About this episode
We’ve got a jam-packed episode full of beauty news and launches and another round of Data Girl! On today’s episode, we discuss reports that Kylie Cosmetics’ parent company Coty Inc. is being sued for “inflating” the brand’s value after acquiring it last year. Yikes! In more uplifting news, The Lip Bar teams up with Michelle Obama and When We All Vote on a beautiful lipstick that hopes to increase voter participation. For Data Girl, Sara quizzes Kirbie on Pinterest’s 2020 Global Beauty Report. And last but not least, this week’s WOYF involves a Reddit-famous skincare brand and an autumn-perfect lipstick.
