  • Kirbie drives me nuts

    I love Sara so much, but Kirbie comes across so celebrity-obsessed. Such a bootlicker and so high and mighty. Really making me question whether or not I listen to this podcast anymore

    Updating to add that Kirbie is a total mean girl in Instagram comments. Unfollowing for the trash behavior

  • Downhill?

    I’ve listened weekly for YEARS, typically skipping the interview eps. But the Tuesday pods seem to be getting shorter and more sponsored. I didn’t catch a disclosure (may have missed it) but a recent episode HAD to be an ad for Rhode…it was 15 minutes of talking up their new launches. I get wary anytime this starts happening because the unbiased journalism stops showing up and the pod loses my trust.

  • There’s no such thing as a “beauty journalist”………

    Calling yourself a journalist when you gossip about the least important things on earth, like lip gloss and makeup, is straight up embarrassing…….

  • Yyyeeeessss

    Sara and Kirbie- please never stop doing the damn thing. I 1000% agree that beauty and current events / politics are related. Also, it's YOUR SHOW BE WHO YOU ARE! You two helped me make it through the pandemic- you have been advocates for women and evidence based skin care and beauty information from day dot. I trust you and your content! Most of all, your conversations and work-wife hood uplift and inspire me. XO A stan for life, -Jennifer

Q: What's your current mix of top five tools or products in your professional kit?

How a Skin Cancer Diagnosis Inspired the Founders of Luna Bronze
Q: What does the formulation focus look like for Luna Bronze, and which ingredients matter most for both hydration and tan payoff?

They stress that high-quality DHA and moisturization drive the overall payoff and user experience.
