What are your top three tips for shopping for beauty products online? Share yours!

Temptalia's Answer1.) Make sure you’re familiar with the retailer’s return policy, in case something doesn’t work out, breaks, etc. 2.) Always look for coupons – you can usually find ones for free shipping, small samples, and the like. (Consider signing up for the retailer’s newsletter if you are a frequent shopper.) 3.) Search for reviews/swatches for a product you’re unsure about to get a better feel for how it might perform or look.

Makeup & Beauty Tips on How to Sharpen Your Eyeliners

Share your best tips and tricks for sharpening your eyeliners!  Feel free to share your experiences, how you mastered techniques, or what you struggle with.

Temptalia’s Tips

  1. For really soft/creamy pencils, put them in the refrigerator or freezer to help them harden to minimize waste.
  2. Clean out your sharpener between uses so that colors don’t get mixed.
  3. Sharpen with sure, moderately fast turns of the eyeliner–don’t go too slow but don’t go too fast.

Thanks to Gweng for today’s question!

Do you prefer to shop in store or online? No matter your access, what would be your preference?

Temptalia's AnswerI actually like shopping online quite a bit, because there’s no pressure, you can partake in sales (so few are in-store!), read reviews while you’re shopping with ease, and if you need to, return without having to deal with any sales associate.

Rant & Rave

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about BB Creams!

my answer: I feel short-changed that what we get sold as BB Creams here in the U.S. are largely NOT really BB creams, so I think it’s muddied the waters and not given us the product that has done so well overseas. As a result, I just haven’t been that interested in trying them.

How important is it to you that a lip product be hydrating? Does it depend on the type of lip product?

Temptalia's AnswerI expect that lip products shouldn’t be drying, and in a perfect world, even lip liner wouldn’t be drying. With lipsticks and glosses, I want light to moderate hydration. With a lip balm, it better be super hydrating!
