    Youth To The People’s Founders Bring California Cool to Your Top Shelf

    Welcome to MECCA Talks, your access-all-areas pass to the beauty, business and lifestyle experts we call our community.  Cousins and California natives Greg Gonzalez and Joe Cloyes grew up in a family obsessed with beauty. Their grandmother was a pioneer in high-performance skincare, and they count five aestheticians and cosmetologists among their extended family. So, starting a skincare brand came naturally.  Together, the pair founded Youth To The People. All about powerful ingredients and real results, the plant-based formulations sound like superfood smoothies (think kale, spinach, ginger and berries) made for the skin.  In this episode of MECCA Talks, the duo discusses their beauty-based childhood, blending their family’s heritage with modern values, and the importance of authenticity and community when building a brand.

    The Story Behind Every MECCA Skin Specialists’ Favourite Cream

    In today’s episode, Kate is joined by French pharmacist and Cosmetics 27 founder Michèle Evrard.  If you’ve ever walked into a MECCA store looking for something to soothe sensitive or irritated skin, it’s likely our team has shown you the Cosmetics 27 range. Since launching at MECCA over 10 years ago, the brand has earned cult status thanks to their gentle yet efficacious formulas. When a knee injury left her with a large scar, Michèle began looking for an ingredient that would help improve its appearance. She then came across the regenerative properties of Centella asiatica, an ancient plant used in Ayurvedic medicines. Harnessing the restorative power of the ‘longevity plant’, Michèle created her first (and most iconic) product, Baume 27, a moisturiser loved for its rich texture and deeply nourishing results. Now, Michèle joins us on MECCA Talks to chat about the French pharmacy space, taking care of skin as you age and reformulating a cult-favourite product. Products mentioned: Cosmetics 27 Baume 27 Advanced Formula Cosmetics 27 Cleanser 27 Cosmetics 27 Essence 27 Bio-Vitalising Cell Hydrating Fluid Cosmetics 27 Baume 27 Crème Corps Cosmetics 27 Baume 27 Serum  Host: Kate Blythe Producers: Kerri Gordon & Ruby Devlin Editor: Warwick Hughes Loved the latest episode of MECCA Talks?

    Why ILIA’s Viral Skin Tint Almost Didn’t Happen

    In today’s episode, Kate is joined by ILIA  founder and beauty pioneer, Sasha Plavsic. Sasha was in her early 30’s when she launched ILIA from her grandmothers’ garage over 14 years ago. While working full-time as a branding executive, she took a closer look at the ingredient lists of her favourite beauty products and realised a gap for high-performance formulas with plant-derived ingredients. Since launching in 2011, ILIA has established itself as a beauty pioneer, known for their skincare-powered formulas and viral hits such as the Super Serum Skin Tint and Face Base Milk. Now, Sasha joins us in the MECCA Talks studio to talk about why she’s so focused on formulation and shares more about the innovation behind some of the brand's most beloved products.  Host: Kate Blythe Producers: Kerri Gordon & Ruby Devlin Editor: Warwick Hughes Loved the latest episode of MECCA Talks?

    Isamaya Is The Artist Of The Next Generation

    British born makeup artist Isamaya Ffrench has spent more than a decade bringing her avant-garde looks to life on some of the most recognisable faces. From Kate Moss to Rihanna, Zendaya to Cher. Her distinctive style and non-conformist approach to beauty has also made her one of the most sought-after artists for fashion shows and editorial campaigns. Her collaborations with Byredo, Burberry, Vogue, Nike and Gucci featuring on magazines, runways and billboards all over the world. Isamaya’s extensive beauty experience, background in sculptural art and unique point of view are distilled into every product of her eponymous brand, ISAMAYA, which she launched in 2022. Their range of skin-loving formulas fuse artistry with science-backed innovation to create unique makeup-skincare hybrids: a colour correcting tint that targets dullness and discolouration; a bold, shimmery gloss that deeply nourishes lips; a multi-use sculpting stick packed full of barrier-boosting ceramides.   Now, Isamaya's brand is launching at MECCA and she joins Kate in the studio to talk more about her career so far and her innovative approach to skin-enhancing, hybrid makeup. Products mentioned: ISAMAYA Skin Enhancing Duo ISAMAYA 5 Point Lift ISAMAYA Face Glaze ISAMAYA Colour Correcting Serum ISAMAYA Liplacq ISAMAYA Sculpting Stick Host: Kate Blythe Producers: Kerri Gordon & Ruby Devlin Editor: Warwick Hughes Loved the latest episode of MECCA Talks?
