“It didn’t congrue” made my day😂 it wasn’t congruent, maybe? LOL

[@racingrachel]

Incongruous \incongruent, methinks, but I'm here for "it doesn't congrue" 😂❤

[@habituallinestepper8839]

Must get exhausting having to explain and apologize for having an opinion on products to the perpetually offended crowd it was easier back in the day. Merry Christmas Kackie. Hope you feel better soon with the depression. I battle myself with it over the years. I want to thank you for your work and content. It gives me a place to escape for moments without the hardships of life weighing on us all. Take care.

[@EstherNathalie190]

I so agree whit what you writing.

[@emilylerman9028]

idk I think it’s helpful reminder to take every review with a pinch of salt

[@kellywatts6227]

I relate to this comment 😊 in every way, all the best to you❤

[@Genevieve1023]

It wasn't easier back in the day. KZbinrs have had to do these disclaimers since the very beginning of beauty youtube. All because some people seem to think, someone saying the blush you like didn't work for them, is somehow a personal insult.

[@puffsplus72]

Yeah, don’t apologize for having opinions. I have loved some things you disliked (e.g. Haus Labs Foundation). Do I feel deeply personally hurt by you, someone I don’t even know? No. And if I did? Then I need to grow up and realize not everyone agrees with me.

[@MeredithVolkman]

“That’s yucky” 😂 spoken like the parent of a toddler lol Just returned to working in childcare and yucky has made a big return to my vocabulary

[@maryarmstrong2231]

Moving to South Korea helped launch me into a serious depression that I am taking care of, but progress is slow. I’m proud of you for sharing what you are able with us through depression. You inspire me kid.

[@pamheid2913]

We missed you so glad you are back and working on your health. After our son's wedding I deleted quite a few makeup channels, but will always stay with you. My husband always chuckles when he overhears you. Stay beautiful... you are lovely

[@tamipie]

That's the new t-shirt, "It didn't congrue." ❤😂🎉

[@TG-jp3tc]

The Rememberance Byredo palette is the first one that was created by new beauty director, Lucia Pica. She was a former makeup artist for Chanel.

[@TG-jp3tc]

I had to mention that because that palette suffers the same fate as the Chanel eye quads where everything has the same hue value.

[@Henou55]

That last segment with the off key music was priceless 😂

[@janebarnette6548]

be kind to yourself, Kackie... 2023 has been a wild year astrologically (both for the collective & the self)!

[@lacey8454]

That Milk Makeup contour in toasted is my holy grail because I am, as you said, the fairest of the fair and coolest of the cool, and it's the ONLY contour I've ever found that works on me!

[@frumtheground]

You're def not alone in feelings of depression. I swear, this latest one has been going almost all year. Doesn't help that it's going to be my first winter without my dog Jack. Now I'm completely dogless. I've always had a dog since I was 4 years old. It just feels weird.

[@jbridges9574]

😢 please take care of yourself!

[@frumtheground]

​@@jbridges9574 Aw, thank you! You too ❤ Stay safe and stay warm!

[@magpiesneedle2575]

Best wishes with your new meds. I suffer from chronic depression (along with a host of other things) and it can be such a nightmare, mentally but also physically. And thank you for always being open about this.

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

Always a party for sure🥴

[@thelipstickgal]

The version of "My Heart Will Go On" was perfect! I laughed so hard. Thanks so much for this video. I'm also super sad that they OG Balm Dotcom got reformulated. I picked up 7 of the holiday release in Cookie Butter and Hot Cocoa, but I miss my Mango and Coconut.

[@giantcupofcoffee]

Also why wasn’t the Stretch Foundation just the Stretch Concealer in a bigger jar? We already use the concealer as foundation anyway.

[@racquels9926]

You were very missed. Your content is the only one I truly trust - one of a kind. Hope u feel better soon. Depression is so exhausting in all ways.

