What convinces you to try a new beauty brand?

What convinces you to try a new beauty brand?

It’s usually after I see readers mention them on the blog through surveys, QOTDs, etc. Then, if they have interesting products or fit a need (e.g. accessible, affordable, etc.), I might try them out.

Do you have a go-to look for running errands?

Do you have a go-to look for running errands?

In the summer, bare-faced if I can because 110+ degree temperatures mean I’m sweating my face off just going to and from the car, LOL. For the rest of the year, I don’t have a go-to look and will just wear what I’m testing!

What is the most you'll pay for a foundation?

What is the most you'll pay for a foundation?

I will keep paying for La Mer’s The Soft Fluid, which is apparently $140 now (choke, gag, jaw on the floor), because the formula is really exceptional and I can afford to do so presently.

What is the most you'll pay for a blush?

What is the most you'll pay for a blush?

I know I’ve bought some Cle de Peau cheek products in the past, so those were probably nearly $90 or more… I’m not particularly comfortable at that price point, though! I feel like ~$50 is a personal maximum unless it’s really special/the perfect shade and formula kind of thing.

What is the most you'll pay for an eyeshadow palette?

What is the most you'll pay for an eyeshadow palette?

Pat McGrath’s Motherships at $128 a pop are the more expensive palettes I routinely purchase/would continue to purchase without batting an eye, but I don’t think I’d be willing to shell out that much for just any brand. I think $60 or less is a good top end overall.
