Bad On Paper

In this episode, we are joined our third sorority house member (and other best friend), Alex Dickerson. It's a longer episode and we talk about everything from friendship and dating to careers and going back to school for na MBA. There's also a mini Grace roast and a few embarrassing stories. Alex has had an incredible career thus far, complete with nearly being the star of a reality TV show and going to business school in Barcelona. We also talk about her messy dating story (+ broken engagement), and how that has shaped her into the person she is today. This episode was so much fun, and we hope you love Alex as much as we do!  Also in this episode, Becca has purchased a fancy home luggage stand, and Grace is obsessed with Sephora’s new clean beauty line.

It's our June Book Club! Today is Becca's Superbowl... also known as The Idea of You Emotional Support Group. If you’ve been listening for a while you know how OBSESSED we are with this book. Seriously, we’re still trying to figure out how life continues after reading it. We finally get to talk about it today. Becca has begun her healing process through writing her own sequel. In light of this book, Becca and Grace talk about their favorite boy band, leading to a heated debate over whether or not Mark Wahlberg was actually a real member of New Kids on the Block. Finally, we talk about the youngest age we would date and whether that changes if he was famous (hint: it does).  Also in this episode, Grace had a mini college reunion at the Boston live show and Becca is still distraught over this book, but is recovering with the show Dead to Me.   PSA: Tomorrow we are releasing a bonus episode with the incredible writer of this book, Robinne Lee, where we practically beg for a sequel.

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!"
