Are Celebrity Makeup Brands a Cash Grab? Our Honest Thoughts | Fool Coverage ep 5 

I personally think the setup and the wall paper looks really nice 😍 but the only thing is that I think the split screen is throwing me off - I personally think being able to see both of you in one screen looks better like in the other set up with the tables? I have no clue if that makes sense 👀 but either way y’all and everything else are gorgeous!! 🥰

I would love to see you guys back in one frame together. It's giving real covid 19 vibes. Like it looks like you guys are in totally different places because of the split screen. Just some feedback. Love you guysss

The space is cute but I definitely like when you’re both in the screen together. The split screen feels like you guys aren’t connected. I think we all love seeing you interact together in one frame.

Props to Manny for shedding some light on the thousands of missing Native women that NEVER get talked about.

The wallpaper is gorgeous! I do miss seeing both of you on the same frame together, but I hope you can figure that out as you get the studio together.

I’m sorry but I hate the split screen. Feels like you aren’t actually with eachother and the best thing about the pod is that it feels like a real convo/hangout you would be having. Hope this isn’t a permanent thing bc I’d rather have the wrinkly tablecloth than this. lol

can we get an episode where you guys talk about your experiences starting/running your own businesses? i’m curious to know all the things behind the scenes that we don’t get to see or hear about, both good and bad.

I want to say thank you so much for mentioning MMIW (Missing/Murdered Indigenous Women). Natives are aware and consistently ask for help and unfortunately it’s not working to make many people aware. I hope they can find out what happened to Gabby.

i think if you do decide to talk about true crime- it should be about missing persons. with the platform you both have, it can reach more people and raise awareness on those cases

okay but the pod setup is coming together fam 👀

Not y'all forgetting Lauren Conrad being a beauty icon in the Hills prime, she literally released a book on beauty tips in 2011/2012

I love y’all’s duo! Can y’all talk about celebrities not owning up to surgeries and how it’s causing toxicity in the younger generation and their self image! I had this topic for an essay for college this past week. I think of you guys like older siblings for us viewers! Would love to hear your opinions 💜 xo

Manny: “Are we stupid?” Laura: “Yes. Genuinely yes.” I am so dead 🤣💀 love this podcast!

Tyler as the voice of god during the podcast is everything!! Love the pod and want more Tyler too!

You guys Lauren was the ultimate beauty icon since Laguna beach and her The Hills days especially for her winged eyeliner!! Who could forget the one mascara crying tear!

Hi! With peace & love, some feedback for the potential true crime episode and/or segment. I think if you’re going to mention true crime cases then it needs to be in a very respectful and serious manner - which doesn’t necessarily align with the point of this podcast, in my opinion. True crime deal with real people and there are families out there that search their loved ones names and it would be awful to hear someone’s story potentially being told wrong, skimmed over, or as just another story on a podcast. Most true crime channels I’ve seen and watched are generally very serious videos to bring awareness to a victim. I’ve seen SO much content about gabby petito solely being made for views and likes and it breaks my heart. Just something to consider if you do decide to make an episode or segment. That’s my take on it. I love this podcast and look forward to every episode ❤️❤️❤️

Can I give one teensy critique on setup? Check out Nick Viall’s podcast setup, it’s also in an office but he’s got two chairs and a table in between in a corner so we can see both people in one camera. And then everyone on his team, as well as him and guest(s) is hooked up to mics with headphones in case someone needs to chime in every once in a while. Otherwise I think it’s looking cute! And I’ve been loving the podcast!

THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING THE #MMIW. We are far too often forgotten and targeted. I appreciate you for mentioning that Manny. The midwest hates native americans the most.

Rare Beauty was definitely that sleeper hit that came out of left field and no one expected. Selena def deserves a 1 for what the brand has been able to do in such a short time!

I just joined a master class with Becky G for her brand tresluce. And she was so down to earth! And she seemed SO PASSIONATE ABOUT MAKEUP! And she wants to use her brand to celebrate the Latinx community 💛🙌

Yes! Thank you Manny for speaking about other missing persons cases that don't get the attention needed to solve them. Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women is a whole movement, look it up guys ❤

LOVE THIS POD! and this wallpaper 😍😍😍 but please no split screen 😫 love the cuts to each view though, but please have a 3rd cam thats shoots you two together. i love feeling like we’re in one room lol

I personally want a new episode 2 to 3 times a week once just is NOT enough 😂 love this podcast!!

