| 01 May 2019 | Ep. 63 Meet Nancy Twine, The Founder of Briogeo, The Fastest-Growing Haircare Brand at Sephora | 00:38:12 | |
Meet the fastest growing hair care brand at Sephora: Briogeo. Today we’re chatting with its brilliant founder, Nancy Twine, a University of Virginia graduate and Goldman Sachs alum. As a woman of colour, she couldn't understand why there wasn’t any natural, non-toxic haircare on the market for all ethnicities and hair textures under one brand. Having whipped up DIY beauty products using avocado oils and butters with her mother and grandmother as a child, clean beauty was also top of mind. She blended the two ideas, and in 2013, Briogeo was born.
But why leave that high paying Wall Street job to begin with? In this episode, Nancy reveals the heart-breaking moment that caused her to re-evaluate everything in her life. She also shares a funny story about a surprising connection she has to Kelly Clarkson. And in the spirit of true #girltalk, we get her personal tips on blow-drying her hair in under 12 minutes, and the story behind that comb that broke the internet.
Jill and Carlene weigh in on why Briogeo’s best-selling Don’t Despair, Repair! Deep Conditioning Mask is truly a dream for dry, damaged hair. (Super influencers Hannah Bronfman and Ingrid Neilsen are fans of the brand.) Finally, Nancy explains which 6 ingredients you’ll never find in any of her formulations. And we don’t let her go without getting all the deets on why hair supplements are what she’s conquering next – coming this fall.

| 20 Apr 2022 | Saie Founder Laney Crowell On What Clean Beauty Means Now, Building Best-In-Class Formulas & Introducing “The Concealer From The Future” | 00:38:32 | |
Saie Beauty launched four months before the pandemic, but instead of closing up shop, it managed to slay anyway. Today, Saie founder Laney Crowell takes us back to her roots growing up in France, China and Los Angeles, before building her beauty start in the cut-throat world of fashion magazines. (She even interviewed to be Anna Wintour’s assistant – seven times!)
Listen in as Laney reveals why even in an increasingly crowded “Clean Beauty” market, Saie was needed anyway, developing climate-neutral certified, best-in-class formulas that have won awards, gone viral on TikTok and earned a celebrity following thanks to the brand’s signature, “Saie Glow.”
For the uninitiated, we find out why the Saie Slip Tint Dewy Tinted Moisturizer SPF 35 Sunscreen is so damn popular, along with scoop on the upcoming Saie Hydra Beam “concealer from the future,” that’s set to drop next. Plus, stay tuned until the end to find out why Saie’s vintage merch using upcycled clothing is hands down the coolest Earth Month initiative we’ve ever seen.

| 21 Aug 2019 | Ep. 79 Glossier Founder Emily Weiss (Re-Release) | 00:49:08 | |
We’re on a bit of a summer holiday, but by popular demand we’re bumping this previously released chat to the top of your feeds. She's the Founder and CEO to watch, and she started a revolution with Glossier, a millennial beauty brand that's commanded line-ups around the block with its era-defining pink-and-white packaging and its inclusive, raw beauty campaigns. She's Emily Weiss, the New Yorker topping Vogue and Forbes' lists alike. Find out why the other leading beauty brands are chasing Glossier's "v-commerce" business model (we didn't know what it was either!); learn the secrets behind Emily's editorial roots - including whose bathroom was the most epic for #TopShelf, her art for crowd-sourcing the brand's next innovations; and what she really remembers about those days interning at Vogue and making her debut on The Hills. But most importantly, why is Glossier's Boy Brow the number one best-seller, exactly? We weigh in with our review of the most iconic product. Plus, don't miss Emily's personal beauty hacks—and what she wore to our interview. And finally, hear from the Glossier fan girls IRL, who we turn the mic over to in this revealing, femmes-first episode.

