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.

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

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.

Welcome to our final podcast #crossover of the year. In today’s episode, we’ve got none other than Whitney Port in the house! The style-setting mama has come a long way since the 2010’s reality TV hit, The Hills. Firstly, there’s her podcast, With Whit, where her heart-to-heart convos have kept her 1.5M-strong fanbase tuning in on the regular. Then, there’s her covetable fashion projects (look forward to a Rent The Runway collab in April 2020!). And now, the MTV re-boot, The Hills: New Beginnings, is returning for a second season.

In this episode, Whitney reflects back on the realities of reality television, and how self-care can be as simple as saying ‘no.’ Plus, since Whitney is a fellow skincare obsessee, we find out the exact secrets to her glowing skin, including the pro treatments and the #damngood products lining her top shelf right now.  And in true podswap fashion, you can find your humble Breaking Beauty hosts over on With Whit’s feed this week, where we discuss our own beauty faves of the season, including our most trusted skincare musts. 

Sensitive subject matter alert: In today’s interview, we wanted to let you know that Whitney discusses her personal experience with a miscarriage - as we know this is a sensitive subject for many people, we wanted to give a heads up that is part of today’s conversation.

Meet Wende Zomnir, co-founder of Urban Decay, the 90s makeup brand that’s as relevant today as it was in its graffiti-grunge heyday. In today’s episode, the Texas-born pageant girl, Mom and surfer recalls how frustration with the candy-pink facade of the beauty biz drove her to start a rebellious cosmetics company that was years ahead of its time with out-of-the-crayon-box bold eyeshadows, blue lipsticks and all-gendered, near-black nail polishes to mark its initial lineup.

We also get the incredible back story behind *the* NAKED palette that helped propel Urban Decay to the top of the beauty game (estimates are that they have topped 1 billion dollars in sales of just that one palette since it launched in 2010!)
