GOING THROUGH A BUNCH OF PR AND DECIDING WHAT TO KEEP

[@nadiashahabdiaz3919]

Video idea: a realistic HLP take on the trend of what you’d buy if you lost your entire makeup collection! I think that when a lot of KZbinrs do this trend it’s not the most realistic, bc really that quantity of beauty at once is not something one person would get at one time - like the realistic consumer would likely stick to a minimal face they feel most comfortable with for day to day, maybe a couple of items they love that they would like to have immediately to treat themselves, but other things they would collect over time. So I’d love to see your take on that video on what are the things you “need” to buy first in order to feel like your most comfortable self if you lost your entire makeup collection

[@amyjohnson4543]

I'd like to see this too

[@chrissy1510]

I’d love to see this! Or, taken from a slightly different POV, of someone who was just starting out, never really having had a MU collection in the first place. What are the ‘must haves’? (Asking for a friend)

[@maddyfox8545]

Great idea 😊

[@Beautyonthebrain_]

she did one of those videos a looooong time ago, I'd be interested in a follow up.

[@theprousteffect9717]

Urban Decay needs a new creative director. The "Naked" branding has been taken far beyond the levels of meaninglessness and absurdity, into straight up trolling territory.

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Lol! Very well said

[@Sfgirl1299]

He/she is like, “Hear me out here: Naked Dongle Palette. Amirite!?”

[@hirry.p]

😂 TF Born This Way and CT Pillow Talk is also going that way…

[@kailebrogan6252]

some of their products are amazing some are a miss. One is the gorgeous is ud Naked x Robin Eisenberg Eyeshadow Palette.

[@lauwo_12]

I hate that they had to reinvent the original Naked palettes! Why couldn’t they just have updated the design, created another 1-2 versions with different depths and added different finishes (sparkly, metallic, satin etc). There was no need to reinvent a classic at all, they could have just played around with the existing shades.

[@villapulla]

Please keep reckonings coming! It's both useful and entertaining to hear you dissect the reasons for keeping and letting go of items, such a good format

[@Karen-DeMars]

I cannot overstate the pleasure I get from your thoughtful consideration and articulation of the factors guiding this “reckoning.” The details themselves are cogent - even motivational - as I rifle through my own collection. Also, I could fully wrap myself in your voice and speaking style like a cozy blanket … just lovely. 🥰

[@witchburr976]

Same Omg I cannot express how appreciative I am for the motivation and extra voice in my head for things like this!!

[@palettesandpans]

This comment perfectly and eloquently put my exact feelings into words ☺️

[@DanielleReuther]

Versed and Merit have the same CEO/founder! I’m always surprised this isn’t more of a known thing, but I’ve been following her for a while since she was also one of the co founders of Who What Wear - she decided to take on the product side of their offerings (hence versed and merit were born) and her other co founder now mainly works with their content centric products (website and podcast) (…if I’m remembering the details correctly).

[@Bkrubies]

I find the rephr skincare to be so underrated and no one ever talks about it. I love their stuff!

[@ashleymejia8971]

Yes! And they have a 40% off sale happening at this moment. I already have a good amount left over from their last sale but my god are the formulations phenomenal and well priced.

[@traciecashi]

Rephr has its skincare at 50% off right now! I’ve restocked the cleanser, essence and intense hydration cream. I’ve also ordered the lighter cream to try because I loved everything else they’ve done. Who needs a Sephora sale for skin care when they’re doing is affordably every day AND running a promotion like this?

[@susanelizabeth4344]

Fox from merit is one of the best blush purchases I’ve made in quite a while. The color is so stunning and I love the sheer buildable quality of the formula! I am really pale and I love when I can wear colors like that that don’t go on in a super saturated way.

[@supernouveaux]

Same, I fell in love with the formula when I bought Mood last year to try and now I own like 6 or 7? It's like the only blush I wear anymore tbh I want them to bring Mars back permanently so bad, because I don''t want to use mine because I know once it's gone it's gone forever 😭

[@susanelizabeth4344]

@@supernouveaux mood is my other fave 😻😻😻

[@theHelicase]

I feel we need a third party involved the next time Joe to rebrands makeup, so you BOTH don't know the original! Maybe a friend can disguise the products, so all you see is Joe's (absolutely wonderful) branding. I'm curious... if you only saw Joe's branding, how would it impact the way you approached the products? The reveal of the original products would be super fun at the end!

[@thiftingmybestlife]

HLP making my Sat better 🎉😊

[@YvonneRaphaelWriter]

Such high end products that are totally beyond my budget, but I relish living vicariously for these minutes with you.

