How much do you rely on consumer-written reviews at retailers/brands' websites?
How much do you rely on consumer-written reviews at retailers/brands' websites?
In beauty, not much as I tend to purchase based on newness more than anything else, so there may not be reviews or I am going to review so I avoid being exposed to other reviews (to go in “fresh”).

How important is finishing a makeup product?
How important is finishing a makeup product?
For me, my goal is to try and photograph/swatch/review what I buy, because in the past, I’d get overambitious and purchase way, way more than I could feasibly get to. It’s rare that I have a meaningful chunk of time to catch up on my backlog (it’s more like, hey, here’s a day or two every...

Do you enjoy "highlighting blushes"?
YES! I love a blush with enough shimmer to double as a highlighter, but I’m routinely “more shimmer” over subtle as a personal preference. I also find they’re easier to apply than more matte blushes, so that is another bonus!

Rant & Rave: Sheer Lipstick
Rant & Rave: Sheer Lipstick
Tell us what you love and hate about...
Sheer Lipstick
Rave: I like that sheerer lipsticks tend to be creamier, more hydrating, and have a smoother finish on my lips. Semi-rant: I personally prefer my formulas to be more buildable–I don’t need full-on opacity but need closer to medium coverage or else they just run together and look a bit too much like lip balm (and in that case, I’d rather just wear lip balm!). The other downside is some of those formulas can last 2-3 hours and need so much reapplication!

How do body highlighters fit into your regular routine?
How do body highlighters fit into your regular routine?