Okay, first of all, this wallpaper is goals! Second, I have SO been enjoying this podcast!

To answer one of your questions, the thing about pressing charges depends on the state. In some states, If someone is a victim of domestic violence but doesn’t want to press charges, the state will press charges. Because too many people just keep taking abuse and going back to their abuser, so if the state steps in then it might help break that cycle

He was only a person of interest at the time when he went missing. They still should’ve kept heavier surveillance on him. It was CRYSTAL CLEAR he did it!!!

“Why would he ever read that to me” hahahahaha lost it

I love the whole "don't work with kids or animals" thing but that Kylie baby commercial was SO sweet and endearing. I am happy it was more cgi than having Stormi do more than just walk or sit with her mom. Its cute that she seems to like it!

This may just be generational and just when I was into certain things. For me Lauren Conrad is synonymous with makeup. She is the cat eye liner, mascara tear, and nude lip queen. I think of her from The Hills. I honestly didn't know she actually does have a clothing line and vlog channel

You should do a podcast about weird/crazy fan interactions

When manny said “are we stupid “?!? & laura agrees 😂😂😂 I didn’t know most of these questions either so guess I am too 🤣 love the podcast!

Lauren was deff a huge part of style and beauty in the 2000’s like HUGE

Love the set up so far but the split screen is very strange.. would love to see you both in the same frame! Waiting for the neon sign! I bet it will look BOMBBBB

The new space is BEAUTIFUL! That wallpaper is incredible.

It’s quite amazing to go from such blow up career ending cancellations and dramas to me sitting her loving your podcasts and not wanting it to go anywhere! I am really happy for you both and I am sure it was super tough and hard work but glad you survived it!

Ok so...I was a little hesitant about your guys' podcast at first cause I was like...are they gonna ignore their beauty background almost entirely and just talk about everything else that YTs are talking about? But wow, you guys offer such an amazing, insightful, intellectual convo on beauty products and being in the beauty industry. What a unique experience that you both have to speak on. I'm so happy to see you embraced that while still exploring other fun avenues.

I think with the idea of a murder or missing podcast for once a month. I think it would be cool if you did causes that don’t have much support towards helping find or solve a case Being the people that bring light on cases that need more people aware of and help on

It’s Manny’s Crocs for me!!! I enjoy watching you both.

Okay rare beauty! Selena actually said it herself about the packaging being designed for people like herself with lupus who have pain and struggle to open things, it was on a vogue beauty secrets video if I remember correctly. She’s done a couple with them but in one of the more recent ones she does say specifically she designed them for that reason. It might not be posted anywhere on their website but she did say it lol

The split screen is awful!! But I'm loving the way that everything else is coming togetherness!! 💜

Selena mentioned it’s friendly for people with lupus in one of her videos about the brand!!

I’ve been watching, but wasn’t subscribed. The fact that y’all had the class to keep Gabbie’s name out of your title…I’m subscribed now! The growth you both have made over the years is refreshing! Love and light 🦄💛🌈

another perk of having your podcast on youtube, is captions! i am deaf and love being able to watch the podcast with captions! thank you!!!!

I liiiiiive for Tyler 💗💗💗 he’s the best! We need a mic for Tyler and that both of you can hear him lol 😂

I don’t like the split screen😕 can y’all just back up the camera

Thank you for shining light on ALLL the other people who go missing every year. I love you guys ❤️❤️

I’m so happy it’s happening ! (I hope it doesn’t stay “split-screen”) love seeing y’all sitting at the table talking.

Ty needs a mic, his commentary during trivia was hilarious!

Noo yall Lauren Conrad could have been the OG Kylie Jenner! She had a chockehold on the girls with her winged liner and hairstyles back in The Hills days. Her team failed her big time. Now it's too little too late

I love the idea of once a month coverage of current crime stories....esp lesser known cases or cold cases that are seeking the help of internet sleuths. Or you could start each podcast with a brief current event.

I would like to say, I’m loving this podcast. It’s a perfect recipe. The topics are being covered are being done, by the people I want to hear about it from. It’s like we are behind the scenes in this industry we love. It’s not all rainbows and butterflies. It all feels so honest. It’s stuff I really want to know about. I would not listen to anyone else doing it. That being said. Don’t hate me. I don’t need/want another true crime channel. It’s being done, and over done. Saturated. What your doing now works! It’s a diamond in the rough. You’ve got the golden ticket. You are the Rihanna/Fenty version of beauty podcasts. Stick with it, please!!! 💋 Lastly, I’m also not a fan of the split either, but the background is amazing!!

