Ep. 87: C'est Génial!

This week, Sylvie Chantecaille, founder of (you guessed it) Chantecaille, talks about her start with Diane von Furstenberg, launching Prescriptives, her ultra chic signature line, and how she uses luxury beauty to make the world a better place for bees, lions, elephants, and more.  

Also on this episode: Jess and Jenn discuss Pantone's color of the year, Ultra Violet; the rising K-beauty trend "glass skin"; and how to donate those new and used products you've been hoarding this holiday season. Below are links to the products, brands, and organizations mentioned on the show.

Ep. 86: Commitment to Glamour

This week we have the fabulous (not to mention hilarious) Kristofer Buckle on the pod. As a celebrity makeup artist, Kristofer has worked with everyone from Blake Lively to Mariah Carey, and he has some crazy stories to share (think: how to dolphin-proof Mariah Carey's makeup). He also gives us some genius tips for adjusting your makeup as you age. And you should definitely follow his advice because this guy is 49 but looks like he's 27!

Before that, we discuss discontinued hair products, Racked.com's article about all the swag (and waste) that beauty and fashion editors receive, and those white bumps that often form on the skin around your eyes (it's everyone's friend milia!). Below are links to the products, places, and brands mentioned on the show.

Ep. 85: Hair Is Hair

On this episode, we chat with celebrity stylist Vernon François about about all things textured and natural hair, how he fell in love with hairstyling (hint: it has to do with mops), and some of the biggest challenges he's had to overcome, such as growing up with dyslexia and red hair. He drops major wisdom about your strands—and just life in general. You must check out the Teen Vogue video in which he thanks his dyslexia and his photo in Thomas Knight's Red Hot 100 photo book and ongoing exhibition.

Before that, we test out Kim Kardashian West's Crystal Gardenia fragrance on our new—still unnamed—fragrance -sniffing segment (email us to suggest a name for it!) ; give advice on how to reduce the appearance of stretch marks; and discuss how to clean gross-looking hairbrushes.

Also in this episode: Jenn's experience at Glossier's SoHo fragrance pop-up shop; Bellafill an injectable filler that can last up to 5 years and help with acne scars; and how beauty editors actually test out products (Jenn and Jess are judges for this year's Indie Beauty Expo Best In Show Awards).

Ep. 83: The World Adores an Original

This week, former beauty director for Vogue and host of American Beauty Star, Sarah Brown, gives us the behind-the-scenes scoop on the reality competition TV show and a look back at her 15-year career at the magazine. Perhaps more importantly, she shares the beauty products she can't live without (see the list below).

But before the big interview, we have some things to discuss! First up: all the new hair and body products coming out now (and very soon) that feature micellar technology. We also talk about new laser treatments that rejuvenate your lady parts, including CO2RE Intima, which is available at doctor's offices, including Dr. Paul Frank's in New York City (you may remember him from Episode 19 of the podcast). Finally, we both got a chance to see The Kevyn Aucoin Story: Larger Than Life, the new movie about makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin's life, and we share our thoughts. If you want details on Jess's bachelorette party, keep listening 'til the Raise A Wand segment at the end.

Ep 81: She’s a Magic Girl

Miranda Kerr, supermodel and founder of Kora Organics, sat down with us this week to give a major lesson in self-love, getting over grief, smart business, and modeling. Although she might be known for her modeling career, Miranda reveals that she only really kept with it to support herself, and her true passion in life is actually skincare — one of the main reasons for starting Kora. She also spills her best beauty secrets and why everyone should be trying the "nonini" right now.

Before our chat with Miranda, Jenn shares her hair-mangling experience at Iceland's Blue Lagoon; Jess brings up the hottest hair trend on Pinterest right now; and both discuss why rosacea might be more prevalent now.

Ep. 80: Groupie Central

This week, we interview the interviewer. Bee Shapiro, columnist for the New York Times and author of Skin Deep, takes us through how she went from hedge fund lawyer to beauty journalist (yes, you read that right). In her NYT column, she interviews every major celebrity out there about their beauty and wellness routines, but on the podcast, she tells us which of those women are actually a pretty good hang, as well. Aside from being an A-list journo, Bee's also a beauty entrepreneur: On the show, she explains the motivation behind her two-year-old sustainable fragrance line, Ellis Brooklyn, named after her first daughter.

Before we chat with Bee, get ready to hear the true story of Sally Hansen; what lash tinting entails (and why Jess got it); and what types of sheet masks actually work.

Jared Bailey, global brow expert for Benefit Cosmetics, gave us his best tricks for achieving the perfect brows, avoiding the dreaded "sperm brow," and matching your brows to your hair color.

Before the brow banter, Jess and Jenn spill the deets on American Beauty Star, healthy nail pro tips, and what the hell ultrasonic water exfoliation is.
