I feel pretty--NOT! THE COSMETICS THREAD

That's so funny re tenderheart. I also used to love it. I'm talking like 20 years ago but at one point it was my favorite neutral lipstick. The only other one that I've ever liked as much was a Bourjois one I got in France which has also been discontinued. I had completely forgotten about Tenderheart. Glad you found something similar. I have the LE lipgloss in Muse but rarely use it. Will have to find it and try it again.

People have likened that CG lipbalm to the tinted Niveas you can get here.

Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liner is extremely good. I got one for Christmas and now I want all the colours.

Yep. Best eyeliner I've ever used.

I think I agree!

I'm pissed that they increased the price. It might now be too much for me to purchase on the reg. I wear Cocoa almost every day but also have the Sea Grey and Navy Noir. My one complaint is that it disappears really quickly. I feel like every time I sharpen it I lose an inch.

They really are exceptionally good. I think most luxury makeup is overrated but those stupid eyeliners really are that good.

I feel like such a sucker for every kind of lip oil that’s released especially if they’re tinted because I just want to find one of those products that’s the perfect mix of hydrating with colour and they usually never really deliver on the first part.

ELF lip oils in Rose Envy & Red Delicious (awful names btw) - 9/10 for Rose Envy, 3/10 for Red Delicious

Rose Envy is a really nice pink that reminds me of this Stila lip colour they used to do in a kind of peony pink? It’s not red looking as per that swatch photo, more kind of an old rose? Very nice.

Red Delicious is a sheer red, but like, so sheer that I’m like, did they put a clear one in this package by mistake? The problem is with lip oils is that you’re not going to build it, it’s just kind of there? Anyway, what a waste of money. On second thoughts, going 2/10 for the name being especially terrible.

Burts Bees Hydrating Lip Oil with Sweet Almond Oil - 0/10

There’s a part in Kyoko Okazaki’s Pink that I always think of fondly:

I woke up the morning after applying this and I was like, wait, did I forget or something? But I’d left the newly opened package by the bed so I hadn’t. Sandpaper city. Genuinely a waste of money.

^^^valuable info, ty

Honestly may favorite balm is bog standard chapstick or burt's bees OG

I need to retract my Heroine Make mascara bashing upthread.

Once my lash lift grew out of the wonky stage, and I could use a lash curler without bizarro results, I really like the mascara and would buy again!

I love a lash lift for like two weeks, and then my new lashes start growing in and shit looks wonky for a month.

There is only one lipstick thing that's ever looked good on my lips, it was in an m&s advent calendar and then the bastards stopped making it

I started using that CG lip balm a little bit ago when I ran out of the lipstick I was using and couldn't afford to buy any more--I had some already (I thought it was too bright and stopped using it) and started using it again. It looks good.

This never really happened to me until this time, it did. I swear the new ones are growing back pointing down.

My best ever was my first one, I'm still chasing that high!

VB has free shipping atm and you lot are tempting me with the eyeliners...

i've been shellacking all sorts of Clinique black mascara on my lashes and honestly, i'm obsessed

i don't even comb it through literally just let it clump and define

Kinder - the only reason not to is because all other eyeliners will pale in comparison. Honestly.

I got the VB eyeliner and you were all right, it's perfect! went on so easily I was sure it was going to slide right off again, but nope.

The Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl is one of the best "basic" ones imo so that's my everyday.

Oooh ok, I will try that one! Someone else recommended the Kiko ones so they're on my radar too.
