My 2024 Mid Year Makeup Faves & Regrets!

[@MartinaLily]

Hi Friends! Congratulations to Carolyn for winning the giveaway! I hope you love your goodies xx

[@raquel8780]

I really appreciate how thoughtful and kind you are even when you speak about products you ended up not liking at all. Appreciate the inclusivity and enjoy your content!

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so so much! xxx

[@violetviolet888]

Always enjoy your videos. Thank you Martina.

[@the_makeup_tax_lady]

Fun video! Thanks for sharing all your thoughts, loves, and regrets 💙

[@pamelacooke489]

I love my Dior duo lol I got the pink/lilac and I do have to build up the blush quite a bit but the lilac over the top is so pretty. However, I am very fair so it will only show up on certain people. I guess that’s why they have the really intense plum one which I wouldn’t even be brave enough to try! I want those Dior sticks too!

[@melissapuppe4104]

The dior sticks just launched on the us dior site.

[@deborahsmart7406]

Fabulous run down on foundations xx

[@jessabeauty917]

I found this channel with a mid year or end of the year and have been here since. Great content, Martina.

[@MartinaLily]

Aw thank you so much! xxx

[@maddyfox8545]

Thanks for the comprehensive review. Considering the under eye primer particularly and maybe the Chanel concealer. I’m a bit put off my the component, but the product itself seems undeniably beautiful 😊

[@deborahsmart7406]

That was an amazing video all round - the content rundown so helpful - well done gorgeous xx

[@MartinaLily]

Aw thank you so much lovely! xx

[@JessicaHopeHarvey]

Can’t wait to see the look you are wearing now!

[@MartinaLily]

Posting today for members! xx

[@Ari_Kle]

Thank you for this lovely long video! ❤

[@aoyhan5757]

Love to listen to you talk about makeup! Thank you so much for sharing.❤

[@rebeccawainwright4515]

I love watching your videos and how detailed you are about who what when where why. It makes it really helpful for us to follow along and maybe pick up something you love. I really cannot wait for the Dior foundation, that’s gonna be my first foundation stick purchase and I’m excited to try it!

[@MartinaLily]

Aw thank you! I'm so glad they are helpful. When you pick it up please let me know what you think! xx

[@carolynlindenmayer3577]

Wow this was a long one today and yay I made it to the end. A recent purchase I've been loving is the Made by Mitchell Curve Case XL cream blush palette. They are gorgeous.

[@MartinaLily]

Soo long! haha thanks for making it to the end! Oh I'll have to have a peep at that one xx

[@melissapuppe4104]

I just bought the Chanel sublimage concealer. Can’t wait to try it. I swear whenever I watch makeup videos, I always end up spending money 😂😂😂 I just can’t help it

[@allisonbb716]

I agree with you on everything (including loving Theresa but not necessarily her taste in makeup). However, the Sisley concealer has been a game changer for me. My undereyes need to be very moisturized and then I use a teeny tiny bit. It lasts all day and my undereye darkness vanishes. In any event, thank you for the thorough midyear updates! I so enjoy your channel.

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you lovely! I am glad you love the Sisley concealer though cos it is so expensive so it wasn't a waste of money for you xx

[@FluffyFibers]

That was so fun to watch - what a labour of love the editing must have been, but the details are all so helpful! Will you be covering eyeshadows in another video? I always love your choices for these as well. Thank you for this video!

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you liked it. Yep eyeshadows will be a separate video xx

[@FluffyFibers]

@@MartinaLily That's lovely news - thank you so much! I'm watching you all the way from Southern France and love all of your videos 😊

[@courtneygavel2939]

I started with Chanel no. 1 foundation and loved it so much I got the Les beiges, and the sublimage concealer followed….I love them all 💕😍

[@MartinaLily]

Haha I can relate! xx

[@laurenb6156]

Fun video! Thanks for including all the swatches! So helpful for us fair people. I love the Chanel trio, Danessa Myricks lowlighters and really, really want the Lancôme bronzer! I’m waiting for a sale or good gwp offer. So glad they finally came to the US.

[@nicolawillis1581]

Did you know with the Refy clear brow glue stuff if you pull the lid instead of twist you get a different brush/comb? Discovered this by accident one day. So you can put the products on with the applicator then comb it through with the other brush. So tempted by the bronzers you mentioned (the YSL and the Lancôme) but really trying so hard to cut down on my makeup purchases, until I’ve at least used some things up xx

[@MartinaLily]

Oh yes! I forgot that the lid came off actually haha Ohh I'm so not the person to talk to if you're trying to cut down on purchases cos I'm an enabler haha xx

[@pinagrrrr2280]

Try Dior veil primer if you have oily skin. I love so many Dior stuff, even Star Glow I use as a highlight in shade 1 that goes well with my rosacea. I also like some Dior forever and some Dior backstage those mono blushes they have some nice shades, and Dior forever foundation in 2N is my perfect shade. Also, I have much loved forever concealer but I like the Backstage one.

