Beauty critic Jessica DeFino is back with her Mess World co-host, fashion writer and Interview magazine digital editor Emily Kirkpatrick, for our monthly Obsessions + Recs episode. This month, we're forecasting the trends of summer and diving into everything that's been on our radar lately, including cadaver fat fillers, the Marilyn Monroe resurgence, the Kardashian knockoff industrial complex, bare nails, and why influencer hauls = a reason to Brick your phone. Per usual, every topic is a thrill and nothing is too niche.
