[@alexashowandtell]

I just love watching your videos. Every month I make a point to see yours if I'm busy and have to narrow it down. It's fantastic. I wonder why you're not on the PR list yet

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

We’ve emailed them about getting on the list and got no response but rumor is that they are changing things with their PR right now so we figured we would try again soon

[@ThePippi420]

The St. Ives apricot scrub and stridex pads had us in a chokehold 😂😂😂😂😂

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

@@ThePippi420 yes it did!

[@citychic2001]

I love Wander mile high mascara too! So good!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

♥️

I got the wander palette a full size Benefit Roller Lash Mascara and two beautiful makeup brushes , the same lip balm i was super happy because i dont have a neutral eyeshadow palette lol! Thank you for sharing ladies!! ❤❤

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

🤣🤣

[@theresiavarro6089]

Love your hoodies ladies!😍 Great episode as always👌🏼

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Thank you!!

[@shannonh425]

I have fomo now I should have chosen that Verb hair mask . I chose the roller lash mascara instead. I didn’t even notice it was for fine to med hair .

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Roller lash is good too!

[@HeatherHunterJ]

What is up?!? Ok here to see what y’all got

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

♥️♥️

[@ThePrixee]

Both boxes are great!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Sooo great!

[@michellemcdaniel209]

Cruelty Free!!!! ❤❤

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

♥️

[@eileen96338]

I'm a 100% behind cruelty free.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

♥️

[@laurenblankenship5633]

Talking about overpriced lip glosses, Shannon the U Beauty Plasma Lip compound you got in your Beautylish Lucky Bag is valued at $68 (I looked it up for the one I received). Ridiculous prices these days 😂. Love y’all’s videos!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Yikes!! That’s crazy!!🤪

[@melissajohnsonhaight5036]

I got a few of those products too!! I actually ordered 18 add Ons lol 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤭 I couldn’t help myself! The glass skin cream is very nice and gel type. I got Wander and maneater palettes too Jen! The shimmers were so gorgeous!! I thought they were very pretty! I actually got golden garden eye cream Shannon because you got it and I really wanted to try it. I also prefer cruelty free but it’s not a deal breaker. I too love Byroe Shannon! Their lavender type blue hydrating serum is amazing!! I also don’t love masks in general, let alone clay. ❤

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

That's amazing! 18 add ons is insane but worth it!

[@stephaniesideways2269]

Adult beverage besties are fun to watch! Lmao

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

@@stephaniesideways2269 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤣

[@lisanicu2000]

Speaking of old acne products, I used Sea Breeze on a cotton pad for toner when I was a teenager. OMG did it burn 🔥. I never tried Stridex swipes,

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Oh man Sea Breeze was brutal!

[@ElizabethRas]

The only skincare I am willing to pay a pretty penny for is Korean Skincare. They are worth the price and not just overinflated western prices.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Some skin care is definitely way overpriced!

[@EricaHope1978]

The tanghulu is AMAZING!!! I hate trying new skincare stuff (my skin is soooo sensitive that everything breaks me out ... Oye 🤦🏼‍♀️), but I chose this because the other options - well, sucked... Lol .... I tried it and love it!!! No breakouts and honestly, it may be on the smaller side, but very little goes a long way!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Oooh good to know! Thank you!!

[@EricaHope1978]

You are most welcome .... 🙂

[@jennifercavazos8420]

Im not completely cruelty free...almost there. Im like Shannon, i might like it😂

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

[@donnadeniseeverhart]

Hi girls! ❤️ your channel. As of January 26th my Boxycharm has not come yet. I'm in central California, 250 away from the fires but when i track it they are using the fires as an excuse for why its late. I usually get it by the middle of the month. I got the boost coming too!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

We hope it gets there soon!! Stay safe!

[@plumdutchess]

The route the package takes might be effected by the fires. It's not just about the destination. They may have to use different distribution centers than normal, which causes the package to take longer.

[@jeannie2532]

Hi Besties. Love the hoodies! I’m so undecided on the Icon box for next month. I love Byroe products and they have a Byroe moisturizer in the Icon next month. Are you besties getting the Icon Box? Lauren’s skin is Situation’s wife from Jersey Shore. I think you both received get products this month.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

We are getting Icon next month. That Byroe cream is soooo gooood!

[@jeannie2532]

@@CalmandChaoticConnectionyou convinced me. I’ll be getting the Icon too. I love Byroe crossing my fingers it’s in both of our boxes.

[@samirutter6132]

Shannon are you talking about the seraphine fruit butter lip mask, I got that too in a box and love it

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

@@samirutter6132 yes that’s it!!

[@samirutter6132]

@CalmandChaoticConnection it's so good

[@samirutter6132]

I have that byroe celery serum and I love it but don't love the price tag😂 I loved both your boxes besties

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

That’s why we love getting it from Ipsy! 🤣 they were great boxes this month!

