Rant & Rave: Twist-Up Eyeliners

Rant & Rave: Twist-Up Eyeliners

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Twist-Up Eyeliners!

my answer: I love that they're often really creamy, soft, pigmented, and you don't need to sharpen (so you won't waste anything), but they're all soooo tiny in amount. It's hard to believe that with a regular pencil (0.04 oz. vs. 0.01...

Rant & Rave: Bright Lipstick

Rant & Rave: Bright Lipstick

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Bright Lipstick!

my answer: I love how it can be the focal point of a look, because it can take a couple of minutes to apply and then you're done with your look! It's a nice way to look "put together" with less effort. They can sometimes be high...

Rant & Rave: Mattifying Face Primers

Rant & Rave: Mattifying Face Primers

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Mattifying Face Primers!

my answer: Sometimes they're packed with too many silicones, which almost feels like a fake... velvety feel to me? I think I can be pickier with the texture of silicone-heavy products. I love that they help keep makeup lasting...

Rant & Rave: Finishing Powders

Rant & Rave: Finishing Powders

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

my answer: Five years ago, I probably would have said, "What's the point?" For the past couple of years, though, I'm all about a great finishing powder! They really do finish a look--and I think the effect is more noticeable in person, as...

Rant & Rave: Gift with Purchases

Rant & Rave: Gift with Purchases

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Gift with Purchases!

my answer: I love when they're larger sizes, whether half-size or full-size, rather than a bunch that are really, really small (like packets of skin care). They can be great ways to stock-up on travel-friendly favorites for quick...

Rant & Rave: Tweezers

Rant & Rave: Tweezers

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Tweezers!

my answer: I don't like when they dull really quickly! I love a great slanted edge with a slight point that isn't too sharp but is still enough to grab even the tiniest hairs.

Rant & Rave: Flat Irons

Rant & Rave: Flat Irons

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Flat Irons!

my answer: I don't use a flat iron regularly, but one thing I don't like is when it is too easy to burn your fingers because of how certain things are placed or sized. I love that they're pretty easy to use, though, and have an easy learning...

Rant & Rave: Eye Brushes

Rant & Rave: Eye Brushes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Eye Brushes!

my answer: One of my favorite brushes is MAC's 239, and surprisingly, it's not duped by 400 brands, and I don't know why. I could just get by with this brush for all areas of the eye if I needed to (and when I first got into makeup, I did). I...

Rant & Rave: Crease Brushes

Rant & Rave: Crease Brushes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Crease Brushes!

my answer: There is such a fine line between tapered and pointed, fluffy and barely-there. I love that there is SO much variety in the types of crease brushes one can try, but I find they can really depend on preference, eye shape, and...

Rant & Rave: Face Brushes

Rant & Rave: Face Brushes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Face Brushes!

my answer: When face brushes shed (more than just initially), it drives me bananas! Those little hairs can be a total pain to remove from the face. Really dense face brushes can also be a challenge to clean, as so much product can get trapped...
