Vain-ish

LiSTNR

Bec Judd and Jess Roberts are done with the smoke and mirrors and want you to know what it actually takes to look this good with their new LiSTNR podcast, Vain-ish. Together, Bec and Jess are pulling back the curtain on the beauty routines, wellness trends, and behind-the-scenes treatments that often get glossed over on Instagram – and they’re not holding anything back.

Each episode delves into a new corner of beauty culture with experts, doctors and celeb guests weighing in too. It's endless laughs, and zero filler (okay, some filler), so are you ready to get just a little Vain-ish?
