Where & how do you store your beauty products?

Where & how do you store your beauty products?

I’m fortunate enough to have a makeup room, which is a larger open space with a lot of walls, two doorways (to get to the guest room, you pass through my makeup room), and a walk-in closet. I have three larger dressers with 16 drawers each, and these hold most of my makeup. I have a vanity that...

As I was testing the newest Natasha Denona Mini Eyeshadow Palette (in Nude) this week, I was struck by how much I would love to see the mini format in a slew of other color combinations. Those of us who tend to like variety or flit between palettes likely don't need full-sized pans of eyeshadow, so...

Do you wait for reviews prior to making a beauty purchase?

Do you wait for reviews prior to making a beauty purchase?

If I have a skincare/haircare “issue” or “concern” I’m solving for, then I will absolutely look at reviews/guidance from friends, but for most makeup, I’m purchasing when it’s released so I don’t wait (or pay attention to) early reviews (I like to go in more “blind” with respect...

Have you ever done a low- or no-buy before?

Have you ever done a low- or no-buy before?

Not with beauty/makeup since buying is part of the “job” so-to-speak. I have done it in other areas of my life, like buying less clothes or shoes – I haven’t allowed myself to buy a scarf in five years because I had so many and never wore them (doesn’t get that cold, and I spend most of my...

What has worked best at curbing impulse buying?

What has worked best at curbing impulse buying?

I’m speaking from what’s worked for me in other areas that it can be easy to overindulge in, like clothes or shoes, that isn’t a “need” so much as a “want.” I like to keep what I have organized, as this helps me see what I have already and make me less likely to add to it. I really...