Between her unmistakable Massachusetts accent and her next-level looks, TikTok makeup artist Mikayla Nogueira has earned 10.4 million followers in just 2 years. In today’s episode, Mikayla reflects on her epic metamorphosis, from apprenticing as a special FX makeup artist at her father’s haunted house, to her very first viral TikTok video where, scarred from bullies, she hid her iconic accent before learning to embrace her true self.
And since Mikayla is the powerful makeup artist single-handedly making all of those beauty products go viral on TikTok, we find out which Holy Grail items she uses everyday, from her fave indie eyeshadows to her ride-or-die mascara and the front-running longwear foundation she’s testing for her upcoming wedding. Plus, we discover which #1 product turned around her cystic/hormonal acne forever, and we hear about the over-hyped complexion product that failed the Mikayla test.

Today, we sit down with Donni Davy, the Euphoria makeup artist responsible for an entire Gen Z beauty movement.

Recording live from our LA studio, Donni spills her makeup bag to show us the *brand new* fall collection (launching today!) from her Half Magic cosmetics line, while spilling the goods on how-to wear “Euphoria-core” makeup for real life – and at any age. Plus, we get a surprise appearance from Half Magic head of product development Sam Sachs, who gives us the goods on the sustainability story behind the dopamine-driving lime packaging.

But we also wanted to deliver some really practical tips for how to shop for and apply foundation, so today’s Glow Down guest is red carpet makeup pro Mélanie Inglessis. With clients like Game of Thrones star Lena Headey and modern day ingenue Taylor Russell, Mélanie lends her very French approach to foundation application to produce that au natural, I-didn’t-try-too-hard look — the complete opposite of the Instagram beat face. Mélanie shares the skincare secrets to landing the smoothest, most believable end result, as she opens her professional kit to reveal the go-to foundations she uses to glam up clients for Hollywood events. Then, we put a handful of fall’s buzziest fall foundations to the test as Mélanie swatches Kat Von D, Fenty and RMS LIVE on the mic. Find out which winning formula Mélanie decides she needs to add to her own kit, stat. And tune in to the very end when Jill and Carlene offer up their own favourites they plan to wear all season long. Don’t forget to make our hotline bling! Leave us a voicemail at 844-227-0302 anytime with questions, requests, comments— we’d love to hear from you.

| 24 Mar 2021 | Your Head-to-Toe, Do's and Don'ts Skincare Guide with LA Beautyologist | 00:48:35 | |
We’re getting a head-start on Hot Girl summer prep with Nayamka Roberts-Smith, aka LA Beautyologist and the “Internet’s Esthetician,” – who Cardi B also counts on for her facials! Nai’s 500K YouTube fans come for the no B.S. advice, like the simple #60SecondRule she coined that’s changing people’s cleansing routines – and their skin– for the better.
In today’s show, we ask Nai about some of the biggest Do’s and Don’ts when it comes to all of the DIY grooming we’ve been attempting while we can’t get to our beloved estheticians. Nai gives us the head-toe treatment on everything from peel-off masks, pore vacuums, dermaplaning and solutions for keratosis pilaris (that chicken skin on the back of the arms, ahem.) Stay tuned to the end as Nai reveals which at-home skincare devices she thinks are really worth the money.

| 11 Sep 2019 | Ep. 82 Clear Skin Secrets With Dr. Pimple Popper (aka Dr. Sandra Lee) | 00:45:54 | |
Acne positivity ftw— and yet, many still struggle with acne and self esteem. So much so that we felt it was high time to dedicate an entire episode to the topic. And who better to be our guest than Dr. Sandra Lee, aka Dr. Pimple Popper herself!? The dermatologist’s Youtube videos have gone so viral amongst ‘popaholics’, she even has her own show on TLC. Perhaps you’ve seen one of her live-extraction videos, which have earned up to 46 million views. (Is there such a thing as pimple porn?) Or maybe you’re one of her 3.5 million Instagram followers, who tune in for “exploding lava” and accidentally learn something important about skin in the process. In today’s episode, Dr. Sandra Lee schools us on what you can do in-office and at home to make a visible difference in acneic skin. Then, stay tuned as she sheds some light on how to tackle acne and aging at once. Finally, Dr. Sandra gives us the skinny on what’s in her own beauty cabinet at home. But not before your humble hosts discuss the pro’s majorly accessible skincare line, SLMD Skincare, available at Target as of this summer. *Disclaimer: Unless otherwise stated, all products reviewed are gratis media samples submitted for editorial consideration.*

