S01E22 | Makeup and Consumerism

Treat yourself! Xine and Liz talk about class and race in the consumerist makeup heaven that is Sephora. Lupita Nyong'o is now the face of Lancome, but our PhDivas have grown up struggling with representation in cosmetics. It's bittersweet finally being able to enter the rarefied realm of beauty... And as academics we're not supposed to care or talk about it. (FYI Liz loves the Jardin perfume series from Hermes, while Xine's signature fragrance is Tom Ford Black Orchid and is now obsessed with Helmut Lang's Cuiron)