[@liftbakelove]

Rebecca reviews of the weird yellow and green foundations: I much prefer the Gucci to the Guerlain after doing a few full day wear tests, but they both work great shade wise for olive skin (as Kackie saw in person on me!). They're both much higher coverage than something like the Glossier foundation, Yummy Skin, or even the Fenty Eaze Drop Stick so I've been using them for when I want to look like I tried (vs looking like I "woke up with amazing skin and didn't put on any makeup"). Kackie also gave me the Shiseido Revitalessence Skin Glow, and that one is my favorite of the 3, especially for someone with dry skin. It's gorgeous! Rest assured the rehoming was very successful though 😄

[@lelalu101]

"Hiiiii Rebecca" 💕

[@minazohradalagerjensen]

Oh no no no Kackie - Europe likes talc - it’s only in the US it’s problematic 😅 J&J even still sells baby powder in Europe and we buy it🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jenniferwolf6714]

Blessing you with buckets of joy and deep fullness of heart. That is what you bring to me!

[@meepmoopmeep1]

I really enjoy the Makeup By Mario cream blushes, but I totally understand your critique. I apply them on top of powder blush(like the Patrick Ta method) and it works great. I just take a very dense brush and stamp it into the pan, then stamp it onto my cheeks. There is no need to blend at all. With a powder blush underneath, the Mario blush just adds a glow and a bit of color enhancing on top. My favorite combo is the peach shade on top of Dior rosy glow in coral

[@summerintherockies9530]

I never knew to put cream on top of powder blush

[@meepmoopmeep1]

@@summerintherockies9530 it’s worth a try! I usually prefer putting cream over powders (when it comes to blush and highlight). It brings some glow back to the skin. Plus, I think sometimes powder on top of a very dewy cream can be even harder to work with because it sticks and doesn’t blend well

[@laurenelliott5175]

Girl, what are you wearing on your face??!! IT'S STUNNING AND I'M IN LOVE!

[@christinalamp8758]

I just gotta say your hair is looking gorgeous Kackie. I cant imagine having so many makeup products that are underwhelming or simply non performing as this. I would lose my mond. Im am however extremely grateful that videos like this exist especially since your my skin twin. Love you so much ❤

[@erinnswan7063]

I have depression also. My Mom passed away this year so the Holidays are not a happy time especially this year.

[@habituallinestepper8839]

My condolences. Lost both my parents quite young. I won’t say it will get easier but in time I hope you find some healing from your loss. Be good to yourself this year especially through the holiday season. First year is tough.

[@amymccall5263]

My mom died 2 years ago and it’s heartbreaking I’m so sorry for your loss. Todays the first time since that I laughed about a memory of her instead of crying.

[@jordanwenger1160]

While I absolutely missed your uploads, I get needing to take a much needed break to take care of you! Remember if you don’t fill your bucket first, you can’t give the people the Kackie we know and love! Hope you feel better soon

[@racingrachel]

Ugh, depression is THE WORST. Thank you for being you, and for being here, and for testing care of yourself so that we can enjoy your shining light 🎉

[@kristenclark82]

I know you’re not vying to be the poster child of holiday depression but i want to thank you. As a person who is only 41 and celebrating with both their mom and dad in Heaven this year…I hear you, I see you and I appreciate you. Merry shitsmas! (Joking! Please no one be offended!!)

[@mymagicemily]

After all the well received products Kosas brought to the table in 2021 and 2022, I would've thought this would be their year. But they had some stinkers.... I love the balmy lipstick of theirs, Malibu is my perfect everyday shade. But it has ZERO lasting power.

