All Of The Makeup I Regret Buying In 2022

[@LisaF_]

I love how you have called this things you regret buying and not the worst products ever because your reasoning is so very thoughtful. You don’t want to rain on anyone’s parade that might like them. It’s just such a kind way to approach things. ❤ Ps. I got that Rose Inc concealer for the same reason and I disliked it too! Gah!

[@Ari_Kle]

Yes, agree. Great title!

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so much Lisa 💗💗

I love your reference to Sephora as “ The Willie Wonka Chocolate Factory” I live in Oz and have never been inside a Sephora store for many reasons . • I live rural Queensland • I am on a disability pension so funds are limited . • I have a chronic illness that consumes my most of my days , so I would need to really plan ahead . I’m 50 years old and have just started really truly loving makeup and cannot wait for the day I can put some luxury makeup all over my face . Makeup makes me happy and makes me feel better about myself. I think I also try to use it as a distraction to the eye so people don’t notice my leg brace , my walker , my wheel chair , my weight gain or the other physical bloopers that happen to my body .

The foundation experience is so personal. What you described for Lys was my experience with haus lab foundation, it breaks down, looks terrible in a few hours and fades away. I’m still trying on different colors for the lys foundation which works a lot better for my skin type.

[@jesss491]

The lys serium also broke my makeup up super bad! Thank you for you honest reviews 😊

[@verenaweisz1713]

I love this video! It's really interesting to know what doesn't work out or someone doesn't like it and why. Sometimes it's even more telling than favorites!

[@Nina-gf8zr]

Agree on the CT cream eyeshadows. They really do crease terribly but when I really work them into the skin with a brush (for a while 😄) they don’t and last long on me. So they’re not a fast option in the morning but at least I can actually use them 😅

[@stefaniemezigian414]

Just starting this, but I already love the approach to this video

[@marielle7505]

Me too

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you! 💗💗

[@LyraDavis]

I really appreciate the way you describe things. It’s so clear and to the point. But still with the warmth of your personality coming through. I found your channel yesterday and you’re a hidden gem!

[@MartinaLily]

Wow, thank you! 💗💗

[@ascensionessentials]

I love the hourglass elephant pallet. ❤😅😅

[@kat3325]

Rose inc in 010 is amazing match for true neutral/pale olive undertone. It wears very well, but it is definitely not the full coverage, more like mid coverage, which I am fine with. Absolutely understood the rave Hannah had, since I have the same problem as her and finding good grey-ish shade is insanely hard.

“I’m the same shade of paper all year” 😂😂😂 Same!!! Appreciate your thoughtful roasting and reasoning why the products don’t work for you. 🥰

[@MartinaLily]

Hahha Thank you! 💗💗

[@carolclopper9020]

Love the way you titled this video. I enjoy hearing your opinions. I think this might be a lesson in trusting one’s instincts. ❤️

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I like the fact that you are styling these as regrets. I love the NARS radiant concealer. I love the minis and I use them as a colour corrector as well. I don’t go heavy and I don’t want to achieve a flawless finish. I am too old to try for a smooth flawless finish. I have an aversion to full coverage foundation. I dilute them all these days. I might add a bit of full coverage to a tinted moisturizer to increase the blur or a bit of full coverage to an area of discolouration. I’ll even use it as colour correction or concealer under my eyes. I have to manage texture.

[@celestialstar8115]

The one size bronzer has three different shades. Top one is neutral toned for shading middle is warm toned for bronzing and the bottom one at the opening is cool toned for contouring. It contains all three in one. It is very useful and helpful. All three aren’t bronzers. I personally didn’t find the product patchy at all.

[@nolacraft2824]

As a person with a coconut allergy, I truly appreciate that you brought up the fact the CT powder has coconut in it. I was considering purchasing it myself. I would be so upset to be digging my skin, seedling or rashed cuz that didn’t mention it on the site.

[@msbellydancagirl]

I agree on most of these! I did return these, even the hourglass pallette, it wasn't worth it!

[@carolynlindenmayer3577]

Worst powder I tried this year was the Rare Beauty loose powder. I thought it worked OK in Winter but the minute the weather warmed up it disappeared on my face. There are far better powders out there more suitable for combo/oily skin. Worst foundation I tried for me was the Clinique Even Better foundation. Very texturising and no amount of powder seemed to blur it. Those CT cream eyeshadows crease on me too.

