Description:
In today’s episode, I’m giving you a behind-the-scenes look at how the Flaawsome Collab was born — from a viral Blake Lively moment… to a 6-week product sell out… to a beauty mission with heart.
You’ll hear how celebrity reporter Kjersti Flaa (aka the “Hollywood Truth Teller in a town built on delusion”) first interviewed me on her show — and what happened when I shared my Beauty Ammo Kit at the end of the episode. My products went viral… and I saw firsthand the level of trust her audience has with her.
Now we’re teaming up to launch The Flaawsome Finish Kit — a one-minute glow set built from real Hollywood experience AND real-world results… AND we’re donating a portion of sales to domestic violence survivors — something that was noticeably missing in the It Ends With Us movie campaign.
This isn’t just a collab.
It’s beauty with a mission.
It’s makeup that empowers.
It’s integrity over influence.
We talk:
• Why makeup isn’t shallow — it can heal and restore confidence
• The Blake Lively story that sparked a worldwide conversation
• The one-minute makeup method that sold out at my country club events
• Why we’re using beauty to support DV survivors—when Hollywood didn’t
• The first sneak peek at our December mini-masterclass launch
Get ready — the Flaawsome Finish Formula is coming. 💄✨
I had just barely walked onto set when the countdown began:
5 … 4 … 3 … 2 … 1 …
And then — we were live.
The host launched into her bubbly intro:
“Today we’re welcoming celebrity makeup artist MB York with her Hollywood’s Secret Weapon — the Beauty Ammo Kit…”
Celebrity images flashed across the screen as she turned to me…
And before I could even speak, I heard a voice screaming through my earpiece:
“MOVE LEFT! CAMERA ZOOMING! HOLD PRODUCT HIGHER! MODEL READY IN 20!”
That was my first moment on national television — and I knew I was one breath away from becoming either a success story… or a cautionary tale.
In this episode you will learn:
-how the Beauty Ammo Kit caught the attention of the HSN buying team
-the rules they give you… and what actually happens once the cameras roll
-the “official rules”… versus what you really need to know to protect your brand
– the unseen factors that affect your outcome — and most creators never see them coming
– what happens when your best work still has to survive live TV

From Henri Bendel to Harrods, MB York pulls back the curtain on the flawed premise of the beauty counter — where domination masquerades as success. Through glamour, exhaustion, and revelation, she shares how true breakthrough comes not from competing, but from calling — and why her once-Hollywood “Survival of the Prettiest” story may still have its blockbuster moment.
In this sharp, funny, and all-too-real episode, MB York pulls back the curtain on what she calls the great decline of customer service. From a lash tech who showed up in pajamas and gave her a lecture, to a dry-cleaner who tried to gaslight her over ruined blankets, to a “Christian” private-label company that actually banned her for being too direct — she’s seen it all.
With decades of experience as a beauty CEO, esthetician, and brand founder, MB shares what’s gone wrong in the service world — and how we can bring back excellence, humility, and accountability without losing our minds in the process.
If you’ve ever dealt with flaky service, fake apologies, or faith-based hypocrisy in business, this episode will have you nodding, laughing, and shouting “finally someone said it!”
In this follow-up to last week’s episode, MB takes you back inside The Little Chapel — a hidden pocket of heaven in Paradise Valley where miracles still happen. From the moment she saw the “Happy Jesus” license plate to sitting in the thick presence of God as healings unfolded before her eyes, every detail points to divine orchestration.
You’ll hear what it was like to witness real-time healing, meet the women behind Childhelp, and see how faith and expectation collide in the most beautiful ways. MB also shares how God showed up in her own week — through signs, timing, and even her dog Daisy’s sudden turnaround.
If you’ve ever wondered whether miracles still happen, this episode will remind you: heaven is closer than you think.

From Lab to Lipstick — The Real Cost of Doing It Right
Ever wonder what really goes on behind the scenes of a boutique beauty brand? In this tell-all episode, MB gets real about the highs, lows, and hard truths of running an independent skincare and makeup line without selling out.
From web crashes and supplier delays to ingredient sourcing and impossible lab minimums, she shares the unfiltered reality of what it costs—financially and emotionally—to keep her products clean, high-performing, and cruelty-free.
You’ll hear why she chooses boutique over big-box, integrity over expansion, and purpose over profit. MB also breaks down how her formulas rival luxury brands like La Mer—without the chemicals, preservatives, or $385 price tag—and why loyalty and transparency mean everything to her.
This episode is a thank-you to everyone who’s stuck by her through the glitches, the growth, and the glow-up. Boutique doesn’t mean small—it means intentional.
This one started with a mask and a mindset. I’ve been stacking my red light therapy with a 10–15 minute morning devotional—nothing fancy, just consistency and intention. Then the week happened: a spontaneous invite to speak to a college business class (and judge their “Shark Tank” projects), a full-circle memory from my salon days, and a jaw-dropping introduction to a woman whose work has changed millions of lives—and who personally invited me into a very special service at “the Little Chapel.”
I walk you through the rhythm that set the tone (yes, the Zutta mask), the serendipities that followed, and why small daily choices can open doors we didn’t even knock on. No spoilers—next week I’ll take you inside what I witnessed at the service.
If you’ve been craving a reset—skin, spirit, and direction—this episode is your gentle nudge: sit in the light, set your intention, and watch what unfolds.
What You’ll Hear
- The 15-minute ritual that changed my week (and how to stack intention with skincare)

- A providential introduction to a legacy healer—and an invite I couldn’t have engineered
- A simple prayer/declaration to close your week strong
