Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Oh holidays! I would actually love to see color-coordinated product inspiration. Does that sound totally weird? Hope you see what I mean! Also the traditional “For Mom, “for the one who loves candies”, etc.

I think having it organized by type of looks would be helpful. For example, I’d like to give something to my mom, but she wears a lot of neutral eyeshadows and lipsticks. Then I have a friend who likes a lot of color is more daring. Knowing what to get them by their preferences would be super helpful.

When it comes to other beauty products besides makeup, I think it having it organized by recipient is cool…or maybe age range.

Hey Christine! I realized another thing I’d like to see – because of the economy…some budget gifts and posts about deals (friends and family discounts, GWP’s, etc.). Thanks!

Piggy backing on the deals comment, I would like to see maybe the splurge vs save guide. Perhaps if I wanted a bright red lipstick, what should I get if I want to splurge, and what should I get if I want to save.

How about these?:

– Grouping gifts by price range (under $20, $20-$30, etc.)

-Products catagorized by looks you want to achieve (dramatic, bright, natural, etc.)

– I also like Mary W.’s idea about having a starter’s kit/essentials guide to makeup
