1
00:00:08,193 --> 00:00:10,914
Speaker 1: You're listening to a mom and mea podcast.

2
00:00:15,434 --> 00:00:19,954
Speaker 2: Makeup is my therapy. I'm obsessed and I don't even

3
00:00:19,954 --> 00:00:21,073
Speaker 2: feel guilty about it.

4
00:00:24,714 --> 00:00:26,914
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome back to The Fix.

5
00:00:26,994 --> 00:00:29,834
Speaker 2: I'm Kelly McCarran and I'm Amy Clark. She's come a

6
00:00:29,834 --> 00:00:33,034
Speaker 2: bit dirty, I mean she's a bit right off. The

7
00:00:33,074 --> 00:00:36,394
Speaker 2: dogs out today. We've both got a red shoe water. Yeah,

8
00:00:36,554 --> 00:00:39,553
Speaker 2: but we are speaking of dogs. We are talking about

9
00:00:39,793 --> 00:00:42,513
Speaker 2: a dog question. Yeah, we've got a dilemma about some

10
00:00:42,674 --> 00:00:46,234
Speaker 2: dry dogs with dogs. We are referring to the hoof

11
00:00:46,394 --> 00:00:49,873
Speaker 2: the feet. Yeah, if you will dogs out. Yeah, So

12
00:00:49,913 --> 00:00:53,834
Speaker 2: we've got a dilemma about the feet. We've got like

13
00:00:53,914 --> 00:00:59,114
Speaker 2: a relationship sleepover, first sleepover question. We've got some dupes, yeah,

14
00:00:59,314 --> 00:01:02,273
Speaker 2: like affordable skincare. Lots of great questions, so let's get

15
00:01:02,273 --> 00:01:06,314
Speaker 2: stuck in. I couldn't help, but wonder ask me anything.

16
00:01:06,394 --> 00:01:10,794
Speaker 2: You ask me a questions, all right. So question one,

17
00:01:11,634 --> 00:01:13,914
Speaker 2: I have a rogue beauty question on behalf of my

18
00:01:13,994 --> 00:01:16,034
Speaker 2: friend that came up at dinner. She was saying she

19
00:01:16,114 --> 00:01:19,994
Speaker 2: has some pigmentation and scarring from acney. She's just started

20
00:01:19,994 --> 00:01:22,714
Speaker 2: seeing a guy and that at the first sleepover stage,

21
00:01:22,794 --> 00:01:25,274
Speaker 2: so she wants to know is there anything she can

22
00:01:25,314 --> 00:01:27,634
Speaker 2: put over the top, so it's not quite so obvious.

23
00:01:28,194 --> 00:01:30,994
Speaker 2: But she also acknowledges that she knows you're not meant

24
00:01:30,994 --> 00:01:34,594
Speaker 2: to sleep in makeup products. So what are we thinking here?

25
00:01:35,274 --> 00:01:38,954
Speaker 3: Very great question, and first we need to acknowledge that

26
00:01:39,794 --> 00:01:44,714
Speaker 3: obviously it would be lovely if Anonymous was comfortable enough

27
00:01:44,754 --> 00:01:47,474
Speaker 3: to be like, to the hell with it, I'm going

28
00:01:47,554 --> 00:01:51,114
Speaker 3: to sleep in my natural bare askin because guaranteed he's

29
00:01:51,154 --> 00:01:53,674
Speaker 3: got some scarring, some pigmentation as well.

30
00:01:53,754 --> 00:01:55,954
Speaker 2: Exactly, we all know that, like the person that's meant

31
00:01:55,954 --> 00:01:59,034
Speaker 2: for you doesn't care about that in the long run.

32
00:01:59,074 --> 00:02:02,794
Speaker 3: However, we both also have been in the honeymoon stage,

33
00:02:02,834 --> 00:02:05,634
Speaker 3: the early stages of a relationship before we get it.

34
00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:08,634
Speaker 3: Sometimes you just feel a little bit self conscious. So

35
00:02:08,633 --> 00:02:10,714
Speaker 3: if something's going to make you feel that little bit

36
00:02:10,714 --> 00:02:13,474
Speaker 3: more confident, fantastic, whether or not that's waking up to

37
00:02:13,474 --> 00:02:14,234
Speaker 3: brush your teeth.

38
00:02:14,754 --> 00:02:16,794
Speaker 2: Yeah, what I was trying to think, what was that

39
00:02:16,914 --> 00:02:21,114
Speaker 2: movie where I feel like I was Bridesmaids Christenwig and

40
00:02:21,154 --> 00:02:22,794
Speaker 2: she's like, she like gets up and she's like she

41
00:02:23,034 --> 00:02:27,394
Speaker 2: sneaks up, she lays down and she's like and then

42
00:02:27,474 --> 00:02:29,154
Speaker 2: John Hammer rolls over and he's like.

43
00:02:29,754 --> 00:02:33,034
Speaker 3: And he goes at he's a dick, and he goes, oh,

44
00:02:33,074 --> 00:02:35,073
Speaker 3: you look so fresh, and then why do you sleep over?

45
00:02:35,434 --> 00:02:36,834
Speaker 2: She has to scale the gate.

46
00:02:36,834 --> 00:02:39,794
Speaker 3: Anyway, that's a great movie, Kristen WIGGI is fantastic.

47
00:02:41,114 --> 00:02:44,354
Speaker 2: Regardless, it's actually not that bad.

48
00:02:44,434 --> 00:02:46,594
Speaker 3: You're not wearing a full face of makeup, you're not

49
00:02:46,634 --> 00:02:48,554
Speaker 3: wearing eye makeup. You're not going to bed with a

50
00:02:48,594 --> 00:02:50,994
Speaker 3: big red lip on your face and then waking up

51
00:02:50,994 --> 00:02:54,274
Speaker 3: looking like the Joker. And so much makeup these days

52
00:02:54,354 --> 00:02:58,434
Speaker 3: actually has skincare benefits. I'm sure that she's still probably

53
00:02:58,434 --> 00:03:00,514
Speaker 3: doing her skincare. Maybe she's just putting a little bit

54
00:03:00,554 --> 00:03:03,314
Speaker 3: of concer over some areas so you're still getting all

55
00:03:03,354 --> 00:03:06,434
Speaker 3: the benefits. I really wouldn't worry too much about the makeup.

