We have some catching up to do on the SXSW front! In today\\u2019s episode we take you through the ins and outs of the House of Modern Beauty hosted by RealSelf, including the #glowdown on which cosmetic treatments were offered absolutely free (you\\u2019ll want a ticket next year, trust.) You\\u2019ll also find out which beauty activation had us jotting down a shopping list to try to re-create the Victoria\\u2019s Secret-inspired look ourselves. And, Jill let\\u2019s you know everything about Miraval\\u2019s newest luxury outpost in Austin, where she recuperated from a late-night out with a celebrity facialist befriended at SXSW (what??!!)

Up next, we\\u2019re talking Glossier Play\\u2014 just in time for the news that the \\u201cunicorn\\u201d brand now has a $1.2 billion dollar valuation with new funding led by Sequoia Capital. (Wanna re-acquaint yourself with how Emily Weiss started it all? Have a listen to the founder herself in Episode 11.) \\xa0But is the new foray into hardcore cosmetics all it\\u2019s cracked up to be? We talk controversy and how to fix a PR problem fast.

The Toronto-based influencer also shares which skincare line is topping his #topshelf, what it was like to star in the Glossier Play campaign\\u2013 and naturally, some words of encouragement for his growing tribe.
