The #DamnGood Hot Hair Tools For A Salon Look At Home Mar 18, 2020

Show notes

It’s pretty much scientifically proven by now: good hair days really do make us feel better. With that in mind, we’re dedicating this entire episode to the hair tools that truly deliver post-salon happiness (in the comfort and safety of your own home, tbh.) First off, we put the new Dyson Corrale Straightener to the test, and reveal whether this highly anticipated innovation is really worth the hefty price tag (!!).

Plus, meet the under-the-radar Canadian brand of hair tools said to be the first to offer the high heat and performance of a plug-in, with zero cords. Then, we test out the Drybar Double Shot Blow-Dryer Brush, to see if it can measure up against the OG (and far more affordable) Revlon Salon One-Step Volumizer Hair Dryer – already a viral sensation. Auto curling irons that bake your curls like an oven, multi-pronged stylers that promise mermaid waves – we’ve got your every hot tool desire in this all-about-hair episode!

Milk Makeup Co-Founder Zanna Roberts Rassi Mar 11, 2020

Show notes

Jill and Carlene take New York City! In today’s episode, we sit down with Zanna Roberts Rassi, Milk Makeup co-founder and fashion-editor-at-large for Marie Claire. You may recognize Zanna in her role as E! News fashion correspondent, where she reports straight from the red carpet — or perhaps you’ve tuned into one of her viral videos with the hashtag #CommuterBeautyWithZanna.

We’re tracing the origin story behind Milk Makeup, the cool, vegan beauty brand built for Generation Z. Find out how a high fashion photo studio in NYC’s Meatpacking District served as the ultimate inspiration behind all of the products, from the best-selling Milk Makeup KUSH Mascara – the first to tout cannabis sativa seed oil in makeup – to the Insta-worthy lucite packaging, to the Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer that finally converted Carlene to using a primer!

Tune in as Zanna spills the details on Milk Makeup’s latest venture into the world of skincare, with its first ever moisturizer and cleanser. Then, we discover the greatest red carpet beauty tip she’s ever received (including the celebrity who whispered the secret!), the most treasured fashion item in her glitzy closet, and finally, after having appeared as a guest judge on Glam Masters and Project Runway All-Stars, anyone got any guesses on which t.v. show Zanna will appear on next?

Show notes

It’s a #GlowDown throw down with OG beauty YouTuber Kandee Johnson!

Vagina Care Do’s & Don’ts with Dr. Jen Gunter, Twitter’s Resident Gyno and Anti-GOOP Advocate Feb 12, 2020

Show notes

You may know Dr. Jen Gunter from her no-B.S. New York Times columns, like My Vagina Is Terrific. Your Opinion About It Is Not”. Or, perhaps you follow her on social media, where her epic junk science take downs have earned her a reputation as Twitter’s Resident Gynecologist and GOOP’s #1 enemy. Dr. Gunter’s recently republished book, The Vagina Bible, answers common questions about tricky vagina symptoms and conditions, while her recent TED Talk “Why Can’t We Talk about Periods?” has racked up over 1 million views in just ten days.

In today’s episode, Dr. Jen Gunter separates the myth from the medicine when it comes to vagina care 101, while delivering the real talk on vaginal rejuvenation, the effects of long-term birth control use and she even enlightens us on the language around “vagina” (because even that can be confusing!) Stay tuned to the end, when the good doctor answers our listeners’ questions, and we get her hot takes on GOOP criticisms and those headline-making, toxic-talc lawsuits.

Why Bite Beauty Founder Susanne Langmuir is Banking on Waterless Beauty Next Jan 29, 2020

Show notes

Today we’re speaking to Bite Beauty founder and serial entrepreneur Susanne Langmuir. As a product development guru, Langmuir succeeded where others couldn’t, creating bright, poppy shades that could measure up to the M.A.C’s and the NARS’ of the world, in earth-friendly formulas – and don’t forget the brand’s best-selling Agave Lip Mask that beauty editors stocked up on by the tube.

In this episode, we’ll update you on how Bite Beauty’s parent company, Sephora-backed Kendo Beauty, is ushering in a new, all-vegan era following Susanne’s departure from the company over two years ago. Then, Susanne fills us in on her next, forward-thinking act: waterless beauty. You’ll meet the debut product, aN-hydra The Powder of Youth No. 1, a water-activated microbiome cleansing powder that harnesses rice powder and pomegranate enzymes to slough away dead skin cells without stripping away “good” bacteria. (Plus, we weigh in with our personal review!)

Find out what Susanne envisions a waterless beauty routine could look like in the not too distant future, and why ‘waterless’ is so key to shrinking our vanity footprint. But first, we’ll take you way back to before Bite Beauty even existed, to some of the inspiring entrepreneur’s first steps – and missteps – into the wide world of beauty.

Meet The Power Siblings Behind ColourPop, KKW Beauty, Kylie Cosmetics & Tati Beauty (Their First Podcast Ever!) Jan 15, 2020

Show notes

Welcome to our milestone, 100th episode!! Can you believe?! Our baby girl’s a centenarian already. Today we’re harkening back to our origins with an epic #foundersrule tale, featuring a brand leading the future of beauty as we enter a new decade. Meet John and Laura Nelson, the siblings behind Seed Beauty, a beauty incubator that’s launched mad successes like ColourPop, Kylie Cosmetics, KKW Beauty, and most recently, Tati Beauty by mega influencer Tati Westbrook.

In today’s episode, we visit Seed Beauty’s HQ in Oxnard, California, to peep the direct-to-consumer brands capable of taking a single customer request from concept to creation in just five days!!! John and Laura reveal the answers to the question on everybody’s mind: how is it possible to deliver high quality products at such a low price, so fast? Case in point: Jill and Carlene’s fave Super Shock Shadows from ColourPop – gorgeous cream-to-powder pigments that sell for just $6 bucks.

In their first podcast ever, John and Laura trace the story behind how Seed Beauty came to be – pivoting the family business from one of the largest outside suppliers for global beauty brands to a vertically integrated platform launching its own brands. We get the juice on how a certain Kardashian family spun their warehouse into overdrive, and you’ll hear some hints on what this industry power player has cooking up next.

As always, drop us a line in our private Facebook chatroom or shoot us a DM on Instagram – we love hearing from you! Or call us and leave us a voicemail: 1-844-227-0303
