Speaker 1: Hey, Beauty's It's Jamie Joe and Jesse Massu and welcome Diskimfluence,
Speaker 1: a podcast dedicated to beauty, fashion and self love.
Speaker 2: Turning your weakness into your uniqueness.
Speaker 1: Before we get started, we'd like to acknowledge the custodians
Speaker 1: of the land on which we record, the Gadigel people
Speaker 1: of the Eor Nation. In today's episode, we will be
Speaker 1: telling you the celebrity brands that are actually worth your
Speaker 1: money and the products that we think.
Speaker 2: Will serve you best and some that you should probably avoid.
Speaker 1: Okay, celebrity beauty brands. I think that every celebrity ever
Speaker 1: has come out with some sort of beauty brand. They
Speaker 1: saw Fanti Beauty do it really really well, and now
Speaker 1: everyone's just thinking that they can do the exact same thing.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's just a way for them
Speaker 3: to like commodify off their name already and then make
Speaker 3: a brand from that.
Speaker 2: So it's just a big marketing ploy. Oh yeah, And
Speaker 2: sometimes I wonder if they're actually involved with the brand. Well,
Speaker 2: I would say that it depends on the brand.
Speaker 1: I think that some of the creators creators of the
Speaker 1: brand are so involved, which is really beautiful and you
Speaker 1: can see that coming through, and then others are just
Speaker 1: using the name whatever big celebrity name it is and
Speaker 1: sticking it on a brand and trying to sell.
Speaker 2: It to manufacturing products and selling it to us for
Speaker 2: the name.
Speaker 1: Yes, so true, But I mean I really love some
Speaker 1: beauty brands and they become staples in our makeup kits.
Speaker 2: And we all know.
Speaker 1: What those brands, we know what they have, Fanty Beauties,
Speaker 1: the rare beauty exactly roads and not everyone, unfortunately, has
Speaker 1: the same pool that Rihanna does, Like, you can't pretend
Speaker 1: to be rereach.
Speaker 4: She's going to sell anything because everyone loves her.
Speaker 3: That's true, But there are so many other celebrity beauty
Speaker 3: brands that you might not actually be aware about, and
Speaker 3: because they're kind of flops.
Speaker 1: Let's be real, let's be really Unfortunately, there are just
Speaker 1: too many, and a lot of people are doing the
Speaker 1: same thing, a lot of people doing hair. I think
Speaker 1: they were like, oh, everyone's done makeup, let's do hair.
Speaker 2: Let's be different. Now everyone's doing hair. As in let's
Speaker 2: name some of these brands.
Speaker 4: Okay, Jennifer Andison has a hair brand.
Speaker 2: Did we all know this? I actually did it?
Speaker 1: Not sure you told me, but honestly, would you ever
Speaker 1: look at Jennifer Anison be like, yes, her hair is amazing.
Speaker 2: I want no everyone back in her day.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that, like I want the Jonah fan
Speaker 3: as a nineties haircut. Yeah, but it's like, but now
Speaker 3: it's I think it's done.
Speaker 2: Her hair is still the same.
Speaker 1: I do love her though, she's great, but you know whatever.
Speaker 1: There's also reader Ora's hair brand. We've tried it.
Speaker 2: It is pretty good. Yeah, yeah, my hair type bait.
Speaker 2: I like the packaging a lot. It's like it's topology
Speaker 2: with the yellow I think.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the marketing side of that has done well is
Speaker 3: because of the way it's presented.
Speaker 2: I think reader Or is definitely like a business woman.
Speaker 1: She's she is a great celebrity, like she's very talented,
Speaker 1: but I think she's more of a business woman in
Speaker 1: my opinion.
Speaker 3: At the same time, I think it's also still early
Speaker 3: days for her for her, so I can't tell how
Speaker 3: that brand's going to do.
Speaker 2: Just yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, there's even JVN that's a hair brand from another celebrity.
Speaker 2: Who Yeah, didn't you know that? No, I did a
Speaker 2: celebrity own Yeah, which celebrity.
Speaker 1: He's from Queer Eye what's his name? Oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: Jonathan van Ness JVN. Yeah, JVN kind of like came
Speaker 1: onto the scene and they've got good products. But I
Speaker 1: don't think that it did very well.
