Replying to @kreativekaren If there’s one long-wear lip pencil worth trying at the drugstore, it’s @Maybelline NY Lifter Lip Liner—The value for the quality is unbelievable! This is a plastic, sharpenable pencil that glides smoothly, lasts all day, and rivals pencils at much higher price points. Here’s a fun fact: many top-tier pencils across beauty categories are manufactured in Germany, where they specialize in high-end pencil production! This is likely why Maybelline’s formula feels so luxe! So If you’re looking to save money in your makeup routine, the pencil category is the perfect place to do it—proven quality without the splurge 🙌 The more you know! #maybelline #lipliner #lippencil #maybeitsmaybelline #beautytok #drugstoremakeup #thelipsticklesbians

I’ve gotten so many DMs, comments, and requests from my beauty queens looking for an extreme longwear, affordable lipstick, and I have to say I would’ve recommended @Maybelline NY's SuperStay in the past, but she’s been dethroned by @revlon’s ColorStay. This lipstick is INSANELY long-wearing to the point where it’s actually hard to come off at the end of the day 😂 Which is great for folks working in healthcare or anyone else who has long hours and still wants their lipstick to stay put. The shades they have are also very versatile and pretty! Have you tried this, queens? She’s budget-friendly and effective—definitely a win! Pro tip - if you use an oil cleanser, she's easy to come off! Used a wipe to show the effect and how long lasting and impressive this one is! #longlastinglipstick #revlon #maybelline #lipstick #beautytok #thelipsticklesbians

While visiting our beauty industry friends in Italy (more on that soon!) 👀 we didn’t realize we had a viral sound trending! And of course, we didn’t have our @Fempower Beauty lipsticks on hand to hop on it 🤣 So, we headed to our manufacturer here in Italy in cosmetics valley (since we were here anyway!!!) and asked if they had any pre-production samples and production benchmarks around, and they did! Here’s our Fempower lipstick in Lilith, the production benchmark, right from the lab & manufacturer in action 💄in other words, this is what is used as a benchmark of quality and color if we were ever to recreate these lipsticks again. Anyway, what do y’all think beauty queens? Does this hack I learned from @Lisa Eldridge’s book work? ##thelipsticklesbians##redlipstick##lipstickhack##makeupchallenge##beautytok

A recent addition to my skincare routine has been toning pads, and since summer, I’ve tried quite a few. Honestly, I just love the feeling of slapping them on my face 😂🙌 No but really, these have been a game changer for my skin recently! These three are my favorite by far: the @skinfood_global Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pads,@Banila Co USA clean it zero and the @Mixsoon US Official Bean Toner Pads—I use all three at different times and for my skins different needs but all will give you that extra boost of hydration. Together, they’ve made my routine feel like a mini spa session. ✨ Have you tried toning pads? I’ve been loving them! #toningpads #toner #skincare #skincareroutine #mixsoon #banilacousa #skinfood #thelipsticklesbians

WHILE WE ARE TAKING A CONTENT PAUSE, WE WILL BE POSTING SOME CONTENT FROM LAST YEAR WE THINK YOU MIGHT ENJOY ❤️ In the GRAND FINALE of our Concealer Showdown 🏖️, we have our last two contestants: @makeupbymario Surrealskin Awakening Concealer and @Haus Labs by Lady Gaga Triclone Skin Tech Concealer going head to head! First up, Make up by Mario. The SurrealSkin Concealer sets incredibly fast, delivering medium coverage without the need for powder. It’s a top performer, especially for those who value convenience and quick application. Next up, we have the Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Concealer going against the Mario. This concealer is a true performer. It excels in terms of long-lasting wear and doesn’t require powder either. It’s a great choice if you prioritize performance and longevity in your makeup. I am in love with the fact that both of these concealers don’t necessarily need any powder at all to set! Both formulas are unique in their own right and I’d also grab each of them for different reasons. But today, THE WINNER IS….👀 The Haus Labs Triclone Skin Tech Concealer for its innovative formula and outstanding performance! Congratulations Haus Labs to the champion of our Concealer Showdown. Haus Labs takes the gold!💄🥇 Remember, although there’s only one gold winner, I love all of these concealers and each of them have qualities that you could be looking for. So buy for your needs, and rewatch this showdown series as many times as you need to! I would love to know who are your favorite concealers from the bunch and why? #makeup #beautytok #concealer #hauslabs #makeupbymario #thelipsticklesbians
