I am grateful for you and all of the work you put into your channel. No one in my daily life cares about makeup the way I do, and some even devalue it. It’s cool to hang out with intelligent, creative people who have this aesthetic hobby. Thanks for all you put into the beauty community and the space you are creating for us. You're pretty awesome. Have a great New Year 🎉

You don’t even understand. Your product descriptions when you tell us about the products and describe how they work, the texture, the wear, all of the figurative language and adjectives are SO EFFECTIVE. I’m never surprised at all when I pick up a product you recommend because it’s ALWAYS just like you describe it. It’s an incredible gift that you have and share with us for real!!

When I get burned out on makeup videos, I never will turn away one of your videos Amanda. Keep on doing what you’re doing because you are truly one of the best and most authentic influencers!

Fav channel of ‘23. I’d personally love to see more full face tutorials sprinkled in. Every lewk you serve in the swatches is stunning, and I’m always curious what the combos are especially with the eye looks and application

My favorite "Best of" video of 2023 - by far. I love how you analyze makeup and the details you provide are so informative and helpful, without being too lengthy. I really appreciate your channel and content, Amanda. Looking forward to your videos in 2024!

My secret with travelling with Natasha Denona shadows is to pop a few out (they are removable and magnetise) and put them into a more secure palette (the salt New York ones are great and literally designed for that). Has been a game changer!

The little Anastasia shout out made me so happy💖💖💖 Kinda want the Gucci bronzer for that reason only😂😂😂

[minhanh]

I like Ferrero Coconut too. Back when I was small, my parents only bought it for holidays and new year times. It brings back so much happy memories for me.

I bought rms maiden's blush this year when they had a great discount going. Fell immediately in love! Went back for sangria & crystal slipper as well as the luminizer prosecco fizz. They're my fav "powder" blush formula ever now! Anyone interested in maiden's blush & crystal slipper: you don't need both. They're nearly identical on the skin tone wise, maiden's blush is just "darker". Both are gorgeous regardless!

I could not get down with the Merit Signature Lipstick ... Beautiful shades but each one I purchased had a Dollar Store birthday candle wax mixed with baby powder scent/taste that I can't handle.

But the shade L'Avenue was MADE FOR YOU. Every time I see you wear it in a video, it knocks my socks off! 😍

[belindah]

Its evident you enjoy what you do as you do it so well. Wishing you continued success throughout 2024 ❤

Would love to see a Lisa Eldridge lipsticks video from you :-)

Hey Amanda! It's nice to hear mention of the Basma stick foundation again! You and Kackie and a few other YTers loved it when it was first out, then I heard nothing about it. I bought one - a huge leap for me bc not only do I not shop online, I would never attempt to get the right shade in something I wear so infrequently. My usual "foundation" is actually a tinted mineral SPF with a light dusting of mineral powder, well buffed in. I got lucky with the Basma product, and it works when my rosacea has its moods. Love the video, also love that you're talking about some products that haven't been over promoted in this crazy year of excess. Now is the time for us all to catch our collective breath! Thanks for the video!

I love how long this video is omg I’m so excited. Gonna hang for a while

[riven]

Awwww, Anastasia! Such an underrated movie! I quote Bartok's story of how his nephew just keeled over mid-mango far more than anyone has a right to. Stress, it's a killer! I was in love with her blue dress as a kid. Okay and as an adult.

You're so close to 100k and I'm so excited! You put so much thought and work in your content and deserve all the subs.

Lorac Noir is so slept on. It is such a gorgeous solid neutral pallet. I also love Fairytale Forest. The toppers in it where ahead of their time.

Menopause is killing my face. I had acne here and there in school...not much though. But now at 51 I'm making up for lost acne time. So I will try the patches Thank you for sharing with us.

[hanahal-rashed]

I love the Basma stick it’s so underrated, but truly the best stick foundation of all time is the Tom Ford traceless stick foundation. Best foundation of all time period!

[analinsaturria]

Yes! The Makeup by Mario powder bronzer!!!! I have that one and the ones in my Hourglass palettes. Don’t really need anything else!

[cherryblossom]

What a cozy video to watch before bedtime 😊 And I really trust your judgement on products, so I might get inspired (I really shouldn’t buy more though haha)
