"Pretty boring middle-aged woman" are words we never want to hear again! On today’s Q&A episode, Leigh and Kelly tackle a heartfelt listener dilemma from Holly, an OG member of the You Beauty community who is feeling a little overwhelmed by an upcoming high-glam, black-tie wedding. From the genius way to get a "free" professional makeup application to the $15 stick-on nails that look like a salon manicure, we’re breaking down the stress-free prep for any big event. 

Plus, in the Beauty Edit, Mollie and Cass deep dive into the Afghan-American makeup artist brand that finally landed at Mecca, and the $34 French pharmacy fragrance found at Big W. Leigh and Kelly also share the three fragrances they’d take to a desert island, including the scent Leigh wore on her wedding day.
