The Emma Guns Show

If you love beauty and you enjoy podcasts then Fat Mascara (@fatmascara) is the place for you. Hosted by Jenn Goldstein and Jess Matlin, both New York based magazine beauty directors, it's a jam-packed resource for all things beauty with great guests, product reviews and two incredibly charismatic hosts. In this 'cross-pod' we discuss the beauty industry, the role social media plays in it, the products we really don't get on with and a lot more.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

In this episode I'm joined by Dr Tracy Mountford of The Cosmetic Skin Clinic (@the_cosmetic_skin_clinic) to talk about my first ever cosmetic procedure. It's taken me more than 15 years of working in beauty to do anything more than a facial, blow-dry or massage and in this episode I explain why the fear-factor stopped me and how I overcame it, and whether I'm now considering more...As well as my experience though, which is obviously very subjective, I wanted to get an expert opinion on cosmetic procedures, which is why I asked Dr Tracy Mountford to join me on the show. She has over 25 years experience in practice and I asked her the kind of things to ask, what you're likely to experience and what different injectables can do for you.To find your nearest CoolSculpting clinic visit Find a CoolSculpting Treatment To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!

This episode is sponsored by Tangle Teezer and Fine and Fragile, their detangling hair brush that’s been proven to cause 5x less breakage on fine, fragile and colour-treated hair. In this episode of the podcast I'm joined by trichologist Iain Sallis (@hairmedic_uk) for a 'hair clinic' where I quiz him about the different types of hair loss and hair thinning. It's not an easy subject to untangle (excuse the pun) but Iain breaks down the causes, the solutions and a lot more besides... If you have suffered or suffer with fine, thinning hair or hair loss issues - as I have - then I hope you find this episode as reassuring and comforting as I did.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.To email me [email protected]!

In this bonus episode I answer one of the questions I get the most on email, social media and in person and that's 'what's your favourite beauty product?' And, in order to make it fair, it's a Top 10 covering skincare, makeup and gadgets. All of this is in my humble opinion and, I hope it goes without saying, that this episode was not produced in conjunction with the brands involved. I have not been paid to mention these products, although Elizabeth Arden did sponsor the episode with Dr Dendy Engelman back in September. These are my independent thoughts and feelings having used the products, although as a beauty journalist I am sent some of the product featured without charge.First up, my go-to hydrating skincare: Clinique Moisture Surge Supercharged Hydrating Concentrate I started using retinol just before my 40th birthday last year.

We've journaled on this #26habits journey, but as the year hurtles to its end it feels as though my stress levels are rising and that a little perspective is in order, which is why this 23rd habit will be all about expressing gratitude.There are so many known benefits to being, expressing and feeling grateful so let's see if it can serve to reset stress levels, temper frustrations and reduce that icky feeling that turns into a raised voice or muttered insult.3 Good ThingsHappyfeedTo join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.For the entire #26habits back catalogue visit The Pool.Hey!

In habit #8 I attempted to try the ketogenic diet, but fell at the first hurdle and didn't even make it into ketosis. What went wrong? Looking back I think it was lots of overthinking, but very little preparation and planning so in my second run at the ketogenic diet I'm focusing on the process of getting into ketosis rather than racing to the bit when I'm actually in it.Please seek medical advice before undertaking any new diet or fitness regHey!

My guest in this episode is Beck Dorey-Stein, author of the coming of age memoir From the Corner of the Oval, which documents her five years working as one of President Obama's three stenographers. From flying on Air Force One to being trash-talked by the Commander-in-Chief it all started with an ad on Craig's List, would you believe. Love stories, broken hearts, female friendships and growing up in the shadow of The White House, I was gripped by Beck's writing and loved chatting to her about how it all came together.From the Corner of the Oval at Waterstones.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Hey!
