[@gabriellamaddiex3505]

This was probably the best comparison video I’ve ever seen. You had high end and drug store and compared them side by side and you had a lot of choices. Also you showed us actually putting them on and removing them which is so helpful. When KZbinrs just sit there droning on and on about items without showing us how they apply my mind wanders and I loose interest. Great job!! Unbiased as well, you can tell you’re not sponsored.❤

[@jacquiwinter6282]

Well said! You echoed my thoughts. 💕

Oh that is so incredibly kind of you to say!!! That just was so very affirming to me and I can't thank you enough. I hope you have a blessed rest of the week. Love, Melissa

For me nothing beats L'Oréal voluminous mascara and there paradise mascara. I have tried them all cheap and expensive and these two are what I have been using for the last 4 years.

[@melissaculpepper7663]

I absolutely love Loreal’s original voluminous mascara! It’s so buildable and stays soft and comes off easily!

[@Melissa55]

That is so great. You know if you find a good mascara that works, it really does make a different. Thank you and have a blessed week!

[@heidimeigs5192]

I was always a Maybelline mascara customer, but the whole mess of politically correct pandering made me furious. So I started experimenting and luckily discovered L’Oréal right off the bat. I’ve been using it ever since. I actually don’t wear makeup very often….I’m somewhat of an old hippie-ish gal. I have never heard of “tubing” used to describe mascara though. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@user-yi4nr1kv2m]

First time I’ve heard it called tubing mascara

[@RhondaLM24]

I love the tubing mascaras. A little trick I figured out taking it off, after I get my lashes wet with hot water I keep my eyes closed and use a spooly to brush my lashes. It comes right off instead of pulling or rolling it off. And you are so beautiful.

[@melissaculpepper7663]

Great tip! Thank you!

I know we’re our own worst critics, but never talk down about yourself. No one would notice anything negative while you were washing your face but you, I saw no jowels no bad angles nothing love thy self. Tube expert 🥰😆

[@Melissa55]

I know but It's just so hard for me. And I haven't been able to change in all these years. I had a super super critical mom, so I got in the habit of heading off the negative criticism ahead of time. Like Ok, I know my (fill in the blank) looks terrible mom, but I didn't have time to work on it this morning. It was hair, clothes, my kids, my spouse, my eyebrows, my makeup, my voice, , my, well you get the idea. Whew, sorry. I didn't mean to open up like that. lol.

Love you! hugs. ☀️🐰

[@melissaculpepper7663]

@@Melissa55Boy, I hear you and the same here. However, we tear down God’s workmanship in us when we do that. I started just attacking those voices in my head and countered them with the Word of God and what He says about me! Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he comes only to steal, kill, and destroy! I pray you will start tearing down those thoughts and taking them captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus! We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Glory be to God the Father!!! You are His image-bearer! You shine His light so beautifully! We love you, Melissa!

[@Melissa55]

That is so incredibly kind Kristi. Thank you.

[@lgrillo]

I use a different method for removing tubing mascara which I think is better because you're not putting that glop down the drain. I use a Neutrogena make-up wipe to take off the make-up, then run the water until warm/hot and wet the wipe under the water. Press the warm wipe up to your eyes a few times, then use the same “pinching” technique you showed, but with the wipe! All the tubes come off on the wipe and you can just disard it.

[@Melissa55]

Oh that's a good hint. Thank you so very much. I always learn something new with each video. I sure appreciate it. 💞💞💞

[@sandramatras8345]

I struggle with pink eye quite often so I have to replace my mascara more frequently than it would actually expire. Because of this I mostly use inexpensive mascaras (because who can afford to buy a high end product six to eight times a year on a fixed income?) and I've bought the Catrice one a couple of times this year. It is excellent!

[@robinallgold360]

Hello Melissa! I was watching your video on our tv and our son's girlfriend came into the room, so I asked her how old did she think you were and she said "early 50's". I told her you were 68 and she said, "Wow, no way" and then told me that is how old her grandmother was and she looks 68. You do look good! Thanks for comparing the mascaras. I think I will give the Milani a try. Hope you have a blessed day!

[@Melissa55]

awwww, that is so sweet of her! Please thank her for me. But it scares me to think of me on a tv instead of a tiny screen on a phone. lol. But I sure do thank you, Robin. Love to you.

[@57athina]

Trish McEvoy is one of the pioneers of the tubing mascara along with Blinc and she offers two different types of brushes to achieve different looks. We would sell out all the time women would buy 3 at a time. Blinc wasn’t as good. My favorite now is the Thrive. I literally get compliments all day long when I wear Thrive mascara.

