Before there were DE&I initiatives, shade range expansions, and the branding of “Black-owned” beauty, there was Fashion Fair Cosmetics. Launched back in 1973 by Ebony Magazine’s Eunice Johnson, Fashion Fair has always been created by and made for Black women. And after co-owners Desiree Rogers and Cheryl Mayberry McKissack purchased the brand in 2017, the brand’s revival has been nothing short of extraordinary. Tune in as I sit down with Desiree to discuss her experience re-launching Fashion Fair and creating equity within the Black community, her personal relationship with beauty and style, and her vast career journey from Obama’s White House to the cosmetics industry.

Over this past year, it has become clear that the skincare industry has reached an inflection point. The market is incredibly oversaturated, celebrities are launching their own skincare lines each week, and anti-girlboss culture has arrived. Perhaps the most striking events to mark this moment are Emily Weiss’s decision to step down as the CEO of Glossier and Kim Kardashian’s launch of her own nine-product line, SKKN. Tune in as Recho Omondi, thought leader and host of The Cutting Room Floor podcast, stops by for a nuanced conversation on the innovation that Glossier brought to beauty culture as well as what Kim K’s entrance into the skincare game could mean for the industry.

Diets are one of the most problematic and disturbing traps of beauty culture. As we head into this new year and consider what our resolutions might be, I want to address this topic and my own relationship and awareness around dieting growing up. Meal planning, cutting sugar, tracking calories, cutting carbs — all of it is a slippery slope towards an unhealthy and unsustainable relationship with food. In this episode, I offer two ideas that have helped me work towards a healthy relationship with both food and my body and I hope they’ll be helpful to you. Enjoy!

Self-care didn’t always come naturally to Rosie Acosta. In fact, after growing up in East LA throughout the 90s (including during the LA riots), stress and anxiety seemed to rule her life. But today, as a yoga, meditation, and mindfulness instructor, Acosta is truly on a journey towards healing, gratitude, and radical love. Tune in to hear us discuss everything from occupying predominately white wellness spaces, to Chola beauty culture, to managing stress over the holiday season, and so much more. Enjoy!

This episode is all about the next generation of beauty lovers: Gen-Z. Growing up in a world dominated by social media, influencers, and what often feels like an infinite selection of beauty products is entirely different from my own experience as a teenager in the early 2000s. And so, I decided to sit down with three incredibly cool, mature, and honest Gen-Z girls to get their take on beauty, fashion, mental health, race, and of course, Emma Chamberlain. Enjoy!

DJ, culture creator, and iconic New Yorker @venusx is truly THAT GIRL. Growing up as a young girl in Washington Heights, Venus was exposed to beauty, music, and fashion in an incredibly unique way. From spending hours in the Dominican hair salon, to waitressing at Jay Z’s 40/40 club and starring in A$AP Rocky’s “Peso” video, yes she’s the girl with the green hair, she has taken her own brand of nightlife and fashion around the world through her @ghettogothic rave and work with pop singer MIA, Venus has really done it all.

We talk everything from #celibacy to yoga and home cooked vegetables for #wellness and #beauty — for Venus it’s all about BALANCE.

Tune in to hear more about her career journey, the struggle between self-care and nightlife, practicing celibacy, and so much more. Enjoy!

After spending an incredible seven weeks in Turkey this past summer with Mavi, my husband, and his family, I knew that I had to share my experience with the Naked Beauty community. As a beauty lover, foodie, and Black woman who has married into this culture, Turkey has become like a second home to me and a place that I believe is so often misunderstood. Luckily my two friends, Turkish comedian Lesli Karavil and Black American ex-pat Courtney Shay, agreed to sit down with me and unpack all that comes with living in this country. From exploring the various ways in which women choose to self-present, to embracing stillness as a means of femininity, to finding beauty services as a Black woman in Istanbul, there is so much nuance and uniqueness to unpack in this episode. In fact, you might just have to listen twice!

If the creamy conditioner, silky hair oils, or adorable “puffs” (AKA scrunchies) created by Bread Beauty Supply’s Maeva Heim have yet to grace your Instagram feed, trust me - you are missing out. Born as a biracial Black girl in Australia and raised by a mother who owned her own African hair braiding salon, there was no question that Maeva was set to make a unique mark on the world of haircare. And so after searching high and low for a textured haircare brand that wasn’t corporate, confusing, or impersonal but that could still provide premium quality ingredients, Bread was born. Tune in for an incredible discussion on growing up Black in Australia, launching an “it girl” brand in the middle of a pandemic, and the beauty of  redefining the rules for textured hair. Enjoy!

Tune in for this special 2019 throwback episode with Into the Gloss’s Senior Editor Ashley Weatherford!

From applying Sun In to her hair in high school, to swiping samples in Sephora, to preparing for her own ITG Top Shelf, this woman has truly done it all.
