Empties & New Products: Makeup and Skincare | ttsandra

[@bebelovely7451]

I love that you mention your replacements after you go through your empties! And it's so helpful that you provide product comparisons. Thank you for sharing this info.

[@ttsandra]

Yay! Happy to hear that you enjoy this format 💕

[@katsm-wo9704]

Love these videos they’re so informative and useful as well as being very entertaining. Don’t ever apologize for the length of the video we all love watching it

[@ttsandra]

you are so kind! thank you for taking the time to watch 💕

[@sarahloucks5275]

Empties are soooo satisfying! Also, I love your shirt!!!

[@ttsandra]

i've gotten to the point where i get more satisfaction from using something up, than from buying something new 😄

[@discopogo314]

Single eyeshadows will always be cool to me! I poked a hole with a needle in the aluminum foil for cloud paints so it only dispenses a little product when you squeeze it.

[@ttsandra]

genius! thanks for the tip :)

[@shabinapatel8237]

These are my favourite videos of yours!! I’ve had my eye on the Jordan Samuel hydrate serum for awhile...might just go for it now! X

[@ttsandra]

yay thanks for watching! I love filming them

[@Lindzmcm4]

LOVE your hair color!!! Gorgeous. Great video!

[@ttsandra]

Thank you so much!!

[@yvonneh5620]

I appreciate ur honesty and enjoyed this format.. U r lovely...

[@ttsandra]

Thank you so much 😊

[@angielovestoki]

I recently used up and then repurchased the one love organics vitamin b enzyme cleansing oil. I always think I can find a cheaper replacement for it and then realize how good it is, and have to go back.

[@ttsandra]

that is a nice one! it smells like a tropical paradise

[@andreaparker2069]

I use several products you mentioned in this video. The one I totally agree with you on is the Surratt eyeshadows. Love them to the point I have 16 different shades,, among them Brunatre which I used to use as a crease color. I now use it at the outer corner "V", preferring Ombre from mobile lid to just above crease as I am much paler than you. Also, much older and with normal skin, ie: not oily, not terribly dry. This makes Dew Drops a great light foundation for me. And, maybe because of my different skin concerns, I have repurchased Touche Eclat High Cover several times, although once I feel comfortable visiting Sephora, I want to check out the shades of the Pat McGrath concealer. There are so many shade choices, I don't feel like I would be able to figure out what shade I need based on the online color charts.

[@ttsandra]

I really hope Surratt doesn't discontinue the shadows - they're so beautiful. agreed that trying out the shades in store is a better option, especially for complexion products - if you do end up trying the Pat McGrath concealer, I hope it works for you!! the Touche Eclat High Cover accentuated my fine lines so it wasn't my fave. I find the PMG more smoothing in a way, but everyone's skin is different - which is the beauty of having so many options :)

[@sparklefarter]

I always look forward to your empties! It's always so informative and organized. We have very similar skin issues so I always look forward to your recommendations. :) I loved it when you still lived in Canada since I could always just go to Shoppers to pick up the goodies! haha But nonetheless, still very helpful! As I've watched you for years, I remember I used to share the love for matte/satin foundations but, as we age I'm getting more inclined to light/hydrating products. I've been loving Kosas' new concealer. It literally melts into the skin, has great coverage and does not cling to dry patches at all! It does have more of a strong yellow base but, it's been perfect for me as nothing is ever yellow toned enough! Also been enjoying Fenty's cream blushes. They def. do have pigment to them and blend so easily with decent lasting power! Please keep doing them for as long as you can! 🙏🏻

[@ttsandra]

thank you so much for watching :) still live close to Canada and before the borders closed I was there often to visit friends - so you better believe I'll be back to Shoppers when I can!! haha

[@pinkabuki]

there's still quite a bit of burberry makeup on the hudsons bay website. You're the only one that I recall ever talking about burberry makeup on youtube. I have a few pieces back when sephora had more instock online. I keep thinking to grab something just so that I can try it before it's gone.

[@ttsandra]

the bay was my go to source when I was in Canada! there used to be some at Saks too but the selection is getting slimmer and slimmer and lots of my fave shadows are gone 🥺

[@tiffanietyler3091]

I agree with you. I picked up one of my favorite eyeshadows thanks to Sandra. I would have never tried Burberry otherwise.

