Beauty ReMixed

July 2021. The month we launched Beauty ReMixed. This is a catch-up episode filled with ailments, allergies, and afflictions. Samantha went to Puebla to visit some of her family and discusses the healing waters of the foothills of the mountains. Cold showers... do we... love? Brennen started strong with a presentation of the iconique film "Showgirls" from Gracie. But was soon indoors as much as possible due to a myriad of skin issues from an undetermined source... and then followed up w...

Woof y'all. We recorded this 4/21/2021. How do you care for yourself when the world is a dumpster fire of social injustice? What does self-care look and feel like when you can barely get out of bed? How do you reach out to someone who's cup is empty? How do you communicate with people reaching out to check-in when you don't want to be checked in on. We cover all of this and more in this episode. CW: Discussions of the murders of George Floyd, Daunte Wright, Yadhira Romero Martinez; feeli...

Ep 5: Empties Round 2This episode is high-key the Samantha show. Tons of body care products, a few meows from Samantha's cat Luna, anguish over Y2K styles making a comeback... We also ask if bras help or hinder the gravitational pull of the décolletage and Samantha asks Brennen about the Pegasus plushie... One more thing... Ancient Cosmetics has blessed our skin.

Samantha and Brennen are here to discuss some of their empties. Are there really things more satisfying than finishing a well-loved product? Maybe. But it's pretty high on our list. This will be an ongoing series in Beauty Remixed because, well, we go through a lot of products. Sorry 'bout it. Round 1 of empties focuses on hair and skincare specifically so get ready to get the scoop on some of these!

This entire episode was inspired by one of Brennen's friends asking about washing legs in the shower. Which unlocked a core memory for Samantha about someone she knew using one product for shampoo & soap. This episode is full of hysterics, stress, clean tips, a mini-rant about high school dress codes, and X-in-1 shampoo. Spoiler alert - please don't use an X-in-1 product.

Get ready product junkies - Samantha & Brennen are going through their AM & PM skincare routines. Did we record this back in March? Yes. But it still stands, tbh. We also discuss the unfortunate rite of passage that is cutting your own bangs, spider lashes, "raw sauce." And Brennen confesses she's a "Lancome girl but not on a Lancome budget." Also, we share our bare bones routine rec's and go on a MN love tangent, because we gotta.

Before we REALLY dive into all things beauty and skincare, you should meet Samantha & Brennen. Friends since high school, roommates for a spell of time, and still are unsure how they became friends. Get to know us and how we first became interested in beauty/skincare. Samantha has been in the game for many, many moons. Also, find out why working at Disney World was an absolute menace to Brennen's skin. And stay tuned for the end when Brennen shows Samantha why Fenty Beauty Lip Stunn...
