Fall is almost officially here, and we’re breaking down the season’s must-have beauty products and viral trends – from “toasty” eyeshadow palettes and a soft matte makeup revival to luxe “skin-silking” serums. Plus, our takes on the latest celebrity beauty launches and stay tuned to the end to hear about a $4.99 mascara that we both rate, and a rock-bottom budget acne find from The Ordinary.
You’ll learn about:
- The expert-led brands ushering in a whole new beauty era — We test Jennifer Aniston's hairstylist Chris McMillan's Glassy Blowout Spray, the revolutionary “underpainting” palette from Hailey Bieber makeup artist Mary Philips, and the new Eyeshadow Colorstory Palettes by Selena Gomez's pro, Hung Vanngo
- What sets Victoria Beckham’s splurgy Foundation Drops apart from her contemporaries (hint, Professor Bader’s back in the house of Beckham!)
- First impressions of Martha Stewart’s skincare line — and the reason we’re not writing it off as just another celebrity line yet
- The soft matte renaissance— meet Glossier’s 2.0 Cloud Paint “Plush” Blush, fluffier powders and “3D matte”
- Do we really need a $200 snatching serum for those on GLP-1 weight loss medications?!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
