Have you ever bought a beauty product just because of the packaging? Was it worth it?
I remember I bought MAC's Stylistic perfume because the bottle looked pretty cool, though I don't like the scent much myself, and honestly, it's a pain to store. Since it doesn't stand up, it just sits in a drawer.
Thanks...
Did you make any beauty resolutions for the year? How is it going so far?
No New Year's resolutions for me! Â My ongoing goals (from before the calendar switched to 2012) were to eat better, have a better work/life balance, and be neater. Â I managed not to spend NYE working on the blog, so I think...
Are there products you don't use because of the way it is packaged? Which ones?
Oh, yes, definitely! One of the products I distinctly remember is Benefit's Stay Don't Stray--the product is great, the packaging is awful.

Have you ever had such a bad experience with a brand that you stopped using it? Share!
Yes - when a brand reacts poorly to a negative (or a not-so-positive) review, then they're off my list. e.l.f. is a brand I don't use, feature, etc. because they used one of my eyeshadow looks in their newsletter...
What was the first beauty brand you used? Share!
I believe the first products I bought were Benefit (followed by MAC; I think they were nearly on the first day), but if it was just used, then MAC, since that's what my best friend used at the time!

Do you collect makeup? Do you use pieces you collect?
I would not call myself a collector, as I intend to use makeup and am not trying to save it or preserve it. I don't regularly pull out pieces to admire or look at them in any way. There are times where I want to own all of a certain formula, if...
Do beauty blogs help you save money or splurge more often? Do you buy more? Or do you shop smarter?
I buy way, way more as a result of being a beauty blogger! I think it ends up being a wash, because beauty blogs show you so many things that look amazing, so while I'd expect I would get better...
What made you fall in love with beauty/makeup? Share your stories!
For me, it was MAC pigments shortly after I started my freshman year at college. I was a late bloomer for makeup, but I fell hard and fast--and it's been a rather expensive love affair ever since!

What's your favorite lip combo of the moment? What are you loving?
I am LOVING Giorgio Armani #602 Gloss d'Armani with Hourglass Imagine Extreme Sheen! It's such a pearly, pretty plum.

How long does it take for you to use up a product? Lipstick, gloss, eyeshadow, blush?
It takes me a year or longer to finish my go-to eyeshadow for filling in my brows! I've never finished a blush before, though MAC Margin has the most pan showing, and that was one of the only blushes I owned for...
