Then, I try to figure out if something is limited edition or permanent, as I tend to prioritize limited edition products first in my budget. I try to read reviews on a lot of products I purchase in general, but for beauty, I try not to read a lot of in-depth reviews until after I’ve tested it myself (plus, they often don’t exist since I buy a lot of just-released products).
