We’re joined this week by our intern/Southern correspondent Valerie, who kicks off the episode with her favorite product—a skincare tonic that keeps her skin as bouncy as a Squishmallow. This week’s big topic: solid shampoo bars. We know they’re good for the environment, but how do you actually use them? Prepare to be surprised, because we’ve been doing it wrong this whole time. Before that, loads of beauty news to discuss: Estée Lauder Companies is winding down Rodin Olio Lusso; Kim Kardashian is getting into the skincare game; Jen Atkin partners with e.l.f. Cosmetics; Justine Bateman gets real about aging; and Guerlain offers a simple way you can help the bees.
Below you’ll find a list of some of the people, topics, and products mentioned in this episode. If you have any questions (or just want to say hi), reach out to us on Instagram, Twitter, or via email (info@fatmascara.com). And please email us voice memos of your beauty questions and Raise A Wand favorites so we can share them on the show. You can also leave us a voicemail to be featured on a future podcast (our phone number in the U.S. is at 646-481-8182).
