What high-end product do you feel you should have skipped instead of buying? Why?

MAC Brush Sets - just not the same quality as full-sized brushes.  For me, this was a hard question, because a lot of the products I've come across in the past couple of years that have been really skip-worthy weren't...

Do you clean/sanitize your makeup? Why/why not? If so, how often?

I try to go through all my products every 4-6 months and do some cleaning--wiping down powder surfaces, dipping lipsticks into rubbing alcohol to sanitize, and tossing out anything that has changed color/scent/consistency.  I use...

I don't really pay much attention (or perhaps, I don't put much weight on) seasonal trends beyond say lighter colors in spring, vibrant shades in summer, vampy shades in fall, reds for the holidays... but I don't subscribe...

Do you ever worry about what ingredients your makeup products contain? Why/why not?

There are a few ingredients I watch for, but they tend to be in skincare or blushes.  I wish I had the mental capacity to keep track of more ingredients, but it's overwhelming!

Do you prefer wearing high-end makeup? Why/why not?

With makeup, it's an escape - it's pretty, fun, and drama-free (well, it's supposed to be!), so I like a product that impresses me on all fronts.  With more affordable brands, sometimes packaging or textures are a little less refined.  At the end...