[@gypsybelle637]

I love how open you are about your mental health. I lost my oldest daughter may of 23. It's a very difficult thing, to try and help if the person you love , is in deep denial. Be well, and be good to yourself. Remember, you can't take care of others, unless you first, take care of yourself. I know... cliché but true.🙏🏼💕👍🏼

[@biogirl1381]

depression!!! soooo relatable and it feels like i live there. i feel you, kackie, and i hope your break was somewhat helpful. 🥰🥰🥰

[@lalajobo]

i can’t wait for this year to be over! good luck with the meds, i feel ya! 😘♥️

[@myfanwydavies]

omg thank you finally someone else who was massively let down by the rare beauty eye brightener and applicator!!! everyone loves it and i didn’t know what i was doing wrong lol

[@beatdizzy]

It's good to have you back AND take all the time you can, or, that you can finagle from the algorithm gods to take care of yourself, ftr if you had out of the timeline sequencing random videos, or even old uploads, id watch them especially if you told us in said videos that you needed a MH break. Everyone needs a break. You deserve a break. AND ftr. If you only have 20% and you show up with 20% you are giving 100%. Plus Mars is unstoppable forcing right into the bigger and utterly immovable Saturn. = Crash. Stay close to the ground 💚💚

[@skiergirl4753]

I found the Glossier foundation to be super heavy and make-up on me - not a great makeup wear-er here. I recently bought the Rose Inc tinted serum and absolutely love it. I am certain that you reviewed it but I don't remember what you thought. It gives just enough coverage to do a little bit of correction and to give my skin a glow. I have not tried that Kosas shimmer stuff but Nikki LaRose loves it and uses it in her makeup kit. It is funny how differently each of us react to these products 😀

[@AutumnElaine]

Yes. Take care of YOU. Thank you for not only being honest with yourself (which is all that matters), but with us! 🥰

[@nutritionbykel]

The rare beauty isn't a concealer or colour corrector it's a brightener for dark circles when you don't want to wear makeup it's the only thing that I can wear to cover my undereyes without needing foundation on the rest of my skin

[@annealbaugh919]

I’m so sorry your going through what you’re going through all good thoughts prayers and vibes coming your way 🙏🏼💜🌻🌻🌻

[@Himmiefan]

Re depression: been there! Hugs for you!

[@giantcupofcoffee]

I too have a large bag of things to complain about. It’s my work bag. It’s full of stupid crap.

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

Kackie starts with one of my favorite palettes 😂. I have no opinion on 85.7 % of the items mentioned but the rest I like. Different strokes, etc….

[@ZijnShayatanica]

Take a shot every time Kackie uses the term "nuance". ☠️☠️☠️ I'M SORRYYYYYYYY, YOU ARE AMAZING. PS: "It does not congrue" is now entering my lexicon 😂🤣

[@jojobeth]

I hope you’ll always take the time off you need. We’ll always be here! ❤❤❤

[@liannapeterson8846]

We missed you! Hope you are feeling better. Very much enjoyed the video.

[@rachelrezko4229]

Missed you Kackie! But I'm happy you took some time for yourself.

[@jessical4226]

Thanks for sharing, I am with you this time of year is hard.

[@erinbeth128]

Happy to see you Kackie ❤️ hope you feel better soon!

[@dicti0ncanary]

Obsessed with the “in memory” section especially the music haha

[@CallmeCalypso]

Loved this video, and the end was the icing on the cake!

[@starbyheart]

the in rememberance section made me laugh, what a song choice lol

[@sea_g0at]

can i make kackie bingo cards for this end of the year series or would that be weird/ rude. i promise i would make them with love and appreciation as well as sass

[@cocolaughs]

You have to add nuance.

[@lisadgingersnaps9843]

That could be fun and cool.

[@AliceAnnRose]

The ending ❤🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍

[@sarahwales6276]

Beauty brands don't have to be inclusive to every skin tone if they don't want to, they are free to create whatever products they want, it's up to the consumer if they choose to buy it.

[@victoriarose466]

Watching to the end?? The best! Love you! Happy Holidays, Kackie!

[@fyern]

Good to take the time when you need it!