| 10 Jun 2020 | The Best Mineral Sunscreens Right Now, Tested | 00:40:10 | |
In today’s episode, we’ll review the latest FDA findings around sun safety, along with our roundup of the best mineral sunscreen innovations shaking their “chalky” reputation of the past. Also known as physical sunscreens, SPFs that use mineral filters like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide to filter out the sun’s UV rays used to resemble thick white paint when you put them on. Good news though: the 2.0 versions now come in silky textures, matte finishes and glowy serums (seriously, there’s something for everyone!)
From a formula for dry complexions you’d swear is a skincare lotion to a winner for oily skin that’s already selling out at Sephora to a groundbreaking luminous serum for all skin tones, get ready to get your summer on with this epic mineral sunscreen roundup. Plus, don’t miss our favourite formula for clean beauty lovers, and stay tuned until the end to find out which drugstore SPF was good enough to make the final cut (it’s not the brand you think!).
As we mentioned off the top of the show, we want to support any Black Creators interested in starting your own podcast. We can share the skills that we’ve learned over the past 3.5 years of creating Breaking Beauty: everything from best practices on technical set up to remote recordings, scripts, production process, how to monetize and more. So if you’ve been thinking about starting a podcast, or have an existing show, just drop a note on email at: BreakingBeautyPodcast@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you.

An OG hustler, the Forbes 30 Under 30 alumni started Create & Cultivate in 2012.

Not to mention all that mentoring advice on everything from building your own business to raising capital. And since we know that a lot of you are aspiring entrepreneurs yourselves, Jaclyn schools us on what it’s really like to own a business, how to cultivate a culture of female empowerment and what she looks for in a good hire.
But it wouldn’t be a Breaking Beauty podcast episode without finding out which beauty brands are earning top ranks in Jaclyn’s books right now… and what three products are in her bag at this very moment.

| 28 Jul 2021 | Hot Takes on Hot Summer Beauty Headlines! With Nick Axelrod-Welk and Annie Kreighbaum of Eyewitness Beauty Podcast | 00:50:58 | |
In today’s episode we are taking a minute to go behind some of the biggest summer beauty headlines - something we don’t often have the opportunity to do here on Breaking Beauty!
Our guests today are Nick Axelrod-Welk and Annie Kreighbaum, the hosts of Eyewitness Beauty podcast - a weekly show where they talk about the biggest stories in the beauty biz each week, with a healthy dose of pop culture in the mix.
Aside from co-hosting their weekly show, Nick and Annie are also brand founders. Nick co-founded luxe body and personal care line Necessaire, after he worked as an editor at legacy media brands like WWD, ELLE before he co-founded Into The Gloss alongside Emily Weiss.
And Annie is a newly-minted brand founder of her body care line called Soft Services - She’s also worked at Into the Gloss and Glossier - first as their Editorial Director and then she served as VP of product development.
Tune in as we chat about: Which celeb line is about to pop off? Will the skincare bubble burst? And what’s the next frontier in beauty marketing?
And stay tuned to the end for a round of rapid fire round where we get the deets on their best budget beauty SPF, which designer deodorant is actually worth the splurge, which brand is the cheugiest right now in their opinion -- plus the best tip they ever took away from all of the top shelves they profiled during their Into the Gloss days.
And this is a podswap so be sure to catch us over on the Eyewitness Beauty feed this week where we discuss even more product news and play a game called “Paula’s Choice”!
And #ICYMI - mic drop - we now have merch!! Check out our #damngood limited edition extremely soft scrunchies in the perfect cotton candy pink. They’re made from supremely soft sustainable bamboo terry, they never slip or pull hair, and they come in three sizes: Baby, Just Right and Jumbo (the size of a personal pizza!).

