I’m fortunate that I test products all the time, so since I’m working through full-sized products to test, I don’t often use sample packets/products. If a product is really interesting, I tend to purchase the full-sized version unless it’s something like fragrance where I’ll purchase the...
I definitely prefer pretty high pigmentation in most instances, though I don’t mind semi-opaque and buildable matte eyeshadows. I think matte tends to work better when they can be built up, as they’re often more forgiving and easier to blend out. I like getting true-to-pan color as that makes it easier to figure out what to pair together!

I think understanding how colors blend together (and how readily they’ll blend into each other or what they’ll blend and create) is a starting point. The next step is learning about what kind of colors you like to wear. I think just about anything can go together, but it’s often in the eye of...

Happy Saturday! I always enjoy seeing what makes up the week's top ten highest-reviewed products, so I hope you find it somewhat interesting as well! :)

Share your recent beauty purchases or rediscovered favorites in your stash (for those on low/no-buys!), chit chat about weekend plans, and learn a little more about each other!
Not for me! Many, many years ago, I would buy backups of limited edition products I “loved,” but over the years, I have learned that variety is nice. Though something might be a favorite, something new and a little different can be as lovely and as enjoyable in the future.
No matter how much...
Sparingly because I test new stuff most of the time, though I certainly use my favorite base and staple products (like brows, mascara, etc.) more often. I know that if I could, I would definitely wear my favorites more often than not. It’s one thing if I was almost done with a favorite that I...
