[@oxfordstyle5807]

I have realized over the years packaging is extremy important for me. Makeup time is about enjoyment, it isn't a chore for me, so I want all the best experiences.

[@FabiMadeup]

I completely agree with you. Gorgeous packaging truly enhances the joy of using a product. For me, it’s not just about the item inside but the entire aesthetic experience.

[@ladyveracity]

Yezzzzz. Makeup is an experience for me-so even when cheaper products will get me to the same place, I prefer using my nice stuff.

[@lunaas1029]

I agree! If the packaging is annoyingly cheap it dampers the experience. I’d rather pay for a couple good products than more of cheaper products just to try to find a dupe. I also noticed a lot of the time the cheaper makeup had less product, which sometimes makes it more expensive for the amount of product or only a few dollars less. In that case I’d rather splurge!

[@OpenOurHearts]

I think I may be one of the few people who don’t think Charlotte Tilbury makeup is aesthetically pleasing 😂 I’ve liked most of their products quite a lot but the packaging is cheap! Hollywood Flawless Filter? A mess with all the lettering coming off the bottle. The wands are definitely cheap. The powder compact and lipstick? Pretty nice but just light, hollow plastic. Plus some of their more recent packaging is hella tacky (the angel wings on the setting spray and translucent powder compact? 😂). I agree with Kackie when she says CT always costs $10 more than it should

[@maryeckel9682]

I can't get over how cheap that Tinkerbell makeup bag looks. Claire's vibes.

[@myfanwydavies]

i think CT’s packaging is consistent aesthetically across the brand and i don’t hate it but i agree it’s definitely not a brand that comes to mind when i think of brands with aesthetic packaging, esp as you said when there’s lettering coming off. i personally think gold caps done wrong can actually look a little cheap but i do love the couple products i have and the packaging looks nice enough to not put me off it despite loving the formula hahaha

[@danawood4192]

Omg this comment is late but the red lettering kills me!! I walked around with a letter on my face for like half a day haha

[@OpenOurHearts]

@@danawood4192 that has definitely happened to me 🙈

[@FabiMadeup]

[@myfanwydavies]

omg yes, i don’t own anything from hourglass but their packaging really contributes to how much i want to try it !!

[@jennawar13]

[@0blivvy8]

[@rivkashapiro8119]

I don't mind the aesthetic of the drugstore packaging, but it really frustrates me how flimsy and breakable it is!! All my drugstore compacts (across multiple brands) are now just pans... the hinge or the clasp always cracks and can only be taped so many times

[@maryeckel9682]

I'm so mad that the hinge on my Milani Rose Blush has broken. I can still close it, but it's a hassle. First world problem, but I do have arthritis so that's a factor.

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

That's why I always repress into nicer compacts that I've either bought on amazon or are saved from high end products I've used up.

[@laur83]

i’ve broken so many essence and wet n wild products because the packaging is mad cheap 😭

[@maryeckel9682]

@@DrinkYourNailPolish good idea!

[@katherineblack4772]

Which is sad, since pressed powder compacts while applying lipstick is classic.

[@laikanbarth]

I’m sorry but I have the opposite experience. If I pay a low price for something and it works great I get all excited and feel euphoric. If I buy something that is expensive and it’s just okay I’m sad, mad and depressed about it. I realize some people love packaging but that’s not me. I care about what’s on the inside. No one is coming and looking inside my bathroom except maybe my husband and tbh he doesn’t know the difference between an essence or a foundation and I’m not trying to impress him 😂😂😂.

[@Carriedeeznutz]

I tend to agree - finding a holy grail product that is cheap is one of my simple joys in life! I’m guilty of not buying a product if I think the packaging is straight up ugly though. I don’t care if packaging looks cheap or boring. But there have been a couple times where I didn’t buy a product because I couldn’t stand the look of it

[@Brego100]

Non-functional packaging is a deal breaker for me, though. If it’s so cheap it’s going to break, or so bulky it takes up an excessive amount of space, or so messy it wastes product-doesn’t matter how nice the product is, I won’t buy it.

