It’s important in products that are harder to re-do on the fly, like re-applying a gloss is pretty easy, but having to reapply blush or eyeshadow? No way! I want my eyeshadow/mascara/brow products and base/complexion/face products to last well for eight to nine hours and fade “nicely” from...
Pat McGrath’s MTHRSHP Palettes — super smart and still great quality. ColourPop’s This is Not a Dream (holiday ’18) collection was lovely; really fun, less traditionally holiday (but sparkly and duochromatic), and had some of my favorite products of the year in it. I have always enjoyed...
Just to reiterate, since I spend most of my time using products I’m testing, I think I’m critical most of the time (as I am looking for pros/cons!)… but not all “flaws” are ones I care about (personally!). I think I have a lower bar for what I want in a gloss – like it can’t be drying...

Natasha Denona’s Sunrise palette (I’m writing this on May 29th, so I haven’t tried it yet but likely will have tried it by this date…) — I find I go back to ND’s formula quite a bit, and I really enjoyed the Sunset palette previously so I’m super curious about its companion.
I love exfoliating (so soft afterward!) and moisturizing (my last step usually), but the whole routine, sometimes I enjoy it but most of the time it is just part of the “this needs to be done” family.
