Thrive causemetics
Not a fan of Thrive. Liked their cream stick eyeshadows but I wouldnt go out of my way to get them. Imo of course My go-to mascara is “They’re real” by Benefit. Dumb name but works great.

What are some high end products that you think are worth the money and hype?
For me it’s the benefit They’re real mascara. Have repurchased at least 5 times. I have other mascaras too but this one is my OG.
