And this is Two Broke Chicks, the show that shares life lessons for the gals, from the gals and welcome to another mini-episode of Add to Cart, where we are joined by our guests and chat all of their shopping addictions favourite products shopping regrets, always our favourite. And today we are joined by the gorgeous, stunning, brave, unique JGR and Jackson West founders and co-host of Happy Hour and of course best friends Lucy Jackson and Nikki Wescott. What's up?
Alright, let's kick things off. What are three products in your beauty bag that you cannot live without? And why?
Lucy Jackson
beauty bag one.
Nikki Westcott
You got to ship makeup. Oh my beauty bags very small so I can probably bang this out quite quickly. I am loving the by Terry CC cream. There's sunny flash one. I put that on underneath my foundation. It's like a serum. But it's a real bronzy I love it. I love Marc Jacobs mascara. I love it comes off really easy. It's got a really good brush so it has like a natural finish. And I love lipliner Mac either world or what's my other usual and spice at all.
Lucy Jackson
I just recently got a new thing that I wear underneath my foundation too, which is the Mac illuminating like primary but not right. It's more than primer. I got there recently and I really like it. So I'd say that Estee Lauder double wear foundation. Okay, preaching to the choir, which is like pretty hardcore to wear everyday but alas I do and I would probably say like it's not like a brand but like I literally just cannot leave the house without wearing mascara. If I'm wearing makeup. Like I just feel like you I have bald otherwise. Yeah,
Alex Hourigan
it completes a lot. Yeah, like a naked mole rat. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Like, oh, God, I look sick.
Sally McMullen
Like, Victorian John,
Alex Hourigan
like no. All right, what is the item in your wardrobe that's like your go to that you could never ever get rid of
Lucy Jackson
probably my leather jacket. I've had my leather jacket for a really long time. It's just like a biker. It's not actually the one I'm wearing. But it's like a real genuine leather biker jacket that I probably bought when we were like, what? 25 So I've had it for seven years. I don't wear it all the time. But it would be one thing I would never throw out. Yeah.
Sally McMullen
If that makes sense. That's like a staple to like a biker jacket is never gonna go out of style. No, and they look cooler with age to
Alex Hourigan
less. It's just easy. Like when you like go to dress on just check it on. Like if you're going out for drinks. So then if you're going to work you can just
Nikki Westcott
you don't need a new leather jacket. If you've got a good man. Yeah, like it's kind of like the same shit. Yeah, mine would be and now that I'm reflecting on like, I haven't worn them in a while but it's because I'm into baggy so much more. But I've got a pair of like really nice, like washed vintage CALVIN KLEIN JEANS that I got taken like altered to suit me more. And I love them. So like they literally just fit me it's great.
Alex Hourigan
How good is getting a pair of jeans and like getting them tailored to fit you. So literally my toxic trait was buying like I think I have nine pairs of like the same blue jeans, but I was like the fit just doesn't here. Yeah. And then like finally got them tailored. And I was like okay, we're really good. On Depop
Sally McMullen
Yeah. Okay, our favourite question, what is the worst or stupidest thing you've ever bought online.
Lucy Jackson
I was actually thinking about this the other day, I bought a pair of YSL heels once for our live show that we did two years ago. And it's I don't regret it. It wasn't a stupid purchase, but because they're so bougie and expensive kind of thing. I would never just wear them on a night out, which is when I would usually wear like a heel because by the end of the night, most of the time they're in my hand while I run around dancing on tables. So they were kind of like void because it's like I I'm too if I'm wearing heels it's because I'm doing something really fun. Yeah, do you know what I mean? I'm not wearing heels to like work or to like I'm not like one of those ladies that goes to a lunch for three drinks and then that's it so my long haul Yeah, that's probably been my most high
Alex Hourigan
costs Yeah, low
Lucy Jackson
wear purchase I've ever made
Nikki Westcott
one recently that I did that I just kind of really looked at and went but the because I went to Europe and you will it's like like that panic buyer. I need a Euro out like a Euro wardrobe like it's winter here like every time it gets into like a new season. I really have to like retrain myself on what I even like wearing Yeah, so I'm in the peak of winter going over Europe and so I just like put a big order through. I'm Princess Polly.
