On this week’s episode, we start out by asking you guys for help. We’re working on a podcast about social selling and MLM—brands that rely on multi-level marketing—in the beauty space, and we want to know what questions you have. Nu Skin, Oriflamme, Arbonne, Rodan + Fields, Mary Kay, Younique, Avon…what do you want to know about these types of companies and this subset of the beauty biz? Email us at info@fatmascara.com with your questions and thoughts so we can address them in an upcoming episode.
Now, let’s get into the show! On episode 184, we interview Julie Schott, co-founder and CEO of Starface and former beauty director of Elle.com. She talks about the acne acceptance movement, hydrocolloid patches, her must-have beauty products and services—and coffee enemas, 90 Day Fiancé, and oversharing on Instagram. We also discussed Coty buying Kylie Cosmetics (full disclosure: we recorded this episode back in November when the news was fresh) and then we chat about ways to prevent raw skin and nose flakes when you have a cold.
Below are links to the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi) reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter or via email (info@fatmascara.com).
