In this episode, I’m covering the UK cool kids brand, Rimmel. From a leading 1830s Victorian perfumery with French roots to creating the modern London look, the Rimmel story is rich with history, innovation, and iconic partnerships.

In this episode, I’m covering Tarte Cosmetics, the brand that started as a cheek stain in a one bedroom NYC apartment and grew into a global beauty powerhouse. From Amazonian Clay to Shape Tape, Tarte has created many cult-status franchises and a little thing known as “influencer brand trips”. This week, I’m going to have you pick what I should try from the brand (I surprisingly don’t own anything by them!). So after you listen to the episode, let me know which product I should try by voting in the poll below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

In this episode, I’m covering Almay, the brand that created the first ever hypoallergenic makeup back in 1931 (!). I talk about their quick growth from prescription-only cosmetics to becoming a drugstore icon with their oil-free eye makeup remover, clear skin foundation, and eye-enhancing shadow palettes. Not to mention their recent resurgence thanks to a 2026 rebrand with their new ambassador, Miranda Kerr.

I dive into their origin story, all their sub-brands (8 at one time!), their tumultuous 2022-2025 period, and why they’re hoping that bringing back their original leadership team will lead them through a brand reset.
