Hello! We are back for a good time, not a long time. We are here to celebrate our 3rd podcast anniversary! We couldn’t let this date pass by without acknowledging 3 years of Beautea Time (even if we haven’t had an episode for 9 months our third year) We introduce you to a very special guest, explain where we’ve been, what products we’ve seen that we really wanted to discuss with you ( like the wing flavored lip glosses, and ketchup collabs that no one asked for), spiral into mandala effects and of course we had to add our 2 cents on the viral demi/permanent toning drama from Tik Tok! We’ve missed you, but we aren’t back for good just yet. Look out for us around Christmas though, for our annual “Weird Gifts” episode.  In the meantime check out the following link, our collab on YouTube with the channel Basement Universe. We have 8 react videos with them if you missed it.

Your favorite foods, clothing brands, musical artists, shows, childhood games, bakers and more, team up with big name beauty brands to bring you themed make up collections, shaving lotions, deodorants and products. Some of these we don't think anyone wanted or asked for, but you be the judge of that.  You dont want to miss this episode, you would be shocked at what brands decided to collab, many are not related to the beauty realm, at all! You also dont wanna miss which large chain fast food resturant decided to sell their own signature burger scented perfume. Yes, we were very confused too. Our list of collabs are as follows, some are present some are past, but worth a mention nonetheless.
