Calling all #materialgirls! If you’re feeling the effects of inflation so hard rn, get ready to slash your beauty bill with the Spring 2022 drugstore edition of the #DamnGoods. In today’s episode, Jill gets her hands on a K-Beauty essence made from 90% snail mucin (don’t worry, it’s cruelty-free, everyone). Plus, we hear all about the return of a cult-fave salicylic acid serum from The Ordinary that spawned a 400,000 person-long wait list.
Then, stay tuned to hear about which budget mascara came out on top among the many tested by Carlene – an $8 falsie-effect formula that’s already taken TikTok by storm. Plus, Carlene tries yet another hit complexion product from the gurus at L’Oréal, Jill finds a brow product that can only be described as the love child between Glossier Boy Brow + Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze and finally, do you love a matte lip crayon but find them too drying? Don’t worry, Megan Thee Stallion (and Carlene!) have got you covered.
