Want Glass Skin? Peach & Lily Founder Alicia Yoon Shares Her Secrets for Achieving A Dewy, Glowy Complexion Aug 28, 2020

Show notes

You’ve heard us rave about Peach & Lily’s Glass Skin Refining Serum many times before, so we are thrilled to have the brains and beauty behind the Gloss Angeles must-have on the podcast today! Alicia Yoon is a Korean skincare expert, esthetician, and the founder of Peach & Lily. She chats with us about what it’s like attending esthetician school in Seoul, why she decided to launch her own line of skincare products, and how she overcame her battle with eczema (it involves a little bit of bleach!). Plus, Alicia gives us all the deets about the latest addition to the Peach & Lily Glass Skin family — the Glass Skin Mist. Dewy skin on tap? Sounds like our kind of drink.

The Business of Being Patrick Starrr Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

Patrick Simondac, known around the world as Patrick Starrr, is a Filipino-American beauty influencer and content creator, having filmed makeup tutorials since 2013. He currently has 4.4M subscribers on Youtube, won a Streamy for Best Beauty Channel in 2017, has collaborated with celebrities like Kim Kardashian West, Naomi Campbell and Katy Perry, and has partnered with brands like MAC Cosmetics on his own collections. Now he’s launched One/Size Beauty, which is available exclusively at Sephora and OneSizeBeauty.com.

We have been covering Patrick since his early days of Youtubing and have quite literally flown all over the world with him, so we've loved seeing his "starrr" continue to rise. Patrick details the inspiration behind One Size Beauty as brand, what he learned from collaborating with a major brand like MAC Cosmetics, his Filipino upbringing, managing imposter syndrome and which Youtubers he's regularly in touch with.

If We Didn't Convince You To Use Retinol, Klur Founder Lesley Thornton Will Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

Today’s guest is Lesley Thornton, an esthetician, formulator, and founder of the clean and sustainable skincare brand KLUR. But before Lesley launched her own brand, she spent years working in different roles in beauty, from selling True Colors eyeshadow pigments at the mall to working on set as a professional makeup artist. Lesley has learned a lot about how the industry works, what it takes to formulate a quality skincare product, and how to run a beauty brand. As a Black beauty business owner, she also has advice for consumers on how we can continue to support Black-owned beauty businesses for years to come. Check out our episode to hear what ingredient is most underrated (hint: it helps support the regeneration of vitamin C), why we should stop demonizing physical exfoliation and why “non-toxic” doesn’t mean “natural.”
