This week, journalist Rachel Felder, author of the new book Red Lipstick: Ode to a Beauty Icon, shares the fascinating history of the world's most talked-about lip color! She talks about the ingredient Egyptians used to redden their mouths, the “Lipstick Wars” of the 20th century, the secret story behind MAC's Russian Red, and so much more. Before that: We discuss Glamsquad and other on-demand beauty services; hair-saving shower filters; and Believe Beauty, Dollar General's new makeup collection.
