Speaker 1 (00:08):
You're listening to I'm Mom and mea podcast. Makeup is
My Therapy, the Love.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm obsessed and I don't even feel guilty about it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, and welcome to Your Beauty the podcast In Your Face.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hi, Emilie Campbell, I'm Killer mccharen.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now, before we get into your beauty dilemmas, let's hear
from the gals in what's new with the Beauty Edit.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome back to the Beauty Edit. I'm Cass MoMA me
is morning editor.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And I'm Taylor Strato, host of Mama MIA's news podcast,
The Quickie Cast. Thank you for having me back again
this week. Let us not waste any more time. Tell
me and the ubis what's making beauty news?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, Taylor, I think you'll be excited by this one.
The Queen of pop, Dua Leaper has launched an entry
level skin hairline with none other than the least entry
level brand ever, augustin as Beta. It's gonna be called
Dua by ab Science, and she's calling it collaboration with
the best of the best. Taylor, are you familiar with
Augustin Espata I am.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
And when you say entry level, Augustinas Beta is not
the brand that comes to mind for me, so I'm
very curious to know how this is going to play
out exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Look, it's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They're going to be only launching three products, so that's
a cleanser, a glow complex, and a renewal cream, and
they're going to retail between around forty dollars and eighty
five dollars aud. So it's a dramatically lowered price point
to what we're seeing from the core creams from this brand,
which usually are around two hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Look, I'm all for letting people play in a luxury
beauty space without a luxury beauty price tag. But when
I think about beauty and skincare and collaborations with celebrities,
I don't know if Jua Lipa was the first name
that would have come to mind for me. Is she
like a big skincare girl? And I just don't know it.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Look, she's been a longtime fan of Augustin Aespata as
a brand, so it does make sense for her. But no,
she's never really dabbled in this space before. And it's
also a relatively new thing for Augustin and is Beta
as well. I mean, this is their first collab since
they did Victoria back in Beauty back in twenty nineteen.
They are very exclusive with who they choose to mesh
(02:17):
their brand with, and I do think it's interesting that
they've chosen someone typically out of the beauty space. So, Taylor,
do you know about what makes Augustin and Spda so
popular and why it's such a big deal to offer
it at this price range.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Look, I have a feeling it has something to do
with very expensive labs and very expensive things that we
put on our face and pay the price and tell
ourselves that it's all going to work out for the best.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Look, you're hitting it on the head there.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It is due to their labs and a particular patented
complex that they have called TFC eight. So this is
called a trigger factor complex and it's kind of the
cornerstone of the brand, so as you can probably tell
by the name TFC eight. And then what is in
dou A Leaper's line is TFC five.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's basically a slightly.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Reduced version, kind of a light version of what we
know from Augustina Spadas. So I'm kind of calling it
like a younger sister. It's designed as a more accessible
price point. I would say for more younger people who
don't need full on, you know, reduction of signs of aging,
but maybe just want to help prevent the onslaught of
(03:24):
aging that we find as we get sort of into
our twenties and thirties.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, kes, I want to take you on a different
beauty journey with our next story. So, Kim Kardashian household name,
friend of the pod, has been making moves in her
beauty business world. So as we know, Kim Kardashian, the
Kardashian family in general have had many a business venture.
They've offered many a product, some of them more questionable
than others, which leads us to where we are now.
(03:48):
Skims is like that magic thing. She's stuck a whole
bunch of stuff at the wall, and this is the
brand that's stuck. We're obsessed with Skims, we know what,
we love it. And so as part of the next
expansion of that brand, Kim has done this incredible thing
where she's basically recouped the skin by Kim brand. Do
you remember she had that skin care line with all
of those weird geometric, architecturally designed bottles.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, I remember, And actually not to say we called it,
but on a few episodes ago when we were talking
about the end of Skin by Kim, we actually did
say that this kind of acquisition might be in the books. So, Taylor,
I'm excited to learn more now that we kind of
predicted it.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Well, yeah, acquisition being the key word. They're essentially Kim
has brought back the rights to Skin by Kim. It
was owned by her, but also by Coti, who own
a whole bunch of beauty brands all across the US
and the world. So from twenty twenty six, we're expecting
this sort of expansion to Skim's Skin or Skim's Beauty.
I think is probably a more accurate depiction of what
(04:50):
we'll expect. And we know it's serious, right because she's
put some really big names and I'm assuming some big
money behind this too. So a veteran of the beauty
industry is jah Raji. She worked at places like Lareel
before starting her own beauty brand, Army Colaie, and she'll
be the executive vice president of Beauty and Fragrance. So
I don't know, Skims come for the bodysuits, maybe stay
(05:12):
for the skincare. In twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And speaking of celebrity beauty brands, there's another one facing
a bit of a media storm. So if you're a
pretty little lie fan like me, you'll definitely know actress
Shane Mitchell. She just launched a kid's skincare line called Rinny.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's for kids.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's a k beauty inspired skincare and play line. And
I think it was the ages that really stopped everyone
in their tracks, because it's ages three and up. Taylor,
What is everybody saying about this?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah, this is an interesting one and something that we've
actually also looked at over on the Quiki because this idea,
this debate of should parents let their kids use makeup
and skin care is not new. It's been raging for
ages now. But what if celebrity enters the chat, everybody
picks up their attention again. So I spoke to doctor
Michelle Wong, who folks might know as Love Muff and
(06:00):
Beauty Science, all about well, should we let our kids
use this stuff? What are they even putting on their faces?
She didn't seem to have an issue with this particular offering.
Shae Mitchell is putting out in the first launch a
bunch of face masks, they'll have very cute animal prints
and faces on them, and they contain things like Alvira
and Alan Towen, so nothing too active or regressive foreskin
(06:22):
and for little skin specifically, but culturally, I think when
people see young people interested in things like skincare and makeup,
there's this perception that they're trying to grow up too quickly,
or that they're being the target of mass marketing and consumerism,
and that in itself, I think is a different discussion.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But I do think that a lot of people feel
uncomfortable about the kind of commodification of beauty to children,
especially because a lot of the beauty industry is about
like enhancing your features, and the idea of like fixing
an imperfection for a young, especially very young person, is
a little bit worrying in saying that, you know, I
was a dance girl, I was in full blown makeup
(07:02):
aged five. I was taking my makeup off with adult
cleanses and they probably we weren't good for little skin.
