Please leave a comment down below if your having trouble deciding what mascara, lipstick, lipstain or eyeliner to get at the drugstore. I know it's intimidating but I got a nice little stash of products that I've tried that have failed & that I absolutely love. Just be specific on what your looking for, what you want to avoid/stop or the price you want to spend or any preferences you might have. I'd love to recommend a drugstore product for you(:
Don't be shy even if it's just a makeup problem or advice you need, ASK, no question is dumb! I'd love to help!

Do you have any info on the maybelline illegal lengths mascara? I know it contains fiber to make them longer but I'm worried the formula is going to be dry like the L'oreal false fiber. (I like wet formulas haha) thanks!

Hi KASSY: I have not tried that mascara but I have read reviews on it cuz I thought about buying it as well lol & well from what I've seen the reviews go both ways but most girls tend to say it clumps easily and that its an OK Mascara /:
I would recommend the Maybellines "The Rocket" or even L'Oreals Voluminous. Have you tried either of those? They're both super great & give you awesome length but don't let it dry between applying coats for best results, OH & I should mention that I bought both these mascaras in waterproof I find the formula holds a curl better, harder to take off but olive oil gets it off(:
COLETTE: Sounds like your eyelashes are already great, that's awesome :D
Ouch that's lame, yeah I'd recommend the Maybellines Mega Plush Volume Express its an aqua tube & it's super natural & gel formula which is unheard of right now so Yay! don't have to worry about it changing your eyelash colors. & yes I believe its like 6,7 dollars? I bought it in Waterproof cuz I prefer the formula but you can get the original if you'd like, not sure how the original is though so yeah. You decide which you'd like to go with.

How do you like the Maybelline Color Whispers and the Covergirl jumbo gloss/balms- have you tried them? The Vivids by Maybelline look great- I'd love to get the fuchsia one at some point. Olay has a new BB Cream, do you know about those ones too?

FIRST OFF SORRY FOR THE DELAY!
Trinity: Aww your my sisters age(':
I can not go a day without wearing eyeliner on my eyes, I feel weird lol. Is this for your top or lower lid? Because I use different formulas depending on if it's in the top or inside of my eye. Also do you wear contacts?
JULIANNE: I love the Maybelline Color Whispers, the formula is very shiny glossy look & I'm a matte lipstick girl so I was surprised I liked it so much. It's prob because it feels so moisturizing. I have not tried the covergirl jumbo balms. BUT the Maybelline Vivids I've been wanting to try. I have a card for Target so I think I'm ganna go pick up the "Vivid Rose" shade, such a pretty pink. I don't use Bb creams so I prob. won't try that one. The Fuchsia is such a daring color very very pretty :D

What's the best foundation from the drug store

Any chance you'd be able to recommend me a fibre lash extension mascara that is cruelty free other than Hard Candys? If there is one.. Haha.

What do you think about the Baby Lips lip balms? There are so many mixed reviews!
haha and also, any recommendations on a good, soft, dense powder foundation brush? I don't really want to spend any more than $20 or $25 on it, as I've only got my first job, and I have a lot of other stuff I have to get too! haha xD thanks! (:

CHANTAL & SAMREEN: I would NOT recommend Revlon Colorstay unless your sure your skin is not sensitive & don't go near it if your skin does not need the coverage. That foundation broke me out horribly /: I would recommend the L'Oreal True match it's said to be noncomedogenic & has a lot of ranges of colors. But if you really want to spend a few more on your skin & go with a higher end foundation I say Lancome Idole Ultra 24. I use that one all the time because it's very natural build-able and not to heavy on the skin & also noncomedegnic. If you're ever ganna put anything on your skin for 4 or more hours I always say it better be okay for the skin & not clog your pores. Go into your Sephora & ask to get color matched & take a sample home, doesn't hurt to try it out & you can use a drugstore powder if you'd like(:
It may be pricey but the bottle lasts a long time & at least you don't have to go through the hassle of getting the wrong color because you couldn't test it out at the drugstore. If you do end up buying a foundation from the drugstore take a concealer or a foundation that is your color with YOU so you at least get an idea. Hope I helped girls!
MEGAN: Hmmm I haven't really heard of one thats cruelty free but check back on this thread if I do find something I'll answer but keep in mind I prob. wouldn't have tried it but if you want me to research for you I'd be happy to do that(:
CD: You know I also wanted to purchase them because the idea of a tinted chapstick is super cool but after reading the reviews I decided to pass & I ended up finding a super moisturizing underdog tinted lip balm at Sally's. I recommend that one, if you'd like I can post a pic of it so you can decide whether or not your interested. & about the foundation brush you mean a brush to apply your powder foundation like mineral makeup? hahaha no worries the best deals are the great quality ones that save you money lol (:

