Annie and Nick are back together and sifting through all the beauty-industry stories they missed in the last two weeks, including new C-suite jobs for Kendall and Bella; another SPF from Purito; and Mexico's ban on animal testing in cosmetics.

Sober curious? Nick talks with Annie Grace, creator of The Alcohol Experiment and author of This Naked Mind, about the effects of lockdown and quarantine on people’s drinking habits—and how to change the way you think about (and behave around) alcohol.

Annie and Nick dig in to the week’s top stories—and solve the case of the cow-print sweatshirt.

We're back! And we brought friends: skincare legend Kate Somerville chats with Annie and Maggie Lin, founder of Foster Nation to talk about how they're helping foster youth break into the beauty industry. Plus, Annie and Nick discuss other people's luxury vacations and review Rihanna's new fragrance live on-air.
