Instead of a lighter, my mom used to hold her eyeliner up to the bathroom lightbulb...there was always little navy blue dots on the bulb where she got a lil too close sometimes 🤭

brandy ward brings me back in time lol. I’ve done both methods and used to use those wooden hard liners by Maybelline that came as short red wooden pencils and were for both brows and eyes. They were SOOO hard you pretty much had to heat them to use as eyeliner. My poor lightbulb had black blobs all over it from heating up the pencil, and it only heated for a second. If you left it too long it burned the heck out of you.

The Soap and Glory foundation is the exact same formula as the CYO Lifeproof foundation sold at Walgreens. It is the best foundation I have ever used! But, it was re-branded Soap and Glory Kick A** foundation and the price tripled. The CYO will be discontinued as of February 2020. I order online and pick it up at my local Walgreens. I can't lie, I have stocked up on this foundation (I might have 10 bottles?).

Your dupes are always spot on and I was surprised about this Wet and Wild palette. That Anastasia Soft Glam is my favorite one and I had no idea that there was a dupe for it. The colors look exactly the same. I will use your tutorial for my self with the Anastasia palette. I like that you are very positive and kind with your comments. You are not nasty or condescending. It is a pleasure to watch and I will recommend you to my friends and family. Take care and I will be back!

Zabrena, your skin must be poreless because I can't use the e.l.f. camo concealer where you do. It really highlights my pores, & since I am 54 & have fine lines under my eyes, it makes my under eyes look way more crepe-like & wrinkled than they actually are. Now it does work beautifully to cover broken capillaries I'm cursed with (rosacea) on my outer cheeks & chin. I just thought my experience might help some older watchers. God bless you & your newly enlarged family, gorgeous Zabrena!
