What are three products that you've rediscovered?

Sara Happ The Dream Slip/The Lip Slip has become a go-to since Bite Beauty reformulated their lip balm, and it used to be a big favorite in the past. I’ve been wearing Tom Ford Plum Japonais perfume more often, which was an old favorite but not something I’ve worn as much recently! I tend to...

What are three products that have caught your eye?

What new brand (in the last year or so) ended up impressing you?

What attracts to you to a new release first?

What attracts to you to a new release first?

I like an assortment of colors and solid ranges, e.g. if they’re going to do blush, I love seeing several shades at once. I also love a good theme that’s done well!

Do you prefer new brands to launch select products or a full line?

Do you prefer new brands to launch select products or a full line?