[@marniash9559]

Oh wow, I never even thought of that but it makes so much more sense now

[@GiGi-Gigi408]

Thank you for the heads up ❤

[@amylage4054]

Missed you.! Be gentle with yourself and take the time you need though. Sending healing and positive vibes your way

[@antsyclara]

Yaaay new meds! 🎉 I'm rooting for your brain chemistry ❤

[@Buffalo44]

lol love the remembrance 😂😂😂

[@thejulietocean]

Can’t wait to see the best 🌟🌟🌟

[@thejulietocean]

Also I use brazen as just like a “throwing on makeup for going out to dinner” blush bc I love the color so so much and at least it lasts an hour I guess 😂 it is sooo sad that they don’t last

[@thejulietocean]

ALSO ALSO the memorial at the end is soooo funny and also sad 😂😂

[@sea_g0at]

hope your new meds go well!

[@SBaltz-yi4ow]

Gucci Lorna Dune is also no where to be found…waiting to see what madness they are brewing. Maybe it will be beautiful and with no scent…doubtful.

[@valariebrown3768]

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉RIP beauty products loved by many cool people. Happy winter holy days to one and all. None of your opinions offend me because I am old, wrinkly, and set in my ways, plus I have different needs and preferences, and I have never used any of those products.

[@amymccall5263]

That Youthforia foundation is amazing!

[@juliehurwitz8677]

Sending love and support from NYC!

[@audreyMtn]

What are the best luminous pressed powders, in your opinion? Would love to know! ❤

[@AuntieSenSen]

Hourglass ambient lighting powder

[@LLove4Beauty]

Watching on my half hour lunch just to start it over when I get off work 😂

[@kuklakid]

The RIP was worth everything. I did get those Chanel blushes (both) with no regrets.

[@marniash9559]

Omg, I used to love the blinc mascara and then the formula changed even though the company said they didn’t change the formula so it was still a tube mascara but it smudged on my eyelids what in the world is happening?😂 the hourglass is much better! I’m glad I didn’t try the Victoria Beckham one😅

[@frumtheground]

Whenever a company says a formula is "the same," it's probably because the formula is the same, but they started sourcing ingredients from somewhere else. Usually cheaper and lower quality. It's always been a thing in almost every industry, but it's been especially bad after the pandemy. 😢

[@AlyHollywood]

The Victoria one is a nightmare. Got it in my ipsy bag and omg it’s just gets everywhere never dries and ruins your face in seconds with ugly cry aftermath look panda eye in a minute or less if you happen to step into a humid environment. I haven’t tried hourglass been tempted so thank you for making me be more likely to bite the bullet and buy it

[@sydneybristo22]

Question: what do you think of these for bronzer or contour- im looking for both? Esp Ouma. Which color and formula do you like best for a fair cool/neutral rose. [ combo skin later 30s] 1. Ouma sculpting contour [ regular no name] powder in white pearl, and the same color in the stick formula. - 2. Westmatilia in biscuit 3. Tart in moe- saw that on your video 4. Fenty amber cream and stick. - im currently using this for contour. Im looking for a warmer color that is not orange. BTW id love to see videos on makeup from Amazon that you can't get from sephora or ulta that range in price but hopefully on the lower end but have high quality ingredients. Ive seen many skin care things and make up that look good but ive got no clue if they are any good. It would be fun to see. Thank you for all of your hard work. I love your videos. I just finished watching another switching video.

[@katiecurtin8149]

Omg did a spit take at the Moira Rose commercial 😂

☠️ Moira at the end there.

[@earlgreyknits1178]

OH NO! I didn't even realize I wasn't subscribed! I've been watching you for years at this point... 1/2 because I'm obsessed with high end make up and appreciate your opinion and 1/2 because I think you're fucking hilarious. To be fair, I was subbed on my other google account... just not this one. Sorry! But I've fixed it. Thanks for sharing your opinions with us. Wishing you and your family an amazing 2024!

They weren't congruent, or more likely, they were incongruent
