There's a lot to talk about this week! We discuss one of Jess’s favorite stores closing, which skincare supplements actually work, and the week's beauty headlines: Ulta sponsors R29Somos, a Latinx beauty and style website; the FDA approves a new lip filler; CBD line Uncle Bud partners with Jane Fonda; and L’Oréal launches a new program supporting women and the environment. Plus, we’re talking about sustainability with Christopher Skinner, principal and founder of School House—and now a special correspondent to Fat Mascara. He discusses what the word “sustainability” means to brands and consumers today. Has it become less of a priority because of the pandemic, or has it never been more important?
