beauty *Bleep* we love
march 2020 edition
Welcome to the first episode of a new video series on The T-Zone called Beauty Bleep We Love! As beauty editors and writers, testing the latest products is part of the j-o-b, and there’s no shortage of newness vying to catch our attention. Receiving packages of upcoming releases at home and touring the city to attend launch events is all very exciting. And, TBH, it’s sometimes overwhelming cuz it’s non-stop. But, mostly it’s that first thing, because you NEVER know when you’re going to discover a legit must-have. And, when we come across something that inspires us to make room in our bathroom vanity, or feel compelled to it tote around on the daily, you know it’s got something going for it. Here, in the March 2020 edition below, we share 6 of the products we’ve been loving lately, including a budget-friendly lippie with a smart design and an ultra-hydrating skincare treatment you can wear while you’re sleeping. Oh, and because we’re nosy like that, we’d LOVE to know: what new beauty product has rocked your world lately? Feel free to send us an email or slide into our DMs to tell us all about it!