So and you know, even face painting if you're not
in the arts. But I think there's a case for it,
but definitely controversial, and I can see how people would
see it as a money grab.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, totally, but again, like I would counter that, like
we live in Australia and you should always be putting
SBF on your face. But things like a lavera, which
is one of those main ingredients, are great for after
sun soothing, and I think if the experts don't have
too much of an issue with it, it's more just
a conversation that you should be having with your kids
at home.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's definitely one that's starting up, that's for sure. So
that's all your beauty edit for this week. Let's go
back into your dilemmas with Lee and Kelly.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That was interesting, Kelly, what color can't you wear? You're
in a most beautiful future pink dress.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
With a green a lime green heel. Why don't just
throw my foot up so aggressive?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I liked it. It's like you had that you know,
that the doctor knocker thing when owl that hurt? Oh?
Is there a color that doesn't see you?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yes? Yellow.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't look great in yellow, yellow or orange like
I'll still do, but it's not fab on.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, you just suit color so much.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Purple. I'm not great with cool tones.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You are some though, Do you know what I reckon
it's all like if you can own it and you
just are having fun?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I like yellow gray?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, I'm winter.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I wear gray gray. It's not a color, it's a shave. Anyway,
should we get out awesome questions? And the first one
is quite timely, so we better hoh.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Oh, my god, and thank godly actually prepped to the
first one because I read it and my notes are
pretty much it's a bloody joke.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I literally wrote, it's a joke.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, good do you want me to read it then?
Because you've want you to read the question? Okay, not
that it's a bloody joke you've already told us.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Ladies, Please rescue me from the overwhelm of all of
these sales. I'm excited and confused, Black Friday, Cyber Monday,
all the other reasons may feed an inbox cannot keep up?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
What should I buy?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I mean, I know I don't need to buy anything,
but any tips on how to take advantage of the sales?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What are you two buying?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It's a very overwhelming of year. I must admit. If
you don't check your promotions tab in your email for
like three minutes and then it's like, would you like
to delete ten thousand million emails. Maybe that's just me,
but yes, it's a great time to purchase if you
want to save some money, but it's a bad time
to easily waste money if you don't need to want
a little history lesson on Black Friday. No, oh, well,
I'm going to give you one. Oh. I found it
(09:28):
really interesting. So the term I simply don't. Okay, Well,
Kelly is not going to be here for this question.
I'm going to make her answer all of the second question.
The term black Friday was first used in the US
in the fifties or sixties by the police because after
Thanksgiving there was huge crowds in the city for holiday shopping.
So think back in the day, if you're old enough,
our Boxing day sales before online shopping was a thing.
(09:49):
People used to like line up at my own David
six in the morning, the roller shut at all would
go and people to like trample each other.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And you'd see in movies it was represented or TV shows,
like in pop culture from the eighties nineties, people would
flood into shops and like literally trample over each other,
kick each other.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, yes, so it was kind of like that. But
there's this after Thanksgiving, which of course is earlier in
the year than Christmas. We don't have Thanksgiving. But also
there was a big I don't know, I can't remember
which city it is, but there was a huge annual
football game. So it was just nuts. So the police
called it black Fridays in like black dark terrible because
it was a bad day to be on the roster
as a police person.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Then in the nineteen eighties, retailers reinterpreted it. So still
online shopping is not a thing, because everyone thinks it's online,
but it's not a thing. But they kind of made
it more positive and that shops in the black black
is good, like we're making money and shops in the
red losing money. So then everyone started doing sales so
they could be in the black, you know, not losing money.
Hence why it's called black Friday. And then obviously in
(10:47):
the two thousand one. Obviously in the two thousands it
kind of went global. It's a shopping tradition in America,
but we everywhere everywhere does it. Back then, of course,
it was still you know, online was starting out, but
it was big lines, crowds, that whole shebang. Now a
lot of people think that it's mostly online retailers, but
stores do it too. It started out of stores, physical stores,
and so that's when you can save a lot of money.
(11:10):
And we do it globally. Even though we don't have
a thanksgiving thank you for coming to my history lesson.
Now what are we gonna buy? I mean, I have
a lot of tips. I'm an impulsive shopper, so that's
not a good thing to say, so don't listen to
no no. But I'm good with beauty because also I think,
you know, unless it's a foundation, one size fits all,
whereas if it's a top or a dress and it's like,
oh my site, you know, if it's a serum, they're
(11:32):
gonna probably have it. What I want you to do
first is follow two broke chicks. I had them on
Nothing to Wear Once it's not too long ago, and
they do the most incredible They have a podcast Instagram.
I mean I follow them on Instagram. They're big on
TikTok too, but I'm too old TikTok too. That's fun
to say. They do the hard work for us and
create this incredible comprehensive spreadsheet of all of the sales
(11:55):
and all of the Savings.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think I remember seeing this last year.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Phenomenal. It's absolutely phenomenal. So go there now because.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You know it's sponsored or do they just do it?
They just do it beg girls girls.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I mean they do others wants a concourse, but
and they do sometimes the content that they donate to
check anyway, they're amazing. So go check that out now.
Because also Black Friday, Cyber Monday used to be four days.
Now it's a whole body month. This is my problem
with me too, and then you get foumo and then
you don't know what to do, So go check them out. Now.
What I want you to do is think about Christmas,
So don't just think about yourself, because it's a good time.
If you're gonna buy stuff anyway, like.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Kids, toys, that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, oh totally, because it's not just beauty obviously, it's everything.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
But even yeah, sorry, I've actually if you really want
to know what I've got my aunt stuff for len
start for my face, but I actually really want to
meel vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
If I've been honest.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yes, wow, okay, boring.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Oh my god, I'm boring.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah you are. That's really boring anyway, No, you're not
vacuum cleaner. But also I'm gonna be over cas for
Black Fridays. Oh okay, that's way better. But also it's
a good time to save any practical things that you
don't want to spend money on.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, so, thus a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Think about your list for Christmas and you can start
ticking that off Philly cut now if you're doing online shopping,
because it'll gen really stay in your cart, the website
will say if it doesn't, no, or your wish list.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Make sure that.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
You're signed up so you can sign in and add
it to your wish list.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, sorry that because carts they're bloody trucks. Out of
them empty like asos empties after an hour. Some of
them empty so fast all and just like you don't
want to risk it. So if you really want some
good yes, sorry, you're right, do that wish list. Write
a list so that you don't check it get so overwhelmed.
I try not to even look at the adms because
then I'm like, oh, I haven't thought about background for
a while. I'll buy something and it's like no, So
(13:36):
I write a list. If you're looking to get some
makeup in a shade. No your shade in advance, so
check your shades or go on findation dot com or
go to a store now and check it out. And
also check your stash. So what if you got because
you might get overwhelmed and go, oh my god, I
want this, and then you realize you were eighty five
nice in the minds and you don't need it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So I would just do a lot of pre work.
