I pay more and more attention to the likelihood that I will have 1) time to review and 2) that there’s good reason to review it! I’m trying really hard not to over-buy.
I want something that helps to lock my foundation in place for a little longer than it would last on its own but isn’t so powdery that it either lightens (or darkens) my base nor makes it look so matte and cakey. It should be very translucent/sheer with a very finely-milled texture.
I like medium, buildable coverage; I’d like to be able to sheer it out a little if preferred or easily build it up to full coverage without it getting too heavy or cakey. I probably could get away with light to medium coverage, though, but I just find medium to be faster to apply to my liking...
Yes, absolutely! I wouldn’t slather them all over my face 24/7, but sometimes, it’s just about pretty colors and putting them together and less how it looks on me specifically.
I’m more maximalist than minimalist, but I’d like to think I’m somewhere in the middle on a spectrum between the two, though I’d lean more maximalist. I definitely don’t have nor do I aspire to have the least possible. I really, really like variety in terms of color, finish, texture,...

I would start by repurchasing my very favorite, holy grail products starting from the basics and anything I’d wear more than a couple of times a week. This would include foundations (probably two formulas, as I tend to prefer fuller coverage but also like something a little lighter but more than...
I’m going to pretend I’m not a blogger or else this answer will be super boring and blah, but I’m going to assume I have as much stuff as I do. I would. I would painstakingly go through a lot of what I have and “start over” more by actually taking stock of what I have, what I really...
I like pumps over jars for most things, but I don’t mind making sure my hands are clean or using a spatula with a jar, so it’s not a deal-breaker for me, though I know it is for many others. I get annoyed at any packaging that is impossible to open to get the last bits out, particularly...
