Speaker 4: Just as we're going to have to head down to Melbourne.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, Mecca's just doing amazing things, like even in Australia,
Speaker 2: we've had the Glossy Air launch which is so exciting,

Speaker 2: lots and lots of really cool things happening in the
Speaker 2: beauty space.
Speaker 4: For those who don't know what is Tower twenty eight.
Speaker 2: Well it's just a really massive, super popular brand in America,
Speaker 2: just like with really really cult favorite products.
Speaker 1: I love when we Australians get finally get the like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, I really want to see like REFI
Speaker 1: more here exactly, Like the brands that are so like
Speaker 1: they're so in your face on TikTok and we just
Speaker 1: can't access that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think the Mecca's trying their best to
Speaker 2: bring those over.
Speaker 4: So you know, they're doing a really good jobathy.
Speaker 3: I mean, loss yeer is massive.
Speaker 2: Finally having Glossier like that is a cult favorite in
Speaker 2: the beauty world.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's like get into our midyear wrap up faves.
Speaker 4: Okay, this is like the Spotify wrap up but yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: So true, like these are the things we can't put
Speaker 2: down that you guys need in your kit or even
Speaker 2: our favorite launchers.
Speaker 3: So let's get into it.
Speaker 1: Yes, okay, So starting shown with the glossierbarm dot com.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 2: It's like the barm dot com. It's twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I was really really.
Speaker 3: Surprised by by Glossier. It's actually quite affordable.
Speaker 1: It's not it's not crazy, like twenty seven dollars for
Speaker 1: a lip product, although it sounds crazy now, is actually
Speaker 1: not crazy compared to the rest of the market exactly.
Speaker 2: And I've been using this recently and I just love it.
Speaker 2: It's so hydrating. The colors are really really pretty and
Speaker 2: just iconic. I don't know the packaging so exactly. It's
Speaker 2: like just having something from Glossier it makes me just feel.
Speaker 3: So I don't know who, just really like it.
Speaker 4: It's just so fun to have in my kid.
Speaker 1: What do you How do you feel about the perfume
Speaker 1: from Glossier? Oh okay, guys, this is a cult favorite perfume.
Speaker 1: It's called Glossier You, and the packaging is really really cool,
Speaker 1: so different.
Speaker 2: However, as a you know, fragrance lover, it's not my
Speaker 2: favorite thing. I just think that it's just a bit.
Speaker 3: Me, isn't It's supposed to like merge to your skin.
Speaker 2: Yeah it is, so I think it really works on
Speaker 2: some people super well, but on me it just kind
Speaker 2: of gives nothing. It's giving nothing, unfortunately. But I like
Speaker 2: love most other things from Glossier. So so that that's
Speaker 2: made the list exactly exactly. Okay, another lip products we're
Speaker 2: going to go in like sections. So we're on lips
Speaker 2: right now. This a Mani Prisma glass lip gloss. Oh
Speaker 2: my goodness, gracious meat. So it is the best lip
Speaker 2: launch of like not even twenty four.
Speaker 3: I'm obsessed with it.
Speaker 2: The lip gloss formula is phenomenal. They base this formula
Speaker 2: off of like glass lip trend like it's giving full,
Speaker 2: it's giving.
Speaker 3: Smooth, yeah, like really smooth snow fine lines. Yeah.
Speaker 2: And it's such a beautiful formula. So it is sixty
Speaker 2: five dollars guys, like it is our money, bitty.
Speaker 1: But I love the shade like they have this really
Speaker 1: it looks super bright pink in packaging. Yeah, but when
Speaker 1: you pair it with like a brown lipliner, it's delicious.
Speaker 3: It looks so good. It's shade O two.
Speaker 2: It's like the perfect bunny tongue pink. Has anyone seen bunny?
Speaker 4: Well that makes sense.
