Some products live up to the hype. Most don't. This episode sorts out which is which.
Host Amy Sherman sits down with Katie Georges, a lifestyle and beauty content creator known for her honest beauty and wellness product roundups on Instagram and TikTok. Katie built her audience by testing things herself and telling people the truth about what actually works, which makes her beauty and wellness product recommendations feel more like a recommendation from a friend than an ad.
They trade favorites across skincare, makeup, hair, and self-care. First up is a sleep tool Amy already owns thanks to Katie's influence. From there they get into a cult toothpaste that Katie says has kept her from reaching for extra whitening treatments and strips and a Pilates weight set that solves a problem neither of them had seen solved before.
Katie is just as candid about what doesn’t work, including a viral body-care product she kept seeing online and could not stand. The result is a useful mix of beauty and wellness product reviews, with clear favorites worth spending on and a few hyped-up picks you can happily skip.
Press play for the full list of holy grails, splurges, and one honest miss.
