Back in January, when things were…different…YouTube star Kathleen Fuentes (aka KathleenLights) visited the Fat Mascara studio in New York City to talk all things beauty with Jenn (Jess was on maternity leave). She shared DIY manicure tips and her favorite beauty bargains—and explained how astrology can influence your beauty routine [editor’s note: maybe].
Also on this week’s podcast: the latest beauty news (Ulta’s charitable move, celebrities going gray, TikTok influencers launching beauty brands, and new science about how lips age); Dr. Heidi Waldorf has help for a listener who gets “strawberry legs” after shaving; and Jenn and Jess wonder: Will Leonard Lauder’s famous “Lipstick Index” hold in our current economic uncertainty?
