Is my 2023 Beautylish Lucky Bag the WORST one EVER?

[@weirdling44]

For the scalp massager, if you use it in the shower, make sure to separate the plastic and silicone parts to let them dry after showering. They can produce mold quickly due to the water/moisture that can accumulate inside (it's hollow inside). I didn't realize mine had the inside covered in mold until it fell on my shower and split open😥.

[@mypathunfolding]

Dang, I need to check mine now - thanks for the tip!!

[@ashleyvashley]

thanks for the advice!

[@sandy5791]

This is a great tip!

[@shendisackett]

LOL I trained as an engineer so the first thing I did was pull it apart to see how it was made. I don't necessarily recommend that approach as my curiosity does occasionally lead to an issue putting things back together 😂😂

[@kimluarks2418]

Not me going to check mine right now!!!

[@christinademaray7588]

The Sonia G brush - for highlighter is what I was immediately thinking. I don't have a lot of lid real estate either. Keep up the good work! Can't live without my WUIM Sundays!!!

[@reneeallred5082]

I thought the same thing. Highlighter brush

[@MsJMac]

I bought my first Lucky Bag regular and mine was so amazing! I got the Wayne Goss lipstick and pencil, a ND cheek duo, the new Danessa M eyeshadow palette, the Sonia G large powder brush, a holifrog and a good molecules full size skincare product! I couldn’t ask for a better box!

[@MoreCoffeePlease.]

Aw, I remember watching these when your kids were younger, taking turns revealing products they had no idea about. 🤣 So happy to see them looking happy. Also, please tell Phoenix they are shining bright. ☀️

[@squeakyrabbit]

It's lovely that Jen included a recent photo of them.

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Beautiful children Jen!❤😊

[@kristenlee2877]

I got the Natasha denona glam pallete in my $75 box!!! I have never bought ND because I couldn’t justify the price but I was thrilled to get it!!

[@libertychic8926]

I have a scalp massager. I use it with my shampoo in the shower! It's really good for your scalp! Promotes hair growth too! I use it for at least 60 seconds in a hurry but if not in a hurry, 5 mins. Some cultures do it for 5 mins every day and their hair is beautiful, healthy and long!

[@jenluv]

*GIVEAWAY UPDATE* Congratulations to our winner, Kristin! Along with the items shown in this video, I'm mailing her some Chocolate Covered Cherry marshmallows (from Mad Marshmallows) as well as some skincare goodies for her skin type and some makeup goodies for her teenage daughter. I hope to do another giveaway soon! Thank you to everyone who entered!

[@carlyleyt]

I talked myself out of it this year, cause… I really prefer to just get what I want nowadays and I already have A LOT… might as well avoid duplicates~

[@LydiaTarine12]

A brush like that is good for highlighter and for very targeted powder placement (like the under eye). It can be very good for liquid concealer as well if the concealer is very spreadable and pigmented.

[@hazardsigns]

I'd say the Sonya G brush is for highlighter. The shape looks just like my Nabla brush and it gives me gorgeous cheeks every time. Though I use the side, rather than the tip.

[@shellbell1974]

Your the first creator to not feel luck and I understand…everybody else(the ones I watched)who didn’t like their bag in the title I feel was just clickbaity and the bags were much better than they are claiming. Your children are BEAUTIFUL and John seems great so despite the Lucky Bag…you are still very lucky so don’t let this get you down!!!xoxoxo

[@deirdreescobar8108]

I tried to get one and they sold out while I was checking out my cart. I’m actually not disappointed after seeing other unboxings. I think not getting the lucky box was more lucky.

[@bethtriesmakeup7021]

I use that Sonia G brush for either an all-over wash of color on my eyelid or for a first color to set primer. You could also use it for powder to set concealer.

[@jackiejenson]

Your kids are SO cute!!!! Love seeing them grow. 🥰

[@CarrieCraftGeek]

3:24 I love my scalp massager. I used it to clean my scalp when washing my hair. So much easier than using my fingers. And since using it my hair dresser has talked about healthy my scalp is.

