  • We HATE To See Beauty Brands Doing These Things!

    We HATE To See Beauty Brands Doing These Things!
    Mar 9 2026
    We're back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James and Robert are getting petty about the weird, annoying and downright questionable things beauty brands do that make them NOT want to buy their products! After opening with their obsession with limited-edition K-beauty packaging (Pokémon Pikachu Sunscreen, anyone?) - and a particularly conflicting episode of Influencer Fact or Fiction - the twins unleash their brutally honest pet peeves. From brands constantly bragging about making millions while underpaying staff, awkward email marketing that feels too personal (or not personal enough), and brands that just can't read the room. The twins discuss why indie brands celebrating their millionth million gets old fast, influencer partnerships that feel misplaced, and why sometimes the smallest brand missteps can turn you off forever. If you've ever refused to buy from a brand for a petty reason, this episode is for you!

  • Everything K-Beauty Gets Right (And Western Beauty Gets WRONG)

    Everything K-Beauty Gets Right (And Western Beauty Gets WRONG)
    Mar 2 2026
    James and Robert are known for their obsession with K-Beauty! On this episode of The Double Cleanse, the twins are diving into everything that K-beauty is getting right – and why they’re worried that Western influence might ruin it. To the expertly crafted brand philosophies, to the product innovations that are genius, James and Robert are highlighting just why K-beauty is so addictive. But, they’re also not holding back: calling out the brands that are starting to pander to Western audiences and TikTok trends instead of sticking to what they do best. From celebrity endorsements like “Kylie Jenner’s top picks” and why Cardi B promoting a cream feels so out of place in this space, the twins are spilling all about the things that they think K-beauty needs to STOP doing in an attempt to become Westernised. Along the way, they share their genuine K-beauty favourites, from Charlotte Tilbury's plumping lip balm (yes, it's technically Western but bear with them) to the incredible variety of makeup sponges available at Olive Young that will change your entire application game. The message is clear: K-beauty does everything right – the marketing, the imagery, the products – so please don't mess with perfection!

  • Do Better! Our Least Loved Beauty Brands

    Do Better! Our Least Loved Beauty Brands
    Feb 23 2026
    Sometimes beauty brands just can't seem to get it right... and on this episode of The Double Cleanse, James & Robert are sharing their brutally honest takes on the beauty brands hey have complicated relationships with. In our Fact Or Fiction segment, the twins discuss a horrifying tale about viral skincare gone wrong. When a woman tried one of those trendy overnight peel-off collagen masks, she woke up with wrinkles that wouldn't disappear – and two months later, she needed filler to fix the damage. Is it fact or fiction? The answer might shock you! James & Robert are calling out luxury fashion houses for selling eyeshadow palettes in cheap plastic packaging, questioning why luxury nail polish is so terrible and... which brand needs to update their packaging? You don't have to love everything a brand puts out, and you're allowed to be picky with your beauty purchases.

  • Why Are We Obsessed With Going Viral?!

    Why Are We Obsessed With Going Viral?!
    Feb 16 2026
    Is chasing fame the worst career move you could make? James & Robert are here with another episode of The Double Cleanse, this week all about social media virality! After diving into their hotel nightmare (complete with invisible people and conjoining rooms…), the Welsh Twins are breaking down the harsh reality behind those millions of views from the fleeting nature of internet fame to the questionable ways people engineer their viral moments. James and Robert get brutally honest about how "going viral" has lost all meaning in 2025, the impact of the internet’s ever-shortening attention span, and how viral success rarely translates into sustainable careers or genuine connections with audiences. They discuss the psychology behind our obsession with viral content, the dark side of internet fame and why they actively avoid going viral themselves (yes, really). If you've ever dreamed of your 15 minutes of TikTok fame or wondered if viral success is worth the price, this episode is your reality check.

  • Looking For The Most Overhyped Beauty Products? These Are The Worst!

    Looking For The Most Overhyped Beauty Products? These Are The Worst!
    Feb 9 2026
    The Welsh Twins are back with another episode of The Double Cleanse, and this week James and Robert are throwing shade at the beauty products everyone loves to hype! Starting off with a debate about American vs British customer service culture (including a shop that has a quota for its staff members touching customers!), we're then diving into the most overhyped, under-delivering beauty products ever. From the cult-favourite Tarte Shape Tape concealer that Robert describes as "liquidated clay" to Caudalie's Beauty Elixir, which James lovingly calls "overpriced mouthwash in a bottle". The twins aren't holding back as they dissect why these viral sensations might not deserve all the praise! They're discussing everything from questionable brand ethics to ingredients that have no business being on your face. Plus, they're calling out Charlotte Tilbury's Magic Cream for making you stick to your bed sheets! If you love the products they're roasting, don't worry – they still love you. But get ready for some brutal honesty and a reminder that hype doesn't always equal quality.

  • Is Skincare Actually Ruining Your Skin?

    Is Skincare Actually Ruining Your Skin?
    Feb 2 2026
    Have we just uncovered one of the biggest beauty scams? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving into the great skincare paradox! After Robert admitted to finally seeing through a skincare routine (and getting the benefits from it!) in last weeks episode, we're now looking at the other skin. James and Robert explore why your skin barrier is begging you to chill out, how overcomplicated routines can backfire spectacularly and the psychological trap of thinking you need 47 steps to look decent. They also discuss the rise of "skinfluencers" pushing excessive routines and how the industry profits from making you feel like your face is constantly broken. From chemical burns disguised as "purging" to the satisfying simplicity of a three-step routine, James and Robert share their brutally honest takes on when skincare becomes self-sabotage. It's a reality check for product hoarders everywhere!

    Is The Internet Getting Meaner? And, Does Hate Guarantee You Viral Success?
    Jan 26 2026
    The internet is full of hate messages... but, can you turn hate into success on social media? On this episode of The Double Cleanse, James and Robert are diving deep into online negativity! Are internet users just getting meaner? James and Robert dive into why TikTok comments feel more vicious than traditional YouTube hate, the rise of "rage baiting" as a hobby and how the algorithm encourages negativity for engagement (you too, can turn a hate comment into viral content!). They discuss the difference between valid criticism and just being an ass and the glorious satisfaction of publicly embarrassing commenters who leave hate with their full name and Bible quotes in their bio. From serial commenters to performative cruelty, nothing is off limits.
