This was probably the best comparison video I’ve ever seen. You had high end and drug store and compared them side by side and you had a lot of choices. Also you showed us actually putting them on and removing them which is so helpful. When UA-camrs just sit there droning on and on about items without showing us how they apply my mind wanders and I loose interest. Great job!! Unbiased as well, you can tell you’re not sponsored.❤
Oh that is so incredibly kind of you to say!!! That just was so very affirming to me and I can't thank you enough. I hope you have a blessed rest of the week. Love, Melissa
I love the tubing mascaras. A little trick I figured out taking it off, after I get my lashes wet with hot water I keep my eyes closed and use a spooly to brush my lashes. It comes right off instead of pulling or rolling it off. And you are so beautiful.
I know we’re our own worst critics, but never talk down about yourself. No one would notice anything negative while you were washing your face but you, I saw no jowels no bad angles nothing love thy self. Tube expert 🥰😆
I know but It's just so hard for me. And I haven't been able to change in all these years. I had a super super critical mom, so I got in the habit of heading off the negative criticism ahead of time. Like Ok, I know my (fill in the blank) looks terrible mom, but I didn't have time to work on it this morning. It was hair, clothes, my kids, my spouse, my eyebrows, my makeup, my voice, , my, well you get the idea. Whew, sorry. I didn't mean to open up like that. lol.
And you have this beautiful fun platform to show other girls how to uplift themselves how to make themselves feel better and we can do that with our words you’re so positive you’re so uplifting so we want to make the younger generations feel there’s nothing wrong with them, your grandparents might’ve been harsh on your mom and she carried that down we have to educate and change from the bad years prior. Love you! hugs. ☀️🐰
@@Melissa55Boy, I hear you and the same here. However, we tear down God’s workmanship in us when we do that. I started just attacking those voices in my head and countered them with the Word of God and what He says about me! Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he comes only to steal, kill, and destroy! I pray you will start tearing down those thoughts and taking them captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus! We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Glory be to God the Father!!! You are His image-bearer! You shine His light so beautifully! We love you, Melissa!
I use a different method for removing tubing mascara which I think is better because you're not putting that glop down the drain. I use a Neutrogena make-up wipe to take off the make-up, then run the water until warm/hot and wet the wipe under the water. Press the warm wipe up to your eyes a few times, then use the same “pinching” technique you showed, but with the wipe! All the tubes come off on the wipe and you can just disard it.
I like Thrive a lot except the price. Bought the Milani and I like it just as much. Tried the new Elf tubing one and still like the Milani better. Thanks for the review!
Hi Melissa, I was looking back at this video and thought that if you happen to see my comment; the Ulta inside theTarget store has buy one get one free of the Tartlet mini tubing mascara thru June 29th. Plus several other mini products! I like buying the minis, especially the mascara because I know I will use it up before the expiration date. 🌺
I love the tartlet mascara as well… Thrive was the first tubing mascara. I tried, and I do still like it but I would choose the tart over that one any day. You are looking fabulous, so keep up your recovery… take time when you need it💕
I e been experimenting with tubing mascaras…tarte was my favorite for years, but I’m still trying new to me ones. I do think if you apply primer potion to lashes first it helps a lot. You look beautiful! ❤
Melissa you're looking fantastic. The hair is "extra" today, so pretty. This is so timely for me. As I've given up on regular mascaras. Bought the KVD, it made my eyes itch, returned. Used Thrive in the past, I liked. Definitely gonna try Tarte next time I get to Ulta. I had no idea there was a special way to remove these. Appreciate all your tips. regarding this type of mascara. Happy Easter🐣 to you and your family..
Great video, so gald to hear the Tartelette was your favorite, I have been wanting to try it. I find the Milani gives me beautiful lashes but very messy.
Loved how you filmed this comparison video, Melissa. I know what you mean regarding the way a wand grabs, and coats the lashes. In my early days of UA-cam I tried the Blinc tubing mascara, and did like it. Then I tried the regular Superhero, and Have stuck with it ever since. But, I have to say, you've tempted me to try tubing mascara again. Love you, my beautiful friend...MaryEllen
Me too Melissa...I wore fake lashes in 1969 too..cause all mascaras used to run and give us all raccoon eyes!! I love a tubing mascara too!! I do love a thick mascara too! So glad you did this video.....I need to get all of them..ha...Love you!! You look gorgeous as always my sweet girlfriend!!! Muah!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Carol P.S. There is no wrinkly or saggy on that face...just beauty!
