Cassandra! You beautiful butterfly….you are amazing and brilliant and I love the things you share to bring light to not only good skincare but also some awareness on the treatment of animals and more. But my dear…our earth….you need to educate yourself on the recycling of plastic. Many times you have talked about the benefits of this or that product packaging being recyclable….and it’s plastic. My dear…back in the 80s big oil dumped millions of dollars into promoting the recycling of plastic. And since has dumped millions and millions more. But here’s the thing…while yes, plastics are technically recyclable….it is not time or cost effective to recycle it. So….less than 10% of the works plastic actually gets recycled. Why? Big oil knows that if consumers think plastic is recyclable that we will be more apt to buy products in plastic. We will use it and then dump those water bottles and other plastic containers into our big blue recycling containers that the big recycling truck picks up. But then what? Well most of the plastic still goes to the dump. And big oil….guess what is needed to make new plastic? Oil. It’s so much more cost and time effective to make new plastic that companies buy new plastic and big oil has made BILLIONS off the millions they poured into convincing us to feel good about buying recyclable plastic when they knew it isn’t really going to get recycled. That’s why big oil invested in selling the whole concept. That’s why we believe it and….it works. But plastic is still not being recycled and it’s still winding up in landfills making up the majority of the trash there.

Boots have their own lab and has been creating products since the thirties! Number 7 is their premiere line and their Retinol is amazing ( rated high with plastic surgeons!) Their products are wonderful. Fun fact, Boots chemists invented Ibuprophen in the 1800s! Yep, they are a pharmacy in the UK and have been around for centuries. x

Yet ELF is right there being affordable, the products do what they say and they’ve always been cruelty free, like what more do people want? Buy from them, support them instead of those brands models shove in your face from the Vogue YT channel.

The thing that annoyed me about the ELF skincare line was that the packaging is very clearly designed to make you think you're getting more product than you are. The box is too big and has a little platform inside to fill the box and the tub is also much bigger than it needs to be with loads of dead space which makes the packaging unnecessarily bulky

Everything I have tried from the e.l.f. Holy Hydration line has been a total win for me. I'm 45 and have very sensitive, dry skin with rosacea so I've shied away from a lot of new products because too many have just caused flares or irritation and it's not worth the headache. But I tried the cleanser and was shocked at how good it was! Particularly for a foaming cleanser - didn't leave my skin feeling dry or stripped AT ALL. The cleansing balm is fantastic - even on waterproof mascara - and the skin cream (with and without SPF) are both part of my daily routine. It's just amazing to me how good this line is given how affordable it is! I also love how many of the products come in travel sizes too! I love being able to have my usual skin care routine when I travel in airport friendly sizes without having to go through the rigamarole of filling my own travel containers (which can be less sanitary and just plain messy!) I definitely stan. :) That being said, I'm definitely going to have to check out some of these other products! Thanks for always being both entertaining and transparent. If you recommend it, I know I can trust that it will be good.

No preference on what you test next but …. as a fellow rosacean (is that a word?) and also sensitive skin could you identify which products are BAD for us? I try and discard (read that: waste money) so many skin products. I know retinol is no go for me but don’t know what else to avoid. My dermatologist nurse practitioners are no help. Their answer is to use Vanicream but I’d like something a bit more fun and beneficial. So far L’Occitane gentle cream and Elemis marine cream don’t irritate my skin.

Snagged the ELF cleansing balm today. First impression- I really like it!!!! Glad I caught this video. Never thought I’d be a double cleanse person but this may change me.

When we're talking about basic skin care ingredients (like hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, niacinamide, jojoba oil, collagens, retinol, etc), I wonder.... Exactly how important is brand/pricing? Like, how much can the quality vary between companies? Is a $60 vitamin E serum that much different than a $12 one? I remember seeing HA serum and collagen masks at Dollar Tree once and didn't know how to feel lol.

[@maveline]

It really comes down to the science and ingredient quality that goes into every product imo, yes you can buy a $10 vitamin C but the question is is it stable? Is it good quality? How high on the ingredient list is it? All that goes into consideration when it comes to product development, formulation, effectiveness that determines the price.

Please do the comparison video of the hydration creams. I am so interested! Blessings!

[@Bekyboooo]

looking at the prices you showed i think the boots stuff might be cheaper over there than it is in store in the uk!!! I love their polygutamic acid!

[@Nikoomilano]

I have a frudia blueberry lip balm if anyone’s wondering it’s pretty thick like Vaseline but thicker it’s on yesstyle

[@LauralHill77]

The Frudia sunscreen can't be the same as the one from Stylvana, right? The FDA hasn't approved the filters. I guess it does have Titanium Dioxide, but I am very curious.

[@TayTayGrace03]

Cass!! You should try the NYX Bare With Me Priming SPF (spf 30)!! They're vegan and cruelty-free, and it's VERY comparable to the Black Girl Sunscreen. Highly recommend it!

[@reneenoway6619]

Is Frudia still at CVS? I can't find it. If it is will you add a link for me please :) Thanks!

[@zoekenney2796]

I loooove the elf hydro-gel moisturizer! I wish the holy hydration sunscreen worked for me but I had pilling issues 😫😫

[@dmederos13]

I love the holy hydration cleansing balm!! It melts beautifully, I don't wear make-up but it removes my Spf and water proof mascara without any issues and their prices 🤯!!! Have a great day💞

[@libertychic8926]

Oh I love the elf holy hydration cleansing balm, and the holy hydration toner as well as the supertone that is yellow.

[@emmalivingstone4662]

We usually don't have American stuff in our drugstores. But today I found Frudia sheet masks on SALE. I didn't even know we had those! So I bought like 10 different masks feeling sooooo excited I can't even express LOL Thank you for suggesting it, Cassandra! :)

[@jacqueline.9799]

Just ordered Frudia. Happy you approve it!

[@lorraincassesso1611]

I love you. You crack me up with your attitude on skincare you are one of my favorite people

[@deemewgaming]

Could you do a video on silicone free skin care? Im allergic (like swelling, breakouts, itchiness, redness and just general discomfort) and its really hard for me to find skin care that will not make me react.

[@eaglewingsusa]

please do a video on the considerations and implications for skin care for men vs women.

[@justicecampbell3892]

I had no idea Frudia was in cvs! So happy to know that! Now I gotta make a CVS run and check out out ASAP!

[@cherylreitz4779]

ELF skincare has been around couple of yrs now at target ULTA and walmart

[@piupauf]

God, I hate that Frudia SPF. It doesn't 'absorb' - it just lays on the skin and looks like you have extremely oily face (I have normal to combination skin). Would recommend using it only for those who has dry skin type. They also have a SPF specifically for oily skin (at least, I saw it at the stores in my country), but I didn't try it (was afraid of the same result).