[@Melissa55]

I used them several years ago and I remember being amazed. And then for some reason I got away from using her products. I had one of those little books that you could add your products to. I just looked and they are still in business. I'm going to have to do another shop with them. Thank you so much!

[@victoriaprogris9820]

@@Melissa55yes that's one of the beauty lines I worked for. I would do makeovers and build those planners up for the customers. Great organization and customization for travel and home ❤ I've retired but still use her products. The company is still privately owned by Trish.

[@dvanhottie]

I like Thrive a lot except the price. Bought the Milani and I like it just as much. Tried the new Elf tubing one and still like the Milani better. Thanks for the review!

[@Melissa55]

I thought the Milani was very comparable, too. I haven't tried the Elf yet, but the Milani is hard to beat. I appreciate it!

[@janac2881]

So glad you taught us about Victoria Beckham products I’ve been keeping her in business 😂. Love everything 💗. Jana - Texas

[@Melissa55]

Oh Jane!!! I have too. There is just something a little special about them. Thank you so much!

[@Marielama-gd7ur]

Same problem as you : most mascaras smudge and I do not like waterproof mascaras. In 2017 I discovered the Clinique tubing mascara. Bought it as once, quite happy, even if it does not transform my lashes into "dream" lashes. But it does the job and never smudged. Easy to take off. I bought the Milani recently and it is definitely my favourite because it is very "generous", thickens my lashes and is easy to clean. Plus the price which is quite low and it is available nowhere. By the way the Maybellline Sky High does not smudge at all, but the Fireworks does.... Thanks for the video.

[@Karenkaza1]

Hi Melissa, I was looking back at this video and thought that if you happen to see my comment; the Ulta inside theTarget store has buy one get one free of the Tartlet mini tubing mascara thru June 29th. Plus several other mini products! I like buying the minis, especially the mascara because I know I will use it up before the expiration date. 🌺

[@heather-cz8yk]

Maybelline mascaras that say washable on the front package are tubing too! The pink Lash Paradise from L Oreal also.

[@Melissa55]

Thank you for the heads up! I'll watch out for them.

I e been experimenting with tubing mascaras…tarte was my favorite for years, but I’m still trying new to me ones. I do think if you apply primer potion to lashes first it helps a lot. You look beautiful! ❤

[@Melissa55]

That's an idea too of the primer. Does it make the tubes do differently? Do you need a special like tubing primer? Thank you in advance!!!

Lune & Aster makes imho, the best tubing mascara called Eclipse. Blue Mercury carries their line and I never hear anyone mention it. I’ve tried my fair share of them including several of the ones you mentioned. It’s a very wet formula which I like because most of them are quite dry. A tube lasts forever.

[@Melissa55]

I have never heard of that mascara, but I am intrigued now. Thank you for the heads up!!!

[@kwclove7623]

All your efforts are so appreciated. This was so interesting to watch. Mabelline Sky High Tubes are worth trying too!

[@lynniepie52]

I love the tartlet mascara as well… Thrive was the first tubing mascara. I tried, and I do still like it but I would choose the tart over that one any day. You are looking fabulous, so keep up your recovery… take time when you need it💕

[@tanyawood275]

This comparison video was a good one. You not only showed the application but the taking it off as well. Good job and in the end I have to agree with you!

Thrive is my vibe! It lengthens and coats very well. No flaking, or smearing. Tubes are great!

I love the Milani tubing mascara. I wear it every day,no smearing 😅r flaking at all. For decades i was unhappy with dark circles under my eyes all the time. With this I put a warm soft washcloth on my eyes and really gently rub off. I bought it at Ulta on sale.

[@faerie_waters]

I think the Victoria Beckam gave your lashes a little lift on the outer edge, which is very flattering! Maybe that's part of what you liked? Tubing mascaras have changed my life! They walk the line between a traditional mascara and a waterproof one - best of both worlds, imo! Thank you for sharing all these options! The It Cosmetics has been my go-to, but now I have others to try!

