Plus: The Fat Mascara Fam did their homework! We’re sharing a listener’s favorite product for moisturizing hair and scalp product, plus a shine spray Jess loves and an “orbital” balm Jenn has been using incorrectly, to great success.

Whether you’re a beauty enthusiast looking for the next great product or you work in the beauty industry, this interview with Julian Reis, CEO & founder of SuperOrdinary, is a must-listen. He talks about the future of beauty shopping and explains how his company connects brands (think: Olaplex, Nécessaire, Ouai, Farmacy, Milk Makeup) with influencers and KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) in China who sell millions of products via livestreaming platforms such as XiaoHongShu, Douyin, Kuaishou, and Taobao Live. Plus, we talk about the trusted relationship people have with their favorite influencers; why the creator economy is changing; and how his company’s new tool, GalaGala, is democratizing social selling so anyone—not just influencers—can make money if their friends or followers purchase a beauty product they recommend.

January 18, 2023Ep. 471: Tweakments, The FDA’s New Cosmetics Regulations & The Week’s Beauty News
Noninvasive “tweakments” like DiamondGlow facials, Morpheus8, and the Moxi laser are gaining popularity with people who say they’re “high maintenance to be low maintenance.” Meaning: Can getting some cosmetic procedures now mean less makeup, less skincare, and less upkeep in the long run? Let’s discuss! After that: The FDA’s authority over cosmetics regulations is expanding, there’s a correlation between drinking sugary beverages and hair loss, and Jenn geeks out in the science corner. Plus, a listener raises a wand to Lucine, a shop that sources beautiful accessories from around the world, and we are officially obsessed.

January 13, 2023Ep. 470: Setting Intentions with Tennis Star Sloane Stephens
Pro tennis player Sloane Stephens can find a hairstylist in any country, calls candles an essential travel item (she has one from Tom Ford with her at the Australian Open right now!), and knows how to stay moisturized if you’re taking five showers a day (which she often does). In this interview, we talk about her beauty routine and so much more: managing the stress of being a pro athlete, maintaining balance, and setting intentions for the year ahead.

Jess shares what she’s been working on since last summer, when she takes us through the “heroes and hidden gems” from Moda Operandi’s new beauty website—including the dirty, sexy floral fragrance she’s been wearing since fall (and refusing to tell Jenn about until now). Before that, do tween boys need skincare? Plus, a new tool that helps people with limited mobility apply makeup; a tea for people with interstitial cystitis (IC); a dupe for Urban Decay’s legendary Y2K-era Litter nail polish; and a moisturizing serum (without hyaluronic acid!) that Jenn is obsessed with.

January 04, 2023Ep. 467: Let’s Talk About Aging with Kim France (Replay)
Journalist and podcaster Kim France, creator of Girls of A Certain Age and co-host of the Everything is Fine podcast (and the founding editor of Lucky magazine) is here to talk about getting older—which happened to all of us in 2022 (if we were lucky). We discuss "midlife," what age that happens, and whether you need to change up your style and beauty routine when you get there. Plus, what's up with all the in-between ages that our culture and mainstream advertising tend to ignore? Is “anti-aging” a negative term? And so much more. This was our most-downloaded interview of 2022, so we're replaying it before we kick off 2023 with all-new episodes on Friday, January 6.
