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 2025 Edition! 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.

@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 

[Saradestin]

This is such a fun thread @danielledanielle ! I love it! 😃😃😃

When I put on mascara, I always _________ on top of making this face 😜 when applying mascara, I always apply first a coat of waterproof mascara to hold the curl and then several coats of volumizing mascara to get the volume I want. If I applied several coats of waterproof mascara, I would not be able to remove it 😅

What is the most expensive item on my loves list? Well, the most expensive item in my wish list ever was Danessa Myricks Beauty Lightwork Vol. IV: Transcendence Palette - Illuminating Eye & Face Pigments and it is already home! 😁 Now the most expensive I have is StriVectin Contour Restore™ Tightening & Sculpting Moisturizing Face Cream 1.7 oz/ 50 mL I try to be realistic when adding products to my wish list and I only add what I can really afford and justify, not what I would love to buy 😊

[danielledanielle]

Thank you @Saradestin , congrats on getting lightworks IV.  Also, fish face for mascara seems to be the default 🤣

[Saradestin]

I am ecstatic about this palette @danielledanielle ! 

[SportyGirly125]

@danielledanielle 

When I put on mascara, I always feel like I make a weird face or have my mouth open.

OR

What is the most expensive item on my loves list? Dyson Dyson Airwrap™ multi-styler Complete and Dyson Corrale™ Hair Straightener 

[Saradestin]

Oh yes @SportyGirly125 ! I am on the “weird face mascara moment club” as well! 

[CynthieLu]

Oooh that Dyson Dyson Airwrap™ Styler Complete Long is so amazing looking @SportyGirly125 . It lives in my dream wish list too!

[danielledanielle]

Heh, @SportyGirly125 a friend of mine posited why do we make the face, and we kind of landed on "to open up that area."  My face shape doesn't really do that when I make the fish face, but if I tilt may head waay back and blink in to the wand, it does the same thing.

Wow, I did not think the Airwrap cost that much 😶

[faeriegirl]

When I put on mascara, I always feel so much better.

The most expensive item on my loves list is Westman Atelier Vital Skincare Dewy Foundation Drops Atelier 0 

[Saradestin]

I agree with you in the mascara statement @faeriegirl ! My eyes are never done without mascara, such a difference!

[danielledanielle]

Awww, that's kind of nice @faeriegirl 

Westman Atelier looks so luxe

[AlexBT]

@danielledanielle omg i love this! I wanna play.

When I put on mascara I always have to get every single little baby lash in each corner - tarte tartelette™ tubing mascara Black has a really good wand for this!

aaaaand

The most expensive item on my loves list is the Dr. Lara Devgan Scientific Beauty Vitamin C+B+E Ferulic Serum 1 oz/ 30 mL! Someone recommended it to me awhile back, but I have yet to make the splurge...

[danielledanielle]

Yay @AlexBT !  And you brought tubing tips!

[txcatx]

@danielledanielle Not at Sephora, I don't think, but the most expensive item on my wishlist is the YSL custom lip color creator ($299) and all the cartridges ($89/set of three)! It looks like such a fun gadget, though.

 

[ChristalM]

@txcatx me too! I am scared though. I bought the Go Play version and it is (was?) awful! The cartridges don't click out even amounts for the mixing recipe and then they broke and/or dried out. I mean this is YSL so I hope it would be better but now I am scared.

[Loretta55]

Wow, that looks like a great idea @txcatx!

[quspork]

This looks like it would be so much fun to play around with, @txcatx.
