We’re kicking things off this week asking ourselves the eternal question: why do we willingly go get waxed?! The conversation is inspired by Marcello Hernandez’s painfully accurate bit about just how brutal beauty salons can be. On that note, we’re sharing a major listener-exclusive deal with SEV Laser — a free underarm laser hair removal treatment for first-time customers (!!).
Then we dive into What’s On Your Face?, including Saie’s new CitySet setting spray and Kirbie’s current lip-and-cheek MVPs. From there, we time-travel back to 2016 beauty trends — think blinding highlight, matte liquid lips, bold brows, mermaid makeup, and the YouTube era that made beauty feel playful, expressive, and empowering — and unpack why we’re all so nostalgic for that moment.
Finally, we break down the latest headline around Kendall Jenner denying plastic surgery, what Accutane can (and can’t) do to your nose, and why face-analysis culture online is getting increasingly out of hand.
