    Nov 13 2024

    It’s a rare occasion – we have a returning guest, and it’s a good one! Susan Yara joins us for the second time (first time in person!) and we cover a lot of ground: her new podcast My Life Online with Susan Yara, how her life has changed since e.l.f. acquired Naturium in 2023, and her new single status. Plus, she gives her $0.02 on several beauty headlines, from tablet beauty to Pat McGrath’s product strategy and the 40+ makeup movement. She also shares more about Naturium’s latest launch: a rich moisturizer that rivals more expensive options.
