Ep. 495: Celebrity Plastic Surgery, Animal Testing & The Week’s Beauty News

Why are the videos where Lorry Hill analyzes plastic surgery so compelling? Does it even matter if she’s right about what celebrities like Jennifer Lawrence do to their faces? Let’s work through our feelings together:) Plus, Jess has a new game for Jenn that involves vintage shopping online. Canada bans testing cosmetics on animals and we explain where (and why) animal testing is still allowed.
