What a joy to see the exterior of the products looking so loved, Matilda 🥰 Really shows that they are mainstays in your routine!

Your yearly favorites are the videos I look forward to the most! Since you get to try so many products, it's so interesting to see what you continue to keep using & what new releases/discoveries make it to your everyday makeup routine. Very helpful when making my wishlist or when I'm undecided on certain products 😊

It’s that time of the year again. Time flies by so quickly, especially this year for me. Your videos make me smile🤍

I love red eyeshadows. Trixie cosmetic’s liquid duochrome, “Summer Flame”, has become a sneaky favorite. I bought it on a whim, and it takes 10 seconds to swipe on and pat around the edges. I wore it while hungover and sleep deprived to my graduation and got so many compliments from people.

your videos just help me relax after a day full of stress and anxiety its my safe place thank you so much

watching your videos always relaxes me. i literally can't get enough of them!!

[Minnow]

I love the way you describe things, so eloquent and smooth and satisfying the way the words roll off your tongue. Really enjoyed this favourites video, and for me my favourites were the Fenty Cream bronzer, Rare Beauty Apricot blush (I’ve almost hit pan), RMS luminizer quad, and Hourglass cream blush in Devoted

[melimeli]

Can't believe it's that time of year again! Your content is always so soothing and helpful

[frostylunetta]

“Hello there” brightens up the room 😊

i'm taking a break from studying for finals -- what great timing! i've been eyeing the merit blush balms for a long while now, and seeing the formula on you might just make me commit to a purchase. watching your videos always makes me want to strive for more intentional purchases and sustainable choices :) can't wait to check out some of your recommendations in-store soon!

[LydiaReneeDarling]

Binging your videos yet again, but this time while finally making a goal board for the year! Only three months late, but much more fun with your beauty edits ;) thanks for all your comfort content Matilda!

Those elf shadow sticks have been a staple for me this year as well. I wear glasses so I swipe it along the bottom of my eye so you can see that I am wearing it.

[SandraSallin]

I always love checking out your favorites. Such beauty and d class.

[padminimayur]

Holy moly! You are really early this year! Well done!

[sray]

I’m already a fan of Merit and watching your video makes me want to explore the brand more in 2024. Can’t wait for your next videos❤

[RebeccaJackson-ue]

I'm catching up on all your videos atm, I love your style of video and enjoy your round up of products I really enjoy Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk cream blush - I actually have a couple now so I'm busy trying them out. I'm only trying out Bobbi Brown shadow sticks ( finally ), I have been liking them for a while. They stay put as well ❤❤❤❤❤

It's always nice to see a round up of beauty favourites. My favourites this year are:
-Chanel's Signature de Chanel eyeliner pen. I really like the brush tip, no skipping of eyeliner during application. Smudge proof, lasts all day. I managed to use it up so quickly.

-Bourjois small round eyeshadow pots! Lovely baked powder eyeshadows that are so smooth and pigmented.

-Bourjois mascara, Twist up the volume balm booster mascara. No smudging, great curl hold, definition and volume.

-Sisley Paris, Phyto eye twist. Eyeshadow sticks that creamy smooth, and lasts all day.

-Dior Iconic Overcurl mascara. I prefer this to their Pump' n Volume mascara. The Iconic Overcurl is lightweight and holds the curl better.

-Two mascaras by Chanel. Noir Allure mascara and Le Volume.

Miracle balm in Tawny is my summer favorite! I pat it on my cheeks, a little around my forehead, and a tiny bit on my nose. It is undetectable and truly just mimics the look of getting some sun. Jones road is unuderrated
