On today’s Q&A episode, Leigh and Kelly tackle a listener’s fear that her $18 vitamin C might just be expensive water. Is there a minimum you should spend on actives to know they're working, or are those $200 serums just better at marketing?

Plus, Kelly reveals the top-rated recommendations for tight-lining that she found in the depths of the internet, while Leigh shares the $4.50 Priceline gem that actually stays put on your waterline. 

And in a classic "do as we say, not as we do" moment, the hosts share a cautionary PSA about why you should never, ever try a new makeup technique (looking at you, underpainting) when you have exactly 25 minutes to leave the house.