[@terrilabeth]

Yup yup I agree with this 💯! T ✌🏻

[@TheSim1derful]

I'm the same - nothing better than an amazing product that's hidden in the shittiest packaging that's $5.00. nothing gives me a high like this!

[@GeminiGlitters]

Yup agree 🙃. Love finding an inexpensive gem ❤️

[@LeticiaDuqueBeauty]

I agree completly... drugstore products are sometimes as good or even better than luxury... but the package tho... Nothing beats the special feeling of having a nice beauty routine that makes you feel like a princess! 😅

[@bryndabaker6782]

I cannot lie, I *love* the aesthetic of beautiful jars and containers in my bath and vanity area. Now that the truth is out of the way, I'll say that I retired from the workforce about 18 months ago, and the difference between a social-security income and a working income is substantial. I try, now, to keep my purchases infrequent and limit them to products I love and that are effective. Drugstore products have been lifesavers for me, as they have improved so much over the years. Sounds boring? Not so much; the affordability of drugstore makes it easier to experiment and try new things. Beautiful empty containers can always be purchased--usually inexpensively--and refilled with less glamorous products. I still own, infrequently purchase, and love my high-end products, no denying the appeal and luxe experience with them. I'm absolutely not judging anyone for their purchases, high-end or otherwise; this is my situation and personal choice only. Thanks for your awesome channel, Kelly, you are just lovely and a pleasure to watch!

[@OMGXSUGARXCOOKIEXX]

Kelly: "My bronzer has gone bad" *Continues putting it all over her face*

[@zoecoyle9099]

Just want to share that I love your honest opinions about luxury products. Yes, you’re paying for the luxury and aesthetic - and that’s okay! That’s the whole point of luxury - a $5 shopping bag will serve the same purpose as a $2000 Louis Vuitton bag - but if the LV bag is making you feel a different way when you wear it or use it (similar to Charlotte Tillbury), then it is potentially worth it for you as the consumer. Yes, you can argue that you can get the same thing for less - but if you do that, you also have to discount the entire luxury industry in general. And I think oftentimes you can have a balance - you can love a drugstore fine and still enjoy your random luxury products, and enjoy both without having one negate the other. Thanks as always for your smart analysis Kelly!

[@jillymac0613]

The Tower 28 mascara definitely has that aesthetic… love the formula too!

[@laikanbarth]

Love the Tower 28 mascara. I didn’t like it at first because I usually like dramatic lashes but after using it a few times and getting used to it I’m now obsessed with it!! It is worth the money!!

[@kateliness2]

Ngl I *love* me an aesthetic product and a beautiful product "experience" but I also definitely want them to work lol.

[@kateliness2]

Like I'm willing to spend a bit more for a nice experience, but I won't pay for just a pretty package.

[@laikanbarth]

@@kateliness2 I get excited if I buy a cheaper product and it works great for me 😂 😂. If I buy something expensive for the “packaging” and it’s just okay I would be upset with myself.

[@kateliness2]

@laikanbarth For me, it's more about the experience. Like, if my lid breaks off my powder because it's cheap, not a nice experience . Or if I can find something that feels nicer to use (like a good texture or it's easier to use or I like the how the package holds product better [eg squeeze tube versus pot] ), I might be willing to pay a little more. If I can get a great experience from a cheaper product, awesome, look no further. But, for me, I'm willing to pay a little more if the product is more convenient or easier or nicer to use.

[@erinodonnell386]

Honestly, for me the only thing regarding packaging that matters is size/shape/bulkiness. I carry some of my products around in a makeup bag during the day and I like for them to fit comfortably in there. I very regularly keep what is, for me, a full face in a very small makeup bag so it makes me happy when my products are relatively slim. Brows, mascara, lip product, liquid hilighter, liquid blush, powder and a small powder brush , and concealer all have to fit in one little bag and I like to have a couple options in there. So I love the nars concealer and lipglosses, both for the formula and for the packaging. Plus, the lipglosses aren’t scented. Which is rare and really important for me (very very sensitive skin and nose).

