Can I just say a HUGE thank you for showing up close pictures of your unfiltered skin. I'm so used to seeing these filtered, photoshopped, perfected pictures that when my skin looks "normal" (like your close up pics) I think I've done something wrong or that the product isn't working for me when it's just pores and texture that everyone has (but we never see online) Your skin looks flawless during the videos so seeing the up close pics really helps me to see that it's lighting and all that. I'm in my 40s, just gotten into skincare and makeup in the last few years and honestly have a hard time telling when things have been filtered/touched up. When I first got into makeup/skincare I beat myself up so bad because my looks didn't look like the looks I was copying and my face looked so textured and old, my self esteem really took a hit.

I think that, no, that one sustainable makeup company isn’t going to change the world, but the more these ideas are implemented the better. In order to make a big difference, lots of little changes need to be made first so I think this is a good thing and I hope they succeed!

I honestly see this like the expresso maker and the Keurig they have the option to. I do believe people are going to buy this and have no intention of actually going through the process of recycling. I can't wait to see the words Bio degradable what do they mean by that and how long will it take to actually decompose these are questions should honestly be answered answered before putting a product on the market.

[@KG9551]

@@alittleoddme1940 I agree, a way to make it so people don’t have to mail the product back and forth, which has a huge carbon footprint in itself is also an issue

@@KG9551 Exactly on that note and how sustainable and recyclable is this package. Look at that hair care bottle that looked like cardboard but when you cut it open the inside was plastic. And not to be a complete downer but people may not like this product and have no way of actually putting it in recycling bin Because in the US that isn't always an option.

[@swesttttt]

I’d have rather seen then offer refills for the containers in biodegradable packaging at a cheaper cost. Subscription models are never in the best interest of a consumers wallet. And while stainless is a decent packaging option, glass bottles of all three of those products already exist and are good options without the double transport issues.

I think the refillable tubes is a good idea, but it may only work if they partner up with a very well-known cosmetic brand that already has a broad customer base

[@coffeeandcurls2012]

Me too, especially products that are constantly rebought . Things like liner, mascara, brow pencils , and foundation. I don't know about other people but I have like 1 of each of those. I don't see the point in having a punch of mascara tubes from different brands if I have one that I like.

[@avapodyl4954]

I absolutely love About Face, I’ve been buying stuff from them since they launched. I like how they promote that makeup is art and doesn’t have to be “perfect”.

[@dhrachth1]

I think they need standardize packaging between lines. Like all Estee Lauder brands use the same bottles with different labels. Then they have recycling drop offs at retailers for a bottle return credit and the bottles can be sterilized, relabeled, and reused. If everything from a big corporate brand could be recycled, that'd be a significant reduction in waste.

Wende Zomnir did NOT found Urban Decay. She was a hired face of Urban Decay after its creation by 2 executive women that were older, Sandy Lerner and Patricia Holmes, because they needed someone to publicly encapsulate their vision for the brand. She was nowhere near the mansion when they were mixing what would become their signature color (the inception of the company).

[@katiemower5612]

My husband made me rewind and listen to the news of Blackstone buying the sunscreen skincare line. He is a mechanical engineer working in defense and he said Blackstone owns most of the banks and there's a lot of conspiracies about them because they keep a VERY low profile. They tend to buy controlling interest in lots of companies so it doesn't get them as much notice if they were to buy them outright. He said "The fact that they bought a makeup company just tells me they're in everything!" I get Hugh Jackman being involved because he had Basel cell skin cancer removed from his nose and had told everyone on his socials to wear sunscreen.

Urban Decay was my go to for years. When it started going more neutral and getting a bit lost, my mum picked it up for the consistency of having a reliable range of nudes and a good formula. Now neither of us can use their products; her because they stopped making their classic shadow colours, me because I'm sensitive to the oils in the new formula (and also, what even are they selling sometimes?). The last Urban Decay I bought was just as they were changing their formula, and was on a super steep discount at a time when I needed a "boring work brown" shade of lipstick. That my last UD product ever is a basic brown lipstick is just... sad.