56
00:03:06,074 --> 00:03:09,913
Speaker 2: If it was every night. Think about how many times,

57
00:03:10,034 --> 00:03:12,114
Speaker 2: Look how many times you've gone to sleep with your

58
00:03:12,114 --> 00:03:13,954
Speaker 2: club ban cup still on? Like we all know you're

59
00:03:13,994 --> 00:03:17,194
Speaker 2: not meant to, but this is very different, Like I

60
00:03:17,314 --> 00:03:19,554
Speaker 2: just look different. Worry too much exactly? So what are

61
00:03:19,594 --> 00:03:20,914
Speaker 2: you going to recommend.

62
00:03:20,674 --> 00:03:21,913
Speaker 1: My favorite product?

63
00:03:22,394 --> 00:03:25,194
Speaker 3: When I was thinking about just something that you really

64
00:03:25,234 --> 00:03:28,034
Speaker 3: want to really quickly and easily just smoodge on a

65
00:03:28,034 --> 00:03:30,353
Speaker 3: few areas, blended in with your fingers.

66
00:03:30,394 --> 00:03:31,554
Speaker 1: You don't need, you don't want brushes.

67
00:03:31,594 --> 00:03:34,994
Speaker 3: You don't want it to look like make up, and

68
00:03:35,034 --> 00:03:37,754
Speaker 3: you want it to be you know how you cannot

69
00:03:37,794 --> 00:03:40,394
Speaker 3: wear I reckon ninety percent of concealers. You can't actually

70
00:03:40,394 --> 00:03:42,754
Speaker 3: wear them by themselves.

71
00:03:42,394 --> 00:03:46,714
Speaker 2: Unless they're like very like very low coverage.

72
00:03:46,394 --> 00:03:51,074
Speaker 3: Very low coverage, sheer, beautiful, seamless.

73
00:03:50,074 --> 00:03:54,074
Speaker 2: Almost like some illuminators, you know, like the Underreye Brightners.

74
00:03:54,314 --> 00:03:58,274
Speaker 2: Likes have come a long way though, And my favorite

75
00:03:58,274 --> 00:04:02,194
Speaker 2: would be the Bobby Brown Skin correct is still that's

76
00:04:02,234 --> 00:04:03,634
Speaker 2: literally my favorite.

77
00:04:03,674 --> 00:04:06,154
Speaker 3: It's so you know, the only I only discovered it

78
00:04:06,194 --> 00:04:08,914
Speaker 3: this time last year where we started doing New Beauty

79
00:04:08,914 --> 00:04:11,834
Speaker 3: Awards and we were testing so many different products and

80
00:04:11,874 --> 00:04:13,954
Speaker 3: that was sent in as a I didn't even think

81
00:04:13,954 --> 00:04:15,874
Speaker 3: it won anything, but for.

82
00:04:15,834 --> 00:04:19,594
Speaker 2: Me, yeah, that product is not a concealer. It's a

83
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:21,433
Speaker 2: correct like as you said, it's a correct to stick,

84
00:04:21,474 --> 00:04:23,674
Speaker 2: but it comes in all different yeats. So I've been

85
00:04:23,753 --> 00:04:26,993
Speaker 2: using the Shade extra Light bisc like I've got it

86
00:04:26,993 --> 00:04:29,594
Speaker 2: on today literally anytime I wear it, that's my concealer

87
00:04:29,633 --> 00:04:31,113
Speaker 2: and I have been using it for five years and

88
00:04:31,154 --> 00:04:34,034
Speaker 2: it's just the best wind up, draw it on.

89
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:34,553
Speaker 3: That's what I mean.

90
00:04:34,594 --> 00:04:36,073
Speaker 2: Wind it up. You draw it on the areas.

91
00:04:36,113 --> 00:04:38,153
Speaker 3: Then just with your finger, use the warmth from your

92
00:04:38,193 --> 00:04:42,113
Speaker 3: finger to tap, tap tap, and then it just you.

93
00:04:42,313 --> 00:04:44,674
Speaker 3: It's the best one that you just put it on

94
00:04:44,714 --> 00:04:46,753
Speaker 3: your skin and it doesn't look like you've got makeup on.

95
00:04:47,354 --> 00:04:50,153
Speaker 3: But I use it on my dark underreyes. Same and

96
00:04:50,154 --> 00:04:53,034
Speaker 3: then yeah, you would put on any redness exactly around

97
00:04:53,073 --> 00:04:56,553
Speaker 3: the nostril, just like, oh yeah, great wreck That's what

98
00:04:56,714 --> 00:05:00,674
Speaker 3: I personally would use. Then I was having a look online.

99
00:05:00,714 --> 00:05:03,393
Speaker 3: I got deep in the reddit threads on what other

100
00:05:03,433 --> 00:05:07,113
Speaker 3: people would recommend for someone that is just trying to

101
00:05:07,113 --> 00:05:09,513
Speaker 3: I do a little bit of something something but they

102
00:05:09,553 --> 00:05:12,073
Speaker 3: don't want to put other makeup on. And the two

103
00:05:12,113 --> 00:05:15,354
Speaker 3: ones that kept coming up were their house labs. Try

104
00:05:15,914 --> 00:05:20,313
Speaker 3: Clone skin Tech Consialer, which is fifty three dollars because

105
00:05:20,313 --> 00:05:22,753
Speaker 3: it's buildable. It looks really natural and samless, so you

106
00:05:22,753 --> 00:05:24,433
Speaker 3: can build it up to where is a full coverage

107
00:05:24,674 --> 00:05:27,033
Speaker 3: concealer if you're doing a full face and makeup, but

108
00:05:27,073 --> 00:05:29,794
Speaker 3: you can also just use little bits on your face

109
00:05:29,834 --> 00:05:32,274
Speaker 3: and then just use your finger and then the makeup

110
00:05:32,313 --> 00:05:36,034
Speaker 3: Forever HD skin Concealer oh yeah, fifty dollars looks really

111
00:05:36,113 --> 00:05:38,193
Speaker 3: natural and bare skin and blends easily.