[@lisa9916]

I too , still love good single eye shadows, and I pretty much have all the colors of the Glossier Cloud Paint blush really ❤️ it!!🥰. Thanks for another great vid!!💕

[@ttsandra]

the formula is so easy to use! i wish they came in little pump bottles or something haha

[@jenniferfortune4267]

You have to -HAVE TO-get the nude cloud paint! I have them all and that’s the best one. It’s also great mixed in with the other shades. It will be great with your coloring. Thanks for making such informative and sincere videos!

[@ttsandra]

thats the one my friend swears by! thanks so much for watching

[@hkw7358]

I love these videos from you too! They are really informative and refreshing. Also your look is giving me major VS model vibes and I’m here for it. Yeah, the cloud paint packaging has always put me off from purchasing. I bought the Em Cosmetics serum blush but that packaging is super bulky and messy. It‘s a bit of a pain to store and dispense which is a bummer because the formula is so good. I wish brands put more thought into user experience. Have you tried any Westman Atelier? I have their highlight in peau de peche and it’s BOMB. I‘m drooling over that entire line

[@ttsandra]

thank you!! the Em cosmetics serum bluch packaging has been hindering me from buying also lol i just know i will drip it down a white T-shirt 😆 I've been admiring Westman Atelier from afar - I was planning on holding off until I can try it in person but who knows when that time will be now with the pandemic. Peau De Peche looks incredible!

[@melanie-1027]

Oh, the Lancome cushion blush! Loved it so much. Speaking of discontinued products...I may have found a replacement for the L'Oreal Brow Stylist. It is by ELF and is called the Wow Brow. I picked it up from Shoppers on a whim and it is so good!

[@ttsandra]

Thanks for sharing!! i want to check it out now. I heard the Covergirl easy breezy brow gel is supposed to be great too

[@melanie-1027]

@@ttsandra oooh! Good to know. The Elf one was around $5 and it is honestly the closest I have found to the L'Oreal brow gel. And the colour is spot on for me.

[@tatyana7266]

I like your T-Shirt! Aint Laurent :))))))

[@literallyheather]

My favorite single shadow is Dior Cosmopolite. Gorgeous!

[@ttsandra]

Love a good single shadow!!

[@elizabethschafer857]

Could you do a updated skincare routine including your journey with retinA.? Did you use your Differin on the days you didn't use the retinA?

[@ttsandra]

Will do an update skincare video soon! And no I don’t use Differin on the nights I don’t use retin-a. I finished the tube I had of differin before moving on to retin-a

[@andrianag82]

Hi Sandra! My favorite surrat lipsliques are chuchoter and hevyn. I love their eyeshadows as well and it does look like they are sadly discontinuing them. Your smile looks great with invisilgn! 😊

[@ttsandra]

i can’t believe they’re discontinuing the eyeshadows I WANT TO CRY 😂😭

[@missyabsurd]

I really love your hair in this video. Just gorgeous x

[@ttsandra]

thank you so much!

[@nka30]

Impressive amount of makeup in this video. Love these videos. I’ve also recently bought the cloud paint in the nude shade and don’t enjoy the packaging either.

[@ttsandra]

packaging is horrible!!

[@kendraileen]

Your hair looks beautiful.

[@ttsandra]

Thanks Kendra!! It was a good hair day 😄

[@ilonna9623]

I love my Lancome cushion blush, I bought it because of you - thank you😘. I really enjoy now Shiseido cream blushes.

[@ttsandra]

I have been meaning to try those ever since I saw Andreea Ali use them. thanks for reminding me - need to check them out soon

[@Anna-vz5tn]

I have the Surratt Brunaitre too, it's pretty. Try Moss...that one is so good too.

[@ttsandra]

i am now in a mini panic because i hear Surratt eyeshadows are being discontinued too LOL why can't we have nice things? 😂

[@hijlaa]

I would totally be here for a video on your favorite sheer, easy, single shade eyeshadows! I'm really kinda over eyeshadow palettes? I used to do a smokey eye for YEARS and feel like an alien whenever I didn't but now I feel so strange with really pigmented shades on my eyes. I dunno but I feel like I look fresher when I don't and it's actually liberating?

[@ttsandra]

I am toying with the idea but a lot of them are discontinued 😭😭😭 so not sure if it would be a useful video lol

[@manueladumitru2415]

So happy when one of your videos are showing up in my inbox.. :) Especially empties! Great info as usual Xx

[@ttsandra]

always appreciate your support, Manuela 💕💕

[@manueladumitru2415]

💞

[@teadivamuse]

Love Surratt too. You and Michelle Wang are the only KZbin's who talk much about it. I have the Dewdrop foundation and it is great for my dry skin. Will have to check out that eyeshadow color, thanks for the top.

