Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

i also really like the elf & glossier.

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@danielledanielle Love a good liquid lippie! 💋💋💋

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

Team MASCARA for this round.  And likely any round lol.  I find that no matter what else I do with my 'look' be it simply a tinted SPF or a full face, mascara is what pulls it together and makes me look like I've actually got my s**t together.  Love me a big natural bristle brush and almost any formula is better after it's been open for a few days.

Love your answer, @pocketvenus! That's a beautiful lipstick set! 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@pocketvenusthat YSL vault is stunning!!! 😍😍😍 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@itsfi I loooooove YSL's packaging for lipstick, I wish they did refills

 

YSL-Volupte-Tint-In-Balm-Review

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@pocketvenus!!! Yes!!! 🙌🏼 And, I love, love, looove that particular silver YSL lipstick packaging the most! 🥰 I would be completely on board if they made their lippies refillable. Here’s hoping! 🤞🏼 There was a period where I must have gone through 5 bullets, and I kept them for the longest time trying to find a way to repurpose them. 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@itsfi I saw some YouTube videos where ppl repurposed high end lipstick tubes by extracting a lip balm from its original tube and placing it in the high end one. They put it in the fridge first to ensure it was firm enough to transport over and visually estimated that the 2 holders were around the same diameter so that it would fit. 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

Oooh, very good to know @Guessgal! Thank you!!! I’ll check out YT!

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@itsfi ahhhhhhhhhh me too! The silver is hands down my favourite design. I can't bring myself to toss them. Thank you @Guessgal, I am going to give this a shot! <333

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

Come one mascara , tho I will forever be shattered that it wasn’t lipstick! 😅

My true favorite is ByTerry Lash Boost but I also love Wander original Unlashed formula because it is natural but amped up and not too wet. Also in rotation would be Victoria Beckham Beauty and Nars Climax Extreme Volume and Lorac Pro Plus Fiber.

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

Wow I can’t believe it came down to brows and mascara’ 

 

i have to go brow! 

Benefit Cosmetics Precisely, My Brow Pencil Waterproof Eyebrow Definer Anastasia Beverly Hills Medium Hold Clear Brow Gel Clear 

Re: Makeup Madness Challenge FINAL ROUND: Mascara vs. Brow Pencil

@TeamBIC  Definitely mascara for

me! Even though I do like to use a brow pencil, my eyebrows aren't too bad on their own and I feel like mascara just makes me look more awake and alert. 👀
Since I have allergies that cause my eyes to constantly water, I have to use waterproof mascara and there doesn't seem to be a whole lot of waterproof options. Lately I've just been using Covergirl Lash Blast 😉
