Applying eyeshadow, especially color, always makes me happy! I love creating different combos by layering gloss and lipstick together. My third is moment where you’ve finished applying your makeup and it all comes together (well, hopefully).

At this point, my experience says not so much when it comes to quality of the product itself. The packaging is likely better in some aspect: more complex/interesting/different, sturdier, and/or heavier, but the actual product? Could be total garbage or a new holy grail.

A steady stream of purchases (I’m around $6,000 year-to-date) but a feeling that there’s been a bit of slowdown in color releases (particularly eyeshadow) — in a good way — though lip products continue to release relentlessly!

For my personal life, not at all. I just need it to hold its shape in a drawer as I very rarely travel (and tend to avoid it at all costs!). ideally, though, I’d want something that could withstand being put into a makeup bag and packed securely (e.g. wrapped with clothes).

There aren’t enough satin-to-pearl finish blushes, especially in a real light-to-dark spectrum of shades and undertones. I love when blush adds a subtle glow to my skin but can still be layered with highlighter (of all intensities).
