Best & Worst of Beauty: April '16

[@XanimesecretsX]

Cassie you make my favorite beauty videos. I could listen to you rave about dental floss.

[@dreav8444]

Yep, well said. Tell me about the growing of grass Cassie. You help my shitty days so much.

[@shalesmarie5686]

agreeeeeed

[@Bronte-lv2dz]

I hope this isn't weird to you but you really do inspire me in so many ways! Of the 60+ famous/non-famous KZbinrs I follow on here, you are seemingly the only one that genuinely has the best attitude and the most down to earth! You really are so beautiful too. :)

[@shalesmarie5686]

agreed

[@ErinJayne82]

Yes, she and BeautyBroadcast are so positive all the time, they're my favorite.

[@kristiblankenship3033]

i follow a lot of youtubers. you and cristine from simply nailogical are the only youtubers i find myself consistently rewatching all of your videos over and over. i get off work and I'm tired and ready to unwind, and i think you're so relatable and i adore you

[@lauralawyerapeaceofmindcou2277]

As a psychotherapist, I appreciate the way you are so genuine and positive in your videos! I love your humor and dedication as a fabulous female. Your refreshing "active ignoring" of the few bad apples & their negative spews (older videos) has been refreshing! Keep your positive focus & on tough days, remember all of your loyal followers that love and appreciate what you do! Love ya! Laura

[@annablackburnglenn]

You are the freaking best. Hands down the only human I trust for makeup! Also hilarious.

[@mochi-xo1fd]

Had such an awful day, and still have a bunch of work to do, but gosh binge watching a lot of your videos makes me so happy. There is just something so calming about them.

[@WhiteRabbit1209]

you have to try the Working Hands from the same maker of the foot cream. I have extremely dry skin, it's the only thing I use on my hands. plus, it's unscented!!

[@WhiteRabbit1209]

it comes in the same container but it's green :-)

[@oliviad3326]

CASSIE PLS LISTEN. try that highlight with a damp sponge! I did that today with that exact highlight and its been strong on my oily skin for 10 hours.

[@matte.glitter]

Cassie, your hair. your necklace. your shirt. your nail polish. your eyes. this look is just so stunning!

[@thriftthick]

+naomii75 haha oh gosh well thank you!!! I'm glad I was lookin' good in this video ;D

[@jesseedwards6534]

I always watch your videos when I do my makeup, your voice is just so fun to listen to lol

[@saraizamora9254]

Cassie my goodness, something about you just ALWAYS puts me in a good mood. ALWAYS!!! I love you!!!!!

[@beths2830]

The potent fragrance in Pixi glow tonic should not be feared! It is the natural smell of witch hazel - a plant used medicinally for generations to sooth sensitive skin

[@nikkij3062]

+Beth Skidmore agree...sounded like there was fragrance added which there is not

[@luneteams]

Can you do a swatch video of the MUG eyeshadows? I'd love to know the colors you got

[@lorymarques3628]

I love watching your videos. Your honest, fun to watch, beautiful. What I like most is your honesty and you seem just like a normal regular person like most of us out there. Not super glam. Your house looks normal no fancy background and your fun to watch.

[@SuperKatiebear123]

Cassie ! I'm so obsessed! You're channel is so genuine & your viewers appreciate it. Love you!

[@thriftthick]

+Katlyn Pumphrey haha aw thank you!! I'm so happy to hear that, it really makes my day ^_^

[@springbean1375]

I just wanna say, it's amazing to see a makeup youtuber that's so down to earth! You have flaws so it's so easy to trust you ;A; Also it's super inspiring when i hear you talk about your anxiety and such, I'm on the same boat and it makes me feel a lot better about my own issues knowing someone else is going through the same thing. (also yay art majors!!)

