Last time you returned a beauty product? I can’t recall? Other than back in the day when Euristocrats was released because the red lipstick that came in the collection just didn’t work for me at all… and it looked fuchsia on the website >. <

Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium (NC25/30).

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes: Sometime in November. I normally wash them every other weekend, but I haven’t been wearing eyeshadow for a while so I haven’t washed them recently.

Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash: Two weeks ago. Every month or so I go through my makeup, clean everything with wipes (including my makeup bag), and give away/throw whatever I’m not using/is expired.

Last time you returned a beauty product: I honestly can’t remember. Maybe in the spring? I don’t buy that much and I read reviews before I purchase anything, so I rarely make returns.

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? I cleaned a couple of eyeshadow brushes, a blush brush, and a powder brush this morning. I try not to let things I’ve used sit uncleaned for more than a week!
Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? A couple of weeks ago, I took stock of everything
Last time you returned a beauty product? Earlier this week, I returned Urban Decay Sin eyeshadow primer; I love the regular uncolored UD eye primer, but Sin was really wet on my eye, and anything I put on top would crease or apply unevenly because of the moist surface!

My skintone coloring is Light Olive. I have dark brown eyes and died blue/black hair (natural hair is dark brown with *gasp* grey).

Last time I cleaned my makeup brushes was about two weeks ago, gave them a real good swirl.

Cleaned out my makeup stash last week. I work for Sephora, and I not only purchase a ton, but I’m given a bunch in “gratis” as well. So, it adds up quick!

Last time I returned something was two weeks ago or so. I purchased this Illamasqua mystery set. It had that mystery white glob on it that I’ve seen other people talking about. It also looked like a few products melted then solidified. Nasty.

Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? Last month! Now it is messy again. 🙁
Last time you returned a beauty product? I don’t return makeup if I buy it. It’s the sanitary thing…and I would feel bad. I just toss it or pass it on to family or friends. Or they just take em.

Gsha Avatar

They’re not going to resell a used product so it’s totally OK to make returns. It’ll go back to the mfg as used/damaged/etc. If it’s unused, I’m not sure. Some places put it back out on the shelf, some don’t. Like Sephora, they have to mark it, and take it at a loss. You can totally return stuff and not worry so much about the sanitary thing.

Skin tone/colouring: Fair, cool
Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes: Actually, last night I did about 4 eye shadow brushes, a foundation brush and my powder blush brush (which I rarely wash!)
Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash: about a week ago (and that was to make MORE ROOM for new stuff!)
Last time you returned a beauty product: I rarely return products (I do a lot of research ahead of a purchase and almost always check/see the product in store) but the last one I returned was a Paint Pot from MAC’s Cham-Pale collection and that has to be at least 2 years ago.

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? 2 days ago. I clean them every week. Sometimes my foundation brush every few days. Good thing it’s synthetic!
Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? Last week actually. Making some room if I get any Christmas gifts. 🙂
Last time you returned a beauty product? I usually don’t. Last thing I can remember was a NARS blush palette. I didn’t realize the blushes weren’t full size so I figured it was a better idea to buy a few full sized blushes I wanted then have the palette with some colors I didn’t like.

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? About 2 & 1/2 weeks ago with some spot cleaning in-between. I don’t wear makeup everyday and I don’t feel like my powder brushes get THAT dirty–just concealer and foundation brushes.
Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? Don’t remember for sure. I go through it periodically and move stuff I use less often out of the bathroom.
Last time you returned a beauty product? I think it was the L’Oreal Voluminous Million Lashes this summer. That stuff seems pretty popular, but I thought it was really wet for a mascara.

Last time you returned a beauty product? Hmm, don’t do this often. I think I may have returned brushes to Sephora, simply because I never used them once after I bought them. Wound up replacing it with the MAC 239 – the better investment. 😉

Skin tone: Very fair with pink undertones.

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes : last week. I have a lot with several duplicates so I don’t have to worry about cleaning brushes every day, but I do give all the dirty ones a good cleaning every Monday.

Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash: I tend to throw stuff out every other week, but usually it’s one thing here or there as it either reaches the point where it’s not really sanitary, or I realize I’m never going to use it. If it’s still good I’m more likely to give it to a friend.

Last time you returned a beauty product: about a week ago. I bought a bunch of the NYX jumbo eye pencils only to find out that they absolutely don’t work for me. Ulta has a very nice return policy and let me take them back.

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? I’m currently in the progress of cleaning them now. Last time I cleaned then was 2.5 months ago, right before school started up. I know…it’s bad to wait that long.

Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? Actually, it was about 3 days ago! I got rid of all of my NYX products and some old eyeshadows, and products that had broken packaging, beyond repair, yet I had been holding on for years.

Last time you returned a beauty product? So far I have yet to return a beauty product, but believe me, if necessary I will because there is a lot of hard earned money that goes into my cosmetic purchases. I try to be VERY careful about what I buy.

Your skin tone/coloring: quite fair warm, strong yellow undertone

Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes? Can’t remember. I do not use brushes for foundation, concealer or other liquid/creme products. I spot clean my powder brushes every time I use one. Probably 2-3 a year they all get a good cleaning in 90% alcohol.

Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash? Cleaned out my eyeshadows about a month ago when I reorganized them. I’m a shadow girl, they make up about 70% of my collection. I also have a lot of liners, mostly pencils. I guess I have a lot of foundation type products as well, about 8 that I rotate through, and a couple put away I hardly ever touch but keep around in case I need them (colorstay for one). The last time I did a major clean out was two years ago when I pretty much tossed everything (I did not have nearly as much then) and started over. My version of the “mid life crisis” lol.
Last time you returned a beauty product? Yesterday.. exchanged the UD Vice palette. Was not impressed, so many of the colors were too difficult to work with, patchy and muddy, and many of my favorites were impossible to use.. flaky, glittery and do not transfer to or stay on the eye. I’ve had bad luck with UD shadows in general, don’t think I’m going to buy anymore. The original formula killed my eyes, made them itch, burn, and water. The new formula does not hurt, but I just feel the blendability and fallout of too many of them is unacceptable at that price point. I have shadows that cost a few dollars I like better. I did a purple eye with the Vice palette that took me 20 minutes of fighting with it and was a muddy mess, and broke down way too soon in the day.. did a very similar look the next day with an Almay palette I bought for $4 at Walmart that was 100x better, and looked good all day. FYI I exchanged it for the Sephora/Pantone metallic palette.. it’s so much prettier in person than in photos, worth a swatch if you are in Sephora.

• Your skin tone/coloring:
Fair neutral (between 15 & 20 MAC). Most foundations are either too pink or too yellow. There are not enough neutral foundations out there!
Hazel eyes
Medium brown hair

• Last time you cleaned your makeup brushes?
Last weekend – and i haven’t used any makeup since.
I usually spot clean after each use and thoroughly wash once a week.

• Last time you cleaned out your makeup stash?
Depends what you mean by “cleaned”…
I keep my stuff organized by type and color. And everything is inventoried with dates purchased. So i know right where to find a color and it goes back when i’m done.
As far as throwing away stuff, Mascaras get purged first, i just tossed one a few days ago. Automatic pencils tend to age badly, too.
I keep some old stuff because it’s special – Biba and Mary Quant i got in the late 60s and early 70s

• Last time you returned a beauty product?
Returned a lip gloss to sephora a couple months ago – looked pretty in the tube, had no color on my lips.

Skin tone: fair with a golden/warm undertone, approximately nc15-20 in Mac with dark brown hair and eyes
Brushes: I cleaned them two days ago although I don’t wear foundation or much in the way of face makeup so I don’t have to clean them super often
Stash: I cleaned it out a few weeks ago, throwing out two old concealers, a mascara, and an eyeliner, although I don’t have a ton of makeup so it doesn’t pile up
Return: I don’t think I’ve ever returned a beauty product as I research and think about it pretty extensively before purchasing something

Fair to light with warm undertones (NC15-NC20) – I LOVE it when I’m pale enough to wear NC15, it matches perfectly. In summer I warm up, but NC20 can look not quite right. I’m trying now to mix a little of my NC15 with my NC20 to see if that helps.

I cleaned my brushes on the weekend, and I’m thinking of washing my 187 again after I do my makeup today. I’ve started washing my brushes as needed, rather than doing them all at once. I use conditioning baby shampoo.

I did a BIG clean out of my stash about a year ago. Tossed lots of old things which I never used. Now I try to use most of my items every now and then.

I just exchanged a Balm Jovi palette yesterday, it’s a christmas gift for my sister-in-law. My boyfriend bought it on my direction, but being a boy he forgot to check that it hadn’t been opened up and swatched/touched, which it had. So I exchanged it for an unused one yesterday. Last time I returned something was to The Body Shop, in about July. I reacted to some skincare, sadly!

Coloring: super pale, the lightest shade of anything, cool toned
Last cleaning: I clean my foundation brush daily and the others bi-weekly, unless I use them for a liquid or cream product, then they get washed after that use.
Last purging: probably two months ago. I have a TINY bathroom with very little storage space so I am trying to be better about having only what I will use frequently. I did throw out a tube of eye primer last week because it was causing a rash on my eyelids, having such little storage also makes it difficult to put up with products I don’t like taking up valuable real estate.
Last returned product: Skin FX foundation. It was awful! Thick, difficult to blend, separated with any other product I tried and made me break out for weeks!

Very fair with golden undertone (so hard to find the right foundation..)

I’m a bad girl, I don’t remember the last time I cleaned them ): Probably a month and a half ago, yikes. But I don’t use brushes for foundation so it’s not terrible.

I cleaned it out a couple weeks ago, I try to do that frequently enough.

Last time was a couple months ago but next time will be within the month! Yet another foundation has failed me and I want my 34 dollars back. Lets see if NARS has my shade! I think Siberia might be perfect (:

Couple of months ago, I don’t really buy things that I don’t want or are bad quality. I read a lot of reviews.
I TRIED to return a Bobbi Brown lipstick that I really expected better from. I didn’t even wind it all the way up and the lipstick broke off and fell on the floor – they wouldn’t return it. Admittedly I had used it for a while but I was shocked – I’ve never had a cheaper lippie break on me.

I think a week or two ago, when I had to rearrange to make room for my new Burberry quads. I keep my makeup very neat and organized.
Several weeks ago. It was Burberry light glow in Rose Blush. It was way too bright for my comfort level and it was too expensive to just put in a drawer and never use.