Speaker 2: Oh why, Yeah, I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: I just think that again, so many incredible hair brands
Speaker 1: already and then.
Speaker 2: Just hair brands. Sometimes it's just good to stick in
Speaker 2: your lane. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 5: I have an answer for why. I think so Jonathan
Speaker 5: has kind of been a bit canceled because apparently has
Speaker 5: very like toxic behavior to his castmates.
Speaker 2: On Queer Eye.
Speaker 5: He's apparently a nightmare to work with. So that's probably
Speaker 5: why everything's flopping.
Speaker 1: I heard her rumor that it's kind of going under,
Speaker 1: but I don't even know if that's true. Don't take
Speaker 1: it as bible anyway. Okay, Well, Blake Lively just dropped
Speaker 1: a new hair brand.
Speaker 2: Very interesting.
Speaker 1: Well, I think you know, Blake's hair is pretty phenomenally.
Speaker 1: You've got Serena vander Woodson, like that's iconic hair.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and for our generation, I feel like everyone's going
Speaker 3: to want to buy onto that because Blake is so
Speaker 3: loved as well.
Speaker 2: I love Blake Lively. She's phenomenal. Yeah, I think she's incredible.
Speaker 2: She always turns up to the metal. Yeah the best
Speaker 2: except for this year, but so true.
Speaker 1: But her brand is called Blake Brown, which I think
Speaker 1: is like her original name, that's rue, like her middle name.
Speaker 2: I like the way it rolls.
Speaker 1: Off the it rolls off the tongue. Now this is
Speaker 1: her catch. I think this is like where she's trying
Speaker 1: to be different. Okay, she says that no one in
Speaker 1: Hollywood uses conditioner.
Speaker 2: What Yeah, that was her, that's her, So she has
Speaker 2: no conditions.
Speaker 1: There's no conditioner in the whole hair range, no one
Speaker 1: in Hollywood US.
Speaker 2: I don't believe it. Yeah, but here's the catch.
Speaker 1: She just has a mask like conditioner.
Speaker 2: They're using masks and said I do that. Well that's
Speaker 2: what we do. Oh that's fair exactly.
Speaker 4: I think it was like a cute, little cheeky marketing
Speaker 4: place to.
Speaker 1: Be like, what are they doing? I want to do
Speaker 1: that conditioner in Hollywood? No, you just use a hair
Speaker 1: mask instead, which is just a better version of conditioner.
Speaker 3: One brand that I've been keeping my eye on just
Speaker 3: for the kickles is Florence by Mills. So you're actually
Speaker 3: keeping your eye on it, Well, I'm just because I
Speaker 3: follow her well.
Speaker 2: I really like actor. She's so funny. The marketing is
Speaker 2: a little bit interesting. I think it is for like
Speaker 2: a younger audience than our generation.
Speaker 4: Do you think she could be doing better with the marketing?
Speaker 2: Do you like it?
Speaker 3: It's just not what you'd expect from a celebrity brand, right,
Speaker 3: but maybe maybe that.
Speaker 2: Will work for her. Maybe it's a bit kiddish.
Speaker 3: I'm trying to say, like the pimple patches probably like
Speaker 3: unicorns and rainbows or something like that.
Speaker 2: People patch is done, Yeah, I think so, but yeah,
Speaker 2: because grossed.
Speaker 4: But it's just not that Star People patches mean you're
Speaker 4: that girl.
Speaker 1: They just I feel like people wear Star People patches
Speaker 1: and they think that they're so indy.
Speaker 3: But they're kind of cute, like they're wearing a plastic
Speaker 3: pimple patch.
Speaker 2: But that's anyways, what else have we got? Beyonce has
Speaker 2: a hair brand.
Speaker 1: Beyonce has a hair brand, So Beyonce and Rihanna and
Speaker 1: both have hair brands.
Speaker 2: Now I think they're like battling it out. Yeah, but
Speaker 2: I've never tried Beyonces.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 1: Well, we're still waiting for them to be available in
Speaker 1: Australia and I am dying to try fenty hair.
Speaker 3: Okay, because fenty Hair is looking incredible. I see all
Speaker 3: the tiktoks for the curly girls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the reviews have been really great. It looks extremely
Speaker 1: hydrating for curly girls. And honestly, there's like a few
Speaker 1: good staple products. But it's not like she just copying
Speaker 1: pasted from a regular curl hair range. You can really tell.