[@thriftthick]

+Spring Bean aw thank you...... seriously, I'm so happy to hear you find my videos both relatable and enjoyable T^T We can stay strong together girl! Just one day at a time

[@springbean1375]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ we got this!!! most days...hehe ((also one thank you so much for the response aaaaaa))

[@cdavila411]

I have that Fergie highlighter and the Hollywood Blvd one... and I DEFINITELY prefer the Hollywood blvd, it's smoother and more pigmented

[@raisha_albino29]

Cassie, you should make a separate review videos for the makeup geek shadows! You seem to really like them, and since they are affordable and look so pretty! You should include your eyeshadow color recommendation from everyday neutral eyes to special occasion! Please include swatches as well! Thank you!

[@ShyPanda88]

You are one of my absolute favorite beauty gurus. :) I have very oily skin and run into a lot of problems you have with foundation. It's nice that you are so relateable and what I'd call a 'breath of fresh air' in the beauty community here on youtube.

[@bethknapp5838]

Makeup Geek!! *All of the angels singing* you need shimma shimma and magic act.Brow highlight or center of the eye over your lid color, OMG!! And all of the shadows play and layer well with others from different palettes, LOVE LOVE LOVE them!!! xoxoxoxo

[@hauntedbarbiedoll]

ive watched a bunch of your videos now and you have got to be the most unbiased, neutral make up reviewer ever. i dont see many makeup reviewers who ever say both the good and the bad in most products, or qualify your personal experience as something that may not happen to everyone because you have (X Predisposition) and others may not.

[@bephoebe]

Yes! MUG shadows so deserve the top spot. I just spent an hour sorting mine by color and finish. Love them!!! I haven't tried the blush, but I have SO MANY BLUSHES - kwim? I also haven't tried the eye pencils yet. Nothing stays in my waterline either - I am always on a quest. I think my tears are actually waterproof makeup remover, and my spit is liquid lipstick remover. Nothing lasts on me! ugh Thanks for another great video.I really enjoy watching your reviews and vlogs.

[@rosejustice]

I have really been enjoying your channel and reviews. Thanks for being real and not overly produced.

[@bekkiebomb1059]

Oh Cassie, somehow I managed to watch KZbin beauty guru's for years, and then I stumbled on you... And I don't think I have ever spent as much on makeup as I have in my last 6 monthes of watching (and rewatching lol) your videos. I know I can always trust your reviews, and they helped get my makeup game on point! Thanks for being you!

[@AmandaStubs]

I'm honestly so proud of you like.. You've grown so much since you started this channel and I'm in awe watching you and learning with you. I'm glad I got to be here to see you pass that 100k mark:)

[@cristalena56]

mug shadows are my favorite!!!!!!! ive been using them for over a year and they are amazing. I might try out other shadows but I always come back to these.

[@erinbates1]

I'm so happy that you have over 100k! You're so down to earth and lovely and you deserve all the subscribers in the world!! Loved this video as always Cassie! Looking forward to what's to come from you in the future!! :)

[@Prisaboohoo]

Cassie!! I love watching your videos I've tried watching other youtubers but i just keep gravitating to yours :') Your personality and genuine-ness is just the best! Also, for some insane-yet-awesome reason, I seem to relate so well to your favourites! I too tried out MUG's shadows (in the past month or so) and they're UNREAL. Sending you so much positive energy/ happiness and all good vibes to you!!

[@hilaryh110]

I recently bought makeup geek shadows as well; I had a really fun time trying to make my palette. I'm eager to find out which shadows you chose! Glad you liked your purchase and that they gave you some freebies as well!

[@lovewillconquer]

You are A1 for reviewing foot cream. Nobody reviews foot cream!!! YAY!

[@emilygallia]

I think this is the video that will finally get me to take the plunge into Makeup Geek. I've wanted to for a while but watching your passionate review has me convinced!!

[@amyjohndro2065]

just bought my first batch (12) of Makeup Geek shadows and absolutely love them. Palettes often have the same colors over and over. Being able to pick your colors is awesome. Not to mention...affordable.

[@jessicajancetic9648]

My bday is in June too. You look so much younger than 26! So glad to see your subscriber count keeps going up, you deserve it !! 💙

[@pantaleimona]

You're one of our new faves, Cassie. :) Thank you for your sunshine spirit and all the great beauty product info!!