Speaker 2: There's this trend on TikTok there's a photo of a
Speaker 2: bunny with like the prettiest tongue and the color pink
Speaker 2: of it. Everyone's been trying to match like their lips
Speaker 2: to that color. I know, but it's been like a
Speaker 2: hunt for the best bunny tongue pink.
Speaker 3: Oh, this is it, This is the way. So it's
Speaker 3: O two.
Speaker 4: It's such a beautiful, beautiful shade.
Speaker 2: I'm obsessed with it and just the formula, like, oh
Speaker 2: my gosh, there's nothing else like it on the market,
Speaker 2: So I think it's worth the splurge. And it's a
Speaker 2: really good gift.
Speaker 1: Yes, Okay, now to Coincialer. I have a new found
Speaker 1: favorite consiler, And honestly, I don't strain much from my
Speaker 1: usual like seven Stone products, my creature of habit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but this one has made that habit list. It's the
Speaker 1: Bobby Brown Conceal a stick and.
Speaker 4: It's like these little, tiny, tiny.
Speaker 1: Sticks, but it lasts a really long time. Yeah, And
Speaker 1: you just wind it up and you put it on.
Speaker 1: And the formula is really different to like a liquid formula.
Speaker 1: It's kind of thicker, it's like a cream. But the
Speaker 1: way it pats out looks so natural, and the way
Speaker 1: it covers pimples.
Speaker 3: Or like pigmentation is insane. Like, it's so good.
Speaker 1: I use this by itself and just the tiniest bit
Speaker 1: of blush before I go to UNI, and I look
Speaker 1: like I'm wearing no makeup, but I look really awake.
Speaker 3: And just fresh.
Speaker 2: Well. I think Bobby Brown flies under the radar because
Speaker 2: we kind of forget about them as a brand, But
Speaker 2: their formulas are really good. I don't think I've tried
Speaker 2: a product from them that's bad exactly. Their formulas are amazing.
Speaker 2: So this one is fifty seven dollars from Mecha. Obviously,
Speaker 2: you know it's on the pricey side. Bobby Brown is
Speaker 2: more of a luxury brand, but the formula has lasted
Speaker 2: a long time and it's so efforless.
Speaker 1: And another reason why it's my favorite that sometimes I
Speaker 1: struggle with the undertones of concealer, like it's either too
Speaker 1: warm or to olive, and I have like a very
Speaker 1: neutral but ten undertone. Yeah, so it's hard to find
Speaker 1: products that work for that, and this one has a
Speaker 1: really good neutral color.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's such a great product around.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: Next up is muscara, and this muscara is fairly new
Speaker 2: on the market, and it's the adult muscara from Lancom.
Speaker 2: It's such a good muscara. Oh my goodness, gracious, I
Speaker 2: think that this kind of tops every other mascara I've
Speaker 2: ever owned.
Speaker 4: Wow, but why you have like a little personal story.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, I wore this muscara every single day when
Speaker 2: I was doing West Side Story and this was outside.
Speaker 2: So we did this musical outside on the harbor in
Speaker 2: very harsh you know, city, diditions. And one night we
Speaker 2: were doing America, which is like the big thing in
Speaker 2: musical like theater history ever, and it was pouring bucketing
Speaker 2: down rain and I got off stage, and my eyelashes
Speaker 2: looked phenomenal and everyone's leaking, Yeah, everyone mudges down their face,
Speaker 2: and my eyelashes were looking perfect.
Speaker 4: Actually, your whole makeup was Yeah, I said something exactly.
Speaker 2: But honestly, yeah, it's a great musca. It's not waterproof, however,
Speaker 2: it lasts so well in the like in the water,
Speaker 2: the rain. Yeah, so if you're crying, you know.
Speaker 1: A good crying cryproof mosquitoes, it's a criproof Mouscaro is
Speaker 1: in toxic relationship.
Speaker 4: You should leave those leave him. In the first half
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: It really just gives like a full fan effect and
Speaker 2: it's so black. Yeah, I think like they used to
Speaker 2: be like you look at it like your mum's makeup.