[@rvanderjagt5944]

Not getting makeup for packaging is a constant struggle. Sometimes I do splurge, but it's stuff like themed eyeshadow palettes. Also I've tried too many trendy expensive skincare products with "meh" results compared to drugstore so that kind of saves me from a lot of the hype. Like I have a Glow Recipe cleansing balm that works the same as Clean it Zero, but I do like the glass jar.

[@CookieCurls]

The only thing i really care about packaging for is its functionality. It should be easy to apply and allows you to use all of the product. And it should keep it from going bad quickly. I think i just have too many skin issues to put packaging as a priority, all that matters is how it wears for me!

[@Mara2210]

True.

[@smallzers8309]

I got the Glow Recipe fruit babies last year, when it had the avocado eye cream and not the strawberry. I really enjoyed the toner, but it does nothing more for me than a $10 elf one. The packaging is super cute, so when I used the products up I deported my liquid foundation into it!!

[@laikanbarth]

That’s a great idea!!!

[@shysnow8]

I do love pretty packaging. I try really hard to check ingredients and I only shop cruelty free, but I think having pretty packing is really important. I want to enjoy the look and it just also makes me feel pretty. I love looking at my vanity and seeing all the pretty products that I use. I believe we can have both pretty packaging and a good quality product.

[@Tekeydieb]

I'm really surprised how many people say that cuteness of packaging is so important to them. Function over aesthetic for me every time.

[@clcarrer3038]

I'm the opposite. When it comes to skincare, I only care about the results. If I see it working on my skin, I feel excited to keep using it. I don't see skincare as a chore, I enjoy the process, so I don't care about the packaging whatsoever. The only reason for me to try an expensive skincare is if I see TONS of good reviews, like there is almost no doubt it works, lol. But I don't care about the packaging. Now, makeup is harder, lol. Looks so pretty, it's hard not to get it. But since I have a lot of makeup and I know what I like, I try to see beyond the packaging and check if I have something similar and check a TON of reviews. So, basically, I do a lot of research before buying skincare or makeup. And if it's pricey, even more to see if it's worth it.

[@maryeckel9682]

Same! My constraint is a disability budget, so I'm very careful where my money goes. I'm also fragrance sensitive and reactive to mica and talc. Narrows my choices a lot.

[@runaroundsuzanne9599]

[@maryeckel9682]

She has so much to answer for 😂

[@stephanietruax948]

I love this video idea ❤ to me honestly the functionality of packaging is what draws me in versus how cute or aesthetic it is. Like I will by cleansing balm with a spatula that fits in the packaging over an aesthetic jar. Probably just me though.

[@KellyGooch]

That’s a good point!

[@chamorrojen1905]

Not just you!

[@macandfire5477]

I actually like a foundation or tint in a tube or like the plastic squeeze bottle because the packaging just looks sleeker to me and more like clean girl makeup 😂! Also much easier and nicer to travel with 😉

[@kellye.5678]

The product inside is definitely most important but I do love pretty packaging. Especially packaging that has some substance to it and doesn’t feel frail. I love essence blushes but their packaging breaks so easily. I think pretty packaging makes you feel like you’re pampering yourself a little

[@honourserenity851]

I get the concern about packaging if one is posting on any social media site. For me it’s the least important factor in my consideration of a product as long as it doesn’t result in leaking. The one exception is, I would give anything for Chantecaille to stop the jar package for their Future Dew.

[@runaroundsuzanne9599]

I love that product and also their sheer bronze tint and the rose one. They make my skin look so amazing. But you are 100% right! They really need to find a better delivery system. Jars just aren’t it! And my winter favorite from Chanel comes in a jar and it really irks me because that foundation costs more than $100 and I don’t know why they don’t figure out something

[@maryeckel9682]

That's funny, because I prefer jars. You can get the last little bit out of them.

[@valariebrown3768]

Packaging is designed specifically to manipulate a consumer's emotions. I try VERY hard to ignore it and focus on the products inside. Hence, most of my makeup is drugstore, not luxury, especially eyeshadow, lip colors, and mascara. Or samples.