112
00:05:38,993 --> 00:05:40,474
Speaker 1: So those were the two.

113
00:05:40,513 --> 00:05:45,513
Speaker 3: Main recommendations that I came across. Unfortunately, I couldn't find

114
00:05:45,594 --> 00:05:49,433
Speaker 3: a really good savy in the realm of something that's

115
00:05:49,513 --> 00:05:52,234
Speaker 3: just blendable and sheares out really nicely.

116
00:05:52,354 --> 00:05:55,553
Speaker 2: The other option could be obviously it depends on the

117
00:05:55,594 --> 00:05:58,753
Speaker 2: severity of the scarring and what the pigment looks like

118
00:05:58,834 --> 00:06:01,713
Speaker 2: in all of that, but the other option too. Sometimes

119
00:06:01,993 --> 00:06:04,513
Speaker 2: I have lots of freckles, and so sometimes I find

120
00:06:04,594 --> 00:06:07,073
Speaker 2: just like a product that gives a wash of color

121
00:06:07,354 --> 00:06:13,274
Speaker 2: and radiance, gives that overall effect that sometimes is when

122
00:06:13,313 --> 00:06:14,914
Speaker 2: you look at someone and you're like, oh, well, they

123
00:06:14,953 --> 00:06:18,273
Speaker 2: look vibrant, and then I'm not actually looking at the

124
00:06:18,313 --> 00:06:20,794
Speaker 2: pimples that they have, all the scarring that they have,

125
00:06:21,234 --> 00:06:24,594
Speaker 2: like the Revlon have like illuminating primers, I guess, or

126
00:06:24,633 --> 00:06:28,354
Speaker 2: like the Laurel Paris the glow tinto the home beauty primer,

127
00:06:28,753 --> 00:06:30,953
Speaker 2: Like you could do something like that where you it's

128
00:06:31,034 --> 00:06:33,314
Speaker 2: just on your fingers and you actually could sleep in that,

129
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,914
Speaker 2: like yes, don't have white pillows because you know, but

130
00:06:36,993 --> 00:06:39,873
Speaker 2: you could easily sleep in that and wake up just

131
00:06:39,914 --> 00:06:42,393
Speaker 2: to feel a bit more confident. And then also you're

132
00:06:42,393 --> 00:06:43,794
Speaker 2: going to have to figure out how to sleep on

133
00:06:43,834 --> 00:06:46,833
Speaker 2: your back, because otherwise, if you're going to put it

134
00:06:46,873 --> 00:06:50,234
Speaker 2: on before bed, it'll smush. Yeah, so you're going to

135
00:06:50,274 --> 00:06:52,514
Speaker 2: need to lie like a beautiful angel cord. I don't

136
00:06:52,513 --> 00:06:52,714
Speaker 2: think it.

137
00:06:52,794 --> 00:06:56,794
Speaker 3: Concialer would though, unless you're a real tosser and you

138
00:06:56,953 --> 00:06:58,594
Speaker 3: shmush that face into your pillow.

139
00:06:58,714 --> 00:07:01,834
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, maybe biding maybe another reason.

140
00:07:02,794 --> 00:07:05,234
Speaker 2: Oh okay, all right, next question.

141
00:07:09,994 --> 00:07:13,634
Speaker 3: All right, next question is about the dogs. I need

142
00:07:13,674 --> 00:07:17,554
Speaker 3: help with my feet the prom same sis. The problem

143
00:07:17,674 --> 00:07:19,554
Speaker 3: started before the summer holidays, and I.

144
00:07:19,514 --> 00:07:23,353
Speaker 2: Thought it would go away. Oh heavens no, but it hasn't.

145
00:07:23,434 --> 00:07:24,114
Speaker 2: So here we are.

146
00:07:24,194 --> 00:07:26,833
Speaker 3: I've been dealing with really dry skin around my big toes.

147
00:07:26,914 --> 00:07:31,514
Speaker 3: It looks terrible while wearing slides, thongs, heels, etc. My

148
00:07:31,674 --> 00:07:34,474
Speaker 3: toes look like crocodile skin or an actual desert.

149
00:07:34,994 --> 00:07:36,154
Speaker 1: It's way too hot to be.

150
00:07:36,074 --> 00:07:38,434
Speaker 3: Wearing closed shoes all the time, but it's all I

151
00:07:38,474 --> 00:07:40,314
Speaker 3: can see when the dogs are out.

152
00:07:40,674 --> 00:07:41,674
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fungal.

153
00:07:41,874 --> 00:07:44,914
Speaker 3: Please give me your crusty feet tips.

154
00:07:45,634 --> 00:07:48,354
Speaker 2: I literally could have, like I teach you right there, No,

155
00:07:48,554 --> 00:07:51,114
Speaker 2: but I could have and literally I was like I

156
00:07:51,114 --> 00:07:54,114
Speaker 2: wanted to get the dogs out like representation for.

157
00:07:55,074 --> 00:07:59,393

Speaker 2: Wow, someone puts.

Speaker 1: Some thick ointment on that drum.

168
00:08:29,594 --> 00:08:33,474
Speaker 2: Bitch. Yeah. So I have come prepared with the answer

169
00:08:33,514 --> 00:08:36,754
Speaker 2: for this, and I will say that for anonymous. Yeah

170
00:08:37,354 --> 00:08:41,674
Speaker 2: is it me? So I have this exact same issue.

