Rant & Rave: Makeup Brush Sets

Rant & Rave: Makeup Brush Sets

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Makeup Brush Sets!

my answer: A lot of brush sets are, unfortunately, inferior in quality compared to the full-sized ones or ones sold individually, so that is the biggest downside. I love when companies create sets of brushes without sacrificing quality,...

Rant & Rave: Refillable Lipsticks

Rant & Rave: Refillable Lipsticks

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Refillable Lipsticks!

my answer: I know I own a few formulas that are supposed to be refillable, but honestly, I don't know that I've ever purchased a refill for one! I like the concept, and if you're on a budget, sometimes you can just buy the refill and...

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Pans

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Pans

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Eyeshadow Pans!

my answer: I love the versatility of buying just individual pans of eyeshadows, because you can create your own palettes, take a few with you, or take a lot with you! I also like that they're often a little cheaper than buying the individual...

Rant & Rave: Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes

Rant & Rave: Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Neutral Eyeshadow Palettes!

my answer: I think the obvious one is that there aren't enough cool-toned options out there. But in general, I really love them as I like my neutrals, and as I am warm-toned, I do have a lot options available to me.

Rant & Rave: Brow Powders

Rant & Rave: Brow Powders

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

my answer: Tone can be really important, and I think that a lot of brands think 2-3 shades is enough to cover... everyone... but I think brow lines should be more expansive. Thankfully, brow powder is a lot like regular powder eyeshadow, and...

Rant & Rave: Rollerball Perfumes

Rant & Rave: Rollerball Perfumes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Rollerball Perfumes!

my answer: I think they're amazing for traveling, unless they're poorly packaged and leak everywhere! They can get expensive (relative to full bottles), though. If you like a lot of scents and can't commit, they're a nice way to play...

Rant & Rave: Spring Collections

Rant & Rave: Spring Collections

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about spring beauty collections!

my answer: Sometimes they can run together when brands stick too closely to typical spring themes (e.g. pastels) - I like when brands mix elements of what you think of when you think of spring with something unusual. I love the...

Rant & Rave: Glitter Eyeliner

Rant & Rave: Glitter Eyeliner

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

my answer: It's hard to find a glitter eyeliner that doesn't somehow get into the eye, and depending on the size of the glitter, it can be really irritating and cause so much watering that the look is ruined! But I love the sparkling...

Rant & Rave: Lip Balm

Rant & Rave: Lip Balm

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

my answer: I wish they were more that had higher SPF ratings! I love lip balms that last at least a few hours on lips, because so many just disappear SO quickly that you feel like you're always re-applying.

Rant & Rave: Eye Cream

Rant & Rave: Eye Cream

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

my answer: I'm not sold on the idea of eye cream as a whole; I'm just not convinced they're necessary if you're using an effective moisturizer/serum on your face already, though I'm sure they have benefits and work well for some (and less well for...
