MY 2018 BEAUTY FAVOURITES 💦

[@MariahLeonard]

I could watch you apply makeup all day long.

[@MariahLeonard]

Also I've started applying base with my hands now after watching your techniques, and WOW. Everything looks SO much more natural and really has so much more coverage. A++

[@joclourey5118]

Mariah u are my queen

[@amyfoster3732]

[@luizamor4503]

[@paoloarceo9618]

[@RobynKimberly]

[@bridgettedeveney1335]

LMAOOO true

[@MegSays]

This is the first video of yours I've EVER watched and omg I think I've found a KZbinr (and human in general) who I'm gonna adore forever! I legit wanna buy every single product you talked about and you're so funny and genuine and downright gorgeous!!!

[@dariac5329]

[@valerielancaster9238]

Watch more, she's hilarious and always genuine.

[@elanrhys778]

Yay! Welcome!! She's the best x

[@pandemmonium]

Hi Allanaaa!! I honestly much prefer favorites videos where the person is putting on the makeup they are talking about, so I truly appreciate this type of video!! Its great to see the products perform instead of just describing them through words. Much love from Texas!

[@genesisperez2162]

Allana!!! Do you happen to have the UD born to run palette? I’d love to see a 3 looks 1 palette video using it ☺️

[@julietteorwhateva2163]

Genesis Perez yes please!!!! Please please please!

[@gstrat710]

YES PLEASE!!!

[@amandaburkert8748]

Yes please !!!! Would love to see that ❤️

[@emilievalcke3262]

I hate to be that person haha, but i just started a channel and have a video using the born to run palette! Not 3 looks though :p

[@genesisperez2162]

Lilac Eve I’ll check it out :)

[@caitlin2853]

Did I hear you offer a tutorial using the cool side of the Fenty Moroccan palette? Well ok Lan, well gladly take it!!!!

[@Arovarel]

OMG THIS BACKGROUND IS PERFECT 😍🤩

[@MorganTurnerMakeup]

im obsessed with your face, it was MADE for makeup lol

[@mysterioussauce]

Thanks for all those great recommendations Allana. I really liked the way you actually used the products as you described them, very helpful!! I also really appreciated how you put the colours in the description, it makes it so easy when I want to refer back to, or when I want to go out and purchase one of the products. Love your videos and your fun and quirky personality. You're amazing!

[@Heyyy_69-s9p]

You should try the MAC “Delphic” bronzer it is a beautiful bronze color and has a silky finish, it is not mate and it has a little bit of a sheen to it.

[@wendyp4135]

100% agree with you on the Dior matte lip glows - I'm SO hoping they will add more colours, the formula is just the best.

[@polocub1429]

Love this new setup. Lighting is on point!

[@thesimplepeachify]

That Kevyn Aucoin contour powder IS the best, i dont even look at anything else😍

[@whatsthestorymorningglory2495]

Same. I layer it over my Milk bronzer stick, and it just comes out perfectly.

[@Wiktoria1098]

i think i'll never get tired of this look

[@jd3441]

Bare minerals complexion rescue tinted moisturizer won me over this year! Beautiful sheer and glowy application.

[@kyliee659]

I love your content Allana. Your whole mood/personality is the best! And I always trust your opinion on products and love that you continuously use the same ones. I'd love to see a drugstore version of this as well please!

[@briannasbeautycorner9866]

The smash box primerizer works well with my oily skin too! I don’t like a super matte look anyways, but I feel like it doesn’t make me oily.

[@molliekravitz7126]

I love how natural and glowy you do makeup. Also...those Burts Bees lipsticks are incredible. I am obsessed and going to keep picking up more colors.

[@plume1639]

Alana, I say the same thing whenever I comment on your videos: you are sooo talented-such an artist! Your looks are never overdone. I would love it if you ever have time to make up someone in their 50’s and 60’s. I would enjoy seeing how you make them not look overdone but glamorous. I would frame a note from Lisa Eldridge too! Thank you for sharing all you do with us!🤗💕❤️💕❤️💕

[@valerielancaster9238]

Your makeup in this has that pure and natural, retro-style that looks so sophisticated! Goals for this year, it's gonna be the trend I think.

