Writer Virginia Sole-Smith is smiling because she's no longer in cosmetology school.

This week we welcome writer Virginia Sole-Smith to the Fat Mascara studio so she can tell us about her behind-the-scenes experiences in the beauty and health industry—including what it's like to be all up in a stranger's business giving her a Brazilian wax. (Hint: She's thinking about how much her back hurts, not your vulva.)

We also discuss the Jidue Eye Massager, the new lip filler Juvederm Volbella XC, and what to do about gray hair. The products mentioned include Clairol Natural Instincts semi-permanent hair color and Color Wow Root Cover Up.

Finally, we raise a freakin' want to Waxelene, a non-synthetic petroleum jelly alternative, and YSL Mascara Vinyl Couture in 3 Green.