Lune & Aster makes imho, the best tubing mascara called Eclipse. Blue Mercury carries their line and I never hear anyone mention it. I’ve tried my fair share of them including several of the ones you mentioned. It’s a very wet formula which I like because most of them are quite dry. A tube lasts forever.
Wow hair is so on point but you always look amazing. I could never get on board with tubing mascaras. I always felt like I was losing my lashes when those tubes would come off. Lol I barely have any lashes as it is these days.😻🥰
I kept thinking mine were coming off too, but I got down and did an operation on the tubes. lol. They really didn't have any hair inside them. But I know what you mean. Take care of yourself. Sending you much love!
I think the Victoria Beckam gave your lashes a little lift on the outer edge, which is very flattering! Maybe that's part of what you liked? Tubing mascaras have changed my life! They walk the line between a traditional mascara and a waterproof one - best of both worlds, imo! Thank you for sharing all these options! The It Cosmetics has been my go-to, but now I have others to try!
I love the Milani tubing mascara. I wear it every day,no smearing 😅r flaking at all. For decades i was unhappy with dark circles under my eyes all the time. With this I put a warm soft washcloth on my eyes and really gently rub off. I bought it at Ulta on sale.
Hi Melissa, A great and through comparison of different tubing mascaras. Thanks so much for doing the research. I hope you have a beautiful day! Love, Karen
You always look so beautiful Melissa 😊 You know we love your positive energy 🥰😘🫶🇨🇦❤️ thank you so much for doing these comparisons. You have helped me with makeup, hair and skincare more than you’ll ever know 🙌🏼👏🏼🫶
Hi Melissa, I love the tubing mascaras too. My favorite is the Tarte and sometimes I buy the travel size for $15. My 2nd favorite is the Milani. Interesting comparisons! What I didn't know is how to wash them off. I've just been using a mascara remover, so I'll have to try the water way. Thanks for doing these. Your hair looks fabulous. ❤
It seems like you're a big fan of Catrice! I noticed that you've made two videos about them, and now you're trying out their mascara too. That's really cool!
I thought I was the only one who struggled for years with mascara smudging. I’m surprised at the Thrive and Milani comparison. When I tried Milani it was sooooo liquidy and wouldn’t build, whereas the Thrive was fantastic. I have had the Thrive in blue before - I didnt care for that one at all, so I wonder if the colours affect things. I haven’t tried any of the others you showed, except the Panda Eyes (rubbish - smudged everywhere) so I have a few new ones on my list now. Currently the ELF is my go-to. Fabulous result with a low cost…win-win.
To combat smudging, make sure you are usually water-based formula (not waterproof). Water will be listed as the first ingredient. Then, after you have applied your foundation/concealer, dust a very thin veil of powder under your eyes, close to the lashes. I use a powder puff, and just press it once.
I had the same smudging problem with mascaras until I found tubing mascara. Thrive is my first and favorite, but I hate paying for shipping and you can only get it from Thrive. Removal is simple with a makeup removal balm like Clinique or Clean It Zero.
I think you get attached to the first one you use. I don't know why I like that Victoria Beckham one, but I do for some strange reason. lol. Take care and many thanks!!!
I use and love the Milani! The It cosmetics burn may come from the serum it contains. That would be a definite “no” for me too. Thanks Melissa. Might check out the Tartlette.
I need to try the catrice and tarte! I actually really like the Thrive and recently discovered the EM Cosmetics one and it’s very nice. Great video. Hugs, Clara 🩷
I really appreciate this video! I have been using Thrive for a very long time & have always enjoyed it. But I think i’m going to try the Tartlette. It really did seem to grab and deposit a good amount! Thank you again for such a great video!!🧡
Great review Melissa! Ive been using Thrive and love it but find it gets a little goopy in the tube after about two months Going to give Milani a try at half the price. TY! ❤
Hi Melissa, I think the KVD looked the best :) How do you keep the mascara from clumping? It seems whenever i take out the wand from my Mary Kay mascara, it is clumped over with the product and it winds up on my lids. Which mascara can you recommend for non-clumping? Also, why don't you just use a cotton pad and makeup remover? Thank you! ~teri bee
You look very beautiful today. Have you done something new ? I guess the lack of estrogen didn't hurt you at all ! LoL Makes me even wonder if I should continue on my HRT since I don't feel great on it ? Sorry my question has nothing to do with mascara .
