In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB York is back with MORE UNPOPULAR OPINIONS—and she's not holding back!

She's tackling the lost art of style etiquette, the difference between genuine jealousy and people simply being embarrassed for you, and the Instagram GIRL BOSS phenomenon—where looking SEXY seems to have become more important than being taken seriously.

We're talking cleavage at the podium, TikTok attention seekers, professional women who confuse criticism with jealousy, and why there's a time and place for showing cleavage—and a time for keeping it covered!

The Emotionally Expensive Man: When Chemistry Costs You Your Peace

Wishing. Wanting. Waiting. Wondering. Sound familiar?

Some relationships don't drain your bank account—they drain your peace, confidence, creativity, and precious time. And sometimes the man with the biggest bank account comes with the highest emotional price tag!

In this candid, funny, and faith-filled episode of Beauty Revival, celebrity makeup artist and entrepreneur MB York explores the hidden cost of emotionally expensive men—from confusing communication and selfishness to relationships that require you to sacrifice your independence, values, and God-given purpose.

MB s...

What if the miracle you’ve been asking God for is already somewhere along your path — but you have to be paying attention to notice it?

In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB York explores what it means to walk in miracles — literally. From a crumpled page discovered on an ordinary morning walk to strangely specific moments of comfort during grief, unexpected connections, answered prayers, and circumstances that seem almost too perfectly timed to ignore, MB shares the experiences that have taught her to live with holy expectation.

But walking in miracles isn’t about calling...

Before Beauty Revival, there was my “first-born child”—the Beauty Ammo Kit. 💗

In this episode, I’m sharing the wild story of how I created Beauty Ammo to solve a problem I saw every day as a makeup artist—and how word of mouth took it from a Las Vegas beauty show to HSN, Rodeo Drive and Hollywood makeup trailers, including Dancing with the Stars.

Beauty Ammo has evolved over the years, but my philosophy hasn’t: I don’t chase beauty trends. I solve real problems.

Come behind the scenes for the celebrity stories...

What if the thing you’re craving isn’t another cocktail, another shopping spree, more attention—or even a man?

We live in a culture that has turned Happy Hour into a coping strategy. Bad day? Have a drink. Lonely? Go out. Stressed? Shop. Bored? Scroll. Want connection? Sit at the bar and hope something—or someone—interesting shows up.

In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB challenges women to trade unconscious coping for intentional living by planning their “Holy Hours” before life gets the chance to derail them.

A Holy Hour doesn’t have to happen...

Whiskey Sours, Ski Boots & Signs from Sweet Home Chicago

What happens when you spend three minutes talking about ski boots—and later that day, a pair literally appears on the sidewalk? Or when your mom says she needs bottled water, and minutes later a single bottle is sitting upright in the middle of the street, blocking your path?

In this episode of Beauty Revival, I’m taking you home to Chicago for a weekend filled with family stories, Giordano’s pizza, Whiskey Sours, a hilarious new neighbor, pink flamingos, flickering lights—and some pretty wild reminder...

Birthday Miracles, Pink Flamingos & Leopard Blankets

When God Shops at HomeGoods

What if the little things you’ve been praying about, thinking about—or even just secretly wanting—aren’t little to God at all?

In this birthday episode of Beauty Revival, MB shares a hilarious and heartwarming string of perfectly timed “coincidences” involving HomeGoods, pink flamingos, leopard everything, a very specific protein powder, unexpected gifts and the unmistakable feeling that God was in the details.

It’s also a reminder for those seasons when you’re encouraging everyone else to trust God…while...

Birthday Miracles, Pink Flamingos & Leopard Fur

When God Shops at HomeGoods

What if the little things you’ve been praying about, thinking about—or even just secretly wanting—aren’t little to God at all?

In this birthday episode of Beauty Revival, MB shares a hilarious and heartwarming string of perfectly timed “coincidences” involving HomeGoods, pink flamingos, leopard everything, a very specific protein powder, unexpected gifts and the unmistakable feeling that God was in the details.

It’s also a reminder for those seasons when you’re encouraging everyone else to trust God…while...

Triggering Things People Say (And Why They Matter)

Why do certain comments stick with us while others roll right off our backs?

In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB shares the everyday conversations that make her want to change the subject—from "At our age..." and "Have you lost weight?" to diet talk, relationship questions, and the subtle ways people unintentionally invite us into fear, comparison, or decline.

