Are beauty embargoes officially dead? This week, we unpack what actually happens when embargoes are broken, whether there’s really a beauty blacklist, and why the rules seem to change once a launch hits the internet. Then, they get into Mikayla Nogueira’s decision to bring POV Beauty to Sephora—and debate whether Ulta might have actually been the smarter move. Plus, in partnership with K18 through Gloss Angeles Confidential, 200 listeners put the new FutureIQ Biomimetic Hair Longevity Serum to the test for three months. It makes some major claims around shedding, premature graying and scalp aging, so: did it actually deliver? The testers have thoughts.