[@joy-jo4vl]

Cassie, it's so nice to see how big your channel is getting :) with more subscribers often comes more negativity, but you've been so graceful and beaming throughout the growth. I absolutely love your channel and can't wait to see where May takes you :) you have so many people who love you!

[@ermrodgers]

Cassie. Look. I love you. 99% of your followers love you. There are always going to be haters. There are always going to be people who think they are way better than everyone else, that think they are above criticism and can make fun of people or criticize them or even go so far as to make fun of them, and they will always exist. Hell, they even have their own website where they think they are just "being real" when in fact they are just "being mean" You however, need to step above them and forget they exist. Stop mentioning them and giving them the acknowledgement they want and thrive on. You do you, because you are good enough, and over 100,000 people agree with me. You are awesome. Your videos are real, you are real. you have real problems, and just tell it like it is. Don't let those people that thrive on drama get to you. You are better than them, and they don't deserve your time and energy. Love you!!!

[@kayleefife4132]

I was going to start my homework but....Cassie uploaded a 25 minute video...I can do my homework later 😆😘

[@thriftthick]

+Kaylee Fife girrrrrrrrrrl get your homework done!!! XD

[@hannah3041]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) watching your video when i should be studying for my econ final hahaha oops ily cassie!

[@lc1371]

Your brows are in point!! Also, I love the pyramid. You keep it different from the norm :)

[@lindseywood3425]

You're the only you tuber I can binge watch over and over again

[@dodysdigits]

My friend bought the same foot cream for me two weeks ago. For me it worked wonders on a painful crack on my heel. I thought that in order for it to help, I would have to exfoliate my heel first. Since I did not have time I thought it would not hurt to go ahead and put it on until I got around to exfoliation. Wow, my heel felt better the next morning so I continued to use it before I put on socks, after bathing, and at bedtime. I don't have to do any exfoliation on my feet because they look so good. This is my holy grail product now too. So cool you discovered this product around the same time as me. Big fan of your channel! Thanks for honest reviews and being so relatable!

[@yaqichannie]

The W&W Fergie highlighter that's hyped up is actually in the shade "Hollywood Boulevard" and it's much more pigmented and reflective than the rose champagne one you have. I think you would like the Hollywood Boulevard one! And I'm so glad you mentioned the Pixi Glow Tonic- I had been wanting to get it but hadn't heard anything about the smell either!

[@ilinasandler1013]

I have noticed that your eyeshadow has been looking especially nice in the last few videos! It's making me want that brush...

[@meshamybelle]

That eyeliner shade is gorgeous! I'm going to have to have it now-lol! I'm so excited for you and how your channel has grown this past year. You deserve it!

[@crushlucas]

Ok! I died when you mentioned O'Keefe's foot cream because they make the BEST hand cream!! It literally makes your hands baby soft for days. I'm literally obsessed and I had no idea this existed so... this will be happening.

[@beautifullivingblog]

I literally look forward to these videos at the end of every month. Have a great May! :)

[@Cr84life]

This is my first time commenting on one of your videos. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your channel!! Thank you for sharing all of your time with testing products. I thoroughly enjoy every one!! Love your honesty!!

[@fayebuxom3054]

Yay! Congrats on hitting 100k! 😊 Also, O'Keeffe's does make that foot cream in a squeeze tube! I've seen them at Walmart, and I've actually been thinking about trying it when my current foot lotion runs out.

[@laurelrosegardens6454]

Bless your heart. I came home from a terrible day at work (10 hours straight of retail) and was treated to 24 minutes of Cassie. Thank you for making me laugh!

[@izulush]

makeup geek eyeshadows are phenomenal! especially their foiled ones! Love your videos so much!

[@beautiffulyou228]

Hollywood Blvd highlighter from the fergie centerstage collection is bomb!

[@mallorywang5568]

I never thought I'd say this, but you got me excited about a foot cream.

[@twistedkitty1958]

Love the Best & Worst of Beauty....and how passionate you are!!!