Through funny, honest, and sometimes uncomfortable personal stories, she explores why the words we repeat—and the conversations we choose to have—matter more than we rea...

From Buzzed to Balanced: What Are We Really Drinking For?

What happens when one blueberry beer unexpectedly makes you miss a version of your life you thought you’d left behind?

In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB shares a simple summer moment that opened up a much bigger conversation about alcohol, nostalgia, connection, and the feelings we sometimes attach to a drink. As she explores why she barely drinks anymore, she asks a different question: What are we really drinking for?

Is it the alcohol we miss—or the freedom, fun, connection, esca...

There was only one empty seat left at the bar...and what happened next became one of those moments I'll never forget.

In this episode, I'm sharing a surprising celebrity story, an unexpected encounter, and a reminder that some of life's most meaningful conversations happen when you least expect them.

Whether you've ever felt overlooked, surprised by God's timing, or simply love a good story, I think you'll enjoy this one.

What if the habits people mistake for vanity are actually the very things protecting your peace?

In this episode, I share why my daily walks, healthy eating, strength training, making my bed, keeping a clean home, and even wearing makeup have far less to do with appearance than they do with creating a life that supports my physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

As someone who has navigated autoimmune challenges, grief, entrepreneurship, and life's unexpected detours, I've learned that wellness isn't just about what we eat or how we exercise. It's also about the boundaries we...

This week on Beauty Revival, I'm sharing some honest reflections from a season of grief, friendship, and unexpected clarity.

After losing my beloved Daisy, I've found myself thinking a lot about love, loyalty, and why animals often make life feel so much simpler than people do. Grief has a way of stripping away the noise and helping us see relationships more clearly—and that's exactly what happened for me.

In this episode, I revisit the concept of "closing loops" and share two very different friendship stories. One conversation strengthened a friendship because the other person wa...

In today’s episode of Beauty Revival, I’m talking about something that has been heavily on my mind lately: being ignored, left on read, and what silence actually communicates in relationships, business, friendships, and life.

From unanswered messages to unfinished conversations, social media ghosting, celebrity culture, business collaborations that quietly disappear, and why I personally believe in “closing loops,” this episode explores the deeper emotional and spiritual impact of refusing to communicate.

I also discuss the famous “Rice Experiment,” why being ignored can sometimes hurt more than criticism, and what small acts of acknowledgment reveal about...

What do you do when you pray… believe… stand on God’s promises… and the miracle still doesn’t come?

In this deeply honest episode, MB York tackles one of the hardest faith questions we face:

Why do some prayers seem unanswered?

We’re living in a culture obsessed with manifestation, control, visualization, and “speaking your reality into existence.” But is that biblical faith… or something else?

In this episode, MB breaks down the powerful difference between magic and miracles:

✨ Magic says: my will be done.

✨ Miracles say: God’s will be don...

This week on Beauty Revival, celebrity makeup artist and wellness advocate MB York dives into one of the most personal and controversial topics of her life — food, health, beauty, aging, and why she stopped eating meat nearly 20 years ago after the devastating loss of her beloved wolf-hybrid, Chilli.

What started as grief over losing an animal she describes as her “soulmate” became a spiritual and emotional awakening that completely transformed her health, energy, mindset, and understanding of the beauty industry itself. After years working in anti-aging, television, fashion, and celebrity beauty, MB realized something shocking: you can’t out-ma...

This week brought chaos I didn’t expect—sick kittens, a life-or-death situation with my daughter's cat, travel, family stress, and moments where everything felt like it was falling apart.

But in the middle of it, something shifted.

In this episode, I share the story, the turning point through prayer and a powerful moment with Sara O'Meara, and the deeper lesson behind it all:

How to move through chaos without losing yourself.

Because the miracle isn’t after the storm…

it’s already happening inside it.

Most women don’t need more makeup… they need to fix what’s quietly aging them.

In this episode, I’m breaking down exactly how I can make women look younger, fresher, and more polished in about five minutes—and why it works every single time.

From overdone brows and heavy foundation to powder that settles into lines and skin that’s missing hydration, I’m sharing the most common mistakes I see (and correct) every day in real time with my clients.

What’s interesting is this isn’t about adding more—it’s about editing...

In this episode of Beauty Revival: Beauty, Business, and Breakthrough with a Mission, I’m sharing my experience in Baliand how it became so much more than a trip—it became a reset.

