Seeing all your comments about the tubing mascara 🙃 Thank you- news to me you only need warm water and a wash cloth! I’ve used a fabric cotton round and still is REALLY difficult to remove. I’ll try just warm water and a wash cloth and will report back. Keep an eye on my insta stories 😉
I LOVE when you get chatty. Please never apologize for it. If anyone is complaining, you could put it at the end of the video, or put a time stamp if anyone wants to skip it. I appreciate the stories (I don’t get out much anymore!).
Try just using warm water to get the caliray mascara off. It’s a little harder to remove than other tubing mascara, but the key is warm water and not traditional eye makeup removers.
I loved the way you did this video Lauren! I like hearing when the higher priced item is worth it. I have dry, mature skin and I'm loving the new Nyx Bare with Me concealerserum. I'm not sure if you've tried that one yet.
Oh my gosh so scary for you with the battery situation- glad he’s ok and no battery swallowed- whew ! Trust me - with 4 kids - holy moly - the times we spent in the ER over the years 🙈. And my poor kids were never allowed balloons lol ( I was terrified of them choking). And as a chatty person myself I love when you chit chat ☺️. This is such a fun twist on the more traditional dupes videos - looking forward to more! Nothing beats (for me) the Essence Lash Princess mascaras - you can definitely see the difference on camera between your 2 eyes. And I will be digging out my NYX Born To Glow foundation this morning lol Keys Soulcare is a brand I would love your take on 😊 And……love love love your top! Have a beautiful weekend 💕 Xo 🇨🇦
Another affordable glowy foundation is Revlon Candid Glow which I came across in a sale bin in my shade at the drugstore. It wears beautifully and feels so good when applying it as well as it gives great coverage so no need to build up. Thanks for another great video Lauren and I’m so glad your baby boy was okay! ❤️ Edit: I’d love to see you review the Jones Road balm foundation. I’m seeing it gain visibility mostly on Instagram but a couple RUclips influencer’s mention other products from that line. Would value your evaluation Lauren!
Oh honey I have been there as a mom! 🥰🥰 I have 4 boys and ER trips are always scary. Those are the times we are so hard on ourselves as parents because we feel like somehow we have failed them. 💔 the fact that you didn’t hesitate to take or child to the ER (regardless of insecurities or egos) should speak for itself.
So tubing mascaras don’t typically dissolve with oil base cleansers. They usually just take a washcloth and water. And it slides off your lashes. Have you tried just using a wet cloth and no cleanser to get the tubing mascara off?
Tubing mascaras are meant to be removed with warm water, I just wet a makeup eraser cloth (or its dupe) and I press it slightly for a few seconds over my eyes, I repeat it and voilà! Hope it’s helpful. Essence has a new tubing mascara, for sensitive eyes, which I find absolutely wonderful. My current favorite mascara for great great lashes is the new YSL.
So sorry that scary incident happened with your son. Thank goodness everything turned out alright. I love videos comparing dupes with high end products, and if one out performs the other. Thanks for recording this.
I prefer high end and luxury makeup for most things except eye liner where I go for drug store, and some blushes like Milani baked blushes which I really like, and the elf putty ones. But for complexion and eyeshadows, I always go high end, I find drugstore eyeshadows to be poor quality compared to my Natasha Denona, Huda and NARS palettes
Hi Lauren I would be interested in a video with more niche brands - it's always interesting to see what's out there. I just bought the dior forever concealer in shade 00 - such a great shade match for me. It wears well all day and I have super dry skin. I've tried a LOT of more affordable concealers and the best I have found are from Revolution, but they truthfully aren't quite as good as my more expensive favourites. With complexion products I do feel you should invest in those and look for some fabulous budget buys in colour makeup. It takes me months and months to use up a foundation or powder, so when you factor that in it's not quite so bad on the wallet lol. I use a lot of Kiko eye products - shadow sticks, their water infused eye shadows are a real favourite with a beautiful satin finish and the eyeliners are really good. Here in the UK they're not much more than L'Oreal etc and yet perform better. Super budget for me is Essence and Catrice - both have some gems in their line, although the Essence mascaras smudge like crazy on me lol. Best wishes.
Hey, Lauren! Glad all was okay with baby boy! Just had a thought…aren’t you supposed to remove tubing mascara with water only? I’ve heard it said that they just don’t come off with cleansers.
Neutrogena has an amazing creamy concealer. I really like it. I’ve also been using my elf bite-size blush the orangey one and it looks so pretty I thought it would be way too light but with a couple of applications it looks beautiful!
Did u see the new Saie concealer heard amazing things but the color range is weird 1 is super light and 2 is like medium shade almost dark peachy nowere in between like u have to buy both and mix them Which gets expensive they need to make a 1.5 shade. I was gonna go ahead and get it it shade 1 and 2 are sold out on Sephora now. I was gonna get the Saie in 2 and use it with the Kosas I also heard it was an amazing combo to cover dark circles and brighten. O I found this concealer it's like a potted plastic compact called Mommy's little helper makeup I got it in the brighten shade and it looks so good on especially with your tinted moisturizers I found it on Amazon for 18$ I kept seeing commercial for it but I love it don't care for the weird baby powder like smell but looks great on it one u use ur finger with a it warms up the product and I palt it on.
I also have two girls and a little boy. I never had to go to the ER with the girls, but this little boy of mine find all kinds of scary (to me) adventures. 😆
Omg Lauren I'm so sorry that had to go threw that it had to be so scary to you and anyone that has gone threw it. I'm sure u were ontop of everything being a pediatric nurse you have knowledge under your belt. Girl I have been on the high-end luxury train lately , I'm not really a drugstore girl but I do find some amazing things that are better then high end so I'm not a snob..lol like my number 7 lift and luminate pressed powder I have 3 colors and I reach for it over all the high-end powders I have tried but I haven't got the Dior backstage and the Saie powder and really want to try them but then I'm like why will u love it and reach for it more then your fav. 14$ powder 🤣 I have been such a makeup junkie lately at the sale I only bought 1 skincare product and usually it's the other way around , I got the Summer Fridays peptide c eye cream the rest was all high-end makeup..lol O I got the RNW renew essence recently and love it also the Soo calm feel so good toner pads super nice too. I been trying to chill alittle with all the skincare and have a set routine and not try a hundred different things at once. LoL
Oh no! You didn’t read the directions on the mascara! All tubing mascaras use water and light pressure to remove. I use a drugstore foaming cleanser and the tubes just come off - but that’s your issue. I was hoping you had a tubing mascara dupe. I hate removing typical mascara because of my sensitive eyes so tubing is my only option.
So scary! I had an incident where I was crying more than the baby, who was fine, but you feel like such a bad mom if they are in harm's way despite your best efforts. Did you ever find the second battery?