In 2020, Hyram Yarbro earned upwards of 6 million TikTok followers in just four months. His brutally honest brand reviews, skin transformation reaction videos and budget skincare recommendations earned him the title of “The Gen-Z Whisperer” by The New York Times. Two years later, and Skincare By Hyram is back to chat about the lessons he’s learned as he’s shifted from content creator to brand founder – and where the beauty influencer economy is going next. In today’s episode you’ll find out:
Plus, tune into Hyram’s podcast Justaposition, *tomorrow*, where we’ll be the featured guests! We get candid about what it’s like to work on our own podcast versus our Devil Wears Prada days working at fashion magazines, how we deal with negative reviews along with our latest favorite beauty products that may or may not include a foot foam for unsightly heel cracks (did we mention we’re getting real real?!)

| 13 Jun 2018 | Ep. 28 #TheGlowDown ft. beauty editor Jane Larkworthy (on the cult of skincare, B.S. beauty trends and intermittent fasting) | 00:46:18 | |
As beauty editor of W Magazine for over a decade, Jane Larkworthy's column, Jane's Addiction, was the stuff of beauty journo legends. Her smart and stylish, yet slightly self-deprecating voice made us hoard with abandon, while her hilarious beauty parody videos had us spitting up our morning coffee. Now, Ms. Larkworthy is back with her own beauty column on The Cut, a new title as beauty-editor-at-large at L'Officiel U.S., and a potential audible enterprise (which may or may not put her improv skills to good use!) But before we find out which beauty products are on Ms. Larkworthy's #topshelf (including scoop on the brand new Drunk Elephant bronzer), and glean all the life lessons of a New York super-doer, Jill and Carlene swap stories about the summer spa services they're obsessed with this minute (hands up if you've ever had a body scrub that didn't involve a mid-treatment shower). And, your humble hosts break on down what's #DamnGood this week, including two drug-store foundations worth adding to your IRL shopping cart. And finally, in this month's installment of The Glow Down, find out the late breaking news that *might* change the life of your mani forever...

In her very first beauty podcast, Victoria Beckham is here alongside Sarah Creal, co-founder of Victoria Beckham Beauty. In today’s episode, Victoria recalls how the “Girl Power” of the Spice Girls helped fuel her sustainable-luxury beauty range, reportedly raking in nearly £2 Million within 3 months of its launch in 2019.
Sarah reveals how much research Victoria *really* put into the creation of the hit celebrity line, and we get the goods on the all-time best seller – an eye makeup must for Mom’s on the go – plus, their top tips for applying the upcoming new Victoria Beckham Beauty Matte Bronzing Brick, inspired by Posh’s life in Miami.

Then, we get seriously UPLIFTED with insider tales involving a run-in with Beyonce, developing makeup shades with Harper, how the duo have been coping during quarantine – and we find out what else is on the ladies’ top shelf (including a surprising drugstore fave!)

| 10 Apr 2019 | Ep. 60 #TheGlowDown- The Ultimate Guide to Zero Waste Beauty | 00:44:21 | |
With all the news about climate change, what woman doesn’t want to reduce her eco footprint? The most logical place to start might just be in the bathroom, given that 120 billion units of packaging are produced in the global cosmetics industry annually. We’re chatting it all out in this episode, alongside Julianne Robicheau, co-owner of Eco + Amour, a sustainable living boutique specializing in self-care and beauty products. We’ve also got Jill’s good friend Stephanie Hicks in the house, who’s sharing tips based on her year of living zero waste (even her upcoming wedding will be completely up-cycled!).
Jill and Carlene share their favourite skincare and makeup brands leading the charge in recycling, re-filling and zero waste packaging. They also hat-tip the big beauty brands committing to zero waste manufacturing and next level recycling programs in the year to come, like TerraCycle and its new re-fill delivery pilot project, Loop. It’s all part of winning over a growing generation who bases their beauty buying on their values as much as product performance.
Find out our top zero waste beauty tips for substituting out all-too convenient face wipes from your routine, what to do with all of your old nail polish, how to dispose of hair, what to do with mascara wands… and we review Aether Beauty’s new zero waste eyeshadow palettes, developed by a former exec in Sephora’s sustainability program. All this, and you don’t even have to worry about any brow-beating. We believe baby steps are all steps in the right direction!