I think that is the biggest your business part of
tea part of Tigan has really good advice, she said
to me once. She literally will plan every thing and
do all of her Christmas shopping over there. Yeah, but
she's you've got to be organized because otherwise you just
get so carried away and you buy things that you
don't want or need. However, last year I was, you know,
(14:17):
we spent a lot of time together and she was like,
I can't deal with this, and she just ignored her
all her dum like her whole emails for the whole time,
and amongst emails was her accommodation for her Christmas holiday
that said, if you don't pay the balance by now,
the room's gone. She lost the whole room to her
hotel because she was ignoring Black Friday emails anyhow.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But you don't.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I'm not saying ignore, but even she, come on, Sheef
was overwhelmed. Don't open them, don't worry about the head
They've always got clickie headlines.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yes, I agree. So you know, check what you need,
whether it's beauty or any vacuum, A vacuum. I'll stock
off on skin cuitical seat for a week. I will
stock up on probably bioderma, just the stuff I use
all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And you know you're going to repurchase anyway, correct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And I know that I run out of quite frequently.
I would also say things are pretty good to get usually, Yeah,
like a Dyson or a.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
If you get twenty that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Over the past, even five years ago, Black Friday, Cyber
Monday was huge and it was so exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I honestly think it's a bit of a joke. These days.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Everything's on sale all everything's on sale all the time,
Like companies are putting themselves out by just everything's on
Sale's ever going to I know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And I say, someone with a small business got to
pay to play sort of thing like we do a
small discount because otherwise our whole website for a month
is crickets. But then we make no money. Yeah, so
we're getting like the cost back of the product. So
it is it's I get it too.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
But it's like everyone's shooting themselves in the foot, agreed,
every other, not just one person because they can afford
to do it. So remember that Boxing day is around
the corner. Everything goes on sale again.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Then, so I think that's more for yourself, which I
guess this person is saying, but it's just such a
good time for gifting, for Christs, for gifting, but don't
get if you then go see someone, oh I got
this for twenty percent off, and you think, oh, rats
are missed out.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You'll get it for percent not very soon.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
What I love the ordinary does slow Vember, so instead
of the panic, they do a whole month of just
I think it's a percentage of discount. It's like you
don't have to panic, you don't have to quicken add
to cart. They don't do the cyber in a Black
Friday discount, then the Cyber Monday discout that's normally more
And you're like, wh I didn't I wait because you
don't know if you should wait, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, that annoys me.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
If someone if I buy something on Black Friday, don't
then discount it more on because all you're doing is
pissing me off.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, but they gonna make the money anyway. Write your list,
check it twice. Check your expiring dates of what you've
already got. I bet you don't need as much aause
you want, but have a hopping can I read the
second one firstly because the question was to me and
it was verbal in real life, and then I gave
her my answer in real life and she didn't like it,
so she's still get us to the podcast. But Amelia,
(16:50):
I love you. This question is from Amelia Lester, who
works here at Mama Mia amongst other places.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Who is a big you, beauty fair I.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Know, and also the smartest person I ever met.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I just I love it so much, so nice, she
conflimented me.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I cannot tell her how much it spruced me up,
because I was like, you know who I am, and
like my Podcastlight is the best, and she loves beauty.
She's been listening since day dot.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Oh I know, so listen. This is the question highly
She sent this to me on Slack when I said okay, fine,
asked the podcast highly, there's one product which I don't
believe there's a dupe for I've tried everything, it makes
me look better, and it's Dennis Gross Pads. Tell me
I'm wrong. I mean, she's such a writer, and.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What did you say in person when she's okay?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
So we had more in depth discussion and we talked
about her skin type and whate else is in her routine.
And I said, look, I actually don't think you. I mean,
they're great products, but I was like, I think it
maybe is a bit too much. And she's using them
every day. No, but I think that controversial this way.
She didn't like it. I said, I want you to
stop using those or any chemical exfolient, and I want
(17:57):
you to try like a microfolian. I just want you
to try when I say manual, not a granular scrub,
but like a rice wash, because she loves all the
Korea MBD rice wash products. I said, I just want
you to try very mild physical exfoliant, like one of those.
She's just like, no, I don't want to scratch, you think,
and I was like, no, it's like clay. I just
want you to see what you think. And she was like, no,
(18:19):
that's fine. She knows what she likes, well she does.
She's not wrong, it's fantastic. She's also open to trying
other things. So she wants a dupe, I guess because of.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The price, which is fair enough.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
So thirty treatments of the pil pads sachets, so sachets
because they come in little individual which also I understand
that some people want a different alternative because of the
waste involved with the individual sachets. Because it comes as
a two step system, so it's like two with separate compartments.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's really hard to explain, No, but you're right, because
it's so unique like that. It's one's like the chemical exfoliator,
and then the second one's the neutralizer that turns it off.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yes, exactly, so the combination of ah's and BHA, so
that it's the combo as well.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's quite strong, it is, but she doesn't need it,
so anyway, you don't need it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Then, so there isn't anything exactly like it on the
market with that two step and that's exactly why doctor
Dennis formulated to mimic the results obviously to a lot
less intensity of an insalon peel, which also uses a neutralizer.
Like they'll put the pul ingredients over you and then
use a neutralizer and they'll actually say, can you still
(19:28):
feel tingling? And then they'll wipe the neutralizer around your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The corner of your nose or need that.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, so that's why he created it, and we will link.
I think we talked about this on Friday, but we
will link that episode in the show notes when we're talking.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
About the body tanning one. Yeah, he is a genius.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
He is, but I totally get it. Not great for wastage,
and thirty treatments are one hundred and sixty dollars, which
is five dollars and thirty cents per.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Track on okay, I have not purchased product for probably
a doll I thought it was like seventy five.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Still no thirty treatments one hundred and sixty dollars, so
fair enough. She's looking for something more affordable in terms
of ingredients and price. So the best alternative options I
found were the neogen peel gauze, which doesn't have the
neutralized neutralizer, but it does have the exfoliating chemical exfoliating
(20:21):
pads in one big pot.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Ye, thirty five.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Dollars for thirty pads, So that's a dollar sixteen per treatment?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Is it ahabh?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So in terms of the formulation of the chemical ex folient,
it is the most similar in terms of quality of
ingredients and the way that it's formulated.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
According to Reddit.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And chach tech, need a BHA but keep going. I
some people like them, that's true, but I think she'd
be better off with the lectic keep going.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The second one is the Peter Thomas Roth peptide skinjection pads.
