[@tishathompson2119]

Your skin is flawless. Thank you so much for your review. I really appreciate the support! XO

[@aliciaarcher]

Tisha!! Thank you so much, friend 🥰Congratulations on a, what I believe 🙆🏽‍♀️, a successful launch! Your products are fantastic, and I’ve been using them non stop! 😍

[@courtneycullen6289]

Your channel content has hit Vogue level with the stories about the brands, the creators, the vision, and the importance to the beauty market overall. As someone who spent most of her life with beauty stories from Vogue and the low down on makeup artists and brands (and who often, way more than often, misses that content on YT), I am so thrilled. And you know I loved your channel before. But i see you, Alicia, I see you. And I'm so grateful for this after a high key crazy town workday. Short of horse nose kisses, this is the best.

[@ayshaf5505]

Love that your earrings match their branding 😍📐🔽▶️

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you! Had to represent! 🔼

[@Rforsch1]

“Three bronzers; shut up!” 😂🤣🤪

[@chloedemure]

I laughed so hard 😂

[@kathleenem9207]

Aside from the fact that you are contributing to my financial ruin, it is such a pleasure to watch your videos and read the comments. This channel puts out reliable information, great technique, and good vibes. The subscribers are informed, engaging, and respectful. I guess you get back what you send out. Onward and upward, Alicia. PS: One can NEVER have enough blushes.

[@pam8200]

The dissertation we've all been waiting for! Thanks for always taking it there Alicia. 😂👏

[@aliciaarcher]

I’m over the top, and need to be stopped 🤪

[@nadineF]

@@aliciaarcher never please never stop, never change, your reviews are just the best. I would never be interested in this brand, just because there are so many brands that I feel overwhelmed and just buy from the same ones. But because of your reviews I am now very interested in this brand and in other that you introduced on your channel. Also I always wait for your reviews to make up my mind.

[@fonzynfinite]

Omg I found you earlier today after I saw your recent Pat McGrath review, btw we are besties in my mind lol. And I didn’t catch that your name is Alicia! That’s my niece’s name!

[@raw.potato]

Oh no, I loved everything. I'm screwed when/ if they come to a European retailer 😂😂👌🏻 lys means light in Norwegian and I kinda really like that for a make up brand name ❤

[@VictoriaJames]

I’m so excited for the blushes. The formula is bangin’!

[@aliciaarcher]

Friend, you’re going to go nutzzz!!!

[@VictoriaJames]

Yes! I am sitting here with heart palpitations hoping that my package arrives by Wednesday. I ordered everything except the lip oil LOL

[@aliciaarcher]

I can’t wait for not to come! LES GO PACKAGE!

[@nykka3]

Thank you in advance shade cousin. Can’t wait for your video!

[@lorrainejohnsoncoleman1670]

I completely agree with you on the marketing claims made by “ clean beauty brands”. It is not a priority. But if a black owned brand is making a quality product that is clean with skincare ingredients ( I also rely on my own skincare) but I am happy to support this incredible effort. I will definitely try the foundation if I can find my shade. And btw, the triangle shape was chosen for the spiritual meaning of the triangle- heal,motivate and inspire. Blessings Alicia. Amazing review 💕

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you for letting me know about the triangle! It all ties in beautifully, and I feel embraced by the brand’s philosophy.

[@AllTingzKay]

Only the foundation and lipgloss is live on Sephora Canada. All the other products are not available yet. I pick up the foundation in DG6. It seem to oxidize a bit on my. I think I may pick up a more neutral shade. I can not wait to get the blushes. I know I want at least 3 of them. They are gorgeous on you. Thanks for a great review.

[@shanika4160]

Even though my skin is normal to dry (leaning more dry) and the kaolin scared me for a bit. Seeing it on your face *gets wallet* And that color *gets card* Let us just say I have a few things sitting comfortably in my cart.

[@aliciaarcher]

Shanika, FRIEND! These are lovely. I’ve been slapping them on ever since I filmed this video. I’m about to get the rest, HA 🤣💸

[@lovecate1]

Hi Alicia. Can you do a video on your most used or everyday items? You have an extensive collection and I am just wondering what you actually use on a daily basis. Also, as an influencer who has to try a lot of product do you pass off the overflow to friends and family or shelters, or do you keep a lot of stuff for demo/comparison purposes (like you did in this video)?

[@alacris]

Alicia, you are my favourite reviewer and I value your opinion a lot. These were in my loves list and now that I know it is a Black owned brand, they will be moving into my basket ASAP!

[@meimimiyasaki]

*glasses on* Nerd Alicia is ready to slay with her notes! ♥ hahahaha love that!

