| 0:00.0 | The following podcast is a Dear Media production. |
| 0:08.1 | Welcome to Breaking Beauty, the podcast, all about the breakthrough people, products, and moments in beauty. |
| 0:14.0 | We're your host, Jill Dunn and Carleen Higgins. |
| 0:23.9 | Welcome back to Breaking Beauty, everyone. |
| 0:31.7 | The podcast all about the breakthrough, people, products, and moments and beauty, hosted by myself, Carlene Higgins, and my dear pal, Jill Dunn. |
| 0:43.0 | Hey, Carlene, and if you're a regular listener, you know that we are here each and every Wednesday with incredible guests like Lisa Eldridge, Haley Bieber, Tracy Ellis Ross. |
| 0:44.1 | The hits keep on coming. |
| 0:55.8 | But our most popular episodes are the shows where we review the hashtag damn good products that we have tested, analyzed, put into industry context, and basically what's made the grade with us as two longtime beauty editors who have seen it all and |

| 1:56.8 | And so many of my friends were talking about this, even before I really had tried the product. So I think that just goes to show how incredibly successful this brand has been in such a short amount of time. And she has joined the ranks of elite Dior spas. They carry a ray. Pamela Anderson fronted the brand last year for their MB1 launch, which was all about |
| 2:19.7 | targeting perimenopause. And like I mentioned, people are just, they're into the array vibe. |
