September 06, 2024Francisco Costa's Next Chapter
Francisco Costa looks at beauty through a different lens. One of the biggest forces in fashion, the former women's creative director of Calvin Klein Collection speaks to Jess about his evolution from designer to beauty founder, with the launch of Costa Brazil, and shares his creative process around product development. He also gets candid about the realities of acquisition: The brand was acquired by biotech firm Amyris in 2021, but it shut down the brand in 2023. Now that Costa bought back the brand—and is back in charge—he's ready to share some hard-won wisdom.

September 04, 2024Ep. 546: Bangs, Soft Baddies & The Week’s Beauty News
Let’s dig into some fall beauty trends, like bow nails, soft baddie and Igari makeup, “fox” hair color—and whether or not Jess should get bangs. Plus: lookism in the news, the couple who pioneered cosmetic Botox, bridal beauty, rediscovering Pillow Talk, and a lip gloss that tastes like Haribo peach gummies. And, in a special segment brought to you by Acast Creative and our sponsor Shiseido Ginza Tokyo, we talk about all the ways eyes change as you age (Jenn’s eyes are getting “cozier,” Jess says her under-eyes are more “chiseled”) and what you can do about it.

August 23, 2024Non-Surgical vs. Surgical Cosmetic Procedures with Dr. Kimberly Lee
What is a non-surgical facelift? Plastic surgeon Kimberly Lee, MD, explains all the cosmetic treatments it can entail: injections of fat, filler, or neuromodulators; PDO threads (aka, “thread lifts”); radiofrequency skin tightening; and lasers. Plus, she talks about the long-term effects of filler, Botox, and Micro-Coring; details her approach to facial rejuvenation and how she helps patients decide if they’re ready for cosmetic surgery; and shares her advice for what you can do to “stop time,” if you can’t afford to (or don’t want to!) get any cosmetic procedures.