Similar but not as strong. Sites would be better. I
forgot about though, because it's got the chemical looks folling it,
but it's also got the peptides in it, so it's
still quite hydrating.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, and bit strengthening.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
That one is eighty five dollars for sixty pads. I'd
sow a dollar forty per treatment. So pricier than the
neogen which you get from k Beauty. Feel so much
better than so much cheaper.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, he's a doctor, though, so we can you recond
she's tried the good old Paula's choice.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I know it's not a pad, and I think the
reason that funny enough if you wait till Friday. I've
got a really great option for people that want the
chemical ex follow it but don't want because I think
I know why some people are hesitant to use a
product like Paula's choice the BH Yeah, and it's because
of laziess.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Oh that one's so easy.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yeah, but you've still got to like get and get
a I know, I know, know, Like I think that
one of the reasons why peel pads are so popular
already so is because they're pre soaked that you don't
have to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
It's so true.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I don't know. I'm just like, I think we're all
a lot lazier than we like.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Well, if you just click made us all for Friday,
can't wait change. I liked that you actually worked at
the mass I did.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Do you know I love math? Actually I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm terrible at it, but like I love just to
find things and understanding the actual cost of something. I
got the ingredients up and like put them next to
chat your between, got them to compare it. Then I
went down like a big subreddit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You're that meme of that woman that's got all the
literally trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Because there's so many products on the models.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Amelia, I know you when you like quality and you don't,
you're not an over consumer.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So if you really love the product, there isn't anything
exactly like wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I would only use them once a week, Maxim.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Do you know what some people do? They actually cut
because there's enough to.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Do your face, your declatage, and it's still actually in
an air tight thing. There you go, so that they
can get more than one use out of them. Kelly,
that was fascinating. Thank you, my gosh.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That was like an extra beauty bite before we've even
done the beauty bite.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
All right, beauty bite, do you want to know mine?
I had a few, but I've got a good one. Yes,
I've been playing scientist again. Oh hi, I like Ailana.
I'm talking pencil ala now. I love the Victoria Beckham
beauty but they're almost too juicy. Okay, and then I've
got some eyeliners that are almost like they're the budgeproof ones.
(23:16):
Guess what I did. I was playing with those ones.
You've got an eyeliner that's great pigment or great color,
but it's a bit too chalky or you can't blend
it when I say half a cheer seat amount. You
get a teeny tiny bit of face oil and you
can make it. You can put it on after if
you want, with a like a tiny anglod brush, or
(23:36):
you can almost make your own smudgy eyeliner with a
chalky liner or a like a budgeproof long wear eyeliner
and a tiny bit of face oil, and then you
can also it's easier to smudge out and you kind
of get that lived in grunge sexy sexy. Yeah I
was gonna say gruney, but I don't want that grunty,
but like sexy. Like it's almost making a Victoria Beckham
eyeliner with your old RIMML and a bit of hoover.
(23:59):
Can you try? It's so fun.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I wouldn't do it on my lower bit libs like area,
but I've done on my top flash line and it
just looks cool.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Didn't like then shmeer it everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Because when I say like, it's not even a drop
of oil, because the drop of oil is huge, it's
like like, yeah, okay, I let's see one go crazy.
I mean, you can like mix pigments with the oils.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, that sounds very messy on the eyelid.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Okay, well then don't syrup. It works. What's yours?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's just a bit of a PSA.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh you love your PSAs.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I do you love your science?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Maybe you should call it Kelly's PSA and products.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
If you have an eye infection, don't.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Use oil with your eyeliner while you've got an eye infection.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Just a reminder not to just use a muscarra and
then think she'll be right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Oh, it was fifty bucks. I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm not saying it was personal PSA.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, I'm just saying it when you say it was
fifty bucks the muscara. So imagine a person has an
eye infection and the person, the silly person, uses a
fifty dollar mscara, but then they have the infection while
they have the.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Eye infection, and they think, oh rats, you suppose to
throw them out. If you have an eye infection and
use it, NA, she'll be right because you don't want
to get because the person doesn't want to get rid
of the miscap.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
But also doesn't want get a second eye infection.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, if that was to happen, the person would then
end up getting pink ei twice in ten days and
their eyes would be stuck together when they wake up.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh yeah, jack, jack jack yack, what oh my god,
that happened to me, month Ietter an eyepatch of it
was so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm not saying it happened to me.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I know I'm talking about this purpose is hypothetical killing
is if you have an eye infection of any type,
throw away your intimate eye products, like the ones that
go right near your eye, because it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Get some clausic if it was to happen.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
But also don't use them again. Don't get your second
eye infection. What a silly person. No one would ever
do that, Kelly, Yeah, I know, like one would be
that silly.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But if it just so, no one would accidentally.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay, if you've been sick, do you throw out your toothbrush?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I mean you don't have to, but yuck. Say you've
had the flu, don't you throw out you toothbrush and
get new? I don't have the flu forever, so I
take my bull and his herbs. I wonder if Pink
eye girl would throw out a toothbrush on that note.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
She would because she wouldn't actually get she is finished.
Speaker 3 (26:22):
Thank you, for listening. Of course, if you've got a question,
d m us on Instagram at you Buddy podcast and
we'll answer them asap. Make sure you following this on YouTube.
Speaker 4 (26:31):
Woo Harman Bellow that was so obnoxious and annoying, And
on TikTok We're at you, Beauty pod.
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Bye bye
You're listening to I'm Mom and mea podcast. Makeup is
My Therapy, the Love.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I'm obsessed and I don't even feel guilty about it.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Hello, and welcome to Your Beauty the podcast In Your Face.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
Hi, Emilie Campbell, I'm Killer mccharen.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
Now, before we get into your beauty dilemmas, let's hear
from the gals in what's new with the Beauty Edit.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Welcome back to the Beauty Edit. I'm Cass MoMA me
is morning editor.
Speaker 5 (00:40):
And I'm Taylor Strato, host of Mama MIA's news podcast,
The Quickie Cast. Thank you for having me back again
this week. Let us not waste any more time. Tell
me and the ubis what's making beauty news?
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Well, Taylor, I think you'll be excited by this one.
The Queen of pop, Dua Leaper has launched an entry
level skin hairline with none other than the least entry
level brand ever, augustin as Beta. It's gonna be called
Dua by ab Science, and she's calling it collaboration with
the best of the best. Taylor, are you familiar with
Augustin Espata I am.