[@AyannaRoberts]

I LOVE that you tried all those bronzer and blush shades. I wish more KZbinrs would do that. I would love to see all of the bronzers and blushes on a skin tone like my own. It was super helpful to see them on your skin tone. ♥️

[@tiareelaster9394]

You said I bought three bronzers... shut up and I busted out laughing 🤣🤣🤣

[@aliciaarcher]

I tried, but couldn’t keep myself from checking out 😅

[@tiareelaster9394]

@@aliciaarcher I understand completely 🤣

[@jewlst4814]

Did the cream blushes make you break out? I know that they contain avocado oil which can clog pores, so I am concerned that they will make me break out (especially when combined with a mask 😷).

[@monicabellmakeup]

So glad you're reviewing this, Alicia! I just ordered and looking forward to trying everything! :-) :-) :-)

[@aliciaarcher]

Ooooo I can’t wait to see these products on you!! 😍

[@Ashleygcrutchfield]

Great comprehensive review, as always! I can't wait to try the products!! ❤❤❤

[@NancyKatiana]

My girl Alicia, always coming in to save the day! I'll be running out of foundation soon so I know where I'm going next and exactly what shade to get!!!!

[@Kimberly941]

Your curls in the demo are so beautiful 😍. I ordered the setting powder and the bronzer but now I want the blushes 😂

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you! Yes, the blushes are 😍

[@ErikaTesla]

I bought one of everything except the blushes-I picked up the two left in stock. Very excited to try everything! Thank you for your review! 💗

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you, Tesla! I can’t wait to see what you think!

[@amberr6589]

Thank you for this in depth look. I’m definitely adding this brand to my 2021 try list. I want to get my hands on at least one of those blushes. I also agree, I’d love a cream highlighter if the brand is taking suggestions. 😉🙂

[@leazettegreen4625]

I’m definitely going to try this brand. I’ve been hearing great things. I too rely on my own skincare. Thank you for the review

[@sheilaj3495]

My son says you're pretty😊

[@erab6539]

The blush looks nice! Thanks SO much for the video ♥️

[@susanyoungsusiesmakeuptoolcart]

You do the most in depth reviews and I appreciate that I grabbed everything from this line except the primer saw some bad reviews on it and the gloss I skipped but got 2 blushes and 1 of everything else! Can’t wait to get them!

[@MsSavvy9]

Darn... I bought all three blushes and the lip oil... I mean... 🤷🏽‍♀️ oops...

[@evelynrivera3366]

I just received my package and let me tell you...those blushes are amazing!!!! And the foundation also 🙌🙌🙌

[@teshy4237]

Ok but what curling cream do you use? 🤣

[@aliciaarcher]

Hahaha! Today was a mixture of the Melanin Leave In, twist cream, and some Uncle Funky’s Curly Magic ✨

[@estrellacorona3706]

I always appreciate how thorough you are in your 1st impressions/product review videos. I am just getting into cream makeup and really interested in cream blushes. I have just added the LYS blush in Confident onto my list of cream blushes I’m interested in. I also love the idea of supporting a black-owned clean beauty brand. I look forward to your cream blush video!

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Wow, beautiful brand, i also said to Chelsea: i really hope it comes to Europe!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for the good video again, sending you lots of love!!!!!!!!😘😘😘😘

[@cinemaocd1752]

It's such a good idea to have a light coverage/glowy foundation in a big shade range. It's about time! I'm so impressed with the price point and packaging for this brand. When I finish my current foundation, I'm going to check them out.

[@lesawilson7098]

I always enjoy your videos although some are over 30 minutes long, they are always detailed & informative regarding the products you are reviewing AND you are SO funny!

[@96unique2]

Alicia! I literally just received this foundation and primer in the mail! This video just reinforces my love of the products! Thanks for the great video! Love your content so much lately!

[@aliciaarcher]

Hi Jordene!!! 🙆🏽‍♀️💕

[@jaymindyabiz6266]

Omg I think I’m definitely going to be going back to LYS over and over. The blushes in this video were the prettiest blush shade’s I’ve ever seen, especially for my medium/Tan skin tone. I love how pigmented their products are and I feel like you get such a good amount of great quality product for great prices. I’m definitely buying all three of those blushes. Confident was definitely my favorite. But I adored them all. I already ordered their cream bronzer stick in Tan and I can’t wait to receive it.

[@agataloca]

Great review, very thorough as usual. Love the section dividers. But again, I find myself wondering what's on your nails (both colors), pls? EDIT: Found it, my bad. Great you had it in the desc box (although I thought I'd looked there before asking). Btw, those Cirque Colors rhinestones I asked about last time? Sold out. But w/ your info, I managed to track down what I believe are dupes on Etsy, and am now eagerly awaiting 5 kinds of nail art stones incl those both. Can't wait!

