Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/coloring: MAC NC 20

What eye products are in your bag/on your desk? I don’t have a bag on my desk. At work or home. At work the only think for the eye I have is eye drops and a tweezer. At home I have a tinted brow gel, a tweezers, eyeliner, mascara & a MAC Paint Pot

Last eye product you finished? Elf wow brow brow gel

Last eye product you purchased? Glossier Boy Brow

Your skin tone/colouring: pale, cool
What eye products are in your bag/on your desk? nothing on my desk and the only thing in my bag is a Sephora pencil liner in Cappuccino, my most used shade.
Last eye product you finished? Pfffft – really? The only eye products I ever finish are shadow primers and liner pencils. I think the NARS eye primer is the last eye product I finished
Last eye product you purchased? Probably Milani eyeshadow primer or Charlotte Tilbury The Rock Chick quad.

Skin tone/coloring: Neutral, leaning Warm.

Eye products in my bag/on my desk: None. I literally have no time for touch ups while I’m working.

Last eye product you finished: Cover Girl Lash Blast Fusion Mascara in Black-brown. I’m not sure about finished but it was definitely pushing the 6 month mark.

Last eye product you purchased: I bought Sephora’s Clean Me Up Beauty Set in the sale, so I’ve been testing the Tower 28 MakeWaves mascara in Jet. So far, it’s not bad but I prefer building thickness to length so I’m not sure this will become a favorite.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

What eye products are in your bag/on your desk? I think I have a Sephora Colorful eyeshadow in First Light (I think that’s its name anyway?) in my bag… You SERIOUSLY don’t want to know how much is sitting on top of my dresser that I use as my makeup desk! LOL!

Last eye product you finished? Probably a KVD Tattoo Liner in Trooper that had gotten a little too old or a tube of Heroine Make Long & Curl Super Waterproof mascara.

Last eye product you purchased? JUST ordered one of Sephora’s new Retractable Waterproof Eyeliners in Shimmer Plum because it appears to be much more of a cool toned purple than a plum, plus all Sephora brand stuff is 30% off right now, so I figured I’d give it a shot!

I’ve been using the original Too Faced Shadow Insurance (the one in the tube) and it’s such a great product but I despair of finishing it because, like UDPP, it seems to have undergone a “reformulation” and (again like UDPP) NOT for the better. Most of my favourite e/s primers have been discontinued or reformulated and NOT for the better and I’m running out of options (I’m glad I have a practically new NARS e/s primer because Sephora seems to be sold out of it all the time, which isn’t surprising given the dearth of decent e/s primers still available.

Mariella Avatar

Seems to be the case. It’s in a doe foot applicator now (rather than the squeeze tube with the narrow opening) and the reviews I’ve seen on Sephora are less than encouraging. Perhaps the “old” formula is still available in the US but here in Canada, Sephora doesn’t have it and they’re really the only bricks and mortar store convenient to me.

It makes me feel so much better to know I’m not alone in not finishing eye products (well, not eyeshadow, in any case). I’ve only just noticed that MAC has dumped Tempting, which I’ve only started to wear again and have fallen in love with all over again….figures!

What eye products are in your bag/on your desk? In my bag I haven’t had any eye makeup products since eyeshadow primers arrived, before that I had everything used with me at all times as touching ups were needed may times over the day, thanks to hooded oily lids.
I do have UD Naked 2 sitting beside me right now at my desk. All the pans fell out and I had to have a good photo of the palette to put them back in the right order. Photos used came from Temptalia.
Last eye product you finished? I think it must be Benefit Roller Liner (I’m suddenly unsure of the name) in black, a product I really do like a lot, probably DCed with my luck. 🙂
Last eye product you purchased? Revitalash eyelash serum, for makeup it was Vieve The Ninetease palette.
