If I don’t like it or find it frustrating to use, I don’t bother at all. There are too many great products in my stash to deal with products that perform poorly! Otherwise, if it smells different, looks off, etc. then I’ll toss.
I don’t keep a written down wish list; I have a running list in my brain of what products are releasing and an idea of which ones I’ll be purchasing in advance.
To a degree, yes, since I have a digital record of everything I review and so I do periodic inventory to have a general idea of the total value.
I tend to ignore all fanciful claims, and I’ve see so much that at this point it’s very hard to convince me that what you’re offering is really new and exciting… sometimes, I get more excited about value sets or mini sets. I do enjoy new formulas from brands that have been hitting it out of...
I like seeing a good mix of promotional images, live models/applications, swatches, and a good color story or theme (names and the like). I want to see the product performing well and see shades/finishes that aren’t overdone.
I recently revisited some Natasha Denona palettes, which I enjoyed reusing! I also recently added back in Hourglass’ Diffused Light.
I don’t think so! I could see myself repurchasing Tom Ford’s Nude Dip someday, but I don’t even see dips (ha, ha) in it yet.
Not really! I would say that what products/shades I use varies seasonally based on what brands release and what trends take hold but not so much because I’ve made a choice to embrace certain products/shades/themes personally.
I like them! I think that it takes a long time to finish most products, so being able to try more shades at a lower cost makes more sense to me, but I think this approach makes sense to someone who has a decent collection of products. If you’re more someone who wears one lipstick every day, then...
They’re easiest as lid colors or as eyeliner/layering shades over eyeliner. I also like taking more glittery formulas (with less base color) and patting on top of the center of the lid or using as an inner tearduct highlighter.
