This week, Kelly makes a shocking discovery—the $17 Revlon Illuminance Glow Primer is practically identical to a high-end $85 primer she's been loving. It creates that perfect glowy-not-shimmery base without breaking the bank.
Plus, Leigh introduces us to the cult-favorite Givenchy Prisme Libre powder that's back with a new formulation. At $108 it's definitely a splurge, but the mini version is just $58 and will last you ages.
And we're spotlighting two incredible Australian small businesses: The Jojoba Company's new neck and décolletage concentrate that answers those frequent "What about my neck?" DMs, and Bangn Body's ergonomically designed body oil with its signature tropical scent.
Don't miss our savey finds: the Milani baked powder blush that gives you that luxurious luminosity for just $21.99, and Kelly rediscovers the Chi Chi Super CC Cream after reading Erin's article—a beauty editor secret that costs half the price of similar products.

just love it. And we call it a shop my.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Stash, spendy Baby, spandy Bay. So first up, let's start
with our savs.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Should I go, please remember how I'm on the Blush train,
doesn't any I remember Chew chew, So if you are
not across. I never really wore blush until the last
six months, and now I am Blush City.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
She's basically the steam train's captain. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I am the Blush controller train all aboard, and I've
only been using creams of liquids because i am forty three,
but now I'm progressing to powders. It is the Milani
baked powder blush. There's a bunch of shades. My shade
is Bury and Moore. I think you've been playing with
these two. You probably like the darker colors.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh, they're just beautiful. I mean the baked blushes have
been kind of like a bit of an underdog. They
will see really big, that's like they are own cult product.
But then there've been a bit of an Underdog.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They're incredible and also a lot of very expensive brands
do great ones. This reminds me of a very very
very expensive.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Does it rhyme with flour glass?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, they're twenty one ninety nine. Let me tell you
how many shades there are before I tell you about
my favorite. Oh, there's a lot of shades one, two, three, four, five,
six seven. This is shade three very more. It's like
a pinky goldie. It's a neody peach color with gold
flex in it. That's what she said, and it is
(02:49):
just so delicious. I use my little buffing brush. I tap, tap, tap,
because I don't want any powder to like grab, particularly
because I'm probably putting it on liquid foundation. So you've
really got to let that set. This is my new
blush learning rules. I don't do the apples on my
cheeks anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I do higher up.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is to show yourself a blush face, like I'm
trying to show for the watches.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's so pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's so pretty, it looks so expensive. It's so luminous, buildable,
but also great for beginners like me to twenty one
ninety nine. It's at price line, so as if it's
not going to go on sale, but it is so
worth that much money.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think if you have a slightly older skin, thank
you so older than you know, say twenty five and mature,
then you actually do want not shimmer, but you want
to slight something in your paluminosity. Otherwise it just looks
a little bit too matt on your face.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Agreed, Like, I will still use a translucent which is
clear for my oily bits, but there's no way I
could use a matte blush. Yeah, it just would not
be a good time. What's your saving.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's a little bit of a backstory to this. So
a product that I was going to talk about this
week that was actually going to be my spendee was
a very expensive primer that I've been absolutely loving. Can
you tell me? It is between eighteen ninety dollars from memory,
So it was very expensive primer. But I just loved
the glow, I loved the finish. I love the way
(04:11):
it looked done to make up so much so I
was like, it's going to be my spendy anyway. I know,
I'm dying to know where this is going. A couple
of weeks ago, I got a delivery from Revlon and
a primer was in the delivery. Oh, they've got any primer.
And I looked at the packaging and then I put
it on the back of my hand and I thought, goodness, goodness, me,
that looks very similar to the primer that I've been
(04:31):
loving so much. And I put them next to each
other and they were effectively exactly the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So I'm reading the packaging while she plays so Revlon
Illuminance glow prim and nourish and go oh so this
joins our foundation and concealer and tinted moisturize A friend
in that family.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't actually know if they're all in the same family.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Albumnance, Yeah, it's illuminais Oh okay, I know that much.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's just so beautiful. You can always get it on
special Revlon generally at chemisware House price line somewhere. And
I thought, oh, my very word, the fact that this
is seventeen dollars compared to eighty five or whatever it was.
And it looks like the glow looks the same.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's very glowy, but in no way shimmery or sparkle.