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?

Danessa Myricks wears many hats. “Accidental Makeup Artist.” Photographer. Product Developer. Founder. Educator. Mentor. Single Mom. The New York-based multi-talent went from creating DVD makeup masterclasses to starting a highly-coveted line of makeup products – never taking ‘no’ for an answer.

But first, Danessa explains the backstory behind her sky-rocket success, from the very personal reason why she leaned into makeup education, to the life-changing moment she became a product developer for Benefit Cosmetics, along with details on the best-selling, 130+ shade range of Danessa Myricks Colorfix Eye, Cheek & Lip Cream Pigments found in every major makeup artist’s kit.

| 12 Jan 2022 | 🔮 The Ultimate 2022 Beauty Trends Forecast with Allure Editor-in-Chief Jessica Cruel | 00:48:32 | |
Here’s looking at you, 2022! In this episode, we’re dissecting some of the biggest trends, products and ideas that we predict will be everywhere this year - with some help from Allure’s Editor-in-Chief Jessica Cruel. Tune in to hear about the biggest beauty trends that are set to pop off, like dopamine-boosting levels of bright eye makeup and lip-lifting liner hacks that just might put an end to the filler phase.
Plus, we tackle once taboo topics going mainstream – like embracing baldness and the rise of luxury vagina care. Why the phrase “biodegradable beauty” is no longer allowed on Allure.com, where the Pull Up For Change movement is today and, can an international beauty brand really “cancel” social media (PR play or a legit mental health power move)? We’re breaking it all down!
Finally, stay tuned to the end to hear Jessica’s *personal* topshelf skincare, makeup and haircare picks that will be getting her through this year and beyond!

| 13 May 2020 | Katie Sturino, MegaBabe Founder & Body Positivity Advocate | 00:40:52 | |
Recorded live from her New York City apartment *pre-pandemic* Katie Sturino reveals just how she kickstarted a new kind of beauty empire with Megababe. The clean beauty brand for women of all shapes and sizes quickly skyrocketed to waitlist status with solution-oriented products that tackled beauty taboo – while being cute enough for the topshelf, too. From the iconic Megababe Thigh Rescue Anti-Chafing Stick to the Bust Dust for boob sweat, we find out exactly how these “niche” products broke through, even as retailers kept saying ‘no’. (Stay tuned to the end of the episode for our personal reviews of the products!)
You may recognize Katie from her #MakeMySize Instagram posts – unfiltered, dressing room selfies revealing the frustration in trying on limited sizes for the vast majority of women. Or, perhaps you’ve seen her #SuperSizeTheLook posts on how to emulate the style of the world’s most boldfaced names – when you’re not a size zero. As a powerful voice in the online body inclusivity community, Katie gets candid about the reactions she’s gotten, both from industry insiders and from her 500K+ followers too often left out of the fashion conversation.
But first, Katie traces the origin story behind her own epic career path, rising through the ranks of fashion PR at Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana before tossing it all in to start her own business at a young age. A fateful firing, a dog named Toast, and a humble style blog – you’ll hear all the twists and turns leading up to the Megababe movement. P.S. You can hear more from Katie on her podcast, Boob Sweat where she dives deep on topics like body image, anxiety, divorce and fertility.

| 16 Oct 2019 | NYX Cosmetics Founder Toni Ko is Back in Beauty | 00:46:54 | |
In 1999, Toni Ko completely changed the game on how prestigious drugstore makeup could be with NYX cosmetics – highly pigmented makeup in sleek packaging, at rock-bottom prices. One multi-million-dollar acquisition and a five-year, non-compete agreement later, makeup mogul Toni Ko is ready for her second act. Launching this week, Bespoke Beauty Brands is an incubator for the kind of beauty influencers that helped put NYX on the map.
We’ll reveal all on her first collaboration with inimitable makeup artist and RuPaul’s Drag Race favourite, KimChi Chic. Tune in as we unbox KimChi Chic Beauty on the air! Plus, Toni gets real about the wild world of entrepreneurship (like is selling your brand for half a billion dollars really as dreamy as it sounds?) You’ll also hear all about Toni’s #topshelf must-haves, and her sage advice to anyone out there hustling to be the next beauty unicorn.

