Ep. 24 Rimmel

In this episode, I’m covering the UK cool kids brand, Rimmel. From a leading 1830s Victorian perfumery with French roots to creating the modern London look, the Rimmel story is rich with history, innovation, and iconic partnerships.

Ep. 23 Tarte Cosmetics

In this episode, I’m covering Tarte Cosmetics, the brand that started as a cheek stain in a one bedroom NYC apartment and grew into a global beauty powerhouse. From Amazonian Clay to Shape Tape, Tarte has created many cult-status franchises and a little thing known as “influencer brand trips”. This week, I’m going to have you pick what I should try from the brand (I surprisingly don’t own anything by them!). So after you listen to the episode, let me know which product I should try by voting in the poll below! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Connect with me: Email: sarah@thecosmeticchronicles.com Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
