For me, I will exchange wrong shades of foundations or broken products. If I bought it to review, I keep it, even if it was bad.
Happy Wednesday! Here's this week's survey, which you can copy and paste and share as a comment.
I think they have been around for awhile, but a prescription, topical antibiotic and Differin made a huge difference to my skin in terms of acne. The plethora of information out there now about skincare, ingredients used it in, etc. make it a lot easier to at least start in the right place!
There's something afoot when it comes to Anastasia's Subculture Palette. The reviews range from "I don't have any issues" to "worst palette" and unusable, and many of the people who are finding it unusable are by no means novices. These reviews come from consumers, readers here, and influencers...

I think it'd be fun to go through what we used, purchased, resisted, and so forth each month, here are some questions:
I really like satiny finishes more than shimmer/frost/metallic shades. I also tend to prefer more forgiving blushes re: pigmentation – either that I can use a lighter hand to get less coverage or it is buildable.
I love how much variety is available online, and since I don’t mind purchasing blind or online, I also like how a lot of products release online faster than in stores. A lot of retailers could stand to improve their reward/loyalty programs–there are a lot of choices to purchase from, so it makes me less loyal without something extra to keep me purchasing more from one place. I think the only retailer that does a really good job with their reward program is Ulta.

I’ve branched out from just coral, LOL! Now, I’ll wear all finishes and shades. For my go-to shades, they’re more a mix of plum, mauve, rosy brown, and coral.