171
00:08:41,754 --> 00:08:44,794
Speaker 2: I also around summertime, get on my hands. Your skin

172
00:08:44,874 --> 00:08:47,674
Speaker 2: does weird things at the change of season, Like sometimes

173
00:08:47,714 --> 00:08:50,674
Speaker 2: I'll just get a little flaky bits, a little bit

174
00:08:50,674 --> 00:08:53,234
Speaker 2: of exmera or whatever it is. But for just your

175
00:08:53,234 --> 00:08:56,034
Speaker 2: stock standard dryness. If we're not saying, you know, go

176
00:08:56,074 --> 00:08:58,794
Speaker 2: to your doctor if it might be fungal or you

177
00:08:58,874 --> 00:09:01,794
Speaker 2: might have dermatitis or something. But what I did for

178
00:09:01,874 --> 00:09:04,754
Speaker 2: my heels and what I have done for my toes,

179
00:09:04,794 --> 00:09:07,474
Speaker 2: but I need to do it more regularly because it's

180
00:09:07,514 --> 00:09:10,954
Speaker 2: like a chronic issue. Is two products that I've bought

181
00:09:10,954 --> 00:09:18,194
Speaker 2: with me today, both Chemist products like unsexy, really really good.

182
00:09:18,474 --> 00:09:23,554
Speaker 2: It's a two step that's pretty good. Step one is

183
00:09:23,594 --> 00:09:27,114
Speaker 2: this Heroes. I guess you pronounce it heroes h E

184
00:09:27,234 --> 00:09:30,634
Speaker 2: r O S. Is that the hard sponge thing? Yeah,

185
00:09:30,634 --> 00:09:35,034
Speaker 2: it's Chemists warehouse or wherever Kira potty sponge. It says

186
00:09:35,074 --> 00:09:38,354
Speaker 2: no creams, but you do. I think two step. This

187
00:09:38,474 --> 00:09:41,274
Speaker 2: is literally mine. I put it back in its box.

188
00:09:41,794 --> 00:09:43,874
Speaker 1: Oh is that got your footpits all over it?

189
00:09:44,314 --> 00:09:47,714
Speaker 2: No, it's just like like, yes, I've used this on

190
00:09:47,754 --> 00:09:48,114
Speaker 2: my feet.

191
00:09:48,194 --> 00:09:52,314
Speaker 3: This is a real spreading her footpits everyone, I'm not hey,

192
00:09:52,434 --> 00:09:53,754
Speaker 3: catch So.

193
00:09:55,274 --> 00:09:57,034
Speaker 2: This is pretty fresh. I only bought this maybe a

194
00:09:57,074 --> 00:09:59,714
Speaker 2: week ago. Okay, so like one yeah, but it actually

195
00:09:59,714 --> 00:10:01,754
Speaker 2: would be disintegrated if I kept using it for a

196
00:10:01,754 --> 00:10:04,074
Speaker 2: really long time. You've got to replace them. But they're

197
00:10:04,274 --> 00:10:08,354
Speaker 2: two dollars ishy, like literally three dollars for dollars, so cheap.

198
00:10:08,554 --> 00:10:11,874
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna do like a little in the mic

199
00:10:11,994 --> 00:10:16,354
Speaker 2: for some so you can hear what it's like. But

200
00:10:17,194 --> 00:10:20,714
Speaker 2: it's essentially like a callous sander thing. Oh, but it's

201
00:10:20,794 --> 00:10:25,434
Speaker 2: so much better than any other foot exfoliated brick thing

202
00:10:25,474 --> 00:10:28,874
Speaker 2: that I've tried. It's porous, and how they say to

203
00:10:29,074 --> 00:10:32,354
Speaker 2: use it is actually apply your body wash or whatever,

204
00:10:32,514 --> 00:10:36,833
Speaker 2: pump it onto the actual block. Oh and you lather so.

205
00:10:36,874 --> 00:10:38,634
Speaker 1: Just gone and raw dog my foot.

206
00:10:39,514 --> 00:10:42,514
Speaker 2: Well, no wonder, heels look so traumatized.

207
00:10:43,874 --> 00:10:45,953
Speaker 3: I also like to hack at it sometimes with the

208
00:10:46,074 --> 00:10:47,514
Speaker 3: many care corn remover that.

209
00:10:47,674 --> 00:10:51,354
Speaker 2: Don't do that, dear listener, do this. You apply your

210
00:10:51,394 --> 00:10:53,474
Speaker 2: product on here so you lube it up, and then

211
00:10:53,474 --> 00:10:57,434
Speaker 2: you actually just get in there and all around. It works.

212
00:10:57,514 --> 00:11:00,234
Speaker 2: It is so effective. So that's step one.

213
00:11:00,354 --> 00:11:02,074
Speaker 1: Would it be effective on mine? Or do you think

214
00:11:02,074 --> 00:11:03,474
Speaker 1: I need some professional help?

215
00:11:03,634 --> 00:11:05,994
Speaker 2: We could literally do We could literally go and do

216
00:11:06,074 --> 00:11:08,474
Speaker 2: this in the bathroom here in the office and you

217
00:11:08,514 --> 00:11:11,474
Speaker 2: would come afresh. You've got a wedding this so I

218
00:11:11,554 --> 00:11:14,634
Speaker 2: know I've got wedding to get to. Yeah. Anyways, a

219
00:11:14,674 --> 00:11:16,674
Speaker 2: great time to do that. So that's step one. You're

220
00:11:16,714 --> 00:11:19,714
Speaker 2: doing that in the shower. Then step two is at

221
00:11:19,794 --> 00:11:23,754
Speaker 2: night you are using a heel balm products like an

222
00:11:23,834 --> 00:11:27,394
Speaker 2: actual foot cream because it's got one of your favorite

223
00:11:27,514 --> 00:11:33,794
Speaker 2: ingredientsnt Urea is amazing for chronically dry skin. That's how

224
00:11:33,834 --> 00:11:35,594
Speaker 2: I think it came to be in a lot of

225
00:11:35,634 --> 00:11:38,914
Speaker 2: facial skin care. We've been using it in wound healing.

226
00:11:39,154 --> 00:11:40,554
Speaker 2: Using it on your feet.

