Beauty Products That AREN'T Worth Your Money (and what is)

[@meme1506]

It must have been so hard to decline that Ulta sponsor to maintain integrity… this is a part of building your own brand; rooted in honesty and transparency. This is something unique about your brand that cannot speak for a lot of beauty influencers, and is healthy for you and your audience in the long term.

[@StateofKait]

Thank you for the love!

[@MurkaMurkovsky]

As a subscriber, I should say that we deeply appreciate your honesty and that you’ve turned down their partnership suggestion because of how they handle their service. Thank you❤

[@mbear278]

I’m shocked how Ulta has handled your situation. You would think they would want more paying customers - their loss 🤦🏻‍♀️

[@StateofKait]

Same! And I looked at Reddit and saw that a ton of people were having the same issue. I really think they’re missing out on a lot of money

[@robinrenechadwell]

Ulta is a huge mess and products are priced higher than competitor's regular price.

[@missparker855]

I can’t believe you have only 50K subscribers! Your style of straight talk about products is articulate, to the point, and enjoyable. I notice you don’t badmouth things that are not necessarily right for you, but could be for someone else. I hope your channel continues to grow!

[@StateofKait]

Thank you!

[@Kad6976x]

I agree. Just found her and she's so down to earth and informative. She doesn't seem uppity like a lot of youtube makeup reviewers. Reminds me of some of the OG girls of beauty youtube ! ❤

[@emilycolangelo1876]

You are not alone! I have had the exact same problems with Ulta! I couldn't add anything to my saved list for at least 3 months and couldn't place an order for almost as long! I couldn't figure it out and their customer service team was no help at all. I finally just gave up and did my shopping at Sephora until the problem was fixed. I can't even count the number of products have received that were damaged. Totally agree with you!

[@StateofKait]

SO frustrating

[@unposhnails3366]

I live about 5 minutes from an Ulta so I haven’t dealt with corporate customer service at all because I always return in store and they never give me any problems. The packaging is horrible though.

[@nickimontie]

I can't get them to add a purchase to my account. A dozen email exchanges and 3 months later, it's still not fixed. So I go elsewhere to purchase my products.

[@ali.2324]

i still can’t add things to my favorites list! it’s been over a year!!!

[@laurenmize7906]

Same thing suddenly happened to me. So frustrating!

[@LizRoxYoga1]

Ulta. Where do I start. I had the error problem. Mine was fixed just by deleting the app and reinstalling. Your problem seems way deeper than that unfortunately. I can not agree with you more on their customer service. It’s the most frustrating experience to have to repeat yourself over and over just to get some boilerplate response. Now let’s get to the shipping. It never fails that something will be broken or just outright missing!! I wish I had a solution for you but all I can do is agree with you and feel your pain! I do however want to commend you on your honesty and integrity. I recently just started following you and I try to be very selective on the influencers that I follow. I clearly made a good choice with you. Keep doing what you’re doing and speaking your truth. People appreciate it. I promise you. ❤

[@Roktta06]

Yes absolutely we do appreciate honesty specially in a very deceiving community of influencers that hype a product that is just horrible.

[@sherrypettit5552]

I swear I find things missing in every order. Usually 1 item

[@Jasmine-tr1zs]

I so appreciate how concise and honest your content is.

[@StateofKait]

Thank you!

[@valariebrown3768]

Honesty, integrity, ethics. Rare, indeed. Thank you. ❤❤❤❤

[@alikat8221]

But super common for those of us with Autism 🙌🏻 Welcome to the club, Kait!

[@CareyXO]

This is the first I’ve heard of your ASD diagnosis. I have a daughter with autism. She’s amazing and the most fascinating person I know. She is certainly straight forward and tells it like it is not to mention honest. I have always loved your personality and reviews. ❤

[@StateofKait]

Thank you 🥹 I was diagnosed in March so it’s all very new to me. Big hugs to you and your daughter.

[@CareyXO]

@@StateofKait Remember it’s all part of what makes you YOU! What makes a person unique in my opinion should be celebrated. Some of the traits that come from my daughter having autism are what make her extraordinary. It’s only a part of her, not her as a whole. I definitely see extraordinary traits in you.

[@StateofKait]

@@CareyXO That's so sweet, thank you. It's also definitely contributed to the hate I've gotten throughout the years. I am often rude or blunt without meaning to and that has undoubtedly made a lot of people hate me, so it's something I'm working on.

