How do you resist a sale?

How do you resist a sale?

My best advice is to really think critically about why you’re considering buying something, what it will add to your stash, and whether you already have something similar to it. Did you want it before it was on sale? Is the sale THAT good? Will it be around later on?

Do you scrape every last bit of a product out of its packaging to finish it?

Do you scrape every last bit of a product out of its packaging to finish it?

If it was exceptionally good, yes. If it was pretty good AND pretty pricey, yes. If I didn’t like it, and it’s mostly done, then I’m likely to recycle (if possible) and move on.

Do you have any beauty icons or inspirations?

Do you have any beauty icons or inspirations?

Not really! I didn’t grow up idolizing anyone’s look (I didn’t keep up with celebrities, and I wasn’t allowed to wear makeup, so I didn’t even have much interest/awareness of makeup until the last year or so in high school, and interest began in college), so I think that as an adult,...

When do you prefer a cream or liquid product over a powder one?

When do you prefer a cream or liquid product over a powder one?

For all-over glow, I love liquids mixed in with foundation for the most even coverage more so than dusting a powder highlighter all-over.

What are some great products in need of redesigned packaging?

What are some great products in need of redesigned packaging?

Hmm, I am having trouble recalling packaging mishaps with really good product inside. One thing that does come to mind is Urban Decay’s penchant for bulky packaging on their palettes (sometimes better these days), as they could always go slimmer! I’d also love for Guerlain Rouge Gs to be redone...

How do you handle aggressive salespeople?

How do you handle aggressive salespeople?

I try to strongly tell them I’m just browsing, and if they’re still pushy, then I might just leave if what I needed wasn’t urgent. I would then buy online or at another retailer!

How do you handle a work place or environment where little makeup is worn?

How do you handle a work place or environment where little makeup is worn?

If it was very frowned upon to the point where it would mean issues on a professional level (lower pay, lack of promotions, condescension), I would likely toe the line and keep things subtle. If it was simply that others around me wore less, I would wear what I wanted, subject to any general...

How do you feel when you finish a product?

How do you feel when you finish a product?

Pretty awesome since it’s soooo rare! Except with skincare, because that really requires a repurchase/purchase, so it also means money out the door, haha.

What celebrity best captures your personal beauty style look?

What celebrity best captures your personal beauty style look?

I can’t name anyone! I don’t follow celebrities much, and the only ones that get on my radar are more major ones and I wouldn’t say they reflect my look (though I don’t know if I have a singular look either!). I’ll enjoy reading your answers, though!
