You dared us to dive into the unknown and explore new Mecca products we've never tried before. Leigh went budget-friendly, while Kelly followed her heart (and gave her wallet a little workout).

Plus, Leigh's genius (Bear Grylls-esque) host hack for getting your makeup done when you forgot to pack your full kit.