| 07 Oct 2020 | Shaughnessy Otsuji is the Restorative Tattoo Artist Changing People’s Lives | 00:43:59 | |
In today’s episode, Jill sits down – pre-Covid times – with the restorative tattoo artist who’s about to become Los Angeles’ next big brow guru. It’s Shaughnessy Otsuji, co-founder of Studio Sashiko in Vancouver, who’s bringing her coveted “fluffy brows” to a new location in La-La Land next. Shaughnessy’s hyper-realistic approach to natural, microbladed brows has earned a celebrity clientele that includes Bachelorette stars Kaitlyn Bristowe and Jillian Harris – the pro even has her own Instagram filter!
But what really sets Shaughnessy’s work apart is her 3-D, fine art tattoo renderings that far surpass the mighty microblade. Camouflaging scars, disguising stretch marks, even restoring nipples for breast cancer survivors – Shaughnessy and her team’s skills are seriously changing people’s lives. If you’ve ever dreamed of getting back to the brows you once had when you were twelve, tune in as she fills us in on the difference between microblading, brow lacquer, brow lamination and who is the best candidate for each. And, you won’t wanna miss where this trailblazer is taking restorative tattooing next – it’s truly, where no microblader has gone before.

| 21 Apr 2021 | Is This $265 “Self-Healing” Face Cream Really The GOAT? An Augustinus Bader Explainer | 00:43:31 | |
Augustinus Bader’s pricey “The Cream” is only three years old, so why is it already outpacing industry legends like La Mer and Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair? Earlier this year, WWD’s Beauty Inc. voted the iconic blue bottle in the #1 spot on its list of the 100 Greatest Skincare Products Of All Time,” as voted by 300 industry insiders. Celebrities are hooked, and sales of the $265 anti-aging moisturizer jumped from $20 million to $70 million in 2020 – pandemic be damned!
Today, co-founders Augustinus Bader and biotech investor Charles Rosier explain the science behind the “self-healing” cream, inspired by the German stem cell scientist’s miraculous wound-healing hydrogel he developed that when applied topically to severe burn victims, eliminated the need for invasive skin grafts and surgeries – with astonishingly superior results. We’ll find out how this stem cell cream is radically different than any of the other “stem cell” creams lining store shelves; why they recently upgraded the hero formula, and (scoop alert!) what high-tech products you can expect next.

| 23 Jan 2019 | Ep. 48 Tata Harper Skincare Founder Tata Harper | 00:51:54 | |
She’s the fresh-faced entrepreneur who’s been bottling her eponymous, all-natural skincare since 2010. Today we’re chatting with eco beauty pioneer Tata Harper! With her unmistakable green glass packaging and sophisticated, earth-friendly formulas, the Columbian skincare founder succeeded in elevating the whole green beauty game at a time when organic formulas couldn’t shake their crunchy granola rep.
Marrying all-natural and luxury for the very first time in beauty history, Tata Harper is still sourcing sustainably grown ingredients from all over the world, producing award-winning formulas in small batches at her Vermont farm. In today’s episode, you’ll find out exactly why the best-selling Resurfacing Mask—rich in pink clay, willow bark and beet extract— is worthy of its luxury price tag. (And why industry insiders like makeup artist Gucci Westman are forever fans.) Carlene reveals her personal fave, along with Jill’s impression of her glamourous Tata Harper facial courtesy of Tata’s personal aesthetician, based at Le Bristol Hotel in Paris. You won’t want to miss Tata’s incredible origin story, having graduated from industrial engineering before one fateful event would change her life forever. Tune in to hear glimpses into Tata’s fashion-filled childhood, the mother-of-three’s thoughts on what she’s calling a “Clean-washing” sham happening in the beauty industry right now, and not to be missed, Tata reveals for the first time a top-secret new range she’s been working on, set to thrill long-time Tata Harper fans.

