Are Mini Products a Massive Problem?
Happy almost Thanksgiving, Glams! We are so thankful for each and every single one of you for tuning in week after week and indulging us as we wax poetic about our favorite beauty products and discuss insane news like what US Representative George Santos could’ve bought at Sephora using campaign funds. That’s on today’s episode agenda, in addition to an analysis of Beauty of Fashion correspondent Liz Flora’s latest story on why beauty minis are everywhere right now. Kirbie shares her experience attending beauty’s most inspiring night: the L’Oreal Paris Women of Worth Dinner, where 10 women were honored with $25,000 grants to help support their nonprofits; Sara shares why Chanel’s new serum is nearly $1000 and recounts her time in Paris with the brand perusing the Chanel archives. We are not sharing a Black Friday/Cyber Monday doc as we have in the past, but check out some of our favorite roundups for recommendations on what to shop. And don’t forget to call the hotline or leave a comment to share what you’ll be buying during these sales!
