Magical Makeup Chat!
The magic of makeup chat!
I’m a newbie to podcasts but this has me hooked. Listening to the Breaking Beauty Podcast gives me the same joy that chatting to my mom, sister, auntie, besties about beauty products does. Not everyone has the opportunity to discuss beauty with others who share the same love and interest -so this podcast creates that space/community! And that’s a beautiful thing :)
