The A & B Conversation

Fake Inclusivity

Amber has retracted her disdain for B’s “Shein” beauty products since she fell in love with SheGlam lipsticks at an exclusive invite-only influencer event. However, what A’s reallyyyy hype about is THAT GLOW on B’s cheeks (pause)... It’s lovely & B’s a closeted fan but what a tangled web we weave when we have to promote a product whose line isn’t inclusive. Tune in and listen to the girls call out the brands that are still perpetuating a fraud vs those that have managed to reinvent the wheel for themselves. -- What are the girls wearing? 1:15 Can you recommend a product when a brand isn’t inclusive? 7:10 We Don’t All Love CoCo 17:50 Drugstore Inclusivity vs Luxury Inclusivity 24:15  -- Product Mentions:  Laura Mericer Ultra Blur Powder [https://www.lauramercier.com/products/translucent-loose-setting-powder-ultra-blur?variant=43486659215599] SheGlam [https://www.sheglam.com/collections/lipstick]  Wander Beauty Cream Blush  [https://www.wanderbeauty.com/products/double-date-lip-and-cheek?variant=40297150644378¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=CjwKCAjwoIqhBhAGEiwArXT7KxHmMPd5CLUHnN14CJ4dAacbWcRCSl5bfP7psL25sCsuCGWKuV4mAhoCvhwQAvD_BwE]

Qualms About Clean Beauty

The girls have a bone to pick with the term “Clean Beauty.” Without certain preservatives, these products can go rotten REAL QUICK… sending A’s skin into a spiral. – While B is simply rolling her eyes at the fact that “Clean Beauty” isn’t even regulated by the FDA. It all feels like a scam… just like products claiming “Cruelty Free.” Of course the girls don’t want the puppies to be hurt but maybe it could fix the rodent problem in NYC.

Shrooms are the New CBD

It’s giving wellness episode, yall. The girls are both in a better mood this week even though A overworked herself in her fancy ass gym…. Her poor clients (ughhh, A working) likely caught a whiff of Bengay on set. B gently breaks down Ozempic by way of her husband’s expertise while being clueless about Shrooms…or rather as A puts it, “adaptogens.” The bottom line is weed are the new Newports. The girls end with ripping apart product packaging – literally and figuratively. Does a 3D eyeshadow palette ever make sense? & which skincare line stole the color scheme from Martin?

The Beauty Supply

This week the girls are talking about HAIR. A rabbit hole that began with A schooling B on how to use CLIP INS (yes, sis is clearly brain-dead), tape-ins, and mystery fibers AKA braiding hair. A silk press that mimics a RELAXER, teaching families about the freelance beauty struggle when you can't afford to get your hair done, and a very biased Dr. Barbara Sturm facial review is the beauty banter you NEED to hear on this week's episode of The A & B Conversation.

#BlackGirlLuxury

B confesses the B stands for BOUJIE...since all-inclusive resorts and day spas give her the ICK, leading the girls down a rabbit hole of all things #BlackGirlLuxury. Let A & B kindly educate you on why you SHOULD be putting glycolic toner under your armpits & not near your GOOCH, along with A's subtle flex of the all-inclusive resorts SHE'S been to, and how a fancy white hair salon that B's Black momma took her to still managed to struggle straightening her basic ass texture. C your way into this week's self-care AF episode. Follow the girls IRL (kinda): @aandbconversationpod | @ber_amos | @brittywhitfield
