What’s #DamnGood for Summer? K-Beauty SPF Essence, Kylie’s Debut Mascara, Frozen Skincare + More In This Speed Round Edition

By | October 31, 2024

Carlene has been relaxing on the dock, while Jill has been galavanting from press event to patio hangs, testing the season’s sunscreens, skin saviors and longwear makeup along the way! In this speedy product review episode, you’ll learn about the essence-meets-sunscreen formula Jill is obsessed with now, along with the glowy mineral SPF that’s currently topping Carlene’s top shelf. Plus, stay tuned until the end to find out which viral sensation lip oil left your two favorite beauty critics divided.

 

You’ll hear about: 

 

How deodorant-style sunscreen “sticks” are proving themselves to be life-savers – and why some people are still using them all wrong

High vs Low: Jill and Carlene face off in a skincare serum price point showdown (and maybe a little role reversal?)

The limited edition Chanel accessory (you’re definitely going to want to catch ‘em before they’re gone!) 

Finally, creamy eyeshadow sticks that seriously don’t budge or crease in the summer heat

Lessons in Fitzpatrick “phototypes” – what the dermatologist-created skin classification system means, and which brands are finally catering to all skin tone needs – for real

After Bedtime with Big Little Feelings
Real talk? Modern parenting is a doozy. There’s never been more pressure to be perfect with social media readily at our fingertips - mixed with total isolation and no help. Where the f*ck is that village everyone talks about? Consider After Bedtime your village. Led by Kristin and Deena - founders of the largest online parenting community, Big Little Feelings - After Bedtime is the place you can go at the end of a long hard day to find your “enough”-ness. We’ll laugh, we’ll cry, we’ll maybe pee our pants a little as we unpack things we’re ALL experiencing but too ashamed to talk about: imperfect marriages, miscarriages, managing toddler mania, apologizing to our kids and everything in between. You’ll leave with actionable, realistic tips to make this whole parenting thing smoother - small changes, big impact. In an age where parents need more *real* connection than ever, let’s talk honestly about the hard - and remind ourselves we are not alone, we are not failing. In fact, we’re f*cking crushing it.

Live From Bed
Live From Bed is your official invitation to hide from the world with me — your permission slip to unravel out loud. Every Wednesday, I pull the covers over my head and drag my favorite people in with me — from internet sensations to experts — to celebrate our bad habits, worst traits, and the internal monologues that probably make both our therapists and the group chat nervous. We talk about the friendships that downgraded from ride-or-die to ‘hope you're well’, the plans we’re praying get canceled, the milestones we’re nowhere near — and the texts we wish we hadn’t sent. If your best friend’s ignoring your FaceTime… and you’ve already messed up one too many social interactions this week, this is your place. No unsolicited advice. No annoying success stories. Just the things we all think but wish someone else would say first — and a whole lot of commiserating.

Tune in every Monday for the real secret behind what it really takes to Come Together.
