    Makeup By Mario is Here to Share The New Makeup Rules for 2024, The Secret Project He’s Working On and The Never-Heard-Before, Very Personal Manifestation for The Year Ahead

    Happy New Year everyone! This week, we are quite literally crying, laughing and *nearly* screaming with our guest-of-the-hour, Mario Dedivanovic. Makeup by Mario, as he’s better known, joined us back in 2019, and a lot has happened since then. The era-defining King of Contour who rose to fame as Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist dropped his eponymous makeup line at Sephora. 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.)

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • Why Mario never uses makeup primers (a real bonding moment for Carlene)
    • His new fave GRWM lip combo, including his signature lip lift hack
    • Details on the glam guru’s new launch, Makeup By Mario SuperSatin Lipstick, an ode to his native New York
    • The drugstore products Mario still uses today
    • Secret project alert! For the first time, Mario opens up about an upcoming book.
    • The other, very personal goal he’s manifesting for 2024


    Bonus content alert! 

    Tune in to our YouTube channel to watch the full-length episode with Mario (please hit subscribe while you’re there!) Plus, check out our TikTok to see Mario react to some of his most iconic makeup looks, including a 2008 photo shoot with Kim Kardashian and Kendall Jenner’s first ever Met Gala.

    Peeping Chanel’s Archives, Behind The Skincare Lab Curtain & The Facial Trend You're About to See Everywhere. Plus! Where We Ate, Stayed and Shopped in Paris

    This week, we pull back the double-CC’s curtain to recap Chanel’s first brand trip of its kind at the brand’s Research & Innovation HQ, just outside of Paris, in historic Pantin. From Chanel’s “integrative beauty” approach to its open air “Sky Labs” and what we learned in the archive room of priceless relics from the roaring 20s – find out how Gabrielle Chanel’s influence lives on today.

    Plus, stay tuned until the end as we reveal our favourite places to stay, eat and shop in the City of Lights. Carlene reveals her epic purchase from 31 Rue Cambon, Jill falls in love with a luxe-y serum and we eat at a delish locals-only spot where we’re thrilled to be ever-so-chicly ignored.  

    In this episode you’ll hear:

    • The real reason why Gabrielle’s favourite flower, camellia, is found throughout Chanel skincare, and what the latest senescence research reveals about how we age
    • Why “fascia facials” are the next big thing in spas
    • All of the details on Chanel’s latest beauty treasure, 31 Le Rouge, a refillable lipstick keepsake inspired by the legendary art deco staircase at the iconic 31 rue Cambon 
    • Our ultimate French girl sighting in the flagship Chanel boutique (ooh la la!)
    • French pharmacy finds Jill couldn’t leave behind (a hyaluronic acid *foam*, a better-in-Europe moisturizer and the cheap ’n’ cheerful hairspray hoarded by hair pros.)  

    Pssst! We want to hear from you. Would you ever want to explore Paris like a beauty editor? Drop into our Instagram DMs if you think Breaking Beauty Pod Trips could be a thing!!

    Why Ilia’s Viral Skin Tint Is So #DamnGood With Ilia Beauty Founder Sasha Plavsic

    If there’s one product that epitomizes the year’s “clean girl aesthetic” in a bottle, it’s Ilia’s now iconic Super Serum Skin Tint SPF 40, a unit of which sells every 30 seconds. But Ilia wasn’t always a buzzy, $100 million dollar company. Today, brand founder Sasha Plavsic shares the surprising story behind the indie darling’s late-blooming turnaround, years after its 2011 debut with just six simple lip tints.

    • The surprising, problem-solving innovation that shot to #1 at Sephora within one month of its launch (no, it wasn’t the skin tint!) 
    • Why the brand chose to press pause on what was primed to be its biggest colour launch of the year - even after hosting a media dinner for the occasion
    • A sneak peek at what Ilia will launch in January, 2024! (Hint: Got any ____?!)

    Is the “Plastic Surgery Lite” Trend As Breezy As it Seems? “Mini” Facelifts, “Liquid” Nose Jobs & More With Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban

    Is the “Plastic Surgery Lite” Trend As Breezy As it Seems? “Mini” Facelifts, “Liquid” Nose Jobs & More With Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban

    Buckle up. As host of Plastic Surgery: Uncensored podcast, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rady Rahban is bringing his no-BS style of education to the pod. The Beverly Hills expert gets downright unfiltered about unregulated procedures, shammy practitioners and plastic surgery taboos, while offering up the sort of advice you’d want to know before going under the knife. 

    This week, we go deep on the headlines surrounding “plastic surgery lite” –  “mini facelifts,” non-surgical necklifts and “liquid” nose jobs that sound incredibly appealing – and maybe, just a little too good to be true.

    In this episode you’ll learn:


    • The best way to find a reputable surgeon who’s going to give you the best possible results
    • What is liquid rhinoplasty? Why it may not be the silver bullet it promises to be for most candidates
    • Mini-facelifts: Whether minimally invasive lifts are as genius, and affordable in the long run, as they sound
    • Necklift “lite”: Why none of the treatments marketed at so many offices are cutting it, according to Dr. Rady
    • Plus, what’s the going rate for a facelift these days anyway?!
