From the off I do not want to sound dumb or cause an issue - it purely out of curiosity that I ask this. So I was reading the community guidelines after I left a comment giving someone advice on a product I’ve used that isn’t sold at Sephora. I deleted the reply once informed of my error. After said faux par I decided to read through the T&C so I don’t make the same mistake again as I’m really enjoying the community. I can across this point 14: “Include any materials (whether written or visual) that directly or indirectly show any intention of promoting any competitors brands of Lancôme or L’Oreal” This is so specific to these two brands - can I ask isn’t any other brand that isn’t Lancôme or L’Oréal group in theory a competitor unless owned by them? IE E•L•F and Sephoras brand would be direct competitors to L’Oréal and Lancôme? To put this Question of mine into context: One/Size has an amazing setting spray that is TikTok viral - L’Oréal has brought out a product that is in a red can and everyone is saying it’s a direct comparison and dupe on TikTok - but it would be breaking the guidelines to say that in post as One/Size is not owned by the L’Oréal group? Meaning no one compare the two as dupes? Please don’t think I’m being a you know what stirrer - I’m worried I’ll break the guidelines and be kicked out or something. . Personally like to try and recommend a cruelty free alternative for things when people put out and ask for recommendation - but in future is it best to stay away from dupes or compare any products of any L’Oréal group product or Lancôme full stop just incase?
I have a problem! It’s my eyelashes - they are long but so straight and point down to the ground. To add to my troubles I only use cruelty free products and this is a major sticking point for me. I do curl my lashes before mascara (Kevyn A curler). I need some suggestions to try: Below is a list of mascaras I’ve tried that have failed on me: Two faced BTS waterproof  KISS ME Heroine Make Long And Curl Waterproof Mascara Advanced Film  - Utterly amazing - but so hard to remove - like you need a grinder and pic axe ! All Rimmel Waterproof mascaras ELF Rock n Roll ELF extensions It cosmetics superhero (not too bad but dropped the curl) Tarte lights, camera, action - looked nice but dropped the curl Mally X Ru Paul Just as a FYI I brush my lashes - heat my curlers, curls the lashes , root, mid, tips (thanks Wayne Goss) use the too faced primer then a mascara and brush through again. I’ve tried falsies and I can’t ever get them right and I can’t afford to get my lashes permed every 3 weeks - help!! Anyone used the KVD full sleeve mascara?
Mascara recommendations- must be cruelty free (certified) I really need some Help needed for stick straight downward facing eyelashes. Oh and my eyes are hooded and slightly oily just to add into the mix. I always curl my lashes using the Wayne Goss Method and tight line. Naturally my mascaras are either waterproof for tubing as they are more likely to hold the curl. Products tried after curling. Too Faced foreplay primer = ❌ Dropped the curl Too Faced BTS waterproof = ❌ Dropped the curl ELF lash n Roll = 🆗 - Slight drop but no volume One/Size Fantasize = ❌ (gutted) Dropped the curl GXVE can’t stop = ❌ Had high hopes for this - massive fail - looked terrible. Too much weight. Huda Legit lashes = ❌ Dear lord I swear they looked straight Charlotte Tilbury Pillow talk = ❌ Did nothing at all Charlotte Tilbury Legendary lashes original and V2 = ❌ Original looked amazing - but hello 🐼 Had high hopes for V2 = ❌ Too heavy Cover girl super sizer curl= ❌ spiderwebs and went into the downward dog position I’ve had the best luck with Asian Mascara such as :  Heroine Make Curl keep Primer ✅✅✅ Heroine Makeup SP Long & Curl Mascara Advanced Film = ✅✅✅ The issue with these two above is well their cruelty free status is hard to trace  (I tried these before I went 100% CF)  Any suggestion? My stance on CF is unwavering - sorry to be picky. I acknowledge that some brands are now owned by companies such as Too Faced is now owned by Estée Lauder and Estée Lauder as a whole is not CF.. So I support the individual brands within the group that have certified CF status only.
Broken Products (faulty) Is it possible to get a refund/return/exchange in this situation: I purchased a MakeupByMario Sculpting Stick in May 2023 and it started to have signs that twisting it up is an issue in June/July but somehow I managed to make it work so I didn’t do anything. However, Aug 2023 the product is complete gone as I cannot twisted it up at all.I reached out to Sephora and they said it’s more than 109 days so they are unable to do anything.The mechanism to twist it up has broken despite being treated very well and after not much use.  The product is no longer usable since the mechanism broke with the product inside the component and was quite expensive.Does anyone know if something can be done?  #MAKEUP BY MARIO SoftSculpt® Shaping Stick
