Rant & Rave: Friends & Family Sales

Rant & Rave: Friends & Family Sales

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Friends & Family Sales!

my answer: I really feel like they come usually in PACKS! Like it won't just be one brand, it'll be five brands who all have similar sales going on. I don't like it when free shipping thresholds are really high (like $100+) or if...

Rant & Rave: Fall Makeup Collections

Rant & Rave: Fall Makeup Collections

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Fall Makeup Collections!

my answer: I love some of the smokier, edgier colors we see, and plum is always a favorite. However, sometimes I'd love to see some brighter shades to contrast against some of the darker colors in collections.

Rant & Rave: Scented Nail Polish

Rant & Rave: Scented Nail Polish

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Scented Nail Polish!

my answer: It kind of creeps me out, personally. There's something about getting odd hints of something-rather with polish-esque scents randomly throughout the day that doesn't do it for me!

Rant & Rave: Blotting Powders

Rant & Rave: Blotting Powders

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Blotting Powders!

my answer: It's not a product I use often, as I don't get too oily until 10-12 hours after wearing makeup. I usually just use a pressed powder as my blotting powder, so I don't have too much to say here!

Rant & Rave: Cream Highlighters

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Cream Highlighters!

my answer: For highlighting specific areas of the face, I prefer them over liquids, but for mixing in foundations, I find liquids to blend more easily with the existing base product (moisturizer or foundation).

Rant & Rave: Eyebrow Pencils

Rant & Rave: Eyebrow Pencils

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Eyebrow Pencils!

my answer: I wish they weren't quite as stiff--so many brow pencils seem like you have to tug a lot just to get some color out. I like that you can get a more precise line, though!

Rant & Rave: Teeth Whitening

Rant & Rave: Teeth Whitening

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Teeth Whitening!

my answer: It's not something I consider traditionally part of beauty, but it really is part of my beauty routine, as I'm a heavy coffee drinker so whitening is a necessity when wearing certain lip colors. It's never that comfortable to...

Rant & Rave: Tinted Lip Balm

Rant & Rave: Tinted Lip Balm

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Tinted Lip Balm!

my answer: It is rare that a tinted lip balm is both 1) tinted enough to show up, and 2) as or more hydrating than regular lip balm. I'm usually less impressed by this type of product on the whole!

Rant & Rave: Satin Eyeshadows

Rant & Rave: Satin Eyeshadows

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Satin Eyeshadows!

my answer: This is one of my favorite finishes, because they're easier to work with than a lot of mattes but not so shimmery that they're frosted, which makes them more versatile. Sometimes, though, they have so little shimmer that they...

Rant & Rave: Waterproof Eyeliner

Rant & Rave: Waterproof Eyeliner

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Waterproof Eyeliner!

my answer: The formula is often harder and less creamy, so it can be less comfortable to apply, but then they often stay on longer and better with less smudging. Sometimes taking them off can be a real pain!
