I love how professional Nikki is. She critiqued the products without dragging the general reputations of the brands. She's also out here risking her PR just to say she does not like these products. She really does care about her viewers. I was second guessing myself whether I should splurge so much money on her brush set cuz I'm trying to build my kit too and this decided it for me. I'm buying them out of so much respect for this woman and her platform. ❤

I LOVE the Merit Skin sticks. I am in my low sixties and have dry skin. I prep my skin to fully hydrate and then use a small amount and use the Merit brush to blend it out. So easy, so simple and wears well. Looks super natural!!

Thank you for this video! I have very recently dipped my toes into self care and "me time" after many years of putting my own self care on the back burner while i raised my 5 children. I have deeply enjoyed watching your videos and learning from you. Learning to apply makeup in my 40s has not been easy. Finding products that work for me with all the influencers out there telling me how amazing products are, I feel like a ton of money has been wasted. It is nice to see some truth about products even if it was sent as PR. Thank you from a mom learning to use skin care and makeup in her mid 40s

I love the merit foundation stick😂 just on a moisturizing/glowy sunscreen, use a dense foundation brush, done.

I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your honesty and authenticity in these type of videos! Thanks ever so much! ❤

[safrica]

Marking myself safe from all the ones that didn’t work for you, Nikki. Glad I don’t have any of it.
Thanks for the honesty!!

I did have to leave a comment. I so appreciated how you told us not to buy this product and why but you gave us a better option! Brilliant 💕

Ive been using Nyx bronzer as eyeshadow from day one! Its the perfect satin finish on my mature eyes . In fact i wish nyx would create a palette with the same formula

[unposhnails]

I like the Merit stick foundation. I use their brush to buff it out and I pretty much use it as a concealer with a few extra swipes to even things out. I think the trick is not to use too much.

[katherineseymour]

I declutterred those Merit products as I didn’t like them. Sometimes as a non-professional you don’t agree with the hype/products and think it must “just be you”. I appreciate how truthful you are and am able to trust your reviews/recommendations.

[marinemom]

Good morning! I completely agree with you on the NYX Butter Bronzers. I bought one, brought it home and immediately hated the color. It was so red toned and so pigmented. So, I took it back and bought two more colors that I thought would work better and hated them both. Instead of taking them back I started using them as eye shadows. I was more impressed using them as eyeshadow than bronzers. You seem to be the only person on Youtube with this opinion and I appreciate you for saying so. Thank you for your honesty when reviewing products!

Nikki LaRose you were always terrific but after this video you are officially in the Angie Hot and Flashy category . Honest-real and confident enough to speak your truth ! Thank You

[heatherreynolds]

So interesting- the Westman Atelier foundation stick will NOT blend on me but I love the Merit stick! I take a brush and take a little off the stick onto the brush and then put it on my face. Using it that way requires almost no blending! I have never put the stick right on my face. I am 46 so I am careful with how much of any product I put on.

Nikki, you did a great job being balanced in your reviews of products that you do not recommend, some of which have been over-hyped or just associated with a very popular brand. It would be helpful if you could perhaps do a similar type review of specific product lines, e.g., "the best and worst" of certain product lines such as Westman Atelier, Victoria Beckham, Huda, ABH. This type of content is so valuable, especially because you offer good alternatives to poorly performing products. I very much appreciate your being straightforward without being overly-negative. You are always so respectful to your audience and so professional in your feedback. Thank you for all your work to help us make wise purchasing decisions.

I LOVE the Nyx buttermelt bronzer and blushes! The "back and butta" dark blush is perfect for putting a tiny bit over the Rhode pocket blush in Toasted Teddy to get it to last a bit longer.

[Xtremeraverbaby]

Honestly your don't buy these videos are doing us all such a favour...thankyou for saving us from wasting our money xx

[audreyso]

Thank you Nikki for these honest opinions on the different products. Have a nice week end🤩🤩🤩

[SoFlgirl]

Omg I love the Merit stick foundation and I have mature combo dry skin. I just buff it on with a dense brush. No issues. I did return the highlighting balm because like you said it’s just leaves an oily mess
