Makeup: on point Reviews: trustworthy Long video: 🎉yay!🎉

[@Peanut_taco_muffin]

Im a cosmetic chemist, working for a beauty brand currently and have previously worked for five others, and just wanted to comment on the glossy lip liner idea. The reason why glossy lip liners aren’t really a thing is two-fold: the first being the lasting power. A gloss physically cannot last as long as a matte product. The basic chemistry doesn’t allow for that (matte can’t have much slip in order to cling to skin and gloss has to have slip to reflect light). The second is the fact that outlining lips with a glossy product means you are working with a product that (also due to basic chemistry) will travel- it won’t stay put. So you’ll end up with gloss above the lip line, which tends to look messy. Basically, glossy liners are glossy lip crayons.

[@AAAAAHFGHFH]

cause they are waxy ?

[@beauty_enthusiast]

I love these reviews bc it’s the difference between “yeah, it’s ok - you might love it” and “you shouldn’t have to live without this” is really discerning and worth its weight in gold. I don’t want to spend my money on products that don’t blow me away (she says as she switches out the three SF lip oils for the OH ones) 😘

[@doha4258]

about the tower 28 lip softies, it would appear that one of their main ingredients is shea butter! shea butter melts easily at body temp and crystallises into gritty bits as it cools back down. you need to keep them out of the sun and out of your palm or pocket.... which is EXTREMELY high maintenance. to fix it you can try disrupting the cooling process (squishing the tube while it cools) or placing in the fridge/freezer after its melted down to cool it quickly.

[@parkedawn]

Shea butter is not my friend!

[@alyssamarescalco1431]

I have another one that is like that! Ugh I hate that now I know what it is I’m gonna just get another one

[@FinnySpam]

@@parkedawn my skin hates shea butter. and coconut oil. most natural oil/fat based products like that make me break out like a bish! im all for more synthetic/"unclean" (blegh to that term tho) ingredients bc of it haha silicones and glycerin and petroleum jelly based products are my faves for moisture in hair and skin! vanicream and cerave creams the thick ones in the pump jars has been my go to moisturizer for a couple years now, the only ones that dont make me break out like a bitch while also moisturizing my skin enough and also soaking right in and they don't leave a greasy feel even if i put several layers on.

[@FinnySpam]

altho if anyone has any recommendations for something even more moisturizing than vanicream and the cerave heavy cream, pls let me know!! i dont like having to take the time to put several layers of moisturizer on multiple times a day in the winter. my skin doesn't do the oil thing, like at all. i sweat a ton but like. its like the kind that just evaporates to cool you down and dries your skin out if you leave it there too long, not the oily kind. if i do the "finger swipe test" wher eyou wash your face witha gentle face wash, then no other skin care and swipe a clean finger on certain spots on your face and see how much oil comes off, i don't get any visible oil on my figner til around the 16 hour mark, and only on my chin right under my lip and under where my glasses sit. otherwise to get oil on my finger without moisturizing i need to wait like a full 24 hours. my cheeks never becoem visibly oily to the naked eye tho, even after like a week of depresso bed time.

[@JaxDianne]

Thank you for giving honest feedback in a laidback way. It’s so refreshing to not feel purchase pressure. I know which ones are truly good. Seriously. Thanks.

[@TracyD2]

It’s true. Especially with all the Sephora sale videos with affiliate links. I won’t watch them. My 10% off is nothing compared to sales individual companies will give out.

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Lauren, you are the only KZbinr who speaks my language in terms of light & shimmer! I always know exactly what you mean & appreciate the detail you give us! I spent 20 years waiting to get eyeshadows with this much shine, no amount of detail is too much lol

[@gingerhalo123]

Lol your sparkle animal pillow in the back is so cute

[@bettawitch4606]

You are one of only 3 beauty influencers I trust and watch these days. 😊

[@passionfruits107]

Who else do you watch? Looking for recs :)

[@awesomesauce754]

Psa, don’t keep the dermalogica in the shower. It has to stay super dry or it will mold.