[@lavayuki]

I agree with a lot of yours, especially LYS which I personally don't like for any of their products. I don't like the formula. My worst purchase was the Givenchy prisme libre pressed powder, it hard pans after every use and I had to constantly use tape to fix this. I do notice that a lot of high end luxury powders hard pan with all oils and skincare stuff they have in them, compared to simple drugstore powders that don't have all these hydrating things that cause pressed powders to hard pan

[@melina_m_makeup]

Great video! LYS is also a brand for me that's hit or miss. I didn't like the foundation and returned it and the concealer is ok. I have the bronzer but don't tend to reach for it much. I'm not gna declutter it and will try and use it but it's not my favorite. Now the Hourglass foundation and primer is soooooo good ! I guess cuz I have oily skin it gives such a beautiful natural finish and the primer is so blurring and smoothing for me! Also I love the Givenchy prisme Libre powder is really nice! But if it's drying then that's prob why it works for me haha! It helps keep my oily tzone nice and matte or satin finish. Haven't tried the new CT Airbrush powder ( white one) . I think I'll hold off purchasing then since we do both have dry undereyes.

[@jessstares1535]

Omg. I'm so glad someone else thinks the same about the hourglass pallettes. I looked at the elephant one and I was like this is wayyyy too dark for me. I wanted to love it soo much but... alas.

[@amynoonan4236]

This was so informational! I agree with most of your regrets. The Hourglass Elephant palette's bronzer looked so orange on me. It was awful. I am now subscribed!

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so much Amy! 💗💗

[@megdvs21]

Great title concept 😀, for me it was buying a shade in the hourglass ambient soft glow foundation trying to find a winter shade because i loved the finish and wear of the summer shade on me so much ,with the primer …. There y one … i can only get a summer shade in that foundation

[@linams3059]

The Gerlaine terracotta is si old a very very old formula!!!! I think it came out in the 1980’s!!!! So so very old❤

[@MartinaLily]

Oh wow I did not know this! Thank you! 💗💗

[@Ari_Kle]

I would LOVE to see you do a holy grails video ❤❤❤

[@rachaelredlich3451]

Thanks for true and honest reviews. Also mentioning for your skin only. You play with a lot of cosmetics and get a good idea on how they work and when they don’t. 33:37

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you lovely 💗💗

[@ashleabiggers9471]

What base products are you wearing here?!? Perfection!!

[@MartinaLily]

Oh thank you! It's the pur love your selfie foundation and the kosas breezy powder 💗💗

[@elisasegal8153]

Yes! Yes! Yes! Agree with you 99% (I love the Hourglass palettes-I have both the elephant and the butterfly :-)). I just did a huge declutter and was on the fence about a few of the products. You confirmed my feelings on all of them 🙂...so THANK YOU! They have now gone buh bye. Great video 🙂

[@djekwodn3747]

i have super dark circles and fine lines, as well as textured and dry under eyes and i find that the rose inc concealer in lx010 works really well for me! i just have to make sure i’m properly moisturized! it’s crazy how complexion products work wildly different on everyone haha

[@MartinaLily]

So crazy! I love hearing about products that don't work for me but do for others because it really shows how different we all are 💗💗

[@Theelizabethedit8]

Odd because the charlotte tilbury eyes to mesmerize cream eye shadows set down for me. I love them.

[@megdvs21]

Hope you’re having a good week 💕

[@juliayk]

I regret the hourglass elephant palette too. I thought it was going to be a bit dark for me but I didn't like the lightest palette layout. And a lot of youtubers said that the elephant palette worked for their fair skin. Urgh. I agree with everything you said. The pans are way too small. The blushes are good but the powders are too dark. The highlighter is too dark. The bronzer is too yellow imo. I'll only use the blushes 😭 So sad because this was my first hourglass palette. You live and you learn I guess haha

[@gwendolyncampbell7932]

I was just about to try the Rose Inc concealer. I love the Patrick Starr blush and bronzer ,they are super pigmented but as someone deeper skin it works for me. It was fun hearing how things work or not for you.Makes me use caution and not jump on the hype train! I wasn't happy with my Adept face palettes,I am still trying to figure out how to use them best.

[@MartinaLily]

Yes, I actually was thinking while I was editing this that the One size products would be brilliant for deeper skin tones. And agreed I need to learn to not jump on the hype train too! haha I hope the Adept palettes end up working for you 💗💗

[@celestialstar8115]

The Patrick star palette is shading bronzing and contouring all in one. They have different undertones and palette is useful as all three are in one. I think she doesn’t even know that all three colours serve different purpose. Seems to have not checked anything about the product

[@RebeccaJackson-u1e]

This is a old video but I can be like that at times, occasionally I just don't like some products and I just have to give them away. I'm trying to b more aware of what I'm buying so I'm not wasting products or money. Family members r happy as they get free products 🤩🤩🤩

[@plidiastachowiak]

Radiant Creamy Concealer do not work for me either.. But Laura Mercier is my treasure

[@notimportant123]

I would love to see a video about your hair loss and hair journey. I have also suffered from it But I understand if you aren't comfortable with that because it's very personal and vulnerable. ❤ Also this video is super helpful!

