    Attention, Glams! We are taking a little summer break (for the first time ever!). For the month of June, we won’t be having any Tuesday episodes with Kirbie and Sara. But don’t worry, we’ll be back before you know it. And because we couldn’t leave you hanging, we have guest episodes coming to you on Fridays! 
    On today’s episode, we’re chatting about our upcoming 5th birthday in July! A special shoutout to our day ones who have been listening since the beginning. 
    We’re also discussing Sephora new #1 brand and Glossier’s OG Balm Dotcom relaunch (as reported by Puck), Gen Z’s obsession with a new brand, Naturium’s entrance into Ulta Beauty, and a new documentary that has linked some luxury fragrance brands to child labor.

    LASIK, Lumify, & Lash Growth Serums: What You Should Know About Eye Health

    LASIK, Lumify, & Lash Growth Serums: What You Should Know About Eye Health

    We’re talking all things eyes on today’s episode with Dr. Rany Woo, a cataract and refractive eye surgeon who recently did Sara’s life-changing EVO ICL procedure. We ask Dr. Rany how our eyes change as we age, the differences between all the refractive eye surgeries (LASIK vs. PRK vs. Smile), and the reason you shouldn’t be using those red eye-reducing eye drops as much as you are. She also shares the five things she would never do as an ophthalmologist, from DIY fireworks to using eyelash growth serums.