There is not my problem with there's no mica in it,
which is what actually shimmers. So it's perfect for someone
that does want a glow without any shape.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's just beautiful. And it's also a really good primer,
like it does the job of a good primer, yes,
not just creates that glowy underbase.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So it helps grip your makeup as well, exactly. Yeah,
but it's still juicy, isn't it just gorgeous? Though you
have to tell me off the record what the other
one is. I know, I know it's still good. You're
not saying it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I'm not saying it's not good. I just you just
this one with similar like and they happen to sort
of come into my life at the same time, so
that one was going to get recommended.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So I have a powder that we could put on
top of our face after we've done our beautiful savy primer.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Unlikely to convince me go on. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
If it was discontinued, but it's back, the Javanci Prism
Libet four color loose powder.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I mean, do you want to use it? No, you're scared.
I'm not scared. I have some tea about that powder. Okay,
just wait first it comes in one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven combinations of colors, as in, you can get seven
different tubs and inside each tub is four colors, but
you use them all together. So what you're supposed to
do is reminds so beautiful. It's so beautiful. So mine's open, right,
(06:28):
you go shake, shake, shake, and then when you sort
of use it to set and add some luminosity the
four colors, Like, it doesn't look like you've got green, purple, pink,
blue to work out those colors on your face. It
just gives you the most beautiful sort of airbrush radiance
and sets your makeup. It's so expensive. The full size
(06:49):
is one hundred and eight dollars. But let me give
you some better news. You can get a mini for
fifty eight and you do not need more than the mini. Like,
I could never go through that, So the one I
like is one. So there's O one to six give
me your tea. So it's just too busy thinking about
the tea.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's not that they discontinued it, it's that they reformulated
it and people weren't happy about it. So your makeup
artist's friend probably still doesn't love this Compared to the
old formula. She hasn't bought the new one yet. Yeah. Well,
but the thing is is that I think it's only
if the old one was your ride or die, then
you start using this one and go, oh, it's not
the same. Like they're still Javonci, Like they're still going
(07:27):
to release a great product.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it's like my favorite Mechamax Bronza, Like I was
so in love with the other one. The new formulation
that came out a few years ago is still incredible
if you've never tried the old one. But for me,
it's not as good.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's like a madifying finishing powder, but it still gives
you illumination and luminosity and it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Just looks so good. Yeah it's beautiful. Get the mini. Okay,
that's what happened, I know, Yeah, there was all this.
Basically they removed the talk from the formula because people
were winging about it so much. But it needed the
tow can it to be that amazing? And it comes
into the conversation around everything in high enough doses? Is
it really bad chemical? And it was in such a
small amount that it wasn't gonna hurt anyone anyway. I
(08:06):
like it. Let me take a deep breath. So I
also think that it's worth noting you don't need to
write a product off just because people on tick to goring.
It's not the same. It could be you don't know
the old one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. What's your spending? My spend?
Your is so random? It is the quarterly, it's that
French brand from Sephora, the viny Perfect micro peeling instant
(08:29):
a clot which is a micro pill like an instant one.
So thirty seconds. So I love their serums, but I
haven't tried that well at first because I don't really
like foams. But sometimes you cannot be bothered to do
a facial, you cannot be bothered to put on a
mask or whatnot.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This is great. Apparently you can use it as your cleanser.
I was gonna say, is it your cleansing step? Brighter
looking skin in thirty seconds? Mandelic acid which we love,
ahs and grapewater.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
For someone like me that has dried dehydrated skin, I
would never recommend that you use it every single day
in your cleanser. What about me? No? Still for you,
if you were oily, I would say you absolutely could.
But your combo you couldn't. Well, you could give it
a try, but I just wouldn't recommend it. I just
think it's too harsh, especially with other actives to be
using it. However, I also just wouldn't ever recommend a
(09:20):
foam to a dry, dehydrated person. I've been using it
once a week, say on a Sunday night, as like
a treatment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You're an expollient step exactly that it can be bothered.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So you literally just put a spot of the foam.
I know I'm going to regret this, but I've got
to you just you like to feel things. I'm very texted,
and you just got a word sensorial. Then you just
rub it into your face thirty seconds you can feel
it like munching away, and then just wash it off
and then you're done. Oh my god, you know how
lazy I am. I'm gonna it is so good for
lazy girls.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And it says on dry skin and then you wet
it because obviously that's how it does the munching.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It goes into like quite a nice cream. Yeah, it's
really lovely product. It hasn't dried me out at all.