I know this is off-topic too, but estrogen helps protect you from so many things, like heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's. Maybe your dosage needs to be tweaked?
Thanks for taking one for the team. BTW, your hair looks so beautiful. Can you possibly do a tutorial on your hair style? Thanks and have a great week.
For me nothing beats L'Oréal voluminous mascara and there paradise mascara. I have tried them all cheap and expensive and these two are what I have been using for the last 4 years.
I was always a Maybelline mascara customer, but the whole mess of politically correct pandering made me furious. So I started experimenting and luckily discovered L’Oréal right off the bat. I’ve been using it ever since. I actually don’t wear makeup very often….I’m somewhat of an old hippie-ish gal. I have never heard of “tubing” used to describe mascara though. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I did a completely different eye makeup routine that I usually do. I made it go up from the outside in. And I am swearing by that red light therapy mask. Thank you!
10:49 WAIT! WHAT IF.. you put this on, under, ur Favorite non tubing..lol.. I have a clear waterproof mascara they call it. In my opinion it's basically clear waterproof brow gel but it does work. That's I can use any mascara and make it waterproof😊
Hello Melissa! I was watching your video on our tv and our son's girlfriend came into the room, so I asked her how old did she think you were and she said "early 50's". I told her you were 68 and she said, "Wow, no way" and then told me that is how old her grandmother was and she looks 68. You do look good! Thanks for comparing the mascaras. I think I will give the Milani a try. Hope you have a blessed day!
awwww, that is so sweet of her! Please thank her for me. But it scares me to think of me on a tv instead of a tiny screen on a phone. lol. But I sure do thank you, Robin. Love to you.
Trish McEvoy is one of the pioneers of the tubing mascara along with Blinc and she offers two different types of brushes to achieve different looks. We would sell out all the time women would buy 3 at a time. Blinc wasn’t as good. My favorite now is the Thrive. I literally get compliments all day long when I wear Thrive mascara.
I used them several years ago and I remember being amazed. And then for some reason I got away from using her products. I had one of those little books that you could add your products to. I just looked and they are still in business. I'm going to have to do another shop with them. Thank you so much!
@@Melissa55yes that's one of the beauty lines I worked for. I would do makeovers and build those planners up for the customers. Great organization and customization for travel and home ❤ I've retired but still use her products. The company is still privately owned by Trish.
Great video Melissa! Someone just asked me about tubing mascaras and I shared this video with them. Thank you for all the work and detail you put into this. I def want to try a couple of these. xoxo
Same problem as you : most mascaras smudge and I do not like waterproof mascaras. In 2017 I discovered the Clinique tubing mascara. Bought it as once, quite happy, even if it does not transform my lashes into "dream" lashes. But it does the job and never smudged. Easy to take off. I bought the Milani recently and it is definitely my favourite because it is very "generous", thickens my lashes and is easy to clean. Plus the price which is quite low and it is available nowhere. By the way the Maybellline Sky High does not smudge at all, but the Fireworks does.... Thanks for the video.
Great reviews, thank you! I found your video showing how you do this hairstyle. Excellent! Also, do you know the hair color or technique your hair stylist uses? The color is amazing! Robin
Thank you so much for doing this Melissa. It's brilliant. So detailed. I loved it. I have very sick eyes and think that tubing is the way to go for me but it's a minefield. I have a couple of eye surgeries coming up but will definitely give that tartlette one a try when I can wear makeup again. Second choice will be the catrice for me as I bought their foundation on your recommendation and I love it. I'd never heard of them before. Love Carole xx
Had to ask my 17 yr old what'tubing mascara ' was.. lol. Wouldn't waterproof work!? So, I wear 2 contacts per eye, live in hot,🥵 sweaty, 🌞🌡humid,⛈️ rainy, 💧Miami- complete with menopausal 🥵 hot flashes😂.... So, if it comes off w/ water- wouldnt it sort of be same diff? Ive tried EVERY MASCARA in last 40 years( im 53) .. my ALL TIME fav waterproof is still Lancome WP Hypnosé, or Big Monsieur . NowIF YOU say this wont run..Im in! TY for sharing!
I struggle with pink eye quite often so I have to replace my mascara more frequently than it would actually expire. Because of this I mostly use inexpensive mascaras (because who can afford to buy a high end product six to eight times a year on a fixed income?) and I've bought the Catrice one a couple of times this year. It is excellent!
