I believe BU is a shortened version of Malibu

[@lindahallberg]

Glad you liked our new lip glosses ❤

[@danalichvar3460]

As a HUGE fan of the Tower 28 sunny days foundation, I was instantly sold on your concealer review and bought it. I agree that Tower 28 undertones are very well thought out. True neutral is so hard to find and their foundation does not oxidize on me (my oily skin makes everythinggg oxidize). I'm excited!

[@ndeluca77]

I have Maidens Blush and Crystal Slipper and they both pull super pink on me. I’m a light/medium with a more golden undertone in the summer and neutral in the winter. I love the formula but I wish they looked more brown-y on me like they do on you!

[@celinag9968]

You just blew my mind by saying your complexion temperature changes with the seasons… It’s like a duh, but also what?! At the same time. In the name of art math, I need to pay more attention to my own complexion changes as the season turns…

The concealer almost looks like a better version of the Glossier concealer in terms of coverage and finish.

[@caitlinstark9321]

Dear God I hope you are right. The Glossier is my go to but I want just a bit more coverage for my under eyes.

[@dolittler]

Another gorgeous look-the second in a row with cooler tones. LOVE! And I adore the Baume under your eyes, too. I’ve done that w the champagne one but the pink looks even more promising. Thanks!!

Crystal Slipper is screaming my name 😍 I stopped buying RMS a long while ago but that shade is magic, I have to admit.

Kackie, have no clue what the eye layering looks like in person, but I love how that hodgepodge looks on my monitor.

[@notimportant123]

Many Tower 28 lines are named after LA places. Bronzers after art museums, skin tint after roads. I actually live in the neighborhood of my concealer shade! lmao. TY for the RMS comparisons. You have to get Mai Tai, it's so beautiful.

[@kimberlymiller7872]

As a fellow Angeleno I would never think of any of these neighborhoods as initials. Also is “CC” Culver City or Century City?” 😅😂

[@kackie]

Yeahh that's where they lost me

[@RSLilykind]

@@kimberlymiller7872as another fellow Angeleno, this is the question I want answered. I mean, are we referring to the home of the patriarchy or the place where no one wants to work in because the downtown is impossible to get through? The only time I ever use the initials for places is when I’m texting about them with friends and some coworkers. I do use BH, SaMo, CC (which I use for both Culver and Century, but distinguish with context clues), and some of the others but I still cringe when people refer to Malibu as “the BU”.

[@rcherry762]

Not just LA either. She also included us OC and IE peeps. lol. I was born and raised in OC/LA and have no idea what BU stands for.

Love using a light bronzer like that. I use the VB one, too, and have used the lightest Char tilbs bronzer as well.

[@musiclistener28]

I’m so excited about the Tower 28 concealer because I loved the Kosas formula but the color selection leans SOOO yellow.

Ooh the rosy light drops look strikingly similar to the ByTerry rosy elixir serum but it’s actually cheaper so I might have to try. The ByTerry product has been a staple for me.

[@janelleespinosa6247]

The Prada Foundation looks unbelievable on you, I am definitely trying it when it lands here!

I think the Prada foundation seems reasonable in price for being a luxury product. I thought it would be more expensive.

Hi! Loved the video, but was mostly curious what shade of nail polish that is!

The eye look with just the 2 RMS shades was giving me the color story of ND Mini Retro (except you can blend those😏) The Room…YOU’RE TEARING ME APART, LISA! My kids say this to me on a weekly basis.

How does the Uoma bronzer shade compare to the lightest Saie bronzer? Which one's warmer/more peachy? Thank you!

[@derrickmiller-handley5724]

No expert but have played with LOTS of cosmetic formulas and guessing the brightened pearlescence could come from the way the titanium dioxide, pigments (iron oxides) and emollients are working together in the formula. I've noticed this effect in "tone up" sunscreens before with this combo of Titanium dioxide, emollients and iron oxides but no mica or mica mimicking synthetics 🤷🏽‍♂

[@kackie]

Cool! Thanks for this info!

[@kale-bopp]

Wow that Bohemian Girl blush is stunning 😍 So fair olive friendly. Does anyone remember Benefit’s Galifornia (now discontinued)? That was my JAM and I’m wondering if this will finally be a suitable replacement?

[@LucasReeder-s9v]

Your skin looks amazing Kackie! What mascara did you use in this video??

[@katieharris7219]

I'm pretty sure she's using the Finding Ferdinand mascara-- it's another tubing formula. I remember her talking about it ages ago when reviewing a number of different tubing mascaras, but I don't think she's said anything about it recently. I can't really remember what Kackie said about the formula back then, but I've noticed she's been using it in the last few videos. I hope she will give some updated thoughts! ❤❤❤

My nickname as a toddler was “grubby bunny” and I can’t say that it doesn’t still fit. I appreciate that there are other people that operate grubbily!

