YOU DON'T NEED THAT! Let Me Talk You Out of Buying It!

[@rachelwhite581]

I’m literally obsessed with the his series! These are my FAV videos on KZbin! Thank you for talking us all down from our temptations

[@rachelwhite581]

This*

[@laurie6755]

Me too!!!!!!

[@mariannab.5884]

Same here! My fave series!

[@zozel77]

Yes! We totally need this 👍

[@goldencarla]

SAME‼️‼️👍😁

[@dbbsharkey]

I am sure Pat Mcgrath has been kidnapped & she's giving out none of her secrets!! The kidnappers are forced to just re-arrange the packaging and sell them as her ideas 😂😉

[@RoseOfMadina]

Haha I love this!! 😂

[@PanteraBagiraLady]

This finally explains what’s up with PMG latest releases 😂

[@krislafferty1261]

Omg, LMAO!!

[@barbraluce5706]

I think you are on to something

[@BlingyBea]

😂😂

[@marina56]

Yes I fell for the Chanel corail blush. And yes, my face couldn’t tell the difference between my other coral blushes.

[@kellygarland63]

I think the desire to buy the latest and best has to do with our own insecurities and the promise of ‘perfection’. I’m someone who tends to stick with products that work, until they don’t. I also don’t collect for the sake of collecting an entire brands offerings. I also research and wait at least a month after a release for purchasing. I want to see how it works for others after the initial hype and ‘viral’ wave. Often that’s enough to take it off my list.

[@juliespitzer7005]

YES Charlotte save us money! LOVE this series! Almost bought the Chanel blushes until I saw the price here in the US. $72😮😮 No thank you Chanel…

[@allisonbb716]

Sea turtles might be delightful, but you are a joy. This video provides a public service! So great. Thank you.

[@thatstreaminbdoee.7985]

I'm on a low, low buy and I have taken my consumer debt from $6,800 to $1,500 - by the first pay week of March I will be debt free! ❤🎉 Thank you for keeping consumption down and ALWAYS making these "you do not need that!" videos 🥺❤️

[@mediumolive]

Once upon a time I purchased an eyeshadow trio and two singles from chantecaille and they were literally the worst eyeshadows I have ever owned. I’m traumatized by it and will never trust their eyeshadows again.

[@lizbakeslemons940]

same! Bought a couple singles a while ago and learned my lesson

[@AllisonMoon-SheWandersFeral]

Thank you!!! I keep believing Magic could happen

[@Archiiiiiiiiiiie]

Chantecaille isn’t that great in my opinion either and thank God! With the prices they’ve got going on.

[@AllyKit]

And their blushes are dry and dusty. Worst money I've ever spent.

[@alineonbeauty6294]

I like their face powder and bronzer. And the lip chics but they’re so pricey

[@EdieRhoads]

Doing a year long no buy since Black Friday. Finding myself building better relationships with the makeup I already have since I’m not always focused on what’s coming. Experimenting more, exploring techniques and trying corners of palettes I’ve always ignored. Your advice to wait a few weeks is key. I’m letting myself keep a wishlist but I notice that when I add to it the older items on the list have lost their allure. Makeup expires, separates, and becomes very expensive garbage. I’m enjoying trying to use things up!

[@AllyKit]

🙌 Good for you! I add to my wishlist then wait for the Sephora sale. It gives me a months-long cool down period. Right before the sale, I revisit my list and edit, edit, edit. If I see a beauty guru still using a product months later, then I know it's good and not just hype. (For instance Charlotte & her TF primer. I KNOW she really loves that!) That tells me more than words could say. Also if I want to feel inspired by my older makeup, I revisit a YT of it. (Say, an Hourglass palette) That brings me joy and I remember why fell in love with it . Happy shopping your stash! 💖

[@robinrickman5570]

I am trying to do this for eye shadow. I literally have more eye shadow palettes than I can use for the rest of my life and not hit pan. I go between being disgusted with the amount of money I have spent to thinking I have to have whatever is new. What makes it worse is that I work from home and I know my dogs don't care if I'm wearing Chanel or ELF LOL!

[@claudeyaz]

You can also have a couple of no makeup days, and just allow those days to let your skin care sit on your face and do its work.. I did that for 2 or 3 day intervals a couple times last year? And the difference was very noticeable!

[@Desertmermaid52]

I was dying to get my hands on the Chanel primer but it sold out and I don’t think it’s coming back so now I don’t care! Thank you Charlotte!😍😍

[@isabellamorris7902]

I knew I was a fan when there was a turtle tangent. I AGREE TURTLES ARE SO GOOD. And YES I am exactly the sort of person who would get excited by a golden sea turtle.

