    Love it. Redness suggestions
    Love the show. Felt completely to offer some ideas for rosacea. I have seen a great improvement and I think it is mostly due to red light therapy. My doctor gave a script for Ivermectin cream. Also recommended using azelaic acid. The one from inky list has a slight green tint and I highly recommend trying it. Also I want to look into hypochloris acid spray… asking my derm about that soon. Anyway love the show- keep on doing what you do. Love the budget skincare btw.

    I can’t wait for Wednesdays because Breaking Beauty has a new episode! I love the way that Jill and Carlene explain everything, and just as importantly, the fact that you can go to their website and get links to everything that you describe. They are the only podcast that I listen to that makes it so easy to purchase. thank you for providing us with amazing content!

    Love love love this show!
    I look forward to this show every week! Carlene and Jill have great chemistry together, and their years of experience in the industry ensure credibility when interviewing founders and beauty insiders. Honestly with so many podcasts today I’m hesitant to believe most products that are discussed because I assume they are biased and paid advertising. But I trust that Carline and Jill’s recommendations are unbiased and I’ve had really positive experiences with 4 items on their #damngood list! I’ve even reached out for specific product advice and they were so responsive and helpful. 💖💖💖

    LOVE Breaking Beauty
    I listen to podcasts a lot because I travel for work and I am also obsessed with looking at lists of best beauty products haha. However always have that nagging feeling that things are sponsored and that’s what they come highly recommended. Not with Breaking Beauty!! Jill and Carlene are SO fun and sweet and industry professionals who give you the real scoop on all the products they try, what type of skin/concern it may work for, cost conscious options for us regular girls. They are funny, engaging, and have amazing guests who they ask the best questions to. I’ve been listening nonstop since I found this podcast! Loving it and I can get my beauty lists on the go, AMAZING!!
  • SpaceyStacey

    Love!
    I love this podcast. I’m a 54 year old mom who has been obsessed with all things beauty related since I was a teenager. This podcast is so informative. I have found so many great products that I recommend to others. I’m that person that other women call when they need a mascara or moisturizer recommendation because I’ve bought them all. Thank you for an enjoyable and informative podcast!!!
  • Lovelycowgirl
    Love Jill and Carlene!

    Breaking Beauty Podcast Must Listen!
    Hey Carlene and Jill!! I’m a Cynthia so I had to accept the challenge to write a review for one of my FAVORITE podcasts!! I found this podcast in 2020 when I had more time to listen to podcasts. I look forward to listening each Wednesday and whenever Jill and Carlene do bonus episodes! If you love all things beauty this podcast is one for you! These ladies know the market, give great advice and suggestions at all price points. I have found some great products based on listening and saved money because I trust their opinions! I also love all of their social platforms, their energy, their honesty and being willing to share industry knowledge with the everyday woman! Do yourself a favor and subscribe. ❤️❤️❤️
  • Lilly Ming
    OG Beauty Podcast
    I’ve been listening for years and love this podcast as a beauty junkie and esthetician. I’ve noticed there are a few podcasts out there that are very ~similar~, but Breaking Beauty is the OG.
  • Sal0091j
    Learned things that changed my skin!
    I listen to this podcast pretty regularly and had to write a review because I’ve realized half the products I use, I learned about from this podcast. My skin has changed after using the advice they get from their skincare guests (like when to exfoliate and use retinol) and I have way less breakouts and more even-ness. Kinda like a dermatologist in my pocket. Thanks for what you do, ladies!
  • Nicole Wo
    An informative and feel good podcast
    I’ve been a long time listener and LOVE this podcast. I have found so many great products over the years and am so grateful for Jill and Carlene sharing their knowledge.
  • Jill to a Jill
    From a Jill :)
    I usually don’t write reviews but since you asked… This is the only beauty focused podcast that I consistently come back to. Jill and Carlene have the credibility and background to attract great guests and I ALWAYS learn something. They’ve influenced me to try a lot of new things that have become regular staples…Beauty Pie products, Armani foundation, Augustinus Bader…to name a few.
  • Keep Moving!
    Look forward to it every week!
    I truly enjoy this podcast and have learned so many things from product recommendations to background on brands that I love and use. Listening to Jill and Carlene is like meeting friends for coffee 😊