Speaker 5 (01:11):
And when you say entry level, Augustinas Beta is not
the brand that comes to mind for me, so I'm
very curious to know how this is going to play
out exactly.
Speaker 1 (01:20):
Look, it's super interesting.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
They're going to be only launching three products, so that's
a cleanser, a glow complex, and a renewal cream, and
they're going to retail between around forty dollars and eighty
five dollars aud. So it's a dramatically lowered price point
to what we're seeing from the core creams from this brand,
which usually are around two hundred dollars.
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Look, I'm all for letting people play in a luxury
beauty space without a luxury beauty price tag. But when
I think about beauty and skincare and collaborations with celebrities,
I don't know if Jua Lipa was the first name
that would have come to mind for me. Is she
like a big skincare girl? And I just don't know it.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Look, she's been a longtime fan of Augustin Aespata as
a brand, so it does make sense for her. But no,
she's never really dabbled in this space before. And it's
also a relatively new thing for Augustin and is Beta
as well. I mean, this is their first collab since
they did Victoria back in Beauty back in twenty nineteen.
They are very exclusive with who they choose to mesh
(02:17):
their brand with, and I do think it's interesting that
they've chosen someone typically out of the beauty space. So, Taylor,
do you know about what makes Augustin and Spda so
popular and why it's such a big deal to offer
it at this price range.
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Look, I have a feeling it has something to do
with very expensive labs and very expensive things that we
put on our face and pay the price and tell
ourselves that it's all going to work out for the best.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Look, you're hitting it on the head there.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
It is due to their labs and a particular patented
complex that they have called TFC eight. So this is
called a trigger factor complex and it's kind of the
cornerstone of the brand, so as you can probably tell
by the name TFC eight. And then what is in
dou A Leaper's line is TFC five.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
It's basically a slightly.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Reduced version, kind of a light version of what we
know from Augustina Spadas. So I'm kind of calling it
like a younger sister. It's designed as a more accessible
price point. I would say for more younger people who
don't need full on, you know, reduction of signs of aging,
but maybe just want to help prevent the onslaught of
(03:24):
aging that we find as we get sort of into
our twenties and thirties.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Okay, kes, I want to take you on a different
beauty journey with our next story. So, Kim Kardashian household name,
friend of the pod, has been making moves in her
beauty business world. So as we know, Kim Kardashian, the
Kardashian family in general have had many a business venture.
They've offered many a product, some of them more questionable
than others, which leads us to where we are now.
(03:48):
Skims is like that magic thing. She's stuck a whole
bunch of stuff at the wall, and this is the
brand that's stuck. We're obsessed with Skims, we know what,
we love it. And so as part of the next
expansion of that brand, Kim has done this incredible thing
where she's basically recouped the skin by Kim brand. Do
you remember she had that skin care line with all
of those weird geometric, architecturally designed bottles.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Yeah, I remember, And actually not to say we called it,
but on a few episodes ago when we were talking
about the end of Skin by Kim, we actually did
say that this kind of acquisition might be in the books. So, Taylor,
I'm excited to learn more now that we kind of
predicted it.
Speaker 5 (04:27):
Well, yeah, acquisition being the key word. They're essentially Kim
has brought back the rights to Skin by Kim. It
was owned by her, but also by Coti, who own
a whole bunch of beauty brands all across the US
and the world. So from twenty twenty six, we're expecting
this sort of expansion to Skim's Skin or Skim's Beauty.
I think is probably a more accurate depiction of what
(04:50):
we'll expect. And we know it's serious, right because she's
put some really big names and I'm assuming some big
money behind this too. So a veteran of the beauty
industry is jah Raji. She worked at places like Lareel
before starting her own beauty brand, Army Colaie, and she'll
be the executive vice president of Beauty and Fragrance. So
I don't know, Skims come for the bodysuits, maybe stay
(05:12):
for the skincare. In twenty twenty six.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
And speaking of celebrity beauty brands, there's another one facing
a bit of a media storm. So if you're a
pretty little lie fan like me, you'll definitely know actress
Shane Mitchell. She just launched a kid's skincare line called Rinny.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
It's for kids.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
It's a k beauty inspired skincare and play line. And
I think it was the ages that really stopped everyone
in their tracks, because it's ages three and up. Taylor,
What is everybody saying about this?
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Yeah, this is an interesting one and something that we've
actually also looked at over on the Quiki because this idea,
this debate of should parents let their kids use makeup
and skin care is not new. It's been raging for
ages now. But what if celebrity enters the chat, everybody
picks up their attention again. So I spoke to doctor
Michelle Wong, who folks might know as Love Muff and
(06:00):
Beauty Science, all about well, should we let our kids
use this stuff? What are they even putting on their faces?
She didn't seem to have an issue with this particular offering.
Shae Mitchell is putting out in the first launch a
bunch of face masks, they'll have very cute animal prints
and faces on them, and they contain things like Alvira
and Alan Towen, so nothing too active or regressive foreskin
(06:22):
and for little skin specifically, but culturally, I think when
people see young people interested in things like skincare and makeup,
there's this perception that they're trying to grow up too quickly,
or that they're being the target of mass marketing and consumerism,
and that in itself, I think is a different discussion.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
But I do think that a lot of people feel
uncomfortable about the kind of commodification of beauty to children,
especially because a lot of the beauty industry is about
like enhancing your features, and the idea of like fixing
an imperfection for a young, especially very young person, is
a little bit worrying in saying that, you know, I
was a dance girl, I was in full blown makeup
(07:02):
aged five. I was taking my makeup off with adult
cleanses and they probably we weren't good for little skin.
So and you know, even face painting if you're not
in the arts. But I think there's a case for it,
but definitely controversial, and I can see how people would
see it as a money grab.
Speaker 5 (07:17):
Yeah, totally, but again, like I would counter that, like
we live in Australia and you should always be putting
SBF on your face. But things like a lavera, which
is one of those main ingredients, are great for after
sun soothing, and I think if the experts don't have
too much of an issue with it, it's more just
a conversation that you should be having with your kids
at home.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
It's definitely one that's starting up, that's for sure. So
that's all your beauty edit for this week. Let's go
back into your dilemmas with Lee and Kelly.
Speaker 3 (07:44):
That was interesting, Kelly, what color can't you wear? You're
in a most beautiful future pink dress.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
With a green a lime green heel. Why don't just
throw my foot up so aggressive?
Speaker 3 (07:55):
I liked it. It's like you had that you know,
that the doctor knocker thing when owl that hurt? Oh?
