General Favorites | March 2017

[@stillersgirl]

Christine I find your approach to KZbin so refreshing. I feel like when I sit down To watch any video (including yours) I bring this openness and willingness to listen and understand and your videos are so attuned to that openness and doesn't try to take advantage of that. I really appreciate that. And you. Thank you!

[@arikojamie3567]

Watched True Cost after the uniform video and was really grateful for u cuz now I'm aware. That def made me think and also continued to watch a few TEDx talk related to that topic. It'll be difficult to change right away but it def left an impact thanks to u and I'm planning to slowly start changing. Also love Jenn Rogers!

[@happyyourehere]

Ariko Jamie soo happy for you :')

[@graceandgiggles]

Ariko Jamie hi, Ariko Jamie! 😍

[@arikojamie3567]

Jenn Rogers 🙌🙌🙌 hiiiiii xo

[@janabrown2304]

My 2017 resolution was to try to incorporate an overall more holistic approach to life (in all aspects from beauty to work to working out to my mental health to nutrition) and you're such a wonderful role model for this! Your narrative and what you preach is so evidently reflected in how you live your life and that's such an inspiration!

[@zelaazelaa]

The way you explain each favourite is so thorough and I love it!

[@vivianr1724]

the colors in your videos are always soooo great! I'm also loving what I can see of your outfit. I am hooked on this is us, I cry every episode. Hope you are feeling better, always look forward to your favorites.

[@OdeToFoliage]

I adore Jenn, she is so inspiring! I hadn't heard of Hannah's channel before - thanks for the recommendation her channel looks fascinating I can't wait to binge!!

[@KyndellPacheco]

I really enjoy your videos. Very informative. I love how you do the research on products before your buy them and you take the time to think about it. That is definitely something I have been trying to work on.

[@dreamanddwell]

🙏🏽🙏🏽Thank you so much, Christine!! This is the nicest shout out. You just made my day and I adore you and your channel! And to your point on low waste, I totallllly agree, it's always a work in progress! I've also always viewed you and your channel as a very intentional consumer and you've been a big inspiration to me! 💕 thank you again! Xo

[@apatris]

hey christine! i love your videos because i feel like we have a really similar makeup style: minimal, quick and fresh. would you consider making a video of your favorite sheer/medium base products? like concealers, foundations, tinted moisturizers, etc

[@rdg___]

I love that you love Jenn Rogers! Her morning chats and your GRWM's are some of the videos that I look forward to the most. Also, I ended up getting the NuYu Silisponge since you liked it so much and I have to say I love it! It's really efficient and works great with Glossier products. For new music - have you heard of Tei Shi? She's released two stellar EP's and her debut album just came out yesterday! I highly recommend.

[@dessybaeva]

I loved this so much! The colour palette of the video, the things you talked about, your values, everything xx

[@adrianaiello1608]

dang i'm diggin all of your favorites this month, ur super hardcore for filming when u feel so bad, i had a reaction to some chocolate i ate last month and know the pain. hope you're feeling better christine!!! xo

[@Mynovelplans]

I also love this is us. Thanks for sharing the rest of your favorites!

[@bunnyplusdeer]

I ALWAYS enjoy your general favorite videos! Thank you for sharing; I love hearing your thoughts!

[@ilovedogsdogs]

whats ur lipstick ! amazing shade

[@nicolestark3316]

Love your channel - such a goodie. Thanks for the informative and helpful recommendations. Hope you are on the mend.

[@michellebelledejour]

Calamine lotion or aloe vera would help cool the areas of your skin that are irritated 😊I always look forward to seeing your Glossier videos. The Cloud paint is my favorite blush this month ❤😊

[@CarinaandZara]

The true cost had such a huge impact on my shopping habits. Also, I ABSOLUTELY LOVEEE This is us!! so sorry you had to deal with the rash and allergies. I hope its all better now! Really appreciated your effort in putting this video out!!

[@kiram990]

Speaking of crying when watching a tv show:) I've started rewatching "Homicide : Life On The Street" .. It's still so extremely beautiful! The writing and acting and directing are so wonderful. There are so many poetic and touching and beautiful moments there... P. S. Hope you're feeling better !!

[@PineapplesFromHell]

sweetie, I have chronic eczema so here's a trick that might help. and I KNOW the feeling but one of my fave ways to go about it is this: put Vaseline on it. put a layer of damp gauze (like run it under water then ring it out). put a layer of dry gauze. this will be EXTREMELY moisturizing. and not only that, it will prevent anything from touching it! good luck!

