What discontinued products have you loved and lost without being able to replace?

What discontinued products have you loved and lost without being able to replace?

Chanel Dragon Rouge Allure Laque — nothing really replicates the depth and then the way the shimmer came through the very rich base, plus the texture/wear. Guerlain Gems Rouge G was limited edition to begin with if I’m remembering correctly, and it’s an oddly warmer-toned take on a more common...

If you had to start your collection over, would you do anything differently?

If you had to start your collection over, would you do anything differently?

I would buy less shades in a formula I enjoyed; I wouldn’t have a “collect ’em all” mentality, just because the formula was exceptional — unless I actually liked and would wear all of those shades! I’d try to take more time and go to counters/stores to test foundations before buying...

Are there ever moments where you don’t enjoy your makeup collection?

Are there ever moments where you don’t enjoy your makeup collection?

What’s been your go-to base/foundation combination lately?

What’s been your go-to base/foundation combination lately?

La Mer The Soft Fluid mixed with Natasha Denona Face Glow — pretty much ultra-dewy and looks best in person (I find on camera, all that shine makes me look more textured everywhere vs. smooth like a more matte base!) and lasts a surprising amount of time.

What would your dream space be like for storing and/or applying your makeup?

I really enjoy what I have now, as it’s pretty vast and spacious, but in a dream world, I’d have more customized storage, probably more built ins with strategically placed areas for decor. I’d love a larger mirror with built-in lighting with a vanity that was slightly deeper with fully...
