Ep. 129: Works Cited

Hairstylist Jawara is one of the most in-demand stylists in fashion today thanks to his creativity, speed, and expertise with ALL hair types. We discuss why the latter is still (!) a rarity in fashion, and how the industry can fix the problem. Plus, Jawara discusses #assistantlife, working with frequent collaborator Solange, the secret sauce in his bag, and his recipe for the sexiest cologne on earth. Before that: the business of being a beauty influencer, the Deciem kerfuffle, and beauty companies faking customer reviews.

Ep. 128: Somebody's Hoarding Makeup

Luke Henderson is back in the studio for a cozy beauty chat with Jess (Jenn is away this week), and all bets are off: We're talking celeb trends that just ain't working, $3 skincare secrets, product hoarding, Domino's pizza, the best spa in New York, Kate Middleton's beauty evolution, and lots of other dishy bits.

Ep. 127: The Don

John Demsey doesn’t give interviews often, but when he does…woo hoo! The executive group president of Estée Lauder Companies Inc.—i.e., the man in charge of Clinique, MAC, Tom Ford Beauty, Jo Malone London, Smashbox, Prescriptives, Aramis, Too Faced, Becca, By Kilian, GlamGlow, Editions de Parfums Frédéric Malle, Le Labo and RODIN olio lusso—is in the studio to talk about his career, share some personal stories, and offer up advice to would-be beauty entrepreneurs. We also talk about spending money on fragrances (and the perfume Jess picked up in Amsterdam), whether or not face rollers work, and teeny, tiny, annoying pimples.

Ep. 126: Don't @ Me

Jess is in Germany on a work trip and left Jenn all alone. But, not to worry, Jenn brought a friend to fill in: People style and beauty director Andrea Lavinthal. Andrea shares what it’s like in the magazine’s “war room” during a red carpet event, her favorite beauty products, her worst beauty treatment ever (all we can say is “shredded carrots”), and why Sean “Diddy” Combs will probably never speak to her again. After that, Andrea and Jenn talk about frizzy-hair fixes and discuss what beauty brands do (and don’t) get out of hiring a famous spokesperson.

Ep. 125: Let's Talk About Lady Parts

Drink every time we say vagina! Just kidding…but not really. Lo Bosworth, co-host of the podcast Lady Lovin, founder of the wellness company Love Wellness, and former pseudo-reality TV star (Laguna Beach, The Hills), is in the studio. Her company makes feminine care products, so we talk a lot about lady parts. Even if that discussion doesn’t interest you, there’s plenty of other good stuff in this episode! We present a case for the beginning of a less- (or even no-) makeup era in which the “Instagram aesthetic” starts to wane. Jess shares her experience at the the Avant Garden exhibit presented by International Flavors & Fragrances (IFF). And there’s also some clarification on what essentials oils are and how to use them (after the past few episodes, we felt that was in order).

Olivia Wilde is in the House (get it?). The actress, producer, and director signed on as True Botanicals’ “brand activist” and she’s here to talk all about it with Jenn.

But, don’t worry, there’s more in the episode: We share the gossip from Fashion Week and our favorite beauty looks we’ve seen thus far; discuss the recent fluoride-free-toothpaste trend; and then Jenn shares her experience with compression therapy (she tried the Ballancer Pro at Dominique Bossavy’s new studio in New York City).
