

(13:31):
I had nothing else rats, and so I used a
Q tip and my cellar water, which I often do,
and I just 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

(13:51):
lashes look really dark.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
It looked really good.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
So now when i've kind of been doing off duty,
just going you know, to a meeting or whatever, I'll
do misscar and then really messy liquid liner and then
I just go clean 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 it's almost like
reverse tide lining, but not on the underside. Yes, exactly.

(14:16):
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.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
I love that it's very lived in as well.

Speaker 1 (14:28):
Yes, exactly. It's like does she just have most beautiful lashes. Ever,
that's what she looks like all the time. Yeah, yeah,
she had fine a rock star and forgot to mak
Yeah anyway, No, I'm just a tired mum. The test
products and then to take it off. On that note,
