Summary

Noninvasive “tweakments” like DiamondGlow facials, Morpheus8, and the Moxi laser are gaining popularity with people who say they’re “high maintenance to be low maintenance.” Meaning: Can getting some cosmetic procedures now mean less makeup, less skincare, and less upkeep in the long run? Let’s discuss! After that: The FDA’s authority over cosmetics regulations is expanding, there’s a correlation between drinking sugary beverages and hair loss, and Jenn geeks out in the science corner. Plus, a listener raises a wand to Lucine, a shop that sources beautiful accessories from around the world, and we are officially obsessed.

Hello, hello, welcome to Fat Mascara. I'm Jess. Welcome, everyone. Hi, I'm Jen. It's time for Fat Mascara. Oh, yeah, yeah, it's time. Okay.

0:16.4

Let's do it. So listen, I was walking around the city the other day, and I knew it is not one, but two, like little pop-up Botox shops.

0:25.9

Okay, like drive-through, drive-through filler, drive-through talks. Yeah, just kind of like, you know, easy peasy.

0:32.8

I'm also saying I just kind of think- Actually, my block has a new one. Now that I can only think of it, and I walked by, and I saw the

0:38.4

Dermologic Assign, I was like, oh, it must be an estheticians, and then I looked at the menu, and it had Botox and stuff on it too.

0:44.8

It's getting very accessible. I mean, within reason, you know, it's not a- not a- not a brow wax, but yeah.

0:52.2

It isn't, but it does speak to something I was just reading about in Beauty Inc.

0:56.4

This new hashtag, High Maintenance to Be Low Maintenance. That's quite a mouthful.

1:02.0

Literally, the line is- I would stop typing. In fact, there's a parenthetical after the writer writes about it and says,

clunky and verbose as it is. Oh, my God. But what it's about are, quote, unquote, tweakments.

1:15.2

So people that are getting- that don't call what they're getting a treatment per se, but they're getting a

1:20.2

tweakment, small, small, small cosmetic procedures in order to do less of the big stuff, spend less on skincare, spend less on makeup, all of that.

1:31.7

Okay. Okay. So it's kind of like they're putting in the effort so that they can just jump out of bed and look gorgeous.

1:38.6

Hello. How many times have I talked about this over the years? Like this is- I know. I called it front-loading your beauty routine.

1:46.1

But that sounds so elegant. Once again, it's proving that I don't know how to know

1:52.8

2:04.6

approach my beauty. Like my whole routine is like I don't mind getting tweakments if you want to call them

2:10.6

that fine. I call them treatments. But so that I don't have to do so much with facials every month

2:17.6

in skincare and whatever. Like once a year laser, like you barely need serum. Well, I mean, I think

2:24.2

all of this depends on your budget. That was hyperbolic statement by the way. The minute it came out of my