[@Sharischreiber451]

I like your bear in the background, but I wish it was a bit brighter. I love this series!!! Thank you.

[@AnyaAnnika67]

I love this series. You see so many content creators nowadays pushing products like the masses have the money to spend on them without getting in debt. My solution was that my birthday is coming up so I out sourced this to my fiancé lol 😂

[@SusanW-oj9he]

As my almost 102-year-old mother says that HER mother used to say: “You can always spend your money.” Love you Charlotte!!

[@jasenkavukelic5047]

I love this! All the best wishes to your mother!

[@ClaireRogers]

I DO NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO! Big fan of this series. I think it's the first video I saw on your channel. Stay strong everyone!

[@sabsa70]

I love this video format and I am super grateful that you keep reminding me that it's just makeup and that it is (mostly) very expensive. Theoretically, I shouldn't even watch all your other videos because they naturally make me want to buy everything you review. I'm sure it's not just me who finds it hard to resist and realize that I'm just a normal woman who only has one face. I will do my very best to constantly remind myself to first look in my draw before I will buy something new this year. My goal is to empty the stuff I have (or at least hit pan) and then reward myself with something new. (Fingers crossed 🤞🏼!) Love Sabine 😘

[@chrystar1]

I bought the Chanel blushes- all 3. The Mauve Glace (berry) was a value added to my collection as it's the perfect neutral subtle berry for my fair complexion. But I could have passed on the other two. They are quite subtle in pigmentation but I like the sheen. But yeah, think they should be a pass for most.

[@cecacademicadvisor]

No one can do a series like this better than you. You were born to do these type of videos! Love them!

[@Trish76]

I got the ND little palette set, and i love it! It's purse sized and travel friendly, as well as perfect to wear to my daughter's wedding.

[@puffsplus72]

This is my favorite series of yours. Thank you for these!

[@suzanneholman1203]

I love your presentational style. Very original and lovely to listen to! Thanks for talking me out of my makeup-obsessive behavior.

[@donnamarshall8349]

I love a good snorkel with a sea turtle - quote of the year! 😂😂😂🐢🐢🐢

[@leeromaliva6137]

Thank God. I wanted to get some stuff and my husband kept asking, when is that video about not needing any of that coming out. I am not sure if I should tell him that your video is here or not lol.

[@JR-md9rz]

Im constantly saying "I don't need that" and it's true so true. When you say it, I believe it, when I say it I feel like I'm trying to trick myself lol🎉 I'm the one that needs this😂 Thanks❣️

[@crunchybunbun]

Ive been doing the same😂 it works

[@sarahbrochu8144]

Charlotte talking about sea turtles is definitely my favorite part of this video

[@raindot5156]

I could no more afford the makeup you review than fly to the moon 🌝 However I enjoy your review style especially “you don’t need this”, as I can apply your words to my low end makeup temptations. God bless you in this new year. 🎉❤

[@beverlynelson599]

Hi Charolette! Your skin & blush are beautiful today! I enjoy these. "You Do Not Need That" videos! I am in agreement with you. Makeup adds up before we know it!

[@janetgorman3690]

That green sweater looks fantastic on you! Such a beautiful color.

[@tracymcarlson]

Charlotte, I fell for the Les Beiges collection but I DIDN’T buy the primer! Also I saw your IG post about being frustrated and I bet it’s about the “new” PMG collection, right? Don’t worry! I promise I have no desire to buy it! I’m running the other way! 😂 I too almost fell for the TF collection but then I slapped my hand and stood firm. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! You are hilarious and also so good for us, keeping us under control! Love to you and the fam, have a great weekend! ❤❤❤

[@claire.de.lune__]

Hi Tracy, what’s your opinion on the Chanel winter glow blush? x

[@tracymcarlson]

@@claire.de.lune__I love it, I got the Mauve Glace and it’s a color that I didn’t already have. It’s lovely!

[@gypsybelle637]

I needed that! lol , you words have given me the courage to not buy! I love you dear child. Well done.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼😳🤣

[@desireedesiree]

I love these videos! I took the part about concealers very personally… and I think I needed it! As for the Louboutin foundation, even the shade you put up on the screen looked odd to me - like I can’t think of anyone that has this skintone… waiting with popcorn for the reviews!

[@msmayven]

Charlotte, I'd be lost without you! Thanks for talking me out of the ND set. Sending lots of love.

[@SammysMysASMR]

You are a hoot talking about sea turtles 😂❤️edit to say I wish I knew of this channel $3000 ago and could someone be more charming !? 😍

[@SusieQusie71]

I had a better experience with the mini blush by Natasha. Its a top of drawer favorite for me right now. It just shows how everone can have different experiences with the same products.

