Mid-teens, when my best friend put it on me (I totally wasn’t actually allowed to wear it!), and I loved it, but part of that might have been that it was forbidden at the time, haha.
I try to keep them in mind for products like mascara, liquid eyeliner, etc. and to a lesser extent, any cream or liquid-based products. For powders, I’m definitely not concerned about expiry dates. I typically consider smell, texture, consistency, etc. and if there have been any changes.
Natasha Denona Biba – it is a workhorse neutral palette for me, though I don’t REALLY think I’d get one since it’d take forever to finish, lol!
I’m still pretty obsessed with Sydney Grace The Mielke Way (that I was involved in). It’s one of the few one-and-done singles for me.
I haven’t faced that issue myself, since we very, very rarely left the house for more than a doctor’s appointment kind of thing. I do like Tower 28’s SOS Daily Rescue Facial Spray for breakouts, generally.
I’m less willing to make a so-so product work if I have access to better products. I like more medium coverage (as opposed to full coverage) and less matte (as opposed to fully matte) foundation.
Right now, maybe on a weekly basis. I feel like releases have slowed down that there are even full weeks where I don’t make a purchase at all!
It’s always good to have a budget, even if it’s a rougher idea, and then use that to curb excessive purchases. I have found forcing myself to wait a few days before buying helps to curb those immediate impulses – but I take the route of “you can get it if you REALLY want it, just wait 48...
I’ve been really slacking on my skincare routine (I’m REALLY lucky my skin hasn’t freaked out on me for it), so nothing lately — the slacking has been going on since January 2021!