Speaker 1: Yes, also kind of unattainable too, but Jamie's worked with Peter,
Speaker 1: so I've been using the stuff exactly.
Speaker 2: But now they're kind of shifting their marketing to be
Speaker 2: a little bit more like young and fresh, and it's
Speaker 2: working because stuff.
Speaker 3: They're definitely on the social media scene.
Speaker 1: Okay, Now the next product is like a launch that
Speaker 1: we're really looking forward to trying out in the second
Speaker 1: half of the year.
Speaker 3: New launch. It's a new launch.
Speaker 1: It's the Makeup Mario Serum Bronza. It's sixty two dollars
Speaker 1: from Sephora, and I honestly love makeup by Mario and
Speaker 1: we've spoken about them before. It's really really good brand,
Speaker 1: so much artistry.
Speaker 2: Yeah, this is what your celebrities are wearing on stage, guys,
Speaker 2: like this is the brand.
Speaker 1: On red carpets. I feel like makeup by Mari like that.
Speaker 1: That just makes sense to me, Yeah, it does.
Speaker 2: So this is a really interesting formula and I haven't
Speaker 2: seen a bronza like this in a long time. So
Speaker 2: it's extremely sheer and like weight, and it really is
Speaker 2: a serum Bronza. So it's not that you know, thick, creamy,
Speaker 2: heavy cream.
Speaker 3: Contour like you're going to.
Speaker 2: No, it's more about having this really effortless bronze that
Speaker 2: blends perfectly into the rest of your face. And it's
Speaker 2: honestly even so glowy and sheer that you could use
Speaker 2: it underneath foundation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think that's how I would probably like
Speaker 1: use it moving forward.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again, beautiful like color range from Mario. It's
Speaker 2: just a really good staple product and I think it's
Speaker 2: going to be amazing in summer time for us.
Speaker 1: I was going to say, I think shifting into spring summer,
Speaker 1: this is going to be like the ecurl product.
Speaker 3: Yeah, one hundred, So keep your eyes on this one.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The next SUO products are kind of like these are
Speaker 1: our staples. They're never leaving our top five lists. They
Speaker 1: always make the top. Nothing has been good enough to
Speaker 1: replace them thus far. But this is the Gisou hair mask.
Speaker 1: It's seventy eight dollars from Mecca. It's like in this
Speaker 1: big tub and it's not actually designed specifically for curly hair,
Speaker 1: but the way I just use this in replacement of
Speaker 1: conditioner is just the best effect for my hair. I
Speaker 1: think this really turned my curls around.
Speaker 3: Well.
Speaker 2: I love the brand all round, and we haven't spoken
Speaker 2: about them much, but they are an incredible brand. So
Speaker 2: what if you don't know the backstory behind the creator?
Speaker 2: Her family were bee keepers and she used to use
Speaker 2: honey a lot in all of her beauty like routines
Speaker 2: and rituals, and honey is such a powerful tool for beauty,
Speaker 2: so she created a hair brand around the honey from
Speaker 2: her like bees in at It Farm, and it exploded.
Speaker 4: Because the products are so beautiful.
Speaker 2: And they've got so much like rich, incredible ingredients.
Speaker 1: It's so lux, but it's not like lux prices. It's
Speaker 1: like mid range. It's like, well, you can get hair
Speaker 1: products way more expensively. Oh yeah, definitely the amount that
Speaker 1: you're getting as well. Like it's a big tub.
Speaker 4: It is a big tub, and it's so worth it.
Speaker 2: You don't need a lot And I think that there's
Speaker 2: like a really good kind of protein structure in there
Speaker 2: for curly hair that doesn't overdo it.
Speaker 1: It gives you these I don't use it every time
Speaker 1: I wash my hair, like I've got my usual products.
Speaker 1: This is when I need a good hair reset, like
Speaker 1: I need my culs to come back to life.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it brings them back.