[@candygram501]

Christine, you poor thing! Some calamine lotion might give you some relief from that rash, and if you haven't tried Benadryl yet, that might help too. Your dedication to your channel is definitely admirable

[@candygram501]

Also, you have the BEST favorites! I fell in love with badbadnotgood, just to name one of many. And I love that you try to leave a small carbon footprint. You're a great role model.

[@theresatran]

ah such a trooper for filming through your allergic reaction!! hope it has gone down!!

[@sofiefischer-rasmussen1328]

get well soon ! and it doesn't look bad for the video don't worry!! thanks for great favs as always xx

[@SuGaRyBLoSsOm]

I love your originality ❤️ thank u for uploading Christine 💋

[@gembutler2479]

Oh Christine! You poor lamb! What a trooper you are doing this video. I hope it's getting better now? Love your vids. X

[@circling-girl]

What is that black top that you're wearing? I love it.

[@Yehamarin]

I look forward to this vdo every month. So happy that you're going to do them every month now. I hope you feel better soon. Much love from Bangkok

[@stacychen37]

i love jenn rogers! her voice is so calming :)

[@VivienneGucwa]

Aw, hope you felt better after this! Food allergies are not fun at all. Love all your suggestions. Going to go and check them out now. You are one of my fav channels.

[@heatherromero9755]

What are you wearing on your lips and cheeks?

[@lepetit84]

Agreed! Please do tell, Christine! :)

[@yileitian4452]

My guess: it's Kosas lipstick, color Fringe.

[@niklashinze8693]

Heather Romero Probably a generation g lip tint/balm

[@chrissstttiiine]

It's Kosas in Fringe ;-) glossier dusk on the cheeks

[@gupkets]

i love jenn rogers!

[@AlliCherry]

Christine!! Hope you're feeling better since filming this. Food reactions are the worst. I haven't started This is Us yet because I know it'll wreck me 😭 but I know I should watch it. Love Jenn & Hannah too!

[@graceandgiggles]

Alli Cherry you two are just making my night. 🤗❤

[@julianamerz9493]

I am so happy every time I see a you tuber that doesn't promote a "haul" or over consumption! We need to be aware of our contribution to the state of things in this world. Have you seen the films "Cowspiracy" or "What the Health"? They are both great and so important.

[@almariver3065]

The true cost changed my world too!! This is my favourite video you've ever made 😍😍 since transitioning to veganism and a 'conscious consumer' lifestyle ( I hate labels but really do t know how else to describe reducing my waste and consumption lol) two years ago your videos have been sort of a guilty pleasure. Even though you are amazing for supporting independent labels, small business etc. And buying good quality items that last, your makeup haul videos sometimes made me miss buying products and I was hoping you'd start promoting more sustainable options so THANK YOU for coming to the dark side

[@ckpeony]

Who doesn't love Jenn and Brandon Rogers? 💖

[@graceandgiggles]

ckpeony Awwwww Chris!!!!

[@xWanderlustt]

I love your spotify playlists! I'm going to start playing them out loud in my research lab. :)

[@NYCFashionista56]

I always look forward to your videos! They're so fun to watch💕 I was just wondering if the Kiehls eye cream also helps with dark circles?

[@knotbadbutgood5099]

Loved your video! Great recommendations Jenn Rogers is so sweet! What is the name of the outfit you are wearing? I tried to look for a link :-(

[@andreakostkavelazquez8613]

your hair looks so pretty like that tho!!! It kinda lights up your face 💕

[@shanny128]

Hello Christine! Feeling your throat swell is not a good sign, if your breathing gets worse or lips start swelling - go to the ER. At least you have energy and a pretty smile on your face when recording. Hope you have an Epi pen in easy reach from your doctor in the future!!! -from your dedicated viewer, concerned ICU nurse

[@quyentran6059]

can you do a video on your makeup in this video?

[@janeosun]

Benadryl!!!!!!! You're such a great content maker. Hope your rash gets better and honestly, if you hadn't mentioned it I wouldn't even have noticed! Get better soon~

[@Franzi634]

Christine :) I never really do comment on videos, but I like to tell you that I love your content and your approach on clothing and low waste! I've been watching your Videos for years, your so inspiring and I love your music taste and style! It always makes me happy to see one of your videos in my subscription Box. Love from Germany ( and yes mechanics do wear a coat like yours my dad has several of them as well!)

[@dooorthvader]

you could try drinking some warm manuka honey water, or boil some ginger slices with a piece of chinese rock sugar. i also have food allergies and these calm my skin allergies. hope this helps!!