[@belindafischer2920]

How do you know that, did it happen to you?

[@AnjaliDandriyal]

I keep my daily microfoliant in the shower and I've never had issues with mould. I even had the tatcha rice powder in the shower for a good couple of years, and no mould. Maybe you got a bad batch, or do you not close the lids tightly?

[@andreamarksberry345]

I am shook to find out that some eye creams aren’t for the entire eye area! I always use mine on my eyelid, up to my brow, on my under eye and the outer eye! I’m going to have to look more into that! I wonder if that’s part of the reason my eyelids are getting more textured!

[@shendisackett]

I just had major surgery so my skincare has been super basic for a few weeks. My eyelids were also getting a weird texture, not using eye cream has made them look better. In future I'll stick to the brow area and under the eye, I'm 45 so I thought I needed it, especially as a makeup artist ages ago said I had dry skin there, I really don't think I do, perhaps it was a bad day!

[@emilyw842]

Most are not. Cliniques eye creams are ophthalmologist tested, which means they can be used on entire eye area. All About Eyes is fabulous all over the eye area. It's so comforting and smoothing.

[@shendisackett]

@@emilyw842 I used to use that years ago. I really like Clinique, their lids, lashes, lips is the best eye makeup remover out there.

[@pyro3rsx]

As an old makeup girlie. Tarte used to make blush sticks like the milk ones back in the day. You’d think they would bring them back with the popularity of the blush sticks

[@SoggyPinkyToe]

you must put sooo much effort into these videos 🥲🩷 thank you as always

[@lisak7997]

FANTASTIC!!! You rock on the B-rolls too ❤ Thank you so much for sharing.

[@kerriwright4593]

I have a banana flavored lanolips or whatever it's called. I assumed it'd be clear on. I'd blindly load my dry lips up with the balm. One day i caught a glimpse in the mirror, and the yellow hue almost looked like i had an infection or something 😂

[@belindafischer2920]

What brand was that? The Treat lip balms are soooo good!

[@quinlantaylor04]

Your eye look is so pretty! I love the pop of blue in the inner corner

[@Happyavery]

6:55 About the tenth concealer: for me personally, this is the best concealer I’ve used probably ever? My skin is super pale, super dry, and super sensitive. Never had I encountered a concealer too white for me (which is amazing in its own right) but I also find it stupidly difficult to find one that just matches my skin tone enough to wear alone without a full base overtop. I have two colors of this and wear them EVERYTIME I do my makeup. The coverage is great for my under eyes and cheeks and basically anywhere, not amazing coverage for spot concealing though. It’s so thin and light so it doesn’t irritate my skin after a long day of wear. The finish is so smooth and seamless without being drying or crackling or clinging! I usually just set with a translucent powder and setting spray before I go out and it wears great for what I need 👍 solid 9/10 from me. Just somethings to consider for the other sensitive girlies

[@Penelope_Says]

This is the exact rundown & mini review of products I needed. Your honesty is always so appreciated. ❤

[@kristasweetleaf5695]

Lauren GET the Cheriosa 59 lotion and pair them. I stg it's like vanilla icing! As soon as I applied this combo I literally thought Lauren would go absolutely crazy for this!! 💕

[@marymassengale5400]

I wish I got vanilla icing lol. That scent is straight up a woody floral to me 😅

[@BuyLessJess]

Preferences are so unique, your description of the Fenty Cherry Lip Balm makes me want it. I like those gritty balms that melt on the lips. Thank you for this video of thorough reviews!

[@julie13789]

i can imagine this video took several hours to film, so i am SO appreciative of you for doing it! this type of video is my absolute favorite, kinda just like you said at the end, “makeup chatter in the background.” i came back to this video i think 4 times before i finished it. love love love your reviews always!

[@parkedawn]

I love the way you describe and talk about textures because I feel the same! As for products that can give milia, I've noticed products that have Shea in it does this for me.

