What makes you uncomfortable purchasing a product?

What makes you uncomfortable purchasing a product?

These days, it has more to do with problematic brands/brand owners than individual products, though a collection that is problematic would make me uncomfortable purchasing as well.

Charlotte Tilbury

I don’t find myself all that drawn to Charlotte Tilbury products off the bat; like I don’t hear about a new release and get particularly excited, but some of my very favorite products are by Charlotte Tilbury (Hollywood Flawless Filter, Filmstar Bronze & Glow, Hollywood Light Wands). The brand has a tendency to release everything in the same wheelhouse, though, and I think they could do a substantially better job releasing color cosmetics that would work on more skin tones.

How much research do you do prior to purchasing?

How much research do you do prior to purchasing?

In beauty, not much, since I tend to purchase new products sight unseen and don’t read reviews ahead of time so I can form my own opinion! In other areas of my life, I definitely do a fair amount of research for anything more expensive.

Have you purchased used makeup?

Have you purchased used makeup?

I have many years ago (over 15 years ago), but I don’t do so now. I’m less comfortable now than I was then, and I have the budget to buy new, so I’d definitely lean that way in the future.

Has the increase in pre-made palettes impacted your interest in eyeshadow singles?

Has the increase in pre-made palettes impacted your interest in eyeshadow singles?

I don’t think it’s changed how interested I am singles — singles make me happy, and they are often the best of what eyeshadow has to offer, but palettes are infinitely more popular with the larger community so I would prioritize reviewing a new palette over singles!
