I think it’ll be about the same, possibly a little down. I used to feel compelled to do a lot of reviewing of mini sets and kits featuring permanent shades, but in the last two years, the interest seems lower or else people feel good about purchasing regardless – I think that’s a testament to...
Buffy the Vampire Slayer x Pat McGrath. Love Island x ColourPop. Agnes Cecile x Natasha Denona.

In the first years after getting into makeup, yeah, I had some, especially anything I really loved or was loved by others (but I didn’t LOVE) so I worried I might “learn to love it” later. These days, no, not at all!
Tom Ford Nude Dip (replaced with Natasha Denona Biba), MAC Plushlash Mascara (now I have no loyalty to a mascara), and MAC Espresso Eyeshadow (used to fill in my brows with it).
