How do you resist being tempted by beauty products? How do you prevent impulse buys? Or buying shades you know just don't work well for you?
I look at what I already have and know that the last thing I need is another XYZ lipstick or whatever! Alternately, I look at my to-be-reviewed product list and...
How much do you trust a magazine's product recommendations? Has your trust increased/decreased over the past five years?
Somewhat, sometimes, and it really just depends. It's not to say there are no honest recommendations, only that I think some are swayed by a particular slant or pressure from other...
Have you ever recommended a product to a friend that they didn't end up liking? Share your experiences!
I've definitely recommended products to both readers and friends that haven't worked out as well as I wanted them to! One of the hardest parts about making strong recommendations is that a lot of...

What are three things you do to feel your most beautiful? Share!
1. Reach for products that make my beauty lovin' heart go pitter-patter. That means favorites, special occasion-only products, and shades I know flatter me best. 2. Give myself enough time to get ready to the nines and not feel rushed;...
Do your friends understand your love for beauty? Or do they just pretend to?
I don't think anyone quite gets it. When I first started wearing makeup, my best friend (at the time) was way, way into makeup and had been for years prior, but I quickly surpassed her in quantity and obsession. Then she...
Have you ever found a kiss-proof lip color? If so, what is it? If not, what's the closest you've found?
Any long-wearing lip product that just clings and clings to lips--like MAC Pro Longwear Lipcolours and Make Up For Ever Aqua Rouge. I wouldn't say either will make it 100% intact after a heavy-duty...
Are there any gaps in your beauty stash? Example: are you such an eyeshadow fiend that you have hardly any glosses?
When I first fell in love with makeup, I was all about eyeshadow! It was eye makeup to the max and then nothing elsewhere. After that, then I really got into layering glosses over...
Do you feel guilty returning beauty products? Have you ever? How do you get over it?
I used to in the beginning, but I think I buy and keep enough products that I shouldn't feel guilty returning the occasional product--because if I return it, there's a good reason. Companies have return policies for a...