[@sophiel.2465]

get well soon ♡

[@KatKeenSense10]

Your makeup is flawless!

[@Jane-in2hb]

i love your favorites! always inspiring

[@lovesj915]

Thanks for the vid Christine! Hope you're better but a colloidal oatmeal bath is sooo soothing if you haven't tried it yet. I've had my eye on May Coop Raw sauce for a while. Been putting it off while I finish what I have. Will try soon. Also, I saw some of your vinyl on your vlog and began exploring. Baby Huey and the Babysitters and Betty Davis are rockin my world! Love obscure soul and funk. Thanks for opening my music world! Feel better sweet lady! This old lady looks forward to your vids

[@snoozleblob]

Hope your reaction and rash gets better soon! And thanks for the video as always. Love seeing a new video from you in my subscription box. I know you've been busy freelancing but I was wondering if you would ever consider revisiting old favorites and making an updated comment/review on then and why you moved on or how it comes to your current favorites? Like a throwback series with a retrospective reflection. It always baffled and confused me how everyone seems to have new holy grail items every year because surely not every new item or brand is consistently better than the old stuff otherwise why would the old stuff still be around!?

[@luvfaerytales]

Hey Christine! I think you would like Aesop's Resurrection hand balm - it smells amazing and leaves my hands so soft. 🙃

[@Redeemed-10]

Hi Christine. Your skin looks beautiful in this video. Are you only wearing the bareminerals powder with the givenchy on top? Do you put the cloud paint blush on top of the powder founation? Thanks for another great video!

[@teganw2686]

I hope you feel better soon! I have suffered for two years with severe allergic reactions nothing worse! Get well soon !X

[@oliviascott7271]

i love, love, love watching your videos Christine x

[@feicai3901]

The background color suits you perfectly

[@oberisa]

Get better soon! Love this video and the keythingy looks super

[@nohowell]

opening this video i was struck by how beautiful you are!! i also love your makeup in this video especially the colour on your lips :-)

[@Bisoubisou123]

:'( Thank you for your dedication towards making these videos despite your terrible allergic reaction, Christine

[@Kelly-Bromm]

Loving your channel Christine! You should definitely give Alima Pure mineral foundation a try since you love Bare Minerals! It's a brand with much cleaner/natural ingredients

[@Koolkats1234567890]

i'm so sorry about the rash. that exact same allergic reaction happens to me when i eat strawberries. i obsessively take benadryl to get rid of it.

[@danyellg3079]

Hey Christine! Is the roller ceramic? It looks similar to the face technique

[@Ianthe6]

First of, I really really liked the photos you took! They were very consistent and looked super clean :) Maybe they could use a little less negative space though, so the focus is more on the product? However, that's just my preference and I am not in any way an expert. So you can take it or leave it ;) Really enjoyed this video by the way (as I always do)! Hope you feel better soon! :)

[@courtneychineme6542]

1. Your skin and makeup look phenomenal 2. Are you wearing a la causa jumpsuit from their newest collection? because I'm really considering it!

[@parasdox5701]

Christine, may I ask how big your closet is? I want to keep a minimal size as well and not accumulate or buy what I don't need. So, I'm curious what size do you keep your closet at do you feel is big enough to create a variety of stylish outfits? I'm a little surprised how you manage to be remain fashionable with so little (in a good way).

[@garunokcha3879]

I'm always impressed by your conscious and amazing taste, Christine. like your vids

[@laurap.3976]

Holy cow, lady! Don't mess around with that allergy. They can have a compounding effect where the reaction gets worse as you consume more. Take some Benadryl and see an allergy specialist. That throats closing up business is no bueno. My hubs did a year in an ENT/allergy specialty. PS: Got my glossier order in...OBSESSED. 💕

[@SaikolaM]

I got a rash yesterday, too! It's disgusting and I hate it but I bought a really cute blouse today so I'm gonna rock the rash-on-neck-look haha

[@shaynabenjamin8700]

your hair looks beautiful up!

[@KyuriCatCat]

I have simlar allergic reactions to certain asian shrimp products. I later found out it was the flavorings and preservatives that made me itch, because I am not allergic to any crustaceans, and can still eat fresh shellfish with no problem.

[@chrissstttiiine]

+Starry Maiden really? That's good to know

[@graceandgiggles]

I adore you, thank you 😍😭🎉

[@MR-bq6xu]

Jenn Rogers love your channel Jenn!