[@celinabond]

Same! And coconut!

[@aprilrich807]

This long video absolutely made my very early Sunday morning, Lauren - thank you! Side note-try the Glossier eye cream on one eye, and your favorite on the other; do that for a few weeks and then you should be able to tell what’s going on.

[@allyshamagee2331]

Layer cherosa 59 with Missing Person. I get so many compliments 😭💜

[@scrapbook36]

Lauren you should think about the Prequel Gleanser it’s amazing and the whole line is about barrier building and protecting. . Luv the reviews and your honesty is so needed . Thank you 🙏 truely Lauren we all love you and your channel and community.

[@tigermilkkkk2199]

Fun seeing this comment! I literally just got the Gleanser 3 days ago and I really LOVE IT!!!!!! it's a fabulous cleanser, I'm soooo grateful that all the positive reviews were accurate💜💜 their prices aren't outrageous, I also got their 'basic' moisturizer and it's equally as fab, great texture & doesn't upset my winter-dry skin. love that it's affordable & large enough that i don't feel guilty using it on my body! def want to try more products lol, but excited to find such great products i'm excited for prequel lol

[@lindsaykar5477]

I was so excited for the cotton candy lip mask but I finally made it to Sephora yesterday to smell and it and it smells so similar to the gummy bear (purple) that I’ve been working my way through for a year+ LOL oh well I saved $25

[@JensenWinchester1]

💯it was my first laneige product/lip sleeping mask and I love all things cotton candy and don't get me wrong, I don't hate the product, but the smell is absolutely NOT cotton candy.

[@onceuponamakeupbrush]

Glossier stretch concealer causes milia under my eyes soooooo totally possible the eye cream has similar ingredients

[@leahduplantis561]

The Caliray come hell or high water tubing mascara is my holy grail. I can only use tubing mascaras and most give me 4-5 lashes. Lol. This one still gives me the volume I want.

[@Labbfreak]

Yes! Bought the Caliray after another creator’s recommendation & it’s such a great formula - juicy but not clumpy and actually tubing.

[@SpitOnMyNick]

Its my birthday and ive been sick all day in bed and missing my late dad, i needed this❤

[@abeautifulmessofficially]

The Moira single shadow you showed almost looks closer to the Urban Decay Moondust shadow in Lithium instead of Space Cowboy. I’d be interested to see how close they are. Love your videos!!! ❤

[@MothMac]

I haven't been watching your channel very long but you are quickly becoming a favorite! I love how clear you are on how you describe the products and that you always give us the why you feel the way you do about a product without being overly negative or hyper positive. Just funny and to the point. Plus you always have the best eyelooks that are colorful and sparkly but still very wearable. Love! ❤

[@adriennebrown8479]

Okay but how is she so pretty! 😍

[@Jenny.100]

New follower here! I LOVE these thoughrough reviews, a discussion of WHY you like/dislike something and what alternate product one can use instead for whatever reason. Angie does this too. And Hannah Louise Poston. And a lot of others. And yes, the videos goes on for about a lifetime (and I don´t have the time to watch them all), but they are way more helpful than "it´s nice, buy it, thanks, bye!". Now I plan to scroll through your content and watch a few more videos before life needs to be lived again. 💚

[@ironicallyfit518]

Did not disappoint ❤ that Saie blush looks beautiful on you 😮

[@blendofdays]

I saw someone say that the kosas BB burst feels like lip balm on the face! I was intrigued up until that lol. My dry skin might love it but it sounds like a nightmare! 😅

[@emilyw842]