[@annysa3662]

It’s that time of the year again, the time to talk about Pat!!! (I know, I am still excited) 😊

[@MartinaLily]

Except... no mothership? I was so keen to see what she was going to do for it this year. Maybe it'll be at the end of the year? xx

[@mariyazaba]

Great video ❤ Omg what are you wearing on your eyes? It is beautiful:)

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you! The look will be up tomorrow but it's Danessa Colorfix in Olive You and Dior Beige Mitzvah xx

[@mariyazaba]

@@MartinaLily awesome :). I have Beige Mitzah and I love it

[@nthearttoday]

Loved this video! I found your channel through Blair ❤ I have just ordered the Lancôme bronzer on both your recommendation! Xx

[@serena-9482]

Love the luxury products. Keep up with your content 💯

[@mariasurikova702]

Oh I love the Natasha Denona powder foundation! I have oily skin and this is perfect option for hot summer weather. The shade adjusts to the skinshade and the skin oils connect with it nicely. But in colder weather and on drier skin patches it isn' t the best one.

[@elizabethsmith583]

I wasn’t using lip liners until I tried the Glaminatrix ones. Now I’m hooked! ❤

[@MartinaLily]

I'm so glad you like them! They are amazing xx

[@DolceSuono9]

I have the Lancôme highlight in the Louvre palette… It’s the most beautiful highlight in my collection.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

You are so kind, even to the products you regret. Great video.

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so much! xx

[@samjoe4436]

You are officially my most favorite to watch. Your reviews are SO THOROUGH..the way u swatch every single product and provide shade names ( I wish I was the same skin tone cause it would be a one stop shop for all my shades!) You are so thoughtful when it comes to your viewers. Not to mention every product I buy that u recommend I end up LOVING! I'm screwed...have a very expensive cart after this video! 😂 I wish u all the success...if any one deserves it on this platform it you!

[@MartinaLily]

Aww wow! I am honored, thank you so so much xxx

[@marionallen2222]

I love the KOSAS Lip liners I have Mega it’s the perfect bubble gum pink matches so well with my blushes lol and Beyond It’s the most perfect mauve I’ve ever had 🤍🤍🤍 Lancome balm in roast is soooo pretty

[@ginag2176]

I tried the refy mascara and I am loving it, fits my eye also long and fluttery and no smudge or flaking. All the products I've had from refy I've loved! X

[@MartinaLily]

I am so happy to hear this cos I feel the same and I feel like no one talks about them! xx

[@WineandFrom]

New sub here, it's so nice to have a nice person like you represent us Aussie beauty lovers 🩷 your makeup looks beautiful in this video.

[@gaudiormeno8399]

I love all your videos 😊❤

[@kadiaguarisco8511]

WOW such a good video and so much work to do it Thank you

[@MartinaLily]

Thank you so much! xx

[@africke744]

Thank you, this must have been a lot of work!

[@cathi6520]

Hey some great recommendations. I picked up the Dior contour stick today on your recommendation

[@MartinaLily]

Ohh I hope you love it! xx

[@RebeccaJackson-u1e]

I utterly love products, I tend to use every thing I buy. Maybe I had to re think a few lippies but usually I can give things to my mum and she will completely use it up. But I love your selection of products that u love ❤❤❤❤

[@MartinaLily]

Aw thank you so much! xx

[@MrDidi847]

[@icj5568]

Candle recommendations!!! Hehe

[@jenniferd5477]

Yoooo 2 minutes in the only thing on my mind YOUR CANDLE !!!!!! Details plz ❤❤❤ OBSSESED

[@MartinaLily]

Ohh yes its amazing! Its this one - go.shopmy.us/p-6407068 It smells amazing!! xx

[@CarmenZynger]

Hi Marina, you sold me on the Lancôme bronzer, and the Westman lipstick in. Pique! Just what I’ve been on the hunt for.