[@CareyXO]

@@StateofKait I understand that. I’m sorry you have felt that way. My daughter can come across that way as well. When she was little a friend (that is a specialist in autism and other neurotypical issues) told me that it is much like teaching a person to be an actor for a role. The world/society is my daughter’s stage and she has to “act” (because it’s not her natural instinct) a certain way. So I teach her along the way. In a restaurant we aren’t loud, we hold eye contact when speaking to someone etc etc on and on. I honor her quirks and actually love them, but I also want her to be successful in a society that has unfortunately had expectations as to what is acceptable.

[@StateofKait]

@@CareyXO You sound like such a wonderful Mom! I totally relate to acting a role, when I'm interacting with people on social media now I approach every conversation as if I were in a customer service department - with a few exceptions.

[@milkeywilkie]

this is really random but your bone structure in your face is really beautiful, when you smile there's a really clear line from your dimples straight up your cheekbones that gives your face such a snatched and classic look!

[@StateofKait]

Oh wow, thank you 🥹

[@laura10777]

Kait!! You are not the only one having Ulta issues! For the last 2 years, I haven’t been able to add items to my favorites list either! I’ve been around and around with customer service. Good for you for taking a stand with the content opportunity!! I hope they change something, but I’m not too optimistic.

[@emilyjaeckel3091]

I have noticed that you can only have 200 favorites. If you want to add anything, you have to delete something else.

[@sasandbernard7862]

Welcome to the ASD + ADHD club! Reviewers like you are great for the rest of us! Your texture descriptions help us find “sensory-friendly” products, and your application-ease reviews help us find things we can use even if we can’t focus at the time. You might not have thought about it that way, but thank you!

[@ellelee8760]

Re: MOB shadows, I always set them with a translucent powder after because they don’t self set. I’m able to still apply powders over them though I sometimes just use them as colored primers to intensify shades. I have deep creases and can 7-ish hour wear with far far less movement than without a powder on top. Re: Phyto bronzer, I like to use a more dense brush and I swirl for a bit longer and more intensely than normal. Gently scoring the surface helps a ton, even if it’s just a squiggle. Im not there swirling for a minute+, I just pick it up and swirl faster and firmer for maybe 5 seconds. Since it’s easy to work with and hard to over apply, I feel safe loading up the brush with more than a typical cream product.

[@kam9543]

I googled who the CEO is at Ulta and emailed him. Wouldn't ya know all my issues were resolved plus I received a $25 gift card. I did what I did and said what I said 🤷🏻‍♀️ Yeah going that far up the corporate chain is a bit much but it worked.

[@StateofKait]

You’re brilliant, I’m stealing that

Makeup by Mario Smokey Pink is my holy grail lipliner and I have tried all the popular ones and colors. So glad this is getting some notice - finally.

Kait, Ditto, ditto, ditto and all of the above regarding Ulta. I had every issue you mentioned and more if possible. I was done with the outsourced customer service that is of no help. I couldn't check out, couldn't save for later and my past purchases took nearly a year to be reloaded to my account after their upgrade on the app. So, I feel you. Also, everyone needs to watch their increases in prices over the actual brand website . OK, I'm done.😂

[@StateofKait]

So annoying!

[@jackiestone5808]

And how about their horrible website with all its glitches as you try to switch colors on a product…waiting, waiting, waiting, then still fails to load Then half the time doesn’t load a product to my cart. I just usually give up

[@joanneblakely2498]

Kait I love your honesty when reviewing products which makes you a stand out channel. I have heard so many people not like the Milk jelly tint stains but because you spoke highly about them I went ahead and bought a couple. The stain is perfection, the feeling when applying is so refreshing and somehow they apply so perfectly inside the lip lines, for me they are a love. Thank you for your hard work and honesty😘

[@StateofKait]

So glad you like them too! Thanks for the love

[@asish6565]

I’m here for the part where you say “ And the notes are…😊😍” there is smth so sweet and calming when you talking about perfume notes😊 I can’t get enough! Hope to see more of that ❤

[@StateofKait]

😊 thank you

[@Majspiir]

5 years 😛 Then I’ve been watching your channel from the start. Good for you, that it’s growing. You are honest and fair. Love that. Even though a lot of the products can’t be bought here in Denmark, I’m always happy to see and get some inspiration. And many can be bought here. I pick very few very good products anyway. By the way (and more importantly). Your channel actually made me think, that it’s my hyper mobility that’s been causing me so much pain and injuries and operations. I now also have painful Piezogenic Papules on my heel and can walk so much less, than I would normally.

