Everything WRONG With Men's Skincare & Make-Up

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse and they’re taking men’s skincare and make-up – and why the industry is completely dropping the ball. We get into this episode with bonding over recurring sock disasters whilst they’re in London (plus an embarrassing sock story) as well as a wild Fact Or Fiction story that has to be heard to be believed… Then the conversation gets serious: why do men's skincare and makeup brands absolutely suck? James and Robert break down how brands are making basic products, while K-beauty brands completely nail it by featuring men in displays alongside women's products without any awkward gender gatekeeping. In Korea, brands treat makeup as interchangeable across all genders – no "for men" nonsense needed. The twins discuss how Gen Z is normalizing men wearing makeup (think: Dominic Fike at the Met Gala), yet Western brands still treat men's skincare like a joke – either downplaying ingredients or going hypermasculine with grenade-shaped lip balms instead of just making good products. The verdict? Men deserve access to quality skincare and makeup, whether that's through unisex brands OR properly formulated men's lines – just stop making it embarrassing or basic!

Our Skincare & Beauty Recommendations... And How To Use Them!

If you love our product recommendations on The Double Cleanse, then this episode is for you! James & Robert are talking all about their favourite products… and they’re spilling how they’re ACTUALLY meant to be used! Our episode kicks off with an exciting update: the twins are going to Korea twice this year – and, even better, they’re planning to go twice that year in different seasons! Of course, this means debate about packing extra suitcases, dealing with Seoul's notorious June-July humidity, and how hot weather affects skin and makeup. Then comes the good stuff: product recommendations! From the Korean made foundation that keeps makeup looking fresh all day (without turning oily), to the cleansing oil that refreshes without irritating skin. The twins also discuss their double-cleansing routines, the importance of minimizing water exposure for sensitive skin and why certain textures make all the difference when you're dealing with heavy makeup. These are the products they genuinely reach for and repurchase! Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

The Dark Side of Fame, Addison Rae's Impact & Lizzo's New Album

The past couple of weeks of pop culture have reminded us all of the dark underbelly that exists in pop culture - and on this episode of Into It, Clara & Munroe are getting into it. From Lil Nas X's return to social media - and his new diagnosis, and openness about therapy - Clara & Munroe explore why the public so often make people like Nas (and Britney, and Amy) into avatars rather than real people. Munroe also speaks about what it's like to face a diagnosis when you already feel the world has given you enough to carry. Clara & Munroe also revisit their ongoing debate about Addison Rae and her true cultural reach before talking about the poor commercial performance of Lizzo's new album and the ugly cocktail behind it: from false accusations to beauty standards and the industrial complex behind the new music's failure. We wrap up with the TV shows Clara & Munroe are into... and a certain goalkeeper that the internet is thirsting over! Like, comment, subscribe, and don't miss new episodes of Into It every Monday.

The MOST ANNOYING Influencer Trends On Social Media

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're calling out the most annoying influencer trends taking over social media right now! After opening with the twins realizing just how miserable and whiny they've become (choking on their own spit and complaining about aluminum foil – classic signs of getting old), they unleash their frustrations about the influencer behaviours that drive them absolutely insane. James & Robert are tackling the rise of "expert" influencers who make blanket statements without proper credentials (looking at you: self-proclaimed dermatologists and "skin experts"), the annoying visual hooks where people wave products in and out of frame or overpour toner for engagement, and the exhausting double standards around "real skin" content. The twins also discuss how some influencers are changing their dialect and speech patterns to mimic other creators and why making bold statements about products being universally bad is irresponsible. The key message? Stop overpromising, stop pretending to be an expert when you're not, and for the love of god, stop wasting toner for a hook!

