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: December 2023 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.

What lipstick (s) do you carry in your purse/bag/satchel? KVD Beauty Everlasting Longwear Liquid Lipstick Outlaw or whatever one I'm wearing for the day. Usually a trusted liquid. 

My signature makeup look is _________...I don't have one. 

[Saradestin]

I love those liquid lipsticks @Samtian!

[Samtian]

@Saradestin Yes!! Have you tried the new ones out? I want to but haven't yet.

[Saradestin]

@Samtian No, I have not tried them yet. 

[danielledanielle]

@Samtian, KVD lippies, they were definitely a thing.  I wish they kept the shade range going, but eh.

That's funny, because when I lurk, peruse other threads, to me, you have a look.  Usually there's a wash/blend of shadow and a bold lip.

[Samtian]

@danielledanielle Awe thank you! I wish they kept the range too. So many I wanted and never got. 

[Saradestin]

Yes @danielledanielle , I am still looking for a dupe for my Bow and Arrow 😭

[danielledanielle]

@Saradestin 😞

When I put on mascara, I always _________ ...uhm...I have trichotilomania--I pull out my eyelashes and eyebrows--so I don't use mascara.

OR

What is the most expensive item on my loves list?  CHANEL N°5 L’EAU 

[danielledanielle]

@Titian06, I never thought about that with eyelashes.  When I've heard of it, I'm used to thinking about hair on your head, and recently: brows.  I was listening to an audiobook last night (Will Smith) and he briefly referred to it when he started to tweeze his brows during a self-imposed silence retreat.

Chanel...classic!

@danielledanielle when I apply mascara,,, I always use at least 3 different kinds!!

My most expensive item thanks to @Ispend2much6 for sharing samples... Lol is KILIAN Paris Roses On Ice Eau De Parfum 1.7 oz/ 50 mL 

[danielledanielle]

@lmaster, 3 mascaras?!?  That's quite a cocktail.  I'll try two every now and then, but that's rare.  What's your main reason for three?  I'm curious.

[lmaster]

@danielledanielle each one builds up so I get a good dark end result, some lengthen some add volume and some comb through to seperate 

[danielledanielle]

@lmaster , 👌🏼👌🏼, it's all about the end result.  I do my brows with pomade, pencil and powder.

Fun thread @danielledanielle !  When I use mascara I always apply it after I put in my contacts.  Since the contacts aren't the bifocal kind, it's always an adventure putting on my eye makeup, especially liner and mascara because I can't see exactly what I'm doing.

The most expensive item on my list is KILIAN Paris Intoxicated . 

[danielledanielle]

@Ispend2much6, so putting on mascara for you is kind of like "choose your own adventure" 😂  , but hey, after awhile you kinda figure out something, right?

Yeah, I remember first seeing Killian and then seeing the price tag, and just..going at it slowly.  I'm glad they make travel sprays for some of the scents, makes you feel a little bit better when indulging, I suppose.

Love the thread idea @danielledanielle ! 
im joining the crowd with having my mouth open for mascara! I can’t talk or do anything but have my mouth open lol! 

most expensive on my list was the Dyson Dyson Airwrap™ Styler Complete Long … it’s still there, but I snagged one right when the sale started last night! 

It will now be the Consonant HydrExtreme 1 oz/ 30 mL … 150$ for a serum….maybe someday.

[Saradestin]

Yes! Another open mouth mascara moment in the house @missjeanie ! 🙋🏻‍♀️

[Loretta55]

Wow congratulations @missjeanie !

[Samtian]

@missjeanie Wooo great catch!!
