[@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.

[@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.

[@ayshaf5505]

Love that your earrings match their branding 😍📐🔽▶️

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you! Had to represent! 🔼

[@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.

[@Rforsch1]

“Three bronzers; shut up!” 😂🤣🤪

[@chloedemure]

I laughed so hard 😂

[@VictoriaJames]

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

[@aliciaarcher]

Friend, you’re going to go nutzzz!!!

[@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. ♥️

[@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!

[@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!

[@meimimiyasaki]

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

[@Ashleygcrutchfield]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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!! 😍

[@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 😍

[@mariceladaini9304]

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

[@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.

[@jillpappas6508]

No matter how many blushes I have (my favorite beauty product) you always make me want to buy more. These colors all looked so good on you...so soft and like a water color but not lost on your face.

[@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!!!!

[@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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@nancewhx]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@erab6539]

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

[@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!

[@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!

[@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. ☺️☺️

[@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!

[@trillenesmith8143]

We love you silly!!!! Best, beautiful, and unique. Love your channel!! 💜

[@aliciaarcher]

🙈💕🙆🏽‍♀️ Thank you, Trillene!!

[@beingcasual5804]

Your reviews are just the best !!! Every time I watch your reviews I’m so well informed not just on the products but also the brand as a whole. Thank you ! 😊😘❤️

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you for that! That’s what I want to become better at: presenting brand knowledge, as well as product details!

[@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

[@Mmmelisssa]

LOVE your thorough reviews! 💜💜💜

[@aliciaarcher]

Thank you so much, Melissa!!

[@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.

[@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. 😉🙂

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

I’m so impressed by this brand! The quality of ingredients and the beautiful packaging for really reasonable prices. I’m putting together my first order and getting some blushes for my mom and sis in law.

[@aliciaarcher]

Ooooo! What great gifts!

[@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)?

[@LifeOfCherryJane]

Just ordered the bronzer, banana powder and primer!

[@noodlep2547]

This look is definitely giving summer vibes, while the Westman Atelier looked very bridal, very lovely both

[@12mooiyrwwtunf]

When I ordered the bronzer I got the lightest shade as it reminded me of CT medium too. I'm light medium neutral border cool and more towards the light side. I'm so glad you compared them bc I know I made the right choice! As always these product review videos are stellar!

[@annieoscar]

Really exciting that these products are so beautiful at an accessible price point!👏❤️

[@evelynrivera3366]

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

[@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 🙌💕

[@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 ❤

[@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!!

[@Dana-712FifthAve]

I’m falling behind my Kinkysweat videos!

[@mims2582]

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

[@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.

[@lawanasparker-doggett4660]

Thanks Alicia, for the upload. I've been waiting on this one. I really appreciate your through and concise videos. I have come to expect nothing less than exceptional from you. Makeup is an addiction and I don't want to be cured!

[@AdrienneAli611]

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

[@jarmillex3198]

the blushes look amazing.

[@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?

[@courtneycullen6289]

Aaaannnd... I need all the blushes. Especially the red. But all. TKS.

[@aliciaarcher]

WHEW! Inspire is just to die for!

[@vispandex]

the blushes and the foundation also the lip oil are on my must have list. I ordered the primer I hope it doesn't let me down

[@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

[@wagnerab1958]

Great review, ok you've convinced me to order the blushes. So gorgeous! Thank you

[@jgkicks4864]

Those first 2 blushes!!! 😍😍

[@annieoscar]

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

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

That box is beautiful! I don’t think it’s silly to save boxes! I reuse big, sturdy ones and upcycle the smaller ones with cool designs and patterns (for crafts with kids, homemade cards, mixed media)

[@aliciaarcher]

Same! It was getting a little out of hand, but I still insist on keeping the ultra beautiful ones 🤣

[@monarock9552]

I’m impressed! Gotta try a few things from the line in support. 👏🏾

[@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.

[@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!

[@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.

[@pisangkepok]

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 😷).

Awesome content per usual.

[@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!!!

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.

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 🤣💸

[@gymgirl2]

Really appreciate the bronzer comparisons. I've been trying to find a dupe for Hoola Caramel b/c (like you) I also despise that dumb box packaging. Is the Hoola noticeably more yellow than Harmony?

[@aliciaarcher]

I think it is. Harmony leans more golden, while Hoola has more of a yellow hue to it. I can double check! I want to do a bronzer round up, so that I can better present the differences!

[@gymgirl2]

@@aliciaarcher Ughhh that's what I was afraid of. The yellowy-ness of Hoola Caramel is what makes it soo hard to dupe. Thank you for the info!
