Omg Sandra! Look at that hair 😍😍 I was recommended this video ❤️ so much love 💕

I could listen to you guys talk about fragrance every day!! ❤

As ever, Sandra's earring stacking game is on point! Who is the gold cuff by?

Your skin, makeup looks amazing in this video. I really like what you did with your hair as well. Beautiful! Happy new year ☺

Would it be too much to ask Dena to come back in June and tell us what she's currently loving along with her Summertime makeup musings?! We love these videos from you both so much because both of your perspectives together are gold 💯 a year is too long to wait, and I think I speak for everyone when I say we would love an update every 6 months ✨💕

Love your content but miss your life lately videos... Will you ever upload another? 🥺

I’m going to check all my Chanel products today! I just bought the new highlighting quad excited to try that one out

I remember when I started decluttering my liquid lipsticks (there were plenty in my collection from that trend). The first one I opened--it smelled so bad it was offensive! Ugh. I'm sticking to bullet lipsticks.

The rhode are not good save money. The packaging is bad to

I love your statement that you are looking for products that offer solutions, not problems. Anecdotally, I feel like people were more willing to try and make things work in 2024. Now, in 2025 it seems like we are all rethinking how hard we need to work to make things work, whether it be with clothes or products. I love the honesty and realism!!

Love your honesty

It's settled! I'm springing for that Givenchy concealer! I believe we're the same N250 shade so it's great to know the formula for that shade is great (sometimes shades behave differently in formulation, I've found, when the coverage is medium and above). Ugh, editing my comment to sound my disappointment in hearing that your Chanel palette expired on you. I haven't had anything turn at all but I tend to buy from the permanent collection (aside from the sparkly Duo Lumiere highlighter and the Jardin Imaginaire Blush and Highlighter Duo in Light & Berry). Sound beauty decisions (as always), Sandra! xo

Yessss, I LOVE a good old empties video.I was so disappointed with the merit blush, It blended into nothing and i think it broke me out😢.

Got the hello kitty powder and its really good! and packaging is too cute 🥰

Hi Sandra, thanks for the reminder about the Chanel face pallet. I completely forgot I’ve got it🙈As soon as you said that yours has gotten bad I quickly run to smell mine🤣 My pallet doesn’t have a strong smell that would indicate it’s gone bad but when smelled very closely it has some weird scent to it. Not sure if the smell was there before though?! Will have to try it on my face to see how it performs. Perhaps it’s also gone bad😢 x

Shade 4 of the luminous silk probably would work.

That Playdough scent is a sure sign it’s gone bad. With lipstick, once they smell like crayola crayons, they’ve gone bad.

Absolutely here for Newscaster Sandra, bringing us the beauty news we need. 😊

With the "cleaner" trend... it's unfortunate, items are turning too quickly😞 all the more reason for more mindful consumption going forward 👍🩷

Have you thought of mixing the GA with Guerlain foundation?

I find that those long-wear lip liners like Maybelline lifter liners and the Lisa E original liners are too drying and crinkly, so I love the sculpt and shade liners from LE which are more creamy and hydrating

The beauty pie pitted cream blushes are a satiny-matte cream to powder formula and really nice😊. Love how reasonably priced they are so you can experiment with shades.

I like the rhode blushes a lot, they remind me of the merit but with more colour.

So disappointing the Chanel blush palette has gone bad. I feel for you. I've NEVER had a powder blush go bad! I do have one Chanel powder blush, and this makes me think I had better start using it instead of saving it because it's more "special." It can take awhile to use up a blush, especially when you have more than one! I don't think I'll be buying another Chanel blush. Eighteen month shelf life is not very long. I really appreciate knowing all this. Thank you!

I really hate this trend of removing good preservatives in products. I still want indestructible makeup products, thank you very much!

Love these videos, again I still have a few left overs from last year as 2 lipsticks. They r flat I have to dig out the lippie. I've finished lots of cleansers, eye creams. I've also finished Clinique super surge moisturizer in the universal shade, I've finished a Mac powder - which takes forever to finish. Just a great video ❤❤❤❤❤

I have the Chanel palette, no smell but two of the shades dried out 😕

As a fellow elder millennial girl that blazer is stunning wear the hell out of it! I still have one from that time and it's such a vibe! Luxury brands now that they are moving in the natural direction make me not want to buy from them due to the price if they go bad faster that is just frustrating sorry about your compact! And are you going to update your project pan? Curious to know how you did.

I have the Chantecaille Future Skin & I love it, but agree about the shade range. I really need a lighter shade in it, but they need more shades on both ends, as well as more range in undertones, certainly. And I agree about the Hello Kitty powder - a pleasant surprise! Have a great weekend, Sandra!

I have the Patrick Ta blush duo in "She's so LA" reminds me of the Merit and it has less sheen and a matching powder blush. I have hit pan on it which is super rare in a blush.

Also, they gave that Chanel palette new and sealed on eBay :) The Chanel mirror they sell Is tiny!

You should be a model! You look beautiful, as always 💫

I purchased the Suqqu Nude Ware Liquid EX foundation I had seen on your channel and I love it, thanks. :)

Totally agree with Chantecaille needing to up their color range in foundations. ❤

Thank you for the video! I was thinking of getting merit blush but after this video I will pass. Not a huge fan of too dewy blushes either.

i can't bring myself to drop coin on chantecaille but the way you describe it is how i describe neutrogena undertones lol. of all the drugstore brands they have so many beautiful complexion formulas but the undertones have zero nuance and they cannot do neutrals. can brands please learn to use blue pigment in the new year🙃

I love this makeup chatty format, I feel like I’m catching up with a friend. You have great bone structure and don’t need a contour. I’m similar and realised why do I need to contour? I’ll save my money for other quality products!

Twice this week I reached for a product that smelled like play doh! You’re 100 correct.

woah, at first glance I definitely thought you were Gypsy Rose Blanchard. Post nose job!

Oh, wow! Dena is my skin twin, both in blushes turning warm, skin type, and scalp type. Grateful to know her favorites for the year!!! (Sandra: you’re a close second for many items and you’re my sensibility twin.)

I loove the Eadem but with the lactic acid, I haven't been able to use this every day. I use it a few times a week though and it gets rid of any flakes or chapped lips I might have.

I really love this annual video especially because you and Dena always have different things to share. It is nice to watch two long time friends. It feels really warm and comfortable, like you're in someone's living room talking. Thank you again to both you and Dena for making this a yearly tradition!

What brush do you use with the merit blush??

My FAVORITE of ALL TIME.❤️❤️❤️❤️

as an oily hair girl, I am VERY excited to try Dena's Nizoral trick! I look forward to this video every year. Wishing you both a wonderful start to 2025!!

VIDEO OF THE YEAR IS HERE!!!!!

The two of you are very relaxing and pleasant to listen to.

YAY! 2024 feels like a wrap now!

Thank you keeping the tradition going. I am still using the Zum frankincense and myrrh soap for linens that you two recommended a few years back. Still love it!

Love this annual video ❤
