I love these kind of videos. Tons of products back to back, Don't mess about, straight to the point, not overly negative, just factual. Gorgeous natural girl. Lovely hair. Love from the UK

The effort you put into these huge videos is insane wow

Photographer here: colour accurate online is difficult. As a photographer, I can do everything right: match the light temp, grey card, white balance, use a monitor that is correctly calibrated etc. But whether the viewer sees the same thing is up to whether *their* screen is calibrated correctly, which I don't expect people to invest a couple hundred for a Spyder tool to do so. Additionally, colour is generally much more saturated on mobile screens than a computer monitor. It's a struggle!

Even though niacinamide is being added to lots of things these days, the Ordinary Niacinamide Face and Body Emulsion has been making a literal overnight difference in my post acne hyperpigmentation. It has so quickly been evening my complexion and making my skin glowier than anything I’ve tried in a long time.
I understand where you’re coming from that it seems unnecessary, but personally I love it, and it will probably be a staple I keep repurchasing.

The new ELF foundation is beautiful. And the shade range is amazing. It’s long wearing and outshines most of my high end foundations for a fraction of the cost. There’s a reason it’s gone viral. The ELF bronzing drops are just as beautiful especially when mixed in with foundation.

[beccatrigger]

its crazy how much more expensive cerave has become !!

[consciouslypure]

These are my favourite kind of videos from you! I only buy drugstore so huuugely appreciate you reviewing new launches 😍 and really enjoy those longer videos, they are so relaxing at the same time as being super informative to figure out what’s worth the money. Also LOVE how critical you are! I cannot stand when other channels hype up EVERY product 😂 Thank you!! ❤

[ginasemenza]

The ELF spf gloss is my absolute favorite. I love the pigment and texture. Incredibly flattering on all ages.

[BronwynSmith-yglu]

I loooove this video sm. So helpful and non-gatekeepy because you're the first person to share (honest) opinions on some of these products. Thank u sm

[AksaraA-hy]

I love ur content sm. Out of all of conditioners/hair masks (if u could only choose 1)which is ur fav (what makes ur hair feel the best)Thysm!!!!💗

[ChristinePacinda]

YES! The Naturium lip products are SO hard to squeeze! I've got arthritis in my hands and on 'bad' days I don't even bother with these lip products even though I love the formula. Lip balm shouldn't hurt.

[delaneyanthony]

I like the Trader Joe’s vanilla Laneige dupe!! And it’s like $8 or something

[armstronglien]

Always looking forward to your video ❤
I do like the Elf foundation. It does look satiny on my 55 years old skin. Great medium between mat and glowy.

[monikawatkins]

I absolutely love those kind of videos !!!! You are saving me money ❤ I had some of them in my carts, but after your absolutely amazing and thorough reviews, I’m taking them out. You have no idea, how much I appreciate your work, research and tryouts !!! 💕 Thank you so much and more, please 😁Just awesome !!!

[Amy]

I love how yellow the elf foundation is 😅 i always struggle to find something yellow enough! I love the way it wears too!

[laneyh]

I finally got my perfect foundation shade match with the ELF soft glam (shade 25). I’ve been using makeup for nearly 40 years, have tried high end, drug store, luxury, etc and always had to modify foundation with color correctors or mixing shades, to match my light/medium/peachy skin. You have no idea what a relief it is to just be able to use a foundation out of the bottle.

[CaylinOwen]

I love these types of videos I honestly kind of use it as ASMR😂 I love makeup and skincare and buy mostly drugstore since I’m on a budget, and the detail you go into with these videos is genuinely so helpful in figuring out if I would actually like the product or not and this reminds me so much of the conversations one of my bffs who I grew up neighbors with and roomed with in college. We were like each others surrogate sisters since we both had only brothers, and we would do makeovers trying out new products and do big skincare nights just catching up and relaxing. But we had different skin types, so we actually would get really into detail and try it out on each other, and since we had very similar skin tones, we would swap if the product worked better for the other. This kind of video brings me back to those nights that were some of the best in my life. The last few years have been rough and I’ve lost several close family members and friends before they should have gone, so I really appreciate being brought back to a time before all that right now. Remember to always prioritize your own health and safety, mentally and physically and thank you for a video that feels like a safe and comfortable conversation with a friend❤

The SPF was 100% the benefit of that gloss. I wear lipgloss to the pool in the summer and I loved that they came out with that option and ran to get it. Love the formula for SPF. Hope it’s a staple and that they come out with more (concealer please) any additional spf for the summer helps.

[lauralyndsey]

I’m so impressed and thank you for actually taking the time to learn how to pronounce the words. How refreshing. I appreciate the effort you put into your work. ❤

[tmray]

The Elf foundation surprised me at how much I like it and how long it lasts.
