Episode notes

We are officially kicking off spring with a #DamnGood episode featuring our reviews of the products making headlines right now.

Listen in as we fill you in on the next-in-texture innovations, from “milk de parfum" pour-on scents to the pan-free pigments emerging from “Leaked” Labs and lip products galore!

You’ll hear about:

A first look at “Leaked Labs” by past guests The Lipstick Lesbians, including a review of their out-of-the-box, pan-free Flexible Powder, the debut product from their new brand that aims to bring lab-fresh formulas to the public for the first time.
A deep dive into spring’s lip stain liner trend, as we compare Kulfi’s crayon stain to the marker versions we’ve seen from drugstore brands.
New additions to the “quiet gourmand” fragrance trend, featuring Summer Fridays and the novel, skin-first “Mylk de Parfum” from Noyz.
Esthetician Sofie Pavitt’s "acne-safe” SPF 30 — and how the label claim is changing the game for the breakout weary.
The spring lip edit: We try out the blurring effect of Merit’s Signature Lip Blush, celebrity makeup artist Hung Vanngo’s new lip hues and the return of Bite Beauty royalty with Susanne Langmuir’s lanolin-rich, poppy lip masks from LIXR.
Psst: Join Carlene on her Instagram live on March 24 at 12pm EST for more info on how-to use her signature product from Cassatt.