[@thriftthick]

+Nancy Murphy aw thank you Nancy! I'm so happy to hear you enjoy these videos of mine

[@pattiNBerkeley]

Cassie, you look amazing!!! I don't know what you're doing, but whatever it is, it's working. I just wanted to thank you for your videos. The quality is really great, the content is interesting, and I enjoy watching them so much. Keep on being you!

[@newlife8610]

I love your videos and you're the first person I look for when I open my laptop. Thank you for just being you and yes, I'm going to have to buy a few of those shadows and give them a try. Have a great day Cassie!!

[@sakoviathompson663]

Hey Cass! Thanks for the upload! How's the fitness journey coming along? During the vloggy bits in your videos I alway see great food dishes that also look soo healthy! Could you update us on your health journey and share your recipes with all of us pleaseee? Love you Cassie😛❤️

[@thriftthick]

+Sakovia Thompson hello and you're welcome!! The fitness journey is great; I'm constantly improving my weights, endurance, and times so I'm feeling good! My next video is a 'what I eat in a day' video so you'll be getting an update and recipes very soon ;)

[@sakoviathompson663]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) Yay, I love to hear that you're seeing your desired results! I'll definitely be on the look out for the new video!!❤️

[@thriftthick]

Sakovia Thompson yeah, I'm feeling pretty darn good!! Thank you for the encouragement and support on that ^_^

[@sakoviathompson663]

+Thrift Thick (Cassie) No problem Cassie! We're always here for you!🤗😇

[@AshleySmith-cz7ko]

I always know I can trust your reviews. I'm definitely so excited to hear about the makeup geek products from your perspective. I'm gonna buy the eye liners asap. Your videos are always grade A, you're so real, I feel like you live down my street! Keep making such good content :-D

[@LuzmarieG]

Love the pyramid idea! So neat and unique! I'm new to eyeshadows since I can't ever get them right or they just never really make my eyes pop but I'm curious about Makeup Geek now!

[@TeresaVu]

your makeup looks so good in this vid!

[@Beautyjoy98]

I ordered a ton, 79 to be exact of makeup geek shadows in the month of April. It was my first time trying them and I'm hooked. I'm a full blown addict for them. They are my favorite and I have many, many pallettes in the high end range. I so want to try the pencils but I just can't afford them yet but I'm also trying to talk myself out of them cause I have a ton of eyeliner and I don't need these ones but theres a huge piece that says "yes you do Ellen". ♡♡ makeup problems for a makeup addict... Thanks for the video! love watching you, I hope you make videos forever!! Have a great day Girl!!!♡♡♡♡♡☆☆☆

[@kateremerson]

I need to try that brush! My eyes are super watery too. It drives me crazy. that shade of purple looks really nice on you!

[@jadesmith7275]

Saved this video for a day when I was feeling down and it was so worth it! Made my period blues go away! ❤️❤️❤️

[@ellied7461]

I do truly love MUG. Glad to see another fan. The only shadow I use that is softer, easier to blend etc is Viseart. Absolutely beautiful but soooo expensive. I'm craving their new "ribbons" palette but it is not in the budget.

[@sarahb3234]

Wet n wild re-leased those highlighters! It's not under the fergie name anymore. You should try the other shade called "boozy brunch" it's more pigmented and a better tone. I'm pretty sure I got the new ones at cvs

[@sarahb3234]

Re-released*

[@marieliscuello5639]

That Z palette is bae!! 😍 I'm so glad you reviewed the makeup geek shadows. I've been meaning to hit those up. Now, thanks to you, I definitely will.

[@wendybee8854]

Cassie, I've been following you for quite a while now. I am so happy for you. I see you getting more and more subs and free products for review. I think you are one of the best! Congratulations~ Wendy

[@mascarakneepads9975]

PLEASE do a full collection and swatches of the makeup geek eyeshadows!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@shabbygirl8362]

Wetnwild has reformulated and rereleased some of the Fergie items....the one that is yellowy and pink is so smooth and gorgeous. It is said to be a dupe for the becca Champagne Pop!

