I'm back! Not with part 2 of the last episode, which I released a month ago (more?) but with an incredible conversation with Lauren Vena.  Lauren is a pro-makeup artist with decades of experience and is currently the cover and features MUA for Bella Magazine. Her first book, My Mom: the best mom ever! seeks to accept the messiness of womanhood and motherhood that we all encounter (because it's human and that's super cool!). Lauren is super cool, too. A Jersey girl at heart, we talk about...

I was doing an episode on weird beauty products after a diamond made out of ranch triggered a memory from 2005 when Burger King made a fragrance. Then the Oscars happened.

Amanda McIntosh knows a thing or two about how frustrating taking off makeup can be. As a professional musician, she found all of the cleansing methods out there to be bad for skin or bad for the environment.

The Mitty is now just one product in a lineup from Amanda's beauty brand Take My Face Off. In this episode, she talks to Juliya...
