That and more in The Lipstick League, week of 10.24.16
Question of the Week: What is the most you have paid for a mascara (and was it worth it)?
Answer: I’m a mascara cheapskate. I’d just rather spend my money on skincare and colorful products. So drugstore mascara is my norm. My favorite drugstore mascara right now? Max Factor Masterpiece Max is AMAZING. Like, the “stock up on it in case they discontinue it” kind of amazing. It separates and lengthens lashes, and reminds me a lot of their beloved Stretch formula (beloved by me at least, RIP.)
Plus, check out that slightly bent tip of the applicator. It lets you get every last lash, even those lil’ buggers in the corners. Good stuff, I’m telling you!
Here’s what was up with The League last week…
EauMG – I can’t travel without shopping for beauty products. I went to Mexico and here’s my haul: mamey mascara, orange blossom colognes and more!
Gouldylox – My best of beauty November list is live and you’ll never believe what’s missing… (hint, the reviews aren’t so hot on most of the them, anyway.)
My Beauty Bunny – Tired of the matte lip trend? Check out these super yummy NARS Velvet Lip Glides.
Nouveau Cheap – The Fall 2016 Sephora VIB Sale is coming (very) soon. Not sure where to start? Need some tips about how to maximize your savings? Here you go!
Olive & Ivy – There have been very mixed reviews on the Tarte Pretty Paintbox Collector’s Makeup Case, so of course I had to try it out for myself! Was it a hit or miss?
Phyrra – Makeup Regrets? We all have them. Find out about my latest Disappointing Beauty Products I Regret Buying!
Prime Beauty – is trippin’ over the Marc Jacobs Object of Desire Face and Eye Palette! The packaging can double as a clutch!
we heart this – Everyone knows Urban Decay is the gold standard for sparkle. Check out the product that has upped their shimmer game even more.
Beautygeeks – The more Janine learns about psoriatic arthritis, the more her heart breaks for everyone who struggles with it every day. Early detection is key, but most people don’t even know that psoriasis and arthritis are linked, let alone that they’re at risk.
Blushing Noir – Holiday gift giving can be more stressful than it needs to be. In a new series I’ll be sharing a few gift ideas that will help you shop a lot more easily. First up; Shopping for the Planner Girl!
Clumps of Mascara – Bring in the holiday collections! I don’t have my eyes on many but I am currently swooning over ZOYA’s Enchanted Holiday collection.

EauMG is Currently Craving: N°5 L’EAU. Change can be good. And this new perfume is the perfect example of this. This update is a sheerer version, but hasn’t lost any of that velvetiness that I associate with classic N°5.
Your turn we heartsters, what is the most you have paid for a mascara (and was it worth it)?
My favorite drugstore mascara IS my favorite mascara…