The Guardian's 100 Best Novels of All Time: A Hot Take, with Phil Chaffee and Joseph Dance

When the Guardian drops a list of the 100 Greatest Novels in English it's time to drop everything to talk about it. Luckily pod-regular guest, journalist Phil Chaffee and Joseph Dance, host of the Curious Readers podcast, also had views, and were willing to get together on a Sunday evening to share them. You'll hear our hits, our misses, how many we’ve read, whether we should have read more and much musing on whether a list like this is the way to get people excited about reading. We explore the joys of the sub-lists – the contributor lists – all squirrelled away on a sub-section of the Guardian's website, that arguably provide more excitement and inspiration than the fairly canonical top 100. Which is the best Brontë? Which is the best Austen? Do we age into certain books? If you've read all seven volumes of Proust shouldn't that count for more than one entry? All this and much, much more. Enjoy – this was an absolute delight to make and I hope it makes you smile as much as it did me. Have your say: get in touch on Instagram @bookclubreviewpodcast or email thebookclubreview@gmail.com, or head to our website for full shownotes. What would be in your top-10?

Drugstore Beauty Prices Are OUT OF CONTROL!

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're asking the question on everyone's mind: Is drugstore beauty even "drugstore" anymore? After kicking things off with stories about getting old (good quality basics are now exciting, apparently) and the best Gen Z customer service experience at a coffee shop, the Welsh Twins dive into the disappearing world of affordable beauty. Remember when you could walk into Boots or Superdrug with £5 and leave with multiple products? Those days are gone, and James and Robert are breaking down exactly why. From the "run don't walk" TikTok viral culture that's pushed drugstore prices sky-high to the brands that used to be affordable entry-level luxury but now cost as much as mid-range products, the twins are calling out how influencer purchasing habits and collecting culture have completely changed the game. They discuss how drugstore hauls used to be a massive YouTube genre, but now that same money barely gets you one or two products. The conversation gets real about how online beauty culture shifted shopping from "buying necessities when you run out" to actively hunting for the next viral sensation – and brands realized they could charge more because people would buy it anyway. The verdict? Drugstore still has gems if you look hard enough, but the era of throwaway purchases and impulse buys is officially over.

Beauty Hacks That Actually Work (And Ones That Don't)

We're talking all about the wild world of beauty hacks and skincare techniques on this episode of The Double Cleanse - what's actually useful and what's just viral clickbait! After opening with nostalgic stories about their school days (including a conspiracy theory about James inventing Cadbury's Dream chocolate bar), the twins dive into the modern beauty hack phenomenon. Are influencers really showing you groundbreaking techniques, or are they just making content look more interesting than it actually is? The twins are breaking down the difference between genuinely educational hacks – like colour correction tutorials that teach you colour theory – and the ridiculous "you're using this product WRONG" videos that are purely for entertainment. They're calling out the pressure on influencers to make everything seem revolutionary when really, you can just rub the damn product on your face. The key takeaway? If something is already working for you, ignore the hacks.

Ranking Celebrity Beauty Brands: Who Puts In The Effort?

We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James & Robert are raking celebrity beauty brands by how much effort the celebrities are ACTUALLY putting into them! But first, Robert gives us the tea on his recent wedding (!!) – spoiler alert: it was nothing like a typical wedding. The twins also bond over their mutual wedding horror: Robert was mistaken for James all night, while James regrets not eating more of the bacon bar. Then comes the main event: ranking celebrity beauty brands by effort level. They dissect Kylie Cosmetics, Brad Pitt's skincare line (which feels like a contractual obligation), and Jared Leto's skincare brand where he admitted he doesn't even use skincare – literally within the first week of launch! James defends Harry Styles' Pleasing as genuinely thoughtful with real vision, while Robert refuses to believe in it. Gwen Stefani gets roasted for basic, dropship-quality packaging. The twins champion women-founded indie brands like Blend Bunny and Glitz Cosmetics, whose pigmentation and quality actually rival Dior. The verdict? Most celebrity brands are vanity projects with minimal involvement – so they want to hear from YOU about which celebrity brands you think actually have genuine effort behind them.
