“Life of a Showgirl” Fall! The #DamnGood...

DEAR MEDIA, JILL DUNN AND CARLENE HIGGINS
About this episode

“Life of a Showgirl” fall is here! This week, we’re diving into the ultimate Taylor Swift-inspired beauty lineup – think glitter freckles suitable for a Showgirl’s dressing table, creamy woods-inspired fragrances and opalescent shine – in celebration of the mogul’s latest album. From the fragrances we’re obsessing over to the cult beauty products Taylor actually reaches for herself, this episode is your VIP pass to everything iconic, utterly covetable and slightly savage this szn.


Disclaimer:  *Please note that mature themes are discussed throughout* 

We discuss:

  • Taylor Swift-adjacent fragrances: How Lore’s “Somewhere But Nowhere” fragrance, debuted by ex-Rhode CEO Melanie Bender, is the “woodsy” scent to covet this minute– at a fraction of the price of a certain Santal classic 
  • A Blake Lively comeback? How Taylor’s BFF figured into the highly-anticipated album, and why we’re rethinking everything we thought we knew about Blake Brown haircare
  • Elizabeth Taylor lore: We break down the parallel between Taylor Allison and Liz Taylor – one iconic fragrance at a time.
  • Actually romantic: The story behind the Charli xcx diss track and the “Puffer Gloss” Vs. “On Stage” lippie showdown we’re calling now
  • The real beauty products Taylor swears by: From her go-to mascara, to the glitter patches currently selling out and her go-to lipstick, Jill reveals the actual beauty products Taylor herself keeps on her top shelf
