  • What You Need to Know About the FDA Killing Talc Testing

    What You Need to Know About the FDA Killing Talc Testing
    Dec 5 2025

    This week, we kick things off talking about what a joy it was to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and also how weird our Spotify Wrapped was. We bring back WOYF and share a product from a recent guest that’s doing Sara’s skin good and a teeny set of brushes that Kirbie can’t get enough of. Then: what is really going on with asbestos testing in talc products? There’s a lot of misinformation online. We explain what’s actually happening and discuss several nuances related to it.

  • The ‘Marked Safe from MAHA’ Campaign & The New Lash Economy

    The ‘Marked Safe from MAHA’ Campaign & The New Lash Economy
    Dec 2 2025

    Kirbie kicks things off with a full debrief of our favorite pipsqueak herself, Sabrina Carpenter, and her Short n’ Sweet tour! Then we dive into influencer Whitney Wagner Hartley’s “Marked Safe from MAHA” campaign and unpack what MAHA actually is, why it’s tied to anti-vax/anti-science rhetoric, and how her pledge is pushing beauty and wellness brands to publicly reject that messaging and commit to sharing inclusive, science-backed health info instead. Will brands and retailers catch on? Finally, we get into the lash economy: traditional strip lashes and classic black mascara are on the decline, while “ghost lashes,” underlash clusters, lash serums, and skinified formulas are having a moment — plus the rise of tubing, brown, and burgundy/glitter “accent” mascaras that are quietly reshaping what a lash wardrobe looks like in 2025.