[@ttsandra]

thanks for watching!! i think I'll have better luck with Dew Drop in the winter, not giving up on it yet haha

[@karola5]

I enjoy so much these vids! So, I used up Alpha-h Liquid Gold and Pixi Glow Tonic and finally decided to buy the P50 but first I got the one for sensitive skin and o.m.g I am loyal from day one. It took 4 days to see a huge difference in texture of my skin. I used up Dr Sturm Hyaluronic Acid and Inkey List HA as well and for that I got Medik8 B5 HA serum so we”ll see how that goes ( I must say I started to read the articles about HA that it Does nothing or make skin even more dehydrated-don’t know what to think about it any more but nonetheless I bought another one ;), makeup wise I used up only one lipstick Dior Incognito that I bought once because of you and maaannnn that was a great one ! I have my eye on the Medik8 vitamin C serum Tetra-C sth. So that should arrive soon. Karolina

[@ttsandra]

I was looking at the Medik8 Tetra-C too but it was out of stock at the time - let me know if you end up trying it! great job using up all those goodies :) I go back and forth on HA too -- I feel like I'm constantly reading conflicting information. Ultimately, though, we have to listen to our skin. Does your skin respond well to those products? For me, HA serums have always made my skin feel more bouncy and plump, and when I don't use them I miss them... so I keep using them (but always make sure to seal them in with moisturizer)

[@karola5]

ttsandra well that’s the thing if I use it with a moisturizer immediately the skin feels great, but if I apply a moisturizer or oil a bit later, like 2-3 minutes after , it feels wierd, almost dry but uncomortable dry so that’s why I started to dig a bit more about HA in general. I will do some break after this bottle and Will see how that translates. I will report back with a Medik8 vit c serum :)

[@sharmilividyadaran9016]

Hi Sandra, I gave birth to a baby girl last month and I've been binge watching your videos during breastfeeding. I absolutely love your videos and its great to watch them again. I recently finished Physiogel's Anti Redness Serum. Physiogel is a line geared towards sensitive skin and is easily available at pharmacies where I live. I have absolutely no redness issues (I'm medium tanned skin, Indian ethnicity), but the inkey list has niacinamide quite high up and I love niacinamide for my skin. I've already got a second bottle open. A product I am probably gonna try (its a splurge, but worth spending money on Vit C isn't it?) is Oskia's new Super-C Smart Nutrient capsules.

[@ttsandra]

hi Sharmili, congratulations on the new addition to your family!! I am honored to be keeping you entertained while you're feeding your baby girl 💕 thanks so much for sharing your faves. I need to look into Physiogel - that stuff sounds great! Niacinamide is such a wonderful ingredient

[@catnip4587]

I use Jordan’s serum in the morning and prescription retinol at night. I have no problems with irritation but totally support being careful Nordstrom’s has a small selection of Burberry makeup. I loved their cream blush and definitely cannot find it anywhere

[@ttsandra]

It made my skin sensitive when I was starting Differin so I’ve been overly cautious this time around 😄 will repurchase after the LRP serum runs out though!

[@erinb4596]

Love your makeup in this video! What is on your eyes? So gorgeous! 😘😘💕

[@ttsandra]

i mention it in the video! surratt brunatre with a couple of shades from Pat McGrath Mothership V

[@CrocodileToon_connect]

Loving your tan/glow/makeup/vibe! xo What retin-A are you using now?

[@ttsandra]

thank you so much! i'm using the 0.05% cream

[@electrictwilight]

Burberry Beauty recently hired Isamaya Ffrench as their new Global Beauty Director, so I think the line is coming back, but it will probably be pretty different than the Wendy Rowe years.

[@ttsandra]

oooh really? Isamaya Ffrench is working with Byredo too for their beauty launch in October!

[@MrJaydenReece]

Sandra I love your channel! You should have so many more subscribers than you do! Sending love to you! ❤️

[@ttsandra]

Thanks so much

[@emic138]

Did you tone your hair recently? I love the shade!

[@ttsandra]

I did not, just did a purple hair mask :)

[@AmateurBeautyAddict]

Okay tough question here but Pat McGrath undereye or Laura Mercier secret brightening powder?

[@ttsandra]

Pat Mcgrath!!

[@AmateurBeautyAddict]

[@yulimarvildosola7209]
