Obsessed

I need this podcast to become daily! I love it so much. Nick and Annie’s friendship will draw you in and their whip-sharp insider knowledge of the beauty industry keeps you coming back for more. I’m in a completely unrelated profession but love my weekly peek behind the curtain with Nick and Annie. Love love love!

My favourite podcast

Such a delightful podcast. Annie and Nick are incredibly knowledgeable but never preachy, and I’ve developed a deep parasocial relationship with them, trusting their opinions on everything from “clean” beauty to the correct Ugg boots one should wear: priceless stuff. I also relish their analysis of the intersection between beauty and mental well-being and celebrity culture, which demonstrates there is nothing superficial about an interest in beauty.
