You are so good at this!

Seems legit.

I love how you leave the product image on screen the whole time you talk about it!!

[@catetanenbaum2418]

I know, ppl are weirdly parsimonious about B roll and images

[@rebeccaneely5752]

I was so close to buying one of the Dior sparkly liquid lipsticks. But I don't wear liquid lipstick that much. So, I decided I could just wear a lipstick I already have with a sparkly gloss on top, instead.

[@Alberto-wu1mj]

I went through the same process.

[@EnvyBlu]

I wholeheartedly agree with you about advent calendars. Those things are soooo ridiculous! I would NEVER buy one…they’re filled with ridiculous samples. They’re such a rip off

[@herminegranger456]

Thank you for bringing back your "You don't need that!-series" I really needed that!

[@jenp.6735]

I love this series. Lots I don’t need. The less I spend on makeup the more there is in the travel budget. 😁

[@danisbookshelf3167]

I will forever adore this series! Also, I absolutely refuse to declutter my old Nars and Tarte blush palettes because I pull them out every time I'm tempted to get a new blush palette, and then I slowly put my wallet away because I just don't use them enough to make sense. It works every time!

[@EXOmakemeHorololo]

I also keep older palettes from Nars, Tarte and Too Faced... They last ages and the quality is unchanged. I have also noticed I often like the older color stories and options better than new palettes coming out

[@danisbookshelf3167]

@@EXOmakemeHorololo Truly, once you have one, you will practically never need another 😂 And I held out on getting mine for a long time because so many of these palettes only have a couple of colors I'll wear.

[@natnguyen4052]

great idea!!!!

[@laurenceapitz1678]

I do this with the hourglass holiday ones, I have two and never use them

[@sarahwill5562]

I absolutely adore this series. Makes me laugh everytime. ❤ xxx

[@Thistastesbad]

I haven't hit pan on any of my Nars Cheek palettes, but I did use up an entire Hourglass Holiday cheek palette! (The one with the ugly see thru packaging from 2019 I think it was?) The only Advent Calendar I buy now, is one for my dog :) The joy on her face every morning with her treat just makes me so happy!

[@MKgoob710]

Which one do you get? I was disappointed in the Bark one from Costco last year.

[@cathydavis8212]

Let me tell you why I both agree with you, and still buy advent calendars, why they're worth my hard earned money. After traveling 3,000 miles to spend the holidays with family for 30 years, I now happily celebrate at home, with my dog. I decorate, put the tree up, play the schmaltzy music, and put my presents, mostly from myself, under the tree. The advent calendars are my luxury splurge....which is the definition of luxury, isn't it? They bring me joy. And since I always buy the rest of my beauty products on sale, it's self financing!

[@holliberry2614]

Saving my money for the Lisa Eldridge holiday collection.......

[@LouisaDD]

Any ideas on what she’s launching? I’m saving too!🎉

[@Litha_Light]

We need videos like these to keep us sane during this time of year (given all the holiday gift sets and freaken black Friday deals coming along😖). Thank you 😂

[@LisaF_]

Wise, wise words!!! For me, I put things I’d like to buy on a list where they must sit for at least a week or two. (I put some things on the list for months) Sometimes after just doing that, the feeling fades and you can’t even remember why you were so crazy about an item anyway! I do this for limited edition things, too. If it sells out in the meantime, it wasn’t meant to be. I refuse to panic buy items. I tend to end up regretting panic bought/impulse bought items way more than things I’ve really thought through. Most of the time, I end up realizing I didn’t really need it or I won’t really use it. I got caught up in the pretty shades or packaging. You nailed it: There is always something else exciting around the corner!

[@lindajosefsson1686]

The perfect video for me because I’m drowning in makeup. Thank you! ❤

[@reneegrace7965]

Me too! We can do this!!

[@bevyoung2009]

I understand that you buy makeup because that is your job. I appreciate all your videos.

[@loriz3916]

I already gave in on some of these (Hourglass palettes and ND I Need a Warm --- which is not aptly named because I did not, but it is great quality). I have been awaiting your next "you don't need that" video because you're the voice of reason that I need sometimes 😂

[@isabelw.5666]

What you said about the advent calendars is the simple truth! Even SpaceNK, which has amazing products in it, has sooo much stuff you wouldn't buy. I pick the stuff I am really excited about out of a calendar and sum up how much it would cost me buying these items directly. And honestly: I have found most holy grails already! And even the really good picks cost less than the calendar. And then you get the full size and correct colour you want them in. 😅

[@MsBNoodle]

We so need this! Holiday products are coming out of our ears 😂

[@simsiili5534]

Yes, that in fact is the exact gesture my cats do if I even think about baubles. 😸

[@Raniasmakeupaddiction]

“ Probably not, because I don’t want to leave my house” that totally resonated with me 😂

[@midlifemom5829]

No FOMO here. None fit my preferences or my 55yo mature, combo/oily, tan skin. Thank u for keeping it real!

