How do you know you should trust a beauty review?

This week we’re talking about how to verify if a beauty review is valid! I’m breaking down what you should look for in a reviewer and how to determine if their feedback will be helpful for your specific beauty needs.

I’m also participating in Inside Pop’s #BigSell30 challenge! Sharing a piece of pop culture I think you should check out!

Manolo Blahnik Documentary with Jessyca Renee

Did you know there’s a Manolo Blahnik documentary in theaters right now? I saw it with luxury planner Jessyca Renee and we agreed it’s a solid 3.5 out of 5 stars.

We’re discussing our first impressions of the film including what we learned about Manolo the man, why the title of the film is trash and how we think Naomi Campbell could use a geography/history lesson… or are we just not well-traveled enough to match her knowledge?

But first - Jessyca shared her background in the fashion industry and gave her professional insight as to why Kylie Cosmetics sold out quickly but Fenty Beauty is still in stores.