[@StateofKait]

Thank you! And hyper mobility is super common but not talked bout widely, I’m glad my content could potentially help you ❤️

Your integrity and dedication to truth is truly so admirable. You are a gem on youtube, truly one in a million 💗

[@dear_totheheart]

Yes, its back - love this series/reviews of yours - always so useful and as others mention, your sincerity and our ability to genuinely trust you're not viewing your audience as a sale is such a refreshing rarity! Also, your eyes and mascara is fantastic - such a beautiful glow (ah, originally thought the effect was all from the Armani, wish it was - as I wish Phytosurgence wasn't a brand I can't access easily [admittedly I don't like what I consider indie, relatively unknown, or "off brands"] and that there was a one-and-done option that provides that light!) and your eyes are always fanned and elegant, your own style of beauty and approach to makeup that enhances your features is really lovely

[@azcurlygurl]

Wow! Add me to the long list of customers that can't save to favorites on Ulta. I cannot believe this is happening to so many people and it's not fixed. But then, I remember the sale debacle, so maybe I'm not surprised. Here's the workaround I found: I add everything to cart, then go to my cart and save each item for later. A two step process, and much more inconvenient, but at least I don't forget to pick up things.

[@gorlgoyle]

I found the Phyto bronzer hard to use at first too but I’m now having great success with their Sky Fluff brush! I swirl with some pressure on the pan, and generously so, and it applies wonderfully. I’m so happy to have gotten it to work and it’s now my go-to! Hope this helps!!

[@StateofKait]

Thanks!!

[@jennyelledge566]

@stateofkait their skyfluff blush is designed to be used with their bronzers. I’ve also had success with a microfiber velvet beauty blender (cheap one from Amazon).

[@KatieJoOrr]

The MOB BEAUTY shadows crease pretty bad on me too! I ordered a whole pallet bc I love what the brand stands for and all the colors, but they’re not long wearing and pretty expensive so I was disappointed. However, a non silicone based eye primer definitely helps a lot! OR just Wear over a neutral matte shadow paint, like about face (smell b4 rain) or the no budge cream shadows from ELF have worked for me, I typically just use the white in a light layer. This still doesn’t make them completely crease proof but it helps! Also set w a tiny bit of powder. It’s a lot of effort but they’re gorgeous color payoff and blend so seamlessly-if you can get them to set 😅

Not me literally playing with slime while watching this video!! 👀 I’d highly recommend checking out OG slimes. They do weekly drops on Fridays and they can be hard to get ahold of outside of that, but they’re so worth it imo. Plus their KZbin shorts content is to die for!

[@valerieP1968]

Let me first preface this by saying that I love shopping at ULTA. I mean physically going into the store and shopping. I am tactile. I like to swatch the products, see what they look like on my skin, and how they wear. I also have a weird olive undertone and shade matching is a challenge. I have amassed a collection of foundations that were supposed to be a good match, and they weren't. I've ordered from ULTA online once and I will never order anything online from them again. The products were not packaged well at all. You would think for a company that deals with fragile cosmetics products, they would do a better job at packaging. I would compare their detail to packaging similar to Amazon. Sephora does a much better job with packaging, sort of. I really appreciate your honesty and no-nonsense approach.

As a lover of water stains, you are the one reviewer that could convince me to get the Milk ones. I don’t really care about their blush use, since I don’t wear blush, but I LOVE sheer red lip stains. I’m very pale, so I look like I’m dying of hypothermia whenever I eat cold foods 😅. A sheer red lip stain is a very pretty way to counteract the blue tones from eating cold food. All I want in a water stain is wear time, so the Milk ones seem right up my alley! I have a lot of trouble finding red lip stains that are actually red, they’re usually bright pink or very orange. The shade chill looked STUNNING on you so I’m excited to try it. I always wanted a water stain stick so I could carry it around for use on the go without worrying about it shattering in my pockets. Have you had any packaging issues with the Milk stains?

