The Double Cleanse

We HATE To See Beauty Brands Doing These Things!

The Double Cleanse

Show Notes

We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James and Robert are getting petty about the weird, annoying and downright questionable things beauty brands do that make them NOT want to buy their products!

After opening with their obsession with limited-edition K-beauty packaging (Pokémon Pikachu Sunscreen, anyone?) - and a particularly conflicting episode of Influencer Fact or Fiction - the twins unleash their brutally honest pet peeves.

From brands constantly bragging about making millions while underpaying staff, awkward email marketing that feels too personal (or not personal enough), and brands that just can't read the room.

The twins discuss why indie brands celebrating their millionth million gets old fast, influencer partnerships that feel misplaced, and why sometimes the smallest brand missteps can turn you off forever.

If you've ever refused to buy from a brand for a petty reason, this episode is for you!
