Add to Cart with Kulap Vilaysack & SuChin Pak

Beauty experts Jill Dunn and Carlene Higgins from Breaking Beauty talk about hot beauty trends like the K18 hair mask and the Dyson Airwrap. They discuss skincare, makeup, and hair products, including the PillowtalkDerm line and Chanel mascara. They remove the 'clean girl aesthetic' from their shopping carts and recommend fashion items like bold sunglasses and Alix NYC bodysuits.

Su is joined by a bevy of guests who are challenging us all to examine ourselves, our relationships, and our carts. Kia Miakka Natisse and Yowei Shaw, the hosts of NPR’s legendary Invisibilia podcast, share strategies for making the best of emotional shopping and why open carts are great for narrative tension. Later, Mimi Zhu discusses their new book, Be Not Afraid of Love — the October pick for Lemonada’s book club that forever changed Su’s perspective. Their cart is helping them stay present and connect with their inner child. Plus, we’re doing a giveaway for our 100th episode!
