What do you like to see from brand owners on social media?

I love seeing behind-the-scenes moments — like when you see brands rejecting colors or sharing parts of the process to getting a product from creation to production. For example, I love seeing Pat McGrath’s inspiration leading up to a launch, her looks created for Fashion Week, etc. I just want...

Rant & Rave: Tinted Moisturizer

Rant & Rave: Tinted Moisturizer

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Tinted Moisturizer

When I feel pretty good about my skin, I enjoy them for quick, slap-on-and-go makeup, but I tend to reach for buildable, medium coverage foundations (whatever I’m currently hooked on) even if I don’t necessarily need the coverage. I wish they had deeper shade ranges/more diverse undertones, though, as most brands have limited shade ranges.

Once you find a favorite product in a category, do you stop looking for better products?

Once you find a favorite product in a category, do you stop looking for better products?

I feel like I stop actively seeking out products in that category; like I’m not driven to find a better match, better formula, etc. and consuming reviews, but if something releases and seems to be well-reviewed, I would be curious and consider trying it, even if what I had was working well for me.

When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

If it’s something I can actually use and feel like I’ll go through, I may get a backup, but I usually just move on. I’ve found that I’m slow to get through backups no matter what, and I also tend to use more recently released products when I do get to return to things anyway.

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?

The one that comes to mind first is Guerlain Parure Gold (which has since been reformulated/rereleased but isn’t the same), and I ended up replacing it with Tarte’s Rainforest of the Sea (which is quite nice, so I don’t miss Parure Gold much these days).