[@ginar3442]

Great look! I really enjoy more products that come in a pretty packaging, but they also need to be quality products. 🙂

[@kerriwright4593]

I'm very textured, dry, mature skin, so I prefer a more targeted glow, but I look pretty awful with powder on so it is a struggle.

[@itsClaudia5]

I do love luxury packaging, but I find that overtime, it gets messy anyway. I love the look of Nars, for example, but it gets nasty and messy! Also the CT Hollywood Flawless Filter, after having it for 6 months the letters and drawing on the bottle faded so badly... ABH Soft glam, that velvet packaging is a mess too!

[@Mara2210]

U have a point!

[@hettiegrubbs]

Loved the skin care reviews, would love a video on drugstore alternatives to high end skin care because it’s what I go through the fastest. I, also, love enjoying the experience of putting on makeup - the packaging is functional, makes application easier, and it doesn’t feel like it is going to crack with the slightest movement - so I will absolutely pay more for quality packaging but I know that it will take me years to finish an eyeshadow palette or blush so money well spent.

[@aquaqueen7247]

This video is giving me a internet vs reality vibe 😂

[@KellyGooch]

I can see it haha

[@emkab100]

Packaging is very much important to me, even if its an amazing product if the packaging is ugly i don’t wanna reach for it. I’ve come to the point where i rather buy few expensive good items than having alot of cheap ones that i dont want to use. Makeup is a luxury for me and I can afford to splurge so I like to treat myself.

[@disgruntledmoderate5331]

I also can kinda be a sucker for packaging, but it really has to do with cuteness factor. There are plenty of drugstore priced items that do have cute packaging. BH Cosmetics (at least before they got bought out) and Colourpop have cute eyeshadow palettes. I just used a Profusion liquid eyeshadow that came in cute packaging today.

[@rocioperezlascano669]

For mascara, the Nabla vicious mascara comes to mind. the panther packaging is so beautiful!

[@sarahgalatea]

I agree with you a lot, I didn't use to care about packages but nowadays I like them a lot and they make my makeup experience more fun! As a Brazilian I'm always a little bit annoyed at the Sol de Janeiro brand, not because I don't think the quality and scents must be great, but because they sell products that most Brazillians could never afford hahaha

[@wplants9793]

Packaging can be important to me. 1. Mostly for practical reasons, like it has to protect the product and close properly. Some drugstore products do not protect the product and the blush your eyeshadow start crumbling, and I hate that! 2. Another way that packaging is important for me is That I want my make up and skincare products to fit together. Like I want to get that really big color pop palette, because I’ve never tried color pop and I’m new to eyeshadow, but don’t know where I would put it! I’m space limited. Same with the skin care, if things are too big they won’t fit in my medicine cabinet and then I’ll hardly ever use them if they’re stuck in a box under the sink. 3. I want packaging to preserve skin care products if necessary. Like I always want a vitamin C to come in an opaque glass jar with a pump, so it’s not exposed to air and light. 4. I do like packaging that feels really nice in hand and is ergonomic. Sometimes but not always high end does that better. Just because you have more access to glass and metal. And those can be more weighted and balanced in your hand. 5. Lastly, I want packaging that is easily recyclable. Although I don’t always follow this rule. But if I could get foundation in a glass bottle that I could easily clean out compared to foundation in a plastic bottle with unknown recyclability, I will probably pick the glass one unless I really really want the formulation in the plastic bottle.

[@IzzyOPR]

Girl, as a former NYC-er (most my life), I must tell you I can't stand how cute you are, convincing me to buy things. As a current Floridian (past 9 years), I must tell you, you're adorable and everything you do is perfect. As a girly-girl, I love all things cute and pink, and have fallen oftentimes into that trap. And as a current shopaholic, I was earlier looking at and now you convinced me to purchase all those Drunk Elephant drops 😂😂😂. The issue with me is, with time, or using too much or too many scented products, I'm now experiencing sensitivity to A LOT of pretty stuff, like Tatcha, because of ingredients/scents, so I have to be extra picky. Love your vids, keep up the amazing work! Have a beautiful day! 🩷

[@EmilyGOODEN0UGH]

Pretty packaging only catches my eye at the store. Heavy weight actually deinfluences because I hate a heavy purse or suitcase. At home, ease of opening is the biggie. I have a love hate relationship with the Physician's Formula blush/ bronzer packaging because the button is so easy to open but the bulky rounded top is impossible to stack, and it's so much plastic. I love the elf putty blush but never use it because the tiny screw top is too fiddly to open... and drop.