Speaker 2: Honestly, a lot of products from gifts You are amazing,
Speaker 2: So you should try them if you ever get the
Speaker 2: chance of really great Yeah. I love the packaging too,
Speaker 2: it's so cute.
Speaker 3: It's so curly girl. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, so we obviously have a favorite hair gel and
Speaker 2: it is the Curly Girl Movement hairgel. It is the
Speaker 2: best on the market.
Speaker 3: I've never tried to heldel. It's the best hairdel on
Speaker 3: the market. I've never tried a hairshel that.
Speaker 2: I like more than this, and it is a bit
Speaker 2: hard to get in Australia.
Speaker 4: That's the only downfall to bread.
Speaker 2: So annoying. But if you are going to you know,
Speaker 2: pay for shipping, you might as well got a few
Speaker 2: products from the brand. They also have a great hand mask.
Speaker 2: But this gel is so lightweight and it does an
Speaker 2: amazing job at locking in all that moisture for the
Speaker 2: curly girls.
Speaker 3: It's just so so good. Game changer. This one's a
Speaker 3: game changer.
Speaker 1: And then something new on the scene for us in
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four was the Gem Electric toothbrushes.
Speaker 2: Yes, wow, I like we both have the exact same
Speaker 2: electric toothbrush and it is so good.
Speaker 3: I love it. It's got three settings.
Speaker 1: It's got sensitive yeap, whitening, yeah, whitening, and then clean
Speaker 1: and clean.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I use the clean one every day.
Speaker 3: What do you use? Are used sensitive? Really?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh see, I'm like I I'm the type of girl
Speaker 2: who brushes her teeth for three minutes.
Speaker 1: Well, the first time I used an electric toothbrush, my mom, Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was like, what's going on? I was giggling because
Speaker 1: it tickled so much, Like it took me like three
Speaker 1: weeks to get used.
Speaker 4: To the feeling of an electric toothbrush that's tickle so much.
Speaker 3: I've never like.
Speaker 1: Made myself feel ticklish before. I didn't think it was
Speaker 1: possible electric toothbrush.
Speaker 3: If you've never used it, Oh my gosh, I've never like,
Speaker 3: are you serious.
Speaker 4: I was like, that's so funny.
Speaker 2: It's just a really really good toothbrush. It's seventy five dollars,
Speaker 2: but you know it's there.
Speaker 4: You just replace the head and it lasts like the
Speaker 4: battery last.
Speaker 2: The battery and all yeat is just like a regular
Speaker 2: charger to charge it. Yeah, you know, you don't need batteries,
Speaker 2: which is really annoying. But I just think that like
Speaker 2: oral care is so important and.
Speaker 3: Bread is super cute. I love their marketing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I love how they're making like oral care
Speaker 1: really cute and.
Speaker 2: Fun exactly, like it's making it like a little bit.
Speaker 3: Sexy, yeah, you know, little bit cutes. See.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I really I really like this toothbrush. I think
Speaker 2: if you're on the hunt for something new, stop buying
Speaker 2: those shitty ones that you throw out every three weeks.
Speaker 3: Just stop doing it. Just just buy one that's good.
Speaker 3: It's also better for the environment. Very true.
Speaker 2: So there's another kind of staple thing for me that's
Speaker 2: only come into my fragrance collection because it is a
Speaker 2: collection now that I'm really loving so much, and it's
Speaker 2: not as widely known, you know, like in the regular
Speaker 2: beauty like market. However, in the fragrance community, it is
Speaker 2: a niche fragrance and I'm obsessed with it. And it's
Speaker 2: actually an Arab fragrance, so you know, I feel nice
Speaker 2: and connected to our heritage and it is so delicious.
