Ever wondered how a lash technician becomes a luxury beauty founder with an award-winning product line? In this episode of PR LIKE A BOSS!, Patz is joined by Elizabeth Chandler, founder of BONDED lashes, the innovative brand behind pre-bonded, no-glue lashes that have taken the beauty world by storm.

With over 15 years of experience (including time as the resident lash artist at London’s W Hotel), Elizabeth shares how a sticky situation (literally – lash glue!) inspired her to create a product that’s mess-free, damage-free and confidence-boosting. A Japanese lash tech breakthrough sealed the deal… and BONDED lashes was born.

We talk:

• How to break through in a saturated beauty market
• PR strategies that actually worked
• Winning the Who What Wear Award
• The power of press, partnerships, and persistence
• The beauty of getting your story (and your samples!) in the right hands

Plus, Elizabeth dishes out her top 3 PR tips for beauty founders and joins me for a super fun Lash Lightning Round.

• Who What Wear Awards
• Milk PR
• Nadine Baggott & Jo Jones (Beauty Hags)
• Ruth Langsford
• Emma Grede

In this episode of PR LIKE A BOSS!, host Patz sits down with the radiant Really Ree, to chat all things beauty, business and building a brand with purpose. From reviewing products to formulating her own, Ree shares how her passion for glowing skin and no-fuss makeup led to the launch of her very own brand, REESON Beauty.

She opens up about:

• Why she created makeup for women who want to be seen, at any age.
• The reality of funding your own brand (spoiler: it’s pricey).
• How lockdown and her management team, River, gave her the final nudge.
• What makes her Bronzing Balm so unique (and why she had to review it herself).
• Her not-so-secret wish to bring back highlighter in a big way.

Plus, we play Ree’s Faves and Fails, where she reveals the beauty buys that wowed her and the ones that fell a little flat.

If you’ve ever dreamed of launching your own beauty brand, this episode is for you. It’s full of laughs, lessons and a whole lot of love for glowing skin and fearless ambition.

🛍️ Brands & People Mentioned:

• River Talent: Ree’s incredible management team (her original hype squad)
• Victoria Beckham Beauty: Her surprise fragrance obsession
• Dyson Airwrap: The hair tool she does love
