Hello Ana! What’s your favourite skincare product? Welcome to the BIC! @swumbabyy 

[swumbabyy]

Hello! As of right now my favorite moisturizer is the Tatcha cream. I haven’t really found my GO TO cleaners but I’ve lately been trying different ones. And my favorite skin mask is the Aztec Clay Mask, I’ve been using it for a week now and its doing wonders ! I also use Hazel Witch toner.

OoOo I love a good mask recommendation! My favourite is Peter Thomas Roth Irish Moor Mud Purifying Black Mask 5 oz I swear it just sucks everything out of my pores (but doesn’t dry out my skin) and makes my skin look brand new!

Hi everyone. I'm Megan. I'd love to splurge on the hourglass ambient light ghost palette and brushes to go with it, but $80 for the palette alone is a lot

[Anonymous]

Omg you look like my friend Morgan . So cute

[l8totheparty]

You and me both, @MsMAP . I would love to have the ghost Palette!

@MsMAP 

Welcome to the BIC! Those brushes are definitely a splurge for me also. The palette is lovely.

Welcome to BIC @MsMAP! The Hourglass palettes are really nice, but yes, they can be on the pricier side. I like mine (I have the 2018 version); the shades suit my skintone.

[PrettyPaint]

Welcome @MsMAP! I wish I could talk you out of the palette, but it's really nice! 🙂

Hello Gorgeous people! I'm Elle. I'm always on the go and like to keep my beauty regiments simple. Can't leave the house without mascara! I do have hooded eyelids and having a hard time finding a mascara that doesn't run and easy to take off. Any recommendations?

I’ve never met a mascara so perfect. The blinc brand mascara does not clump or run and is easy to take off and I’ve had it for a year . When washing it off it never smears making for an easy removal . No mess. If you give it a chance let me know how you like it . I’d love to see if other people enjoy it as much as I have. Also try L’Oréal color vibrancy rapid revive conditioner. I tried it yesterday and I’ve never ever seen so much of a noticeable difference in texture . I want every one to know about this. It’s a miracle

Welcome @Elle0429 !

Hi @Elle0429 

Have you tried tube mascara before? This is the original Blinc Amplified Tubing Mascara Black it forms tiny tubes around each individual lash, won’t flake or come off if you rub your eyes. When you want to remove, use warm water and pressure and the tubes gently slide off.

Welcome to BIC @Elle0429! I have hooded eyes as well and like LANCôME - Monsieur Big Waterproof Mascara Mini. WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Mascaraholds up pretty well too.

[WinglessOne]

Welcome aboard @Elle0429 ! What works best on my hooded eyes is Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Volume 2 Mascara Black Vinyl Vol 2. I only wear it on my top lashes (I very rarely wear any brand’s mascara on my bottom lashes) and it never smudges on me. It curls my straight lashes so I don’t have to fuss with a lash curler, doesn’t flake all over my face, and doesn’t irritate my weirdly sensitive eyes. It’s my favorite mascara. Removes easily with my usual makeup remover (Paula’s Choice Gentle Touch Makeup Remover). 

I also really like ILIA - Limitless Lash Mascara (I always buy the mini size) because it gives me a more natural “oh hey, I DO have lashes after all” look. 😄 (When your lashes are as straight and hard to see as mine are, it makes a big difference!) It doesn’t smudge on my lids, and it’s flaked on me only once—after I reeally messed with it by continuously brushing my finger against my lashes. It holds up surprisingly well when my eyes go into itchy watery jerk (aka allergy) mode. 

One more option: WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Mascara which also gives me a very natural look but doesn’t curl my lashes nearly as well as the other 2 mascaras I mentioned. But this mascara is fantastic on my bottom lashes! On the rare occasions I do my bottom lashes, I use this stuff. The long narrow brush makes application easy down there. This mascara has a very wet formula that takes a while to dry down. But once it does, it doesn’t smudge, flake, or run when my eyes water.

@Elle0429 Welcome to BIC! I love Lancôme Monsieur Big Volumizing Mascara Standard Size Black - 0.33 oz/ 10 mL

[PrettyPaint]

This is definitely a good one! 🙂

[PenelopeBT]

Hi @Elle0429,

Welcome to BIC! I like using an eyelash primer underneath my mascara to prevent flaking and smudging. I recommend the DIOR - Diorshow Maximizer 3D Triple volume plumping lash primer. For mascara, I like the WANDER BEAUTY - Mile High Club Mascara, which is a favorite here on BIC.

[PrettyPaint]

@PenelopeBT  Oooh, I don't think I've tried the wander mascara before. I'll most definitely need to check this out.
