Summary
We’re starting this episode with a quick check-in for our California listeners about Prop 50 and a look at how the government shutdown is impacting SNAP recipients — plus real, actionable ways to help. Then we dive into a packed news rundown: Ulta’s invite-only marketplace and why more K-beauty is popping up, reports that LVMH may sell its stake in Fenty Beauty (and what that could mean for Kendo), MAC heading into select Sephora locations, the “clean”/Conscious Beauty lawsuit aimed at Ulta, and the FDA’s new communication on RF microneedling and why provider experience really matters. And before we get to all the beauty… can we talk about the wild amount of product placement in this season of Nobody Wants This?!