Lucy Jackson
She bought into so much
Nikki Westcott
shit like I had packages coming in like Fucking three a day. Like, I'll just take things back if I don't wear them. But I got this one little singlet and I just like cleaned out my closet again and it was still in its bag I took it to Europe didn't get out of its bag came back. And upon reflection like yeah, it had some nice colours in it but it kind of looks like an Ed Hardy singlet My God, I really looked at it and I went, In what world going to wear this and then I just can't cut it around for three weeks in Europe. Something that I would never wear ever in my life anyway. Like this little moment where I went, Oh, that was weird.
Lucy Jackson
Hold on, like, panic buying before something big. And then you
Nikki Westcott
just realised I can imagine me in that just like with my bikini bottoms, like at the beach for sure. Yeah, yeah, what was going on? I
Alex Hourigan
do that all the time. And like Sal and I both have like giant babies, like I have an E cup. And so then like, I'll buy something and the cup size on the actual things like this big and
Nikki Westcott
I'll squeeze him in.
Lucy Jackson
Like, what about when you're packing to overseas, and I've done this before, when we were a bit younger, and it's like, oh, you know what, maybe I'll will wear those brown PU leather flare pants that I've never worn at home. But I bought three years ago, I reckon I actually am going to wear that in the peak of summer. So I'm gonna pack that. And it's even more of a stinger when it's something you've just kept New and then you'd like pay all this money to just cut it around.
Alex Hourigan
To do that all the time. I'll pack like three different colours of cowboy boots and not wear a single one.
Lucy Jackson
We've gotten really good at packing I reckon in the last like year or two. I don't know how because obviously, it's been COVID. So it's not like I've done a heap of trips or anything, but I now pretty much know exactly what to pack and I know not to be like, don't think oh yeah, maybe that sparkly pair of red cowboy boots might get away with when I'm in New Zealand on a snowboarding trip. Like Lucy you know you're gonna wear Yukon ease a pair of boots, a pair of heeled boots and like your slides that's all you need. And that's all
Nikki Westcott
you want. You get there and that's all you have. That's what you want. Yeah, sometimes it's good. Like you're
Lucy Jackson
not going to wear heels on a trip when you're going to like out with boys to the pub every night. Like I kind of thought maybe I'll wear heels out one night to a nice lunch it's like is there really a point in taking one pair of heels for one lunch? Yeah, no,
Alex Hourigan
we never end up wearing heels we always pack them and then we're like oh do you want to just go comfy? Yeah, let's Yeah,
Lucy Jackson
every time literally all right. What
Alex Hourigan
are your favourite brands to shop with and why and also obvious
Nikki Westcott
obviously love a bit of jog jogger
Lucy Jackson
we're really bad at shopping really bad in
Sally McMullen
what way which
Lucy Jackson
we brand we own our brand and then obviously we have like you know we've worked a lot in the industry so we get gifted gratefully gifted a lot of stuff to be honest, I mainly every day in my normal day to day life where activewear which I never thought I would be one of those people. But I wear it with like a blazer or a jacket. Yeah, yeah, don't just wear active wear.
Alex Hourigan
Sports lifestyle Johnny. Yeah, can't fi
Sally McMullen
my mind after COVID like before COVID I actually did not even own a pair of tracksuit pants. Like I was like I would never be saying out of the house and tracksuit pants and now
Lucy Jackson
the biggest trend
Nikki Westcott
most yeah it's definitely a trend
Lucy Jackson
yeah our stacks would be one of mine is what we love stacks Yeah
Nikki Westcott
if I've ever looking at like if I have to go somewhere nice or something I might look at like Beck and bridge. Oh yeah, that's good. Yeah, like I also bought a bit of that for Europe revived after silver wallet.
Lucy Jackson
Got a wedding coming up if you weren't there no it's just a little blouse
Nikki Westcott
oh yeah Becca bridge or tiger Miss have really good.
Lucy Jackson
Oh, yeah, Tiger.
Alex Hourigan
Right Like everything else that's on the
Nikki Westcott
Tiger, Mississippi. You just gets the most like basic kind of things.