From the peaceful rhythm of village life to a culture rooted in service, gratitude, and community, I began to see what it really means to renew your mind—just as it says in Bible Romans 12:2.

We talk about:

What started as a flight delay turned into something I couldn’t have planned.

In this episode, I’m sharing a real-time story from my trip to Bali—how missed timing, unexpected changes, and what looked like disruption actually became alignment. From almost missing baggage check-in to watching everything fall into place for Ellie and this trip, it reminded me how powerful it is to stay open instead of reactive.

This is what I call the Miracle Code for Travel—learning to trust that things are happening for you, not to you.

Sometimes the mome...

Episode Description

In this episode of the Beauty Revival Podcast, celebrity makeup artist and beauty entrepreneur MB York takes you behind the scenes of the new Flaawsome Finish Kit, created in collaboration with journalist and interviewer Kjersti Flaaof Flaawsome Talk.

After years of clients asking how to recreate MB’s signature glow look, the idea for a simple, foolproof makeup kit was born. But bringing a beauty product to life is rarely simple. From color testing and filming in Los Angeles to an unexpected supplier shutdown that sent MB chasing down inventory through auctions, bids, an...

Make Time Itself Look Like the Fool

What if aging isn’t about time at all?

In this episode, I unpack a truth that changed everything for me: it’s not time that ages us — it’s stress, misalignment, unresolved trauma, and living in survival mode for too long.

Science confirms what many of us feel intuitively. Chronic stress floods the body with cortisol, breaks down collagen, accelerates inflammation, and shortens telomeres — the protective caps on our DNA that are linked to aging and disease. In other words, the body cannot repair when it doesn’t...

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the story behind my new book, Beauty Revival — why I wrote it, what I’ve learned working with women for decades, and how a shift in mindset changed everything for me.

We talk about beauty, business, purpose, and the Miracle Code — the practical framework I created to help navigate challenges, create momentum, and expect better outcomes.

This episode is honest, encouraging, and forward-looking. If you’re ready to feel inspired, empowered, and reminded that more is possible at every age, this one’s for you.

Beauty Revival is now...

Have you ever noticed how fear shows up right before something good breaks through?

In this episode, MB York introduces The Miracle Code of 211 — a simple but powerful spiritual and practical framework for moments when you feel forgotten, overlooked, pressured, or on the verge of spiraling.

211 isn’t about positive thinking or pretending fear doesn’t exist.

It’s about what you do the moment fear tries to take over.

Through real, improbable, and deeply personal stories — from business and money, to health scares, to lost jewelry that “shouldn’t” have been found — MB...

This episode is about the pause — not the quit.

After weeks of silence, I’m pulling back the curtain on what’s really been happening behind the scenes in my beauty business — from a major celebrity collaboration delay to the reality of building something meaningful without forcing the timing.

In this episode, I talk about:

This episode is a reflection on the Christmas season, community, and what it looks like when beauty, healing, and generosity come together.

I’m sharing highlights from a week filled with incredible women — from holiday trunk shows and meaningful conversations, to two powerful nights centered on healing, art, and faith. I talk about doing makeup for Sara O’Meara’s service at the Franciscan Renewal Center, witnessing healing, and celebrating the message behind her book Healing: Your Miracle Awaits. I also share about an inspiring evening with artist Vanessa Horabuena, our shared School of Ministry connection, and how crea...

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 ...

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.<...

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 ...

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...

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 exp...

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 serendipitie...

In this raw and revealing episode, MB York shares what decades in the beauty industry taught her about leadership, loyalty, and letting go. From running high-end spas to rebuilding after burnout, she unpacks the hard lessons of hiring, training, and managing employees in an entitlement-driven culture.

MB talks candidly about what she’d do differently today — from hiring with discernment and creating team culture rooted in respect, to setting clear boundaries and paying in ways that protect your peace and your profit.

Whether you’re a beauty professional, a small business owner, or anyone who’s ever str...

In this episode of Beauty Revival, MB York gets real about the friendships that shape us — and the ones that drain us. From “fake friends” who disappear in a crisis to the loyal ones who sharpen us like Proverbs 27:17, she unpacks the true meaning of friendship revival.

You’ll hear personal stories of friendships that looked glamorous but lacked loyalty, and the hard lessons learned about boundaries, reciprocity, and respect. MB breaks down friendship etiquette — showing up on time, splitting the bill, returning what you borrow, being discreet in public, and never cozying up to your friend’s enemies or...
