Temptalia’s Tips

1. When it comes to staples, go for the products that you really, really love.  Quality over quantity; you don’t need ten foundations, you only need the one that provides the right coverage, finish, and shade for you.
2. RETURN WHAT DOES NOT WORK! Don’t be afraid to take advantage of return policies from retailers who offer one.
3. If you want to try a trendy product or color but don’t think it’s something you’ll love/use often, opt for a lower price point since you won’t use up the product.
4. Palettes/sets are great ways to have a lot of variety without spending a lot of money.
