Type of beauty products you splurge on? Skincare.
Type of beauty products you can’t stop trying? Eyeshadow! Especially palettes. And nail polish, defintely a nail polish addiction. I have waaaaay more eyeshadow and nail polish then I could ever use in a lifetime.

I really need a 12-step program, though I’d rather have a 12 pan eye shadow palette!
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair, neutral.

Type of beauty products you can’t stop trying? Foundation, blushes, all kinds of face powders (highlighters/bronzers/finishing powders). I’m still trying to seek out the perfect look! Right now I’m playing a lot with Too Faced Milk Chocolate Soleil and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed in Moonstone… I really want to try Guerlain Lingerie de Peau foundation, but I have no vendors near me that sell Guerlain so I have no idea how I’ll pick up a sample or figure out my shade. 🙁

Type of beauty products you can’t stop trying? Again, lipstick. I’m always on the lookout for shades I don’t have or replacing lipsticks that don’t work for me with another better formula lipstick in the same shade. Foundation as well.
