Show notes
Time to spring clean your makeup stash! Leigh & Kelly are tackling the overwhelming task of decluttering your beauty collection without keeping "just in case" products forever. They're breaking down expiry dates (spoiler: powders last way longer than liquids!), sharing storage tips that actually matter, and revealing why that mascara you've been hoarding needs to go immediately. Plus, Kelly's got the ultimate deep-clean routine for your brushes and tools that goes way beyond your regular wash.
Then they're solving the slicked-back hair dilemma! How do you get that chic, editorial look without looking like you haven't washed your hair in a week? They're covering the blonde vs brunette difference (it's huge!), sharing their favourite brushes and products to get the perfect look.