Is there a color that doesn't see you?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yes? Yellow.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I don't look great in yellow, yellow or orange like
I'll still do, but it's not fab on.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Okay, you just suit color so much.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
Purple. I'm not great with cool tones.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You are some though, Do you know what I reckon
it's all like if you can own it and you
just are having fun?
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Who cares?
Speaker 3 (08:19):
I like yellow gray?
Speaker 1 (08:21):
No, I'm winter.
Speaker 3 (08:21):
I wear gray gray. It's not a color, it's a shave. Anyway,
should we get out awesome questions? And the first one
is quite timely, so we better hoh.
Speaker 4 (08:30):
Oh, my god, and thank godly actually prepped to the
first one because I read it and my notes are
pretty much it's a bloody joke.
Speaker 1 (08:37):
I literally wrote, it's a joke.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Okay, good do you want me to read it then?
Because you've want you to read the question? Okay, not
that it's a bloody joke you've already told us.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
Ladies, Please rescue me from the overwhelm of all of
these sales. I'm excited and confused, Black Friday, Cyber Monday,
all the other reasons may feed an inbox cannot keep up?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
What should I buy?
Speaker 4 (08:58):
I mean, I know I don't need to buy anything,
but any tips on how to take advantage of the sales?
Speaker 1 (09:03):
What are you two buying?
Speaker 3 (09:06):
It's a very overwhelming of year. I must admit. If
you don't check your promotions tab in your email for
like three minutes and then it's like, would you like
to delete ten thousand million emails. Maybe that's just me,
but yes, it's a great time to purchase if you
want to save some money, but it's a bad time
to easily waste money if you don't need to want
a little history lesson on Black Friday. No, oh, well,
I'm going to give you one. Oh. I found it
(09:28):
really interesting. So the term I simply don't. Okay, Well,
Kelly is not going to be here for this question.
I'm going to make her answer all of the second question.
The term black Friday was first used in the US
in the fifties or sixties by the police because after
Thanksgiving there was huge crowds in the city for holiday shopping.
So think back in the day, if you're old enough,
our Boxing day sales before online shopping was a thing.
(09:49):
People used to like line up at my own David
six in the morning, the roller shut at all would
go and people to like trample each other.
Speaker 4 (09:54):
And you'd see in movies it was represented or TV shows,
like in pop culture from the eighties nineties, people would
flood into shops and like literally trample over each other,
kick each other.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
Yeah, yes, so it was kind of like that. But
there's this after Thanksgiving, which of course is earlier in
the year than Christmas. We don't have Thanksgiving. But also
there was a big I don't know, I can't remember
which city it is, but there was a huge annual
football game. So it was just nuts. So the police
called it black Fridays in like black dark terrible because
it was a bad day to be on the roster
as a police person.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Then in the nineteen eighties, retailers reinterpreted it. So still
online shopping is not a thing, because everyone thinks it's online,
but it's not a thing. But they kind of made
it more positive and that shops in the black black
is good, like we're making money and shops in the
red losing money. So then everyone started doing sales so
they could be in the black, you know, not losing money.
Hence why it's called black Friday. And then obviously in
(10:47):
the two thousand one. Obviously in the two thousands it
kind of went global. It's a shopping tradition in America,
but we everywhere everywhere does it. Back then, of course,
it was still you know, online was starting out, but
it was big lines, crowds, that whole shebang. Now a
lot of people think that it's mostly online retailers, but
stores do it too. It started out of stores, physical stores,
and so that's when you can save a lot of money.
(11:10):
And we do it globally. Even though we don't have
a thanksgiving thank you for coming to my history lesson.
Now what are we gonna buy? I mean, I have
a lot of tips. I'm an impulsive shopper, so that's
not a good thing to say, so don't listen to
no no. But I'm good with beauty because also I think,
you know, unless it's a foundation, one size fits all,
whereas if it's a top or a dress and it's like,
oh my site, you know, if it's a serum, they're
(11:32):
gonna probably have it. What I want you to do
first is follow two broke chicks. I had them on
Nothing to Wear Once it's not too long ago, and
they do the most incredible They have a podcast Instagram.
I mean I follow them on Instagram. They're big on
TikTok too, but I'm too old TikTok too. That's fun
to say. They do the hard work for us and
create this incredible comprehensive spreadsheet of all of the sales
(11:55):
and all of the Savings.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
I think I remember seeing this last year.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Phenomenal. It's absolutely phenomenal. So go there now because.
Speaker 4 (12:02):
You know it's sponsored or do they just do it?
They just do it beg girls girls.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
Yeah, I mean they do others wants a concourse, but
and they do sometimes the content that they donate to
check anyway, they're amazing. So go check that out now.
Because also Black Friday, Cyber Monday used to be four days.
Now it's a whole body month. This is my problem
with me too, and then you get foumo and then
you don't know what to do, So go check them out. Now.
What I want you to do is think about Christmas,
So don't just think about yourself, because it's a good time.
If you're gonna buy stuff anyway, like.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
Kids, toys, that sort of thing.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
Yeah, oh totally, because it's not just beauty obviously, it's everything.
Speaker 4 (12:32):
But even yeah, sorry, I've actually if you really want
to know what I've got my aunt stuff for len
start for my face, but I actually really want to
meel vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 1 (12:40):
If I've been honest.
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Yes, wow, okay, boring.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
Oh my god, I'm boring.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Yeah you are. That's really boring anyway, No, you're not
vacuum cleaner. But also I'm gonna be over cas for
Black Fridays. Oh okay, that's way better. But also it's
a good time to save any practical things that you
don't want to spend money on.
Speaker 1 (12:57):
Yeah, so, thus a vacuum cleaner.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Think about your list for Christmas and you can start
ticking that off Philly cut now if you're doing online shopping,
because it'll gen really stay in your cart, the website
will say if it doesn't, no, or your wish list.
Speaker 1 (13:10):

it to your wish list.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Yes, sorry that because carts they're bloody trucks. Out of
them empty like asos empties after an hour. Some of
them empty so fast all and just like you don't
want to risk it. So if you really want some
good yes, sorry, you're right, do that wish list. Write
a list so that you don't check it get so overwhelmed.
I try not to even look at the adms because
then I'm like, oh, I haven't thought about background for
a while. I'll buy something and it's like no, So
(13:36):
I write a list. If you're looking to get some
makeup in a shade. No your shade in advance, so
check your shades or go on findation dot com or
go to a store now and check it out. And
also check your stash. So what if you got because
you might get overwhelmed and go, oh my god, I
want this, and then you realize you were eighty five
nice in the minds and you don't need it.