LC is definitely a beauty icon! Also, Hailey’s brand will be skincare, not makeup :)

I love hearing y’all chat through this stuff. I just wish there was a little more research done beforehand.

Big fan of this podcast. Watched every episode! Keep it going! You guys are doing awesome! I love the wallpaper. It's gorgeous! I do agree with others that are commenting about going back to full screen. I like that better but the split screen would not effect me wanting to watch. I still enjoy you 2 either way.

I DIED when Manny said “okay US and Germany” when talking about the axis powers, Wrong side boo✋🏼😂

Personally not a fan of the split screen or the wall paper but the set up is coming together slowly 😬 love the content as usual 😍

I love this podcast. You guys are hilarious and I look forward to many more to come ! (: great job guys !! 💕

Love the podcast, the upgrade, the space, the conversation… the only thing that’s missing is you 2 being in the same frame!!! 🥺 I appreciate the different style, but love both of you side by side best. Seeing that there’s a few of us that feel the same way, and since you’ve been taking requests and constructive critique…. That would be the only thing! Otherwise, WORK, I love you both and this podcast! ♥️

I was moved to tears with gratitude that you mentioned missing indigenous women ~~ to think of all the centuries of white America hunting and neglecting these communities is maddening and it terrifying how few resources are extended to help these women ~~~ way to weave in reality and important messages of social corruption

The new set up is coming along great! I prefer when you're in the same frame but I like it. I love that you guys are honest while being civil. No need to bash anyone but also it's great getting the real deal! Huge fan of the podcast xoxo

First of all, I’m obsessed with this podcast and I’m so glad you guys did this!! The split screen is throwing me off a little bit, I personally think having you both in one frame is better if that makes sense. Also I would loooooove to hear more about Dr Death and all this true crime stuff you guys were talking about, Laura got me intrigued 👀❤️

Since the KVD “rebranding” my work has had 100s of the tattoo liner returned for being completely dried out

Okay the fact that you guys brought up the 700+ indigenous people who’ve gone missing is amazing! It’s great to see big named influencers bringing more awareness! You guys are awesome! ❤️

Lmfaooo when Laura said “why would he ever read that to me” about the axis powers question 🤣🤣💀💀💀

“The math aint mathin” 😂😂😂 Manny is so funny!’

I agreed with everything you guys said about celebrity brands BUTTTTT Lauren Conrad was soooo known for her make up!! That winged liner in the laguna/the hills era was Everythingggg back then

Yes! you should revisit cold cases that would be helpful and just captivating. True Crime fan over here and you would announce upcoming cold case as an assignment to try to talk about/solve and gather info's from your viewers as well and talk about it on your podcast.

I love you both but I have to respectfully disagree with your thoughts on lc beauty. Lauren Conrad is known for her beauty looks. When she was the it girl (during the hills time) she popularized the wing and the long beachy waves and and overall natural approach to beauty. Everyone in high school copied all of her looks whether it was from hair to make up or style. I was one of them.She is a little older now and has taken the time to create a brand for women like her that want a natural approach to makeup all while being environmentally friendly with the packaging. Yes I agree the shade range is not great but that’s something the brand can work on. She is catering to a certain kind of person; and I think especially now that more natural makeup is in she’s doing a great job 👏

Hi my babies! Sending you both love! Fool Coverage has easily become my favorite pod. I could listen to you two kiki all day.💞💞😘😘

So SO glad you mentioned Flower Beauty! I love Drew Barrymore and I think she’s in it 100% and loves what she puts out. She’s the best and I’m glad to see her get some recognition! ❤️

Lauren IS known for her eyeliner. she went from laguna beach to the hills and was making her signature winged eyeliner a thing, she had a collab with MALLY (avon) back when the who was in production and thats why her eyeliner is one of her biggest sellers from her line.

“Maybe for teens-“ “Erin hates it.” 😭😭😭💀

Not Manny’s crocks bouncing around 😂 love you guys!🖤

“Erin hates it” 😂😂blunt and right to the point lol I appreciate that

I agree with other comments that don’t enjoy the split screen... I think the wallpaper is fun and overall it’s so much nicer than the previous set up. I feel like this podcast should have the vibe of 2 friends hanging out on a couch and chatting and the split screen takes that away for me. I watched every episode so far and the content is great, keep it up! 💛

Gabby Petito didn’t have a large following on Instagram until this story popped off. Thoughts and prayers with her family.

