Obsession vs. Abstinence: A Haul | ADAGIO BEAUTY UPDATE

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Editing Stephanie was amazed at how color-coordinated my t-shirt was with the makeup packaging! I couldn't have planned it better if I tried.😂

[@allisonbb716]

Congratulations on the PR!! I can understand how getting stuff for free would be a gateway to collecting more ‘stuff’….but that marshmallow mountain is very pretty! Thanks for another great and inspiring video.

[@Betterthanbasicivy]

I ADORE the small haul concept and I desperately want to see and make this more of a thing!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Maybe we CAN make it a thing. 🙌

[@BineFold]

Thanks! I actually really needed that glass of water!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Haha! Glad I could help! 😂

[@majesticbeast4830]

Influencer Powers!!! What a good graphic novel concept 🖤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Haha! I'd read that! 😂

[@blathering.]

I personally love small hauls 💕 Large hauls can be overwhelming for me.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one. As much as I appreciate makeup maximalism, small hauls are currently my hauls of choice, too. ♡

[@sassytickledpickle]

I did take a sip of my lime-infused water! I'm also having tea as I enjoy another video from you! Love that the PR lipstick and mascara tubes match your top!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

That lime-infused water sounds tasty. I think you've influenced me to make some now. ;-) I hope you enjoyed your tea!

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

I love that you hauled a lippie that you already had!❤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Sometimes you just can’t beat an old favorite. 😂

[@TooMuchTash]

Love a small haul, and the drink reminder! ♥♥

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Haha! I'm so glad! Thanks for being such an inspiration! ♥

[@femmefairandfatigued]

1. thank you for the hydration reminder!! 2. I love the small haul too -- it makes the items you do feature seem much more special, hard to appreciate a piece of makeup as a little gem of beauty when you get used to seeing creators going through oodles of product

[@TheStyleStumbler]

You’re welcome - hopefully we can stay hydrated together. 😊 And yes - even the experience of seeing that fresh, crisp embossing seemed special. I think I used to take that for granted.

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

And, thanks for the shout out!❤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

But of course! ❤️

[@bornblushing]

Congratulations on receiving your first PR package! You certainly are a top-tier influencer as I did grab the glass of water beside me when prompted. ;) When I first watched this, I was amazed by how well your top matches the makeup's packaging, and then I saw your comment and was even more amazed that it was an accident! The packaging looks fun but also luxurious given how weighted it is. Your one-hand haul concept is wonderful. I do agree that smaller hauls do feel more luxurious. Their deliberate nature really makes them more compelling and special. Here's to joyful moderation!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Haha! I'm glad to hear my newfound powers are effective! ;-) Yeah... I was as amazed as you are when I watched the footage back. 😂 That mascara packaging feels ridiculously lux. I really enjoy it every time I use it. Yay for joyful moderation! I can't wait to see how your collection develops over time - you've refined it so much that every piece feels beautifully significant.

[@imaginarycosmetics]

I love seeing small realistic hauls! I typically only buy a handful of products per year, because I pretty much have everything I need. Sometimes (especially now with all the Sephora sale content) I feel like the odd one out because I don't have a full face of new products to try out😂

[@TheStyleStumbler]

You're right! With all the Sephora hauls it does kind of feel like we're the oddballs! Which is funny, because I think the majority of humanity probably doesn't even own one lipstick. 😂

[@teacherlovesbeauty]

Congratulations on your first PR! And, I think you chose wonderfully! Perfect for you!❤

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you, Kim! ❤️

[@LisaF_]

Oh! It’s so good to know there is a lip product with spf that doesn’t taste disgusting. I’ve not found one yet! I’m keeping this in mind for this summer! I love a small haul. Make the small haul the norm!!! I loved what you said about relaxing in to what you have. It’s really nice to be able to use and cherish the wonderful things we already have!!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I was so glad to finally find a lip spf that didn't taste like chemicals. Some of the ones out there on the market are truly barfworthy. And I'm happy to hear that I'm not the only one who appreciates a small haul! There's something particularly luxurious about hand-picking very few items.