[@LesleyCanterbury22]

yes, it is. I gave a pic on my instagram. they are almost exactly the same.

[@samanthastearsman7792]

The O'Keeffe's foot cream comes in a squeeze tube now! And the cap is a click to close instead of a screw cap. Their products are the best for sensitive skin

[@annagracerogers]

for the wet n wild highlight try scraping it to loosen the powder and wetting your brush with fix+ first.

[@DreaCN]

Yay! Pizza and the Best and Worst Of Beauty! The best way to spend my lunch break! Seriously my fave!

[@suzanneessed8873]

I was just contemplating buying some MUG shadows, your video is definitely a sign to go ahead! I haven't been a subscriber for very long, but I feel like you're one of the few people on KZbin who can be trusted.

[@thriftthick]

+Suzanne Essed d'aww shucks Suzanne, thank you so much!! I'm so happy to have you here as a part of my channel and I'm glad you've been finding my videos both helpful and trustworthy ^_^

[@kika32588]

hi hope you're doing great! I have curly fine hair. but I use tresemme runway collection max the volume root lifting cream. and it holds my style the whole day and leaves my hair soft and my curls have that loose curl look

[@beautybulletin6671]

+Karenia Brand thanks for that recc. I need something just like that.

[@kika32588]

+Beauty Bulletin You're welcome!😊

[@-kayg5174]

I love these, and back up to watch the ones I've not seen, but 4 ads in 1 video? Come on! That's a real deterrent :(

[@littlet4494]

Thift Thick, you NEED to try DryBar Triple Sec. For fine hair, i feel your pain. This stuff will add volume like a boss and is super fine mist, won't weigh your hair down.

[@littlet4494]

+Tonya Oakheart Also, I love your channel. :)

[@sunfishoutofwater]

I know it was intended for Cassie, but thanks for the recommendation nonetheless:). I too have super fine hair & have almost purchased the Triple Sec several times now - during the last two VIB sales - but haven't taken the plunge as it is just quite pricey to not know how it will perform. I'll definitely give it a go though now. Thanks!!

[@littlet4494]

sunfishoutofwater You're going to freaking love it. I switch back and forth between it and salt spray. The Triple sec is less heavy feeling and doesnt feel greasy after a long day;

[@cassieszczepanski3884]

Honestly watching your videos has motivated me to floss more and use more moisturizers especially on my feet so thank you 😸

[@pamelannely]

You've brightened up my dreary, dank, Sunday here in NJ...thank you!! 😊

[@brittanyw1817]

I splurged and bought sooooo many makeup geek shadows and I absolutely love them. The Manny mua palette I love the shades.

[@ErinJayne82]

Every tarte lipstick crayon thing that I've purchased has done that! I'm done with those, way too expensive for that crap.

[@pagespurls]

Good to know that the shadows are as good as people say! I bought a couple of the blushes and they're not my favorite either. They fade after a few hours on me, so I was scared the shadows might too. But now it seems like I need them!

[@jcelle2954]

I've been on the fence about buying Makeup Geek shadows, but now I'll be making an order tonight! Always trust your opinions to be truthful!

[@ginaspencer6842]

Hi Cassie..just wanted to let you know your videos are the only ones I watch from start to finish ❤❤

[@shelly725]

Congrats on 100k+ subscribers. You deserve it. I absolutely love your channel.

[@mantra4ia]

I liked this video the most out of all your pyramids, I don't know why, but it is particularly good. Maybe it's the sound effects. Your *pwoosh* for the real techniques brush and your *meeek* that sounded like an excited baby falcon going in for the makeup kill on those makeupgeek pencils just causes me to smile.

[@ORedintheHood]

The WNW highlight is perfect with the bb or cc cream mixed up with some blush....ahhh luminaries naturalness.

[@steampunkdreams3707]

Makeup Geek shadows are by far my favorite and I own 20 + palettes alone! But on a whim I tried them, and now I have around 30 (because I bought the latest set of 9 mattes and 9 shimmers) and I absolutely love them all.