I love the new Kosas BB burst. I'm 62 with good, normal skin. I tried it over clean, prepped skin using my fingers. It was ok. I tried it over clean prepped skin and my favorite warm weather sunscreen Paula's Choice Super-Light Daily Wrinkle Defense SPF 30 using a damp sponge and it is AMAZING. It covers my broken capillaries on my cheeks, smooths and perfects my skin, is buildable yet does not look like a face of makeup. I set with a light loose powder, UD allnighter in translucent. This does not get oily on my t-zone, doesn't dry out my cheeks or around mouth which can be an issue after all day wear. It says nice looking and doesn't wear off my nose, which happens with just about any other foundation. I use an oil free but not a gel moisturizer underneath. I think gels or water gel-creams would be good underneath this. I think it would be great over a primer too. I hated the previous Kosas shimmery thing and also hated the spf she mentioned. I recommend trying this. Get a sample from Sephora and try it a few ways. Definitely worked the best using a damp sponge regardless of the products underneath.

[@gigi2k326]

I'm going to have to restart this bc idk what you've said bc I'm staring at this eyelook! Gorgeousness!!

[@acaciairving]

I’ve gone through a bottle of cloudberry. I love it but I’m very dry. I use it twice a day. It’s been great.

[@AmberOrtolano]

omg I have a few of the Make Beauty blushes (I adore them) and those eyeshadows literally look like the same exact size 😳 I wish they made the eyeshadows half the size, and half the price lol

[@runningwithchickens]

It sounds like we might have similar skin types, I started using the prequel glenser and I really think it’s helping the dry parts of my face

[@kaburzynski]

Please compare the squeezy lip balms!!! And please compare Naturium, Rhode, Nudestix in there too since not as many compare those brands.

[@InsomniaticBeauty]

sephora collection has their rouge gel lip liners you should give those a try they’re also a shinier formula for a lip liner !!

[@laurieann2714]

I was also disappointed with the Fenty concealer. I am 58 and find even a dot is like I did the 2017 triangle method with my concealer. I used my usual skincare and foundations that work. It still looked so thick and drying. I thought it was me!

[@samanthahernandez6286]

Everyone I watch has tried that Kosas BB Cream and no one has liked it. Not even my dry skin people I watch have liked it. You are not alone.

[@TheGlamorousNest24]

I’m so glad you mentioned the Ole Henrisken cocoa scent being metallic/ 🩸 like!! I put it on my lips and could not believe, thought my mind way playing tricks. The strawberry is so good but man I was hoping for such a good chocolate my cocoa scent 😢

[@xxSeishuku]

I dont own the Make eyeshadows but they look similar in pigment and finish to the Sydney Grace eyeshadows I own

[@dm96177]

The colourpop shadows would be a great dupe! I have some that were similar shades but actually have more shine and reflect

[@myradavis1139]

thank you for talking about the Ole Henriksen lip pouts!! i absolutely love the formula. favorite actually hydrating gloss i’ve ever used! totally beats summer fridays in my opinion the fact they are a few bucks cheaper, few commonly available not constantly sold out and they are available at ulta which for me is more accessible than a sephora, especially a stand alone sephora to grab a summer fridays

Hi commenters, can someone tell me what are reasonable expectations of lip oils? Are u meant to get a long lasting colour stain once theyve absorbed in or are they meant to stay glossy until it wears down over a couple of hours? Or is it supposed to be a longer lasting, more nurishing alternative to gloss? Or like an overnight lip mask but with colour? Im not sure what it should be doing to know what is good or not?! I cant see how anyone can be satisfied with 'mediocre' at more than $20. I need to LOVE it if it's got that price tag.

[@eponinesg]

Omg! I think you're too young for this, but back in like...2006ish, MAC had lipglass pencils and they were awesome! I hope more lines bring back a gloss pencil, I'd grab them all lol

Thank you as always for your honest reviews. I am actually wanting to try one that didn't float your boat.

Lauren you have to try bath and body works sweet Thailand fragrance ITS INCREDIBLE, typically I don’t care for their fruity scents they just tend to be the same, tropical and a bit artificial or cocktail-like but this fragrance (that for some reason their not making a body cream too) is amazing. It’s soooo sweet and almost candy like. I’m literally obsessed my only con is that it’s not really potent or long lasting but my goodness the scent is to die for