I like your videos a lot. You are genuine and very beautiful without being artificial looking like many american influencers with her false lashes and big filled lips etc.. But one thing disturbes me unfortunately and makes me somehow nervous 😏. It is the (very american and common bad habit to always say "you know you know you kniw you know...." 109 times in a videos is too much! And so useless.. 🙄
You are so beautiful….thank you for this video…..everything has always ended up under my eyes like smudged….so frustrating….i have to try this. Also eyeliner smudges on me instantly ….what do you use?
Melissa, you are beautiful but your hair is overbleached and the color is pulling green. Also, by no means would I suggest short hair, but this style ages you. You could knock off fifteen years with an up to date coiffure. 😅
I love the Thrive mascara. I tried the Milani Mascara and found it to be very wet and took a while to dry. It always smeared on my upper eye lid . I will stick with Thrive but try the Tarte mascara....just to see.
Tarte Gifted has been my absolute favorite tubing mascara for years but the last 2 that I bought seemed to be super dry. I think they've either discontinued it & I got old ones or they changed the formula. I do like the Tartelette but find it's a very wet formula. Going to try the Milani now.
I loved the tartlette when i put it on so much i though it was my new holy grail. Then within about an hour it started flaking badly. It might have been that i touched my eyes I’m not sure but my other tubing mascaras don’t do it. I had no smudging but the flaking was really a lot and it looked terrible.

Like Ok, I know my (fill in the blank) looks terrible mom, but I didn't have time to work on it this morning. It was hair, clothes, my kids, my spouse, my eyebrows, my makeup, my voice, , my, well you get the idea. Whew, sorry. I didn't mean to open up like that. lol.
And you have this beautiful fun platform to show other girls how to uplift themselves how to make themselves feel better and we can do that with our words you’re so positive you’re so uplifting so we want to make the younger generations feel there’s nothing wrong with them, your grandparents might’ve been harsh on your mom and she carried that down we have to educate and change from the bad years prior. Love you! hugs. ☀️🐰
@@Melissa55Boy, I hear you and the same here. However, we tear down God’s workmanship in us when we do that. I started just attacking those voices in my head and countered them with the Word of God and what He says about me! Satan is the accuser of the brethren and he comes only to steal, kill, and destroy! I pray you will start tearing down those thoughts and taking them captive to the obedience of Christ Jesus! We are fearfully and wonderfully made! Glory be to God the Father!!!
You are His image-bearer! You shine His light so beautifully! We love you, Melissa!
Absolutely beautiful!
I have been waiting for one of these videos! By the way, you are glowing ❤ Your skin and hair look amazing as always. Hope you're doing good❤
That is so incredibly kind Kristi. Thank you.
I always use a tooth (dental) cleaning spoolie to separate my eyelashes after I add mascara. And sometimes I use it to put mascara on. It’s marvelous.
I use a different method for removing tubing mascara which I think is better because you're not putting that glop down the drain. I use a Neutrogena make-up wipe to take off the make-up, then run the water until warm/hot and wet the wipe under the water. Press the warm wipe up to your eyes a few times, then use the same “pinching” technique you showed, but with the wipe! All the tubes come off on the wipe and you can just disard it.
Oh that's a good hint. Thank you so very much. I always learn something new with each video. I sure appreciate it. 💞💞💞
I like Thrive a lot except the price. Bought the Milani and I like it just as much. Tried the new Elf tubing one and still like the Milani better. Thanks for the review!
I thought the Milani was very comparable, too. I haven't tried the Elf yet, but the Milani is hard to beat. I appreciate it!
Your makeup looks AMAZING, you look so fresh , pretty I love your simple (looking) cateye makeup. It really lifts your eyes
Thank you, Phoebe! I did do it a different way. I follow a UA-cam tutorial. hahahahah. Many thanks,
Hi Melissa, I was looking back at this video and thought that if you happen to see my comment; the Ulta inside theTarget store has buy one get one free of the Tartlet mini tubing mascara thru June 29th. Plus several other mini products! I like buying the minis, especially the mascara because I know I will use it up before the expiration date. 🌺
I love the tartlet mascara as well… Thrive was the first tubing mascara. I tried, and I do still like it but I would choose the tart over that one any day. You are looking fabulous, so keep up your recovery… take time when you need it💕
I e been experimenting with tubing mascaras…tarte was my favorite for years, but I’m still trying new to me ones. I do think if you apply primer potion to lashes first it helps a lot. You look beautiful! ❤
That's an idea too of the primer. Does it make the tubes do differently? Do you need a special like tubing primer? Thank you in advance!!!
