Leigh and Kelly are back answering your burning beauty questions, alongside a special trend report from inside Sephora’s new product showcase!
But first, beauty news correspondents Mollie and Cass unpack rhode newness and what it has to do with Carolyn Basset-Kennedy, concealer’s 2026 rebrand, and the ‘3-month rule’ that explains why having a viral beauty product isn’t enough to build a successful brand. Case in point: Medicube’s viral Kylie Jenner Korean skincare tool campaign wasn’t an accident… and didn’t come cheap.
Leigh settles a debate that keeps coming up in her DMs: which is the correct way to wear your under-eye masks? Oh, and Kelly brings a gross but ultra satisfying hack for removing foul days-old fake tan in seconds. Plus, enjoy a skin science lesson that explains the difference between hydration and moisturisation, and why you need both for healthy, glowing skin.
Finally, you might’ve seen the House of Sephora new product showcase on social media, but what was it actually like, and which exclusive new products got Leigh and Kelly excited? We break down their picks for product launches to mark in your calendar.
