Hi, I'm Valerie, and you're listening to the Beauty Brains.

Welcome to the Beauty Brains, a show where real cosmetic chemists answer your

beauty product questions and give you an insider's look at the

cosmetics industry. This is episode 274. I'm your host Valerie George and with me today is

Perry Romanowski. Hi Perry. Hey Valerie good to see you it's been a little while

It's good to see you I can't wait to hear what you've been up to but first on today's show we're going to cover

What are your thoughts on the Dyson hair dryer? Or should I say my thoughts, can EGFs penetrate the skin, what's a

good substitute for the QV lip balm, and why do Prostoclandin-based eyelash products require a prescription.

But first, some of Perry's famous a name Chit-chat.

Perry, I heard or saw, I should say, on Instagram

that you did your annual castle run,

even though it's very disgusting,

would you like to tell our listeners

what that's all about?

It's my annual castle run. It's where I every every August I usually have to do a long run to train for the marathon which is in October. I am doing that this year. If we have it, you know, last year was canceled because of the pandemic.

But every year, there is actually a White Castle,

which I'm a huge fan of White Castle by the way.

Unfortunately, you know, they have a fan like me. I know some people are not fans. I am a huge fan. But I have to say, the White

Castle, I only go there once a year and I don't know how they stay in business if

fans like me only go once a year. But anyway... I mean do they know you or not really?

No I mean I only go there once a year.

So tell us what you get when you go.
