The Lipstick League – Week of 10.30.17

Question of the Week: What does your ideal mascara do, and which one comes close to delivering it?

EauMG’s Answer: My lashes are pitiful. I have thick, very short, very straight lashes. Basically, I want a mascara that can do it all. But, mascaras are like people. They can’t do it all.

The Lipstick League – Week of 7.20.15

Question of the Week: When it comes to brows, do you tend to gravitate toward pencils, gels, or powders?

EauMG’s Answer: This year I grew out my brows. Yes, grew them out. I have been (well adults did it too) waxing and tweezing since I was 10 years old. It’s time to see what’s really there.