[@annt7384]

Good to know about the box from the LYS site. Fwiw I paid $4 extra for a gift box from items I purchased on the Rose inc site and I love it. Makes a nice box to organize makeup. I love the LYS serum foundation and I’m considering their concealer now, too.

[@courtneycullen6289]

I can deal with the Kaolin lower on the deck on an affordable clean blush than a luxury clean blush. I don't think it has a skincare benefit, I think it's for texture and grip without silicone. And I prefer it to silicone in a cream blush because I want my cream blush to last (I'm on team silicone, just not in blush). I don't mind that the plant extracts aren't in the top 5, honestly I would be worried if they were, because, like baking bread, I don't want more cinnamon than flour. I get the niacinamide, but BE CAREFUL I use a strong niacinamide serum in the AM because of it's effect on Vit C, because I have the lupus butterfly across my face and everything in AM is brightening and evening because I have so much red hyperpigmentation, but stray niacinamide in moisturizer, foundation, makeup can really irritate my skin (same with C, same with hylauronic acid). I don't like actives in my makeup (I don't like them in primer/sunscreen/moisturizer) because they add up. But if you aren't using heavy actives, then yay, a little extra bright and fade. But I really don't understand how actives in makeup means clean, but who knows what clean means. Literally. WHO KNOWS. But anyway, I'm intrigued and I love the packaging.

[@escapereader6185]

I ordered several blushes and a bronzer from the brand but nothing has arrived. Texas!!!!!! So I am waiting for 3 orders that are from the 12th & 19th. 🥲 and now Sephora is out of this brand and the Westman Atillia and so many others that I am dipping my toes into. Restock-the weather is clearing. But thank you for the review and comparisons. It helped a lot. You are awesome & you have cost me a lot of money 💰 💜💜💜K

[@haemahravanan1069]

Now I saw more companies come up with clean beauty tag,I really want to know your suggestions among WA,Merit,YLS,which one you will add in repurchaseing list?,i like this video,I will wait for your second review about this ,whether to go or not .thank you☺

[@MrJupiter829]

Alicia, thanks for the video! Which of these bronzers do you recommend if you're trying to contour? I'm about your complexion.

[@nancewhx]

Love all the details on the products in this video. I watched everything from beginning to end. Thank you. 👍🏼

[@vikkismith1495]

I really like this review. i was on a no buy for the remainder of February but after this i purchased two foundations TN6 & TN3 (to see which one is better), setting powder and a bronzer. The blushes are mostly out of stock on Sephora and LYS. I can't wait to try them.

[@shannantiffin8119]

Just added another blush color to my list. I am excited to try this line, just trying to figure out a good foundation color for olive/yellow undertones. Also hearing LE is coming out with new lipsticks and possibly a blush maybe in May? Have to save just in case.

[@kimberlyfouche8119]

Hi foundation twin! Would you try the banana setting powder. I’m on the fence since I love my PMG under eye setting powder.

[@somethingdianne7481]

Would you recommend / do you think you would rather reach for the LYS matte bronzer or the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush bronzer?

[@callalily4052]

I really like all three of those blushes and the "peach nude" shade you mentioned probably has my future attention. That coral terracotta tho. I enjoy cream blushes in general and I'd love a cream blush dedicated video. As you know, bronzer videos are *always* welcome. I like the look of those LYS bronzers too. The middle one could work in the Summer, the other two look like they have good tones for me. They are really pretty components and the price point seems more than reasonable. You know we'll spend some money but it's nice when someone gives us a break once in a while. Please show us some shots of the world outside your place. Is it a Winter Wonderland or a frozen slush nightmare from Hell?

[@erinp.7550]

Great review! Im definitely interested in this line. Does the translucent pressed powder pull more pink or yellow undertoned? Does it come with an applicator? Thanks!

[@tee_jay1130]

Yaaayyyy!!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I haven’t even watched yet but I’m excited. When you said you were going to review LYS I didn’t think it would be this fast. Thanks friend. ☺️☺️

[@MsSavvy9]

I might have to break my cream blush no buy... thas... pretty...😍

[@chloedemure]

This Canadian says Yesss, foundation made here 😀. Just came to Sephora Canada. I ordered foundation, bronzer and blush. If i just didn’t buy 3 new powders lol (i may have a problem) I would of got that too! Cannot wait till it arrives! 😀

[@TracyD2]

Natural is skin before skincare satin is after all your skincare unless you have very oily skin. Oh never mind.