Batteries are indeed so scary! I can only imagine your terror and I’m so glad your son is okay ❤️
Thank you!

it sounds like it’d be very dry skinned friendly 👌🏻

Warm water on a cotton pad. Hold on lashes for a few seconds and the tubing mascara should slide off.

thank you Lynda! always love input like this ;)
I love the Nyx Bare with me concealer on my very dry under eyes!
yes! I was really into that when it was first released! now I can’t put the kosas down. thanks for reminding me- I have to get back to it
The caliray is a tubing mascara! So you have to take it off with warm water!

What eyeliner and mascara are you wearing in this video?
Very interesting 🤔
Great products. TY!
The balance between enhancing the lashes, not flaking, and being possible to wash off!!!! The struggle is real!!!!
So happy baby is okay! You are such a good mom you can just tell by how sweet and attentive you are. Did you ever find the missing battery?!
there was a double A on our countertop, but no one recalled picking it up. Had to be it though!
Hey, Lauren! Glad all was okay with baby boy! Just had a thought…aren’t you supposed to remove tubing mascara with water only? I’ve heard it said that they just don’t come off with cleansers.
They do come off with anything. I just use cleanser all over my face and then water and it just comes off from the water
Great video. Couldnt help wondering why your electric plate on the right of the screen is so high? Was wondering if you were sitting on the floor :-)
haha I’m not. Just a really high outlet. there’s lots of weird quirks in this house lol
Neutrogena has an amazing creamy concealer. I really like it. I’ve also been using my elf bite-size blush the orangey one and it looks so pretty I thought it would be way too light but with a couple of applications it looks beautiful!
Yes! They give the perfect flush! 👌🏻

hmmm I like the sound of that- the names cute too lol!! Definitely intrigued by the Saie concealer too 🧐
I also have two girls and a little boy. I never had to go to the ER with the girls, but this little boy of mine find all kinds of scary (to me) adventures. 😆
Haha yea I’m curious to see how he’ll be as a toddler 😯
Omg Lauren I'm so sorry that had to go threw that it had to be so scary to you and anyone that has gone threw it. I'm sure u were ontop of everything being a pediatric nurse you have knowledge under your belt.
Girl I have been on the high-end luxury train lately , I'm not really a drugstore girl but I do find some amazing things that are better then high end so I'm not a snob..lol like my number 7 lift and luminate pressed powder I have 3 colors and I reach for it over all the high-end powders I have tried but I haven't got the Dior backstage and the Saie powder and really want to try them but then I'm like why will u love it and reach for it more then your fav. 14$ powder 🤣 I have been such a makeup junkie lately at the sale I only bought 1 skincare product and usually it's the other way around , I got the Summer Fridays peptide c eye cream the rest was all high-end makeup..lol

ok I NEED to try that No 7 powder!!
I love Olaplex No. 6. It will last me the rest of my life because it takes so little to get the smoothness.
Oh my, parenting isn’t for cowards! I’m a granny now but memories! Great psa
