@Sunnysmom I’m not sure. I only used the stock check feature on the site and was planning to go find out today 😊

[SportyGirly125]

@Mochapj the stock check by stores isn’t very accurate.  You can always call the store direct and ask. 

[Mochapj]

@SportyGirly125  yes I know, thank you. I've been burned before by the stock check feature 😄

There's only one store in my area that carries PMG and I was going to be close to it today regardless so I thought I'd just pop in 🙂

[SportyGirly125]

@Mochapj I see. I hope they have it. I also learned my lesson with the stock check as most of the time when I was looking for stuff it wasn’t available when it said it was. 

[Mochapj]

@SportyGirly125  I’m not sure how true it is (who can tell sometimes with the stuff store staff says) but I’ve been told by SAs before that products can show up on the store check feature even when they’re ‘in transit’ to the store. I guess technically it’s considered store stock because it’s allocated to that store even when it’s on a delivery truck 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Sunnysmom]

@Mochapj @SportyGirly125 same. I know that can be true also. I’m curious what the real hold up is. I’m going to go back in and ask my other SA friend. Different managers seem to have different spins on stuff. Frustrating. Thanks guys! 

[Mochapj]

@Sunnysmom  Turns out my store doesn’t have them yet either 🤷🏽‍♀️

[Sunnysmom]

Oh well @Mochapj patience for us all I guess! 

[SportyGirly125]

@Mochapj there has been times for me they told me they have it in the back but they can’t sell it to me yet because it hasn’t been released for purchase which sucks. 

[ChristalM]

@Mochapj  Thank you! I guess I will check to see if my store has them 🙂

[ChristalM]

opps nope nothing in stock near me sadly. I guess I will have to wait.

I’m starting to really dig PMG products. Almost everything I’ve tried by PMG have been of high quality, blend like a dream and super pigmented like no other. So glad Sephora carries this brand or I would have never know about it. Best part is all the mini sizes available, so I don’t have to break the bank trying them all. 👍

Just read a good review of the new eyeshadow singles.  This is by Sabrina of The Beauty Look Book.  It has a lot of swatches and gives you a close up look at the colors.  Some of these are really gorgeous.

@sprocketta   Is it just me or would these be so much better if they had a mirror on the lid as well 🙂

[sydtomato]

I love her blog! I always forget to routinely check her new posts so thanks for posting 🙂 @sprocketta

I hate to ask this, but is the mascara performing worse for anyone over time? I bought it the day it came out and immediately fell in love; however, I now can’t wear it without having raccoon eyes by the end of the work day. Nothing else in my routine has changed, so I’m not sure where the problem lies 😕

[ShariCola]

Have any of you ladies tried lash primer? I always use it and I've been wearing the PM mascara almost daily since it launched and I've had zero issues. I also use a ton of UD all nighter, in case you aren't setting everything

[teufel]

It was great when I first got it but after a few weeks, I started flaking and smearing under my eyes too. Interestingly this was the same thing that another much less expensive mascara that happens to have the same look, application, and smell did also. That mascara was L’Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara which I swear must be made by same manufacturer as the PM one. If the two mascaras aren’t twins, they’re at least siblings that could be mistaken for each other. Sucks because I initially really liked the look of both mascaras. The smell, not so much, but both looked beautiful until they started flaking and smearing like crazy. Luckily I got the PM one as a sample from Allure, otherwise I would be really irritated.

[Sunnysmom]

@tastelikewater @TraceyEB Unfortunately I agree as mine has gotten much clumpier over time as well. Odd , it’s usually the opposite for me as I like my new ones to dry out a bit once opened. Like Tracey I only use it as last coat over my regular but it still has gotten worse and also no way can I use it on bottom lashes. A mess. And i dislike smell also 😕

[TraceyEB]

Hi @tastelikewater, there have been fairly consistent reports of smudging since the launch that suggest most would not purchase or repurchase. I'm using my sample on top of other mascaras as that reduces the smudging for me, but won't be buying the regular size. I also experienced flaking when used on its own.

[sonnydee]

I'm the opposite, but I dont wear a full face aka nothing under my eyes except moisturizer. I also have oily lids. it's still my most reached for mascara. @tastelikewater have you tried using a setting spray?
