Y’all know there’s no gatekeeping around here! Today, we’re dishing about the new, undetectable era in cosmetic surgery with one of the go-to experts of our time, Dr. Catherine Chang. The board-certified, quadruple Ivy league-educated plastic surgeon is known for her attention to meticulous detail, hidden incisions and faster healing at her Prive Beverly Hills clinic. 

In this episode, we’re getting all of her pro takes on the hallmarks of undetectable plastic surgery, what to ask for when undergoing blepharoplasty and why so many surgeons get it wrong. 

You’ll learn about:

• The “Bijoux Lift,” Dr. Chang’s signature mini-lift technique designed for people in their 20s (?!) and 30s, and why Dr. Chang doesn’t promote thread lifts for premature signs of aging
• Thinking about blepharoplasty? The advantages of going under the knife early for this popular surgery, according to the pro
• “Jellyroll Botox” – while North Americans are obliterating creases under the eyes, why the Korean market is embracing under eye contours with makeup, according to the pro
• Lasers, PRP and more – The non-surgical rejuvenation treatments that Dr. Chang uses herself to maintain a locked-in-time look
• Everything to know about Dr. Chang’s own line of skincare, NakedBeauty MD, that grew from cult-favourite hydrogel under eye patches (Carlene is a fan!) to her newly released growth factor eye serum

This week, we’re welcoming Jackie Burke, founder of safe-for-sensitive ears jewelry brand, Tini Lux. Jackie left a career in engineering to found Tini Lux after years of frustration with so-called “hypoallergenic” earrings that failed to live up to their promise. Now, the style-whiz entrepreneur is making the case for medical-grade titanium earrings to live alongside beauty products in the aisles of Sephora. This uninterrupted conversation is brought to you by TiniLux.

You’ll discover:

• The reason that Jackie is on a mission to get Tini Lux recognized as a skincare-adjacent brand, making her non-irritating earrings available where you buy your beauty staples
• The “fine jewelry myth” –  why 24-carat gold and sterling silver earrings aren’t the “gold standard” in skin-compatibility that you may think, according to the jewelry innovator 
• Why she believes that ‘hypoallergenic’ is an empty marketing buzzword in the jewelry industry
• Hack alert! Should you apply petroleum jelly to your studs before putting on earrings? The pro weighs in
• Plot twist –  Why Jackie has gained a cult-like following on TikTok, where her Outfit Formula videos deconstruct the secret to perfect ‘fits using clever style math

Today we’re chatting with Texas-based, 23-year-old beauty creator Golloria George. Named People Magazine’s Beauty Creator of the Year and Forbes’ 30 under 30 last year, Golloria has amassed 3.2 million followers on TikTok, where she swatches the darkest shade of makeup on her South Sudanese complexion – revealing a lack of shade range in plain site in her viral videos that hold the industry accountable. (Most famously, Youthforia’s “‘tar in a bottle” blunder had retailers pulling the brand from store shelves).

Tune in as Golloria gets candid about her upbringing before rising to beauty fame, sharing the insightful learnings she’s earned along the way to power-ranking status.

You’ll discover:

• The backstory behind the Youthforia debacle, including how the brand reacted behind the scenes, and the prelude that added fuel to the fire
• What makes Golloria want to consult for a brand, and what has her turning some companies away 
• What led to Golloria’s social media hiatus, and how she came back with a whole new attitude
• What the influencer community’s wage gap is really like
• Everything she’s loving in her own beauty cabinet, from her ride or die foundation, bronzer, sunscreen, and the perfumes that get her the most compliments
• The cosmetics brand that she feels still excludes people of colour, in spite of internet protests
• The creators she co-signs, New York girlies included

Drugstore beauties, rejoice! This week’s #DamnGood reccos are all under $20, and trust us, they’re just as good as their luxury counterparts. Hear all about our latest economical beauty finds, from the long-lasting lip tints that are currently driving makeup sales to a haircare “Wirkin” (that’s the Walmart Birkin) that’s as designer-y as the salon priced stuff. With this kind of  #girlmath, you can afford to buy twice as much!?

Plus, you’ll discover:

• The “Raisin” drugstore lip tint that was revived from the beauty graveyard, and is even more universally flattering than Clinique Black Honey, according to Carlene
• Jill puts a questionable “plumping lip liner” to the test
• An anti-humidity rain slicker for your hair that keeps hair smooth for days – at a fraction of the price of the original wow-worthy innovation
• The minty overnight lip mask that’s mercifully in a tube instead of a tub – and sold out the first time it was released (carts at the ready!)
• A tropics-inspired cashmere body cream that’s as big of a hit with alpha TikTokers as the best-selling Sephora version
• The budget-friendly body serums bringing face care active ingredients to the rest of your body
• #ICYMI CeraVe launched haircare, and we’ve got your review

What will define beauty in 2025? This week, we’re sharing some brands that have us excited for the year ahead - from a UK celeb makeup-artist backed range that’s lazy/busy approved, to hotly anticipated celeb launches from Pamela Anderson and Paris Hilton, and all the highlights from French beauty’s big skincare renaissance. 

