The only types of products I don’t keep on hand much are things like false eyelashes (though I still have several dozen), hair tools, and hair sprays/dyes/mousses.
There’s not much I don’t have plenty of! I’m sure I have enough lipstick, lipgloss, and eyeshadow palettes to get me through a few apocalypses, though.
Natasha Denona Duo Glows! I overlooked them when the line came out / when they initially launched, but they were both amazing!
Need? No, not really. Want? Maybe? For me, the idea of making powder products sit better on skin by infusing with “skincare benefits” makes sense–give me a highlighter that beams me to Mars but makes me look poreless. The biggest thing for me is that whatever is in my makeup is likely to be...
I’m really not a fan of the word “natural” to describe most products, beauty or otherwise, since it’s really a fluffy term these days. For me, it should mean more ethically and sustainably sourced ingredients, packaging that’s easier on the environment, ethical labor, particular attention...
I haven’t “moved on” in the sense that I’ve stopped purchasing products or paying attention entirely, but these are brands that I’m *personally* lukewarm about presently but would LOVE for them to turn it around and change my mind: Guerlain, Too Faced, Tom Ford (yes! many faves but less...
Pat McGrath, Viseart, Hourglass; these are brands that seem to knock it out of the park more often than not.
Bobbi Brown eyeshadows (I think the brand is reliable on lip/cheek products, though), Too Faced (generally, so hit or miss!), Stila (some good, core products but new formulas are a rollercoaster ride).
Guerlain! They were always a favorite but for the last few years, I’ve been less and less interested in their offerings (which have felt erratic in timing and often feel like a rehash of past offerings). They’ve discontinued a lot of products without replacing with new formulas, too.
Sydney Grace! First, I’m a fiend for eyeshadow, so their massive range was beyond tempting. Have you seen the number of GREENS in their range? All over it. I was so pleased that so much of what I’ve tried to date has been quite lovely!