[@gypsybelle637]

You nailed it. I've been trying to be more mindful of my makeup purchases. If I think about it for a, even a little while, I realize I do have something that I enjoy , like this in my drawers. But , it is so tempting. Good job , lady!👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💕👍🏼

[@rachelwhite581]

YESSSS!!! Im obsessed with this series. So charming and so realistic. It’s such a good reminder to keep myself in check

[@berlineczka]

As for the sparkly lipstick: you can just tap in some sparkly eyeshadow or highlighter onto your lips over a cream/vinyl lipstick for identical effect. You don't need to buy anything to get a look that you wear twice a year. Use what you already have & be creative.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I really needed the voice of reason. Thank you Charlotte. Eye and cheek labels on palettes allow for more pigments that have been designated as “not safe for eyes”.

[@mlpnorthsub8543]

You are a riot, but past the laughs, the truths shall RULE! I am a sucker for a great eye shadow palette, oh, and a fabulous blush.... lip products too .... THANK YOU for the intervention. It SNAPPED ME BACK TO REALITY. If I checked my beauty back ups and supplies, I could most likely open a mini Sephora myself! NO NEED FOR ANYTHING ELSE.... right now. THANK YOU.

[@bevyoung2009]

I have my Hourglass pallets. I have 1 liquid blush from HG. I also have so many benefits blushes, bareminerals blushes. I don't need another blush.

[@katherinekelly9689]

Hi Charlotte, I love these “ YOU DO NOT NEED THAT” video, I appreciate your honesty on products, I love it when you are sassy, you make me smile,thank you so much. Love Katherine xoxo

[@reneegrace7965]

Thank you for this Charlotte! I have that Gucci Highlighter in my Nordy basket as we speak I DON"T NEED IT

I appreciate this series more than you know! I need to watch one of these once a week!!! I’m very guilty of being easily influenced. You look beautiful today ❤

[@katherineseymour6239]

I appreciate you Charlotte. I tell people day after day to save your money, stop buying things you don’t need and here I am, as always, ready for you to tell me I don’t need that. 💕😊

[@MiriamRoquiz]

Hello Charlotte, my bane are my mature under-eye areas and I’m forever looking for concealer and cream to minimize the lines and wrinkles. This is where Westman Atelier’s concealer recently purchased comes in. It is the BEST that works for me! I agree it is pricey but I used my Sephora points to save $10. And YES, one should go to a store to swatch the samples! I am always Neutral but with this product, L4/ Light Peach worked for me! Thanks for your humor and blunt honesty! I always look forward to your videos!

[@CCKittyKat931]

Thank you❤I am hoping she comes out with a mothership 😊waiting till then😊

[@cindywharton5558]

I love this series, helps me realise that I already have similar items ❤

[@bangtanfan8465]

Charlotte, I had such a giggle watching you in this video 😂 you’re really great at these, and it’s definitely a public service broadcast! You’re the KZbin friend we all need ❤

[@ellenkass9410]

Shopping my makeup stash now. 💄

[@butshetalksalot1804]

I always get so excited when I see these videos pop up! In regards to the WA concealer, the lipstick lesbians were comparing it to the Sarah Creal concealer. I can’t wait for some of the Sarah Creal products to pop up in reviews. They look lovely.

[@emilykinsler9765]

Kackie recently did a review of Sarah Creal

[@enelind]

I loooove this video! Made me rethink my makeup wishlist. Also, you are very entertaining - made me laugh a lot - much appreciated 💕

[@lyra2282]

I love these videos from you Charlotte. I'm on a very low buy currently, so this is very timely. I love your sense of humour, but even more than that, I love that you are so well informed about makeup, so understanding and non-judgmental. I think for many of us, people in our everyday lives can say things like "omg why do you need that" or "what's so special about that" or a myriad other things that will only make us feel judged and defensive. But you know makeup so well, so when you say "you don't need that, it's not that special", it comes from a very well informed place and is very hard to argue with :)

[@annhall2331]

OK you talked me out of the Hourglass pallete I was very close but yes last years is in my drawer and iv used it twice!! But to late ND I need a warm is already looking new and sparkly in my drawer 😂😂😂❤

[@utboca9999]

Charlotte, you kill me. You are the best and have us all laughing saving $ in the process.

[@Rachel-ws8bc]

I swatched the new Charlotte Tilbury Beautyverse palette in Sephora yesterday. I wasn't as impressed when I saw it in person. I'm definitely going to wait for a sale. However, the Smokey Quartz pop shot single I'm definitely getting!

[@ellenkass9410]

Love the Smoky Quartz 🤎

[@julievovchenko5355]

Thank you SO MUCH for these videos. It is so hard to hold ourselves from buying more makeup we already have :)

[@Ricalitch]

You always make me laugh the most in this series. I actually do need a highlighter, and I think I'm splurging for the Gucci one during the sale. It looked glorious!

[@kimalexander362]

Ok now after getting past that beautiful top that you are wearing let me say that I think you were speaking directly to me in this video. I needed to hear all of this in the worst way. My husband would thank you right now if he would watch this because he says I am out of control with every release!

[@lovefilles]

Love these You do not need that videos! Wait for something better at the corner.... yes Lisa Eldridge! As for ND, I Need a Warm is already in my pantry and I LOVE IT! The colour scheme is unic as it is neutral and warm peachy , but no orange tones, so pretty! I did resist the new Hourglass palette and it is a bit hard I admit.