Speaker 1: It's very well thoroughly thought out. Yeah, read out a
Speaker 1: few of the products.
Speaker 2: Okay, she's got the rich One Moisture Repair shampoo conditioner
Speaker 2: and then a deep conditioner. Right, but we would say
Speaker 2: that might be for a bit kinkier hair than.
Speaker 3: Our Yes, I probably wouldn't buy those products. Like after
Speaker 3: reading them and seeing them online, it looks like we're
Speaker 3: a tied to curl exactly, which is good because there's
Speaker 3: a lot out there for looser curl patterns already.
Speaker 1: Yep.
Speaker 3: But the products I have my eye on as the
Speaker 3: Home Curl curl defining cream, the jelly type stronghold gel.
Speaker 1: Yes, these look incredible. It looks so good and the
Speaker 1: packaging is so unique too.
Speaker 2: I love the packaging.
Speaker 3: It's in like a tub, which is not unusual, but
Speaker 3: it opens like a makeup palette.
Speaker 2: It doesn't like scroll off. Yeah, I really like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but the jelly type stronghold gel looks so it
Speaker 3: looks amazing.
Speaker 1: I also really like that. It's kind of a simplified
Speaker 1: routine for curly girls. So you've got just the cream and.
Speaker 2: Just the gel. A lot of uni.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of girls have been saying just two
Speaker 1: products and the hair is looking better than ever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, because a lot of the time you see on TikTok,
Speaker 2: like ten products lined up just to get your hair
Speaker 2: looking good.
Speaker 1: But like, honestly, that's not what you need when the
Speaker 1: products are good exactly. We've always preached that two steps
Speaker 1: for styling is perfect, yes, but they do have one
Speaker 1: more thing, right, No, they've.
Speaker 2: Got three more things.
Speaker 3: Oh wow, So the controlling type hair thickening edge control job.
Speaker 2: So this is more of a styling product when you
Speaker 2: want to slick your hair back, yeah, or even for
Speaker 2: girls who wear wigs.
Speaker 4: That'd be really good for under a wig exactly.
Speaker 2: And with that they've got the side stick three in
Speaker 2: one edge styling tool. See that looks so good. I
Speaker 2: want it so and that together. Yeah, like even for
Speaker 2: your hair right now, it would look so much better
Speaker 2: than what it does.
Speaker 4: That's a shade you're throwing at it.
Speaker 3: And then the last product is the Protective type five
Speaker 3: in one heat protectant styler. And a lot of time
Speaker 3: you think about heat protectant is before you straight and
Speaker 3: I'll give your hair a blowout. But honestly, when you're
Speaker 3: diffusing your hair, he protected should also be used. And
Speaker 3: I don't do it, but I think I want to
Speaker 3: start employment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and maybe we should try and get a hands
Speaker 2: on that.
Speaker 5: Then.
Speaker 1: I think he protected before diffusing is really good if
Speaker 1: you want a tight hold, because if you're diffusing without heat,
Speaker 1: it's you're not going to get a.
Speaker 3: Strong, long holding curls. Yeah, and that's why I really
Speaker 3: liked to refuse, because my hair lasts longer.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, honestly, like re Rey really always comes in with innovation,
Speaker 1: and that's one thing I love about her, and I
Speaker 1: I just think she does really really well to set
Speaker 1: herself aside.
Speaker 2: In the market.
Speaker 1: I would say, in terms of like the holy grail
Speaker 1: of celebrity brands, what do we have?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think we said earlier it's definitely fenty it's
Speaker 3: rare beauty, and I think now Roads has come onto
Speaker 3: the scene quite well, yeah, I really like Rhoades, but
Speaker 3: with Fenty, Like, let's get into this a little bit
Speaker 3: more in terms of her makeup. How has that like
Speaker 3: aged over time because it's been around longer than these
Speaker 3: other brands.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, they kind of stepped onto the scene and
Speaker 1: they made a big impact. Like Fenty Beauty was massive.
Speaker 1: This was the biggest launching beauty you know, after that.
Speaker 2: Massive beauty Guru era.
