Ciara. One word. Two syllables. You could say she’s earned the title: ‘Queen of Pop.’ But she’s so much more than just a singer and songwriter. She’s a multi-faceted businesswoman. Her recently launched skincare brand, OAM (which stands for ‘on a mission’) is her latest foray into beauty and self-care—and she is ALL about self-care. We dive into why having agency over your own life is crucial and why self-belief should come first. She guides us through her workout routine (she’s a Peloton fan!),...

This is a big week for us. It’s a big week for Molly. 50 years around the sun. It’s hard to believe, really. 50 years of wisdom, sure, but man oh man is she youthful as ever. After all, isn’t 50 the new 30? We think so, at least. For a very special and rare appearance, we asked Molly’s husband Scott, and their three adorable children, Brooks, Scarlett, and Grey (along with Emese, of course) to ask her 50 questions—plus a few extra. We simply couldn’t resist. Think of this episode as one big rapi...

Bethenny Frankel is a force to be reckoned with. She’s a businesswoman, television personality, entrepreneur, author, investor, philanthropist, podcast host, and now (drumroll please) beauty influencer. Just over a year ago, bored in her house, she started experimenting with beauty products. Not just any beauty products but ALL beauty products. She’s now a full-fledged expert. In fact, she’s even giving us a run for her money. This is such a fun episode and we think you’re really going to love t...

Hilary Duff is a big deal. She’s had a career that’s spanned over two decades, she’s still working (at an all time high) and a mom of three. Did we mention she’s only 35? As someone who’s lived many lives, she’s been able to stay incredibly grounded and kind, too. On this note, as someone, who, from the outside, is doing it all and thriving, we really wanted a lens into a day of her life. And, we get pretty nitty gritty—from what time she wakes up (does she set an alarm?) to what she makes for b...

The cat is out of the bag. YSE Beauty is here and we couldn’t be more thrilled. In the spirit of YSE and all that it represents, we tapped some of our favorite guests (and a few surprise upcoming!!) to ask them one very specific question: "what’s the wisest thing you’ve ever been told?” This is a completely new and different type of episode for us (for one, it’s bite-sized) but it’s a true compilation of so many brilliant perspectives. So without further ado, we bring you: Dr. Jordan Geller, Han...

What does it mean to be “wise?" Having or showing experience, knowledge, and good judgement (most of the time). The idea of being wise, getting wiser, and sharing said wisdom was the very impetus for YSE Beauty, Molly’s dream skincare brand that launches today. After 2.5+ years in the making, we’re so excited to bring you an edited line of products that look good, feel good, and wear good. YSE Beauty (pronounced “wise") is precisely a marriage of science-backed clinical’s with the beauty and eas...

Here at Lipstick on the Rim, it’s safe to say we try a lot of products. In fact, we take great pride in being guinea pigs—testing, mixing, experimenting. You can call us scientists, if you must. It’s rare to find another human who similarly tries everything under the sun and thoroughly enjoys the act of doing so. Enter Newby Hands, Net-a-Porter’s Global Beauty Director. She’s as seasoned as they come and truly knows the best of the best when it comes to products, brands, trends, and more. We tal...

What do you think of when you first read the letters ‘LSD?’ While her initials are synonymous with the drug, one could say that Lauren Santo Domingo similarly has a psychedelic effect. Let’s be clear. This is a woman who started her career with a brief stint as a model, then transitioned to a Vogue editor, and took her learnings and spun them into a revelatory concept to shift the way people shop.

Historically speaking, acupuncture has gotten an iffy rap. To an outsider, it’s only fair. After all, acupuncture is a treatment that requires numerous amounts of tiny hair-thin needles that not only poke at you but stay in the body for a generous amount of time. Unpleasant at first glance? Definitely. But when you actually take the plunge, try it for yourself, and understand all the benefits, iffy rap, no more. Acupuncture is miraculous. Who better to back that theory up than New York-based acu...

When you hear the word ’therapy’ what comes to mind? A traumatic childhood? Depression? Anxiety? For years now, therapy has had a stigma—you must be TROUBLED! Hold on.

Just like the old adage goes, “new year, new us.” The only problem is, who can actually stick to that promise? A new you in the new year is a tall ask. Actually, unrealistic, if not completely unnecessary. Sure, we could all use some self-improvement, but, hey, isn’t life meant to be a work in progress? Who do we think we are trying to re-invent ourselves year after year? Madonna? So, let’s back up for a moment. We have a new proposal for you: "new year, same us (just a little bit better)." Isn’...

It’s a true art form. Plastic surgery, that is. You could even say a plastic surgeon holds a similar role to that of a magician. In fact, today’s guest has experience in both. It’s simple: you go in one way and come out another—and that’s exactly what attracted Dr. Steven Levine to the aesthetic plastic surgery field to begin with. There’s no grey area. As one of New York City's (and the world’s) finest, he’s perfected his craft to a T and has a keen eye for what makes both women and men look li...

An OG influencer, you might know her from The Chriselle Factor. Or maybe you know her from being the #1 fashion expert on YouTube.

An entrepreneur, author, body acceptance advocate, and so much more, she’s a true trail blazer in this crazy world we live in.

Bobbi Brown. A name synonymous with innovation and entrepreneur. She’s the true queen of “no makeup makeup.” Starting as a makeup artist in the early ‘90s, her approach was unlike anyone before her—embracing natural beauty, practically putting that term on the map. Not only did she make it fashionable to look like your best self, leaning into the idea of “less is more,” but she made it marketable to an industry that was championing bold looks and bright colors, shifting the decade into a more mi...

A bit mysterious, completely alluring, and definitively posh, she candidly shares memories from her Spice Girls days that will no doubt put a wide grin on your face.
