Do you use wish lists for beauty products you want?

I don’t since I have the privilege of buying products to review so there’s not much I’m wanting that isn’t… already… purchased. I don’t keep wish lists in other areas of my life until Christmas comes around, then I usually put together some items for family.

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!

Absolutely, yes, I do! One of my personal favorite things about your site, but only after your reviews and occasional editorial pieces, is the “Wishlist” feature. This helps me to prioritize which purchases I will indulge in first. Or perhaps reminding me about ones I’ve had on the backburner for a bit too long, too. As for a written out list, I do occasionally have one. Especially for a new, large scale release.

I keep a wishlist on sephora to make it easier to reach a purchase threshold if there’s a perk I want, or if there’s a sale and something was too expensive for my budget. It’s not a wishlist per se, more of a don’t- forget- these-things list.

Yup! I have a wishlist on my laptop’s virtual sticky note. I’m on a semi-permanent low-buy so I can’t just go out and buy everything that catches my eye, but I like to keep track. This is what’s on it right now:

NARS Dolce Vita blush
NARS Intriguing pencil
Nabla Alchemist
Smashbox Primer Water
Lancome Soir
Glossier Storm
Bobbi Brown Ruby
Melt Voyeur & Mural & Stepford
Sydney Grace The Greatest Gift & Lemon Cream
Shiro Silver Apple

(NARS Dolce Vita blush and Glossier Storm are apparently dupes but I haven’t decided which one I want to go with.)

Sometimes. I used to use the Sephora online Loves list to keep track of things I wanted to reorder, but now they have a new format where you can do that with a dedicated list for previously ordered items, so I might start using the wishlist (Loves) for its intended purpose, but I’m trying to minimize purchases at Sephora and get what I can from Ulta. I’ve just recently started using the My Favorites list at Ulta — don’t know why it took me so long; is it new? Maybe I just dididn’t notice it before. A few indie companies have wishlists on their websites, and I’ll add stuff, but I often forget to look at them, then end up not remembering something I wanted until after it’s been discontinued.

I’ve never had a written (or digital) wishlist outside of whatever companies provide on their websites.