[@ashleyjohnson4423]

Loved you mentioned the L’Oréal glow! Definitely an underrated favorite, but something I didn’t stop using this year thanks to you! Also love this filming location, feels very comfy and homey.

[@marijanamiloshevska7297]

That background would be so great for future Q&A's or other chatty videos! It's so cozy and it matched your look so well

[@ivonnelee2714]

Love this style of yearly favorites video :) Watching you do a comparison to last year's favorites & actually putting them on while talking through it really helps me see why they're your favs + how you apply them

[@erim5048]

You got me hooked on the Lancôme mascara as well,it was not a love with first use but, boy oh boy,didn't I change my mind! It is, that good. One my favourite products this year was,also another mascara,Dimension de Chanel . Honestly ,it makes my modest lashes look AMAZING and it's also smudge proof and long-lasting.

[@lucizhang1050]

I love the new make up from shiseido.. you should try their lipstick “ visionary gel” best formula..

[@nikitangel01]

I loove your favs - most are also my favs (bronzer obsessed) Please do a lifestyle favs video? I'd love to see your favs that are not beauty related ❤️

[@ClareElizabeth97]

Yes yes yes!

[@MicahRion]

I’d love to see that too!

[@jilliank1191]

Really liked this style of favorites over the year where you applied all the makeup. A++++

[@MrsBrent]

I first discovered you channel when I saw your 2017 favourites, wow feels like yesterday been watching pretty much all of you videos since!

[@lemonita347]

Your skin looks stunning with that highlight and bronzer! I love how you apply your makeup and how its not like every other beauty guru. Love from Edmonton!

[@silviag]

Hola! Thanks for your videos. A a really Kevin Aucoin Sculpure powder fan, I have to say you that since the moment I bought the Nyx Taupe blush I forgot the Kevin one. You have to try it. It’s 😍😍😍 besos

[@shelbyhamilton1193]

I loved the Marc Jacobs bronzer too! Bought it because Jamie Paige Beauty talked about so much and now I’m obsessed!!

[@sanajaffer6382]

Yess love that you actually used the products in this video. I love the 2018 round up videos but wish others would actually use or swatch each product in the video

[@celestekerridge7581]

I live in Victoria, BC so I think it's so cool that you're Canadian! You should do a makeup collection video!

[@Dani-vb9if]

Your apartment is coming together and looking so beautiful! You should absolutely share more about your home design 😍

[@fesch9927]

Danielle Alkola I don’t think that this is actually her apartment. She’s on a trip with Fresh in Cabo(!?), so it’s probs her hotel room/suite. But it sure does look beautiful!

[@Dani-vb9if]

Dafty 110 omg you’re probably right 😂 welp if that’s the case than the hotel is gorgeous 🤷🏻‍♀️😅

[@wortega20]

What shade in the born this way did you use???????? Thanks!

[@annlatham]

wortega20 I’m currently trying to find a good one for me , I’m fair but love to have a slightly darker shade!

[@montsepugh3878]

I'm living for your background! Also.. I'm always in awe of how you apply bronzer. The charlotte tilbury has stayed my fav! xoxo

[@kerrylovesb4918]

Love this background! And your hair!! Great changes for the new year 🎉😍✨✨

[@valerielancaster9238]

Agree, that lamp and chairs 😍

[@Roohmy]

Which shade do you have for the toofaced born this way concealer? I dont know which one to order! 🙈

[@oliviab650]

I’m obsessed with that hourglass brilliant nude because of you! It’s so beautiful on the skin

[@jennlecher5604]

****Thank you so much for actually putting the products on your face. It was getting boring watching peoples favorites videos (because that's all anybody is uploading). It makes it FUN to watch when you're using the products!***

