Summary
In this episode, we break down a buzzy new launch we’ve been testing nonstop: the m.ph Le Skin Weightless Serum Foundation from Mary Phillips, a buildable, skin-like formula with a luminous payoff we’re genuinely obsessed with. We also get into the brand’s growing pains, mixed reviews, and why new leadership could signal a stronger era ahead. Plus, we share the exciting news that Marc Jacobs Beauty is officially coming back (!!!), and close with a deeper conversation about newly surfaced correspondence linking some beauty industry figures — including Peter Thomas Roth — to convicted financier Jeffrey Epstein, and what it reveals about power, access, and accountability in beauty’s inner circles.