[@faithmiraclesdestiny1432]

A video idea for us folks who are desaturated/muted or olive - what makeup products (shades of foundation, eyeshadow, blush, bronzer) you know and tried that have grey in them or compliment olive skin tones. I have a similar complexion to you, just more tan, so I find myself relating to a lot of your product issues (them being too saturated or too peach or too orange). So yeah, that would help us a lot!

[@DiMagnolia]

The tape peeling ASMR was so satisfying ❤

[@Beautyonthebrain_]

I am so happy to see reckonings making a comeback!!! I find your overhead content so soothing, but theres something special about reckonings & declutters.

[@kristenm.4825]

I love that rephr moisturizer! Definitely use the key that came with it, makes it so much easire to get out. 🖤

[@a.p.9381]

Omg what a burn… “it’s like someone’s Dad made it” haha

[@taylormayenschein2723]

I love an old school HLP reckoning! I love the expansion of creativity your channel is growing in, but this rigorous passing through of items is such a good practice! My culling/streamlining has taken a backseat over the last year, and this reminder is wonderful. I just moved on Monday, and now that I'm finally have space to breathe, I am having more makeup playtime, as well as unearthing older (perhaps past its prime) makeup.

[@kalaniblake8699]

I know it's been really popular on youtube and tiktok, but it would be fun to see you get a professional color analysis! Since you talk about undertones and saturation on your channel I think it would be so interesting to see a professional do something similar! I feel like it could be a different use of your channel budget, sort of makeup and fashion adjacent.

[@sallyjordan4869]

I was just enjoying the sound of the tape ripping off the packages when you said, “This is turning into an ASMR video.” 😂

[@NoDecaf7]

Grateful for Rephr sale knowledge! I don't subscribe to emails, so this was a lovely little push to replace some of my older, grungier brushes.

[@supernouveaux]

Lol when I saw the thumbnail I knew you would keep Fox for sure, but also Stockholm because it's your sort of thing and I was surprised you decided to part with it. I also have the Chantecaille blush in Happy and I don't think they look the same when applied on the face. Happy definitely is more peach-y leaning and more "no makeup makeup" to me and Stockholm packs a bit more punch where it gives that pink almost slightly sun burnt look.

[@heatherc3852]

I really appreciate how methodical you go through your thoughts and decisions. I would love to see you do a video of other KZbinrs favorites and see if you agree 😊

[@Chaotic_Pixie]

I am so excited you kept the lipstick. I have big feels that you might not get use all year long, but I think it'll be one of those, shining gems of spring/summer. It honestly reads so perfectly corally pink on my screen. It makes my brain happy.

[@kmosh8333]

I am so happy I found your channel. We live small and somewhat minimal. We are fortunate to be able to afford quality which allows us to have a smaller quantity. It is nice to relate to a channel.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

That's great to hear. I was doing well with a low consumption life, but gave myself a year to explore skincare & makeup. I needed a refresh after many years of a very minimal routine. It's been great to really figure out what products work for me and how to spend to get the best quality/value balance. However, it's also been very tempting to just keep consuming. This channel helped me realize that there's no benefit to me by continuing to shop regularly. I currently have a lovely makeup collection, and just want to have more fun with it!

[@kmosh8333]

@montananerd8244 exactly. We are on the same page. P.S. I used to live in Montana.

[@natashatrilokekar2435]

I love that you bring up the fact that minimalism is a function of privilege. It shows a lot of insight that many "minimalism" influencers lack. The better my income becomes, the less and the better I can buy too.

[@kmosh8333]

@natashatrilokekar2435 you are absolutely right.

[@MyCleverHandle]

Beautiful! So much information about high-end, high-priced items I'll never see again. Thank you!

[@shelbyanumandla7499]

Off topic, but I love these nails on you! I have enjoyed that set as well. On topic, I like hearing which products appeal to Joe too. I often try to get my husband to use more skincare.

[@susanelizabeth4344]

I’m so happy to see you doing a good old fashioned reckoning! 🎉 Always such a pleasure to watch ❤

[@l.s.8244]

You introduced Rephr skincare to me, and I am now a devotee of their face creams...so thank you!

[@shelleynichols9626]

The Chanticaille packaging has me fully in its clutches 😍

[@hris9214]

Just wanna comment that I love Hannah's outtro... such a clever and warm message :)

[@lisag9036]

Thank you for talking about rephur skincare, I believe their sale is still happening and it’s at least 50% off! I hadn’t heard you mention it before ❤❤❤

[@ParticularlyChar]

The Lisa Eldridge Anais is so close to the Jones Road eyeshadow, it’s so beautiful to wear. For something a touch warmer, Emily is perfect ❤

[@palettesandpans]

I really enjoy these reckoning videos; they're so soothing to watch/listen to. I've been in quite the decluttering mood lately and I think soon it will be time to dig into my makeup collection. Videos like this one are super helpful because some of your considerations for keeping/decluttering an item can help me when assessing my own makeup

[@claudiahansen728]

I love your reckonings! They are such a great reminder that "I can make this work!" is not a reason to keep something for years.