Omg love this and your podcast in general and would love crime/horror podcasts once a month🤭maybe it can be like a category every week😯also i personally would love to see you guys in the same frame instead of it being two separate shots of you guys! Love you guys!!💜

Lmao Laura is me. When my husband asks questions I think it's homework and I get so mad.

These last two episodes have been SO good (and you know I’ve been critical). I feel like you’re finally getting comfortable! I also appreciate Laura clearly putting work in to make this so listenable by remembering it’s not all visual and setting up the conversation to make sure you’re almost defining things for people who might not know everything. Easily becoming one of my favorites!! Keep up the great work.

I love you both so much! You can't make everyone happy tho ....there is always going to be something that some people aren't going to like. I do appreciate tho how you both try so hard to please everyone tho even tho it's just not possible. I think yall are doing freaking awesome considering yall literally just started

i love love love seeing you guys in this more relaxed environment😍😍

Yes please for the influencer edition 😍😍😍 i rarely listen to podcast but yours are so entertaining, such a good flowing conversation. Loving how far you guys come after the whole dramacanceledon 👌❤

I am obsessed with anything true crime. I would love to see episodes specified to true crime from y’all! That would be so phenomenal! ❤️❤️ also this Gabby Petito case is so freaking twisted and sad how many things went wrong to end up where we are now.

Laura trying to do trivia is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. 😂

Obsessed with this podcast. I would love to see you guys together in the frame and then mix in individual shots. I love that. Also I feel like this wallpaper is too busy for a background. I found myself constantly looking at it instead of you guys. Not to mention I think it’s so off style for you two- color and design. Regardless, I love you guys and I will watch every single time lol m

Love the podcast and so glad you talked about the Gabby Petito case, it's absolutely insane. You guys should definitely talk about current topics, makes me feel like I'm listening to a friend ☺️

Did they know that we could hear Tyler? Lol next time both go with the head sets. It’s coming together really nicely!! Love the two of you together!! 💕

This was so informative! I didn’t know a lot about these brands. Loved this episode!

I love the podcast ❤️ not going to lie! I watch the RU-vid video first then later or another day I’ll listen to it on Spotify 🙈👌🏻 y’all crack me up so hard!!… ok when Laura ask for no more war questions I literally spit out my water how hard I started to laugh 😂😂😂

Lol the trivia had me rolling 🤣 hexagon guys 😅😂

This is SUCH a good podcast. I bet the other beauty gurus are kicking themselves they didn’t jump on starting a podcast like this first! You guys are so natural together and all the topics have been interesting. You are “spilling the tea” but without it coming from a mean girl drama perspective. Love it!

I LITERALLY am so damn happy when I see a new episode. Y’all have NO idea. I’m LIVING for this podcast. Every episode has been 🔥 literally love you both ‼️‼️‼️

I am currently sobbing and I want to thank you both so much for speaking about indigenous lives on your platforms. I love you both so much 💛

Rare beauty foundation completely breaks me out.. definitely the applicator and formula combined. The blushes though.. phenomenal😍

Drew Barrymore's production company is also called Flower, Flower Films. She runs it with long time friend Nancy Juvonen. Nancy is married to Jimmy Fallon. :) And yes Drew is completely invested and hands on with the makeup line... I love that. It's gone beyond being just available at Wal Mart, too.... many CVS/pharmacy stores as well as Ulta carry the brand! I love the liquid blush and the ph balanced color changing lip gloss. All the products I've tried have been really good.

At the most basic level, all businesses exist to make a profit. In that sense, all cosmetics companies are a cash grab.

When Manny says USA and Germany were on the same side in WW2…nooo baby noooo hahahah

‘A little...*dirty laundrie*’ ahahahaha the situation is horrible but that was hilarious

Laura being annoyed with the trivia questions would of literally been me 😂😂 like what 😂 hahahaha

I don’t own anything from Victoria Beckham beauty but I love her line. I don’t care for the “clean” marketing but it gets good reviews and I’m just a sucker for luxe makeup and packaging. It’s all about the experience and aesthetic for me as well as quality. Also LC is absolutely synonymous with makeup (or at least she was; eyeliner/mascara/nude or red lip)…if anything she was too late to the game!