Thank you so much for doing this Melissa. It's brilliant. So detailed. I loved it. I have very sick eyes and think that tubing is the way to go for me but it's a minefield. I have a couple of eye surgeries coming up but will definitely give that tartlette one a try when I can wear makeup again. Second choice will be the catrice for me as I bought their foundation on your recommendation and I love it. I'd never heard of them before. Love Carole xx

Hi sweet Melissa. What an incredible job you did on this comprehensive comparison of tubing mascaras. So interesting and informative. I don't think I've ever used a tubing mascara. Your video makes me want to absolutely try them. I too get the underneath raccoon eyes, no matter how I set them. And also, I like volume, and from what I've heard, tubing mascaras were just for length. But I definitely see volume with your lashes. There's actually a brand new Bartlett tubing mascara. I think it's the XL version. Thank you for the wonderful demonstration! Love you bunches. ❤❤🥰

[@MaryEllenAfter60]

Loved how you filmed this comparison video, Melissa. I know what you mean regarding the way a wand grabs, and coats the lashes. In my early days of KZbin I tried the Blinc tubing mascara, and did like it. Then I tried the regular Superhero, and Have stuck with it ever since. But, I have to say, you've tempted me to try tubing mascara again. Love you, my beautiful friend...MaryEllen

[@phoebepurvis3630]

Your makeup looks AMAZING, you look so fresh , pretty I love your simple (looking) cateye makeup. It really lifts your eyes

[@Melissa55]

Thank you, Phoebe! I did do it a different way. I follow a KZbin tutorial. hahahahah. Many thanks,

[@karenw9370]

I'm so glad that you did this comparison I've been wondering about the tubing mascaras. Thanks!

[@emo333vampire]

Caliray! THE BEST 🦋

[@TheDawgies]

Great reviews, thank you! I found your video showing how you do this hairstyle. Excellent! Also, do you know the hair color or technique your hair stylist uses? The color is amazing! Robin

[@karenejkleinfineart]

Hi Melissa, A great and through comparison of different tubing mascaras. Thanks so much for doing the research. I hope you have a beautiful day! Love, Karen

[@Risingphoenixx66]

Hi from The Netherlands, the Milani one was absolutely my favourite. You,re beautiful by the way too🖐️

[@vera214T]

Thank you for the review. You did a thorough explanation on these tubing mascaras. I have the Milani and I really like it. The Victoria Beckham looks great on you. ❤

[@suzetteshares]

Thank you, young lady. =) I am going to try one. I have been avoiding mascara for the same reasons you mentioned. I have instead been going to a day spa and having my lashes tinted every few weeks.

[@sandragill714]

I like the way you did your hair

[@Melissa55]

Oh thank you!!! I appreciate it!

[@rhondag9717]

Love love love this hairstyle… perfect makeup… Wow, Melissa, you’re looking so rejuvenated, ❤❤❤✨

[@Melissa55]

Oh thank you so very much!

[@InfinityHealthPilates]

Best one I’ve tried is Tartlette XL. Got it from QVC 2 for $37. It’s been the best I’ve used. Easy way to remove with warm water and a cotton pad. I just love it. Huge lashes.

[@rxstrmom]

Ok…Ive tried the Thrive and the Milani and liked neither of them mainly because they were way too messy for me so I just gave up on them. (by messy I mean in removing them) as few months ago I started powering my eyelashes (and brows) and I have no more “smearing” or transfer of my mascara. I suppose it's because the powder is absorbing any oils from my skincare or fingers..dont know but it’s working! I use whatever shadow is on my brush from my eyeshadow application. Go figure? As always you did a fantastic job on this review…love ya..patti

[@Melissa55]

That sounds like a really good way to get it to stay, Patti! And the fact you discovered what works is such a bonus. I think 99 percent of "beauty" is finding out what works for us. Lots of makeup, not makeup and everything in between. I love it so much!!! Thank you and Love to you!

[@SixtiesWoman]

I thought I was the only one who struggled for years with mascara smudging. I’m surprised at the Thrive and Milani comparison. When I tried Milani it was sooooo liquidy and wouldn’t build, whereas the Thrive was fantastic. I have had the Thrive in blue before - I didnt care for that one at all, so I wonder if the colours affect things. I haven’t tried any of the others you showed, except the Panda Eyes (rubbish - smudged everywhere) so I have a few new ones on my list now. Currently the ELF is my go-to. Fabulous result with a low cost…win-win.

[@Karenkaza1]

Hi Melissa, I love the tubing mascaras too. My favorite is the Tarte and sometimes I buy the travel size for $15. My 2nd favorite is the Milani. Interesting comparisons! What I didn't know is how to wash them off. I've just been using a mascara remover, so I'll have to try the water way. Thanks for doing these. Your hair looks fabulous. ❤

[@1cruiselvr656]

I use thrive mascara. My go to remover is Vaseline. I've been using it since I started wearing mascara in the 60s. Yes, I'm old but still wear makeup and mascara.

