I had breakfast yesterday with a bunch of beauty writers and Kourtney Kardashian, completing my Kardashian trifecta of interviews. And not only did she have some gorgeous stuff to show us from the Kardashian Beauty line for holiday (my favorite was the See You in Sequins Shimmer Lip Gloss and Nail Polish Sets and the Week of Kisses Mini Gloss Set--watch for them at Ulta and CVS stores), but she shared some fun little beauty tidbits as well. Read on for the highlights!

On her everyday makeup routine:
"Everyday...well, if I'm doing it myself I have my five-minute makeup routine, which is I do tinted moisturizer, and then I do a quick concealer and I use our bronzer every day. And then I have to curl my lashes, and then I do our Quickie mascara and that's it. And then I use Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream for my lips and I'm done. I have to spray my face when I'm done with a rosewater spray. I don't know why--it's just, like, a habit. And I think that's it. If I have to go out or something I usually do a lip just to look a little more done if I'm doing it myself."

On the trend she's feeling over right now:
"I'm kind of over a bright lip [everyone laughs]. I was watching one of our episodes randomly last in the hotel and I had a bright lip on in the whole episode and I was like, I'm not wearing a bright lip for at least two years but we'll see if it happens. It's so easy for me and I just feel like you look more done and then you don't really have to do your eyes. But I think I'm going to start doing eyes and stop with the lip for a while."

On the makeup trick she picked up on-set she can't live without:

"I would say contouring and highlighting. I never really knew that existed until getting my makeup done. And now I have to contour my nose and cheekbones every day or I won't leave the house."

On the one product she hoards:
"There's this stuff called Boob Tube. You put it on from your neck down to here (put hand at her boob-level) and it has all good ingredients and I'm kind of obsessed with it because I'm starting to feel the aging signs recently. So that's my new thing, to slather it. And I will do it down to my toes. It's like a lotion, and it says it firms and tightens a little and they say put it from here (points to her neck) down, but I'll take it all the way down because I'm like if it's doing something here, it's got to be good for my legs and everything else."

On the beauty products she and Scott share:
"He has been caught stealing some of my tinted moisturizer and concealer and foundation in the past. But what do I steal from him? His hair products, his hairspray, like especially here, we're out of town so whenever we're out of town, he will never leave without hair products."

On doing her own hair:
"I am the worst at doing my hair. I have no clue how to do it; I just feel like I need to go to hair beauty school or something because it's really becoming a problem. [On bad hair days] I do a ponytail. I had an event in the Dominican Republic and I didn't bring a glam team, so I did a slicked-up bun because that's just easy. But when I do my hair down it just does not look good. It's just stringy and it's like a hot mess."

The one makeup move she's really mastered:
"I'm pretty good at doing liquid liner myself. I feel like my mom taught me that when I was younger. Like in eighth grade we started wearing liquid liner so I've kind of mastered that. I think it's about the applicator. That's why I love the Deeply Felt that we have because it's like that pencil where you're drawing it on--you know that shape? I think it's all about the applicator."

Oh how she plans on dealing with makeup when it comes to her daughter Penelope:
"I don't know--she definitely watches me get ready and I think it's such...I was just watching this video of Kendall when she was three and she was putting on all this makeup and I was like I don't know how I feel about that so I think it's just...but then you want them...like, she sees me doing it. So I don't know, it's a fine line. When do you let them? I remember in seventh grade we used to wear lipstick to school and the teachers would get so angry and they'd steal our lipstick if we had them. But was our thing, that was our one thing because we had uniforms so that was our one daring expression of ourselves, so...I don't know."

On her most embarrassing beauty moment:
The other night I went out and I had my makeup done and they lined the outside of my entire mouth with shiny red lipstick, and I don't know why I didn't look in the mirror. I was with my entire family, so many of my friends--not one person cared to tell me. And then when I got home and looked in the mirror I was like You've got to be kidding. I took a picture and showed everyone the next day. How dare you none of you tell me? It was so shiny. The color was cool, it was just, my lips were not meant to be twice the size--it was a quarter of an inch outside of my mouth! That was definitely my worst beauty look recently.

On going blond with Kim:
"I was going that direction and then everybody made me dye my hair dark and everybody went blond! So I don't know, I emailed them all last night and said I need to make all this [points to the ends of her hair] really dark. It's getting too light, so I just think I want it dark again."

Oh, and the famous health-food-lover also spilled that the Kardashian Beauty line actually has more ingredients on their "do not use" list than Whole Foods. Kind of impressive, right?