[@emilyt1742]

Over the past year I have LIVED for you and your channel - the only thing I could really afford however was the Burt’s Bees Suede Splash and oh my god. It is to die for!!! Easily my favourite lipstick to date, just going ahead of Mac’s Viva Glam lipstick. It’s almost the exact colour of my lips and wears beautifully !!! Thank you so much Allana ♥️ keep doing you gal and we love you! ♥️♥️

[@DeborahSutherlandDebinPei]

🏃‍♀️ me running to get the BB Suede Splash ❣

[@patricebailey1473]

Suede splash is my all time favorite lipstick!!! I’ve been through like 6 of them

[@bloord123]

For sure my new fave beauty youtuber. PLEASE stay honest, that is def what makes you stand apart for me. Now i need everything in this video!

[@JenAlguire]

When Allana tells you it’s her fav, then you take her advice and you buy it, it becomes your fav as well! Soft glam pallet, Lancôme products (all), Hourglass products (all) Burt’s Bees products (allllll), Nars Soft Matte - the only concealer I’ve used that I actually like! Becca limited edition bronzer.. bought it, love it, use it every freaking day!!!! Thanks for the suggestions and no wonder I’m a Rough Sephora member!!! 😳😳😳

[@victoriasevilla8315]

this whole background, living room, aesthetic ugh i LOVE the rusty tones and pops of green yeeeeesssss

[@Sndbns]

Hi Allana, i really really like your style and i wish that you would make a video on your rings collection i just love them and i like how you wear them together.

[@sierrasmarra]

Love this style of favorites!! The other ones with no make up application are boring. This is brilliant.

[@walaamuneer12]

My favorites: rms beauty living luminazier, essence matte blush in the shade 30-rose me up, Chanel coco rouge in the shade 438-suzanne, Chanel rouge coco gloss in the shade 716- caramel, nars soft matt complete concealer, bioderma hydrabio Crème rich moisturizer care, bioderma atoderm intensive gel moussant foaming gel, johnson’s baby oil for my body and hair sometimes.. love your make up as always 😍

[@freddie6264]

I love the lip lacquers because of you! You should also try the Bobbi Brown crushed liquid lip colors! They leave the most beautiful balmy stain 💄💋

[@somaroychoudhary7705]

I am a huge fan of Smashbox the original Photo Finish smooth & blur Primer! I am going to give the primerizer a chance this year!

[@sammyjammybobammy]

Your hair is looking exceptionally dope in this video!

[@quanquan0]

Omg I didn’t know you can remove the brush from the nude stix products either. Thanks for sharing

[@GoldBloodedBeauty]

Omg the twist off brush is a game changer!!

[@vivifineart]

I definitely need to try: Glossier primerizer, labsolu lipglosses and the two faced concealer (as soon as I have finished up similar products I'm using right now). 🤔😍🤗

[@mmmeagan]

The blue in the Moroccan spice palette is GORGEOUS. You should do a look with it 💙💙💙💙💙💙

[@courtneylynn1720]

Loved the background and that you actually put all the product on as you talked about it!

[@aishashabbar]

I bought Nars Fort de France because of your recommendation and it's my top makeup product from 2018 for sure!!

[@romakaristi]

this background/camera setting is giving me life!! im so excited and happy for ur upcoming videos for 2019 !!

[@mariajohnson1452]

oh my gosh wherever you’re filming is beautiful! love the change in scenery

[@mangopoppy]

Allana, can you please do a jewelry collection video? Or your favorite jewelry brands. I am looking for nice classic pieces and could use your help! 😊💕💍

[@jennlecher5604]

Allana! I found a way to get the look of the IT Cosmetics CC Cream without the tackiness on the skin! I mix it with the Wet N Wild Photofocus Foundation (which alone for me is a little bit matte, which I don't love) in order to find a way to use both I mixed them and the result is SPECTACULAR

[@sundrenchedmelancholy]

The Marc Jacobs bronzer and Becca bronzer were both limited edition but are now both back at Sephora :)))))

[@AlyssaCuellar-holisticlyss]

Jannel Rozette BLESS YOU

[@be8cab]

@@AlyssaCuellar-holisticlyss bless you more.

