Leigh and Kelly share their personal experiences with birth beauty prep, plus product recommendations that require minimal effort when you've got more important things to focus on!

Plus, our curly-haired listeners with fine strands rejoice—we're tackling the common problem of curl creams that weigh down delicate curls. Get our full list of lightweight formulas that provide definition without the heaviness.

And don't miss Kelly's genius blush hack for coordinating with bold lipstick colors, plus Leigh's must-have tool that will prevent hot styling tools from burning your carpet (or starting a house fire)!