[@agresticumbra]

My son chose “Grubb” as one of his childhood monikers. He named his baseball bat “Grubby Fist”. 🤭 BTW, he’s in his 30’s and still uses it online.

[@agresticumbra]

@@kackie tangent: my father had numerous nicknames for me, all with a misogynistic slant. The ones I’ll mention are “Miss Windy” and “Prisseneller”. Being a tomboy, they all rubbed me the wrong way. I was named after my mum’s maternal grandmother, so my mum called me what her grandfather called his wife. The most despised nickname I had was “Maggot”, because growing up on a farm, and knew at a very early age what those were. The folks who used it chose it as a diminutive of my first name, plus enjoyed getting under my skin. I’ve speculated that it’s part of the reason why I always hated my first name. Still don’t like it, but I tell myself that at least it wasn’t trendy for my generation.

Trying to figure out my shade in the Tower 28 concealer. Do you consider yourself a light medium? Their shades go light then medium and there’s no light medium option which is what I always choose in concealers.

[@jojobeth]

Can’t tell if anyone answered this but BU is short for Malibu, like the ‘BU (yikes/cringe) and CC is prob Culver City but I never hear anyone using those initials. Same for many, though you do see DTLA on signs and people say WeHo and KTown. I say LBC (Long Beach city) but only to be cute. Curious if any LA people have ever called Santa Monica SAMO? Maybe they used that just to avoid SM, haha. But anyway they had a lot of shades to name and it’s a cute concept, like everything LA-centric they do! Can’t wait to try it. Love it when you’re feeling yourself-def more 22 than 36❤

[@alanam7261]

how would you compare the tower 28 concealer to the kulfi?

[@LexiCote-xj3zy]

[@kackie]

Kulfi is heavier? Like not HEAVY but emollient and higher coverage. It feels more wax/oil based and this is light as air.

Not going to lie; I was thinking about what BU stands for, and I'm pretty sure it means Malibu. It took me way too long though.

[@invasorzimm]

Hey Kackie! Is CC in the Tower 28 concealer your usual shade or would you use it when you have bit of a tan? I can't decide between BU or CC :O

[@blendofdays]

I couldn't identify anything in the tower 28 concealer that would necessarily create a luminous finish except mayyyybe the titanium dioxide? Or possibly the magnesium chloride. I find that unlikely.. But there's nothing in it that screams mica or pearl(synthetic or otherwise). The ingredients look really promising though! 👀

[@marywiththelonghair1330]

How dewy and shiny is this foundation after it sets? Can it be powdered down some, if you don’t want to be luminous everywhere? I nearly grabbed it yesterday. But I’m in Texas, and I get luminous within an hour anyway, so just curious how much I can tone that down, and keep it toned down.

[@kackie]

It's SO thin on the skin it is definitely able to tolerate powder! It's dewier on me too because I start with dewy skin prep.

I remember watching The Room for the first time in animation school, and it’s a bizarre cringe train wreck. I believe the cost came (partially) from the fact that he bought his own cameras equipment (everyone rents it, even the big studio budget stuff) and he filmed everything in two different formats. Which still seems crazy to me.

[@specteramber]

"They're owned by the same company" doesn't seem like a good argument in favor of two products being dupes, because, indeed, why would one company release the same formula through two of their brands, at very different prices? Especially when customers are in the habit of dupe hunting? It's like shooting yourself in the foot, because people will opt to pay less for the same thing. My conspiracy theory is that, because most high profile brands are under Estee Lauder, they'll be doing their developing and testing, until they stumble upon a great formula, which they'll sell through one of their more expensive brands, leaving middling formulas for drug store releases. If anyone works or worked at Estee, please correct me if I'm wrong, I'm very curious

[@mizshellytee]

L'Oréal does own a buttload of brands (among them: their own, Maybelline, NYX, Urban Decay, Armani, YSL, Lancôme, Givenchy, shu uemura), so formula sharing (even with tweaks) wouldn't be surprising. Estée Lauder owns mostly high end and luxury brands (these likely aren't all of them): their own, MAC, Clinique, Smashbox, Tom Ford, Too Faced, and they owned Becca before it shut down. I think they have a stake in The Ordinary, but I don't think they own them outright?

[@Jameylynnloves]

I used to work in the marketing team for a large beauty corporation. A lot of the time when a higher end brand they owned had holy grail or long term loved products, they would try to make a lot more affordably for their drugstore own brand. A lot of the drugstore products are super popular as dupes, so their tactic definitely works
