What was the last blush and highlighter combo you loved?

Not really a pairing I came up with, but Natasha Denona Love Cheek Duo, which has a highlighter and cream blush.

What were the last two eye palettes you paired together?

What were the last two eye palettes you paired together?

I believe it was Pat McGrath Midnight Sun and Pat McGrath Nocturnal Nirvana! I loved how it turned out… no surprises there.

Do you tend rely on a single eye palette or do you combine eye palettes for a look?

Do you tend rely on a single eye palette or do you combine eye palettes for a look?

If I want to be more creative, then I often grab two to pair together, but if I’m in a rush or just looking for something reliable, then I will just use one palette–more likely if I’m going for a neutral eye.

What eye palette did you love when it came out but wouldn't impress you as much now?

What eye palette did you love when it came out but wouldn't impress you as much now?

I actually went back several years (like 2015 and before), and I still think those palettes that I listed as “best” for the year were really lovely. So, instead, I think maybe Urban Decay’s Naked palette, which I really enjoyed at the time would be less impressive to me – more with respect...

What product did you expect to use often but find you don't reach for much?

What product did you expect to use often but find you don't reach for much?

Everything and nothing! I don’t expect to use most beauty products often, aside from things like skincare/hair care. I bought a few backups of Good Molecules Niacinimide serum, which I have gone through many bottles of in the past, but I’ve been rotating through some other products containing...

La Mer The Soft Fluid Foundation. I’m mad at myself for loving it because it’s got a stupidly high price point, but it works really well on my skin almost all the time–even when I’m flakier. I also find it has the right level of coverage/spreadability to combine well with illuminating...

What brand's releases have been overrated in the last year?

What brand's releases have been overrated in the last year?

I want to say either Wayne Goss Cosmetics or Tom Ford. I’ve found Wayne Goss Cosmetics to be pretty underwhelming (particularly compared to the brushes, which I’ve enjoyed for years), both in terms of quality and the kind of products released. Tom Ford feels like the brand has been spinning its...

What brand's releases have been underrated in the last year?

Honestly, it feels like a lot of brands are spoken highly of! I’d be more inclined to say an indie brand, but I don’t think they’re brands that aren’t rated well by the demographic that tends to purchase from them.

What are three products that you really should declutter?

What are three products that you really should declutter?

Urban Decay’s older eyeshadows (so way more than three!), now that they’ve come out with a reformulation. I typically recycle/donate (usually, the products are too old to donate in this instance) once a brand reformulates a core range. At most, I’ll keep a few interesting shades that weren’t...