What's the best gel liner that comes with a brush? I'm a beginner at gel, I've only used pencil before.

Feb 19, 2013

Emily C.

Or a very good liquid liner if you think it's easier to move from pencil to liquid or pencil to gel.

What is a really good blush for light Asian skin tone? And what is your favorite powder from the drugstore?

What's the best cream eyeliner from the drugstore?

Feb 19, 2013

EMILY & TIFFANY: You both have a similiar question but First let me address Emily's question, I think gel is prob. easier to shift to after only using pencil just because the consistency is more creamier and you can correct it quicker than using a liquid. But definitely pick up liquid when you feel your ready. It all takes practice.
NOW. Go with Maybelline's lasting drama, it comes with a brush applicator which I use and is super useful, Target and Walmart sell it at around the same price, this is how it looks(:

KANN: GO TO YOUR LOCAL SALLY's NOWW! I only get my blushes from there by Femme Couture but the other day I heard they were discontinuing the blush..I guess cuz it's such an underdog but it's because many don't try it. So right now it should be discounted & if you can get your hands on the shade "Tuscan Rose" I say go with that one. Super Natural. I'll post a pic of how they look for you, it's a mineral makeup...pair that with the Elf's blush brush and your golden(;

What would you say about neotrogenas skin clearing mineral powder. I have an oily t zone but I have some spots that get really dry. I just had my finals at school so all the stress made me break out a bit.

What is a good tinted moisturizer or bb cream? I've never tried either before

Feb 21, 2013

Hana A.

Thanks for all the questions girls! Have some patience as I get to each of your questions. My replys are usually long thats why lol
LAUREN: Try Wet'and Wilds blush in Pearlest Pink.. It does have shimmer in it though but it is bearable. Looks like this, I've been wanting to buy Nars Orgasm because they say this blush is similar to it. Try it out see how you like it, Also Elf has some nice blushes in their line(: ORRR like I said before go to your Sallys and pick up Femme Couture's Mineral blush, its being discontinued & that's the blush I use all the time so try to get your hands on one before it's gone ):
MEGAN: Lol aww okay good luck hunting for your product, I admire you choosing to use cruelty free products(:
JULIANNA:?!?? I'm sorry, I'm confused are you suggesting products to the girls or asking which I prefer?(:
MELISSA: Great Natural one is Maybellines aqua tube Volume Express it's a gel formula which at the moment is kinda unheard of orrrr MY BIG LASHES GO TO's Are Loreals Voluminous or Maybellines the Rocket. I use the waterproof formulas as I find they hold a curl better and wear longer but you can try the original formula too. Olive Oil takes it right off though(:
KAITLYN: For the felt tip liner that doesn't smudge I use a nondrugstore one but one drugstore eyeliner that does not smudge WHATSOEVER but is not felt tip is by Milani and it's called Infinite but is a liquid liner. I'll test some out & get back to you if you'd like. For Mascara look back to my response to Melissa (above yours) The aqua tube does not clump AT all but the other ones don't really either but a helpful tip that you can do with any mascara to avoid clumping is get a tissue paper or toilet paper and gently wipe off the excess then apply to your lashes, I do it sometimes when my mascaras start to get old or are by nature clumpy /: But like I said the Voluminous and Rocket don't really give me that problem. Hope I helped(:
AMBER: If you like matter mixed with sparkle & need a guide to how to do a smokey eye I say L'oreals. I own two of these, this is one and the other is to do a black smokey eye

If you like some shimmer I recommend the "Color Icons" by Wet and Wild they're pigmented and you get your moneys worth for them.
