I like someone who asks questions – like what my concerns are, maybe what kind of products I already use, whether I’ve had a facial before, do I want extractions, etc. I also like someone who seems to understand the skin and may offer knowledge as they apply a certain product or employ a...
Nothing at the moment; I went through a period of trying a lot of different lip balms, and then I went through a lot of primers (all with the intent of posting all the results someday!) in the last year.
None for me – even when I was young, I didn’t have celebrity crushes or celebrity role model. The most influence I could see happening is if a celebrity wore a shade and looked great in it, but it wasn’t necessarily an endorsement, just a look they wore – but I feel like this is true if I...
I think the type of skin I have, what my skin reacts to, those are things that influence more heavily than others – I tend to stay away from anything super, super matte but also anything over-the-top dewy (I’m normal-to-dry, mostly normal these days!). I have a decent amount of lid space but...
I love the return and prevalence of the bolder brow. I thought I had to have thinner brows when I was in my late teens/early twenties, and I think we have a lot more variety in brow shapes and styles these days that maybe I’ll be forever content with what I have now!
Ulta has the best rewards program that I’m aware of-points that convert to dollars off – with opportunities for 2x, 3x, and 5x points throughout the year. I like Nordstrom’s rewards, since you can spend on anything, not just beauty. For items that are not urgent and are higher-end, I try to...
Probably the SUQQU Cheek brush (I love the one I have but can’t justify buying a second one).
I will probably pick up a couple of shades of Cle de Peau’s new liquid lipstick next time there’s a gift card promo at Neiman Marcus.
I feel like the heart of the question is something that is (relatively) affordable, so I want to say BH Cosmetics’ Foil Eyes palette, which was extremely easy to work with and pretty much did what it said it would. Technically, BH has some products at Ulta now but not that one… Otherwise, NYX...
I try to go through my collection every 3-6 months and get rid of products that are unnecessary, but it can be longer. These days, I am doing more upfront, before things get put away, and also removing formulas that have been replaced (e.g. I removed Urban Decay’s Revolution lipsticks after I...
