Summary
Alexis Androulakis and Christina Basias, the duo behind viral account @thelipsticklesbians and founders of the brand Fempower Beauty, are on a mission to make you a more informed beauty customer!

Plus, they explain how contract manufacturers work; how quickly innovation spreads in the beauty industry; why quality pearl (i.e., shimmer) costs are high and stock packaging costs are low; which luxury products are worth your money; the best bargain dupes; and what sales associates really think when they come into Sephora, Target, or Ulta Beauty to film one of their videos.