Plus, in partnership with Neal’s Yard Remedies, stay tuned for an exclusive interview with Anabel Kindersley, the woman who’s bringing an iconic British apothecary line already adored by Kate Moss, Sarah Jessica Parker – and all of Japan – to North American shores.

You’ll also learn about:

• Celebrity crush. Paris Hilton’s masterstroke in re-entering the cosmetics space with 11:11, and the update on Pamela Anderson’s slow beauty investment, Sonsie Skin
• The luxury skincare line that piqued our attention with the founder’s pedigree in the esthetics world (but would you pay $82 for a powder cleanser?!)
• The sculptural French hairbrush company that’s giving trad fave Mason Pearson a run for its money
• *Sponsored segment –  Neal’s Yard Remedies co-owner Anabel Kindersley shares the benefits of bees for our skin – and the planet. Plus, what happens when small-batch beauty meets high-tech and everything to know about the best-selling Wild Rose Beauty Balm (a new fave for Carlene!)

What if we don’t age in a linear pattern, and instead, experience pronounced “bursts” at ages 44 and 60? The latest study out Stanford Medicine published in the scientific journal, Nature, has given the skincare community a lot to mull over. Today, we’re welcoming double-board certified dermatologist, cosmetic surgeon and host of the Derm Approved podcast, Dr. Sheila Farhang, to help us break it all down. 

Listen in as Dr. Sheila explains the best way to prepare for an aging “spike” and tune in until the end to hear her predictions for what we’ll all be talking about in 2025.

You’ll hear about:

• “Prejuvenation” secrets: The treatments to invest in before your next spike, and what she’s *personally* stopped doing this year (buh-bye masseter Botox!)
• Where to click to find your best dermatologist provider, for cosmetic or medical purposes, without any spon-con
• Is there a “secret” menu at your dermatologist’s office that we should know about?? The cocktailing injection fads that are and aren’t worth trying, according to the derm
• Dr. Sheila’s response to filler fatigue, “perception drift” and where some injectors have gone way overboard
• Getting filler dissolved? Listen to what Dr. Sheila has to say first 
• The surprising ingredient that she predicts will be big in 2025, beyond its gimmicky reputation
• The peer-reviewed injectors seal of approval list we mention is Castle Connolly and esthetic concierge services like Persana

Pssst! We were guests over on Dr. Sheila’s podcast, Derm Approved, discussing how to manage tough-to-treat areas like eye bags and jowls. Tune in here to listen!

Today’s uninterrupted, bonus episode is in partnership with our friends at Allies of Skin. Meet Nicolas Travis, the biochemist and pharmaceutical scientist-turned-skincare entrepreneur who founded Allies of Skin after a sudden accident resulted in devastating facial injuries and years of inner trauma. 

Listen in as Nicolas spills the secrets behind the viral, feel-good brand that’s earned more than 30 internationally-recognized beauty awards, along with a loyal community that includes Hailey Bieber, January Jones and Kaia Gerber. *Please note that the topics of abuse, trauma and suicide are discussed.  

You’ll find out:

• From peptides to growth factors, exosomes, snail mucin and more - we learn which ingredients are worth the investment for your skin concern.

• For reference, the book we mention is “The Body Keeps The Score”

Today, we’re welcoming Abbey Yung, certified trichologist and beauty content creator, boasting over one million hair-obsessed fans and followers. If you’ve ever had any questions about how to achieve long hair, how to know if you’re going to experience hair loss and which budget shampoos work just as well as expensive salon brands, you’ll definitely want to hear from the former bleach queen who’s turned her hair from broken to buff – and made a whole career out of it in the process.

Tune in to learn: 

• Hair repair 101: From double-cleansing to pre-oiling, the exact steps that Abbey followed to turn her brassy and broken locks to brilliant and healthy – and the TikTok trends she chooses to ignore (rice water, anyone??)
• Which haircare ingredients have been needlessly demonized, and whether there’s an ingredient out there that would send her running
• Abbey’s honest review of Blake Brown, the haircare range from Blake Lively
• The trichologist’s all-time favourite hair tools (that you might need a long-haul flight to secure)
• The drugstore item she swears by for her own hair’s signature, mirror-like shine

Today we’re welcoming the “Perfume Princess,” Mona Kattan! Mona is a serial entrepreneur, co-founder of Huda Beauty (alongside her sisters Huda and Alya Kattan) and founder of the smash hit fragrance brand, Kayali. Since its 2018 debut, fans like Cardi B flock to Kayali’s mouth-watering, gourmand scents, like Yum Pistachio and their best-selling, Vanilla 28 Eau de Parfum. We find out what’s behind the perfume hype, and why the Dubai Bling cast member is so much more than her lavish image.

Tune in to hear about: 

• How Mona tapped into her Middle Eastern roots, and its rich tradition of fragrance wearing, to share the power of perfume with the world
• Why the Kayali owner likens “oud” in perfumery to truffle oil in cuisine – and how to make the luxuriously rich fragrance note work for real life
• How layering unexpected perfume pairings can yield the best results (sparkling lychee and patchouli, anyone?)
• The avid scent collector’s 5,000 fragrance piece perfume library in Dubai – and the *one* that remains her favourite to this day.
• Why Mona proudly considers herself an empath, and how her most vulnerable trait became the rocketfuel to building a global fragrance empire
