Have you ever purchased a brand's "vault" or mega-set?

Have you ever purchased a brand's "vault" or mega-set?

Oh, definitely, at least a few times! For me, it’s more about buying all the shades in an efficient manner — less time to add all the shades to my cart, and the price-per-item is usually cheaper.

How do you feel about eyeshadows sold only as pans (no compact)?

How do you feel about eyeshadows sold only as pans (no compact)?

I prefer them over compacts, since they take up less space and are usually less expensive! I’m definitely the type of person who would rather pay less and get less packaging as a result (as long as it remained functional).

What's your current, go-to eyeshadow look?

What's your current, go-to eyeshadow look?

Can’t say that I have established any go-to in a really, really long time! I used to reach for some of the same products for special occasions but feel like I test even more products now than I did just a few years ago that I sometimes test new products then anyway or I’ll use something for a...

Do you like layering your lip products?

Do you like layering your lip products?

Yes! I love seeing how a gloss transforms a lipstick. I don’t get a chance to do much layering since I”m almost always testing a new shade on its own, so it’s always fun when I do get to try a combo!

What was the last product that let you down?

What was the last product that let you down?

ColourPop’s Super Star Loose Pigments; I don’t mind the concept, but I don’t think they should be marketed to be used dry at all… I think they must be used wet to really work well, and in a way, their Super Shock Shadows and Pressed Powder Shadows are just so much easier to use that the...

How do you coordinate your makeup with clothes and/or accessories?

How do you coordinate your makeup with clothes and/or accessories?

I live in loungewear since I work from home and cuddle with a dog that sheds 24/7, so I don’t coordinate much with my clothes on a day-to-day basis. If I do leave the house, I try to complement my makeup in a subtle way (e.g. if I’m wearing teal eye makeup, then a cool-toned shirt, possibly...

What type of products are you unlikely to try more than twice to make work?

What type of products are you unlikely to try more than twice to make work?

Anything exceptionally bad in a color product (chalky, poor pigmentation, etc.) as I’m not personally going to bother with a product that requires a lot of extra work to make work since I’m fortunate enough to own plenty of high-quality products already. I have no desire to keep wearing any lip...