    Supergoop sunscreen misinformation
    By listening to the one of the recent Podcasts ( ep. 234) I realized that the main purpose of this one is promoting and advertising. After listening 3 times to the Supergoop founder episode I went ahead and purchased a few product thinking I finally found a product that I would use happily every day including my 1,3 and 11 year old children since Mrs. Thaggard claims that is very safe for children. Then I started digging in some medical studies and found out that there is no such a thing as clean chemical and that zinc used for children safe sunscreen is not made in lab but used in the lab to produce zinc mineral sunscreen for kids. Supergoop sunscreen though has exact same active components as other non zinc popular sunscreens with the only difference that Supergoop has half of the Homosalate ( 7% vs 15%) and exact same amount of Avobenzone, Octisalate and Octocrylene that when exposed to sunlight brake down and release free radicals that can potentially cause some kind of cancers other than skin cancer. For that exact reason those kind of sunscreens are banned in most of the European countries. I’m conclusion I want to admit that indeed supergoop from esthetic point of view has extraordinary feel, unlike any sunscreen but in terms of health concerns is not any better than what we already have on the market for half of its price!

    Huge fan!
    I love love love this podcast! Jill and Carlene are incredibly knowledgeable on the beauty industry and give real advice and feedback on the best products to try. I love all the different types of episodes from the interviews with creators to the glow down episodes. I’ve purchased some of their top shelf products and have loved all of them. Many will now be constants in my beauty routine, including the bum bum cream and Tatcha’s silk liquid primer!
  • corybales
    Regular rotation
    I absolutely love this podcast. The girls have incredible beauty knowledge, give honest opinions, and always have topics that I want to hear about. Them chatting is like hanging with your nicest girlfriends in the group. Thank you, Jill & Carlene!
  • Silvertwins

    Fun and Informative!
    Such a fun balance of fun and I formative. I feel like I’m curled up on a couch chatting with my two bffs when I listen and getting all their best beauty secrets/advice!

    Beauty is a feeling
    Listening to this podcast has really helped me get thru the pandemic. As a healthcare worker I want to listen to something fun and informative. This podcast has had a diverse group of guests and they talk about expensive brands to drugstore brands. I have tried some of their recommendations and I have not been disappointed. Continue to do what you do best and spread the love through beauty!
  • Shannon K Design
    My Morning routine!
    I am addicted to you gals and as soon as I wake up, I’m on Apple podcasts. I am a multi-category beauty expert, and This is one of the few podcasts that I use to keep my finger on the pulse of the beauty Biz. Thanks for your hard work!!!
  • Joyy2theworld
    It would have been a 5/5 BUT…
    These ladies are so lovely. The only drawback to listening to this show is that they do not pronounce words right, and this will happen more than you think. They pronounce Tati Westbrook’s first name wrong, Eczema has been pronounced wrong, and the brand Amika is pronounced wrong. It takes me so long to realize what these ladies are speaking about half the time, because they mispronounce so many things. I wanted to find another beauty podcast because i love fat mascara, and this podcast truly would be so great if they would take the time to learn how to pronounce things!
  • Aves34434
    Are y’all friends?
    I really love this pod that’s why I’m giving all 5 stars, but sometimes I truly wonder if the ladies actually like each other, sometimes one will almost seem annoyed that that the other is talking. Just a weird vibe here & there. Nothing that stops me from listening & loving the pod though. Please do a crossover with Gloss Angeles one day!!!!
  • les37043
    My favorite beauty products podcast

  • Kimberlee Stern
    One of my favorite beauty podcasts!
    Jill and Carlene bring a fabulous mix of beauty news, product reviews and interviews. Breaking Beauty is part of my Wednesday routine. Can’t wait to see a new episode each week. ❤️
  • sammmywich
    One of the best beauty podcasts!
    I love this pod and you can tell the ladies are very good at what they do and love it. I just wish they would end the podcast with a goodbye or something instead of cutting the interview. Other wise great!
  • Clever and entertaining
    Love these ladies!
    I love how I learn from each episode and how you speak so the listener understands e.g you dumb it down and don't speak down to the listener. I appreciate how you offer all price ranges and that you don't love every product but give your real opinion. You are both sweet and funny - stay true to yourself - that is your gift!!
  • melllllldo
    Love your style and commentary.
    Hey, love love love. Learned about you through eyewitness beauty. Side note: I listened to Dr. Sturm episode because I use many of her products. Was overwhelmed by how rude she was when you asked basic and engaging questions. I am rethinking purchasing. You both handle with such grace.
  • Islandbeauty808
    My kind of lunchtime chat
    These gals are fun to listen to... love that they give time to drugstore finds, luxury and emerging indie beauty brands throughout their show. So many takeaways on products I intend to look up and purchase later because of their seasoned insight and enthusiasm.
  • EricaBushwell
    Love this show!

    Can we take a moment?...
    To acknowledge what a delightful person Victoria Beckham is? I LOVED that episode - such an interesting, squared away woman. Love this podcast ALWAYS.
