A ton of light shades, particularly if they are all variations of beige! I don’t like anything really bulky in size, because they take up a ton of room to store. The palette’s colors should coordinate, and I should see a few immediate, “Oooh, I want to try that combo” ideas.
Yes, definitely! I don’t do it as much now, since I get my fill of products just for reviewing purposes, so I tend to do the same thing but with non-beauty products.
Jack Black Lip Balm! It’s somewhere in the house, I’m sure, and thankfully I have half a dozen on hand!
1.) If you have favorite retailers/brands, sign-up for their emails, because most have reward programs, loyalty promotions, and so forth. 2.) Try to consolidate shopping to a few retailers that have the best/right reward system for you. 3.) Look for seasonal sales like Sephora’s big VIB/VIB Rouge...
I ask myself if I had the need before I saw the product in question! Did I need a new moisturizer or did I just see one because someone mentioned it?
I usually table the want and put it on the backburner, revisit in a week or two, and see if I still want it. I think about why I want it, whether I need it or whether it fulfills a specific need that I have at that time.
I have two… patience really is a virtue — it’s in the details, and taking the time to be precise (or even planning ahead in general) is key to a really inspiring, cohesive look. The second is don’t be afraid of having fun, getting, creative, and making a few mistakes along the way.
I’ll just be testing something but won’t be doing any costume/look for Halloween!
I don’t know that I have a real go-to, but if I did, it would be Tom Ford Escapade with Pink Haze Cream Color for Eyes – I have used those together at least half a dozen times before.
