  • Interrupting

    I’ve tried listening to a couple episodes and I just cannot with the interrupting of the guests! The interruptions are personal, lead the guest way away from the topic, and don’t add to the conversation.

  • Unfollowing Finally!!

    Really disappointed with this podcast. Elitist takes with no accountability.

    My bar is not that high for a beauty podcast, but when I don’t have respect for the hosts, let alone their commentary, why would I waste my time listening? Jenn and Jess truly talk in the tone of teenagers, and I mean that in the worst way, while trying (and failing) to use elevated language to seemingly make themselves sound smart. Plus, there have been several times where they’ve been blatantly wrong (especially tak... more

  • Best Beauty Podcast!!!

    Absolutely LOVE this podcast. Jess and Jen have an unmatched rapport; they are so funny and knowledgeable. I am a licensed esthetician and I have learned so much from all the incredible guests they have interviewed. If you want to laugh, learn and get a much needed break from life, these are your gals!! Also love their new hosts Julee and Garrett. They bring some fresh energy and ideas to the pod. Now stop reading this long winded review and start listening to Fat Mascara!

  • Day 1 listener! Best beauty podcast out there

    I’ve been a beauty junkie for years and I stumbled upon this podcast right when it first started, and have been listening ever since. It’s the best beauty podcast out there! I love all the topics and the research is always on point. It goes so much more beyond than just makeup and skincare. I find a lot of hosts can be cringy, and Jess and Jenn are far from that! Love the addition of Julie and Garrett too!
