About this episode
This week we’re delivering the damn good story behind one of beauty’s biggest innovations, The Original Makeup Eraser! Accidental inventor Lexi McCarthy dishes the dirt on the O.G. reusable polyester cloth that broke the beautysphere by removing all traces of makeup with get this - no cleanser or chemicals whatsoever.
You’ll hear all about how busy mom of four Elexis McCarthy (aka Lexi) discovered her sustainable beauty invention that’s sold over 5 million units since it launched at a Bridal Show back in 2013. (Just one Makeup Eraser is equivalent to 3,600 disposable makeup wipes, and lasts for up to five years.)
We find out just how the heck this magical cloth *actually* works to remove even waterproof makeup; the reason Demi Moore claimed it saved her hyper-sensitive skin in a recent (unpaid) get-unready-with-me video; plus, major scoop on the brand’s next innovation - something *so big* Sephora is calling it just as “disruptive” as the original game-changing cloth.
