Breaking Beauty Podcast

Today we’re chatting with Iván Pol - AKA The Beauty Sandwich - to find out why A-Listers like like Lizzo, Salma Hayek and Miranda Kerr are lining up for the signature facial treatment said to sharpen cheekbones, lift jowls and carve out contours – with zero needles or downtime. We find out the secrets behind all the fire, including his proprietary skincare innovation, a sold-out “Sau7e” that’s creating so much buzz, a popular HBO show is using it across its entire cast in place of makeup. Plus, we get the goods on his 4-day, “Wedding Cake Facial,” along with the next big development he has baking in the oven, and his top products, gizmos and tricks to snatch your own face to the gods.   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

Today we’re welcoming Diarrha N’Diaye, founder of the hotly anticipated Ami Colé, a new, eco-friendly beauty range born in Harlem, inspired by Senegal. Hailed as “No Makeup Makeup for Melanin-Rich Skin” by Women’s Wear Daily, Ami Colé is about celebrating – rather than covering up – dark skin tones. Launched just last week, the indie start-up has attracted investors like Hannah Bronfman and Versed Skincare’s Katherine Power, while Katie Jane Hughes and Emily Weiss are already singing its praises on Instagram.   Tune in as Diarrha N’Diaye recalls rising through the ranks at L’Oréal Paris and Glossier before cultivating her own beauty line, crowd-sourced from a BIPOC community of 400 over three years. Plus, we chat about self-acceptance, representation in the beauty industry, the challenges of launching during a global pandemic and the gap that still exists to get brands like Ami Colé to market. Finally, find out how Diarrha plans to take Ami Colé beyond beauty, creating a community where women of colour are free to exhale.   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

In her very first beauty podcast, Victoria Beckham is here alongside Sarah Creal, co-founder of Victoria Beckham Beauty.

Then, we get seriously UPLIFTED with insider tales involving a run-in with Beyonce, developing makeup shades with Harper, how the duo have been coping during quarantine – and we find out what else is on the ladies’ top shelf (including a surprising drugstore fave!)    Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!

Welcome to Earth Month! Today we’re finding out why “Cruelty-Free” cosmetics is the topic on everyone’s lips – and what it means, really. Helping us navigate, Carlene and Jill are joined by expert blogger Suzana Rose – aka Cruelty-Free Kitty – whose watchdog blog has earned upwards of 600K page views per month, and has been featured in Byrdie, Refinery29, and BBC. Plus, Dr. Carol Treasure hits us with some scientific realness. She’s the founder and CEO of the UK-based XCellR8, an ethical testing lab devoted to 100% animal-free testing for leading cosmetic companies and ingredient suppliers.  Listen in as we cover the fundamentals of what constitutes cruelty-free beauty, and the big head-scratcher: why some beauty companies might still be animal-testing today. Plus, we unpack the latest headlines you may have seen around China's Animal Testing Laws coming into effect May 1st, 2021. Stay tuned until the end to find out which logos you can really trust when you’re shopping (like, does a Bunny on a label suffice?) along with a few of our guests’ personal cruelty-free faves.   For any products or topics mentioned in this episode, check out our blog: www.breakingbeautypodcast.com/blog   Get social with us and let us know what you think of the episode!
