The Questions People Usually Ask
Is the Newsletter Free?
Yes. Joining is free, and you can unsubscribe whenever you like.
How Often Will I Hear From You?
One main newsletter each month. We would rather send one email with something to say than turn up every second day because a marketing calendar told us to.
Is It Only About Skincare?
No. Beauty is our starting point, but we also cover work and culture – skincare, makeup, fragrance, hair, the industry itself, and stories from women and creatives.
Are Your Recommendations Independent?
Yes. A gifted product does not buy a review or guarantee coverage. Paid partnerships are clearly disclosed, and some links may earn us a commission that helps pay our writers.
Can I Reply to the Newsletter?
Yes, please. Hit reply and tell us what you liked or what you want us to look into next. Reader questions help us decide what deserves a proper investigation.
Will You Sell My Information?
No. We use your details to send the newsletter and manage your subscription, and we do not sell them to unrelated brands. Read our privacy policy.
Can I Unsubscribe?
Yes. Every edition includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. No awkward goodbye email required.
Do I Need Substack to Subscribe?
No. Substack handles delivery, but you do not need the app or an existing account. Enter your email and each edition arrives in your inbox.
