Tory Burch is here to take the pressure off your holiday season. She told us “Perfection is not interesting"—so we’re going into the gift-giving, dinner-hosting, party-attending season with that mantra in mind. We also talked to the entrepreneur and fashion designer about dressing and decorating for the holidays; her fragrance collection, Tory Burch Essence of Dreams, and the memories that inspired it; the perfumes and colognes she grew up with; and her favorite beauty products (including the discontinued ones!).Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogProducts mentioned on Ep. 460: shopmy.us/collections/98314Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.

Now that it is officially Festive Season, Jenn is gifting Jess with the embarrassing story of how she once had to model a “Silver Belle” look for holiday store visuals at Sephora. After that, we discuss two ways to use eyebrow pencil as lip liner; the newest version of L’Oréal Paris Wonder Water; a study showing how snowy landscapes can boost body positivity; and a new book that details the human fascination with butts and butt-accentuating fashion.

We’re in a festive mood, Tom Ford is feeling f*cking fabulous, and Jess is taking us through a new beauty trend report that’s (unintentionally) laced with gallows humor. Anti-aging is out! The “me mentality” is in! We’ve all got “hyper fatigue,” and the Kardashians are alienating fans with their talk of dieting. There's also been an uptick in contact dermatitis recently, and experts say natural skincare may be causing some of those skin rashes. Plus, we raise our wands to small-business beauty buys, an iconic makeup applicator, and a Seville orange perfume oil that turned heads at Jess’s daycare drop-off.Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogProducts mentioned on Ep. 455: shopmy.us/collections/91763Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.

Writer, actress, and (super)model Paulina Porizkova—whose memoir, No Filter, came out this week—has a lot to say about our society’s fixation on youth and its fear of nudity. We talk about that, plus so much more: beauty culture under communist rule, navigating dating apps as a (very tall) 57-year-old woman, how the #metoo movement affected the modeling industry, and how her honesty has gotten her in trouble in the past.Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogBooks mentioned on Ep. 454: shopmy.us/collections/90286Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.

We’re answering so many pressing questions this week: Are beauty subscription boxes still worth getting? Why are interior designers offering scent-styling to clients? What does the EmFace treatment feel like? (Jenn tried it.) And, most importantly: Do people look like their dogs? Plus, Jess may finally convince Jenn to watch Real Housewives, a listener raises a wand to a hand cream, and we share a powder, cream, and liquid bronzer we like.Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogProducts mentioned on Ep. 453: https://shopmy.us/collections/89255Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.

Why is hyaluronic acid in pretty much every skincare product—and is it always helpful? Plus, the trend report that predicts virtual influencers will replace humans by 2027; how the scent of flowers is changing as the climate warms (and what that means for perfume); the first hair-relaxer lawsuit related to uterine cancer; and why Liquid Death (the water that murders your thirst) is so popular. We’re also raising wands to a deodorant that smells like figs, a beauty content creator you should follow, and a listener’s favorite refillable makeup palette.Sponsor links & discount codes: shopmy.us/collections/31511Episode recaps with links: fatmascara.com/blogProducts mentioned on Ep. 451: shopmy.us/collections/86943Private Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 Hosted on Acast.