[@Cloreads]

There are a lot of vit c primers and tinted moisturizers out now, but I'm always a bit confused because I thought you had to put sunblock on after vit c for sensitivity.

[@HadridarMatramen]

Not a dermatologist or beauty chemist or anything, so I don't KNOW. But I'd go out on a limb and say it's fine because a) you're supposed to use sunscreen every day, and reapply it regularly ANYWAY, and b) because on top of all your skincare, it might be debatable how much of the vit c in makeup actually penetrates the skin. I learned, years ago, that if you use vit c, it will leave your skin extra photosensitive for about a week after your last application, so if that's correct, you'll have to use sunscreen every day because of that even if you only put on vit c products once a week. So I'm gonna guess that is why it's fine in makeup; your skin should already BE protected by SPF all day anyway.

[@DinkyInky2]

That, and refills for say, setting spray/priming mists. I'd be all over spending on the pretty glass atomisers if I can get refills. I got upset that you cannot take them apart, which makes them unrecyclable in a lot of areas.

I think that we also need companies to do their part to help the env. Like reduce the number of products or releases. Sustainable and recyclable package but also intentional in their products. Like KraveBeauty. We also need to force companies that make sustainable packaging to be rewarded so that this packaging is more accessible and cheaper thereby more popular with brands.

[@cindywright3368]

Skincare in makeup is a no. It’s too diluted. Just make sure there’s no fragrance in it and no ingredients that will cause a reaction. Skincare should be separate and personal to your skin.

[@strawbolita]

It depends. South Korea has done this for a long time and very well. If their products weren’t good then Kbeauty wouldn’t be popular because of how good they are. Ingredients like spf and collagen in Korean cosmetics is actually very common and effective.

3:14 Yes, I do think this is going to be “the thing”; in combination with millions of other tiny efforts. If we all do what we can, it will collectively make a difference. We must not be so overwhelmed by the scope of the (any) problem that we let perfect be the enemy of good. 💛

[@alexandrrra5627]

Honestly, I'm wondering what has larger carbon footprint - shipping individual tubes and still purchasing new product or maybe making easily recyclable component generally. I'm glad that brands are making an effort, this particular one just doesn't seem to be practical. I wish there would be more terracycle drop off points, or Sephora's and ultas had in-store incentivized recycling programs.

[@NoYeahNah]

The sheer environmental impact of the production, freight, packaging production (I'm talking the byproducts of shipping and outer packaging), and recycling itself - mulching cardboard, melting down plastics, and washing components uses a huge amount of energy, chemical byproducts, fumes... and that's even if every customer can be arsed to send the packaging back. Will that re-used packaging reduce the world's carbon imprint when you're adding an extra shipping journey back to the company (most likely using fossil fuels)? If someone really cared about the environment, they wouldn't be creating a new company or increasing production of consumables in the first place. I agree that perfection isn't possible, but this is so far removed from making a positive difference.

[@carlybeam6310]

@@NoYeahNah kind of why I like the new fenty lipstick idea. You keep the tube and just buy a new bullet to put in it when you run out. Minimizes the amount of packaging needed each time you need new product. Still packaging obviously for the refill but lesser, small cardboard box and the new bullet comes in a plastic sleeve. I agree though, recycling in itself can use a lot of energy to reproduce products from that material, especially when you have to ship it back. Plus, that's only if I decide I like the product and want more. Could be possible that the product stinks so you have a lot of stainless steel packaging floating around or thrown in the trash when people don't want to ship it back for a refill.

I remember Prescriptives Magic Powder..I absolutely loved that stuff. Becca also came out with same formula without the shimmer.. I used it on my more mature clients (who were dead set against powder of any kind). I got them to trust me. They totally loved it. Interested to see if Refer's formula would be the same as Prescriptives and Becca.

