Sorry we haven't gotten an episode out in a while! I've been literally traveling (South America) and it was difficult to get a joint episode recorded.
But Sarah Bellum stepped in and Valerie and her put together this episode where they talk about their favorite products.
We'll be back next episode with all new Q&A!
But for now, enjoy some Beauty Product Talk.
