What kind of holiday sets or kits do you enjoy the most?

What kind of holiday sets or kits do you enjoy the most?

I like sets that have bundled individual products, so a mini lipstick kit or travel-sized blushes because I think that it can be hard to finish products, so it’s nice to have variety AND spend less to get it.

What are some holiday palettes you'd love to see?

What are some holiday palettes you'd love to see?

I’d love to see something in the spirit of Pat McGrath’s Decadence palette–those rich metallics–but in a more cohesive story (so mattes and satins with those rich metallics), perhaps a combo of jewel-tones, like ruby red, emerald green, and sapphire, plus your typical golds but maybe one...

Will your holiday beauty spending stay the same, go up, or be reduced?

Will your holiday beauty spending stay the same, go up, or be reduced?

Melt Cosmetics

I think they put out a lot of eyeshadow shades that are underrepresented by most brands (whether singles or not), and it’s a shame that their quality isn’t more consistent.

Have you purchased from a brand collaboration even if you weren't in love with the products?

What makes a collaboration product or collection well-done?

What makes a collaboration product or collection well-done?

I like seeing thoughtfulness / tie-ins from packaging to the names to the kind of shades. I don’t need a literal translation of the makeup looks worn in a particular movie, but I want to see the aesthetic or the look and feel of the world it is set in. For individuals/influencers/celebrities, I...
