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: and the Tower twenty eight launch. Yeah, so there's just
Speaker 2: some phenomenal brands coming and there's just lots and lots
Speaker 2: of really cool things happening in the beauty space.
Speaker 1: 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. Yeah, and I think the Mecca's trying
Speaker 1: their best to bring those over, so you know, they're
Speaker 1: doing a really good jobathy. 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 2: 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 1: So let's get into it. Yes, Okay, So starting show
Speaker 1: with the glossierbarm dot com. Yeah, it's really cool.
Speaker 2: It's like the Balm dot com. It's twenty seven dollars.
Speaker 2: That's one thing I was really really.
Speaker 1: Surprised by by Glossier. It's actually quite affordable. It's not
Speaker 1: it's not crazy, like twenty seven dollars for a lip product,
Speaker 1: although it sounds crazy now, is actually not crazy compared
Speaker 1: to the rest of the market exactly. And I've been
Speaker 1: using this recently and I just love it. It's so hydrating,
Speaker 1: the colors are really really pretty and just iconic. I
Speaker 1: don't know the packaging so exactly. It's like just having
Speaker 1: something from Glossier it makes me just feel so I
Speaker 1: don't know who, just really like it. It's just so fun
Speaker 1: to have in my kid. What do you How do
Speaker 1: you feel about the perfume from Glossier? Oh okay, guys,
Speaker 1: this is a cult favorite perfume. It's called Glossier You,
Speaker 1: and the packaging is really really cool 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 1: 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.
Speaker 1: It's giving nothing, unfortunately. But I like love most other
Speaker 1: things from Glossier. So so that that's made the list
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. Okay, another lip products we're going to go
Speaker 1: in like sections. So we're on lips right now.
Speaker 2: This a Mani Prisma glass lip gloss. Oh my goodness,
Speaker 2: gracious meat. So it is the best lip launch of
Speaker 2: like not even twenty four.
Speaker 1: I'm obsessed with it. The lip gloss formula is phenomenal.
Speaker 2: They base this formula off of like glass lip trend,
Speaker 2: like it's giving full, it's giving.
Speaker 1: 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 1: It looks so good. It's shade O two. It's like
Speaker 1: the perfect bunny tongue pink. Has anyone seen bunny? Well
Speaker 1: 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 1: Oh, this is it, This is the way. So it's
Speaker 1: O two. 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 it's like these little, tiny,
Speaker 1: tiny sticks, but it lasts a really long time. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And 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 or like pigmentation is insane. Like, it's
Speaker 1: so good. I use this by itself and just the
Speaker 1: tiniest bit of blush before I go to UNI, and
Speaker 1: I look like I'm wearing no makeup, but I look
Speaker 1: really awake and just fresh. Well.
Speaker 2: I think Bobby Brown flies under the radar because we
Speaker 2: kind of forget about them as a brand, But their
Speaker 2: formulas are really good. I don't think I've tried a
Speaker 2: 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. Yeah, it's such a great product around. 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 1: It's such a good muscara.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, gracious, I think that this kind of
Speaker 2: tops every other mascara I've ever owned.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: And everyone's leaking. Yeah, everyone munches down their face, and
Speaker 1: my eyelashes were looking perfect. Actually, your whole makeup was Yeah,
Speaker 1: I said something exactly, but honestly, yeah, it's a great muscaa.
Speaker 1: It's not waterproof, however, it lasts so well in the
Speaker 1: like in the water, the rain. Yeah, so if you're crying,
Speaker 1: you know a good crying cryproof mosquitoes, it's a criproof
Speaker 1: Mouscaro is in toxic relationship, you should leave those leave him.
Speaker 1: In the first half 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 1: They're definitely on the social media scene. Okay, Now, the
Speaker 1: next product is like a launch that we're really looking
Speaker 1: forward to trying out in the second half of the year.
Speaker 1: New launch. It's a new launch. It's the Makeup Mario
Speaker 1: Serum Bronza. It's sixty two dollars from Sephora, and I
Speaker 1: honestly love makeup by Mario and we've spoken about them before.
Speaker 1: It's really really good brand, 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 1: 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. Yeah
Speaker 1: one hundred, so keep your eyes on this one. Yeah.
Speaker 1: The next SUP 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 blast far. But this is the Gisou hair mask.
Speaker 1: Itets 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, like
Speaker 1: in of conditioner, is just the best effect for my hair.
Speaker 1: I think this really turned my curls around. 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 1: Because the products are so beautiful and they've got so
Speaker 1: much like rich, incredible ingredients. It's so lux, but it's
Speaker 1: not like lux prices. It's like mid range. It's like, well,
Speaker 1: you can get hair products way more expensively. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: definitely the amount that you're getting as well, Like it's
Speaker 1: a big tub. It is a big tub, and it's
Speaker 1: 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 cults to come back to life. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and it brings them back. Honestly, a lot of products
Speaker 1: from Gifts You are amazing, So you should try them
Speaker 1: if you ever get the chance of really great Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love the packaging to it's so cute. It's so
Speaker 1: curly girl. Yeah. Okay, so we obviously have a favorite
Speaker 1: hair gel and it is the curly Girl Movement hairgel.
Speaker 1: It is the best on the market. I've never tried.
