What makeup are you wearing right now? (Or were you last wearing?)

What beauty brand inspires you the most?

What beauty brand inspires you the most?

I’m going to say Pat McGrath because every time I play with the brand’s eyeshadow palettes (and eyeshadow is my favorite part of makeup most of the time)… I just really have fun – I enjoy the process and end result so much.

ColourPop x Harry Potter, please and thank you. Or Mellan with any brand. I’m sure he’d do a fabulous job! ?

Do you notice a difference between high-end and budget brands?

Do you notice a difference between high-end and budget brands?

There are gems and misses from both, so it’s not something I’d make a blanket statement over. I think that high-end products tend to have finer, more consistent powder products (like eyeshadows), but I think the influx of smaller, competitive brands (like ColourPop) that aren’t your...

What was the first makeup launch that you were really excited for?

What was the first makeup launch that you were really excited for?

It’s been so long since the first launch, LOL! I know it was MAC for sure. The first MAC collection that really stands out in my mind was Madame B., but the one that I really recall LOVING was Moonbathe.

When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

When your favorite product gets discontinued, do you stock up or move on?

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?

What was the last holy grail, discontinued product you had to replace?
