Are miniature lip color sets useful?

Are miniature lip color sets useful?

As long as they aren’t TOO prone to breaking and fiddly to hold, I love them. For beauty enthusiasts like most of us here… it’s hard to finish full-sized products, so minis are a nice way to get diversity without spending tons of money!

Is there a product you swore you wouldn’t buy but ended up purchasing?

Is there a product you swore you wouldn’t buy but ended up purchasing?

Well, I don’t know if I’d say “swore,” as that’s a little heavy for my position, but I’m not much for backing up products any more (I’ll never get to them, I know that!). I love Bite’s Prismatic glosses, and I’ll often reach for one for photos (if I have a lot of cheek products to...

What’s your lip care routine like?

What’s your lip care routine like?

I exfoliate ahead of whenever I’m doing lip swatches, which ends up two to three times a week (if the sessions are back-to-back, then I don’t do it the second day). Sometimes I’ll just let my lips soften while taking a shower and gently rub any dead skin away with my fingertips, while other...

Does your weekend makeup differ from your weekday makeup? (How?)

Does your weekend makeup differ from your weekday makeup? (How?)

Nope, it doesn’t! Since what I wear is dependent on what I’m testing, it really is all over the map.

I actually played with ColourPop’s Cloudy Pressed Glitter patted on top of It’s Faux Lux Lipstick, and I loved how it looked (though the texture of it all took some getting used to).

What's your current favorite bold eye color combination?

The last time I used brighter/bolder colors and loved the combo, it was actually using the Norvina Mini Vol. 2 palette–pink/red, green, and teal with pops of yellow.

What are the top three things you look for in a beauty retailer?

What are the top three things you look for in a beauty retailer?

Product availability, faster shipping (for lower cost, I don’t mind an upcharge for 2-day shipping, but I don’t want to spend $20), and decent customer service. I don’t want to have to ship anything back before they’ll send out a new one (this assumes I’m an established customer, so they...

What retailer has the best rewards/loyalty program?

What retailer has the best rewards/loyalty program?

It’s definitely Ulta by far. I placed an order the other day, which had 5X points… plus an extra point as a credit card holder… and it was nearly the equivalent of 40% off my order. They make it hard for me to spend points because so often there is some event going on, LOL!

Do you keep track of what looks you’ve created or worn?

Do you keep track of what looks you’ve created or worn?

Yes, I do! I try to share it as a look on Temptalia shortly after doing it so I don’t have to write down what I used and where I used it, but for some smaller palettes, it’s easy enough to remember (since I used only shades from it). Otherwise, I’ll write it down on a notepad and have it on...