I mean that said, Yes, I haven't been using it
every day which probably do.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, don't even if it says, oh my god, my
hand is so soft, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Five dollars and it's huge, big, one hundred mili thiny.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And yeah if you use it once or twice a week, Yeah,
that's one of the kind of products that's incredible. But
it sounds scary and you don't know how to use it,
so I bet it's not as popular as it could be.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Exactly right. And people also, we don't really think about
different ways that you could use something. It was only
because I guess it was kind of a shot my
stash as well, because I was hunting around, couldn't be
bothered actually doing a mask. And then I was like,
thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm going to go, tick tick tick, Okay, Wow, I
really like everything you've brought so far. Well done, gold
Star and after the Break two brand new fab products
that have landed on our desks, both from Ossie small businesses.
All right, I'm going to go first. Please do I
(10:53):
want to preface this. I get a DM a week
from someone of my circus saying, hey, what my neck?
Because you know, next get creepy in and I go,
do you listen to your bady, Yes, do you carry
your skincare down to your nipples? No? Why not because
it's expensive or I don't know, it's quick. My neck's
just really thing all of a sudden. I also reached
that point a few years ago, and I was like, whoopsie,
sorry neck the he hope.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Actually you've got a lovely neck.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's very dry because even now, like when I'm using
my really fancy skincare, I stop there and then I
usually use a specific or a more affordable serum here,
But then sometimes I'm fo died the Jjoba company neck
and decolotage lifting concentrate and loved you. I love the
color right, and it's new, but it's not that cheap.
But in its defense, we're using it here, not all over.
(11:37):
So say you've got your beautiful one hundred and two
hundred dollar face serum, I see why you don't want
to carry it down to your decolotage, whereas this is
for that area. I love the purple. It's really lovely
and lightweight. It is sixty four five.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Also worth noting that because you can get the brand
from places like Priceline, it smelt it. You can smell it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, I mean It literally launched a second ago and
it's got some amazing reviews. What I like about is
so good. Yeah, and I've been using it morning and night.
In the morning, I pop it on here and then
by the time I've done, you know, a few more
st for my face, it's sync dried in and then
because of course, we follow with sunscreen on that area.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh you use it in the morning. Yeah, I've been
using the morning at night. Am I not allowed? No,
you probably are. I just allow. You're better than me
with bodycare.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm combo, so I can't do that many steps in
the morning, but I have more capacity and energy. So
it says massage three pumps into neck and decolotage twice
a day. I have been and I love it. So
go her hob a company. We love you and we
love looking after our little turkey necks. What's your newbie?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
My newbie is the Bang and Body Firming Oil. Firstly,
I love the bottle because it's perfect to hold. Just
hold it to anyone that's listening like that. It's kind
of shaped a little bit like a body almost.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But go watch the video if you want to see
me you prices writing it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, you just grab it and it's like perfect. It's
very ergonomic in terms of how you can hold, also
a bit central, like a woman's body. I didn't actually
get to chat to Priscilla, who is the founder of
Bang and Body, but I saw her talking excitedly about
this at a recent Sephora events, and I really wanted
to talk to her about it because may I, yeah,
of course you can. It's really beautiful. I'm not sure
(13:16):
if you are gonna like it though, because you don't
like the pineapple fragrance of the og product. Please hold it.
Also says you can use on your face. It's a
little bit too fragrance for me to use on my face,
but I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Could have not used it on my face. It's very pineapplely.
The scent is a bit young for me, but I
love the packaging and the texture.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's so beautiful. So what I thought why I wanted
to chat to her about it was because she founded
Bang and Body so long ago and coming out with
the ferming cream. You would think that the ferming oil
would be really quick with the natural progression of the brand,
but it hasn't been, and so I wanted to talk
to her about the process. Of formulating it, because I'm
(13:54):
guessing that that had something to do with it, because
she's the sort of person. She's not going to release
a product half fast. She only releases things.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I think it's also quite clever, like whether or not
it was planned or not, but the brand has evolved.
But yeah, and everyone knows it now that you're like, oh,
whereas it Shortly after you'd be like, oh, well I
get one or the other. But now bang and body
fanatics will be like, well, I've got it both.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Also the fact that it's launching right before winter. When
you layer a cream then an oil over the top.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know how I would use that because a pineapple
sense two pineapplely for me, I do like a bunch
of skirts in my bath. I'll be and I get
out your juicy and hydrated. But you're not a pinafle see.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think that the fragrance, like I think it's beautiful
for the body. I will dare say that they'll release
it uncentered, moving forward the way that they did with
the cream, just for people that don't like fragrances. We
love options. Did you tell me how much it was?
It's sixty eight dollars for one hundred and twenty five meals,
so that's gonna last you a fair while. Expensive, and
it's got eight super oils and essential fatty acids in it.
(14:52):
I also just want to randomly show you the website.