[@RealSigmaQueen]

I’ve watched a few of these now. I’m at least impressed that they seem to try and make a cohesive box. Most people get an eyeshadow palette, blush or highlighter, and a lipstick.

[@LifeWithFiddle]

I wonder if the lucky bags were not that exciting or "lucky" this year because to me 2022 makeup releases were not that exciting...🤔

[@lightfragmentsauracle]

Highlighter and makeup artists use brushes like that to gently swirl in the concealer.

[@sarahhutcherwalker]

My partner has a dry scalp, so I got him a scalp massager for Christmas, and I got a pack of two for like $8 on Amazon 😂I kept one for myself, of course! I use it with shampoo in the shower, but I found that I have to put the shampoo on my head first; if I try to put it on the massager, it doesn't go to my scalp. So at that point, a regular DIY scalp massage does the same thing. So, not a bad product, but not really a necessary one, either. Definitely not worth Briogeo prices.

[@bobstein771]

Omg your kiddos are all grown up!!!! Send them our love!❤❤❤

[@shannonquinn]

Well poo! That stinks for you. I missed seeing Phoenix and John, but the photo was a nice touch to include them in the video in a way. 🥰. Take care!!

[@DivaandtheDivine]

I have one of the scalp massagers. I have weak fingers due to disability, so I got one to help me work my shampoo into my scalp and I LOVE it.

[@jbriggsstuff]

This was my first Lucky bag. I purchased the XL bag and I was thrilled with some stuff like the Sonia G limited edition Hinoki brush duo that retails for $120, Oribe body creme, and a viseart quad that was recently released and i have wanted to purchase along with a MOB blush. I received a Wayne Goss lipstick and lip liner that really isn't my shade or I would've kept it and the Hindash Monochromance palette, which I don't have but really wanted a Wayne Goss eyeshadow palette. At least i didn't receive any products that I already own and I have a very large collection. I went on the beautylish website and totaled everything and it came to $311. There were a few other things as well.

[@Chelbsn]

I wish this had been better for you! It's a great giveaway!! I have watched you open lucky bags for many years. I'm so glad you are planning on continuing with this tradition!

[@cailinanne]

I use that scalp thingy with shampoo and I will never go back. It makes such a difference without messing with your nails.

[@ayceleijae]

The detail brush is one of my favorite brushes, I use it to powder my undereyes/lids and then after eyeshadow I go around the edges to smooth everything out!

[@KatiesCorneroftheWorld]

For someone who is just getting started in makeup or someone with a small collection, this would be a great bag.

[@stumples30]

I would use the brush to set my under eyes! To lay down a soft layer of powder on my 45+ under eye area, brushes like this work wonders.

[@SandyDiVa]

6:58 same, no lid space here…i would use that for either highlight or (more likely) applying powder under they eyes so i dont apply too much.

[@SincerelyLGS]

This is The 1st year in 5 I believe that i haven't bought this bag. I haven't been into makeup lately. Or subscription boxes I kind of got bored of beauty... blame it on covid.. . i think i put make up on probably once a month. In saying all of that, I'm excited about watching your video. The beauty lish lucky bag video is one of the very 1st videos I've watched of yours 6 years ago.. we got to see your babies grow up with the beautylish videos. . Hopefully the bag is not a dud and a waste of your money. ❤️❤️

[@ellemarr7234]

I’m right there with you. I love my makeup in theory but it doesn’t excite me like it did before the panini

[@kathrynberryman2457]

I have a scalp massager that I use with shampoo in the shower. I love it.

[@marlbboro8091]

❤️ your kids are gorgeous! I can see both of you in them. Precious.

[@audiochicky]

My box was almost exactly the same except instead of the Sonia G brush I got a set of the Units face brushes (the ones with the orange handles) and instead of the Hindash palette I got a Charlotte Tillbury Easy Eye palette. Also, the Wayne Goss lip products and the MOB products were different shades but otherwise the same. I was happy with mine!

