Phew, that’s a lot. Let’s get into it.

In this episode I’m looking at the Mob Wife Aesthetic, what it is, why it started and why at times it kind of looks like classism because some of the comments on the trend are a little too dismissive.

As well as giving my take on the reaction to the trend, I reached out to former guest, Brooklyn-born, New York-based makeup artist Isabel Rosado. She is someone who isn’t just a fan of iconic Mob Wives or girlfriends such as Adriana La Cerva, a key character from The Sopranos – Isabel has worn the look in various iterations since her teen years.

I also check in with my London born and bred friend Keisha Rachele who shares her love for the aesthetic and links it to her own style memories of growing up in Notting Hill.

I'd love to know your thoughts, especially if you're from the UK and have also noticed some similarities! DM me at @beautymepodcast on X or Instagram and be sure to check my videos on the trend over on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@charissekenion

Today I wanted to get into the recently banned advert for Calvin Klein featuring singer FKA Twigs. The brand has been hitting us from all angles with multiple campaigns for Spring ‘24 starring The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White in his boxer briefs and we’ve also seen Kendall Jenner in this campaign.

In this episode I examine the controversial history of Calvin Klein ads before discussing why the Advertising Standards Agency here in the UK decided to ban the image of FKA Twigs. I call upon writer Ata-Owaji Victor to share her thoughts on the isms of it all, including racism, sexism and colourism.

I’d love to know what do you think about the ad?

What do you think about it being banned?

Is it a big deal?

Do you feel sorry for FKA Twigs?

I’ll be sure to post a questionnaire for anyone listening on Spotify, but if you’re listening elsewhere feel free to tag me when you’re listening and share your thoughts, or DM me on Instagram or X @beautymepodcast.

Don’t forget to hit subscribe or follow wherever you’re listening so you never miss another episode, and if you don’t already know, look out for my new series The Week in Beauty. See you next time and thanks for listening.

It’s the first episode of a brand new year, and in this episode I’m talking about the Ins and Outs lists that we’ve been seeing all over social media.

As well as sharing my own list, which includes beauty, social media etiquette and gatekeeping – I want to bring it back! – I share some ins and outs from other fashion and beauty names, including former guest Mandy Lee, the fashion writer and analyst who’s also known as @oldloserinbrooklyn. I also share some comments from Kirbie Johnson, co-host of the Gloss Angeles podcast.

Of course, I also want to know your ins and outs – or, tell me if you’re over these lists already! DM me @beautymepodcast on Instagram or X and let me know. For me the lists are a bit of fun but can also be useful in the sense that it doesn’t hurt to think about our habits from time to time, and see if we might want to change something. If you're listening on Spotify be sure to add your ins and outs in the poll on the show page!

Above all else, I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you did, it would be great if you could review, share and subscribe. See you next time!

It’s the final episode of 2023 and because it's been quite a year, I'm ending on the concept of selfcare. In this episode I'm sharing my thoughts on several body creams, lotions and exfoliants that are all aimed at caring for your skin in the colder months.

I’d love to know if you’ve tried any of the products I mention before and I’d really love to know the products that you consider to be your essentials when it comes to hydrating your winter skin.

Let me know in the DMs over on @beautymepodcast on Instagram or X and feel free to get in touch over on my TikTok @charissekenion.

As mentioned this is the last episode of 2023 so I want to thank you for every single time you’ve hit play on an episode of the Beautyme Podcast. See you next year.
