Hi, I'm Valerie, and this is episode 181 of the Beauty Brains, a show where real scientists answer your beauty

questions and give you an insider's look at the beauty product industry.

I'm your host Valerie George and with me

today is my co-host Perry Romanozky. Hey Perry. Hello Valerie. Hope you're

ready to answer some questions today about whether or not expired or

fermented milk from the kitchen can be used as a DIY toner, should you be worried

about shrimp in products? Do we need a spatula or scoop for skin care products?

And what makes Mabelian lip gloss work so well?

Ooh, lip gloss, yummy.

I'm not sure how much lip gloss you've used,

but it's an excellent set of questions today.

I was always a fan of that when I was growing up I was always a fan of that

carmix product I just I just like the taste of it not that ate it, but I just always put it on.

I always loved using the tube with the domed orifice.

I always had that in my bag in high school.

Yes, I rather enjoyed when they put that together although you know I I think that they

must have changed the formula when they put it in there because it seemed a little less

solid or something. Yeah it definitely had a little more seepage.

Not that it was unstable, but I could tell that it had a lower melting point,

you know, reflecting back, of course I didn't know this when I was in high school when I would throw in my

L.L. Bean book bag but when I would take it out of the backpack and put it on I

could tell that there was a little more moisture to it, fake moisture.
