Stop Pretending Beauty Trends Aren't About Money!

After a couple of weeks off, James and Robert are back with a brand new episode of The Double Cleanse… and this episode has a LOT of call outs. We kick off by calling out magazine awards (which publication’s “Best of Beauty” awards might actually be a paid sponsorship?) plus Robert has some insight into when he won one of these “prestigious” awards. The real conversation gets messy when James and Robert tackle the elephant in the room: expensive beauty trends and the "clean girl aesthetic" that's really just code for "looking rich". They discuss how modern beauty trends - minimalism, old money vibes, clean makeup - are all designed to make you look like you have disposable income, don't need to work hard, and probably own a horse. The twins get passionate about people's right to buy nice things regardless of their financial situation, sharing personal stories about choosing between eating and buying foundation when they first moved to London. They're also calling out influencers who are hypocritical: reviewing drugstore products for "relatable content" in one video, then unboxing their first Birkin in the next. The key question? Are these beauty trends actually about self-care, or are they just about looking rich? Don't forget to subscribe and catch new episodes of The Double Cleanse every Monday!

Beauty Trends That Are Going Away & SHOCKING Product Waste

We’re tackling product waste and the beauty trends which need to go bye-bye on this episode of The Double Cleanse! After discovering that Americans can actually return used cosmetics (!!), James and Robert are diving into the shocking amount of product waste in beauty retail. From damaged-on-purpose makeup to prevent theft and dumpster diving, to products that literally can't go back on the shelf even if they're unopened, the twins reveal just how wasteful the industry is. Then they expose a particularly egregious TikTok trend: a woman bragging about returning her sixth perfume to Sephora in one week – products that immediately get thrown away instead of resold. The waste is real, and it's infuriating. James and Robert are also predicting which beauty trends are about to go extinct! They're calling out the death of glossy, dewy lip products and hydrating lip oils are on their way out. They discuss the cyclical nature of trends: glass skin peaked, now we're heading into matte everything like it's the 90s all over again. They also celebrate the return of peel-off masks, obsess over blue sheet masks and predict the rise of fruit-based skincare ingredients (apple, banana, avocado) making a major comeback.

We're Angry! Fake Aesthetics, Brands Faking Problems & Roasting TikTok Shop

James and Robert are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week they're in FULL RANT MODE… they’re unleashing it all. After celebrating Marc Jacobs Beauty's comeback with gorgeously packaged products, James goes on a passionate tangent about something that absolutely infuriates him: why do all lip product shades have to be sexually suggestive? He reads out the offending shade names and rightfully questions why our lips need to be reduced to sexual objects in product marketing. Whatever happened to empowerment and self love in beauty? They're calling out influencers overselling "vintage" film camera aesthetics as revolutionary when it's just low-quality pictures you can replicate with a filter in one click. They're absolutely roasting the TikTok Shop towel warmer dispenser. And most importantly, they're fed up with brands literally inventing problems to sell solutions. Hot towels? No one asked for that. Shitty quality photos? Buy our camera! Walking upstairs wrong? Get our backwards slippers! The message is loud and clear: it's okay to be excited about products, but stop overselling and stop making up fake needs!

Jocelyn Si on Transitioning, Euphoria & Walt Disco

Jocelyn Si is the singer of Walt Disco, a Scottish band making bold, unapologetic pop music grounded in authenticity and joy. With her bandmates, Jocelyn has crafted an album that explores the messy, beautiful experience of becoming yourself. Beyond her music, Jocelyn is a thoughtful artist who refuses to be reduced to a single narrative: she's a musician first, a trans woman second, and someone determined to show the world that transition is filled with euphoria, not just struggle. On this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Jocelyn dive into the formative moment that shaped her entire life, finally living authentically after years of hiding and the journey through her transition. The conversation tackles the narrative gap: why media only covers trans stories through trauma and suffering when the lived reality is often euphoria and affirmation. They touch on being a musician who happens to be trans rather than a trans musician defined only by her identity and how transitioning in her late 20s feels like starting fresh. Jocelyn also shares the unexpected gift of making friends in her late 20s, navigating major life phases at any age and where she finds her power...

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?

The Beauty Products Everyone Loves - But Shouldn't!

We’re back with a new episode of The Double Cleanse, and James & Robert are calling out the beauty products that everyone seems to love – but absolutely should NOT! After opening with the twins bonding over their hot take that all identical twins should be children, they share hilarious stories about creepy twin encounters and confess that triplets are "the worst people you'll ever meet". From there, James and Robert tackle overhyped beauty products that frankly need to disappear! James absolutely DESTROYS a ‘shape tape’ concealer (which isn’t a tape) – describing it as "liquidated clay," "cat litter," and "flour mixed into concealer". They also call out luxury cream formulations and they break down how beautiful packaging, gold spatulas, and pleasant smells can trick us into thinking we're getting premium results, when in reality, you're paying luxury prices for mid-tier performance.