| 01 Jan 2020 | Self-Tanning & Self-Love With Jules Von Hep (Re-Release) | 00:38:15 | |
Today we’re chatting with our first ever tanning founder!! It’s Jules Von Hep, a celebrity spray tanner who has glow’d up everyone from Kate Moss to Sienna Miller to Poppy Delevingne. Jules started Isle of Paradise, bottling up his decade bronzing bodies of all sizes, shades and shapes with his super-smart colour-correcting formula that promises to bring the bronze without any dullness or orange-effect.
Isle of Paradise is a tanning brand for the millennial era with its vegan, cruelty-free and organic formulations, offered up in new textures (hello, tanning waters!).
But perhaps the biggest part of Isle Of Paradise’s fast success is the ethos behind the brand. Stemming from Jules himself, it’s all about body positivity and self-love, topics he explores as co-host of Wobble podcast, featuring guests like Bryony Gordon and Emma Guns. We also get to the heart of the body image matter in this episode, along with Jules’ no-fail tanning tips and a story of a celebrity tanning session gone so so wrong.

| 13 Mar 2019 | Ep. 56 #TheGlowDown - Makeup Artist and “Brutally Honest” Beauty Influencer Samantha Ravndahl on YouTube drama, why she’s over PhotoShop and what’s on her top shelf | 00:43:28 | |
Alright, you can stop DM’ing us because the Samantha Ravndahl episode is finally here! “Meet the beauty blogger who’s made a career out of brutal honesty,” said Vanity Fair, in an article profiling the 26-year-old professional makeup artist last year. Samantha began creating content in 2013 with just 2,000 followers, which grew into 10,000 fans in one month— and ballooned into an audience of one million in just one year. One Lil’ Kim lawsuit behind her, and the super influencer has earned 2.2M Instagram followers tune in to the Vancouverite’s feed for her boundary-pushing beauty lewks that have been known to skew into special FX.
But it’s Samantha’s badass, no-holding-back attitude that keep them coming back. Case in point: in December, she released a “No More PR” video announcing that she would no longer be accepting thousands of dollars worth of publicity products from brands anymore — a waste-reductive move that drew headlines in WWD Magazine. We asked Samantha about why she made that decision (who doesn’t like freebies?!), and how her tutorials and her relationships with brands has changed since then.
Six years in, Samantha— and her content— are continually evolving. We get the scoop on her decision to stop retouching face and body “blemishes” on any of her photos moving forward. She also spills the tea on the products she’s truly passionate about (top shelf elite edition!), answers burning listener questions, and tells us about the career goal Future Samantha currently has on the dream board…

| 28 Aug 2019 | Ep. 80 Alli Webb, Co-Founder of Drybar | 00:46:21 | |
Today we’re chatting with serial entrepreneur Alli Webb. She’s the co-founder of Drybar, one of the original chain blow dry bars, launched nearly a decade ago.

Stay tuned as your humble hosts review Drybar’s best selling dry shampoo— then, we give you the scoop on a surprise mascara collaboration, dubbed “a blowout for your lashes,” entering stores right now!

Basically it’s a Drybar for massages instead of blowouts! And because Alli aims just as high as one of her hair-raising blowouts, the beauty mogul also shares her top business-savvy advice on Raising the Bar podcast, co-hosted by her brother and business partner Michael Landau. Tune in for some choice advice she’s most used in trying times herself, before Alli bends our ear with a sneak peek of what’s to come on her upcoming reality t.v. show (who doesn’t cry for a good makeover!?

| 14 Oct 2020 | Founder of Dr. Sturm Skincare, Dr. Barbara Sturm | 00:32:32 | |
German skincare founder Dr. Barbara Sturm has earned a cult celebrity following that includes Kim Kardashian, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid. On the cusp of her newest outpost touching down in West Hollywood very soon – you’re about to find out why the brand’s spa facials and Molecular Cosmetics line have become coveted around the world for delivering the famous #sturmglow. Turns out, this doctor-backed line of luxury skincare isn’t your typical dermatological range. Dr. Sturm is rather a medical aesthetics doctor by trade, a trained orthopedist who once worked on the team who treated Kobe Bryant using PRP (plasma-rich platelet) therapy – the very injectable that inspired her to pioneer the “Vampire Facial”. We ask Dr. Sturm about the bespoke, $1,400 MC1 “Blood” Cream she invented for her elite clientele that uses proteins from your own blood to promote your skin’s ability to heal itself. Then, stay tuned as she explains the ethos behind her eponymous retail range – premium formulas that shun chemical exfoliation.

