Are you concerned about any particular ingredients? Why?

Have you ever tried the oil cleansing method? Why/why not? Did it work?
I did briefly for several weeks a few years ago. It didn't do anything spectacular, though it didn't make anything worse. Â I'll still grab olive oil out of someone's kitchen if I need to remove my makeup and they don't have any...
How do you deal with beauty products that stain? Does it bother you?

How much effort are you willing to put into making a product work for you? Share!
I'll try a product a few times/different ways to see if it was just that particular application method (like the first one) that wasn't working. If it doesn't work after a few attempts, though, I typically move onto...
Have you thrown away a beauty product because it was so awful? If so, what was it?
You know, I actually still have a lot of the products I've given Fs to. Â I know I've chucked some random, really mediocre (and old!) drugstore products over the years, along with expired/spoiled high-end products...

What products do you consider worth splurging on? Share!
