  • The Beauty Lessons Pia Whitesell Wishes She’d Learned Sooner
    Oct 6 2025

    The former Home and Away star just revealed she'd "one thousand percent" discourage teenage modelling - despite winning Dolly's competition herself at 14.

    At 41, Pia Whitesell has never felt more comfortable in her skin, which is exactly why Olay chose her as their new ambassador. This week, Kelly's chatting with the actress about her complete beauty evolution and why the Hello Better Me campaign speaks to women who want progress over perfection.

    She's serving up some serious reality checks about the modelling industry, why becoming a mum changed everything about her beauty priorities, and how she's learned that "the most powerful beauty ritual is backing yourself." Plus, she spills on her Kardashian-level glam for her 40th birthday and opens up about learning to love the one facial quirk that used to make her feel insecure.

    PRODUCTS MENTIONED:

      Olay Collagen Peptide Cream $34

      Olay Ultra Firm Serum $34.99

      Red Light Therapy Bed

    • The Mecca Archive: Where History Is Written In Lipstick
      Sep 29 2025
      History is written in lipstick, not ink! This week we chat to Mecca's Chief Purpose Officer, Lisa Keenan, about the groundbreaking MECCA Archive, a tribute to the women, products, and defining moments that have shaped beauty culture since the year 2000. This archive isn't just about products; it's a living record of beauty's culture and its power of storytelling. We explore the most significant shifts of the last 25 years: the rise of wellness culture, the emergence of "skintelligence," and the no-makeup makeup phenomenon. Lisa shares the feminist framework behind the MECCA Archive, exploring why lipstick is a symbol of freedom and how social media helped consumers rewrite the beauty rulebook (and gave staff the courage to name the famous NARS blush!). Plus, she shares her personal routine and details on Mecca's exclusive archive collections.