[@jenniferfernandez8764]

Your kids are absolutely GORGEOUS!

[@GinaGrowe]

LOL! I use the scalp massager on my husband's cat - I got one in a beauty box and immediately tried it out on her...she loves it.

[@tinglefixasmr1190]

I've watched you under my personal account since you've been sitting on your porch doing videos 😘 I got very different big items in my box this year, and I LOVED it! I know you like ASMR (I've watched the few you made many times!).I just put mine up for the year and gave you a shout-out and link in the description. Thanks for all the videos, weekly news is my favorite, but I love Lucky Bag 🎒 season!

[@ruthsimpson8436]

I'd the beautylish ,it's fun to see what you get,even if it's a so-so box,that's a risk you take,other types of mystery bags/boxes are fun to,sometimes you might only get 1 or 2 new things,but it allows you to try maybe brands you haven't tried or heard of before❤

[@taramonette286]

Scalp scrubber is fantastic. Use with a pre-wash hair oil to work in your scalp and also with shampoo. You’ll love it.

[@Sarah_RDG]

I would use that brush shape for highlighter, but I have a small face- but that's my favorite shape and size for a nice targeted highlight.

[@figurista_blog]

I would use this brush for highlighter

[@RP_76]

I've never been able to snag one, but I love watching everyone open theirs up!! So sweet seeing the kids so little, my guy is 9 hard to believe.

[@Christine-49]

so far, the bigger bag has been so much better than the smaller bag for everyone. I have never gotten one of these but got on the waitlist for this year. I guess it is always a risk!

[@melanymclean5341]

I use a brush like that with loose powder to set my under eyes. I find it helps me not put too much powder in that area. Hope you find a use for it ❤

[@lisag4588]

I'd be excited to get the Wayne Goss lipstick and liner. I think his makeup line looks lovely.

[@madgirlintown1994]

I think that brush size is perfect for highlighting!

[@melissaz6778]

Just got mine today (Australia). I'm disappointed in it. *Mob blush with holder. I sat for around 20 minutes trying to get the blush to fit and my nail ended up going through it and still not fitting. I had to look up a video on how to use the packaging. Ridiculous. *Hindash palette that I already have *Wayne Goss lipstick and pencil. I think I already own both but they are wearable so I don't mind the spare too much. *R+Co hair product that I probably won't use *Good Molecules oil I'd probably use in winter *Sonia G blending brush...yay! Actually happy about that one.

[@ashtangle]

I'd use that shape of brush for under eye powder or highlighter. I love ND face pallettes and use a brush like that when I want to layer all the highlighters.

[@JayceeElle]

There seems to be similar items in all the lucky bag unboxings I've seen this year, especially that monochromance palette.

[@barose1]

I purchased my scalp massager from Amazon at 2 for

[@Nikkilou36]

I love my scalp thing lol I use mine in the shower when I wash my hair. Thank you for the opportunity for the giveaway 💜💜

[@barbr100]

I recently started using a scalp massager when shampooing. Got mine on Amazon 2 for 8:99. Also, MOB is a good brand. I believe it was started by the creators of MAC. I have a full palette of their shadows which are of excellent quality.

[@jennypettersson]

The scalp massager can help with hair growth. I use my on dry hair about 3 min every night to get the blood flowing.

[@saramarie7984]

I love MOB beauty! They carry it at our credo in SF. It’s awesome quality and eco friendly. It’s a score!

[@mindyappleton3752]

I haven’t been purchasing much as of recently, so everything in the video piqued my interest. It seems so odd to watch this video and you are the star. I didn’t realize how long I’ve been watching you.

[@holliehoward5484]

I always think about ordering a lucky bag but am afraid of the disappointment 😂😂

[@aundrealauzon]

Aw Jen, I'm sorry you didn't get really lucky bag. It's such a bummer when you get repeats. The Sonia G brush is great, but when it's not functional for you, then it's no use to you right! What a bummer. But I know it will make somebody very happy receiving them in the giveaway. Good luck everyone.

