Am I Cleansing My Face Too Much?

This week in beauty news land... A new MAC lipgloss launch is causing a whole lot of controversy after a number of high-profile beauty influencers said the product wasn't up to par. So being the good little investigative journalists we are, this episode we try the gloss and give our honest review.  And, the TikTok age filter that's making us confront our feelings around getting older.   Plus, after an uncomfortable visit to a beauty store, Erin and Leigh discuss if in person beauty stores need a different approach.