[@bidinosaur]

I hopped on the Makeup Geek bandwagon a bit late too, but I have sense collected all but a few discontinued colors from the beginning. OMG they are LIFE. I just bought the newest release and LOVE LOVE that Marlena made a shift to some cooler colors. Tuscan Sun is everything I could have ever hoped for. I just bought one eyeliner to test out and I will be picking up the rest with my next order. The only thing I have not bought were her new duo chrome pigments and Sparklers. I really want to buy them, but I need a sifter in my jars. I haven't heard an update to the fix except not to store the jars with a sifter inside, which defeats the purpose all together. But...holding out for a fix.

[@juliaohlgren7307]

"you will be an absolutely happy camper singing Kumbaya" :'D

[@Itsjane17]

Cassieee I found that when I use Nyx's matte setting spray on the brush that highlighters apply soo beautifully. I recommend that technique to you and who knows maybe you'll like that highlighter from wet'n'wild more!

[@thriftthick]

+Janelly Grullon thank you for the tip, I'll have to try that! :D

[@beingcrystal]

cassie, i love watching you. you are like a bundle of sunshine xo

[@soullessgoddesss]

Thank God for video notifications! I am so happy for you hitting over 100,000 subscribers!!! You're such a sweet and happy person and I feel like I know you 💕 I also might need to order some MG shadows and give into the hype..

[@thriftthick]

+kaylajeanette123 lol aw well thank you!! And yessss they are SO WORTH the hype that they get! Worst thing about them is trying to pick out colors haha they're all so pretty XD

[@NorseGirlReadings]

I love how honest this video is! So glad i found you!! Xx

[@mandyjones3170]

Everyone in my house uses that foot cream! The hand cream is amazing too!

[@kf7249]

Cassie!! I love your videos because they are so calming! Keep on being cool!

[@mossymaiden]

My taste lipstick did the same thing. I haven't bought anymore because it honestly was really upsetting for being my first tarte purchase.

[@mossymaiden]

*tarte

[@gracethemaze]

that sweater looks so good on you!! i feel the color compliments your eyes so beautifully... and that eye liner😱😍

[@pamcraig5215]

I love the MG shadows too. Good to know about the foot cream👍🏻

[@kaylavon-stein6176]

I'm so happy to see these videos because it gives me the ability to know if I should buy something or not. I trust your opinion so much because you're so real! Thanks for the work you put in! 😊

[@thriftthick]

+Kayla Von-stein aw yayyyyy Kayla thank YOU so much for the kind and encouraging words.... it's comments like yours that keeps me going and motivated here on KZbin ^_^

[@melwest6639]

Will you do a video going through your fav/most used make up geek shadows - I just succumbed to the hype too and bought just two to see if they were worth it! So far I like them so I might get more and you need to help me chose which ones 😉 x

[@Doktor0315]

I've recently become obsessed with MUG eyeshadows, and so far they are truly the best I've tried. I can't wait to get a collection going, because those shadows are amazing. Glad to hear they were at the top of the pyramid for April. :)

[@thriftthick]

+Doktor0315 yesssssss I'm so glad you love them too!! Seriously they're worth ALL of the hype they get... and thensome :D

[@Doktor0315]

Thrift Thick This is a trick I learned recently, but if you apply a thin layer of translucent powder on your lids after applying primer, and then apply your MUG shadows (or probably any shadow), they will go on SO smoothly and blend like a dream. I use the RCMA no color powder (it's very hard to get your hands on the stuff, it's always sold out on Beautylish), but you could probably try any translucent powder that's very soft and it would work. Anyway, hope you're having a wonderful Sunday Cassie! ^_^

[@brittanybouchez3490]

the lipsurgence packaging happened to me too and it wasn't event that old! I love tarte and the lipsurgence but I can't justify buying it for that price tag if they have faulty packaging. It really upsets me because I love the formula and i loved the color I had which was kind of similar to yours. I'm really happy to hear that you like the makeup geek liners! I've been trying to look for something similar to the stila ones for a while now because I've become obsess with them.
