What order do you apply your makeup in? What do you do first? Last? Why?
Eyes, foundation, cheeks, setting powder, lips. I do eyes first, so I can blend out any fall out/harsh edges once I apply my foundation. I do cheeks on top of foundation so that the blush has something to adhere to. I do...
Does any lipstick/lipgloss last through a meal? Have you found any that do?
I've found that most really dark/deep lipsticks (reds, wines, etc.) will last through most meals intact for the most part. I've had the best luck with Chanel, Cle de Peau, and Guerlain lipsticks. Glosses that are really...
If you could design your own nail polish, what color would it be? What kind of finish?
I think I'd probably make it a medium-dark fuchsia-pink with black and gold micro-glitter. It'd be sexy and shimmery and smart!

All, because I have no ability to stop at "OMG THIS IS THE BEST!" as I fear there is another best that I just haven't tried yet!

I use three 10-drawer rolling carts for the majority of my storage, but I also use the few drawers I have in my bathroom, too - plus the entire countertop, of course!

Do you take breaks from makeup? Do you always wear a lil' somethin' somethin' or do you h ave totally makeup-free days/weeks?
Sometimes I'll take deliberate breaks from makeup, but it's not exactly easy to do when you run a bauty blog ;) There are definitely days where I don't wear makeup, so I do...
How do you feel about shimmer? Are you shimmer-free? Love every kind of shimmer?
I really like micro-shimmer. I love the way it looks on the skin, lips, and eyes. I don't like chunky/gritty shimmer that might as well be glitter in face or eye products, but lip products can have their time and...
