Do people tell you that you look better without makeup? Do you believe them?

Is high-end nail polish ever worth it? Is there a difference in quality?

How do you feel about mascara ads?

How do you feel about mascara ads? Do you ever believe them?

Of all the kind of Photoshopping and the like that we find in advertising, mascara ads drive me insane! It's one thing to smooth out the skin, but it's quite enough to make it look like the mascara gives you ten-mile high lashes when it's...

What's the most adventurous beauty product you own? What made you buy it? How often do you use it?

Definitely has to be some of the "crazy" lip colors I have - like blue, green, teal, etc. I LOVE them, and they're just fun - I think they inspire and bring out your creativity. I don't have much...

Have you ever seen a dermatologist? What was the experience like? Worth it?

I saw one once for acne, and it was a horrible experience. But later on, I talked with my primary care physician, and they prescribed me Differin, and that cleared up the majority of my acne. So, my one experience was...
