Summary

We kick off this episode with a quick trend report before diving into the news about Ami Colé. ICYMI, the brand is shutting down after four years — a major loss for the industry. We unpack what this means for beauty as a whole and how it reinforces our (unpopular) take on patronizing your favorite minority-owned brands at Target.

On the flip side, Urban Decay might finally be entering a new era. We break down their bold ambassador pick and the campaign that’s bringing real edge back to a brand that’s been struggling to stay relevant.