Melissa you're looking fantastic. The hair is "extra" today, so pretty. This is so timely for me. As I've given up on regular mascaras. Bought the KVD, it made my eyes itch, returned. Used Thrive in the past, I liked. Definitely gonna try Tarte next time I get to Ulta. I had no idea there was a special way to remove these. Appreciate all your tips. regarding this type of mascara. Happy Easter🐣 to you and your family..
Great video, so gald to hear the Tartelette was your favorite, I have been wanting to try it. I find the Milani gives me beautiful lashes but very messy.
Loved how you filmed this comparison video, Melissa. I know what you mean regarding the way a wand grabs, and coats the lashes. In my early days of UA-cam I tried the Blinc tubing mascara, and did like it. Then I tried the regular Superhero, and Have stuck with it ever since. But, I have to say, you've tempted me to try tubing mascara again. Love you, my beautiful friend...MaryEllen
Me too Melissa...I wore fake lashes in 1969 too..cause all mascaras used to run and give us all raccoon eyes!! I love a tubing mascara too!! I do love a thick mascara too! So glad you did this video.....I need to get all of them..ha...Love you!! You look gorgeous as always my sweet girlfriend!!! Muah!! xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Carol P.S. There is no wrinkly or saggy on that face...just beauty!
If you wear the lashes so much then you kind of get fast putting them on. Love you back and I just appreciate you so very much. Thank you!
Lune & Aster makes imho, the best tubing mascara called Eclipse. Blue Mercury carries their line and I never hear anyone mention it. I’ve tried my fair share of them including several of the ones you mentioned. It’s a very wet formula which I like because most of them are quite dry. A tube lasts forever.
I have never heard of that mascara, but I am intrigued now. Thank you for the heads up!!!
Wow hair is so on point but you always look amazing. I could never get on board with tubing mascaras. I always felt like I was losing my lashes when those tubes would come off. Lol I barely have any lashes as it is these days.😻🥰
I kept thinking mine were coming off too, but I got down and did an operation on the tubes. lol. They really didn't have any hair inside them. But I know what you mean. Take care of yourself. Sending you much love!
I think the Victoria Beckam gave your lashes a little lift on the outer edge, which is very flattering! Maybe that's part of what you liked? Tubing mascaras have changed my life! They walk the line between a traditional mascara and a waterproof one - best of both worlds, imo! Thank you for sharing all these options! The It Cosmetics has been my go-to, but now I have others to try!
Thank you so much for your review. ❤
I love the Milani tubing mascara. I wear it every day,no smearing 😅r flaking at all. For decades i was unhappy with dark circles under my eyes all the time. With this I put a warm soft washcloth on my eyes and really gently rub off. I bought it at Ulta on sale.
Hi Melissa, A great and through comparison of different tubing mascaras. Thanks so much for doing the research. I hope you have a beautiful day! Love, Karen
Clinique Lash Power Mascara Long Wearing is another great one. I wash my face with warm water and have never had a problem removing them.
Oh that is great. Thank you for the heads up.
You always look so beautiful Melissa 😊 You know we love your positive energy 🥰😘🫶🇨🇦❤️ thank you so much for doing these comparisons. You have helped me with makeup, hair and skincare more than you’ll ever know 🙌🏼👏🏼🫶
You did a wonderful job with this video, Melissa. Thank you!
Hi Melissa, I love the tubing mascaras too. My favorite is the Tarte and sometimes I buy the travel size for $15. My 2nd favorite is the Milani. Interesting comparisons! What I didn't know is how to wash them off. I've just been using a mascara remover, so I'll have to try the water way. Thanks for doing these. Your hair looks fabulous. ❤
It seems like you're a big fan of Catrice! I noticed that you've made two videos about them, and now you're trying out their mascara too. That's really cool!
a great review Melissa. Great to see you looking well. Hope you are getting better.. Slow process ❤
What a great video! You gave us so much interesting information. Loved this format.
Thanks for the comparison, Melissa. Appreciate it.
