    International Lipstick Day Special With Eileen G'Sell

    Happy International Lipstick Day Outspoken Beauties! I have got the most brilliant and perfect guest for such an auspicious occasion! Eileen G'Sell is poet, culture critic, university teacher and author of Lipstick, which joined Bloomsbury’s Object Lessons series earlier this year. I love the description of this utterly brilliant book: "From Revlon to Glossier, from Marilyn to Gaga, lipstick is as shape-shifting and unwieldy as femininity itself. Who wears lipstick today – as a matter of routine? And for those who do, is it out of obligation to a strict feminine standard, or some other reason entirely? Lipstick reconsiders the beauty world's most conspicuous – and contentious – tool of artifice. Tossing expired ideas about femininity like so many tubes of melting wax, Lipstick explores how self-adornment can be a source of play, pleasure, and transformation, as well as how lipstick can knock gender norms off balance." My chat with Eileen got me so over-excited. She is so intelligent and has such brilliant views about beauty, self-expression, femininity and feminism. This is the perfect episode for a day that celebrates something that can feel so powerful and meaningful.

    If You're Thinking of Having Microneedling, You Need To Hear This!

    In this episode I'm joined by two icons of the beauty industry. Lesley Blair is CEO and Chair of BABTAC (British Association of Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) and Candice Gardner is the Education Manager of Learning and Content at Dermalogica, where she develops and oversees educational content and training for skincare professionals across the UK. Earlier this year I was incredibly inspired when I joined them at the Houses of Parliament for the launch of Sharp Standards, a UK-wide good practice guide and toolkit for micro-needling that is available to beauty practitioners across the UK. This industry shifting guide was authored by Candice on behalf of Dermalogica, in partnership with BABTAC. During the episode we talk about: The lack of legislation in the beauty industry and why they've been fighting for tighter laws in parliament for a long timeWhy they realised that they had to take matters into their own handsThe questions we should all be asking when we have an aesthetic treatmentThe risks of micro-needling and what we need to look out forHow to tell if a beauty practitioner has the right qualificationsWhy Sharp Standards will help both beauty practitioners and customers to feel more confidentWhy we should all be more aware of what can go wrong when we have beauty treatments This is such a great listen. More than anything it helps empower us as consumers to know what we should asking and also helps beauty professionals to become fully confident in their business practice.
