  • It’s insightful and covers a range of beauty related things

    Charisse is very knowledgeable, you can tell she is not here to sell. She discusses products, editorial stuff and brings different perspectives from talented people that work in fashion or the beauty industry.

    I just love her insights even if she talks about products that I haven’t heard of or tried yet, plus her voice is really lovely.