[@Betterthanbasicivy]

Hydrated!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

That makes two of us! 😂

[@nancyforryan2152]

On your recommendation I decided to get the Perricone MD lipstick. Now is the time of year to use sunscreen on my lips. Got it at a sale price, too! Thanks for all your helpful reviews!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

I’m so glad you managed to find it on sale, too! 😊

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I am fascinated by the Queen Musia brand. I do like lip swatches if you are going to review lipstick.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks for the feedback - if I receive a similar opportunity again in the future, I’ll keep that in mind.

[@cloveroom]

i started the video after finishing a run so i did indeed need a drink of water, ty almighty influencer!!!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

So happy to help! 😂

[@queenmusia]

Becky Sharp looks incredible on you!💄💖

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try it!

[@chuckychic01]

Yay PR!!!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks for celebrating with me, Heather! ♡

[@nancyforryan2152]

Thanks for the reminder to hydrate!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

We can hydrate together! ❤️

[@mery_vc]

I did get water, thank you! Very much needed reminder😂

[@TheStyleStumbler]

So happy to help! 😂

[@eleniminas7742]

Love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤my beautiful Stephanie ❤🎉

[@TheStyleStumbler]

It’s always so lovely to hear from you, Eleni! ❤️

[@ALM401]

Hi! I just found your channel this week and have been watching many of your videos. Loving the content! I've also slowed down considerably on makeup purchases and am trying to be more mindful. I look forward to watching more videos in the future. Keep it up!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Thanks for taking a moment to say hello, Andrea! It's lovely to have you here.

[@zachbecvar]

I did happen to take a drink just as you did your influencer voodoo😂😂 As a tried and true product and getting a great deal on price, that's a great replacement buy with the lipstick. I'm definitely a creature of habit with certain of health/wellness products and any time I go to rebuy some of them, I get the same apprehension about changes to packaging. Sunscreen. Yeah, that would have been a good thing to have Sunday when I did an Irish goodbye with my friend before coming home from my birthday road trip. About three hours chatting in the parking lot left my neck rather red and irritated. I have to admit to being totally lost when it comes to understanding how being an influencer is a thing. It just doesn't make sense in my brain. So it's interesting to hear that the company offered a selection of products to you and you chose from that. I also think it's cute that not only are you wearing the products in the video, but your shirt matches the color of the Queen Musia packaging. I suppose I do my own version of #onehandhaul when I do my book buying. I go for quality over quantity. And like I've commented before, the way you've talked about changing your thought processes around makeup have led me to change mine when it comes to book buying and clothes shopping. Because of you, I've developed a more discerning eye when I'm out shopping and I no longer really seek the quick hit, new shiny things for a short spike of joy. I'd rather find the things that give me deeper, long lasting satisfaction.

[@TheStyleStumbler]

Haha! Yay! That must mean I’m a natural. 😂 A tried and tested product on sale like that was a lucky find. And the fact that they haven’t changed the practical packaging was an added bonus. Sunscreen is a must for us fair folk. Even in parking lots. I’m so happy to hear that your trip was filled with great moments. Including that standing ovation. 😊 I didn’t realize that my outfit matched the products until I started editing. My uncanny matching sense must be another sign I’m a natural influencer. 😂 I’m so glad that, even though we have different interests, these videos are able to help you in your own purchases. Thanks for always leaving such thoughtful responses, Zach!

[@zachbecvar]

@TheStyleStumbler I would agree, wven with my limited understanding of influencer culture, you're a natural. You always seem so poised and thoughtful in your presentation. 😊😊 I've often found that the food that gets my brain hamster moving comes from unexpected sources. 😂 I guess I'm also just eclectic or eccentric enough that I can find thoughtful points of discussion in just about anything. And as always I hope my commentary is useful in some way. Even if it's just a laugh after what I'm sure can be a stressful period of filming and editing.

[@MsAlyssaJM]

I came here from @faceforeword and had to subscribe to you. So nice to see videos like this!

[@TheStyleStumbler]

It's nice to meet you, Alyssa! Any friend of Ivy is a friend of mine. :-) Thanks so much for taking a moment to say hello!
