L’Oreal is a good brand. Lancome owns them or the other way around. ELF seems to be a good brand and affordable. Whatever brand you choice, make sure they don’t have horrible chemicals in them. Look for coupons. I am careful what I buy from grocery stores (and like), but if I buy something and just don’t like it, I keep the receipt and return to the store saying I have an allergy to it and get refund. Just don’t do it often, I am sure they have a tracking system.

Does your mascara dry up? If so during the covid lock down, I decided to play as my mascara was drying up some. I added a few (5-6) drops of eye makeup remover to mine and it was smooth again. I keep during it now. Yes, I know they say replace every couple of months, but why? I don’t and never have shared mine with anyone, it’s just my cooties. I wished I would have thought of this years ago when I wore Channel mascara. It would dry up in six weeks.

The biggest pain in the a$$ for me is the liquid lip stains.