[@chrissstttiiine]

+Jenn Rogers ❤❤❤

[@graceandgiggles]

M R. Thank you so much!

[@onionnring]

Two of my favorite youtubers!!!

[@heynedajoon]

I love this is us and for something fun watch life in pieces it's light and funny.

[@NurseJackieFTW]

Great idea for a monthly video, really enjoyed it. Concerned about your allergic reaction though, I hope you're feeling better. Take care.

[@A0L9Y1G7]

I recommend listening to a podcast by The Minimalists. they have amazing advice on so many topics and they have a documentary as well.

[@brianaaguilar1]

I'm trying to get into a set skincare routine but there are so many steps >.

[@davidcawrowl3865]

Enjoy your "general favorites" for gift ideas, thank you. Feel better!

[@xxriotmachines]

I know how you feel with that allergic reaction! If you feel like your throat is closing up again, try taking Benadryl (should just be HCl, I think). It's a fast acting allergy medicine; it'll make you drowsy but it'll also help with the reaction. I'm allergic to scallops so I have to keep some on me.

[@guqizi]

Hello from New Zealand! xx

[@tovapickle]

If you haven't yet already, you need to listen to In Particular by Blonde Redhead. In my top 10 songs of all time canon - so dreamy and luscious.

[@tomako_uk]

Great video! Could you tell me where you got your black strap top? x

[@chrissstttiiine]

+Tomo Shira yes it's from Lacausa in Silverlake

[@tomako_uk]

Thank youuuu!;)

[@tomako_uk]

chrissstttiiine do you have some more of your favourite ethical clothing online shop/brand? If so, PLEASE make a video about it!! Recently I watched True Cost and try to find some ethical clothes shop. It'd be nice if you could share your fav:D

[@myjulo]

Thank you for the lovely video as always!!! could you do a ceramics video one time? would love to see that coming from you!

[@honeymoonsweet2582]

i hope you get well soon!

[@anburnell]

Thanks for making this video in the midst of an allergic reaction :/ I hope you are feeling better now!

[@jeydella]

who's claire?

[@mjmjmj3046]

jeydella heyclaire on KZbin, or Claire Marshall (:

[@cloudberry0164]

What makeup are you wearing?

[@ninaperry2873]

Did you ever find the exact jade roller you got?

[@parasdox5701]

Where are your overalls from btw? It's so cute!

[@shannonbruno]

Hope you're feeling better! Can I suggest doing a Diva Cup experience video please?! I'm super interested!

[@aikominnie]

I didn't even notice ur rashes until u mention it when I clicked in the video I just thought omg I love ur top/outfit

[@shadeneubig]

I hope you start feeling better soon.

[@kasenalane1723]

Lip color please!!!

[@StjernestovLOL]

You should check out Sweatshop! It's norwegian, but I'm pretty sure you can find it with english subtitles.

[@zaprude]

:( Was so excited to join in the giveaway, but so sad it's only runs via Instagram.

[@happyyourehere]

i love you even more now ♡ low waste and you talked about the true cost ? Awesome ^-^

[@koungson]

Hope you feel better... don't be so hard on yourself. Love your chanel

[@LinstantEclosion]

Aww Chritine I felt sorry for you the entire video. Are you alright now ? I remember one time I had a huge allergy because of an acne treatment, my face just got 5 times bigger, I looked like a sumo (not even exagerating, my dad said that if i wasn't speaking, he couldn't said it was me haha) This was years ago and still laughing/traumatised lol Anyway, love your general favorites, so interesting to watch ! Take care xx

[@louiselangton]

Hope you're recovered by now! Loved the video :)

[@m2henry1]

Just got over a MASSIVELY itchy episode of contact dermatitis, ended up narrowing it down to a detergent allergy :/ It is horrible, hope you're better now

[@asmijoshi6666]

+chrissstttiiine The rash is not disgusting. If you hadn't pointed it out, I may have not even noticed. Please don't feel the need to apologize for why you have your hair up! You're fine, you're good. :)

[@haw_n_thorne]

it's not ugly or disgusting at all! it's human and real--- and most of all it's you---getting better from potential anaphylaxis so that's good;) liking' 'accountability'-- it's like 'living within my means' I'd take a benadryl next time-- it'll worsen if it happens again so take it seriously--- I'm sure you are--- take care m'dear

[@Alejandra-jz2eg]

You look very pretty in this video! 💕

[@CelesteAngelica]

I adore you & your simplicity. I'd love to collaborate on a video with you sometime.
