What kind of new launches are you most tempted by?

What kind of new launches are you most tempted by?

How do you navigate through beauty Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

How do you navigate through beauty Black Friday/Cyber Monday sales?

These days, it has to be pretty compelling — like 20% or higher, free shipping, etc. I also prefer brands that release their deals ahead of time instead of holding them back until they’re live so that I can plan where and how I want to spend my money. If you’re going to be tight-lipped, then...

Black Friday/Cyber Monday Sales

How do you avoid impulse purchasing in beauty?

How do you avoid impulse purchasing in beauty?

Do you use wish lists for beauty products you want?

Do you use wish lists for beauty products you want?

I don’t since I have the privilege of buying products to review so there’s not much I’m wanting that isn’t… already… purchased. I don’t keep wish lists in other areas of my life until Christmas comes around, then I usually put together some items for family.
