Like it or not, when celebrities talk about getting cosmetic procedures, they get attention. This week, we discuss the impulse to judge (and danger of judging!) others’ aesthetic choices, and share straightforward information on two procedures that have been in the spotlight: buccal fat removal and CoolSculpting. Plus, Doja Cat’s entrée into beauty; perfumes inspired by video games; a Sour Patch Kids makeup-setting spray (?!); TLC’s medical dermatology show Dr. Mercy; and the surprising evolutionary advantage of having a beard.
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 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. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
