Have you ever stayed late/woke up early for a product release? Worth it?

Not in awhile! I can’t remember the last release I really went out of my way to stay up for/wake up early for–the older I get, the more I just need my sleep, LOL. I just barely made it to midnight PST for Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale last year… that’s probably the closest.

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Facial Mists

I’m not sold on them as I’m never sure they’re really doing anything – I tend to use actual setting sprays more than I do just facial mists, but they sure do feel nice!
