Jess & Jenn don’t believe the reports that mascara is becoming less popular. Other things we’re contemplating this week: the whimsical beauty at Paris Fashion Week; whether “skincare skin” is the new no-makeup makeup; what Oak Essentials stands for and if it will make you want to buy a horse; how to apply lotion to your own back; and which setting spray has the best skin-like finish. Plus, beauty founder Diarrha N'Diaye-Mbaye offers words of advice after her company, Ami Colé, earns a L’Oréal investment and Jess reveals the scents she selected for Moda Operandi’s new fragrance discovery set.

October 02, 2024Ep. 550: Baby Hippos, Body Horrors & The Week’s Beauty News
Do you know someone who looks different since they’ve been talking a GLP-1 drug like Ozempic or Wegovy? Jenn & Garrett know a few, and they need to discuss. Jenn does a sniff test of Glossier’s two new perfumes, and we’re also talking about Moo Deng blush, Demi Moore in The Substance, the woman who died from a liquid BBL, and a supplement designed to manage the health and beauty side effects of GLP-1s. Plus, Jenn raises a wand to a new mascara that doubles as a lash-lengthening serum (and actually works) and Garrett raises a wand to a laundry detergent and linen spray that will…help you get your beauty sleep!

The gang’s all here for a special episode! We’re going to catch up after the summer, and then each of us will “Show & Tell” a recent beauty discovery.

We’re also talking about a less-expensive alternative to epidermal growth factor serums; a dreamy body glaze (different than an oil!); why every fragrance launch is a “collection”; the best and worst celebrity beauty lines; formaldehyde (still!?) in hair straighteners; and a petty, yet supremely fabulous way to get revenge on a cheating ex-partner: launching a perfume and calling it Divorce.
