What beauty brand is always worth the splurge? Share!

Temptalia's AnswerThere are a few! Guerlain, Burberry, Le Metier de Beaute… I like a lot of Tom Ford’s products, but I have run into some not-so-great ones, too. I know I’m forgetting some!

Are you more inclined to try a product that gets a lot of buzz/hype? Or does it put you off?

Temptalia's AnswerIt honestly depends! Sometimes it motivates me to try it sooner rather than later, and other times I feel like I’ve heard/seen it too much that I want to skip over it because it feels like everyone else has already talked about it enough.

Have you bought beauty products as a Father’s Day gift before? Share your favorite buys for the men (fathers, grandfathers, uncles, brothers, partners, etc.!) in our lives!

Temptalia's AnswerNot very often, but I definitely have! I actually did quite a bit for this year – I bought more nail care for my dad (who’s still having trouble with his nails). Mellan also bought Shaun a fancy razor, razor blades, and an Art of Shaving Sandalwood kit. He’s such a nice son ;)

Have you hidden beauty purchases from friends, family, or a significant other? Share!

Temptalia's AnswerI’ve definitely downplayed how much I might have bought on occasion with family (at least in the beginning), but I definitely don’t hide any of my purchases from Shaun–but it certainly helps that it’s “for the business.” :)

How do you figure out what colors go together? Share your process :)

Temptalia's AnswerA lot of is just practice, practice, practice! Warmer shades tend to go better with other warm shades (and same with cool and cool), but they can be mixed. I like to go with two warmer areas (say eyes and cheeks) and then a cooler lip – but it can just depend on how everything comes together. One way to test drive a combination without committing is by swatching the shades on your hand or arm.