[@Jessie12N]

The formula and aesthetic of the packaging is equally important to me. I love beautiful packaging and when the formula is great too, its a win for me! I can only get this done with high end makeup, so all my makeup is high end.

[@korobandresarrieta8193]

I understand completely. I'm an average consumer and if I'm going to have only a few items of each category then I want them to be pretty. I do have a mix of drugstore and high end makeup but sometimes this is the way I think.

[@mediocrebankai]

While I understand the love of the aesthetic and I have the rest of my life pleasing to the eye, if something works the best for me I don’t really care how it looks. If its pretty, of course its more appealing initially but doesn’t save it from being given away if the product doesn’t work for me. Never thought about it, but I appreciate looking at others aesthetically pleasing pictures.

[@skof28]

The bum bum creme is worth every penny. If I have a bad day/week everything seems dark and sad I use the bum bum creme (only on legs and arms because of the price) and the intense scent puts me in a better mood right away ❤

[@cristinaarguello9246]

I actually don’t have a good experience with CT products… Most of them don’t look/perform to my standards and I find the packaging VERY cheap and plasticky/lightweight.

[@Fredericksburg91]

Lots of people buy cosmetics that are specially branded, like Disney or Barbie or whatever, and then don't use those products because they bought them for the packaging and don't want to mess them up. So I don't think getting cosmetics that have very elegant or beautiful or aesthetically pleasing aspects is all that unusual. I have a cheap little lip gloss that came in a rose shaped container (like the Tarte one) simply because the container is sooo cute. And I like using beautiful cosmetics like Charlotte Tilbury. It feels good when I use them.

[@kerriwright4593]

Oooh the blush looks pretty 😍. I recently tried the revolution super dewy blush that isn't dewy at all based off your recommendation and it's really pretty. I need to build it up though.

[@gigi5937]

There are a few brands who do quite thick serums in a pretty glass pump bottle (Glow Recipe niacinamide dew drops or Sunday Riley CEO serum) which end up having so much product left which the pump doesn't reach, even if I unscrew it the product is too thick for all of it to come out. I'm not gonna spend that much money for a serum where I can't use about 5 to 10 ml of product.

[@agr1323]

I want it all. The package. The product. The whole experience!

[@Lehneas]

I haven't smelled those sol de Janeiro sprays you mentioned but I'd definitely recommend the 71 one. I find it super underrated, it is a gourmand scent that straight up smells like caramel syrup 🤤 definitely my favourite perfume on my girlfriend

[@ashreynolds1178]

[@violetclaire6608]

The Sol de Janeiro sprays are at a high price point, but I’ve never had a spray last so long on my skin/clothes/hair. If you find a smell you like, it’s unrivaled. I love to invest in high end perfumes (like Diptyque and Penhaligons) and these SDJ body sprays last longer than some of my favorite EDPs. I have all of the non-limited edition fragrances from them, and 39 and 40 are my favorite from SDJ, but I think 68 is perceived as the big fan favorite at the moment (and it smells great too)!

[@kerriwright4593]

I love the packaging from ysl on the like tinted balm I have.