I thought I was the only one who struggled for years with mascara smudging. I’m surprised at the Thrive and Milani comparison. When I tried Milani it was sooooo liquidy and wouldn’t build, whereas the Thrive was fantastic. I have had the Thrive in blue before - I didnt care for that one at all, so I wonder if the colours affect things. I haven’t tried any of the others you showed, except the Panda Eyes (rubbish - smudged everywhere) so I have a few new ones on my list now. Currently the ELF is my go-to. Fabulous result with a low cost…win-win.
Great demos! You may also enjoy the DHC tubing mascara. Lisa Eldridge recommended it years ago and it's a really good one.
Not many people would have any lashes left after all that, wow! Bless you!
lol. I think they did thin out. hahaha. Thank you!!!
That was good! From over here the Tart and Essence looked the best.
Right now I'm using/liking milani tubing mascara. Thanks for the reviews ❤❤❤
Very interesting video. You're adorable as always 💗
I use the purple thrive on my lower lashes and the Milani on the top lashes. Looking forward to trying the tartlette when I run out!
Thank you so much for doing this. I’ve really wondered about the tubing mascaras. I also get the smudging under my eyes. 🧡
To combat smudging, make sure you are usually water-based formula (not waterproof). Water will be listed as the first ingredient. Then, after you have applied your foundation/concealer, dust a very thin veil of powder under your eyes, close to the lashes. I use a powder puff, and just press it once.
I had the same smudging problem with mascaras until I found tubing mascara. Thrive is my first and favorite, but I hate paying for shipping and you can only get it from Thrive. Removal is simple with a makeup removal balm like Clinique or Clean It Zero.
I think you get attached to the first one you use. I don't know why I like that Victoria Beckham one, but I do for some strange reason. lol. Take care and many thanks!!!
I use and love the Milani! The It cosmetics burn may come from the serum it contains. That would be a definite “no” for me too. Thanks Melissa. Might check out the Tartlette.
I need to try the catrice and tarte! I actually really like the Thrive and recently discovered the EM Cosmetics one and it’s very nice. Great video. Hugs, Clara 🩷
Melissa! This is super-helpful! Thank you!
Oh Thank you Amy!
I’m a little bit younger than you….was your first mascara Maybeline Great Lash? lol ❤ love your hair curly. So wish mine would hold.
Still waiting for the washrag knitting tutorial. Easy knitting for beginners. I love tubing mascara.
Thanks, great review, I use Hourglas but Will try Tarte 💖💖💖
I really appreciate this video! I have been using Thrive for a very long time & have always enjoyed it. But I think i’m going to try the Tartlette. It really did seem to grab and deposit a good amount! Thank you again for such a great video!!🧡
Great review Melissa! Ive been using Thrive and love it but find it gets a little goopy in the tube after about two months Going to give Milani a try at half the price. TY! ❤
I use Elemis cleansing Balm to help remove my tubing mascara.
Oh thank you for the heads up!!! 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
@@Melissa55 thank you so much for this video I use thrive mascara but I am definitely going to try the Tarte one. 😘
luv ur info burnng eyes
I love the color of your hair base. Do you do it yourself and what color and brand if you do please?
Thanks Melissa
Hi Melissa, I think the KVD looked the best :) How do you keep the mascara from clumping? It seems whenever i take out the wand from my Mary Kay mascara, it is clumped over with the product and it winds up on my lids. Which mascara can you recommend for non-clumping? Also, why don't you just use a cotton pad and makeup remover? Thank you! ~teri bee
Thanks for sharing
A mascara video that was “Eye opening…” 😂
Good one!
hahahahahah I appreciate you getting that!
Could you please recommend an eye cream for eyelids? Thank you!!
Wait, you are 68 or i misunderstood you? How old are you in this video again?
You’re so silly. You look gorgeous no matter what. I don’t wanna hear it. 😊
You look very beautiful today. Have you done something new ? I guess the lack of estrogen didn't hurt you at all ! LoL Makes me even wonder if I should continue on my HRT since I don't feel great on it ? Sorry my question has nothing to do with mascara .
aw thank you! I did my eye makeup totally different!!! I followed a youtube video. ahhahaha. Thank you so very much.
I know this is off-topic too, but estrogen helps protect you from so many things, like heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's. Maybe your dosage needs to be tweaked?
@@rosej9686 Yes, you are right Rose. It does do all those things good protective things. I need to rethink. Thanks for the reminder. 🌼
@@r-anne7375 Please switch to soy isoflavones. They work, believe me and you will not get a clot or cancer.
