Do you feel compelled to keep up with or purchase new releases?
Do you feel compelled to keep up with or purchase new releases?
HAHA, of course!! This question is less for me and more for readers to answer. Newer releases, whether limited edition or permanent, tend to take precedence over older/existing products, but there are some permanent ranges that are important to have covered. It is, though, easier for me to cover a...

Has the influx of pre-made palettes changed how you approach your routine?
Has the influx of pre-made palettes changed how you approach your routine?
For me, they actually have. On a regular basis, I’m pretty much testing eyeshadow palettes exclusively; like there are a few times a year when a brand might drop some eyeshadow singles (NARS reformulation) or I try a new range (Sydney Grace) but the majority of eyeshadow products I test are from...

Have you become more or less brand loyalty over the last few years?

How has the influx in product releases impacted your purchasing decisions?
I’ve had to become a more efficient reviewer, and I’ve also had to spend a lot more time figuring out what I can an can’t review, what to focus on, what brands to let go of, etc. I’ve been purchasing and reviewing more products in the last five years, but I run around the same rate – like...

Rant & Rave: Viseart
Tell us what you love and hate about...
Viseart
I love their eyeshadows, particularly when they do satins and pearls, which so few brands do. I think they have some gorgeous color schemes in their arranged palettes, and I appreciate that they’ve put out more consumer-friendly palettes (and sizes) over the years. I’d love to see more expansion into other types of products, and I’d love to see some more unusual palette color combinations.

What criteria do you currently use when deciding to buy (or not buy)?
I look at what readers engage with (views, comments, loves/leaves/wishlist, likes on social media, etc.) from type of product, what brands, and what specifics products performed well (or didn’t). I also look at what is “buzzy” in the community and brands that are new or formulas that seem...