[@elainechiou]

I keep telling myself that packaging does not matter, it shouldn’t matter, but time and time again I prove myself wrong. It became expensive stocking up drugstore lipsticks and powders 😢 I had to face the truth. But the only product that I Refuse to buy luxury is eyeliner. Korean brand eyeliners cannot be touched 😂

[@urbanbatfitters]

Do a part two. Bc Gucci. The Gucci mascara is SO cute, and packaging has a heft to it. It’s my fave mascara now, that I had placed a 100 pt perk of in my Sephora order for moisturizer months ago, and they gave me a full size 😅 it’s pink and just lovely. Crazy price for a mascara so I prob won’t be able to purchase it but gosh it’s lovely, and just tried and true. I never have to fuss or worry it won’t perform. Also the bronzer is very aesthetic IMO, but I haven’t tried it. Apparently it’s lovely tho.

[@emilygarcia6773]

I say go for the 40. I love vanilla scents so ofc I love this one. 68 is too floraly for my liking

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I think packaging can definitely make a difference when it comes to interacting with a product. However, the aesthetic of high-end/luxury just doesn't draw me in. I'd love more options for just buying a magnetic refill pan on the market. The Kaja Bento Boxes are the only example that is slightly enticing to me, but still kind of bulky for three shades. Generally, I like it when packaging is only as big and heavy as it needs to be and matches the product on the inside, like the NYX Butterglosses.

[@_sararojo]

From Sol de Janeiro I prefer the 40! I have all the mists and that one is my fav and the one that last the most

[@heathersargent289]

I have been interested in trying the Rhode skin milk and peptide glazing fluid but I didn't know if it was all hype or if it was actually good.

[@Kmarie77]

Try the Sol de Janeiro 68. It’s amazing! ❤

[@wplants9793]

I love the Sol de Janerio Rio Radiance perfume (doesn’t have a number), the only other one I have is the 62 and I just got that because it was small enough to travel with. For 20 years I had extreme chemical sensitivity and hated all sense of any kind. I recently got over it because it was due to a chronic infection that I was able to treat finally. And now I’m absolutely in love with the rio radiance. Never in 1 million years did I think I would ever be able to tolerate perfume, let alone actually loved one. But this is it! But my absolute fav from them is the Rio Deo, their deodorant! It works fabulously and smells absolutely amazing. They have 3 scents in the deodorant but I only have the original. It also comes in a refil which is a dollar less and saves packaging.

[@kerriwright4593]

I've really liked most things I've tried from glow recipe. I don't like the avocado sleep mask or the watermelon one. I like the other watermelon stuff and the plum plump stuff I've tried. If I don't layer properly though like the niacinamide dew drops will cause everything to pill up. I think I tend to use too much of everything.

Same!!

[@makeupwithamberm6122]

My daughter and sisters favorite scent is the 40 the bom dia bright scent

[@kerriwright4593]

I love the elf contour with the poof thing but it's so messy. You can't close the top. I have to keep it separate so it's not squished then everything squeezes out.

[@gwenrybeck3794]

I would go in and smell them, but because you enjoy cloud, I think you'd like beija flor 68. It's is very similar, not dupes, but same light airy family.

[@livialynnlynn]

This look is so pretty i love the eyeshadow especially

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you!

[@sabrinaa8948]

I think the Tower 28 mascara is the internet's aesthetic choice

[@KellyGooch]

Ooh I agree!

[@rwh161]

Merit's mascara packaging is the most elegant mascara ive used so far lol

[@kanaktanwar]

the nails!!❤

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you! They’re press on!

[@kanaktanwar]

love you videos Kelly, so comforting to watch!

[@joannasolley45]

UGH i love glossier lip balms they’re so cute they work so nice for me i feel SO CUTE it’s a sickness 😭

[@TheSim1derful]

I loved the old formulation but the new one is no bueno. Packaging is still cute af though

[@elisa-beary]

I 💜 your video concepts.

[@KellyGooch]

Thank you so much!!

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

I'm a sucker for luxe packaging and will use a product up, clean it out and put drugstore in it. Also I try to avoid packaging I can't read. I don't like the trend of pastel on pastel and you don't know if what you have is shampoo, moisturizer or body lotion.

[@shinyhappypeople9043]

I have started reusing luxe packaging. When I finish it up, if I have a drugstore product where the pan can be fitted into the luxe packaging, it happens. Since single use packaging is just landfil, why not reuse and continue to enjoy the luxe packaging? Re-porting pans is easy.

