We are so freaking excited to be doing a cross-over pod with our buddies Kate Spencer and Doree Shafrir, hosts of the Forever35 podcast. (Yes, that’s the podcast we lost the iHeart Radio Podcast Award to, but couldn’t have lost to a better duo!). The four of us sit down for a bi-coastal chat about all the Important Things: friendship maintenance, face mists, maintaining boundaries, and, of course, bidets. Before that, we discuss the week’s beauty news (see below) and lymphatic drainage facials, and Jess learns about “juicing your brows” from Chanel’s U.S. brow artists Jimena Garcia.

Ep. 186: The Truth About MLMs

December 17, 2019 Fat Mascara

MLMs (aka, brands that do multi-level marketing) have caught the attention of the beauty world—for better or worse. Some see the direct selling business model as entrepreneurial and perfect for the social media age; others see it as predatory, accusing the brands of giving consultants false expectations about what they can expect to earn (and potentially lose). We invited Dr. Thomai Serdari, a professor at NYU’s Stern Business school and a strategist in luxury marketing and branding, to help us wade through this hot-button topic.

But that’s not all we have on the podcast! Before the interview, Jenn brings us up to speed on another hair “water” she tried, we share pro secrets for making red hair dye look natural, and we discuss the Netflix series Broken’s episode about beauty counterfeiting.

Ep 185: Dr. Barbara Sturm Says We Shouldn't Suffer for Beauty

December 10, 2019 Fat Mascara

Dr. Barbara Sturm, founder of Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics

Hey, Fat Mascara Fam! Our guest on this episode is Dr. Barbara Sturm, founder of Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics. She talks about her skincare line, the problems with over-exfoliation (she is not a P50 fan), vampire facials, and why lowering inflammation and activating telomeres are the keys to great skin.

We also discuss our favorite charities to support this time of year (the list is below) and why we're obsessed with L’Oréal Elvive 8 Second Wonder Water. Lastly, we talk about the House of Representatives Committee on Energy & Commerce’s hearing on Building Consumer Confidence by Empowering FDA to Improve Cosmetic Safety (if you have three and a half hours to spare, you can watch it here) and an article about the hearing on Good Morning America’s website.

On this week’s episode, we start out by asking you guys for help. We’re working on a podcast about social selling and MLM—brands that rely on multi-level marketing—in the beauty space, and we want to know what questions you have. Nu Skin, Oriflamme, Arbonne, Rodan + Fields, Mary Kay, Younique, Avon…what do you want to know about these types of companies and this subset of the beauty biz? Email us at info@fatmascara.com with your questions and thoughts so we can address them in an upcoming episode.

Now, let’s get into the show! On episode 184, we interview Julie Schott, co-founder and CEO of Starface and former beauty director of Elle.com. She talks about the acne acceptance movement, hydrocolloid patches, her must-have beauty products and services—and coffee enemas, 90 Day Fiancé, and oversharing on Instagram. We also discussed Coty buying Kylie Cosmetics (full disclosure: we recorded this episode back in November when the news was fresh) and then we chat about ways to prevent raw skin and nose flakes when you have a cold.