[@MartinaLily]

Ohh yay! I really hope you love em as much as me xxx

[@melissapuppe4104]

The dior stick foundation finally launched in the us and I purchased that and the contour stick immediately. I actually bought one of the foundation sticks from a diff website and then it launched on the dior site the next day. I still bought another from the site lol

[@greenbeauties]

We don’t have the Dior foundation stick in the UK yet i ordered it from Fude Japan and I got it in a week so very fast considering is coming all the way from Japan and I agree I love it 😍

[@MartinaLily]

Oh I've ordered from them before too, they are brilliant! xx

[@Sarahf-97]

How would you say the lancome highlighter compares to the one in the chanel face palette? I'm looking for something super subtle for work, with absolutely no traces of sparkle/glitter. Wondering if any of these two would be a good option, or something more subtle? x Love your reviews :)

[@MartinaLily]

Oh yes very similar but I think even more natural on the skin. Both have no glitter or sparkle and are super subtle so you can't go wrong with either xx

[@StevenForditude]

1:03:57 So so thrilled that you don’t like this duo because I’ve been listing after them 😂 I will happily wipe this from my memory box 😅

[@MartinaLily]

Haha happy to save you some money! xx

[@hayc3341]

I love the kitten lash, but the sweed one smudges on me. Is the Refy more like the sweed or kitten lash? X

[@MartinaLily]

Hmmm honestly its like neither. Maybe a more intense Rare beauty? I guess if I had to compare to eithr of those it would be a less intense Kitten for sure. The Sweed is a thicker formula xx

[@jessicasolis2001]

[@juliewells4282]

Hi Martina! ❤

[@SamanthaGraham-p1o]

Neroli is the fragrance in the VIEVE setting spray.

[@MartinaLily]

Oh you are amazing thank you! xx

[@Sarahf-97]

How does the dior contour stick shade compare to the westman atelier contour stick in biscuit, if you've tried that? x

[@MartinaLily]

I have. Hmm very similar honestly. Biscuit from WA might be ever so slightly cooler but it is very slight xx

[@a.chieri]

Agree on the westman mascara. Doesn’t work, brush is also too big for me.. just the packaging is nice

[@ZiggyKitty]

I’m so devastated by Lisa Eldridge discontinuing Velvet Decade and I don’t know where else to go to talk about it 😩

[@MartinaLily]

I know! I was sad about it too! Its such a beautiful shade xx

[@annysa3662]

You never tried an Hourglass blush!!!😮 that means you never got on the Hourglass palettes train !!! 😱😱😱 I recommend you try this year. They are a fantastic treat (and I use one almost every day).

[@MartinaLily]

Ohh actually I'm lying then cos I had the elephant palette before haha whoops! It wasn't as nice as this blush though.. maybe its the marbling I like more xx

[@annysa3662]

I didn’t mean to call you out 😅🤭

[@MartinaLily]

@@annysa3662 Haha you didn't call me out at all. I actually forgot about those haha I didnt like the face palettes cos their pans are so small it annoys me haha so ive probs discarded it from the memory hahah xx

[@ShayMcArdle-101]

Love watching your reviews/videos and roundups I can’t wait for the Dior sticks to hit the US!! I had a hard time with the It cosmetics byebye undereye concealer too…. But liked the foundation equivalent they had put out a few years ago the your skin but better line- it was a skin tint like foundation with light reflective properties and obviously 🙄 skincare infused. Now we can get a formula like that at the drugstore it’s wild. I used to love the Chanel powder but then I heard that the formula had been changed so I was too nervous to try it again. Now you’re tempting me

Rare beauty powder blush is not for me . Looks bad . I gave them away . Dior is often disappointing to me . I buy it anyway . I’m stopping 😂. I do like Dior foundation.

[@thereturnofveronicasawyer9998]

People are probably not raving about Chanel powder as there is a massive recession happening throughout the world. I have a lot of Chanel products but not many people can afford them ATM.

[@violetviolet888]

54:10 Why not ask for a refund? Most cosmetic companies will honor it.

[@MartinaLily]

In AU they don't and if I got it from overseas usually its not free shipping to send it back and it's not worth it financially xx

[@violetviolet888]

@@MartinaLily I see.

[@marionallen2222]

the Dior stick looks buttery soft I’ve been loving my Yummy Skin Tint for Summer just got the HOURGLASS to try the new BLUSH in SCENE is the best ever I wore it yesterday in 100 degrees 99% humidity lol lasted 12+ hours … it’s soooooo hydrating and plumping smoothing so natural … with the new ILIA Face Base (my newest obsession) I cannot live without it made the biggest difference in my skin looks like 10 years ago 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 juicy plumpness no wrinkles when I smile!!!

[@MartinaLily]

Oh i love this!! I think the new Hourglass blushes are coming out next week for us in AU and I am so excited to try them! xxx
