1. Do you remember your first makeup item?
I can't say that I do, but I think it was was probably an Estee Lauder powder that my mom would get as a gift with purchase.
2. Describe your perfect mascara. Have you found one that fits your specifications?
I need a good volumizing mascara that doesn't give much length, my eyelashes are already very long. As far as waterproof goes I usually use my Covergirl Last Blast Volume on a very regular basis. As for non-waterproof I have a lot of them such as Urban Decay's Big Fatty and Super Curl, Estee Lauder Projectionist, and Benefit Bad Gal.
3. What kind of coverage do you prefer from foundation? Sheer, Light, Medium, or Full
I don't need very much coverage, but I like to have to option of full, and for that I use the Revlon Colorstay Whipped Foundation. And if I don't feel like using that, I'll go for a lighter coverage tinted moisturizer and I use the Laura Mercier one.
4. What foreign cosmetic brand have you always wanted to try?
MUA and Sleek!
5. Favorite high end brand?
Urban Decay without a doubt.

I am not really familiar with any indie products.
8. Is there any kind of makeup you can’t leave the house without?
No, I can go out with no makeup and be fine, but the two basics I would like are mascara and concealer.

Probably my palettes.
10. Do you have separate day and night skincare routines?
I don't really do anything to my face at night besides moisturizing
11. How often do you shop for makeup? Do you like to pick up an item here or there or get lots of goodies at once?
I don't usually go out of my way to get a certain makeup item, but I'll order stuff online or when I need something from the grocery store I'll swing by the makeup. I love getting lots of things but I'll appreciate just one at a time more.
12. Do you have a “beauty budget” or do you spend freely?
I was spending freely but now I'm doing a 10+ week thing where I'm not buying any for myself.
13. Do you utilize coupons, rewards cards and sales when you shop for cosmetics?
I definitely utilize sales and rewards when I'm shopping, I rarely spend full price on anything.

Eyeshadow for sure. I love making different looks, it's just my favorite all around product.
15. Is there a brand that you absolutely can’t stand?
I can't say that there is one in particular, but I think some brands are falsely hyped up.

Most things I buy, I believe they don't have any harmful ingredients, but I don't go out of my way to avoid them.
17. Do you have a favorite place to shop for makeup? Why is it your favorite?
I would probably say Nordstrom Rack or Sephora. Nordstrom Rack seriously has the best sales on high end brands that the companies don't even have! And Sephora has a great variety in their products and I love all the rewards and free samples that you get.
18. Do you like trying new skincare products or do you keep a certain routine?
I try not to mess with my skin too much, but if i find something is definitely not working it will be changed out of my routine.
19. Favorite bath and body brand?
I really like Bath and Body Works, except their shower gels, which I believe are breaking me out.
20. If you could only buy from one brand, which brand would you choose?
Probably Urban Decay, I love their eyeshadow, eye primer, face primer, foundation, setting sprays, etc.
21. What brand do you think has the best packaging?
I think Nars has really nice packaging and it isn't too bulky like most brands.
22. What brand do you think has the worst packaging?
I can say that I'm not that fond of Hard Candy's packaging, it seems large, it isn't my style, and it feels like it will break quickly.
23. Do you belong to any online makeup communities?
Nope!