227
00:11:40,634 --> 00:11:44,794
Speaker 3: It's also mildly exfoliating, so it will actually remove some

228
00:11:44,874 --> 00:11:47,074
Speaker 3: of that dead skin, especially if you've sort of already

229
00:11:47,754 --> 00:11:49,594
Speaker 3: up with your Yeah, it helps to just.

230
00:11:49,634 --> 00:11:52,314
Speaker 2: Keep breaking it down. I really like the dermal therapy

231
00:11:52,594 --> 00:11:55,114
Speaker 2: heel products. You can get one in a stick that's

232
00:11:55,194 --> 00:11:58,354
Speaker 2: even less mess so it's actually like a heel roll

233
00:11:58,394 --> 00:12:00,754
Speaker 2: on balm like a deodorant. But I really like to

234
00:12:00,794 --> 00:12:03,674
Speaker 2: do a very thick layer of this and put my

235
00:12:03,754 --> 00:12:05,994
Speaker 2: socks on. That's just like an old school beauty trick,

236
00:12:06,114 --> 00:12:08,634
Speaker 2: you know, lather up your feet with moisturized and put

237
00:12:08,714 --> 00:12:12,274
Speaker 2: socks on overnight. It seals it all in. Wake up

238
00:12:13,034 --> 00:12:16,514
Speaker 2: and tell me your feet don't look delicious. So delicious

239
00:12:16,554 --> 00:12:18,194
Speaker 2: is a stretch. I was gonna say kissable.

240
00:12:18,314 --> 00:12:20,834
Speaker 1: Oh I'm not into the foot.

241
00:12:20,634 --> 00:12:23,194
Speaker 2: Stuff and I'm not gonna yuck anyone else's yum. That

242
00:12:23,234 --> 00:12:26,514
Speaker 2: would be my recommendation for a great smooth feet tack.

243
00:12:26,634 --> 00:12:34,474
Speaker 2: So give that a go. Okay, helpful question number three today,

244
00:12:35,314 --> 00:12:37,634
Speaker 2: I feel like this is going to resonate with a

245
00:12:37,754 --> 00:12:41,114
Speaker 2: lot of people. And also they say they posted this

246
00:12:41,154 --> 00:12:45,074
Speaker 2: anonymously because they're embarrassed. Do not be embarrassed about this,

247
00:12:45,154 --> 00:12:45,674
Speaker 2: just straight.

248
00:12:45,554 --> 00:12:48,034
Speaker 3: Off the bat, this happens to everyone, including us, and

249
00:12:48,074 --> 00:12:49,394
Speaker 3: we get some things for free.

250
00:12:49,634 --> 00:12:53,514
Speaker 2: Yes literally. So the question goes, what do people do

251
00:12:53,594 --> 00:12:56,234
Speaker 2: when they struggle to afford their skincare. I don't treat

252
00:12:56,274 --> 00:12:58,953
Speaker 2: myself too much, but I've started focusing on my skin

253
00:12:59,074 --> 00:13:01,554
Speaker 2: and now the time has rolled around to replace everything,

254
00:13:01,594 --> 00:13:03,674
Speaker 2: and I just don't have the funds to do so

255
00:13:04,114 --> 00:13:06,354
Speaker 2: do Most people look for cheaper products that do the

256
00:13:06,354 --> 00:13:09,953
Speaker 2: same job. It's really daunting changing skin care. When you

257
00:13:10,034 --> 00:13:13,034
Speaker 2: found something that finally works for you and then they've

258
00:13:13,074 --> 00:13:17,274
Speaker 2: added I'm specifically after alternatives to bare minerals, but a

259
00:13:17,354 --> 00:13:20,314
Speaker 2: drench kills, old face cream, touch, a rice wash, and

260
00:13:20,314 --> 00:13:24,833
Speaker 2: the glow recipehyaleronic serum. It is so hard because when

261
00:13:24,874 --> 00:13:27,554
Speaker 2: you do find something that works, whether it's a spendye

262
00:13:27,594 --> 00:13:30,074
Speaker 2: or a savye, you don't want to be switching. And

263
00:13:30,114 --> 00:13:33,634
Speaker 2: you shouldn't be switching your products super regularly, like the

264
00:13:33,674 --> 00:13:37,034
Speaker 2: average person shouldn't be chopping and changing and chopping and changing.

265
00:13:37,794 --> 00:13:39,914
Speaker 3: They shouldn't, but I do think it's okay to chop

266
00:13:39,954 --> 00:13:42,354
Speaker 3: and change, especially when it comes to the purpose or

267
00:13:42,434 --> 00:13:43,634
Speaker 3: specific in.

268
00:13:43,634 --> 00:13:45,594
Speaker 2: The category in the same category family.

269
00:13:45,634 --> 00:13:48,514
Speaker 3: So I wouldn't worry too much about your skin, sort

270
00:13:48,514 --> 00:13:51,194
Speaker 3: of unless you're very ecnic, but I don't think you

271
00:13:51,274 --> 00:13:53,834
Speaker 3: are from the products that you've said you're using. I

272
00:13:53,874 --> 00:13:56,954
Speaker 3: don't think that you need to worry too much about

273
00:13:57,634 --> 00:14:01,274
Speaker 3: your skin suddenly having a meltdown because you're not changing

274
00:14:01,314 --> 00:14:05,714
Speaker 3: the actual steps or the ingredients your skin.

275
00:14:06,074 --> 00:14:09,234
Speaker 2: The first step of advice is like, stick to the

276
00:14:09,274 --> 00:14:12,634
Speaker 2: same structure of your routine, look for the same family

277
00:14:12,754 --> 00:14:14,474
Speaker 2: of ingredients exactly.