| 13 Jul 2022 | Supergoop! Founder Holly Thaggard on Creating a Sunscreen Wardrobe, The Truth About SPF 100 & What's Up With PA+ Ratings | 00:37:39 | |
When was the first time you realized that you need to wear SPF not just during the summer, but every damn day of the year? For elementary school teacher Holly Thaggard, it was a lightbulb moment that occurred after a close friend was struck with skin cancer in 2005, and the start of an entrepreneurial career that would lead to her lifelong dedication to suncare advocacy in schools – and the birth of Supergoop!, now a staple in many a glowy girl’s skincare routine.
In today’s episode, you’ll find out how the industry’s biggest sunscreen darling changed the game completely, introducing the idea of a “sunscreen wardrobe” that now offers over 40 different ways to apply every single day (PS - three units of Supergoop!’s iconic Unseen Sunscreen now sell every single minute). You’ll hear why turning down Sephora was the key to becoming one of their best-sellers. Plus, Holly gives us an easy-to-understand explainer on everything you want to know about sunscreen now, like:

Last week in Part 1 of our Best of Spring #DamnGoods Special, we revealed the latest skincare buys that are highly recommended by Jill and Carlene. Today, they review the viral hits (and misses!) that you’re probably seeing all over your feed. From the sold-out Anastasia “Brow Freeze” that’s earned 3 million views on TikTok to the “Sky High” Maybelline mascara that even drugstores can’t keep in stock – listen in to hear what’s worth the chase. But that’s not all, Carlene gets all swoon-y about some new fragrances she thinks would befit all of those smokeshow scenes in Bridgerton. And, stay tuned as your humble hosts peel back the curtain on the marketing hype machine to expose the beauty products that are really not worth the cheddar.

| 31 May 2018 | Ep. 27 RMS Beauty Founder Rose-Marie Swift | 00:45:53 | |
Rose-Marie Swift took the beauty world by the balls, screamed in its face, and caused a frenzy with one of the first "green" makeup lines back in 2009. Her website, beautytruth.com, set out to educate the masses about toxic ingredients in makeup and skincare, putting her career as a celebrity makeup artist on the line. Is it any wonder given the Vancouver-born celebrity makeup artist started out as a punk singer?? Her iconic best-seller, Living Luminzer, was born out of her experience giving the original Victoria's Secret angels — Miranda Kerr and Gisele Bundchen — their heavenly glow. Standing the test of time among the gazillions of highlighting products that have launched since, Living Luminizer is what Meghan Markle chose to get her radiance on for her royal wedding! We walk you through the best-seller's first two shade extensions. Listen in as Rose-Marie recalls her raucous roots (and we're not just talking about the roster of rockstars she's slept with, though you'll find that in this episode too.) The makeup artist reveals why her brand of coconut oil-based makeup products manage to perform when so many other organic cosmetics falter. Plus, find out which dream product she's determined to create next, her personal skincare-free nighttime routine and the genetic talent you need to hear about to believe.

Makeup dreams do come true. In today’s episode, we sit down with the one and only Mario Dedivanovic, a.k.a Makeup By Mario.

His masterclasses sell out across the country, so get ready for your very own mini-masterclass in how to perfect your base just.like.a.Kardashian.

And since he was in town with Philosophy skincare for our chat, Mario schools us on the must-have products he uses to prep before he even opens his makeup kit.
But it doesn’t end there! Who is this magic man, *really*? Get ready to hear Mario open up about what happens when mercury in retrograde rocks his world, what he does on precious days off and which faces, living or dead, does he dream of painting?