It's really cool. Look at this. Oh wow, they've got
you need to go have a look. However, they've designed
the website to launch the oil.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Your mouse makes it kind of go oily.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, it's really cool. It's really hard to describe, but
you'll have to just go and have a look because
very clever. I love it. I love the bottle. It's amazing.
After the break, I shopped my stash after reading an
article Aaron recently wrote, and my golly, am I glad
that I did shop mustache.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, well, are we going to talk about your
shop stash article insfo or so yes.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I read an article on Muma mea. We'll link it
in the show notes. You're a good student reading that place,
especially that Aaron had said this is the best Boobe
cream I've used, And I was like, what what? Click click,
And then I hunted around because I remember I had
it at home. It is the Chee Chee super Cca
cream with cavia extract. Oh my goodness, it is so good.
(16:01):
So at the time of recording it's twenty nine dollars
from Maya full price, it's just under forty dollars. Holy,
it is so good. The shade range could be better.
It's not awful, but there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight shades. It's kind of like your perfect product when
you don't want to wear a foundation. It's what I've
(16:23):
got on today. You look amazing. You know what. It's
a dupe for No It Cosmetics c Secreme. Oh, oh
goodness me. I wouldn't even put them in the same category,
don't you. I think they're so similar. Cosmetics c Seacreme
is so much more pigmented and thick. Really, yeah, I
think it Cosmetics is way more foundation y. Maybe I
put on too much.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think they're both fabulous, But I think this is
great and what you're saving yourself thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
A lot of money. And then I remembered that back
when I worked in beauty publishing, this was kind of
like an office secret and everyone would kind of store them.
If they ever got sent in, they'd be like, oh,
I'm taking these few shades because it's like it was
the secret cult product in the beauty world, and I
(17:06):
sort of just have forgotten about the brand, So thank
you eron reducing me to it because it is so good.
It's also huge, it's huge. Fifty mil. Wow, that's a
face cream.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So most foundations or product are like thirty mil.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, some are fifteen summer twenty, summer thirty.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So it's going to last you so long.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We love a Kelly math of the value per meal.
That's amazing. Thank you. How did you shop for Oh yeah,
so ages ago. Let's say three or four months ago.
In the U beauty group, someone said, has anyone tried
this tan? And then everyone said yes, it's amazing, and
I was like, well, BRB.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Gotta shast go buy it.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It is the Quick Flick Quick Glow three in one
whipped gradual tan and body moisturizer. It's a moose, it's
a gradual tan, and it's clear and it's a body
moist strizer too. It's very hydrating. When I say very hydrating,
it's not like you're moisturizing, you're still tanning. But I
don't get itchy because I get itchy from a lot
of DHA's, which is the active ingredient in ten and
(18:01):
I'm lazy.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I do it at night.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I go to bed, and because it's clear, I'm probably
not going to get any out, don't.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Get it out. I know that you love to get
things out, but Lord, just put it on a tissue
at least. Okay, so it looks like cam moos cool.
And I put it on at night, I'm gonna have
a sniff.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The first few times I used it, I did use
a MIT, but then I was like, yolo, I can't
get precision with Emit.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Quite like the cinemeal of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Now I just do it with my bare hands and
wash my hands, and.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You've got to really make sure you get in between
your website.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
But it's not as bad as those other graduals we've
used and had bad webs Like. It really rinses off
really nicely. It's gradual, so you're not going to get
a deep tan, but we don't really do deep tans anymore.
It just gives you a really nice glow the next morning.
Or you could do it like, because it's clear, you
could do it in the morning and then just chuck
on a dress or whatever you wouldn't want to wear
tight things so good for.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Price twenty nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I really like it, but I forgot because I hadn't
been tanning recently.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And then today she's got the glow.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, it's just great. I think you can get it
at like supermarkets and stuff. If you can, you can
get it at cold Oh, it's on sale at the moment.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's quite big too.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It's huge, two hundred and sixty grams. And because it's
the Moose, you could if you wanted a deeper tan.
I've done this before as well. Do a quote and
by the time you finished that coat, it's stride and
do another one. Whereas creams you can't really build up.
We can, but it's easier to mess up scky and
then you sit on the toilet seat than the toilet seat.
Oh dearie me on that note, Thank you so much
for listening.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
Now, don't forget.