[@amyjohnson4543]

Hey great video as always, I love Versed too, and they have a neat offer, they will take back empties and give a $10 coupon. Plus other brand empties too. Also so right about Rephr, love their skin care and brushes, right now everything is 40% off. Puts the skincare at less than drugstore prices !

[@BallroomJenni]

You blow me away with explaining things and it just makes sense!!

[@hollyclark4518]

I'd love a Rephr Skincare video; and a Sunscreen video...

[@derrickjenniferwatkins1394]

Hi Hannah! Love your classy, peaceful content💕 Lamp oil will remove that pesky sticky glue residue. So will tea tree oil in a pinch 🙂

[@nuchithoj]

That bright yellow in the Urban Decay palette reminds me of the yellow eyeshadow stick that VBB just recently released!

[@MichelleC1974]

Yes, Kackie just used it in a video and it is gorgeous

[@fluteteachermarcie6283]

I cannot with the packaging on the Chantecaille products-maybe they look better in person, but the imagery just looks like stock screen saver photos on a windows 97, haha.

[@marlbboro8091]

To prevent tape from tearing paper after a watercolor session- I will put a hairdryer on it gently and it softens the glue a bit and comes off easily. But on packaging the problem of the glue residue. Removes with rubbing alcohol- just Incase it helps.

[@Reiliferei]

Your reckoning videos have always been a fav, they are always so fun

[@exploringplacesyoutube]

Just wanted to say... Thank you for including the tape peeling 😅 unexpected relaxation

[@annealbaugh919]

If there is residue from the tape you can take rubbing alcohol or a cleaning cleanser and that should help get it off 👍🏻

[@freyaporter99]

I would love to get Joe's opinions or reviews on the skincare he uses! Even if he just tells you and you relay his routine and his thoughts on them, and maybe how he started using them in the first place. I really want to get the men in my life more suncream and skincare things but they have trouble telling me what they actually think of products or what they enjoy for their skin. I feel like hearing Joe's opinions would help that!

[@meikkimymmeli]

I always love your overhead shot videos!

[@DiMagnolia]

There’s a sadistic part of me that wants to see that kosas all over the face topped with the chantecaille tinted moisturizer 😂

[@nataliacostaleite]

😂😂😂😂

[@tukamousa9025]

Maybe do it and film it, but save the footage for an April fools special next year

[@3464jonny]

I hope you enjoy fox. It is my favorite blush the past month

[@BlueEyes-0222]

The Rephyr skincare is great and on sale right now...

[@meredithmacmillan8838]

I can't even explain how happy it made me that you removed all the remaining tape off on camera 🤤That was so satisfying

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I really like the way you talk through each item. ❤

[@julias5980]

I use the lighter version of that rephr moisturizer and am very seriously considering trying the whole range during the sale. I'd like to be able to opt out of the steel key though. It's nice for most of the way down the tube, but as you get up close to the neck, the key actually impedes progress, and I've given up on it. I have all these keys sitting around now.

[@dustythorpe9625]

I am watching your no buy year for the third time, and you are certainly a changed woman! I am in my second year of a no buy simply because I know I’m nowhere near recovered. I want so muck to be the low buy Hannah. Alas I am a mere February 2018 Hannah. Still swimming in debt and choking down the desire to buy.

[@Carab3671]

Omg I have missed these videos so much

[@ampalayuh3190]

omg nice to know know rephr offers skincare, i thought they were a brush brand :O

[@sofie.h]

This was a delightful bit of entertainment while making myself some brunch :) Part of what I value so much about your videos is following your thought process; since this was almost entirely that, I’d love to see more of these!

[@AubryIsland]

Thanks HLP🥰💜

[@elizabethtangora4353]

18:32 I generally don’t like ASMR but that was super satisfying 😅

[@ericahettwer1147]

Love these kind of videos!

[@jillbravo5252]

A Saturday reckoning 🎉🥳💛

[@sadcap]

Weird plug, but I'm someone who always wants to save like, nice bottles and candle jars while taking the brand off it. Goo Gone is INCREDIBLE for it. A little GG and my kitchen scraper gets all the adhesive outta there.

[@queens6583]

Try using a brown lip liner with the Chantecaille lipstick to get the effect you want.

