Customer Reviews
The best thing on iTunes.
Did I just download and register on iTunes just so that I could leave these guys a review? Indeed I did. These guys are the nerdy, logical voices of reason of the modern beauty industry. In an industry dominated by the young, the female, and the trying-to-sell-you-something, these are not the heroes we deserve, but the heroes we need right now.
Amazing podcast
This was so entertaining and informative and I love listening to all the episodes and I have learned so much about beauty and the community in such a short time. Keep on coming up with these great episodes.
Insightful
I love this podcast! Interesting to hear about the "behind the scenes" of beauty and seems like a lot of effort and research goes into the topics.
