The smell, followed by the texture–how thick, thin, and/or tacky it may be and how well it seems to “sink” into my skin initially.
I’ll notice how wet/dry it is, which will tend to inform me on how I’m going to use it and what I’ll apply it with.
I tend to notice the opacity first, followed by whether it catches on lip texture/lines.
Hope your weekend is starting off on the right note! Every Saturday, I like to share the top 10 products from the last week of reviews. It's a nice way to highlight what reviews have been published recently. Similarly, I love reading--and I know others enjoy sharing!--their own "week in review"...
I find that I tend to think about how well it spreads across my skin and how many lines are visible when used with a brush! I will also notice if it tends to cling to any dryness.
Share your recent beauty purchases or rediscovered favorites in your stash (for those on low/no-buys!), chit chat about weekend plans, and learn a little more about each other!
Texture! I am not THAT picky–I don’t think!–about texture but it’s often what distinguishes a great cleanser from a good cleanser for me, especially for whatever I’m using in the morning.
Mostly! The only issue I’ve had with mini sets is that they can be more prone to breaking compared to full-size, but I like being able to to try more shades for less money (or the same as one full-size shade).
Overall, yes! It takes awhile to finish powder eyeshadow, so smaller sizes work well, just as long the quality is still there.