Speaker 1: Like this was iconic because she came out with a
Speaker 1: massive shade range that no other brand was doing, and
Speaker 1: that level of inclusivity did not exist before.
Speaker 2: Re redid it.
Speaker 1: She really did pave the way for other beauty brands
Speaker 1: to step up and get it together.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I think it kind of kicked everyone else in the butt,
Speaker 3: like this is the industry standard that needs to be happening.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was a really really like pivotal shift
Speaker 1: in the beauty market. And also she was really one
Speaker 1: of the first big celebrities to come out with a
Speaker 1: brand and kind of have this insane hype around the launches,
Speaker 1: Like it was so much fun. I remember going to
Speaker 1: the Sephora desk for the first time and just being
Speaker 1: like why.
Speaker 2: Did you go to like early fenty Beauty again and
Speaker 2: like you got to meet Rihanna. Oh yes.
Speaker 1: When fenty Beauty dropped in Australia, there was a massive,
Speaker 1: like exclusive event and I was fanging so hard, like
Speaker 1: I'd actually never felt that type of anxiety before because
Speaker 1: I just wanted to be as close to Rihanna as possible.
Speaker 2: That's so shute ghost. I was unlocked memory time ago.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for reference, Fancy Beauty did launch in twenty seventeen,
Speaker 3: so it's it's in that era. It was in that
Speaker 3: like beauty guru error, the makeup and strackaging and the
Speaker 3: artistry of it is really suited to that time, and
Speaker 3: I feel like there is room now for the brand
Speaker 3: to sort of give it a little regig in terms
Speaker 3: of packaging.
Speaker 1: Also in that time, there was a lot going on racially,
Speaker 1: so this was kind of a way to empower a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the beauty industry as well as
Speaker 1: outside of it.
Speaker 2: Like it just created a lot of noise. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: it definitely kicked off her brand super well. It launched
Speaker 2: at a really good time yeah for what it is, yeah,
Speaker 2: one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: Well in terms of now, like we I still really
Speaker 1: do love fnty beauty, but I feel like it just
Speaker 1: has a little bit less of a place in my kit.
Speaker 1: That's when I think Rare Beauty has really done an
Speaker 1: amazing job at establishing themselves as a brand for everybody.
Speaker 3: And like I said, you know, we never know where
Speaker 3: real beauty will be in Like we might feel the
Speaker 3: same about her brand in three years time or four
Speaker 3: years time, but for right now, she seems a bit
Speaker 3: more relevant to the current makeup because before it was
Speaker 3: really into like artistry, the full beat, the full glam,
Speaker 3: and now it's kind of like stripping it back and
Speaker 3: then everyone's sort of wanting to.
Speaker 2: Whatever's been portrayed in the media.
Speaker 3: I guess at this time it's more of like natural
Speaker 3: but glowy compared to a beef like a full beat.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: And Selena herself as a CEO of Red Beauty, she
Speaker 1: is so involved and you can really see the love
Speaker 1: filtered through, which is what I love about Red Beauty.
Speaker 1: And I like that it's an approachable brand, so you know,
Speaker 1: they have packaging that is easy for everybody to use
Speaker 1: even if you you know, struggle with any sort of
Speaker 1: like muscular things, Like I really like that she keeps
Speaker 1: everybody in mind when she's creating.
Speaker 2: That's really nice. Yeah, she's so sweet.
Speaker 1: I have met Selena Gomez, which is crazy.
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, I've literally been in the room with
Speaker 4: both of that.
Speaker 2: It's really cool. That's wild.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, honestly, literally, she was wearing this like snake
Speaker 1: skin little mini dress and bucket hat.
Speaker 2: Wasn't she wearing a hat?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. It was such a good time.
Speaker 1: It was a really cool time like that. That time
Speaker 1: in the beauty world was so exciting. And then yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that besides Fenty doing an incredible job, rare
Speaker 1: beauties like really solidified themselves in the market and they
Speaker 1: have so many beautiful products and they're super approachable.
Speaker 3: I find that these products a lot. They're in my
Speaker 3: kit now, like these are my staple products. We use
Speaker 3: them everywhere.
Speaker 2: With Fenty, what products would you say are like in
Speaker 2: and out?
