Have you ever used contact lenses as part of your makeup look? Share!
I've definitely seen a lot of people use them, particularly for various Halloween tutorials, but I've never used them for makeup before. I only recently got contact lenses for bed time, and frankly, I have little talent for putting...
Do you adjust your foundation for seasonal changes? Do you have to get a different shade or mix two shades? Change formulas?
I usually mix two shades year-round, but it might be more of one and less of the other depending on how much I got outdoors--admittedly, I'm mostly inside!

What's in your travel makeup bag? Share!
I always empty it out after I return from wherever, and then fill it up based on where I'm going (and what I'll be doing!). My husband and I took a little three-day trip down to Disneyland a couple of months ago, and I put together a 15-pan palette of Make Up...
More price stability/less pushing prices up beyond "normal" price increases due to rising cost of goods--this year has seen a lot of brands price products outside of their normal pricing range (e.g. MAC with high-end, not mid-end pricing). I'd love to see brands tweak trends, rather than just...

I recycle just about everything that I can, otherwise I pass on to friends and family. I have maybe 10-20 velvet pouches from each brand that has them, but I never use them,...

The amount of high-end and luxury goods introduced into the market that have seemed to resonate with customers--most notably NARS Audacious Lipsticks really come to mind, but also Louboutin's polish, Gucci's pricing structure, Estee...
Have you purchased a product after using a sample and found it to be different? Share!
I can't recall doing so! I have had products in palettes that perform differently than the individual/permanent version many times, though.

What's your current routine for your eyebrows? Do you fill them in? Brush and go? Gel/wax? Share!
I fill mine in using an angled brush and powder eyeshadow, then I use a spoolie brush to comb through to soften and get everything into place. I keep brow hairs in place using a gel.