I just came across your channel today. I think, overall, you are going to be a good fit for me. I too, have combination skin. I'm 55 (you're not) and lines and aging show where I'm dry. I have the same problems with sensitivity. I cannot use any products on my eyes to moisturize and all that stuff. They ALL make my eyes, goopy, puffy, sticky....serums are ok. My skin color is the lightest shade of medium. I do not know if I'm cool, warm, neutral...I don't have orange, yellow or pink... I appreciate that you share how you truly feel about a product and your experience with it. I have hooded eyes. I loved how you shared about textures, quality, lasting power, efficacy, finish, scents....my skin is soooooo sensitive . I finally can try products based on your experiences. I don't often try products anymore because they have been so disappointing. I look forward to trying the foundation that worked for your skin. That stuff never stays on me, it's too oily in my T-Zone and matte settles weird on me. I like my skin to feel Normal...not oily or dry or wet. Anyway, I'm going to re-watch thus video and write down the names of the products and colors (if not already noted elsewhere) I've wanted to try the lip tints and oils, cream foundations...now I know which ones worked or worked-ish for you. I don't mind investing in makeup that I stand a good chance of it working out well for me. Cost IS a factor. If something works well and lasts long, I will do my best to come up with the money to keep it in stock. Thank you so much!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

About Ulta - I've run into the same problems. The favorites issue is related to them putting a limit on the number of items you can favorite & Ulta not communicating that. If the check out error is about an "invalid payment method" and you are trying to use over $30 worth of points that is the issue which is stupid. Only figured out that one after ranting about it to an Ulta store manager & they mentioned that for in-store purchases they needed to see an id in order to use that many points. I can only use under $30 worth of points when I order online. Online support for Ulta did not help at all for those issues. I've been having the shipping issues for about a year now (missing and or damaged products). I've gotten refunds and replacements thankfully but it is very frustrating. I've switched to only ordering from Ulta if I can pick the product up in store and order from Sephora or the manufacturer's website directly if I can't do that. If it were for Ultas points program then I would completely stop using them at this point

For Rosacea try PROcure Rosacure gel. It's light and moisturizing. I have mild to moderate Rosacea and this feels nice on my skin. I'm not a skin expert by any means but one thing or rather a few things that have helped is using Neutrogena Skin Perfecting daily liquid exfoliant for dry sensitive skin at night with TIRTIR Light Essence Toner (Antifungal and Acne safe)which is super moisturizing and my advanced clinicals Retinol+ Niacinamide cream for face and body. This has built my skin barrier and promoted cell turnover. Use a gentle foaming cleanser to wash face. I like Okay birch water gentle foaming cleanser. ELF has a good melting balm for double cleansing. If you have any questions about my morning routine I would be happy to share that too as well as how to ease into Neutrogena Skin Perfecting daily liquid exfoliant and retinol.

You looked gorgeous with the Saie products. You do have to keep building it up or it does appear to blend away. But on you, it looked to stay and look beautiful, at least on camera.

This new set of Phytosurgence eyeshadows are their best yet!

[@brendachance9273]

I appreciate how honest you are with us viewers. Thank you! One question though, why do you drink sleepytime tea during the day? Does it not work to put you to sleep? 😴

[@StateofKait]

Nope! The only thing that puts me to sleep is weed or ambien lol. My biggest challenge in life is falling asleep

[@AlisonIvy]

You’re awesome. I love your style and how you describe your critiques, so helpful and easy to take in.

[@StateofKait]

thanks!

[@fernr3837]

Such a fun video!! You’ve convinced me to try the Innbeauty SPF - I love a good mineral tinted SPF. 😆

[@StateofKait]

I love it so much, on my second tube already lol

[@kristenmarquis7648]

Appreciate your integrity!!

[@alejandrinaromero6462]

I always felt your deep dives were like adhd hyperfocus. I have adhd and videos like "i tried a gazillion vanilla perfumes, and here's the ranking" are like an hour long dopamine hit for me😂❤

[@StateofKait]

Yeah I think the signs were there all along that I was neurodivergent 😂 I actually submitted my deep dives as evidence in my ASD assessment!

[@karenh8418]

No, you’re not the only one that has had issues with Ulta online! It took me TEN…1-0…YEARS to update my shipping address with Ulta. Years of calling…trying everything in the book on my end to get it resolved. I would change…add…update my address only for it to automatically default back to the previous address. I feel your frustration!!! Thank you for not compromising your standards!!

