Temptalia had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Linsey Snyder, aged 29, who is the president and CEO of Face Time Cosmetics. She runs her own cosmetics line, as well as does side work on television shows, socialites, celebrities, and editorial spreads. She’s been working as an artist since she was “old enough to have makeup of [her] own and [had] friends who wanted makeovers!” Her education has stemmed mostly through learning from magazines as well as classes taught by James Vincent at The Powder Group in New York City.

Linsey, as generous as she is, has donated Beauty In a Box in Stunning ($90 value) for a Temptalia giveaway contest! Enter by leaving commenting on the interview (a real, substantive comment – don’t just say hi!) by 11:59 PST November 2nd. One random, LUCKY winner will be selected November 3rd!

Before you can win, though, you have to read the interview!

MAC COSMETICS | FINERY COLLECTION REVIEW, SWATCHES, PHOTOS

Overall, I loved Finery way more than Curiositease, but I think it’s because I really am a lip girl sometimes. I adore the packaging of the lipsticks; they’re white cases with the Antiquitease gold/silver crown motif on them. The lipglasses are mini-sized, but their caps also have the white casing and detailing of the lipsticks. I’m not lovin’ the bag so much, only because I have no clue what I will do with them! I know I’m not storing my Finery products in them, otherwise I’d never reach for any of it. I’m quite pleased with the colors that came out with each set, too. There really isn’t a set I’d want to miss, but if I had to pick, my favorite Plum lips or Pink lips. Have I mentioned that I adore the names of all of the holiday products? So classy and fun.

MAC COSMETICS | CURIOSITEASE COLLECTION, REVIEW, SWATCHES, PRODUCT IMAGES, PHOTOS

Overall, Curiositease is a gorgeously packed opportunity for MAC fans to try out a variety of lipglasses, plushglasses, soft sparkle liners, and pigments without buying them individually at higher prices. I felt like each set had a good mix of colors – some bold, some soft.  I loved the stylish packaging of the canvas holders with crown motif emblazoned on the side. If you were wondering what to do with these, they make excellent makeup holders for brushes, liners, mascara, etc. If I had to pick favorites, I’d probably go with the warm lipglass/lustreglass and cool pigment sets.
