Happy New Year everyone! This week, we are quite literally crying, laughing and *nearly* screaming with our guest-of-the-hour, Mario Dedivanovic.

He accepted an American Influencer Award with a gripping coming-out speech that inspired legions of fans. And now, he boasts 13.8 million followers on Instagram ? outstanding for a makeup artist from humble, Bronx basement beginnings.

Listen in as Mario shares his personal and raw origin story, along with his pro tips on the soft glam makeup he?s influencing us with today. (Surprise: the word ?contouring? was not mentioned.)

This week?s episode is brought to you in partnership with Droplette. 

 

What if the most effective skin treatment never touched your fingertips at all? In this week?s episode, we sit down with MIT-trained inventors, Madhavi Gavini and Rathi Srinivas, to learn the fascinating backstory behind the ?Nespresso? of skincare devices, Droplette.

 

The handheld, at-home micro-infusing skincare device (picture a computer mouse!) has made the leap from medical prototype to topshelf must-have. The real jawdropper? It?s designed to deliver skincare into, not just onto, your skin, and it claims to help skincare ingredients penetrate 20x deeper than slather-on creams. 

 

What you?ll discover in this episode:

 

How the company?s co-founders went from pediatric and Covid research to the world of skincare, starting in their kitchens

How the NASA-backed device works, with tips on working it into your existing routine

How the ground-breaking, micro-infusing technology could be used to help revolutionize medical therapeutics in future

How Droplette differs from microneedling?s delivery approach, and why the device can even be used in conjunction with ?micro-coring? 

The cleanser and sunscreen brands these women in STEM trust to round out their own routines

Happy Women?s Day, everyone! This week we?re putting a lens on beauty standards, gaining some much needed perspective and discussing how rising pressures from celebrities, social media and real life biases are shaping our experiences.

 

Joining us are two fellow beauty journalists from across the pond. Charisse Kenion is the host of BeautyMe podcast. She?s also a beauty and fashion writer, editor and photographer who?s interviewed everyone from Diane Von Furstenberg to Dolce & Gabbana.

We?re also welcoming Conde Nast Traveller Beauty Director, Anita Bhagwandas. Anita is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster and she?s the beauty columnist for The Guardian. Her new book, ?Ugly: Giving Us Back Our Beauty Standards? uncovers where beauty standards started, why they've been perpetuated and she unmasks the structures that continue to support them. 

 

This Week We Discuss:

 

Whoopi vs. Joan, Child-free Chelsea and Viola the Brave: The women who are living rent-free in our head at the moment

Madonna-Gate: Does the limit exist when it comes to celeb plastic surgery or should we all stop judging?

How artificial intelligence is shaping our views around beauty

Are ?tweakments? warping our authentic sense of selves?
