Perhaps you’ve heard of a little thing called “Dry January?” The buzzy trend that’s become a yearly tradition to many, pausing drinking for the time being, a month, at that. As social drinkers ourselves, we tapped a few experts to talk all things non-alcoholic beverages, sober curiosity, dry challenges and beyond. Meet Dawn Maire and Jamie Coulter of Starla Wines—the first and only ultra-premium alcohol removed wine created for wine lovers wishing to nix the spirits but savor the experience. With journalist Hilary Sheinbaum in the mix to shed light on how Dry January started as a bet and turned into an eyeopening life change, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.   Go to https://starlawines.com and use code LIPSTICK20 at checkout for 20% off your first purchase.  Learn more about your ad choices.

Just like the old adage goes, “new year, new us.” The only problem is, who can actually stick to that promise? A new you in the new year is a tall ask. Actually, unrealistic, if not completely unnecessary. Sure, we could all use some self-improvement, but, hey, isn’t life meant to be a work in progress? Who do we think we are trying to re-invent ourselves year after year? Madonna? So, let’s back up for a moment. We have a new proposal for you: "new year, same us (just a little bit better)." Isn’t that what we’re all striving for anyway? This episode is just us, taking you into the new year with a fresh start and a bright outlook. Nothing drastic, just a few, small, attainable steps forward. Oh, and by the way, thanks for being on this ride with us. We can’t wait to include you in all that 2023 brings.   Go to arrae.com and use code 'lipstick' at checkout to get 15% off your first purchase and a free Sleep Mini.   Ritual is offering my listeners 10% off during your first 3 months.

It was a year for the books—sartorially (beauty) speaking and beyond. We found ourselves glowing and growing. We tried everything and then some. You know it’s a good product when you find yourself not only reaching for it on a daily basis, but using every last drop, and hitting re-order in advance of running out. This was a hard list to put together and is more edited than ever before. It’s just the absolute best. No fluff. Meet your ultimate end-of-year curation. These are the one’s that made the cut. From primers that are so good they act as makeup, to cleansers that do double duty, and lipglosses so iridescent they make you shine, this is the creme de la creme of beauty products from the past year. No doubt will they be going into 2023 with us. Maybe even 2024 too.     Macy’s has got all the New Year’s Eve looks to start your year off right (and bright) at macys.com/ownyourstyle.     Bring your hair into the future with K18 molecular repair and shop K18's leave-in molecular repair hair mask, available now at Sephora and sephora.com.

It’s a true art form. Plastic surgery, that is. You could even say a plastic surgeon holds a similar role to that of a magician. In fact, today’s guest has experience in both. It’s simple: you go in one way and come out another—and that’s exactly what attracted Dr. Steven Levine to the aesthetic plastic surgery field to begin with. There’s no grey area. As one of New York City's (and the world’s) finest, he’s perfected his craft to a T and has a keen eye for what makes both women and men look like their most natural (but better) selves. We get into when it’s the right time to go under the knife (you might be surprised by this answer), what to avoid at all costs, and the type of plastic surgeon to steer clear of.

An OG influencer, you might know her from The Chriselle Factor. Or maybe you know her from being the #1 fashion expert on YouTube. Or maybe, just maybe, you know her as the founder of one of the chicest fragrance brands, Phlur. Missing person, anyone? Point is, Chriselle Lim is a badass (and mom of two) and we greatly admire her for that. Having recently gone through a divorce, she’s found herself embracing strength in vulnerability and turning to community more than ever before. And, she’s not afraid to tell you, she’s officially entered her ‘bitch era.’ From power dressing to powerful fragrances that evoke even more powerful memories, she’s re-defining what it means to be working mother today.     Start a new healthy habit today.

She is THE celebrity wellness doctor. And, yes, she was behind the magic that was Adele’s jaw-dropping body transformation. A leader in prevention medicine and aging backwards, Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read’s approach combines her French roots with her current stake on American soil. In fact, she breaks down the main differences between European and American methodologies. Maybe you’ve wondered what ‘HCG’ is or what ‘insulin-resistance’ really means. From lifestyle interventions, such as protein-heavy eating (diet is a not a word in her vocabulary) to what peptides are, the one’s we should be taking and why, to hormone management, this is an episode you won’t want to miss—especially if you want to stay young forever.    Bring your hair into the future with K18 molecular repair and shop K18's leave-in molecular repair hair mask, available now at Sephora and sephora.com.    Shop the sale at Cleobella.com/Lipstick.

A 'multi-hyphenate' is a word that gets thrown around a lot—but Katie Sturino defines the very meaning. An entrepreneur, author, body acceptance advocate, and so much more, she’s a true trail blazer in this crazy world we live in. Her forward-thinking disposition has set her apart, so has the fact that she’s completely herself—it’s infectious and proves the power of authenticity and conviction within oneself to make a difference. We had such an interesting conversation about topics our society has ridden taboo from body positivity and accepting women of all sizes (and accepting ourselves) to chafing thighs and boob sweat. In creating the mega brand, Megababe, Katie is gracefully breaking down barriers one stigma at a time.  Head to printfresh.com/lipstick or use code LIPSTICK for 15% off your first order. Start a new healthy habit today.

Bobbi Brown. A name synonymous with innovation and entrepreneur. She’s the true queen of “no makeup makeup.” Starting as a makeup artist in the early ‘90s, her approach was unlike anyone before her—embracing natural beauty, practically putting that term on the map. Not only did she make it fashionable to look like your best self, leaning into the idea of “less is more,” but she made it marketable to an industry that was championing bold looks and bright colors, shifting the decade into a more minimal period. We talk all things natural beauty hacks and tricks (after all, this is her expertise), how she came up with the name Jones Road Beauty (and what compelled her to start another line). We even got the down-low on her must-have nail polish she’s worn for decades. With an ease and confidence to quickly puts into focus how she’s been able to achieve all that she has over all these years, we could have picked her brain all day.  Mark your calendar for the 96th Annual Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade! The parade will be live from NYC, on NBC and streaming on Peacock, Thursday, November 24th, 9am-noon in all time zones. For all of the fun details check out macys.com/parade.

Being an icon since the ‘90s is a long time to be iconic—and it’s no secret, that most people, no matter how high they've peaked, have difficulty standing the test of time.