278
00:14:14,514 --> 00:14:17,394
Speaker 3: And there's just there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Things

279
00:14:17,474 --> 00:14:21,194
Speaker 3: are so expensive. I know that I sound ridiculous still

280
00:14:21,194 --> 00:14:23,874
Speaker 3: going on about it, but I cannot believe that a

281
00:14:23,914 --> 00:14:26,994
Speaker 3: packet of chips can be upwards it can be around

282
00:14:26,994 --> 00:14:30,194
Speaker 3: eight dollars these days, like and half full of air literally,

283
00:14:30,234 --> 00:14:33,674
Speaker 3: Like it's horrifying when we think about how much things

284
00:14:33,674 --> 00:14:36,154
Speaker 3: have gone up, even just the past couple of years,

285
00:14:36,714 --> 00:14:39,754
Speaker 3: no one's salaries have increased even a fraction of the

286
00:14:39,794 --> 00:14:41,474
Speaker 3: amount inflation.

287
00:14:41,594 --> 00:14:43,794
Speaker 2: Preach Preach, But we're not a finance podcast.

288
00:14:43,834 --> 00:14:45,674
Speaker 1: We definitely are not sure the.

289
00:14:45,634 --> 00:14:48,114
Speaker 2: Other thing too. We've spoken about this on an episode

290
00:14:48,154 --> 00:14:51,434
Speaker 2: of the Formula when you interviewed me about kind of

291
00:14:51,714 --> 00:14:55,034
Speaker 2: beauty insider secrets is a lot of your favorite high

292
00:14:55,114 --> 00:14:57,914
Speaker 2: end brands are made by the same parent companies in

293
00:14:57,954 --> 00:15:02,154
Speaker 2: the same labs as the affordable chemist brand products. So

294
00:15:02,514 --> 00:15:05,674
Speaker 2: it's much for muchness in terms of Obviously there's lots

295
00:15:05,714 --> 00:15:09,314
Speaker 2: of differences that contribute, but it's not like ones being

296
00:15:09,634 --> 00:15:11,594
Speaker 2: made in a back alley and the other ones being

297
00:15:11,634 --> 00:15:14,474
Speaker 2: made in the pristine lab. There's so many good options now.

298
00:15:14,394 --> 00:15:18,394
Speaker 3: Exactly, So let's run through your products. I spent hours

299
00:15:18,554 --> 00:15:19,314
Speaker 3: preparing for.

300
00:15:19,234 --> 00:15:23,714
Speaker 2: This, but if one comes to mind, but just.

301
00:15:23,674 --> 00:15:26,114
Speaker 3: So you know, like I've done my due diligence for you,

302
00:15:26,154 --> 00:15:29,794
Speaker 3: Anonymous to find like I've been deep in the Reddit threads,

303
00:15:30,194 --> 00:15:32,994
Speaker 3: I was like comparing ingredients on chat Jubert. So I

304
00:15:33,034 --> 00:15:35,554
Speaker 3: do hope that we've come up with some good alternatives

305
00:15:35,594 --> 00:15:39,154
Speaker 3: for you. So first up, I've got the Bare Minerals,

306
00:15:39,154 --> 00:15:42,034
Speaker 3: Butter Drench and the Kills Ultra facecram. I've kind of

307
00:15:42,034 --> 00:15:44,154
Speaker 3: put them together, so it's seventy eight dollars and seventy

308
00:15:44,194 --> 00:15:47,274
Speaker 3: two dollars respectively for fifty meals for those products. They

309
00:15:47,274 --> 00:15:50,114
Speaker 3: are very similar yes products, so I'm not sure if

310
00:15:50,154 --> 00:15:52,674
Speaker 3: Anonymous is using the Morning and Night even though they're

311
00:15:52,754 --> 00:15:55,474
Speaker 3: quite similar, or just like in shit loves them both,

312
00:15:55,634 --> 00:15:58,474
Speaker 3: loves them both. They're about the same price. The thing

313
00:15:58,474 --> 00:16:01,674
Speaker 3: about these products aren't they are so beautiful. I love them,

314
00:16:01,994 --> 00:16:06,674
Speaker 3: but they aren't that special in terms of a hero ingredient.

315
00:16:06,874 --> 00:16:09,514
Speaker 3: That means that it needs to cost so much.

316
00:16:09,594 --> 00:16:11,714
Speaker 2: Texture with a moisturizer too.

317
00:16:11,834 --> 00:16:16,034
Speaker 3: Exactly, and these both are beautiful rich. The butt one

318
00:16:16,074 --> 00:16:19,154
Speaker 3: is kind of more fluffy and whipped, but what you're

319
00:16:19,194 --> 00:16:22,034
Speaker 3: looking for is just a really great moisturizer here. So

320
00:16:22,154 --> 00:16:25,994
Speaker 3: the most expensive one as an alternative is the Noturium

321
00:16:26,274 --> 00:16:29,794
Speaker 3: Multi Peptide rich Cream for forty seven dollars. That one

322
00:16:30,034 --> 00:16:34,034
Speaker 3: is probably got the most similar in terms of peptides

323
00:16:34,994 --> 00:16:38,714
Speaker 3: and quality of the nourishing ingredients. However, I'd say it's

324
00:16:38,714 --> 00:16:41,874
Speaker 3: even a little bit thicker, but once you actually start

325
00:16:41,994 --> 00:16:43,994
Speaker 3: using it, you'll see that it smooths out like it's

326
00:16:44,074 --> 00:16:46,914
Speaker 3: not too thick. It's honestly one of my favorite moisturizers.

327
00:16:46,954 --> 00:16:50,754
Speaker 3: I just love it. In fact, all of these top

328
00:16:50,794 --> 00:16:53,034
Speaker 3: three ones that I'm going to talk about are three

329
00:16:53,034 --> 00:16:55,874
Speaker 3: of my favorite moisturizers. So there's that one forty seven dollars.

