KIRBIE JOHNSON AND SARA TAN
About this episode

What’s up with YSL Beauty’s PR? There’s something fishy going on over on Threads, according to Kirbie, and she’s determined to get to the bottom of it. Ulta Beauty Collection is getting a new look and more SKUs! We share our thoughts on the makeover and who it’s made for. And just like last year, we’re giving our mid-year report where we share the brand we think is winning 2024 so far. And what do you know, we picked the same brand. Remember, you can watch all our episodes on Youtube, so be sure to subscribe!
