EP 56: Marianna Hewitt & Lauren Ireland | The Summer Fridays Founders On Mixing Business And Friendship

Today’s guests, Marianna Hewitt and Lauren Ireland, are the duo behind the skincare line Summer Fridays. Launching in 2018, the brand quickly filled a gap in the market that we didn’t even know existed and it all started with one iconic product: the Jet Lag Mask. Renowned for its chic packaging and second-to-none formulas, the brand counts Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kim Kardashian West and Jen Atkin as firm fans. In today’s episode, Eleanor Pendleton (founder & editor-in-chief) and Danielle Gay (beauty director & executive editor) speak to the duo about mixing business and friendship, the joys of managing their own team and how they managed to crack the successful beauty brand code.PRODUCTS MENTIONED:Summer Fridays Super Amino Gel Cleanser, $54 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/super-amino-gel-cleanser/I-042775.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Summer Fridays CC Me Serum, $91 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/cc-me-serum/I-039008.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Summer Fridays Cloud Dew Oil-Free Gel Cream, $60 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/cloud-dew-oil-free-gel-cream/I-048186.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Mecca Cosmetica To Save Face SPF50+ Superscreen, $42 [https://www.mecca.com.au/mecca-cosmetica/to-save-face-spf50-superscreen-oxybenzone-free-formula-75g/I-041627.html]Summer Fridays Soft Reset AHA Exfoliating Solution, $77 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/soft-reset-aha-exfoliating-solution/I-045102.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask, $68 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/jet-lag-mask/V-050675.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm, $31 [https://www.mecca.com.au/summer-fridays/lip-butter-balm/V-813903.html?cgpath=brands-summer]Huda Beauty Kayali Vanilla, $130 [https://www.sephora.com.au/products/huda-beauty-kayali-vanilla-28-eau-de-parfum/v/50ml]We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we live, work and record this podcast on, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging. We extend that respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples listening today.