[@joanschaefer]

This was a great video - watching you apply while you talk about your favs. My favs are the Benefit Brow and Born this Way Concealer. A must for every gal's makeup table. Thanks Lan. XO

[@alexs8253]

Totally agree re. Dior Lip Glow - loved their regular formula in the shade 'Berry' this year. For eyeshadow - 2018 was such a quest! I remember being inspired by your choice of Marc Jacobs (I think it was called "glow girl?") and Shiseido Aura Dew to resume my search for the ultimate pink champagne shade. Years ago, I used to have a Lancome travel palette (hands up who remembers the original L'Absolu Voyage?) that had THE EYESHADOW, but they've discontinued it and I never found a worthy replacement :/. It was a very unique, neutral pink champagne with a silver foil that sent my green irises to what I call "next level". But every other champagne shade I've ever tried after that was too - too beige, too gold, too pink, too dry, too wet... I couldn't justify spending the coin on either of your favourites (having bought way too many Lancome lookalikes only to discover that they're not IT) . Having searched high and low, I've finally looked to the Polish drugstore and found a foil effect formula by the brand Paese - their shade 'quartz' is everything that Lancome shade ever was and more! It is stunning. Definitely my main 2018 favourite x

[@andjela666vortex]

My faves were Bourjois Healthy Mix foundation, Inglot x J.Lo "Livin the highlight", Sephora Lipstories in the shade 2.. I have a lot but those are my best of the best. Love youu

[@dianarusnov292]

If your cream eyeshadow is drying up, just pour a few drops of visine or any eye drops and mix it. Did it with one of my Chanel eyeshadows, and it came out like new! :)

[@pamelacorral1151]

Have you tried the dior backstage foundation? If not I think you would enjoy it.

[@brittanyhunt5300]

Apparently I’ve already purchased all of your favorites because you never let us down! I always love your recommendations.

[@littlemissstilly]

I love that you linked Anna's video and that you two support each other so much, definitely two of my favourite youtubers and you two seem so kind hearted and lovely to each other which makes me love you all the more

[@MissMermaid123456]

if you want the old warm soul, you should try "hushed toned" by MAC. it looks terrifying in the pan but with a fluffy brush its the best thing I found the compared to the "old" warm soul x

[@kyliedunmire7280]

Favorites videos make me love makeup even more. I love hearing fellow beauty junkies talk about what they love and why they love it.

[@nawalsanaullah]

ALLANA I MIGHT HAVE A LIP LINER TO SUIT YOUR DESIRES ive noticed that you and kathleen have kind of a similar style and she loves the pat mcgrath permagel lip liner in contour. Try it. I might just be the one

[@lw6798]

Love your channel! Could you please link the brushes you are using?

[@christinel9595]

Your makeup in this video is absolutely stunning.

[@PoisonOfSara]

What is your shade in your Too Faced concealer?

[@TheAnnaEdit]

ALLANA! You babe. Also this video is basically my beauty shopping list for 2019 x

[@carriemroczkowski9409]

Lovely faves. I have two that really stand out for me. Dior’s Face and Body and CP’s Fame palette. Adore them both:) Thanks for sharing your faves, chickadee🍃🌸.

[@kathleenswenning9915]

You are becoming more and more beautiful, you seem so much more comfortable in your own skin, therefore more confident, you’re becoming more and more a woman, a sensual, multi layered, powerful Bawse woman, there is so much more to say but all leave it at that, know that what I have written are all awesome compliments in my book, it’s so amazing to watch you grow, I’m looking forward to watching your continued growth for as long as you keep sharing your life, and I am able to experience it from afar, but it does feel like I’m right there most of the time, Thank you!!!!