[@DrinkYourNailPolish]

Exactamundo!!

[@kendspan212]

Maybe it’s because I’m 35 but the “Charlotte Tilbury aesthetic” is so annoying to me. Why spend so much when there are better drugstore dupes out there? When it comes to packaging I want something that will last the lifetime of my product but that’s about it. I’m saving my money! She’s everywhere, it’s all anyone talks about and it’s SO oversaturated. In the marketplace. When people pronounce “Till Berry” it actually makes my skin crawl. I just decluttered my old CT products.

[@sacgeekgirl]

Yeah I've tried to like the Bum Bum cremes and line bit it's just not for me. Don't care for the feel, the scent and esp not the price. The pink one j cannot even detect in store it's Soo light

[@yiwei8050]

Hi Kelly， 68 smells very delicious and I would recommend it.

[@RobertaNicholson1374]

Niacinamide gives me massive painful cystic acne. I wish they’d stop putting it in everything. I didn’t know it was in supergoop glow screen. I found out after I got a massive painful zit. Ugh

[@Justhatipp]

I bought cute lux looking jars and bottles on eBay and i put my drugstore products in them. Lol

[@NaturallyGourgeous]

I'd love to find out your opinion the brand zeesea asteathics are stunning I'd like to know if performance wise they are up to snuff.

[@krueltyfreekelly]

Personally, I think #40 Bom Dia smells very similar to Vanilla Woods by 7 Virtues.

[@bethrichardson5364]

I refuse to pay for packaging. Quality on my face, not on the dressing table. Drugstore all the way. Wouldn't buy prestige even if I could.

[@oliviaolsen6569]

40 is my fav

[@TheSim1derful]

I have to admit, i find most glow recipe products overpriced and overhyped, but there is nothing better than their AHA/PHA Watermelon exfoliating toner if you need exfoliation but have EXTREMELY sensitive skin. Holy grail product fr

[@kaceyisdead]

I just wish some packaging could be more discreet, and not advertise in giant letters ACNE (Peach Slices 👀). I want to try Bubble products, but the kids bubble bath-esk packaging makes it a no for me.

[@SwayTree]

I like pretty packaging. But I found most of them pretty. Drugstore or mid-range sometimes even highend look very simmilar in most cases. Sure, there are some EXTRA in luxuary range that I find original and almost as an art piece but beauty products are disposable and those go to waste eventually so... Why? And it makes me not to want them. But also if the packaging gives me hell I won't buy it either even if the product is very good. I talk about makeup mostly. For the skin care I go to pharmacy because I have effing eczema on most of my body and I just need products that my skin won't get angry about. So yeah, my bathroom looks very boring...

[@heidimargaret306]

Hi Kelly, good morning have a great day 😀

[@KellyGooch]

Good morning! You too!

[@hannahcastor9246]

That Rhode glazing milk looks so intriguing! I don't want to want it because it's yet another celebrity brand, but it looks nice! 👀

[@KellyGooch]

I’m really enjoying it!

[@lolwhat2628]

Try korean toners/essences, they are definitely more beneficial and more affordable!

[@lisamarie5918]

I may be the only one who doesn't like the Bum Bum Cream scent. I do like pistachio's, but I guess I don't like smelling like one. I do prefer the Sol de Janero Beija Flor scent though, much better!

[@gstang8241]

It’s the same thing as buying Gucci, Louis Vuitton, etc.

[@becm963]

The Rhode Glazing Milk is intriguing me. I like the thin consistency for this time of year. I like the ceramides and the volume. The price point seems fair at $29. The ingredient that gives me pause is coconut alkanes. My skin is acne prone and certain areas clog quite easily.

[@murrrrr12]

You could get better essences for lesser if you get Korean ones just sayin

[@becm963]

@@murrrrr12I was using the Purito Deep Sea Water Cream. I liked that one. It is a bit thicker than the Rhodes skin Glazing milk. I enjoyed it. I have tried serums from Numbuzin. Their sleep mask no. 6 is one of my favorites.