[@bellememorie]

With regard to Izzy, I would like to see them compare the environmental cost of sending them back vs purchasing a new mascara. My family is big on cutting down our plastics use, use of gas, etc. I think knowing those aforementioned costs would help consumers make the best choice?

[@alexandrrra5627]

Great point! My initial thought was wouldn't it be a better effort to make the packaging easily recyclable through domestic programs?

[@NoYeahNah]

Most recyclables in the US are sent overseas to recycling plants. (I'm not even going to get into the carbon footprint of just the freight). I know that China stopped accepting shipments a few years ago because they had no room left for the literal mountains of backlog - they can't recycle it fast enough and they don't have any more room. So even if you use recycling programs in the US, it ends up in landfill if it can't be shipped offshore.

[@gladitsnotme]

Thoughts: About face new eyeliners - Tom Ford throws the f bomb into his product lineup often so….. fair game. Hourglass lip products - the lightest color does not show up on my lips and is hella minty. Meh… in my Sephora bag to return. Westman atelier- might try but I’m not really their target customer - I tend to prefer makeup with a little more bite to it- I have several of their items and thus far, in spite of the price, none are HG. Water based powders - Becca had one for years - hydramist something or another. I LOVED it for about a month after buying but the “wetness” that you felt initially dries out in the powder so even though the powder was one of the only powders that didn’t make my skin look older, I have never finished a single one of them - would have to buy new when the moisture dried so ended up being a waste.

[@swesttttt]

Glass would actually probably be the best bet (and you can already get mascara in glass in quite a few brands). Plastic can only be recycled so many times before it ends up as nanoplastics, and there’s no way to keep them out of the environment at that stage.

[@siiri2052]

@@swesttttt yes, plastic always comes down to the problem, that it's not degradable. glass could be an alternative, but there you run into the problem, that glass production uses sand and a lot of energy (which is also a resource we are fast running out of) and it's so much heavier that shipping of goods uses significantly more energy. glass works well for bottles if an entire industry uses a standard shape, because then you can reduce return distances as everyone can reuse any bottle (that's how they do it with mineral water in germany. the returned bottles go to the nearest plant, not necessarily the plant of origin, which makes the system more efficient and cuts emissions) which ever way you turn it, reducing consumption itself seems to be the only viable option when it comes to sustainability.

So, unlike their SIMs collab, MAC really did a good job at least tying the collection with the IP. The palette is cute, the shadows something I've already worn a few times, but that insert makes it something really collectable to me.

my moisturizer is that Kbeauty aloe vera/other variants soothing gels that come in tubs. I have gone through so many that I keep them as containers

I love the idea of making products more sustainable but I don’t use enough makeup for this to make an impact. I care more about everyday items being sustainable versus my few makeup products. And it’s expensive without knowing if it works

Sounds like the employees were part of their investment group. The employees exceeded their investment authority, but didn't actually "steal" the money.

I've been saying for years that we should be able to mail back empty makeup products

I bet the CT is great! She has some really good products! Like the airbrush pressed powder and setting spray are staples of mine. I use the foundation and other products but those 2 I use almost daily! And I would like to see whats good with the primer too!

I purchased the Danessa Myricks Skin Blurring Balm at the recommendation of Rose from Rose and Ben. I was so disappointed as it made my skin look bad. It looked really Cakey , and I used very little. I was unable to return because the return policy states the product must be unused and unopened. If I ever purchase Danessa products again it will be from Sephora.

Hi Jen! Would you consider reviewing the brand Florasis? 🙂🙏

[@danielletrue1027]

Dates personally are locked in for me for the WA powder, and the Huda concealer seen reviews for both and are solid so It’s a HECK YES FOR ME

[@JennDBeauty]

I find it’s best to use the Danessa Blurring Balm with my fingers and then spot correct. I truly love it.

[@chloedemure]

You may have wrong shade and too much with the Danessa balm. I am obsessed with it. I have used it as she suggested, the way i like to do base and I used as a primer and for me works best the latter two. As i need to powder my face and I love it with a sponge better.