Speaker 1: To hell, it's the best hairdel on the market. I've
Speaker 1: never tried a hairshel that I like more than this,
Speaker 1: and it is a bit hard to get in Australia.
Speaker 1: That's the only downfall. Toread so annoying.
Speaker 2: But if you are going to you know, pay for shipping,
Speaker 2: you might as well got a few products from the brand.
Speaker 1: They also have a great haird 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 1: It's just so so good. Game changer. This one's a
Speaker 1: game changer. And then something new on the scene for
Speaker 1: us in 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 1: I love it. It's got three settings. It's got sensitive yeap, whitening, yeah, whitening,
Speaker 1: and then clean and clean. Yeah. I use the clean
Speaker 1: one every day. What do you use? Are used sensitive? Really? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Oh see, I'm like I I'm the type of girl
Speaker 1: who brushes her teeth for three minutes. Well, the first
Speaker 1: time I used an electric toothbrush, my mom, Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was like, what's going on? I was giggling because it
Speaker 1: tickled so much, Like it took me like three weeks
Speaker 1: to get used to the feeling of an electric toothbrush
Speaker 1: that's tickling so much. I've never like made myself feel
Speaker 1: ticklish before. I didn't think it was possible electric toothbrush.
Speaker 1: If you've never used it, Oh my gosh, I've never like,
Speaker 1: are you serious. I was like, it'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 1: You just replace the head and it lasts, like the
Speaker 1: 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 1: Bread is super cute. I love their marketing. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: I love how they're making like oral care really cute
Speaker 1: and fun exactly, Like it's making it like a little bit.
Speaker 2: Sexy, yeah, you know, little bit cutesye. Yeah, I really,
Speaker 2: I really like this toothbrush. I think if you're on
Speaker 2: the hunt for something new, stop buying those shitty ones
Speaker 2: that you throw out every three weeks.
Speaker 1: Just stop doing it. Just just buy one that's good.
Speaker 1: 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.
Speaker 1: The regular beauty like market. However, in the fragrance community,
Speaker 1: it is a niche fragrance and I'm obsessed with it.
Speaker 2: And it's actually an Arab fragrance, so you know, I
Speaker 2: feel nice and connected to our heritage and it is
Speaker 2: so delicious. It smells like a strawberry milkshake, so you're
Speaker 2: giving a bit of command with this, and it's called
Speaker 2: Yara from Latafa, and Latafa have so many amazing niche
Speaker 2: fragrances for like a nice affordable price, and they last
Speaker 2: longer than any.
Speaker 1: Luxury fragrance I've ever used. And I'll tell you something
Speaker 1: like these Arab perfumes they last like no other perfume
Speaker 1: that as on the normal market, like you said, but
Speaker 1: also they are way more affordable, way way way more affordable.
Speaker 1: And this is something that creeped in in early twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, Like every time we go to like the area,
Speaker 1: we're getting these Arab perfumes and actually they're like fifty
Speaker 1: dollars for this del smelling perfume that you can't find
Speaker 1: anywhere on your normal shelves. So if you want to
Speaker 1: push that into your second half of twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: we highly highly.
Speaker 2: Aren Yeah, and you can actually just get this off
Speaker 2: Amazon as well if you're not able to get in
Speaker 2: store like they have like little stores in Marylands or
Speaker 2: paramatter where you can buy this, But you can buy
Speaker 2: it 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 projection.
Speaker 1: Hige in projection.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so you're gonna smell like a really yummy gormand
Speaker 2: strawberry gal It's so delish.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really good to like you have this one
Speaker 1: in the car. Yeah, I do. So every time I'm
Speaker 1: driving your car and I forgot to book perfume on like,
Speaker 1: I'm like, yes, I'm in Jamie's car. Yeah. It's becoming
Speaker 1: like one of my signature sences. I really like them. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Okay, to wrap things up, this is a product that
Speaker 2: really flies under the radar as well. I want to
Speaker 2: bring it to the forefront of your minds because it
Speaker 2: is such an amazing moisturize up for your body and
Speaker 2: the smell is going to be really familiar to you guys, well.
Speaker 1: For the curly girl. Yeah. So this is Shay Moistures
Speaker 1: Coconut and high Biscus body lotion. They've got a hair
Speaker 1: product that like broke the internet because it was like
Speaker 1: one of the first curly masks on like the scene. Yeah,
Speaker 1: especially in Australia. And honestly, this is crazy because it
Speaker 1: has the exact same smell exact which is delicious, but
Speaker 1: for your body. And he kind of threw me off
Speaker 1: at first. I was like, is this a hair product? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Jesse was like what are you? Why are you using
Speaker 1: that in your bod? I was just using the active
Speaker 1: hair product on her body and I was like, whoa,
Speaker 1: 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 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 1: 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 1: Yeah. I think like there's so many categories in beauty
Speaker 1: these days, and there's so many ranges of products. So
Speaker 1: I'm loving new launchers, but we're also loving staples that
Speaker 1: we've had for years. Yeah. I feel like there's a
Speaker 1: good balance, you know what I mean, there's always a
Speaker 1: good balance.
Speaker 2: I'm really excited to see what the rest of twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four brings in terms of beauty. There's gonna be
Speaker 2: some super exciting things.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it will be a big second half. Definitely.