[@MKgoob710]

She has one on her channel from about a year ago. Search her name + hair and it pops up. She goes over her toppers, etc.

[@northernrokz79]

Are you going to do a best of 2022?

[@hijennwu]

i regret not returning a Merit lipstick that didn’t work out for me and buying some eyeshadow palettes i won’t wear as often. but overall i’m still happy with my goodies from the year!

[@EmilysMakeupBag1]

You KNOW I agree about the RCMA foundation! 😅

[@Tyraluvs]

I have used the Kevyn Aucoin product. If you use a facial oil or a cream with it it can actually be a lovely product. But I get it. Why should we futz with a product it should come ready to go.

[@violetviolet888]

Tyra Hudson: No. Humans are too different, there are too many variables. Consumers should be educated about how to tweak products to their needs instead of spending time and money for something that is almost perfect. A drop of oil here, a color drop there, mixing a hydrating darker shade with a lighter dryer shade, etc. Totally fun, totally do-able.

[@sherrypettit5552]

Huda beauty loose powder is very drying on dry under eyes. First time I used it, it sucked the moisture out of my skin.

[@ashlovesblush13]

Girl, YES! That little Laura Mercier secret brightening powder is the most garbage powder I've ever used. Makes my undereyes look HORRIBLE. I have yet to find an undereye powder or concealer combo that I love, but holy crap that LM one takes the cake for the most awful one I've tried LOL.

Very good review about some unreasonable overhyped products

[@violetviolet888]

30:36 Martina: After listening to you for this video, it sounds like you would benefit from watching videos about trusting your intuition. Also, from watching Hannah Louise Poston's videos. Especially the thought processes she has during her decluttering which are unlike any other beauty youtuber.

[@MartinaLily]

Oh I watch so many of Hannah's videos haha She is one of my all time faves. Her and I are a little different in that she is a lot more of a minimalist than me but she inspires me alot 💗

[@heathersargent289]

Uhh I bought 3 of the CT eye's to memorize cream shadows this week chocolate bronze champagne and oyster pearl I thought for sure I was gonna love them and all the hype around them well I bought oyster pearl the other day thought I loved it but then bought 2 more yesterday and I used them today and was like ahh nothing amazing and regret spending like 110$ of 3 cream shadows I could have bought the new YSL quads or the CDP quads and I'm like bring them back but idk if i still have the receipt for the first one the women at Sephora kept it because I bought the Tatcha cleansing balm and hated it and wasn't keeping something that burned my skin and sucked every bit of moisture off it while not getting rid of light eye make.. na I wanted my 40$ back . Idk if they can looks up my purchase on the app like Ulta so I can bring that back or not but I have total regrets buying that along with the laniege cream skin milk cleanser so I spent 140$ on crap just yesterday not counting my purchase 3 days ago of the Tatcha cleansing balm and the CT OP shade. 😭

Did you complain to the brand about the coconut in the power? The ingredients on the website should match what's on the box or that's really sneaky!

BananaNoodle, it's no secret from Charlotte Tilbury. They have an entire page on it: Coconut Extract: Benefits for Skin, look it up.

@@violetviolet888 I didn't mean complain about their use of coconut. I meant the ingredients on the website should match the ingredients on the box. It's not on for them to be different- people have allergies.

This is so awkward. I just invested in LYS beauty and their merchandise apparel. I did buy the primer but I did not use it yet. I did try the makeup. Clean makeup in my opinion smells funky like chalk. The Addison ray item beauty eye pencils are horrible!

[@violetviolet888]

Stephanie Danes79: Depending on your definition, clean makeup contains less or no preservatives which means the ingredients go bad a lot faster. Just like organic produce. You know it's real when it actually goes bad over time.

[@marielle7505]

I know you just want to describe to us, but it pains me a bit every time you call your undereyes difficult. Please. It's skin. Skin does wrinkle. It has discoloration. It can be too dry, or too oily. It is all normal. Most people have those things, a few of them or all of them or even more. All normal. It's skin.

[@justynawisniewska1213]

I mean it is normal for people's skin to have discolouration or wrinkles. However it does make it more difficult to do makeup on skin with more texture, does not mean it's bad or abnormal. It's ok to disclose it in this way, pretty neutral in my opinion.