[@megdvs21]

As someone who normally doesn’t give a flying flip about packaging beyond whether or not it is durable enough not to break to easily i hate to say it but the Louboutin foundation bottle and cap pulled me in at least enough to consider finding out more about it 😆

[@katherinericker1254]

I adore this video. I am trying to stop purchasing make up. I need to finish using what I have. It IS hard! You are so refreshing!

[@pamheid2913]

I love you and this series! I did fall for the Chanel snowflake but I'm not sorry. It's very pretty packaging, LoL. That's what my purchases are this year, cuz I don't need anything. But still love to look and buy. I thought I'd do a no buy year, but reality says nope let's try for a low buy year. Thanks for all your work.

[@Bodenesque]

I bought the light pink Chanel Blush ( Rose Polaire) and it doesn’t really show up on my light medium winter skin! It’s pretty, but I did not need it!! You are so right on the time out to see if we really need something. Also Pat’s new year & valentines launch containing re-promotes is good for the budget, bad for the makeup soul 🥺

[@janicedevereux2839]

Oh, Charlotte I really do think I need the Chantecaille Turtle eyeshadow palette, the green one, of course! The Packaging is so so pretty and different from anything I have .. is that a good enough excuse? Thinking🧐.. I SAY YES. 😄

[@aprilrich807]

I don’t know how long I’ve been a subscriber, but I do know that my reason was for high-end reviews. I love watching content that shows me what these products are really like. While I CAN afford these brands, I’m a “WON’T afford” person. This video was so refreshing-I enjoyed every second of it!!

[@robinartz4425]

I've always appreciated this series. That's even more so this year because I am one of those who have committed to a low-buy or no-buy year. You are our support structure for sticking to it. I spent about a third as much on makeup this month as I did last January but I could feel myself slipping. Your video came at just the right time My resolve is renewed!

[@dragondawn420]

Love this! It just reaffirms my commitment to restrained makeup purchases these days. I went kind of mad during the pandemic thanks to Poshmark (but I'm exceedingly picky and tried to buy unused or barely used items). I did purchase a Lisa Eldridge Sorcery palette from Mercari today, but it's new and unused...and was only $50 instead of Lisa's $62. BUT! Her Vega palette is back in stock and I'm seriously thinking of getting it once I've tried Sorcery and tested out the formula and longevity of the product. Not that I doubt Charlotte's word about Lisa's stuff, but still. Anyway. I don't know how Charlotte only has like 67K subscribers - I think she's one of the best makeup reviewers on KZbin, but then, her sense of humor about it all is what keeps me coming back so maybe there's too many humorless makeup people in the world. I don't know. I just know she's "up my street". Love you Charlotte!

[@ryleereynolds4550]

My favorite video on KZbin in a loooong time! Love the authenticity & how real you communicate why we don’t need these releases. Watching your video is like listening to your bff talk you off a ledge 😂 ❤

[@newbatgirl]

I can’t get enough of this series. I’ve learned so much about the sneaky tricks and secrets of the beauty industry from these videos.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

My favourite series. I’m bracing myself for a stern talking to and wanting a helping hand to lay low and buy low. Thank you ♥️ you’ve saved me.

[@danisbookshelf3167]

I love this series so much! It's such a breath of fresh air amidst so much encouragement to buy entirely too much, plus it always makes me laugh 😂

[@gbct2882]

I bought that Chanel primer, I agree nothing special but I actually had a reaction from it and therefore returned it. Otherwise I would of wore it exactly how you said, for a bit of glow on non makeup days! The blushes tho I couldn’t resist….i got two, the ones that have the beautiful radiant look burn my face (must be a ingredient I’m allergic/sensitive too) but these I can wear. I am super fair and struggle when winter comes getting nice blushes that don’t make me look like a clown and these are perfect! Everything else tho that I was looking at that was on your list, I will not be buying, your rationale is great!!! Altho I really wanna try that Tom ford blush 🤦🏼‍♀️. If it goes on sale I might grab it later this spring.

What I really need help with is resisting the bone deep need to get the Guerlain Tobacco & Honey. Your description was exactly the kind of scent I’m looking for. At this point, I’ve been wearing VS Heavenly for well over 20 years, and I need something new. I can’t seem to find anything close, though. Ugh! Help? Please? Pretty please?

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Same! I got a sample of the Guerlain T & H, and it is such a beautiful scent on me-but since it only comes in one size right now ($340), there’s just no way. Hopefully they’ll come out with a travel sized bottle for us!

What you said about the Gucci plumping glosses is what I feel about Rare Beauty lip oils. They are absolutely lovely, but you only need one. No matter how different the color looks when you first are smoothing it on, but the time you've let it dry 10 seconds it will be the same (albeit lovely) color on your lips. I'm so glad I have one, but regret buying 2.
