Beauty Ice Breakers

[danielledanielle]

BIC is the place to talk about beauty!  There are lots of fun threads, from mask to makeup (and even photo A Year of Beauty- Photography Challenge ) challenges all the way to pet paradise.  In my early days, I kinda wanted to talk to everyone, but I didn't know what to talk about, I just knew I loved makeup and had found my people.

With threads like Monthly Favorites: May 2024 Edition! or
Community Favorite Concealers: Tag your Holy Grails!  , Beauty Pet Peeves 2 I feel the most comfortable when chiming in because I can talk about makeup.  I figured, hey, let's open up some discourse amongst ourselves; a thread with getting to know you questions could be kind of fun.  (And, I still get to talk about makeup.)

photo cred: HelloGiggles

I'll post a question and a phrase with a blank and change it weekly? periodically. Answer one or both.

@CynthieLu  The Sephora Pro brushes are nice. I still frequently use some of those brushes Sephora gifted me. In fact, I loved SEPHORA COLLECTION PRO Crease Brush #19 so much, I bought myself a second one. It's a good multitasker. I hope you enjoy your set! 

[CynthieLu]

Thank you @WinglessOne I'm excited about them for sure.  I visited them in store more than once honestly 😅

[danielledanielle]

@WinglessOne, oh man, what a struggle.  The closest thing I can relate to that is tightlining, but even that's not as much of an issue.  But, at least completely justifiable reason for fab eye brushes.

[WinglessOne]

@danielledanielle  Yeah, I rarely tightline thanks to my dramallama eyeballs. My eyes are also prone to infections, and then there's allergy season(s). Sometimes I'm surprised I can use eyeliner at all. I almost never wear mascara on my lower lashes because of all this. Well, also because I usually make a HUGE mess when I try that—unless I use Wander Beauty Mile High Mascara, which has a nicely shaped and sized wand for that task. 

But yes, I absolutely need the pricey squirrel brushes and the softest goat and synthetic brushes I can find... it has nothing to do with brush aesthetics, nooo, not at all. 🤣

1. I always makes that stupid open mouth mascara face hahahah. 

2. I don’t keep a loves list, but the most expensive item I’m currently considering is the new Hourglass palettes… the elephant one most likely. 

[Saradestin]

I also make faces while applying mascara @alexasteph  😅

[CynthieLu]

@alexasteph lol yes that face we make as we try to get that stuff on 😅

Oooh nice splurge item, they do seem to be very popular 🙂 🦋 🐘 🐅

[danielledanielle]

@alexasteph, yessss live in your truth!

Those HG seem to be a hit, holiday sale goodie!

[Samtian]

Ooh this is fun! 

When I put on mascara, I always _________ manage to get some somewhere it isn't supposed to be. 

And

What is the most expensive item on my loves list? I cleared my list out earlier this year and moved everything to Elfster...but of course it didn't take long to add things. My current top two expensive items are- Tatcha Special Edition Luxury Kiri Set and KILIAN Paris L'Heure Verte Eau de Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL  It's highly unlikely I will ever own either of them lol. Now most expensive that I am likely to get someday DERMAFLASH DERMAPORE Ultrasonic Pore Extractor & Serum Infuser 

[Saradestin]

Those are beautiful items on your wish list @Samtian 

[Samtian]

@Saradestin Thank you!

[missjeanie]

@Samtian  I really need to invest in a Killian sampler set. All of their scents sound so good and the ones I have tried are just lovely! 

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Oh me too! I had one of the sprays that were black and white, but not these ones. 

[danielledanielle]

@Samtian, that's probably my fave answer re: mascara.

That's not a bad idea, transferring loves.  As a kid, I liked holding toys in store.  My Mom couldn't buy it, but I had the satisfaction of having it for a little bit, even though I had to put it back.

[Samtian]

@danielledanielle Lol it's quite sadly the truth about mascara. I did the same as a child, barbies lol. 

[danielledanielle]

@Samtian , yeah! Me too!   Most of the time, it was a Barbie.

[greeneyedgirl107]

@danielledanielle when I put on mascara I always wish for more volume and length. 

The most expensive item on my wishlist is probably Dyson Corrale™ Hair Straightener 

Fun thread!

[Saradestin]

@greeneyedgirl107  😂😂😂 Yes, mascaras tend to fall short sometimes.....

[CynthieLu]

Very valid mascara wish @greeneyedgirl107 😋

[danielledanielle]

@greeneyedgirl107, that is always the wish.

Ohhhhh Dyson 💓💕💸

[danielledanielle]

When I put on mascara, I always _________

OR

What is the most expensive item on my loves list?

My answer:

When I put on mascara I always tilt my head waaay back.

The most expensive at the moment is KILIAN Paris Love Don't Be Shy Icon Set