Speaker 2: It smells like a strawberry milkshake, so you're giving a
Speaker 2: bit of command with this, and it's called Yara from Latafa,
Speaker 2: and Latafa have so many amazing niche fragrances for like
Speaker 2: a nice affordable price, and they last longer than any
Speaker 2: luxury fragrance I've ever used.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you something like these Arab perfumes they
Speaker 1: last like no other perfume that as on the normal market,
Speaker 1: like you said, but also they are way more affordable,
Speaker 1: way way way more affordable. And this is something that
Speaker 1: creeped in in early twenty twenty four, Like every time
Speaker 1: we go to like the area, we're getting these Arab
Speaker 1: perfumes and actually They're like fifty dollars for this del
Speaker 1: smelling perfume that you can't find anywhere on your normal shelves.
Speaker 1: So if you want to push that into your second
Speaker 1: half of twenty twenty four, we highly highly aret it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you can actually just get this off Amazon
Speaker 2: as well if you're not able to get in store
Speaker 2: like they have like little stores in Marylands or paramatter
Speaker 2: where you can buy this, But you can buy it
Speaker 2: on Amazon, which is amazing. It's only fifty seven dollars,
Speaker 2: it lasts a long time, and on your skin, it
Speaker 2: just it just has this incredible like.
Speaker 3: Projection hGe in projection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're gonna smell like a really yummy gormand
Speaker 2: strawberry gal It's so delish.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's really good to like, you have this one
Speaker 4: in the car.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I do.
Speaker 1: So every time I'm driving your car and I forgot
Speaker 1: to book perfume on like, I'm like, yes, I'm in
Speaker 1: Jamie's car. Yeah.
Speaker 2: It's becoming like one of my signature sens. I really
Speaker 2: like them. Yeah, Okay, to wrap things up, this is
Speaker 2: a product that really flies under the radar as well.
Speaker 2: I want to bring it to the forefront of your
Speaker 2: minds because it is such an amazing moisturize up for
Speaker 2: your body and the smell is going to be really
Speaker 2: familiar to you guys, well.
Speaker 4: For the curly girl.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So this is Shay Moistures Coconut and high Biscus body lotion.
Speaker 3: They've got a hair.
Speaker 2: Product that like broke the internet because it was like
Speaker 2: one of the first curly masks on like the scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, especially in Australia.
Speaker 1: And honestly, this is crazy because it has the exact
Speaker 1: same smell exact which is delicious, but for your body.
Speaker 3: And he kind of threw me off at first. I
Speaker 3: was like, is this a hair product?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Jesse was like what are you Why are you using
Speaker 2: that in your bod?
Speaker 4: I was just using the active hair product on her
Speaker 4: body and.
Speaker 3: I was like, whoa, Like what are you doing?
Speaker 2: So it's a phenomenal moisturizer. It is so thick, luxurious
Speaker 2: and it gives you just like so much hydration and
Speaker 2: it settles into the skin well, doesn't leave that oily residue.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and this one's not reserved for the curly girls
Speaker 1: of his day, reaching out to all.
Speaker 4: Of you exactly.
Speaker 2: And what I like about this too, is the scent
Speaker 2: kind of meshres with your own natural scent, and it
Speaker 2: smells so yummy, so delicious.
Speaker 4: Super moisturize, Yeah, super moisturizing.
Speaker 2: And it's not too expensive, and I think that a
Speaker 2: little bit really goes along the longest way. It's twenty
Speaker 2: one dollars from shamemoisture dot com dot you can get
Speaker 2: it at price sign and you probably could get it
Speaker 2: on a nice sale as well.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I think like there's so many categories in beauty these days,
Speaker 2: and there's so many ranges of products. So I'm loving
Speaker 2: new launchers, but we're also loving staples that we've had
Speaker 2: for years.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I feel like there's a good balance, you know
Speaker 3: what I.
Speaker 2: Mean, there's always a good balance. I'm really excited to
Speaker 2: see what the rest of twenty twenty four brings in
Speaker 2: terms of beauty. There's gonna be some super exciting things.