Thanks for taking one for the team. BTW, your hair looks so beautiful. Can you possibly do a tutorial on your hair style? Thanks and have a great week.
2nd
Was thinking same thing about hair tutorial
Oh gosh I so appreciate it, Cindy!!! Thank you!
Your review was so well done. Excellent presentation.
Oh thank you, Deborah. I sure appreciate it!!!
For me nothing beats L'Oréal voluminous mascara and there paradise mascara. I have tried them all cheap and expensive and these two are what I have been using for the last 4 years.
I absolutely love Loreal’s original voluminous mascara! It’s so buildable and stays soft and comes off easily!
That is so great. You know if you find a good mascara that works, it really does make a different. Thank you and have a blessed week!
I was always a Maybelline mascara customer, but the whole mess of politically correct pandering made me furious. So I started experimenting and luckily discovered L’Oréal right off the bat. I’ve been using it ever since. I actually don’t wear makeup very often….I’m somewhat of an old hippie-ish gal.
I have never heard of “tubing” used to describe mascara though. 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
First time I’ve heard it called tubing mascara
@@Christine-d2sI literally had no idea what they were talking about until I watched. What is an untubed mascara? Honestly sounds stupid.
Could you do a video showing how you get your hair to look like that!? So pretty!
Yes! I’d love a start to complete finish how-to!!!😌😌😌
Oh thank you. I will do that. It's really easy. I appreciate it.
This look is so good on you!!!! Not sure what's different? Always pretty but almost look younger!❤
I did a completely different eye makeup routine that I usually do. I made it go up from the outside in. And I am swearing by that red light therapy mask. Thank you!
Can I just say you are the big ray of sunshine we all need!!!😁☀️
Why thank you, Vera!!! I sure appreciate it.
Melissa could teach some celebrities how to look good without ruining their faces with injections.
10:49 WAIT! WHAT IF.. you put this on, under, ur Favorite non tubing..lol.. I have a clear waterproof mascara they call it. In my opinion it's basically clear waterproof brow gel but it does work. That's I can use any mascara and make it waterproof😊
Hello Melissa! I was watching your video on our tv and our son's girlfriend came into the room, so I asked her how old did she think you were and she said "early 50's". I told her you were 68 and she said, "Wow, no way" and then told me that is how old her grandmother was and she looks 68. You do look good! Thanks for comparing the mascaras. I think I will give the Milani a try. Hope you have a blessed day!
awwww, that is so sweet of her! Please thank her for me. But it scares me to think of me on a tv instead of a tiny screen on a phone. lol. But I sure do thank you, Robin. Love to you.
So glad you taught us about Victoria Beckham products
I’ve been keeping her in business 😂. Love everything 💗. Jana - Texas
Oh Jane!!! I have too. There is just something a little special about them. Thank you so much!
Melissa, your hair looks soft and beautiful. You sure don’t look your age, the Lord has blessed you❤
Oh thank you, Kim. I hope you had a good Easter. And thank you!
Trish McEvoy is one of the pioneers of the tubing mascara along with Blinc and she offers two different types of brushes to achieve different looks. We would sell out all the time women would buy 3 at a time. Blinc wasn’t as good. My favorite now is the Thrive. I literally get compliments all day long when I wear Thrive mascara.
I used them several years ago and I remember being amazed. And then for some reason I got away from using her products. I had one of those little books that you could add your products to. I just looked and they are still in business. I'm going to have to do another shop with them. Thank you so much!
@@Melissa55yes that's one of the beauty lines I worked for. I would do makeovers and build those planners up for the customers. Great organization and customization for travel and home ❤ I've retired but still use her products. The company is still privately owned by Trish.
1969- year I was born!
All those closeups show how wonderful your skin is looking- thank you for trying out all those mascaras for us 😘
I sure appreciate it so much! Thank you!
I agree!! You could wear anything and still look beautiful!! Thank your you for your review!!
You're so very kind. Thank you!
No mascara should be over six dollars. Cartrice for the win.
I just loved your video!! Perfect. Thank you
Maybelline mascaras that say washable on the front package are tubing too! The pink Lash Paradise from L Oreal also.
Thank you for the heads up! I'll watch out for them.
Great video Melissa! Someone just asked me about tubing mascaras and I shared this video with them. Thank you for all the work and detail you put into this. I def want to try a couple of these. xoxo
Have you tried the caliray come hell or high water. Would love your comparison the your top 4.
