    The Gift of Real Talk: Is Vitamin C Overrated? "Anec-data" and the Truth About $400 Luxury Serums With Dermatologist Dr. Aegean Chan Dec 24, 2025
    Show notes

    This week we welcome double board-certified dermatologist AND dermatopathologist, Dr. Aegean Chan to bridge the gap between medical dermatology and your daily skincare routine. Tapping her clinical expertise in medical dermatology, skin cancer and acne, we unwrap Dr. Chan’s professional insights on the skin barrier, sun protection, and why she believes we should be wary of "anec-data" especially when it comes to a $400 serum.


    In this week’s episode, we discuss:

    • How truly complex the skin barrier is (as she sees it under a microscope), and why it's the foundation of great skin
    • Holiday break ready! Which sunscreen Dr. Chan personally buys in bulk
    • Truth bombs about Vitamin C! Why Dr. Chan doesn’t think this hero ingredient is right for everyone
    • Why she *doesn’t* think shopping for skincare based on a pH level is a necessary strategy
    • What Dr. Chan makes of transdermal patches for skincare – are they the future of youthful skin?
    • Plus: Should we rethink trending, in-office procedures like radiofrequency combined with microneedling per recent FDA guidelines?

    2025 Beauty Year-in-Review: Best (and Worst!) Products, Viral Celeb Moments and the Creator Wars Taking Over the Group Chat Dec 17, 2025
    Show notes

    In our 2025 Beauty Year in Review, we’re getting "spicy" about the industry’s biggest wins and flops. Listen in to hear all about the viral Guadalajara facelift taking over TikTok, the rise of cosmetic surgery transparency and the slice of good news impacting young women in beauty (finally!).


    As beauty conglomerates shift their focus, we break down why integrity is the new authenticity and how the "glam squad" is officially outshining the A-list celebrity brand. Plus, we celebrate Gen X beauty finally having its main character moment, all thanks to Carlene (we kid, we kid).


    You’ll hear about:


    • Kylie Jenner’s momentous silicone implant reveal, Simone Biles’ blepharoplasty and why everyone is talking about the Guadalajara facelift lady in the "year of the Hollywood facelift."
    • How the over-40 demographic is reclaiming the spotlight, both at retail and with a new wave of beauty creators.
    • Why 2025 saw a shift toward expert-led lines like Hung Vanngo and Chris McMillan, and why hiring Diarrha N’Diaye-Mbaye (formerly of Ami Colé) was a genius credibility play for Skims Beauty.
    • Product Placement on blast: Why "Nobody Wants This" & "All’s Fair" peeved off so many viewers in so little time.
    • A candid look at the public call-outs taking over our group chats
    • The "Integrity Deficit"- unpacking DEI backpedalling and what it means for Big Beauty.

    Why Blepharoplasty is Everywhere Right Now, the Best No-Surgery Eye Fixes and Could Contact Lenses be Bad for Your Eyes? With Oculoplastic Surgeon Dr. Babak Maleki Dec 10, 2025
    Show notes

    Olympian Simone Biles recently opened up about it. Carlene has done it. And according to the latest polls, blepharoplasty is officially the #1 cosmetic surgery around the globe – surpassing liposuction, breast augmentation and even rhinoplasty.


    To help us uncover everything to know about the latest eye opening procedures, we tapped Toronto-based Oculoplastic Surgeon and Board-Certified Ophthalmologist Dr. Babak Maleki, who Carlene trusted with her own ptosis correction and upper eyelid blepharoplasty.


    Tune in to hear about:

    • What exactly is blepharoplasty, and who is a good candidate?
    • Bleph 101: How much you can reasonably expect to pay for a blepharoplasty, how much time to set aside for recovery, scar care and how long results last.
    • Don’t sign on the dotted line without asking your surgeon this #1 question at the consultation stage.
    • What happens when bleph goes too far, like some “surprised” celeb faces we’ve seen this year. Is there an “undo” button?
    • Why Carlene required *two* surgeries, and how she feels about the experience now.
    • Why Dr. Maleki is banking on “micro-fast” transfer for the future of fixing undereye hollows.
    • For the surgery shy, the in-office, non-invasive treatments that Dr. Maleki recommends to keep eyes looking fresh (including his fave eye cream!)

    We Put the *Most* Viral Beauty Products of 2025 to the #DamnGood Test Dec 03, 2025
    Show notes

    In this #DamnGood review episode, we’re testing the most viral products to hit our feeds this year. From a $6 drugstore cheek stain to celebrity launches and a $400 fragrance, we determine once and for all: are they really #DamnGood – or just hype?


    But first, we have a PSA "phone-a-friend" in partnership with the Personal Care Products Council (PCPC) to chat with toxicologist Dr. Kimberly Norman about the potential risks associated with counterfeit beauty products.

    We break down:

    • Our honest review of the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Hydrating Serum Foundation – is this actually the best foundation of the year? Plus, our take on the Tarte CC Under Eye Corrector.
    • The truth about Mikayla Makeup’s POV Beauty Lip Ampoule & AMP Kit. We test the longevity, texture, and why this launch has been so polarizing on TikTok.
    • $6 Dupe vs. Designer: The viral ELF Sheer For It Blush Tint is the affordable dupe for Benefit Benetint – we compare the wear, pigment, and application tips.
    • Primer showdown!Reviews of the Maybelline Poreless Jelly Primer and the viral hit Grown Alchemist Primer (millions of views!).
    • Primo supremo? Does the Dua Lipa Augustinus Bader Ula line live up to the hype? Plus, our take on the esthetician-beloved Ziip Dot Nano-current Acne Device
    • Fragrance fever? Carlene tries out the highly sought-after (and highly priced) white floral scent Parfums de Marly Valaya Exclusif.
