After 30 Years, the Iconic, Original "Spice" Lip Liner is BACK
We kick off the episode with a very important (and divisive) question — do you shower with the lights on or off? It had never occurred to Kirbie and Sara that people bathed in darkness, but apparently that is a thing people do. How do you see what you’re grabbing for and what about the monsters? We discuss. Then, MOB Beauty co-founders Victor Casale and Alicia Gallagher join the convo to discuss the extremely exciting news that they’re recreating the original shade of MAC Spice, the same one Victor created for the beauty brand in the late 1980s. Listen in to hear the painstaking process he went through to ensure it was the exact color as the original and get ready for the lauch of M1990 on 4/17!

Tarte's Gone Wild. (Again!) Plus: An Exclusive K-Beauty Moisturizer and The Perfect Lip Liner

Celebrating 10 years of Trippin’ With Tarte, the brand made their way to Necker Island with a gaggle of influencers. And while they did donate money to the LAFD, it was the way in which they promoted these donations and the overall tone-deaf social strategy that has us scratching our heads. Tune in to hear why we don’t think the trip should have been cancelled but what the brand should have considered before posting.