[@TrinaMadeIt]

That Sonia g brush is the perfect highlighter brush for me.

[@fefetines9414]

My daughters are obsessed with their scalp massagers. They bought some on amazon for under $10.

[@Heather_A1]

I had completely forgotten this past December about the bags! I've seen a few boxes (the largest) with the latest Danessa Myricks palette Lightwork Vol IV! Hindash seems more wearable for my career. lol

[@paulinerogers9232]

I received all the same as you except for the pallet, mine was a Charlotte Tilbury. I was very happy, but this is only the second time I purchased so don’t have a lot to compare to. My daughter got the XL box and it was definitely worth it to me…two eye pallets, one Tom Ford and one Natasha Denona.

[@tnecifelam]

I think the Sonia G brush would be great for highlighter. I usually use those types of brushes for highlighter and they work wonderfully. Plus if it's not firm, it will be great for blending out so the highlighter is not just one stripe on the face

[@hyldrklein451]

I have a similar looking brush from elf as that Sonia G one and I love using it as a highlighter brush. If it has similar density, then it should work nicely for that. Another possible use would be for when you want to "reinforce" very specific points in your face with powder ie. if you get oily in the middle of your cheek area or under your lip but you don't want to cake up other places.

[@aprillovesjulio]

The Sonia G brush I would use for either highlighter or undereye

[@emoo2342]

I have two scalp massagers-one, I use dry. It’s electronic (although waterproof) and I use it atop a bonnet or satin scarf just for the gentle rotation because it feels good, but I don’t want tangles. The second is a silicone one from Dollar Tree and I love using it with my shampoo. I always passed on the Briogeo one due to price. I’ve tried many of their products and they’ve just never been worth it full price for the amount of hair on my head.😅

[@carolinacoto8534]

I bought a scalp massager for 5$ in Marshall's 🫢.

[@larkmacgregor3143]

I use my scalp scrubber in the shower with shampoo, then rinse it and use it to work in my conditioner, too.

[@Tyraluvs]

I use that brush for setting my concealer with my setting powder. It’s one of my most used brushes. I’m sorry you got the same palette. I got a lucky bag if you wanna watch mine. ❤❤❤❤

[@sandyvandy6483]

I use that type of Sonia G brush for my setting powder. Less is more. I dab it under the eye, around my nose. Doesn’t pick up or deposit too much product.

[@sandy5791]

I stopped getting them when I received one bag with two face primers...haha. (I know it's part of the risk but I was bummed.) Excited to see what you got! Awww sorry that you already had your big item! I do think the Sonia G could make a nice highlighter brush. Hmm...you'll have to keep us posted!

[@kallixtii]

Bawwwww, your kiddos are so cute! They've gotten so big!

[@TikkaHorse]

I'd use that brush for precision highlighter application, most highlighter brushes are too big to get it only where I want it and not just all over my whole cheek.

[@pamelahammonds8418]

I bought scalp massager from Amazon for less than 10 bucks. It's one piece so no mold worries. I love it and use it with my shampoo.

[@Beautydemos]

The clip with your young kids is so adorable!!

[@dannielleillig7683]

I’ve always wanted to do those bags,but when I see videos I usually have the palette. I saw someone got the Natasha Denona Glam palette….🤐 I just need to buy the Sonia Brushes themselves instead of pining over these bags!❤

[@rantygobshyte8219]

I love a scalp massager, I use it in the bath to scrub the shampoo in. I got the older Hindash palette, which though wasn't something I'd ever buy, I was glad it wasn't the colour one, as I have all the colours... I also got a tiny ND palette. Was very happy with the Wayne Goss lipstick, as I have another and I love the formula. Palette was a nice change though as for the last 3 years I've got Charlotte Tilbury, 😂

[@mariannebrasch6729]

You can use the Sonia G brush for applying highlighter!