330
00:16:56,034 --> 00:16:59,434
Speaker 3: Then we've got the Olay Collagen Peptide cream. Now full

331
00:16:59,474 --> 00:17:02,234
Speaker 3: price is one sixty dollars, so it's almost the same price,

332
00:17:02,314 --> 00:17:05,034
Speaker 3: but you never pay full price. For full price, it's

333
00:17:05,033 --> 00:17:09,354
Speaker 3: at Woolworst Coals, Big w It's everywhere for half price,

334
00:17:09,674 --> 00:17:11,994
Speaker 3: so thirty dollars you'll always find it for. This was

335
00:17:12,034 --> 00:17:13,994
Speaker 3: one of my favorite products from last year. I don't

336
00:17:13,994 --> 00:17:17,394
Speaker 3: know if you remember that episode. Key Resell's Friend of

337
00:17:17,434 --> 00:17:20,674
Speaker 3: the Pod got me onto it and it is magic

338
00:17:20,714 --> 00:17:23,074
Speaker 3: in a little tub. It's such a good moisturizer. The

339
00:17:23,154 --> 00:17:26,154
Speaker 3: QV Nightcream you can full price, it's about twenty five dollars.

340
00:17:26,194 --> 00:17:28,434
Speaker 3: You can always pick that up from chemist Warehouse or whatnot.

341
00:17:28,474 --> 00:17:30,513
Speaker 2: Pure has really stepped it up in terms of the

342
00:17:30,594 --> 00:17:31,634
Speaker 2: facial skincare.

343
00:17:32,114 --> 00:17:35,194
Speaker 3: This is an unsung hero the QV Nightcream is. So

344
00:17:35,754 --> 00:17:40,794
Speaker 3: it's just a no fuss, beautifully nourishing cream that you

345
00:17:40,994 --> 00:17:43,354
Speaker 3: will love if you love those two other ones, and

346
00:17:43,594 --> 00:17:47,234
Speaker 3: finally one that I haven't actually tried, but I've read.

347
00:17:47,394 --> 00:17:49,674
Speaker 2: I've got two that come to mind that I have tried. Okay,

348
00:17:50,074 --> 00:17:52,553
Speaker 2: unless you want to sell the one that you haven't the.

349
00:17:52,674 --> 00:17:56,754
Speaker 3: Ordinary moisturizing factor is only ten dollars and seventy cents

350
00:17:56,794 --> 00:17:57,394
Speaker 3: for thirty mils.

351
00:17:57,434 --> 00:17:58,833
Speaker 1: Everything else has been fifty.

352
00:17:59,594 --> 00:18:01,634
Speaker 3: Now. I haven't tried it, so I can't speak to it,

353
00:18:01,714 --> 00:18:04,273
Speaker 3: but in terms of ingredients and how it feels, a

354
00:18:04,354 --> 00:18:06,714
Speaker 3: lot of people online were saying it's quite similar to

355
00:18:06,834 --> 00:18:08,714
Speaker 3: those really rich creams.

356
00:18:08,914 --> 00:18:11,793
Speaker 2: Yeah, so many good options. Another one, literally, just as

357
00:18:11,834 --> 00:18:15,274
Speaker 2: you were speaking, I was transported to the chemist aisle

358
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:18,154
Speaker 2: and you were like, yeah, what is it. There's one

359
00:18:18,474 --> 00:18:22,674
Speaker 2: brand Daily skin Care Double Seramide Miracle night Cream. That one.

360
00:18:22,794 --> 00:18:25,194
Speaker 2: It comes in a oh yeah, got it up here.

361
00:18:25,234 --> 00:18:28,474
Speaker 2: It comes in this tub. The packaging doesn't feel super luxe,

362
00:18:28,554 --> 00:18:31,074
Speaker 2: but it's I mean neither discute, no, but it's that

363
00:18:31,394 --> 00:18:33,034
Speaker 2: you know, you get your finger in there and it's

364
00:18:33,074 --> 00:18:37,274
Speaker 2: that first real comforting kind of comforting comforting and it's

365
00:18:37,314 --> 00:18:40,674
Speaker 2: silky in it. Yeah, it really transforms as it melts down.

366
00:18:41,154 --> 00:18:43,794
Speaker 2: Similar texture. And then Sarah V actually have a really

367
00:18:43,874 --> 00:18:47,513
Speaker 2: good moisturizer. It's in a pot. It's in the range

368
00:18:47,554 --> 00:18:50,874
Speaker 2: with their retinole and their vitamin C with the purple one.

369
00:18:50,954 --> 00:18:54,634
Speaker 2: It's a nice cinnamid cream. That one has a very

370
00:18:54,714 --> 00:18:55,714
Speaker 2: similar texture.

371
00:18:55,434 --> 00:18:59,674
Speaker 1: To comforting is the best way to describe the texture that. Yes,

372
00:19:00,154 --> 00:19:00,714
Speaker 1: this person, I.

373
00:19:00,714 --> 00:19:02,554
Speaker 2: Didn't do my homework with the prices, but I know

374
00:19:02,714 --> 00:19:06,954
Speaker 2: that under twenty dollars at the chemist. Okay, sorry, continue

375
00:19:06,954 --> 00:19:08,194
Speaker 2: with your recommendations.

376
00:19:08,754 --> 00:19:12,074
Speaker 3: The next one was the Toucher rice wash, which is

377
00:19:12,114 --> 00:19:15,314
Speaker 3: sixty nine dollars for one twenty Funnily enough, this is

378
00:19:15,394 --> 00:19:19,434
Speaker 3: actually the one that I would not worry as much

379
00:19:19,554 --> 00:19:24,154
Speaker 3: about replacing because cleansa just lasts so long. Like it's

380
00:19:24,194 --> 00:19:26,354
Speaker 3: sixty nine dollars, but that will last you twelve to

381
00:19:26,434 --> 00:19:29,033
Speaker 3: eighteen months because you just need such a little amount

382
00:19:29,074 --> 00:19:32,674
Speaker 3: of cleanser. So even though it is expensive, something's going

383
00:19:32,714 --> 00:19:34,354
Speaker 3: to wash down the sink. When you find something that

384
00:19:34,434 --> 00:19:36,834
Speaker 3: you really like, I often think to stick with it or.

385
00:19:36,954 --> 00:19:40,553
Speaker 2: Just use it for nighttime and switch to something lighter,

386
00:19:40,834 --> 00:19:43,513
Speaker 2: more affordable, yeah, during the day or something like that

387
00:19:43,714 --> 00:19:44,474
Speaker 2: for morning.