[@annieoscar]

Did you try wearing the foundation under a mask? Really anxious to hear how it did!❤️

Didn't get anything yet cause of shipping restrictions to this side of the pond (Don't think any Sephora in Europe has it yet) ... Hopefully soon, just love the packaging and your review made me want to buy them even more 😍, like always 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️😁😂😂😂

[@zeta.x712]

I want to love this channel’s content but 48mins! Whew.

[@aliciaarcher]

Yeah, that’s why I have the time blocks. I’m not for everyone-

[@LocMaiden]

Great first impression. These products blends beautifully and looks effortless to apply. Excited and anxiously waiting for my order. Ordered from their site on launch day 2/14. Love your triangle earrings, very fitting for this video. I spy a dupe? Tower 28 and fenty blushes. Thank you.....I already have rosé latte, so I will make a mental note not to buy that tower 28 blush.

[@barbarateterus8252]

I am having FOMO over these the blushes 💕. (I dont need them.....i just WANT them)

[@MsSavvy9]

I like a light medium coverage because medium to full makes my freckles look weird or go away... no thanks... that said. I will never finish a foundation in 9 months. It's unfortunately a skip for me. Looks so pretty though!

[@firstlostgirl.]

You need more subs and views!!! I honestly don't have any questions about the brand. You have covered everything!! I personally ejoyed your insightful recommendations as to what type of brushes to use and how the results may vary!! I have never consider that when watching a review! Thank you 🙌💕

[@kaelamayzus9180]

Yes! I bought TG1 and TN3 because it’s hard to choose shades online and I’m so happy TN3 works for you because that means it works for me too! I might have to pick up that harmony bronzer shade though!!

[@latinamakeup]

Alicia!! I love your reviews! I actually asked Tisha personally which option benefited them more as a brand: either buying from their page or Sephora and she said Sephora!! Because that way Sephora sees it as an indicator to maintain Black owned brands in their shelf/online stores and to encourage them to curate more!!!

[@mims2582]

What an amazing product line. And your detailed reviews!!! ❤️❤️

[@julietoye9872]

Beautiful 😊💖

[@meggen385]

Really appreciate your swatches and comparisons at the end!! I would prefer a brand not just marketing based on race but its quality, inclusivity and corporate social responsibility. Its more diverse and easier to get attention across the board than being boxed in. Just my opinion.

[@SharonDJohnson515]

Great review! I took notes! ✍🏾 I might do Harmony bronzer and Inspire blush.

[@dreambean.]

I just saw someone on reddit recommend your channel,and I'm so glad they did! This video is a really fantastic introduction to the brand,and I thoroughly appreciate how informative you were,and that you took the time to actually discuss the products' performance. It's bonkers to me,but it does seem to be increasingly rare in reviews these days lol. I also love that you went to the extra effort of including comparison swatches at the end,that sort of thing can be so helpful to viewers. I just subscribed & am really looking forward to watching more of your content! (＊˙︶˙＊)

[@cindybrat837]

This brand looks amazing. I use "clean" natural hair products, so I would love to try a BOMB with this claim as well. I am particularly intrigued by the blush. Thanks for this video!

[@AdrienneAli611]

I’m intrigued, I definitely want to try the bronzers, blushes, and setting powder. Thanks for the thorough review as always.

[@taya12020]

Heyyy, I took a leap and made an order on the LYS website this morning. I'm so glad I held off on the Tower 28 creams (even though I said I was gonna leave cream blushes alone because they aren't my jam lol) b/c this coral shade is everything. A few of the cream blush shades are sold out on Sephora so that's why I went to the brand's site and I also got the mauve shade to go with my everyday looks. I snatched up the foundation too because watching another youtuber who is my shade match made me pretty confident in choosing online. I'm pretty excited to try everything and I love that the prices are so reasonable b/c I need a break lol.

[@amberlong87]

Hey girl!! Such a beautiful IN DEPTH review as always 😍 I appreciate you, in case no one has told you today 🤣 I had already ordered but now I want some blush 🥴

[@rhiannah9939]

I’m excited for this! The products are pretty and hit a specific market at this price range. Not Fenty expensive and not drugstore. Accessible, and have inclusive products. Excited to see what else they are going to develop!

[@Rigs268]

Thank you for giving the important details on this brand and what it is about as a Black woman. Seeing all the white woman of KZbin reviewing this for wokeness, was frustrating to watch.

You are le queen of swatches. Both product being evaluated and comparisons to other brands.

[@moniquebarker129]

Great thorough review!! Much appreciated now I know what I want from this line 😉❤️

[@francesaranda]

Thank you as always for your thorough review of this new brand. It is definitely a promising new company. I would buy several of the items based on your review but I’ll have to wait until I return to work in person. I am not wearing makeup while working at home.
