“Products mentioned: Don’t bother” had me rolling! 😂😂 I’m always glad to know what to avoid as well as what products are good.

Please do this worst of luxury as a vlog every year. It is like a conversation with a bestie. You nailed it. I knew Chanel and Tom Ford would be on the list. They been effing up. Even the Chanel 2022 preview looks meh. I wonder if Chanel changed the blush formula due to ingredient shortage or just to save money by switching ingredients. That is usially what happens in the fragrance industry when a scent is reformulated. I can't even use some those new TF quads cause they are too light for me. I can't wait til you try the newest quads with the new formula. The Fenty Skin tint looks ok on me initially but it doesn’t wear well throughout the day.

Considering the price tag attached to high end make up, "just ok" is NOT ok. If I am going to shell out that kind of money I need it to WOW me. Thanks for the heads up!

[vadal]

Making this a quarterly feature would be a huge help! So many high-end beauty channels are afraid to give negative critique to poor products as they come out, so this is a refreshing view!

[judysmac]

This video is everything! My husband heard you call Hermes “basic” and he audibly sighed…then said, Hermes is devastated! He then later said, Michelle is savage and I’m here for it! 😂

I’m so frustrated with Chanel it started when they reformulated their cream bronzer which was perfection just needed more shades. They downgraded the ingredients and decided coconut oil was a good idea. I think they are using cheaper ingredients to get more profit and have really lost a lot of customers in the process. They certainly didn’t lower their prices to reflect the cheaper ingredients. Sending you oodles of love

I remember when you reviewed the “new” reformulated Chanel blushes months ago. I had one of the old ones (loved it) and immediately went out and bought 4 of the old ones. Before I purchased, I asked the saleswoman if they were the new version and she apologetically said no, the store hadn’t gotten them in yet. She looked quite surprised when I said “Good! I’ll take these 4.” Obviously she doesn’t watch reviews so I told her don’t be surprised if the reaction to the newer ones isn’t positive. Situations like this are one of the reasons I watch your channel. Aside from excellent suggestions for good products, you also give us a heads up about what to avoid. Happy Holidays!

Re:the Hermes blushes. You can’t refill them cause they glued them into the compact despite them having the pinhole. Whomp, whomp. I agree with you on the Gucci eye palette. Then they had the audacity to say it could be a jewelry case too. Please.

[odhrupg]

You are so right, Michelle! Lux brands are cutting corners right and left while keeping their lux prices. What a slap in the face. We should boycott them!

[momoco]

I agree about the Valentino packaging. I have yet to try any of their products because the “look” repels me. I have absolutely no interest to even approach their makeup counter lol

[callsgirl]

“What are you doing Chanel?” 👏🏽 couldn’t agree more! So disappointed in them this year. First the tan de Chanel reform, then messing with one of the best the blush formulas on the market 😩 I second what are you doing Chanel?!?! Thanks for the fun video Michele 🎄

[shoddypockets]

Video theme "Why??", "Just why??" .... Hilarious and totally agreed x

[charlesalwyn]

I am so glad you spoke about Chanel. Total garbage in 2021…and Tom Ford has been lackluster since winter of 2020…the Soliel Neige 2019 was the last collection that got me excited. I don’t understand what they are doing…but Dior is KILLING IT! ❤️❤️❤️

[marenzita]

High end companies should keep in mind that their customers aren’t blind..it cost so much money! It’s about respect too! Thanks for your outspoken reviews! Cheap packaging..gosh…so sad..

[dianes.]

Thank you for telling the truth about Fenty. There was so much hype in the online beauty community about it and I kept waiting for an "the Emperor has no clothes" moment, because it's really not that good. I bought it with high hopes that it would be better than their other face products but after wearing it 4 or 5 times, I quietly decluttered it because it's so dry and unflattering.

[ayaskovi]

Tom Ford eyeshadows got so bad I don’t see myself buying it ever again. Pat ran out of ideas. Gucci package was the reason I didn’t buy the eye shadows. Hermès blushes looked so sad I would buy those for $10 …Valentino … I want to be a fly on the wall at the meeting to see this packaging approved! What happened? Seriously ….

[amberr]

I totally agree. I purchase across the makeup spectrum- drug store to luxury. When I buy luxury it’s because it’s either (and hopefully a combination of) - innovative color story, a better (new) performing formula, or the packaging and purchasing experience. If I can’t get those things for the extra $ that luxury lines require forget it. Oh and the Valentino release, totally with you. I didn’t purchase anything from that launch because it just looked cheap to me and I can’t get past it.

[joarnoldmovement]

Totally agree with you regarding Chanel. What a disappointment. It used to be my go to brand but I haven’t been pleased with anything since the water fresh tint and that was a while ago now! I feel like a lot of luxury brands are just releasing below par products and they assume the consumer will purchase regardless because of the name. Well they need to wake up because the tide is turning!

[blankaratka]

I totally agree. Expensive fashion houses are starting to lag far behind cheap drugstore products. And they are a great disappointment to customers.

[carolbowles]

I agree with you, Michele, that the experience and packaging of luxury beauty products makes the difference in what you pay for it. It’s a given that you expect high quality of the product.