Speaker 2 (19:23):

weirll like Friday's our favorite days to do the work
(00:40):
for because what is our life that that's our job
that we're like, okay, what products are we going to
talk about?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
And we're talking about how we prep at home when
we do the scripts and our notes, and I'm like,
I put all the products on my bed and then
I'm just.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
Like, ooh, okay, I love this. Oh well I recommend no,
actually no, I don't love that one as much as
this one. And it's just really fun. So we really
love jobs. We really love our jobs. We really love
sifting through all the rubbish for you.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
And we thank you for listening because if no one listened,
we wouldn't get to do this exactly. You hear what
we do on Fridays, We talk through our favorite products
a spendy a savee, something new, and then something that
we've been playing with at home for a while. We
might have finished it, we might have repurchased it. We
just love it. And we call it a shop my.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Stash, spendy Baby, spandy Bay. So first up, let's start
with our savs.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
Should I go, please remember how I'm on the Blush train,
doesn't any I remember Chew chew, So if you are
not across. I never really wore blush until the last
six months, and now I am Blush City.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
She's basically the steam train's captain. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
I am the Blush controller train all aboard, and I've
only been using creams of liquids because i am forty three,
but now I'm progressing to powders. It is the Milani
baked powder blush. There's a bunch of shades. My shade
is Bury and Moore. I think you've been playing with
these two. You probably like the darker colors.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Oh, they're just beautiful. I mean the baked blushes have
been kind of like a bit of an underdog. They
will see really big, that's like they are own cult product.
But then there've been a bit of an Underdog.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
They're incredible and also a lot of very expensive brands
do great ones. This reminds me of a very very
very expensive.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Does it rhyme with flour glass?
Speaker 2 (02:28):
Yes, they're twenty one ninety nine. Let me tell you
how many shades there are before I tell you about
my favorite. Oh, there's a lot of shades one, two, three, four, five,
six seven. This is shade three very more. It's like
a pinky goldie. It's a neody peach color with gold
flex in it. That's what she said, and it is
(02:49):
just so delicious. I use my little buffing brush. I tap, tap, tap,
because I don't want any powder to like grab, particularly
because I'm probably putting it on liquid foundation. So you've
really got to let that set. This is my new
blush learning rules. I don't do the apples on my
cheeks anymore.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
I do higher up.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
It is to show yourself a blush face, like I'm
trying to show for the watches.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
It's so pretty.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
It's so pretty, it looks so expensive. It's so luminous, buildable,
but also great for beginners like me to twenty one
ninety nine. It's at price line, so as if it's
not going to go on sale, but it is so
worth that much money.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I think if you have a slightly older skin, thank
you so older than you know, say twenty five and mature,
then you actually do want not shimmer, but you want
to slight something in your paluminosity. Otherwise it just looks
a little bit too matt on your face.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Agreed, Like, I will still use a translucent which is
clear for my oily bits, but there's no way I
could use a matte blush. Yeah, it just would not
be a good time. What's your saving.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
There's a little bit of a backstory to this. So
a product that I was going to talk about this
week that was actually going to be my spendee was
a very expensive primer that I've been absolutely loving. Can
you tell me? It is between eighteen ninety dollars from memory,
So it was very expensive primer. But I just loved
the glow, I loved the finish. I love the way
(04:11):
it looked done to make up so much so I
was like, it's going to be my spendy anyway. I know,
I'm dying to know where this is going. A couple
of weeks ago, I got a delivery from Revlon and
a primer was in the delivery. Oh, they've got any primer.
And I looked at the packaging and then I put
it on the back of my hand and I thought, goodness, goodness, me,
that looks very similar to the primer that I've been
(04:31):
loving so much. And I put them next to each
other and they were effectively exactly the same thing.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
So I'm reading the packaging while she plays so Revlon
Illuminance glow prim and nourish and go oh so this
joins our foundation and concealer and tinted moisturize A friend
in that family.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I don't actually know if they're all in the same family.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Albumnance, Yeah, it's illuminais Oh okay, I know that much.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
It's just so beautiful. You can always get it on
special Revlon generally at chemisware House price line somewhere. And
I thought, oh, my very word, the fact that this
is seventeen dollars compared to eighty five or whatever it was.
And it looks like the glow looks the same.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's very glowy, but in no way shimmery or sparkle.
There is not my problem with there's no mica in it,
which is what actually shimmers. So it's perfect for someone
that does want a glow without any shape.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
It's just beautiful. And it's also a really good primer,
like it does the job of a good primer, yes,
not just creates that glowy underbase.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
So it helps grip your makeup as well, exactly. Yeah,
but it's still juicy, isn't it just gorgeous? Though you
have to tell me off the record what the other
one is. I know, I know it's still good. You're
not saying it's not.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I'm not saying it's not good. I just you just
this one with similar like and they happen to sort
of come into my life at the same time, so
that one was going to get recommended.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
So I have a powder that we could put on
top of our face after we've done our beautiful savy primer.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Unlikely to convince me go on. Okay, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
If it was discontinued, but it's back, the Javanci Prism
Libet four color loose powder.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Look at it.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
I mean, do you want to use it? No, you're scared.