Speaker 4 (13:54):
So I would just do a lot of pre work.
I think that is the biggest your business part of
tea part of Tigan has really good advice, she said
to me once. She literally will plan every thing and
do all of her Christmas shopping over there. Yeah, but
she's you've got to be organized because otherwise you just
get so carried away and you buy things that you
don't want or need. However, last year I was, you know,
(14:17):
we spent a lot of time together and she was like,
I can't deal with this, and she just ignored her
all her dum like her whole emails for the whole time,
and amongst emails was her accommodation for her Christmas holiday
that said, if you don't pay the balance by now,
the room's gone. She lost the whole room to her
hotel because she was ignoring Black Friday emails anyhow.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
But you don't.
Speaker 4 (14:35):
I'm not saying ignore, but even she, come on, Sheef
was overwhelmed. Don't open them, don't worry about the head
They've always got clickie headlines.
Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yes, I agree. So you know, check what you need,
whether it's beauty or any vacuum, A vacuum. I'll stock
off on skin cuitical seat for a week. I will
stock up on probably bioderma, just the stuff I use
all the time.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
And you know you're going to repurchase anyway, correct.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
And I know that I run out of quite frequently.
I would also say things are pretty good to get usually, Yeah,
like a Dyson or a.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
If you get twenty that makes a huge difference.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 4 (15:09):
Over the past, even five years ago, Black Friday, Cyber
Monday was huge and it was so exciting.
Speaker 1 (15:16):
I honestly think it's a bit of a joke. These days.
Speaker 4 (15:19):
Everything's on sale all everything's on sale all the time,
Like companies are putting themselves out by just everything's on
Sale's ever going to I know.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
And I say, someone with a small business got to
pay to play sort of thing like we do a
small discount because otherwise our whole website for a month
is crickets. But then we make no money. Yeah, so
we're getting like the cost back of the product. So
it is it's I get it too.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
But it's like everyone's shooting themselves in the foot, agreed,
every other, not just one person because they can afford
to do it. So remember that Boxing day is around
the corner. Everything goes on sale again.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Then, so I think that's more for yourself, which I
guess this person is saying, but it's just such a
good time for gifting, for Christs, for gifting, but don't
get if you then go see someone, oh I got
this for twenty percent off, and you think, oh, rats
are missed out.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
You'll get it for percent not very soon.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
What I love the ordinary does slow Vember, so instead
of the panic, they do a whole month of just
I think it's a percentage of discount. It's like you
don't have to panic, you don't have to quicken add
to cart. They don't do the cyber in a Black
Friday discount, then the Cyber Monday discout that's normally more
And you're like, wh I didn't I wait because you
don't know if you should wait, So that's good.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
Yeah, that annoys me.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
If someone if I buy something on Black Friday, don't
then discount it more on because all you're doing is
pissing me off.
Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, but they gonna make the money anyway. Write your list,
check it twice. Check your expiring dates of what you've
already got. I bet you don't need as much aause
you want, but have a hopping can I read the
second one firstly because the question was to me and
it was verbal in real life, and then I gave
her my answer in real life and she didn't like it,
so she's still get us to the podcast. But Amelia,
(16:50):
I love you. This question is from Amelia Lester, who
works here at Mama Mia amongst other places.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Who is a big you, beauty fair I.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Know, and also the smartest person I ever met.
Speaker 1 (16:59):
I just I love it so much, so nice, she
conflimented me.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
I cannot tell her how much it spruced me up,
because I was like, you know who I am, and
like my Podcastlight is the best, and she loves beauty.
She's been listening since day dot.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Oh I know, so listen. This is the question highly
She sent this to me on Slack when I said okay, fine,
asked the podcast highly, there's one product which I don't
believe there's a dupe for I've tried everything, it makes
me look better, and it's Dennis Gross Pads. Tell me
I'm wrong. I mean, she's such a writer, and.
Speaker 1 (17:31):
What did you say in person when she's okay?
Speaker 3 (17:35):
So we had more in depth discussion and we talked
about her skin type and whate else is in her routine.
And I said, look, I actually don't think you. I mean,
they're great products, but I was like, I think it
maybe is a bit too much. And she's using them
every day. No, but I think that controversial this way.
She didn't like it. I said, I want you to
stop using those or any chemical exfolient, and I want
(17:57):
you to try like a microfolian. I just want you
to try when I say manual, not a granular scrub,
but like a rice wash, because she loves all the
Korea MBD rice wash products. I said, I just want
you to try very mild physical exfoliant, like one of those.
She's just like, no, I don't want to scratch, you think,
and I was like, no, it's like clay. I just
want you to see what you think. And she was like, no,
(18:19):
that's fine. She knows what she likes, well she does.
She's not wrong, it's fantastic. She's also open to trying
other things. So she wants a dupe, I guess because of.
Speaker 1 (18:27):
The price, which is fair enough.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
So thirty treatments of the pil pads sachets, so sachets
because they come in little individual which also I understand
that some people want a different alternative because of the
waste involved with the individual sachets. Because it comes as
a two step system, so it's like two with separate compartments.
Speaker 3 (18:48):
It's really hard to explain, No, but you're right, because
it's so unique like that. It's one's like the chemical exfoliator,
and then the second one's the neutralizer that turns it off.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Yes, exactly, so the combination of ah's and BHA, so
that it's the combo as well.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
It's quite strong, it is, but she doesn't need it,
so anyway, you don't need it.
Speaker 4 (19:07):
Then, so there isn't anything exactly like it on the
market with that two step and that's exactly why doctor
Dennis formulated to mimic the results obviously to a lot
less intensity of an insalon peel, which also uses a neutralizer.
Like they'll put the pul ingredients over you and then
use a neutralizer and they'll actually say, can you still
(19:28):
feel tingling? And then they'll wipe the neutralizer around your nose.
Speaker 3 (19:31):
The corner of your nose or need that.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yeah, so that's why he created it, and we will link.
I think we talked about this on Friday, but we
will link that episode in the show notes when we're talking.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
About the body tanning one. Yeah, he is a genius.
Speaker 4 (19:43):
He is, but I totally get it. Not great for wastage,
and thirty treatments are one hundred and sixty dollars, which
is five dollars and thirty cents per.
Speaker 3 (19:52):
Track on okay, I have not purchased product for probably
a doll I thought it was like seventy five.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
Still no thirty treatments one hundred and sixty dollars, so
fair enough. She's looking for something more affordable in terms
of ingredients and price. So the best alternative options I
found were the neogen peel gauze, which doesn't have the
neutralized neutralizer, but it does have the exfoliating chemical exfoliating
(20:21):
pads in one big pot.