Love that mascara. I'd say it's the best hands down.
Same problem as you : most mascaras smudge and I do not like waterproof mascaras. In 2017 I discovered the Clinique tubing mascara. Bought it as once, quite happy, even if it does not transform my lashes into "dream" lashes. But it does the job and never smudged. Easy to take off. I bought the Milani recently and it is definitely my favourite because it is very "generous", thickens my lashes and is easy to clean. Plus the price which is quite low and it is available nowhere.
By the way the Maybellline Sky High does not smudge at all, but the Fireworks does....
Thanks for the video.
Great reviews, thank you!
I found your video showing how you do this hairstyle. Excellent! Also, do you know the hair color or technique your hair stylist uses? The color is amazing! Robin
Thank you so much for doing this Melissa. It's brilliant. So detailed. I loved it. I have very sick eyes and think that tubing is the way to go for me but it's a minefield. I have a couple of eye surgeries coming up but will definitely give that tartlette one a try when I can wear makeup again. Second choice will be the catrice for me as I bought their foundation on your recommendation and I love it. I'd never heard of them before. Love Carole xx
Carole: I also bought the Catrice per her recommendation. It's fabulous and so incredibly inexpensive!
Had to ask my 17 yr old what'tubing mascara ' was.. lol. Wouldn't waterproof work!? So, I wear 2 contacts per eye, live in hot,🥵 sweaty, 🌞🌡humid,⛈️ rainy, 💧Miami- complete with menopausal 🥵 hot flashes😂....
So, if it comes off w/ water- wouldnt it sort of be same diff?
Ive tried EVERY MASCARA in last 40 years( im 53) .. my ALL TIME fav waterproof is still Lancome WP Hypnosé, or Big Monsieur .
NowIF YOU say this wont run..Im in! TY for sharing!
Thanks for reviewing the tubing mascaras!! Also, your hair looks gorgeous!!
I struggle with pink eye quite often so I have to replace my mascara more frequently than it would actually expire. Because of this I mostly use inexpensive mascaras (because who can afford to buy a high end product six to eight times a year on a fixed income?) and I've bought the Catrice one a couple of times this year. It is excellent!
Milani and Tarte for the win❤
For sure!
All your efforts are so appreciated. This was so interesting to watch. Mabelline Sky High Tubes are worth trying too!
I like your videos a lot. You are genuine and very beautiful without being artificial looking like many american influencers with her false lashes and big filled lips etc.. But one thing disturbes me unfortunately and makes me somehow nervous 😏. It is the (very american and common bad habit to always say "you know you know you kniw you know...." 109 times in a videos is too much! And so useless.. 🙄
Have you considered trying the Japanese tubing mascaras? They're supposed to be gamd changers.
You are so beautiful….thank you for this video…..everything has always ended up under my eyes like smudged….so frustrating….i have to try this. Also eyeliner smudges on me instantly ….what do you use?
Just in case you haven’t tried my favourite is the Mac Extended Play. It’s amazing but hardly ever on sale unfortunately
Melissa, you are beautiful but your hair is overbleached and the color is pulling green. Also, by no means would I suggest short hair, but this style ages you. You could knock off fifteen years with an up to date coiffure. 😅
I love the Thrive mascara. I tried the Milani Mascara and found it to be very wet and took a while to dry. It always smeared on my upper eye lid . I will stick with Thrive but try the Tarte mascara....just to see.
Tarte Gifted has been my absolute favorite tubing mascara for years but the last 2 that I bought seemed to be super dry. I think they've either discontinued it & I got old ones or they changed the formula. I do like the Tartelette but find it's a very wet formula. Going to try the Milani now.
I loved the tartlette when i put it on so much i though it was my new holy grail. Then within about an hour it started flaking badly. It might have been that i touched my eyes I’m not sure but my other tubing mascaras don’t do it. I had no smudging but the flaking was really a lot and it looked terrible.
There is absolutely no sagging or whatever you’re seeing when you look down into the camera……we should all be so lucky!
I bought the skincueticals C that you use and it has a terrible awful smell. Is that normal?
Melissa much love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 ❤ I absolutely love your videos, I’m soon to be 28 and my goal is to age like you 😃
Oh thank you so very much for saying that. That is so incredible kind and I'm thrilled that. you watched this video. Thank you!