I'm not scared. I have some tea about that powder. Okay,
just wait first it comes in one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven combinations of colors, as in, you can get seven
different tubs and inside each tub is four colors, but
you use them all together. So what you're supposed to
do is reminds so beautiful. It's so beautiful. So mine's open, right,
(06:28):
you go shake, shake, shake, and then when you sort
of use it to set and add some luminosity the
four colors, Like, it doesn't look like you've got green, purple, pink,
blue to work out those colors on your face. It
just gives you the most beautiful sort of airbrush radiance
and sets your makeup. It's so expensive. The full size
(06:49):
is one hundred and eight dollars. But let me give
you some better news. You can get a mini for
fifty eight and you do not need more than the mini. Like,
I could never go through that, So the one I
like is one. So there's O one to six give
me your tea. So it's just too busy thinking about
the tea.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
It's not that they discontinued it, it's that they reformulated
it and people weren't happy about it. So your makeup
artist's friend probably still doesn't love this Compared to the
old formula. She hasn't bought the new one yet. Yeah. Well,
but the thing is is that I think it's only
if the old one was your ride or die, then
you start using this one and go, oh, it's not
the same. Like they're still Javonci, Like they're still going
(07:27):
to release a great product.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
And it's like my favorite Mechamax Bronza, Like I was
so in love with the other one. The new formulation
that came out a few years ago is still incredible
if you've never tried the old one. But for me,
it's not as good.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
What it is.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
It's like a madifying finishing powder, but it still gives
you illumination and luminosity and it.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Just looks so good. Yeah it's beautiful. Get the mini. Okay,
that's what happened, I know, Yeah, there was all this.
Basically they removed the talk from the formula because people
were winging about it so much. But it needed the
tow can it to be that amazing? And it comes
into the conversation around everything in high enough doses? Is
it really bad chemical? And it was in such a
small amount that it wasn't gonna hurt anyone anyway. I
(08:06):
like it. Let me take a deep breath. So I
also think that it's worth noting you don't need to
write a product off just because people on tick to goring.
It's not the same. It could be you don't know
the old one. Yeah, yeah, exactly. What's your spending? My spend?
Your is so random? It is the quarterly, it's that
French brand from Sephora, the viny Perfect micro peeling instant
(08:29):
a clot which is a micro pill like an instant one.
So thirty seconds. So I love their serums, but I
haven't tried that well at first because I don't really
like foams. But sometimes you cannot be bothered to do
a facial, you cannot be bothered to put on a
mask or whatnot.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
This is great. Apparently you can use it as your cleanser.
I was gonna say, is it your cleansing step? Brighter
looking skin in thirty seconds? Mandelic acid which we love,
ahs and grapewater.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
For someone like me that has dried dehydrated skin, I
would never recommend that you use it every single day
in your cleanser. What about me? No? Still for you,
if you were oily, I would say you absolutely could.
But your combo you couldn't. Well, you could give it
a try, but I just wouldn't recommend it. I just
think it's too harsh, especially with other actives to be
using it. However, I also just wouldn't ever recommend a
(09:20):
foam to a dry, dehydrated person. I've been using it
once a week, say on a Sunday night, as like
a treatment.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
You're an expollient step exactly that it can be bothered.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
So you literally just put a spot of the foam.
I know I'm going to regret this, but I've got
to you just you like to feel things. I'm very texted,
and you just got a word sensorial. Then you just
rub it into your face thirty seconds you can feel
it like munching away, and then just wash it off
and then you're done. Oh my god, you know how
lazy I am. I'm gonna it is so good for
lazy girls.
Speaker 2 (09:51):
And it says on dry skin and then you wet
it because obviously that's how it does the munching.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
It goes into like quite a nice cream. Yeah, it's
really lovely product. It hasn't dried me out at all.
I mean that said, Yes, I haven't been using it
every day which probably do.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Yeah, don't even if it says, oh my god, my
hand is so soft, it's so good.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
Five dollars and it's huge, big, one hundred mili thiny.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
And yeah if you use it once or twice a week, Yeah,
that's one of the kind of products that's incredible. But
it sounds scary and you don't know how to use it,
so I bet it's not as popular as it could be.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Exactly right. And people also, we don't really think about
different ways that you could use something. It was only
because I guess it was kind of a shot my
stash as well, because I was hunting around, couldn't be
bothered actually doing a mask. And then I was like,
thirty seconds.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I'm going to go, tick tick tick, Okay, Wow, I
really like everything you've brought so far. Well done, gold
Star and after the Break two brand new fab products
that have landed on our desks, both from Ossie small businesses.
