Ep 57: Makeup Lessons with Cassandra Garcia. Jun 05, 2019

Show notes

Today we interviewed Cassandra Garcia... makeup artist to THE STARS... and us! Cassandra did our makeup for the NYC live show but she's also the in-house makeup artist for Bobbi Brown AND she does makeup for the cast of SNL. (+ other celebs!!) We gathered ALL your makeup questions for her and put her to the test. You may want to grab a notebook for this one as it gets pretty technical - in the best possible way. We're talking about making your makeup last, under eye concealer that won't settle into fine lines, and more. Do you really need a primer? What about a setting spray? Cassandra also shares her favorite luxury products + cheapie drugstore finds.

PS - the long wear cream eyeshadow we keep talking about is SHORE by Bobbi Brown. Not "Sure" or "The Shore!"

Be sure to follow Cassandra at @cygmakeup!

Ep. 56: Normal People Book Club + What Makes a Book YA!? May 29, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, we are talking about Normal People by Sally Rooney! We loved this book. In fact, we both agree that it's one of the best books we've read this year. BUT we couldn't decide… is it a "Young Adult" book? Let us know what you think! In light of this book, we talk about our own secret romances (or lack thereof!), power dynamics in relationships, and how your confidence can shift (for better or worse) over time.

Also, Becca had the worst travel day of her life, Grace is loving @sanctuarywrld on Instagram, and Becca and Grace are both obsessed with the Charlotte Tilbury Wonderglow Primer!