388
00:19:44,514 --> 00:19:47,634
Speaker 1: Or just water like I sometimes I just I only

389
00:19:47,834 --> 00:19:48,634
Speaker 1: se water in the morning.

390
00:19:49,434 --> 00:19:53,994
Speaker 3: Two alternatives that I did find were the Face Shop

391
00:19:54,154 --> 00:19:56,994
Speaker 3: Rice water cleanser, so that's fifteen dollars for one hundred

392
00:19:57,034 --> 00:20:00,874
Speaker 3: and fifty meals, and then Moogu hydrating cleanser, which comes

393
00:20:00,914 --> 00:20:04,834
Speaker 3: in a pump, which I love that is fifteen dollars

394
00:20:04,834 --> 00:20:07,754
Speaker 3: and eight nineteens for two hundred and fifty meals. Maybe

395
00:20:07,874 --> 00:20:10,554
Speaker 3: purchase one of those to give a try, and if

396
00:20:10,554 --> 00:20:11,914
Speaker 3: you really like it for the morning, then maybe you

397
00:20:11,954 --> 00:20:13,874
Speaker 3: could switch to nighttime as well when you run out

398
00:20:13,874 --> 00:20:17,194
Speaker 3: of your tucha. Finally, we've got the glow recipe Plum

399
00:20:17,634 --> 00:20:21,234
Speaker 3: Plump hyaluronic serum. This is a beautiful serum, sixty six

400
00:20:21,274 --> 00:20:24,674
Speaker 3: dollars for thirty meals. It's funny because this hyaluronic serum

401
00:20:24,794 --> 00:20:30,274
Speaker 3: actually has a thicker consistency texture than a traditional hyaluronic serum,

402
00:20:30,514 --> 00:20:32,874
Speaker 3: which is why I wanted to be quite specific about

403
00:20:32,874 --> 00:20:35,154
Speaker 3: what I recommended, because I think she likes that texture,

404
00:20:35,394 --> 00:20:38,793
Speaker 3: the texture, rather than get any old haha, any old haha.

405
00:20:38,994 --> 00:20:41,114
Speaker 3: You can get one for under fifteen dollars if you

406
00:20:41,154 --> 00:20:43,234
Speaker 3: go into the pharmacy, but I think she likes this.

407
00:20:43,554 --> 00:20:45,954
Speaker 2: The Korean esque kind of Yeah.

408
00:20:46,834 --> 00:20:51,074
Speaker 3: So the Fido Musin Glow serum is thirty dollars for

409
00:20:51,194 --> 00:20:53,274
Speaker 3: forty meals from Sephora.

410
00:20:53,714 --> 00:20:54,714
Speaker 1: That's from BioMA.

411
00:20:55,274 --> 00:20:59,034
Speaker 2: Oh, I'd love that brand. It's so coul packaging and

412
00:20:59,034 --> 00:21:00,754
Speaker 2: at least you get that hit of I don't know

413
00:21:00,794 --> 00:21:03,034
Speaker 2: if you meant it to be that way. But part

414
00:21:03,074 --> 00:21:05,514
Speaker 2: of the glow recipe appeal is that it's like fun

415
00:21:05,634 --> 00:21:08,194
Speaker 2: and the packaging's call oh the biominster.

416
00:21:08,394 --> 00:21:10,834
Speaker 3: Yeah, the BioMA is really like fun packaging. It is

417
00:21:10,994 --> 00:21:14,793
Speaker 3: so fun, bright colors, like really cute. Then, of course,

418
00:21:15,394 --> 00:21:18,474
Speaker 3: og advanced snail musein power essence. You can get it

419
00:21:18,594 --> 00:21:21,834
Speaker 3: generally for twenty bucks for one hundred mills. The causarx, Yes,

420
00:21:21,954 --> 00:21:22,834
Speaker 3: the causaics are the.

421
00:21:22,994 --> 00:21:25,514
Speaker 1: Sticky, sticky sticky exactly.

422
00:21:25,594 --> 00:21:28,474
Speaker 3: So that's obviously not vegan friendly because it's made from

423
00:21:28,714 --> 00:21:33,234
Speaker 3: snail musin, whereas the phidromusin Glossium biobioma is vegan because

424
00:21:33,234 --> 00:21:37,754
Speaker 3: it's a plant derived one. Then apparently the Dermavine hydrating serum,

425
00:21:37,794 --> 00:21:40,313
Speaker 3: which is eighteen dollars for thirty meals, is very similar

426
00:21:40,394 --> 00:21:44,394
Speaker 3: as well. But they're all that little bit more umph

427
00:21:44,594 --> 00:21:47,874
Speaker 3: than a traditional hate cha serum because they just offer

428
00:21:49,074 --> 00:21:55,274
Speaker 3: just a little bit more plumpness, jewiness, juiciness into your skin.

429
00:21:55,594 --> 00:21:58,434
Speaker 2: Yeah, so the bounce, the bounce, you get the bounce

430
00:21:58,514 --> 00:22:03,874
Speaker 2: on application rather than the tachy serum like feeling from say,

431
00:22:03,954 --> 00:22:08,154
Speaker 2: like other really great affordable hate chase exactly, Kelly, that

432
00:22:08,354 --> 00:22:11,674
Speaker 2: is some real due diligence set. Thank you for yourself anytime.

433
00:22:11,994 --> 00:22:14,274
Speaker 1: That's what I'm here for, and thank you so much

434
00:22:14,354 --> 00:22:15,154
Speaker 1: for flying up.

435

Speaker 2: I've got to help fix some beauty. And if anyone

Speaker 2: have a question that you're embarrassed to ask your friends,

447
00:22:58,354 --> 00:23:01,954
Speaker 3: recorded this podcast on the Gadigal people of the ear Orination.

448
00:23:02,434 --> 00:23:04,954
Speaker 3: We pay our respects to their elders past and present

449
00:23:05,354 --> 00:23:08,874
Speaker 3: and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torrestrait Island

450
00:23:08,914 --> 00:23:09,434
Speaker 3: are cultures