All right, I'm going to go first. Please do I
(10:53):
want to preface this. I get a DM a week
from someone of my circus saying, hey, what my neck?
Because you know, next get creepy in and I go,
do you listen to your bady, Yes, do you carry
your skincare down to your nipples? No? Why not because
it's expensive or I don't know, it's quick. My neck's
just really thing all of a sudden. I also reached
that point a few years ago, and I was like, whoopsie,
sorry neck the he hope.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Actually you've got a lovely neck.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's very dry because even now, like when I'm using
my really fancy skincare, I stop there and then I
usually use a specific or a more affordable serum here,
But then sometimes I'm fo died the Jjoba company neck
and decolotage lifting concentrate and loved you. I love the
color right, and it's new, but it's not that cheap.
But in its defense, we're using it here, not all over.
(11:37):
So say you've got your beautiful one hundred and two
hundred dollar face serum, I see why you don't want
to carry it down to your decolotage, whereas this is
for that area. I love the purple. It's really lovely
and lightweight. It is sixty four five.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Also worth noting that because you can get the brand
from places like Priceline, it smelt it. You can smell it.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yeah, I mean It literally launched a second ago and
it's got some amazing reviews. What I like about is
so good. Yeah, and I've been using it morning and night.
In the morning, I pop it on here and then
by the time I've done, you know, a few more
st for my face, it's sync dried in and then
because of course, we follow with sunscreen on that area.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Oh you use it in the morning. Yeah, I've been
using the morning at night. Am I not allowed? No,
you probably are. I just allow. You're better than me
with bodycare.
Speaker 2 (12:20):
I'm combo, so I can't do that many steps in
the morning, but I have more capacity and energy. So
it says massage three pumps into neck and decolotage twice
a day. I have been and I love it. So
go her hob a company. We love you and we
love looking after our little turkey necks. What's your newbie?
Speaker 1 (12:37):
My newbie is the Bang and Body Firming Oil. Firstly,
I love the bottle because it's perfect to hold. Just
hold it to anyone that's listening like that. It's kind
of shaped a little bit like a body almost.
Speaker 2 (12:52):
But go watch the video if you want to see
me you prices writing it.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
Yeah, you just grab it and it's like perfect. It's
very ergonomic in terms of how you can hold, also
a bit central, like a woman's body. I didn't actually
get to chat to Priscilla, who is the founder of
Bang and Body, but I saw her talking excitedly about
this at a recent Sephora events, and I really wanted
to talk to her about it because may I, yeah,
of course you can. It's really beautiful. I'm not sure
(13:16):
if you are gonna like it though, because you don't
like the pineapple fragrance of the og product. Please hold it.
Also says you can use on your face. It's a
little bit too fragrance for me to use on my face,
but I love it.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
Could have not used it on my face. It's very pineapplely.
The scent is a bit young for me, but I
love the packaging and the texture.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
It's so beautiful. So what I thought why I wanted
to chat to her about it was because she founded
Bang and Body so long ago and coming out with
the ferming cream. You would think that the ferming oil
would be really quick with the natural progression of the brand,
but it hasn't been, and so I wanted to talk
to her about the process. Of formulating it, because I'm
(13:54):
guessing that that had something to do with it, because
she's the sort of person. She's not going to release
a product half fast. She only releases things.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
I think it's also quite clever, like whether or not
it was planned or not, but the brand has evolved.
But yeah, and everyone knows it now that you're like, oh,
whereas it Shortly after you'd be like, oh, well I
get one or the other. But now bang and body
fanatics will be like, well, I've got it both.
Speaker 1 (14:15):
Also the fact that it's launching right before winter. When
you layer a cream then an oil over the top.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
You know how I would use that because a pineapple
sense two pineapplely for me, I do like a bunch
of skirts in my bath. I'll be and I get
out your juicy and hydrated. But you're not a pinafle see.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think that the fragrance, like I think it's beautiful
for the body. I will dare say that they'll release
it uncentered, moving forward the way that they did with
the cream, just for people that don't like fragrances. We
love options. Did you tell me how much it was?
It's sixty eight dollars for one hundred and twenty five meals,
so that's gonna last you a fair while. Expensive, and
it's got eight super oils and essential fatty acids in it.
