Episode notes

Beauty lovers, prepare for some seriously questionable advice – Leigh and Kelly are tackling the blurry lip trend that's taking over your feeds! From Korean beauty brands serving up "mellow blurring lip pencils" to Leigh's latest obsession: a fake silicone finger for perfect lip application (because apparently using your actual finger is too pedestrian when you're in the back of a taxi, obviously).

We chat layering serums, always go thinnest to thickest, but what happens when you genuinely can't tell which is which? Plus, winter tanning hacks that don't require full-body commitment (because who has time for that?), and Leigh's accidental discovery of the powder-foundation-powder sandwich technique that had strangers asking questions.