[@samirutter6132]

@CalmandChaoticConnection they definitely were

[@HeatherHunterJ]

Mac needs to go Cruelty Free and Benefit and Bobbi Brown and Makeup Forever 🎉

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Yes!!!

[@christinalaska]

BESTIES! I think both boxes were terrific. I would have been happy with either! I wonder if companies are not testing on animals, how will the companies know they’re safe unless they have humans willing to try unknown products 🤔

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Ipsy really did it right this month! I think at this point the world knows what ingredients are safe for humans and which aren’t. They test to see the performance of an item and I’m sure they could hire people to be test models but it’s cheaper to buy a rabbit than to pay a salary

[@tlarsen2008]

Hey Besties! WOW great boxes!! I got the Tarte palette too 😁 I have the other Maneater palette and I love the formula in it I've got a couple others but I don't like the formula in them though I just wanted to share that with ya 😁 I've used a few of the BYROE products and I love them too ❤ 😂 One of them being the Celery serum I loved it 😁 I would use it at night though with the BYROE toner in the purple bottle cause it's for night so I had me a whole night skin care routine and I used it faithfully and it worked great for me That's one thing I would definitely repurchase I've got some of their sample size products to but I ain't got around to them 😂 I got the MZ Skin serum too 😁 I couldn't pass a 100 and something serum up in my 30 something box 😂😂 I just hope I can use it cause I have oily skin 😬 😂 I got Benefit mascara and they picked the Lithe brushes and YC Collection duo eyeliners that's the 2 they chose 😁 Oh and I got the Ofra blush palette which I don't wear so I'll pass them along 😂 My choices were alright and I'm absolutely happy with box and everything and I agree with y'all they did have a good start to start the year with 😁 Starting the year with a palette for the beauty boost was great but it probably happen again for another 4 to 6 months every since the merg 3 years ago they've only had makeup mainly a palette like 3 times in a year well since I've been getting the beauty boost 😂 which 3 years ago 😂😂 and that show the spoilers on 😂 The Purlisse is a pretty shade I don't use no oil serum either That seems like it would just be greasy feeling 😂 Instead of soaking in 😂 So Anyhoo great boxes! Thanks for sharing ☺️💖

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Your box sounds great too! Good to know that this is a different eyeshadow formula for tarte!!! ♥️

[@momof7]

I used noxema pads and cream for my face.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Ooh we remember those too

[@LCx829]

I used to be cruelty free and sadly I got sucked into the hype of products. I want to go back to cruelty free and support brands that take a stance.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

You can get back to it! One product at a time!

[@ElizabethRas]

You can sell in china and still be cruelty free now.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

@@ElizabethRas good to know!!

[@nadialarsen-lindgren9862]

What is the name of the documentary you saw? I need to watch that!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Ooh it’s been a few years so we don’t remember the name but there’s plenty of them out there about animal testing in the beauty industry

[@conniehoffmann1508]

I thought the boxes were great!

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

They absolutely were!

[@hildafiallo84]

Whats the name of the documentary in netflix?

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

It’s been a few years and we don’t remember the name and can’t find it now but there are definitely plenty of them out there on other services

[@dianamcmaster1093]

I allows forget to check if they are peta approved but I don't buy a lot of make up anymore.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

It’s an easy thing to forget!

[@carlaparks6517]

I wish they were cruelty free.

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

Maybe one day

[@allysonstacy775]

I’m searching for channels that focus on cruelty free because I won’t buy anything that’s not

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

We definitely prefer and try not to purchase products that aren’t cruelty free! When they come in boxes though we already have it so there’s no sense in wasting it

[@allysonstacy775]

I agree. I was happy to find your channel

[@HonesTeaBeauTea]

Do you not like skincare because the murad overnight was a crazy good boost option. I dont like Tarte. They had better options. Byroe is excellent, wish I got it. I love my choices, dislike the ipsy pics per usual. The full size context lip balms were ALWAYS in glam bag and $3 add ons. Its a good brand though. They chose the noto serum for me. I dont like oils. The skin pads look exciting. Love face pads. Dont forget about Noxema if you are an 80s baby. I had the apricot scrub. I used to use noxema and realized one day it made no sense. I had dry skin, zero break outs. It hurt more than it helped. They gave me the seraphine primer too.. I don't like illuminating. Imo primer is the most important makeup product besides brows. Brows make or break a face. Eyebrow blindness is real. The tiktoks had me cracking up. I cant stand neutrals either. When I have lack of options I choose something specific for someone else for Bday/Christmas

[@CalmandChaoticConnection]

We online skincare but Murad isn’t a brand that either of us tend to love. I honestly don’t even remember seeing it as an option but I probably had Byroe blindness lol

[@terriepriest4789]

I'm on the fence, but I prefer non cruelty to animals.But I don't judge anybody regarding their choice