Lucy Jackson
Do you know where I go to your glass? I love glass. And yeah, I go there pretty much every Saturday. But if I don't have an outfit that I'm wearing, the thing about owning Jagger in stone is we don't bring out clothes as often as like glasses or whatever. Yeah, and most often than not if something's been released, me and Nicky have already worn it before we were the samples we kind of like wear it in the lead up. So there will be a lot of times where I don't have the opportunity to wear Jagger and so because I've already worn everything. So I will I'm a sucker for going to glassons and getting like you know, a phone call. Or an actual I've been loving Zara. Oh
Nikki Westcott
yeah, if I go to like pack fare, I'll always like go into Zara. Yeah, yeah, Beck and bridge And yeah, I definitely always go into classrooms like Yeah, so for sure, because nine times out of 10 you have a success rate. And um,
Lucy Jackson
do you know what we are so unorganised that often. And I also live next to pack fare. So people are like a little bit of a going back. There's such a chore. It's honestly so easy like I roll out of bed and I'm in class and I can actually go in and out of there by three things and like pick up you know, Bobby's dog food for the week in 15 minutes.
Alex Hourigan
Love that.
Lucy Jackson
I'm a speed shopper to like I'm not like a tried on the change room. I'm in amount.
Sally McMullen
Yeah, love. And last but not least, what's your number one savvy shopping tip.
Lucy Jackson
Exactly what I just said, Don't try shit on when you go to the shops. Just go in, buy it and then return it if you don't want it. I love because or don't return it and just like we do with everything.
Nikki Westcott
I'm going to shoot ourselves in the foot. But you know, you can Google that many discount codes. Yeah,
Lucy Jackson
she's lying. There's none.
Nikki Westcott
I'm like, well, that influencer hadn't great return. Actually, no, it ended up on a weird forum where people
Alex Hourigan
like, funny.
Nikki Westcott
Yeah, you can do that. Or like be aware with like sale periods and stuff, you know? Yeah,
Lucy Jackson
I will buy 1000 different things. And there'll be so obviously something that I will wear once. And then there'll be like another thing that might be your staples. Yeah, that I just wear and it could be a $15 singlet from glassons. And I will wear that every two days, four months. I think it's like about starting to really know what you wear and how you like to wear it. Like, even this morning. I was getting ready. My hair was already pretty much done, which is my big thing when I get ready in the morning because it's like my hair's not done. I get in so often. I was already done. I was like, oh, Lucia has done maybe you should wear a nice outfit today. And I just got like, two more minutes into my morning. I go. Who you kidding yourself? Just put your active wearing a jacket on? Yeah. Do you know what I mean? And then I don't feel guilty.
Nikki Westcott
Yeah. My girlfriend Anna just showed me she's like, Babe. Look at this. This is amazing. Like, I'm gonna do this. Like How sick is this? She's like, have you seen with the new phone updates? How you can take a photo and like cut out? Alright, yeah. So there's this chick on Tik Tok. And she obviously is like, I don't even know how she's done this maybe as she's been wearing them or like spent a day like putting on outfits together, taking a mirror selfie, cutting them out and dropping them into our notes. So then she'd go into our notes and there's this big like scrolling all outfits so that she can just go into go pick and I go it's like clueless. Would you actually do that she's like, taking oath, because that to me is like, where I waste my time the most where I get the most stress and flustered. And I just really struggle. Like if I'm on the way somewhere. So I would genuinely look at that as like a time saver. Whereas I'm like, we
Lucy Jackson
don't do we're not
Nikki Westcott
like well, I look good in this. I'm
Alex Hourigan
going out. Yeah, but the thing is like, I'll look in the mirror. I'd be like fire stunning. 12 out of 10. Yeah, right work takes a photo looks at the photo like that. In garbage. Yeah, I'll be like, Well, what happened? Yeah, legit. I'd be like, well, I need to chain. I think I'll avoid that one.
Lucy Jackson
Girl that did that once she like, to be fair, it was all designer stuff, too. So I think she would obviously she doesn't make a huge amount of purchases all the time. She just has like, a kind of set wardrobe of like designer goods. Yeah, but she was like, my friend was like, Oh, my friend just sent me through all these things that I could potentially borrow it away to something. And I was like, did she take all of these photos for you? How nice that she goes on? No, no, she keeps a library on her phone of her outfits. So she just when she's like having a think what do I want to wear? She can flick through and I go you know what that's called? Unemployed.