[@gengrainger2953]

Tell us about that top because the colour!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@EnvyBlu]

I know that’s the first thing I noticed! I LOVE that chocolaty mauvy color

[@AC-ux3fv]

Charlotte darling! Yet another fantastic video, thank you for your honest opinion and your sense of humor....I totally love your personality. As for these product you are showcasing today. I will not purchase simply because I do not wear a lot of makeup, however, I like to know what is new in the marketplace. Anyway, thank you so much darling!💋❤

[@bge3328]

I'm so excited to see you bring back this series. I love it and I've really missed it.

[@emilyb3394]

So glad you are doing this again

[@vickygrills4228]

I totally agree with what your saying about advent calendars, I prefer to purchase the hourglass holiday palette that I use everyday during the year!

[@lyndariley9076]

Thank you and I am good to pass on all of them. The majority of all lux beauty has been easy for me to pass on this year. I have been very disappointed with Chanel.

[@lalacarroll431]

Charlotte, YES, thank you so much for bringing back “you don’t need that series” I love it! I understand that it’s your job to review new products but I’m sorry you have wasted your money on some products that are so expensive. I really appreciate all of your videos! You’re so right about every single product you talked about. I looked around like oh Charlotte is talking about me hahaha! I’ve been wanting the new Patrick Ta foundation, the WA concealer, the Natasha Denona I need a warm palette, the Gucci highlighter and the Hourglass face palettes! I have purchased one pretty much every year but I have so many I’m not going to buy it or think about it anymore. I love that you tell us if you already have this product you don’t need to rush and buy the new! I get FOMO every time I watch a new makeup video! I’ve had really great self control this year, kinda lol 😂 I really like how you keep the product picture up while you’re talking about each thing. When you said….There is always something else exciting around the corner ❤ ahhhh just loved that! You’re so lovely, funny, talented, beautiful and you’re always so honest!! Holiday is tough to get through and everything is so pretty and sparkly. We don’t pay full price for permanent products, we wait for a sale and have a cooling off period! I found this so helpful! You’re the best! ☺️

I really love the commentary on the advent calendars. I didn’t really think of it like that. I don’t buy them, but definitely wont now. ❤

[@jayejoseph]

You are so on point with the WA concealer. I went to the store and swatched and worked with an SA. The color that worked was nothing close to what I would have picked. It’s great, but not a blond buy for sure.

[@coletteHawk]

I love how you put these ridiculous advent calendars into perspective. Perfectly done!

[@RebeccaMaria77]

Another fab video Charlotte! ❤ You mentioned the Nars Light Reflecting Foundation, which I’ve loved since it came out. However, the recent bottles of it I’ve bought are definitely different, thinner, more watery, lighter coverage. It even smells different. Have you tried it recently? I hate it when brands change the formula of popular products!!! Thank you so much for always making me smile. 😊

[@anniej.4539]

I have the GUCCI highlighter in the champagne shade for a special event and I think it’s beautiful. It’s a little bit of a sparkle and I also think it will last forever because one dip goes a long way for me due to the texture. If you don’t want a beaming metallic highlight, this one is great. If you already have any hourglass highlighter , these are very similar but if you like the shades and you don’t already have the shade , and you have the money, these are beautiful and demure 😊

[@eimearinez]

Your hair is what I noticed looks so smooth and thick n great condition sorry I didn’t notice your highlighter 🫣

The By Terry highlighter I’d buy, 90 percent of the reason I buy something is because of the packaging. I’m a collector, most of the makeup I have, I prob haven’t used. It’s my form of hunting. 😅 Instead of a sad animal stuffed I have a pretty decoration to cover the shelves.

[@bevyoung2009]

[@jkulikova]

Great video! I agree with almost everything and follow a similar approach to buying my beauty products. I somewhat disagree about advent calendars. Many of them aren’t worth it, I agree. I calculated, and I’m sure it doesn’t make any financial sense to buy single-brand ones, even if you’re a fan of the brand: those give you about 20% (rarely more) discount for those products that you’d buy, but you’re paying also for samples that normally you’d get free if you were to buy actual full size products for that amount of money. But when it comes to multi-brand calendars, some of those expensive ones include 15+ full sized products and then some travel products and yes, samples. The idea is to count only those products that you want to use and would have bought anyway, then add those that you want to try but wouldn’t buy a full size for that (and smaller sizes aren’t available). From that sum, subtract 10-20% (based on what discount you might get realistically if you purchase those products separately). If whatever you calculated covers the calendar price, it is worth buying because the rest is a pleasant GWP. Otherwise, it’s not worth spending money regardless of the beautiful packaging and promised “value.”

[@marianna6926]

Love this series. You are fantastic at putting things into perspective. Pet peeve. I am always puzzled, why are highlighters so big? Who uses that much highlight in their everyday life? I live in a warm climate with lots of sunlight. If I used glittery makeup when I go outside in the daytime, I would look like a disco ball. I love sparkly makeup so much but I just don’t see it as very practical. Especially the enormous quantity that highlighters come in.