(14:52):
I also just want to randomly show you the website.
It's really cool. Look at this. Oh wow, they've got
you need to go have a look. However, they've designed
the website to launch the oil.
Speaker 2 (15:03):
Your mouse makes it kind of go oily.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, it's really cool. It's really hard to describe, but
you'll have to just go and have a look because
very clever. I love it. I love the bottle. It's amazing.
After the break, I shopped my stash after reading an
article Aaron recently wrote, and my golly, am I glad
that I did shop mustache.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
All right, well, are we going to talk about your
shop stash article insfo or so yes.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
I read an article on Muma mea. We'll link it
in the show notes. You're a good student reading that place,
especially that Aaron had said this is the best Boobe
cream I've used, And I was like, what what? Click click,
And then I hunted around because I remember I had
it at home. It is the Chee Chee super Cca
cream with cavia extract. Oh my goodness, it is so good.
(16:01):
So at the time of recording it's twenty nine dollars
from Maya full price, it's just under forty dollars. Holy,
it is so good. The shade range could be better.
It's not awful, but there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven,
eight shades. It's kind of like your perfect product when
you don't want to wear a foundation. It's what I've
(16:23):
got on today. You look amazing. You know what. It's
a dupe for No It Cosmetics c Secreme. Oh, oh
goodness me. I wouldn't even put them in the same category,
don't you. I think they're so similar. Cosmetics c Seacreme
is so much more pigmented and thick. Really, yeah, I
think it Cosmetics is way more foundation y. Maybe I
put on too much.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
I think they're both fabulous, But I think this is
great and what you're saving yourself thirty.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
A lot of money. And then I remembered that back
when I worked in beauty publishing, this was kind of
like an office secret and everyone would kind of store them.
If they ever got sent in, they'd be like, oh,
I'm taking these few shades because it's like it was
the secret cult product in the beauty world, and I
(17:06):
sort of just have forgotten about the brand, So thank
you eron reducing me to it because it is so good.
It's also huge, it's huge. Fifty mil. Wow, that's a
face cream.
Speaker 2 (17:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
So most foundations or product are like thirty mil.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Yeah, some are fifteen summer twenty, summer thirty.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
So it's going to last you so long.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
We love a Kelly math of the value per meal.
That's amazing. Thank you. How did you shop for Oh yeah,
so ages ago. Let's say three or four months ago.
In the U beauty group, someone said, has anyone tried
this tan? And then everyone said yes, it's amazing, and
I was like, well, BRB.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Gotta shast go buy it.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
It is the Quick Flick Quick Glow three in one
whipped gradual tan and body moisturizer. It's a moose, it's
a gradual tan, and it's clear and it's a body
moist strizer too. It's very hydrating. When I say very hydrating,
it's not like you're moisturizing, you're still tanning. But I
don't get itchy because I get itchy from a lot
of DHA's, which is the active ingredient in ten and
(18:01):
I'm lazy.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
I do it at night.
Speaker 2 (18:03):
I go to bed, and because it's clear, I'm probably
not going to get any out, don't.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
Get it out. I know that you love to get
things out, but Lord, just put it on a tissue
at least. Okay, so it looks like cam moos cool.
And I put it on at night, I'm gonna have
a sniff.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
The first few times I used it, I did use
a MIT, but then I was like, yolo, I can't
get precision with Emit.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
Quite like the cinemeal of it. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
Now I just do it with my bare hands and
wash my hands, and.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
You've got to really make sure you get in between
your website.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
But it's not as bad as those other graduals we've
used and had bad webs Like. It really rinses off
really nicely. It's gradual, so you're not going to get
a deep tan, but we don't really do deep tans anymore.
It just gives you a really nice glow the next morning.
Or you could do it like, because it's clear, you
could do it in the morning and then just chuck
on a dress or whatever you wouldn't want to wear
tight things so good for.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Price twenty nine dollars.
Speaker 2 (18:49):
I really like it, but I forgot because I hadn't
been tanning recently.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And then today she's got the glow.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, it's just great. I think you can get it
at like supermarkets and stuff. If you can, you can
get it at cold Oh, it's on sale at the moment.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's quite big too.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
It's huge, two hundred and sixty grams. And because it's
the Moose, you could if you wanted a deeper tan.
I've done this before as well. Do a quote and
by the time you finished that coat, it's stride and
do another one. Whereas creams you can't really build up.
We can, but it's easier to mess up scky and
then you sit on the toilet seat than the toilet seat.
Oh dearie me on that note, Thank you so much
for listening.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
