SheerLuxe Team Podcast

Do your lips deserve their own skincare routine?

Hodge, Alex Steinherr and Jenn come together for a live SheerLuxe Podcast and conversation that moves from everything they’re loving right now to skincare, pop culture and your dilemmas.

First up, the team swaps recommendations and catches up on what’s been keeping them entertained. Then they’re joined by Rita Silva, director of scientific communications at The Ordinary, to talk about the brand’s new lip treatment and the thinking behind its formula. Alex and Jenn share their skincare non-negotiables, discuss why lip care matters and talk through their own everyday routines.

Next, the hosts tackle the questions you sent in: would you date a friend’s ex and what would you do if your flatmate was using your expensive moisturiser? Plus, we take a look at what everyone’s wearing…

How much of your life do you share online if you’ve grown up on reality TV?

Sapna and Polly are joined by Sophie Habboo, the face of Max Factor’s new Facefinity Lasting Blur Foundation, for a catch-up that runs from restaurants you need to try to the realities of motherhood.

First up, the team shares what they’re loving right now, from a vibey new restaurant to the foundation Sophie says has become her go-to. The chat then turns to TV, as they unpack ‘MobLand’, swap opinions on Pierce Brosnan’s Irish accent and hear about a behind-the-scenes set visit where Polly interviewed Vinnie Jones. Sophie also talks about filming life at home and reuniting with the ‘Made in Chelsea’ producers on ‘Raising Chelsea’.

Next, an article on household chores sparks a candid conversation about how Sophie and Jamie have divided the jobs since baby Ziggy arrived and a TikTok trend raises the big question of what we all pretend to like, from hen dos to drinks. Then comes a chat about blurring the lines, from setting boundaries when you share your life online to juggling it all.

Finally, the hosts settle the dilemmas, from whether an emoji is a rude reply to a serious voice note to the fork-holding ick that has one listener questioning a date. And of course, we take a look at what everyone’s wearing…

Kelly Clarkson’s feud with a Brooklyn concept store, Tobey Maguire officiating his ex-wife’s wedding and paying an Etsy witch for a money spell – it’s all being discussed on this week’s SheerLuxe Podcast.

Host Billie Bhatia is joined by Josh Smith and Lucia Hawley to unpack the biggest cultural moments, share their new-season shopping lists and answer a few dilemmas along the way.

We run through the culture worth leaving the house for. There are two new exhibitions to add to your list: The V&A’s ‘The Burberry Trench: Crafting an Icon’ and Tim Walker’s ‘Fairyland’ at the National Portrait Gallery. Then there’s the book Josh can’t stop reading, Charles Spencer’s ‘Swan Song’, which already has strangers on the tube sharing their theories. We also discuss the new legal drama, Sky’s ‘War’, which will have you hooked.

Next, the team gets into the latest celebrity news, including Kelly Clarkson’s Art of Play drama and the story of Michael Jordan’s wife flying in a different class to her friends, plus a very honest debate about whether you could ever officiate your ex’s wedding like Tobey Maguire. Josh also reports back on whether his Etsy money spell has delivered anything yet.

Of course, the three also share their autumn shopping picks and finish with a full ‘fit check, so you can see exactly what everyone’s wearing.

Imagine borrowing a dress for one night and finding yourself on the front of every newspaper the next morning. This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Charlotte Collins is joined by Alex Steinherr and Elizabeth Hurley for a conversation that covers iconic looks, fame and a cause close to Elizabeth’s heart.

First, Elizabeth explains why digging her old couture out of the attic has brought her so much joy. That leads to the Versace safety pin dress, which went straight back the next day and has since made it into the Met and the V&A. She also looks back on what it was like to go viral before social media existed. Then, Charlotte reports back from three nights on the Belmond Royal Scotsman, a sleeper train through the Scottish Highlands that turned out to be far more of a party than she expected. Alex also makes her case for Elizabeth joining ‘Celebrity Traitors’ – but will she be tempted?

Elizabeth is also the global ambassador for the Estée Lauder Companies’ Breast Cancer Campaign, so the team discuss the new focus on breast cancer in young women, why checking your breasts matters and that mammograms aren’t painful. Of course, there’s plenty of beauty talk too, including a skincare tip Elizabeth picked up from screen legend Joan Collins.

AD | Sapna is joined by Polly and Lucia for a travel special in partnership with the British Airways American Express(r) Premium Plus Card, covering everything from long-haul holiday planning and airport style to in-flight routines and bucket-list destinations.

Imagine turning up to a Monday-night beauty event only for Beyoncé to walk out on stage… This week on the SheerLuxe Podcast, Nana is joined by Lucia and Alex for an episode covering the celebrity moments, beauty treatments, dilemmas and hot takes everyone’s talking about.

Nana reveals what really happened when Beyoncé made a surprise appearance at the UK launch of Cécred – while Alex shares the incredibly sweet story of interviewing her earlier in her career. Plus, the team gets into the backlash surrounding Taylor Swift and asks why hugely successful women can seemingly go from untouchable to internet punching bag overnight.

Elsewhere, Alex gives her verdict on the expensive beauty treatment generating serious buzz, Lucia explains why Sunday-night plans should be illegal and the team tackles your dilemmas – from sleeping in separate bedrooms to dating your best friend’s brother. Plus, autumn fashion, Gossip Girl nostalgia and plenty more recommendations along the way.