[@JessicaCEP]

I got danessa myricks light works four, chantecaille neon butthole, Wayne goss stuff, a random hindash color fluid in canvas that isn’t available on either site and is actually my exact skin color, a hair clip, a verb spray…I never would have bought that palette cause it’s so expensive, was kinda hoping for a basic b Anne palette from Charlotte tillbury…oh, I 🎉forgot the Sonia g blush brush..pretty good..

[@susanpeltier3333]

I use my scalp massager to scrub in my shampoo & conditioner, and I love it!

[@nixr6]

I got one of those scalp massagers from Shop Miss A for $1.88. It works great! I use it with shampoo and conditioner.

[@beeyowarski8710]

Really enjoy these unboxings! This box would have been worth it to me, as I don't own any of those products. I hope you can find a good use for the stuff or pass them on to someone who will. 😃 😊

[@a.k.v.3042]

I love my scalp massager, and yes, I use it with shampoo - I use bar shampoo not liquid - I expect it works just as well or better for liquid shampoo. I think I got it at TJ Maxx for maybe $5? $6? Something like that.

[@disgruntledmoderate5331]

Your kiddos are so cute! I have a scalp massager, and I do use it with shampoo. I have dry scalp, and I feel like it helps with that as well as feeling good.

[@lisasmellie1264]

The palette looks beautiful and always like Sonya g brushes..all the other stuff not so much

[@bbyjscx]

I would use that brush for under eye powder or highlight

[@chericespieces]

It was an ok box. Would I be happy with items most likely. Because I just love trying brands I haven't gotten to be able to use before.

[@dawncowan1553]

I would not have been excited either. Although that palette is pretty.😊

[@mindfulsnidee]

I like that you calculate your personal value, that's how I usually do it for myself with mystery boxes. I also would have been disappointed with this box because I have almost all of those products and I do not want the palette because I heard it gets hard pan. Still waiting for mine so fingers crossed it's different!

[@AKbaby89]

Dang, ive always wanted to try the Hindash palettes, but I feel so bad that you're getting such a high amount of items you already own Omg and the brush?! Ive always wanted to try her brushes! Oooo 🤞🤞

[@TrinaMadeIt]

I use my scalp massager when I have conditioner in my hair to massage my scalp.

[@moriganna67ify]

You can use the blending brush as a highlighter brush. I have a brush that is similar.

[@lynn01]

I love yours better than mine. I really wanted the hindash pallet. I unfortunately 😕 will not be getting the box next year .

[@BlingyBea]

Hi Jen, I’ve been buying a box for the last 6 years, I think out of all of them I was disappointed in just one but it’s a gamble every year for me. This year I got another good box, got a ND pallet I’ve been wanting. I got that ND My Dream Pallet, Holifrog gel cleanser, Good Molecules face oil, Wayne Goss Lipstick and lipliner, Viseart duo blush pallet, and a Sonia G Flat Definer brush. My value was $211. The lipstick and liner were a light nude so I’m giving that to my niece. That Sonia G brush is excellent for setting small areas on your face, concealer, perfect or highlighter❤

[@PurpleReign1401]

I have a head massager I keep in the shower I use it to scrub my scalp with shampoo.

[@jeanpaulsabella589]

I use my scapl massager with shampoo or with my scalp hair growth oil mask

[@amanda.burkey]

The eye brush that you're not sure what to do with, I normally use those for highlight or spot powder around the nose or under eye

[@mariaf7769]

I get tempted by these videos but then I forget the bags each year lol. I've seen some that were wow! & others were meh. The Littles have grown! I remember seeing them help you do these a few years ago. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@booksandbeautyfortheages]

My lucky bag was also not so lucky. I was unimpressed. I got a Sonia G pencil brush 😊

[@ring2640]

I have a scalp massager like the briogeo one and #1) that’s an outrageous price for one #2) I use it with shampoo because it’s good for my dandruff

[@aaronbala21]

I know this is random but a few videos back you mentioned the new mac hyper real skin care line, I would love to see an in depth ingredient review from you !!

[@jenniferdubay3769]

Try to use the brush to blend in concealer. Absolutely