[@laikanbarth]

Yes, I’ve had problems with Ulta especially the app. Half of the time I can’t even sign in and I learned my lesson about ordering from the Ulta app. Most of the time my product comes broken and I’ve heard others complain about it too. It sucks because some products are only offered online and not in the store!!

[@Epz503]

As a big fan of Julianna’s Perfume, I was so excited to see you mention them and can’t wait to hear your full thoughts! Time for Romance is a dupe for Fragrance Du Bois’s Minuit et Demi, a collab with fragrance KZbinr Demi Rawling. I own a full bottle and love it!

[@StateofKait]

So good!!

[@dasarkas]

@StateofKait my favorite Chao is Spicy Maya and it’s also sold as a hot chocolate mix. The BEST! If s’more is it for you and you are a coffee drinker, buy a bag of Blue Bottle’s Giant Steps. It’s a s’mores in a cup. The most delicious roast of coffee I’ve ever had.

[@StateofKait]

SOLD AND SOLD

I actually really like the butterfly kisses tint color on your skin tone! I think it looks gorgeous on you =)

[@574shelley]

I just love all your videos, you put so much thought,time, energy into all of them. You definitely do your homework on every video and I’m greatly appreciative. Hope you have a great day and thanks again for all you do. ❤❤❤

[@StateofKait]

Thank you, you too!

[@starsof1889]

you are definitely not the only one that struggles with Ulta, at large. Their website functionality is one of the worst. Ultra, if you're reading this, PLEASE fix all of the issues. PLEASE!!!!!

[@80sbrunnette]

The Prequel redness serum does NOTHING for my rosacea😭 Also, I’ve seen almost every video of yours and when you say “this color is not for me” It always looks so good on you, especially lip products 🥲

[@AngelaOberlin-t3b]

Have you ever tried ivermectin (solantra brand name) for rosacea? It works really well; it is a prescription.

[@Megan-mt3gq]

I’m going to try the slime to help with focus! Thanks for the tip. 😊

[@dafne9969]

Kaitt!!! I NEED to know where you got those earrings from, they’re gorgeous ❤❤

[@StateofKait]

They are the Idyl Lucia add on with one of their base stones - in white gold

[@waterballoonfighter]

Thank you for sharing your diagnosis and stimming 🥹 I’ve always felt like an odd one out but because I “look normal” and wear makeup and cute clothes and like fashion I’m met with “you’re definitely not autistic!”. So it’s just so nice to see someone I can reflect in and recognise myself in, and seeing you stimming with slime just gave me this inner calm 😌 Sorry if that’s a weird message, just wanted to say thank you 🩷

[@StateofKait]

Not weird at all! I was nervous to share my diagnosis, but I think it’s important to show people that autism look different in everyone.

[@marrykozakura9352]

Girl, I feel you! I'm autistic as well but I'm a very social person and my work requires a lot of interaction and social skills. I prefer not to share my diagnosis with acquaintances and people i don't know very well because it's always "Yeah, you don't really look autistic." What does an autistic person look like ? Lol Also, love your "The wind rises"-ish profile picture

[@b.b.8955]

I also had issues getting my items from Ulta. They sent out my order in three different packages and several items were straight up missing-like $60 worth of product. My order prior had broken products. I haven’t had issues with contacting CS, and getting the issues settled, but whoever is in charge of doing quality control needs a lot of work.

[@Lighthouse1852]

Ulta! So I'm not the only one! I planned my 21 Days purchases so carefully and passed up on offers elsewhere... but couldn't make things go into the shopping cart. One time I did, but then they wouldn't transfer to the checkout page. I tried 3 different browsers, two devices. I called in because email would be too slow. The one customer service rep told me I wasn't the only one, but she had no solutions to offer. The problem has continued for months. I'm so glad it's not just a matter of my technological backwardness.

[@StateofKait]

It’s wild how widespread the issue is

[@alice_rabbit8345]

I’ll have to check out your Vanilla fragrance video!

[@sarahpalmer5373]

I had an Ulta credit card for years. I finally had to cancel it because, for some reason, I seemed to have 2 accounts and so the points were not applied correctly and when they had specials for the top spending customers they would not work for me. I too found items arrived broken or damaged - such as bath salts leaking out of the package or toner bottles smushed. So you are not alone.