[@lindaw1496]

Hi Melissa, you look Beautiful! Tubing mascaras are the best... when they are Truly tubing. Sometimes a particle gets in my eye and they flake but overall they are long lasting and cleaner. Most mascaras... even waterproof... smudge on me. A Big factor for me is that a mascara doesn't make a whole smeared mess when removing it as well. I've always used L'Oréal Double Extend Tubing and lately it's flaking. Also it isn't easy to find Tubes that thicken but they have improved. Will try Tartlette😍🥰

[@jeanjacobs9965]

Greetings Melissa! Thanks for trying all of these out for us. I have trouble with mascaras flaking off on me for some reason. I try to find some that don't do that, but I haven't been too successful. Your hair looks gorgeous today! Love and blessings ♥️🙏

[@Peridot500]

I love that Tartelette mascara. Haven’t tried the VB. But I sure love her pencil,eyeliners.

[@citizenjoevotes]

This is the best comparison I have ever seen. Thank you so much!

[@Melissa55]

That is so kind of you to say. Thank you!

[@DebbieHerbert]

I use the purple thrive on my lower lashes and the Milani on the top lashes. Looking forward to trying the tartlette when I run out!

[@debpalm8667]

Thanks for the comparison, Melissa. Appreciate it.

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for doing this. I tried the milani & it is good. You're beautiful, even looking down into the mirror. I'm so very grateful that you're here !

[@Pine4gap]

Thank you for this information, I am anxious to try the ELF but it is hard to find. It is really nice to see you’re doing so well after surgery. You’re a sweet lady.

[@penneydunn8850]

Thank you for doing this. Never heard of tubing mascara until recently.

[@margarethogan4882]

a great review Melissa. Great to see you looking well. Hope you are getting better.. Slow process ❤

[@coredadventure1]

You are brave for bending forward on KZbin LOL I bent forward the other day dusting my mirrored nightstand and I was just flabbergasted at how I looked I thought I will never let anybody look at me bent over ever ever ever ever ever ever ever LOL and you look great !!!

[@ambsat]

Wow...the video I didn't know I needed, Melissa! So well done...great, detailed, systematic comparisons, as well as "bottom-lining" it all for us, and making clear price comparisons, that you repeated in your wrap up. Tubing mascara is all new to me - I've never understood or tried any, never thought I'd see the need to. Still not sure it's for me, as I like to just swipe my Neutrogena wipes to take off makeup every night. This may be a little too much fuss for me. Plus I don't really have trouble with mascaras smearing or traveling on me. That said...you've made me curious....I may just try it sometime, as I won't know until I try it if it's something that improves my eyelash look. Last, I agree with others...I love your hair tutorials and yours looks fabulous here! If you have a video on that already and can advise would love to know how you got this look...or else would love to see one done. Have a great day, & thank you for this video!

[@neanea1173]

That was good! From over here the Tart and Essence looked the best.

[@MzVicky]

The Essence one did nothing for me and I'll be honest that one flaked so bad I had wash my eyes when I went home at lunch that day. I threw that tube away and never used it again. The KVD didn't work for me either. That one stung my eyes and I agree the Tartlette is the best and you can buy a travel size if people don't want to buy a full tube. Tarte has great sales. I'm ordering two different tubing mascaras this week. Great video Melissa. xoxo

[@christinemack2153]

Great demos! You may also enjoy the DHC tubing mascara. Lisa Eldridge recommended it years ago and it's a really good one.

[@jamisongee1176]

Well after that terrific video you've convinced me to try. Not too sure which brands I can find but that's half the fun of trying new products. X

[@leoramessinger6795]

Thank you for a thorugh review. In Israel Catrice is available in many Drugstores,as in Europe. I will buy this one, since I never expeerienced tubing mascara, as a bit fearfull of the "unknown".

[@Eve_Y]

It seems like you're a big fan of Catrice! I noticed that you've made two videos about them, and now you're trying out their mascara too. That's really cool!

[@cheapskatesnob]

Melissa you’re gorgeous, my mom is a little younger than you and you look my age! I love the Tartlette mascara I’m glad to see another fan I hope Tarte never discontinues it, it’s the only tubing mascara I’ve used.

[@cheapskatesnob]

Just adding I use makeup remover balm and follow up with Olay daily facial cloth.

[@Melissa55]

You are very kind to say that and I bet your mom is just gorgeous. Oh I hope doesn't discontinue it either, but knowing my luck, they will. lol. Thank you so much!
