Have you ever been criticized for changing your makeup regularly? For not having an everyday look? Share!

If you could own any beauty brand, which would you want to own? Share!

This is a tough question, because nothing really jumps to mind!  I think of my favorite brands, but I don't know if I'd ever want to be responsible for them--and I don't know if I could do them credit.

Do you wear lipgloss on its own?

Do you wear lipgloss on its own? Do you prefer it as a layering product? Alone? Never?

It's taken me some time before I learned to appreciate gloss on its own, but I do like wearing it by itself at times. I'd say I prefer layering, just because there are so many possibilities when you do!