Speaker 1: Well, I would say it's a really big brand now,
Speaker 1: like they've got a lot of products, so it can
Speaker 1: be established. Yeah, it can be like slightly overwhelming if
Speaker 1: you're new to makeup or if you're more like that
Speaker 1: kind of.
Speaker 4: Girl next door, like relaxed vibe with your makeup.
Speaker 2: But I would say like the iconic gloss bomb lip glosses.
Speaker 2: That's the Yeah, that's the lip gloss, Like that's the blueprint. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like I don't think any lip gloss comes close to it.
Speaker 2: It doesn't top it, like the consistency, like the thickness
Speaker 2: of the loiness, the way it actually like makes your
Speaker 2: lips look juice. Even just the innovation of shades.
Speaker 1: She really did kind of bring out the first range
Speaker 1: of lip glosses that were so different and bold. Then
Speaker 1: you're just like pinkies and you know.
Speaker 2: Regularly ones you're seeing the price line, Yeah, exactly. She
Speaker 2: she changed the game for shades some of like some
Speaker 2: of the brands now not celebrity rands, but they are
Speaker 2: stuck with like the old lip gloss shade ranges and
Speaker 2: like on tan skin, it's like you're putting conceala on
Speaker 2: your lip and it's foul.
Speaker 1: Well that's true, That's what I mean. For all types
Speaker 1: of races. She brought out shades that matched everybody. Like
Speaker 1: I found my first brown lipgloss from like re Re,
Speaker 1: and I remember being like this is revolutionary for me,
Speaker 1: Like I don't have concealer lips anymore.
Speaker 2: This actually matches, well, I don't have bright pink fish Yeah,
Speaker 2: bright pink Fisher lips.
Speaker 4: We're not revisiting that today.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I would say like when we're kind of
Speaker 1: fighting off between fenty and Red Beauty. Fenty just did
Speaker 1: release a whole range of lipliners. They're called traced Out
Speaker 1: and they're thirty dollars. You can get them at Saphora.
Speaker 1: On the other side of that, Red Beauty haslipliners as well,
Speaker 1: and they're twenty nine dollars.
Speaker 4: For a one dollar Yeah, very even out.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like in the same price range. But we
Speaker 3: have tried both these products out now. Yeah, we just
Speaker 3: recently got the Fenty ones and we both tried them
Speaker 3: out for the past couple of days, and we fought
Speaker 3: the battle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rare Beauty one. Ah yeah, Red Beauty one.
Speaker 1: They really did because Red Beauty is my staple lip line.
Speaker 1: I wear it every single day and nothing has ever
Speaker 1: come close to it.
Speaker 2: No, the formula is really good, Like you can eat
Speaker 2: with it. It will like usually stay on and then
Speaker 2: it just merges really well when you put like a
Speaker 2: liploss on. Yeah. The why is the consistency not as
Speaker 2: good for fenty? What's the difference? It's a bit more slippery.
Speaker 2: I found that it wasn't going where I wanted.
Speaker 1: It's almost too creamy. And also it's the packaging itself.
Speaker 1: So reduity is a wind up and then fenty is
Speaker 1: a you have to sharpen it like it's a kind
Speaker 1: of original pencil. And I just feel like the wind
Speaker 1: up is a lot more easy to use all the time.
Speaker 1: Like if I have a lipline in my bag and
Speaker 1: it's blunt, then I have no lips for the day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I don't I want lips.
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's just almost too creamy to the point
Speaker 1: where I can't get good definition.
Speaker 2: Which you want from a lipliner. Yeah, you would want that.
Speaker 1: But the shape range almost beats re Beauties like they
Speaker 1: have so Traders exactly. There's a bit of like you know,
Speaker 1: it almost balances itself out. The shades are stunning from
Speaker 1: Fentie and like, again, trust Rihanna to bring out the
Speaker 1: best shades for everybody, of course.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but in rylep Kit it's going to be the rabut.
Speaker 2: Yeah me too. I've for that one two.
Speaker 4: I've got to be petty like that. Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: So hopefully we've given you a little bit of guidance
Speaker 3: on what brands to try and what brands to avoid,
Speaker 3: and we'll leave you with that information to make your
Speaker 3: own decision.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really fun, like obviously give everything a go,
