What was the last brand that disappointed you?

What was the last brand that disappointed you?

Kat Von D’s Serpentina palette; the way the release was handled was frustrating, and I don’t know why it was released in such small batches, which made it seem like it was selling out in minutes when now it seems like there is plenty of stock to go around. Then, to make matters worse, the...

What was the last brand that impressed you?

Anastasia Beverly Hills, because they actually released a really high-quality, somewhat unique palette (Modern Renaissance) and made it permanent – but they also made plenty of stock to keep it on the shelves even during the initial release.

Should brands make popular limited edition products permanent? Why or why not?

Should brands make popular limited edition products permanent? Why or why not?

I think they should do an internal review and assess whether the popularity has longevity, and whether the product fills a void in their current line-up. I think more brands should be flexible and make limited edition products permanent, but I feel like we don’t see that as often as you’d...

What beauty brand and collaborator would you love to see work together?

What are some of your favorite collections from the past?

I loved MAC Neo Sci-Fi, which is quite old now! The packaging was fun, and the products were killer. I remember a few years after it launched, I regretted not buying more pieces from it.

Do you have any special prep or routine for your skin prior to a big event or special occasion?

If I’m lucky, I will try to drink more water in the days before and go to bed earlier! Otherwise, I just stick with my normal routine and avoid adding anything new into the mix!
