Welcome to our garden party! We’ll tell you why rose water is so great for skin (in a segment sponsored by Crabtree & Evelyn). Before that, we dig into the latest beauty news: racism against the AAPI community and what the beauty world can do; an animal-testing ban in Virginia; the fake online beauty retailer that helps domestic abuse victims; a gin byproduct that’s getting upcycled into beauty products; and new research that explains why odors trigger memories. Plus, Jess shares behind-the-scenes details from her recent HarpersBazaar.com interview with Gwyneth Paltrow.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter, or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show.
