Ep 167 is loose and this week we are looking at cosmetics of the Victorian age and the true price of beauty in Madame Rachel's famous shop.

What trends did the Victorians follow? Who was Madame Rachel? And how much magnetic rock dew do you get through each week?

The secret ingredient is... make-up!

Sources this week include Atlas Obscura, Geri Walton, The Quack Doctor, Smithsonian Institution, The Arts of Beauty, Culture.org, Proverb Skin.