[@AllNoiseHere]

so happy you decided to keep fox! It screams you!

[@celiatambor7205]

We’re getting super close to 100k!!! ✨

[@moonlitdi]

I'd love to see more reckonings!

[@amelie4363]

I'm so not a fan of the Rephr intense hydration cream for all the reasons you love it. The packaging just doesn't work that well unfortunately and it never absorbed on my skin. I'm also not loving the gel cleanser - it's ok but Naturium niacinamide cleansing gelee is a million times better (super gentle and less stripping, more fun texture, removes sunscreen better). The essence however is a win - it's cooling and hydrating and absorbs very well.

[@alittleunimpressed]

i have no clue what joe looks like but any time you mention him i picture a dude wearing harry potter glasses and a turtleneck i don’t need to know what he looks like

[@HannahLouisePoston]

hmm you're honestly not that far off

[@YANEXiLOVE]

I really enjoy this type of video! :)

[@Lynntahl]

I love your nails. 💅🏻

[@witchburr976]

Thanks HLP!! I love your content so much.

I only buy one of everything and use until I run out and start over again. Full face recommendation “packages” would be amazing video content, especially under $100 💕

[@EchoRe]

[@maureentakach3065]

I want to tell you that I ordered two Merit lipsticks (Baby & L'avenue). I needed to try something new.

[@cinemaocd1752]

Awww you should keep the tape on one of Joe's rebrands...his packaging was an improvement on the Urban Decay palette.

[@CatMcCloud]

Hot take: Chantecaille is basically Kiko Milano. Temporary collections in tempting packaging that don’t really stack up to their own hype.

[@makeupeclectic]

I have never thought about this but you are so right.

[@MyCleverHandle]

But I've heard so many KZbinrs who absolutely love Kiko Milano products! Is it just a case of things that really don't have staying power? I'm loving the idea of their gradient powder blushes; please let me know if you think they're not worth the reasonably affordable prices.

[@carols.4252]

Big fan of both of those keeper lip formulas.

[@debrawells-hopey1980]

"Somebody's Dad" 😂💀

[@heavenlyhoneydew]

I couldn’t tell what color you had for the Chantecaille Just Skin Tinted Moisturizer, but have you tried the color Aura? I’m a very pale olive undertone, and I’ve found Aura seems to work beautifully.

[@stephaniec4766]

This tape looks f***ing amazing

[@maryannbecker9666]

As a very pale almost translucent skinned person, I really appreciate your reviews! Strong blush makes me look like a clown.

[@celiatambor7205]

“It’s like someone’s dad designed it” 😂😂

[@annealbaugh919]

Great video thanks 💜🌻✌🏻

[@florag9998]

random question: how is tafting going? do you still do it, or has it had its moment?

[@cjevans6365]

I was only wondering about this the other day… 🤔

[@kmosh8333]

Try electrical tape next time. It is pretty affordable and easier to remove and doesn't leave awful residue.

[@celucero2]

The unexpeced ASMR was oddly satisfying.

[@kelleyvito721]

"Like someone's dad made it!" 😂😂😂😂 I die.

[@rhondakeen96150]

Your new products are having a residency. 😂 great video!!!

[@fave525]

nothing better than new HLP after lunch 😃

[@mrsbinkbonk]

I had the same experience with the Chantecaille skin tint.

[@MoonlitSunflower]

Loving a good old reckoning from HLP I wish those Urban Decay palettes had been better color stories and quality. My heart sang when I saw the smileys.

[@kylafish]

the way you talk about makeup makes me so much more excited about it. makes me want to be much more intentional too😊

[@kathleenm.5086]

Okay kinda love the tape ASMR

[@PBnJenn]

I wonder if the Jones road eyeshadow would work with the NYX glitter glue

[@YaddaYaddaYana]

Man I love your channel and everything you do but the tape peeling is the best thing to have ever happened here. I like squealed with satisfaction

[@The_saltysalmon]

How long do the merit blush balm last on you??

[@maddyfox8545]

Hey group. Can anyone tell me how to do what Hannah mentioned, disinfect an eyeshadow palette? Do you just dab each pan with an alcohol wipe or something else? TIA group.

[@lelalu101]

Using a spray bottle with alcohol is the best way to disinfect

[@EleanorLaneDesign]

Do you ever depot eyeshadows when there is one in a palette you want to keep? Totally agree on the Kosas, it was crazy bad…too dark and then the lightest shade turned me into the Tin Man.

[@sosnow6194]

Keep the jones road 😮😮😮😮 greasy shiny CREASING eye product are gonna be so trendy this year this would be perfect !!!🎉 😢
