In this bonus episode of the Glow Journal podcast, I (Gemma Watts, your regular host) am getting candid about the state of the beauty industry. We’re eleven episodes in and, up until this point, I’ve managed to remain as objective as possible and have made a concerted effort not to insert myself into the interviews- however, following last week’s episode with Fluff founder Erika Geraerts, the tables were turned and I found myself on the receiving end of Erika’s question list. I strongly recommend listening to Erika’s episode before delving into this one as not only will it provide some much needed context for this chat, Eri has a LOT of really important things to say. Up until publishing this episode, I wasn’t too sure what I would do with this audio as I’ve never wanted the podcast to become about me- but here it is. In this episode, I chat to Eri about the process I go through when reviewing products as a beauty writer, pretty much everything that I think is wrong with social media, the ethical dilemmas I grapple with daily and the specific message I want people to take from what I publish. You can follow me on Instagram at @gemkwatts and @glow.journal, stay up to date by visiting glowjournal.com, or get in touch at hello@gemkwatts.com  Hosted on Acast.