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Ye, thirty five.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Dollars for thirty pads, So that's a dollar sixteen per treatment?
Speaker 3 (20:28):
Is it ahabh?
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Yes?
Speaker 4 (20:29):
So in terms of the formulation of the chemical ex folient,
it is the most similar in terms of quality of
ingredients and the way that it's formulated.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
According to Reddit.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
And chach tech, need a BHA but keep going. I
some people like them, that's true, but I think she'd
be better off with the lectic keep going.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
The second one is the Peter Thomas Roth peptide skinjection pads.
Similar but not as strong. Sites would be better. I
forgot about though, because it's got the chemical looks folling it,
but it's also got the peptides in it, so it's
still quite hydrating.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, and bit strengthening.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
That one is eighty five dollars for sixty pads. I'd
sow a dollar forty per treatment. So pricier than the
neogen which you get from k Beauty. Feel so much
better than so much cheaper.
Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yeah, he's a doctor, though, so we can you recond
she's tried the good old Paula's choice.
Speaker 4 (21:19):
I know it's not a pad, and I think the
reason that funny enough if you wait till Friday. I've
got a really great option for people that want the
chemical ex follow it but don't want because I think
I know why some people are hesitant to use a
product like Paula's choice the BH Yeah, and it's because
of laziess.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Oh that one's so easy.
Speaker 6 (21:38):
Yeah, but you've still got to like get and get
a I know, I know, know, Like I think that
one of the reasons why peel pads are so popular
already so is because they're pre soaked that you don't
have to do it.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
It's so true.
Speaker 1 (21:50):
I don't know. I'm just like, I think we're all
a lot lazier than we like.
Speaker 3 (21:53):
Well, if you just click made us all for Friday,
can't wait change. I liked that you actually worked at
the mass I did.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Do you know I love math? Actually I don't.
Speaker 4 (22:02):
I'm terrible at it, but like I love just to
find things and understanding the actual cost of something. I
got the ingredients up and like put them next to
chat your between, got them to compare it. Then I
went down like a big subreddit.
Speaker 3 (22:14):
You're that meme of that woman that's got all the
literally trying to figure it out.
Speaker 1 (22:18):
Because there's so many products on the models.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
Amelia, I know you when you like quality and you don't,
you're not an over consumer.
Speaker 1 (22:26):
So if you really love the product, there isn't anything
exactly like wrong.
Speaker 3 (22:29):
I would only use them once a week, Maxim.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
Do you know what some people do? They actually cut
because there's enough to.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Do your face, your declatage, and it's still actually in
an air tight thing. There you go, so that they
can get more than one use out of them. Kelly,
that was fascinating. Thank you, my gosh.
Speaker 4 (22:44):
That was like an extra beauty bite before we've even
done the beauty bite.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
All right, beauty bite, do you want to know mine?
I had a few, but I've got a good one. Yes,
I've been playing scientist again. Oh hi, I like Ailana.
I'm talking pencil ala now. I love the Victoria Beckham
beauty but they're almost too juicy. Okay, and then I've
got some eyeliners that are almost like they're the budgeproof ones.
(23:16):
Guess what I did. I was playing with those ones.
You've got an eyeliner that's great pigment or great color,
but it's a bit too chalky or you can't blend
it when I say half a cheer seat amount. You
get a teeny tiny bit of face oil and you
can make it. You can put it on after if
you want, with a like a tiny anglod brush, or
(23:36):
you can almost make your own smudgy eyeliner with a
chalky liner or a like a budgeproof long wear eyeliner
and a tiny bit of face oil, and then you
can also it's easier to smudge out and you kind
of get that lived in grunge sexy sexy. Yeah I
was gonna say gruney, but I don't want that grunty,
but like sexy. Like it's almost making a Victoria Beckham
eyeliner with your old RIMML and a bit of hoover.
(23:59):
Can you try? It's so fun.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I wouldn't do it on my lower bit libs like area,
but I've done on my top flash line and it
just looks cool.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
Didn't like then shmeer it everywhere.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
Because when I say like, it's not even a drop
of oil, because the drop of oil is huge, it's
like like, yeah, okay, I let's see one go crazy.
I mean, you can like mix pigments with the oils.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
No, that sounds very messy on the eyelid.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
Okay, well then don't syrup. It works. What's yours?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
It's just a bit of a PSA.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Oh you love your PSAs.
Speaker 1 (24:28):
I do you love your science?
Speaker 3 (24:29):
Maybe you should call it Kelly's PSA and products.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
If you have an eye infection, don't.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Use oil with your eyeliner while you've got an eye infection.
Speaker 4 (24:39):
Just a reminder not to just use a muscarra and
then think she'll be right.
Speaker 3 (24:45):
Oh, it was fifty bucks. I don't.
Speaker 1 (24:48):
I'm not saying it was personal PSA.
Speaker 3 (24:51):
Okay, I'm just saying it when you say it was
fifty bucks the muscara. So imagine a person has an
eye infection and the person, the silly person, uses a
fifty dollar mscara, but then they have the infection while
they have the.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
Eye infection, and they think, oh rats, you suppose to
throw them out. If you have an eye infection and
use it, NA, she'll be right because you don't want
to get because the person doesn't want to get rid
of the miscap.
Speaker 3 (25:14):
But also doesn't want get a second eye infection.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, if that was to happen, the person would then
end up getting pink ei twice in ten days and
their eyes would be stuck together when they wake up.
Speaker 3 (25:27):
Oh yeah, jack, jack jack yack, what oh my god,
that happened to me, month Ietter an eyepatch of it
was so bad.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I'm not saying it happened to me.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
I know I'm talking about this purpose is hypothetical killing
is if you have an eye infection of any type,
throw away your intimate eye products, like the ones that
go right near your eye, because it's not worth it.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Get some clausic if it was to happen.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
But also don't use them again. Don't get your second
eye infection. What a silly person. No one would ever
do that, Kelly, Yeah, I know, like one would be
that silly.
Speaker 1 (25:57):
But if it just so, no one would accidentally.
Speaker 3 (26:00):
Okay, if you've been sick, do you throw out your toothbrush?
Speaker 1 (26:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I mean you don't have to, but yuck. Say you've
had the flu, don't you throw out you toothbrush and
get new? I don't have the flu forever, so I
take my bull and his herbs. I wonder if Pink
eye girl would throw out a toothbrush on that note.
Speaker 1 (26:17):
She would because she wouldn't actually get she is finished.
Speaker 3 (26:22):

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