[@bnb0510]

The L'Oréal glotion is the best thing since sliced bread! I can't live without it!

[@mia7561]

You should defo try the YSL Touche Éclat All-In-One Glow foundation!!!!

[@maggisellers4696]

This is the most gorgeous makeup look!

[@brittanyrose7718]

Love this video! I think it would be great to do some sort of “Products I’m getting out of storage now that spring is approaching and the weather is changing” (title up for revision) video when the weather starts warming up again! ❤️

[@jensenmayne9878]

I've really dived into cream products this year too! Been absolutely loving all of milk makeups products, especially their cream blushes and bronzer. I also really like a lot of Glossier's products (and I'm patiently waiting at my door for the mail truck to arrive with my next order). Really have been focussing a lot more on skin care this year and getting away from full coverage products.

[@jacquie94]

You and Jaime Paige have helped me find some of my all time favorite products. I am now on a No Buy/Low Buy plan- but honestly- I have such great makeup that I really love (again- thank you for pointing me towards many of them!) and I want to really use and appreciate what I have. So, just, thank you. If you have loved a product over time, it's always a win.

[@LPOW84]

I lOOooooOoooOoOve that Becca sunrise waves bronzer!

[@MorganWinters]

Nyx Natural lip liner is very similar to MAC Stripdown. It’s a little more creamier. Try it out!

[@nataliekassir578]

Please do a “full face of last years favorites” video!! I would be interested in seeing how you feel about those products you once loved!!

[@SteffiHoran]

i have the lancome monsieur big in the waterproof version and i put it on, cried really hard for 15 min and it did NOT move. The best waterproof mascara that exists

[@suzylefleming2556]

First video I saw of yours and I’m so fricking happy cause you’re my new fave KZbinr! I love that I can get most these products in NZ too! And you have dry skin like meeeee omg thank you thank you thank you

[@ChristinaLovesSushi]

I have gotten so many of your recs and have loved them! Marc Jacobs Bronzer, Burts Bees Lip crayon, and the It cosmetics CC cream. Happy new year Allana:)

[@atill3805]

Can you review the new fenty concealer? 😊

[@3aroosZarif]

The Lancôme Lacquer in 515 is lush! It’s so beautiful. You also switched me to Lancôme Big Monsieur mascara, though it tends to get clumpy, do you ever get that? Can you mention the blush brushes you use because it makes the whole bronzer-blush area so well blended!!! Huge fan xoxo

[@kristyn1882]

I just bought the shiseido aura dew and I’m pumped!!

[@elleten6785]

I would love to see you do a video where you go back to one of your early favourites videos and tell us what you think of the products now!

[@bekkalea2465]

Oh my 😍 that look is amazing and sooooo beautiful and warm ❤️❤️❤️I loved it!!! Owen Wilson WOW!! ☘️💋 I wish I had gotten my hands on the L.E. velvets lipsticks too... I'm glad you got a chance to have them though (: thanks for sharing!!!!

[@elanrhys778]

The BEST kind of video - love it. Thank you x Is there any way we can find out when Lisa Eldridge will restock the lipsticks?

[@kalynpirwitz8882]

I’m so glad you are putting it on as you tell us!! I hate videos that are just like hey this is what I like... I wanna see the product!

[@michellefillipini2170]

This is my favorite favorites video! I love your makeup style very similar to mine now! Your makeup is stunning!

[@bunnyb1676]

Thanks for comparing your new faves to last year’s! You are very consistent with what you use, so its really neat to hear why you may have changed favorites! Also, definitely going to pick up that Shishedo shadow... It just looks so beautiful! Hope the new year is treating you well, Allana, and excited to see where you take your channel in 2019!

[@erica8645]

Yeah man the soft glam pallet. I'm no makeup expert but the colours in soft glam make it look like I know what I'm doing. 100% credited for my makeup skills glow-up

[@melissaandreag]

Your skin looks INCREDIBLE here 😍 (yes, even with your blemishes)
