Katrina Stack from MTV's Real World: Bad Blood Season 32


I had the awesome opportunity to talk beauty with the lovely Katrina Stack, the other half of the Stack sisters from MTV's Real World: Bad Blood Season 32. She was happy to answer any question I had for her.

Katrina lived in a loft in Seattle's Capitol Hill neighborhood with 6 strangers plus 7 people who have bad blood with the roommates on this last season of Real World. Her bad blood was her sister Anna as they struggle to get along from time to time. Don't we all struggle with siblings to some degree or another?


Katrina currently lives in Micanopy, Florida, a town of just 600 people just south of Gainesville. She grew up in another small town in Florida called Parkland. She stays busy showing houses, hunting, riding horses, and doing appearances. Katrina has a Morkie named Benelli who goes everywhere with her, glued to her hip. She also has a goat named Sprinkles. When she's not at the barn, she's out at the local bar with friends.



I asked Katrina what her favorite and least favorite moments in the Real World house. She said, "Honestly, there were so many favorite moments I had in the house. I think my first one was when me and all the roommates were together, the first seven, the original seven, in the confessional. And really just walking into the Real World house. It was so surreal, it felt like a dream." 


She went on to say, "But my least favorite moment had to be when I walked in the house and saw seven new roommates when we came back from the zoo."

What's your nighttime beauty routine look like that you do before going to bed? Every night before bed I always take a shower, wash my face, brush my teeth, and usually grab a snack lol. I always have snacks in my nightstand, I'm surprised they never showed that on the show.

What products are your favorites? My favorite products are Olay face lotion I use everyday. 

What's your favorite top 3 brands of makeup? I don't really wear much makeup. But the brands I do use which I love are Clinique, & Naked. 

Fave foundation? Clinique

Fave lipstick? NYX (Stockholm) Dose Of Colors (Truffle) 

Fave eyeshadow palette? The Naked palette.

Fave mascara? Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, Blackest Black. 

Do you have any hair products or tips/tricks you like to do with your hair? Clearly I love hair extensions lol, ever since I had cut my hair for a photo shoot before I had left to film for the Real World. So if I am not rocking those, I'll just have my hair down straighten. 

Fave perfume? Honestly I love Victoria Secret's purse pocket ones they sell up by the registers, so I am currently carrying the Bombshell one. But I switch it up whenever I get a new one.

Anna Stack from Real World: Bad Blood Season 32



I had the exciting opportunity to chat with the gorgeous Anna Stack, one half of the Stack sisters from Real World: Bad Blood Season 32. She's hilariously funny with a dry sense of humor. She loves interacting on social media with people who watched her season and just want to chat. Her snaps are often of people in the background doing odd things. She obviously gets a kick out of it and we the viewers do too.

When I asked her where she liked to hangout, she said, "I have multiple favorite hangouts. In Orlando, I love Winter Park, Thorten Park and anywhere on Lake Eola. You can usually catch me dancing at Vintage in downtown Orlando. I love smoothies at Bikes Beans & Bordeaux. I usually rollerblade around Lake Baldwin with my dog Tater."






That adorable fluffball on Anna's lap is her 9-year old rescue Maltese named Tater. He loves going everywhere with Anna, and even jumps in her bag to take him with her. She told me he was basically her life.

Anna grew up in Parkland, Florida and currently resides in Winter Park (Orlando). Anna works as a wine & spirits consultant for a distributor. She specializes in all natural, gluten/gmo free, organic and local products. She's also a consultant for establishments serving alcohol. Anna creates seasonal drinks and help design cocktail menus.










I asked Anna what her most favorite and least favorite moments in the Real World and this is what she had to say. "Everyone in the house was beyond hilarious. So there were so many moments our stomachs pretty much were sore from laughing. Whether making inside jokes with the camera guys or just feeling like caged animals." She goes on to say, "Staring outside of the windows of a cast van waiting to get the go ahead for us to be able to go outside. Then having people stare at us like we are the plague. We all really went through such a unique situation together so that created a bond like any other I've experienced. My least favorite was having to be told what I can and can't do in general. Having to get permission to open the door to go outside...and not being able to go into restaurants and shops unless the cameras were able to go with you. Having to be told when to leave the club."





I asked Anna what she's passionate about, and she said, "A passion of mine is traveling and helping others. I speak at local universities on issues our generation are passionate about. I'm always fostering some type of animal." When asked what some of her favorite places are, she said, "Some of my favorite places in the world are Bangtao Beach in Phuket, Thailand, anywhere in La Jolla Cove in San Diego, or any hot spring in La Arenal, Costa Rica. After it is legalized, I'd spend every 4/20 in Colorado. Mount Tremblant in Montreal is my magical place. My favorite city to party and is Bangkok. My favorite place to get breakfast and coffee on a rooftop and people watch is in Barcelona. My favorite country beauty-wise is Switzerland. Lake Lugano surrounded by the Swiss Alps is literally what my soul would look like. Food has got to go to Copenhagen. I'm so into that modern cuisine. They're always trying something new. I also love coldwater fish. And Christiania...such a unique and cool little town to still have going on to this day. My favorite place for happy hour is Milan. They literally do it like no other. They just bring out plates of food and you order their amazing wine that's cheaper than water. And this is at like five or 6 o'clock and then you go shoe shopping, only to ruin them on the streets later when you're stumbling home from the clubs. Dubai overwhelms me...in a good way, though. It just makes me think of what our world is capable of. Things people have never thought of are there. Playa Mujeres...favorite island. Right outside of Cancun, you take a boat to this little island. And you get on it and drive golf carts around day drinking frozen mojitos at drive-thru bars. There's so many places. I'm sorry I literally cannot even choose. I have so many stories."






Beauty

Anna was happy to let my readers know what her beauty routine is. She took some photos of her favorite products and sent them to me. Here's all of her faves!

What's your nighttime beauty routine look like before going to bed? I have struggled with adult acne for the past four years so my nighttime regimen is pretty specific to my acne. Sometimes I will scrub my face with some organic raw honey, organic raw brown sugar, organic lemon juice. Then rinse. I will also use a mask consisting of a teaspoon of active dry yeast and probably about the same measurement for lemon juice. I mix it up and put it on my face for about 30 minutes. For a toner I use organic apple cider vinegar.. I let that dry then I top it spray some rose water and let it dry. I always use a separate moisturizer for around my eyes...usually an anti-aging one. And then I use Olay Oil- Free lotion for the rest of my face. I use baking soda to whiten my teeth.

What's your favorite top 3 brands of makeup? Top three favorite brands are CoverFX, Tarte, and NYX (it's inexpensive but good).

Primers
My favorite is the CoverFX and also Too Faced Too (not pictured).

Setting Sprays

Favorite Foundation
My favorite foundation is Lancome, but for  an inexpensive alternative the NYX is amazing!

Concealers

Face Powder
NYX is decent, I'm sure there's better, but I really never wear it.

Lipsticks
Anastasia Beverly Hills Crush and NYX Stockholm 

Mascaras
Order from favorite to least with Benefit being my favorite. 

Eyebrows
My favorite brow gel is the Elizabeth Mott Queen of the Fill.

Highlighters/Illuminators 

Perfume
Dolce & Gabana Light Blue

Favorite Subscription Boxes
I literally only check my mail for iPsy. Dollar Shave Club is the only reason why my legs are not hairy. Lifesaverrrrr!
