Do you separate out your daily or go-to items from the rest of your stash? How does a product get into that coveted spot?
Yes, definitely! I keep a lot of base products I use regularly (foundations, powders, concealers, etc.) in my bathroom (everything else is now stored in storage containers in...
Have you had makeup destroyed by pets/family? (Presumably on accident!) Share your disaster stories!
Nope -- Mellan totally knows and respects makeup, even if it gets left on the floor or on the coffee table (aka within nose reach). He's eaten a drumstick (from Rock Band) and a wooden camel...
Are there any brands you're just not interested in trying? No matter the buzz, hype, or rave reviews?
I'm drawing a blank!
Thanks to Joyce for today's question! Got a question idea? Submit yours here.
What brands have you liked in the past that you no longer use now? Any particular reason you no longer use that brand?
Before blogging, I really only used MAC, which I still use! Over time, it just seems like I use more and more brands so I might use each brand less than I originally did but not...

Does a brand's gift with purchase offer push you to purchase? Do you end up buying more than you planned just to get the GWP?
No, but I've never been a big fan of GWPs. I love the idea and concept, but instead, I never use anything in them (except the bags) and end up with scattered minis all around...
Have you discovered a brand you wouldn't have tried had you not seen swatches? Share!
Rescue Beauty Lounge, Becca, Cle de Peau, Nubar -- usually, pricier products I'm less willing to purchase sight unseen, but if there are good photos/swatches, it can boost confidence enough to push me to try.

Has anyone told you that you were wearing too much makeup? How did you handle it?
I haven't had anyone in real life say that to me, and if they did, I might later check my foundation to see if something went awry. I'd probably just say, "thanks for letting me know," and get far, far away from that...
Do you think drugstore brands can really compete with high-end brands? Why/why not?
In certain ways, yes. I would say a mid-end brand is better positioned to really compete, because when you reduce price, you have to reduce costs somewhere else. You might not get the fancy packaging of high-end...
Have you ever had a friend, family member, or significant other hate your beauty habits? Maybe red lipstick? Certain nail colors? How have you dealt with it?
I'm very lucky that nobody has forbid me to wear it, but certainly there are looks that are more or less appealing. For instance, I know my dad...
