    Racism
    It’s about the investment / return It has nothing to do with “lack of inclusion” I think the American population at large is exhausted of this hatred and inferiority complex. Is there anything wrong with black brands focusing majorly on their demographic and not on white people, instead of HATING businesses that are simply catering more to their inspirations and demographic? People like this woman is creating RACISM . Why doesn’t she create HER OWN BRAND AND EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND HOW HARD IT IS TO MAKE EVERYONE HAPPY . Shame on you for piling on this ignorance , mediocrity of thought , rather than elevating conversation in society .

    Bummer
    I was liking this podcast until I realized they feature guests who do not use evidence based products and methods.

    Always hits!
    Since I began listening, I’ve binged several episodes and look forward to each new one! As a “mature” beauty lover, I enjoy hearing Jill and Carlene’s recommendations and their honest reviews. They feature great guests, ask thoughtful questions, and their banter is so natural ❤️ Keep up the great work. This podcast hits every time!

    Nothing more than a commercial
    I used to enjoy this podcast but it has truly just become a way for business owners (or as they call them “founders” to push their products and services. Another one bites the dust.

    The “mmhmm” drove me away
    The podcast could be great with the exception of one of the hosts saying “mmhmm!” every 2 seconds, not exaggerating. It interrupts the other host and it’s just driven me crazy I can’t even listen anymore which is a BUMMER because I LOVED this podcast!!
  • RoseyJay143
    Mhmm
    This podcast is very informative and I like the guests they have on. I also like that they provide the links to products mentioned in episode. But the constant “MHMM” from the host drives me absolutely crazy!!!!
  • chasinkidsandcans
    Actual user friendly info !
    I love that the hosts ask great questions then, actually pause to let the guest answer questions without interruption! They speak to the young AND over 40 crowd and give their honest opinions that often differ from eachother without getting into a debate. So entertaining and your voices are so soothing without all the vocal fry prevalent in some shows. Keep up the excellent work ladies!

    Advertising podcast
    Don’t trust this podcast / advice because they’re obviously paid to market and promote products.

    I needed this!
    I needed to get my head out of the depressing world of US politics podcasts, so randomly searched for a beauty podcast. BB came up in the results so I started listening. Y’all have really given me a lot of joy, reawakening my desire to take better care of myself no matter what life is serving up. I feel like we are friends now! 😘Thanks for all your hard work. I’ve found a lot of new products I really love. 💗 Steph

    Latest episode
    Regarding your latest derm episode, check out reputable companies like primary pure beef tallow products very healing … less on the Sephora skincare products most are not great
  • NuclearWintre
    each episode is only as good as their guest
    sometimes they have lovely guests, but other times they invite quacks to come on and spread misinformation and they hang on their every word.
  • Texasgalklm
    Fantastic beauty podcast! My favorite!
    I love that Jill and Carlene tell us about a variety of beauty topics. I enjoy the knowledgeable perspective they have on products, brands, ingredients, tools, and techniques. I find the episodes with beauty brand founders very interesting and always love hearing from makeup artists.

    Sir John was the best episode
    Please have him come back often and Mario is good too!! Love your podcast. Thank you for looking out for women of color
  • reviewerblueraven
    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.

    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

    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!
