R.E.M. Beauty: Chapter 3... 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@JB-ui6tm]

That's why I love you, Johnny! You always keep it real. You don't pretend to like a product or a brand because a celebrity name is attached to it. Your audience appreciates how you discuss affordability and workability. Cuz being in this panini has wallets hurting. Nobody has money to waste on disappointing products. As a Black woman who wears vibrant lipsticks, it's separately hard to know which brand even suits darker skin colors. If it don't work on you, it sure as hell ain't gonna work on me! Thank you so much for all your dedication and hard work!

[@asjasj7168]

Facts I splurged and spent 20$ on a Huda lip liner and it was worse than the drug store lip liner I already had! wipes away at the slightest touch. 😤 I’m still heated over that 20$ bc wtf that’s 20$!

[@Drawing_ghosts]

I couldn't agree more

[@kaylasantos55]

Yeah but I am pretty sure that ari puts a lot of effort in rem beauty. He doesn’t need to des respect Ariana grande and her co worker. All the other makeup artists they love rem beauty especially chapter 3

[@Drawing_ghosts]

@@kaylasantos55 Not everyone has to like rem beauty, especially if the product is not a good quality, and chapter 3 is not the best of quality. And there's also a thing called PERSONAL PREFERENCE. If Johnny doesn't like it that's just his PERSONAL PREFERENCE. So don't go hating on people for not liking a product, because everyone has their own PERSONAL PREFERENCE. And it's not disrespect he has nothing against Ari

[@sabshoneybee]

@@kaylasantos55 Not everyone loved R.E.M. beauty, that too, chapter 3. Everyone has their own preference, it's not just Johnny. Also, when did he ever disrespect her?? He seemed respectful throughout the video. He can go against something while being respectful. Just because he didn't like some products doesn't mean he was disrespectful. There's a difference.

[@MonkeyBrainMcGee]

I appreciate the fact that you don't sugarcoat things while simultaneously being very respectful. Love your content!

[@NyaDotWav]

As a young Ariana fan, I am so thankful for this video. It is so helpful for me to consider buying her products. The true user experience is so important. Even though I love her but I don't want to spend money on some product I would only use once or deceive by the package. I would rather use the money to buy her albums or vinyl.

As someone who never learned much about makeup, this is exactly the kind of video that helps walk me into the world in a more accessible way. Starting at level ZERO means that the whole beauty industry can be really daunting and intimidating, but having you walk through each product clearly, using lots of descriptive words and showing what you mean at the same time--just *chef's kiss*!

Enjoyed this honest but still professional review. Celebrity brands keep popping up left and right and while I never want anyone to fail and don't take pleasure in seeing that failure, I do agree that sometimes it doesn't make obvious sense for people to have a brand just because they can. Those lipsticks looked amazing on you. All them were great but I especially loved Cuddly on you. I'm also probably in the minority, but I love when people try lipstick on (myself included) without other makeup on. If it looks great on you with absolutely nothing else on, you know it's going to be a go-to color. :)

The blush/lip bullet was the only thing I bought. It's as though she didn't even take the time to play with the products for which she signed some ridiculous licensing agreement. I have heard a lot of people like her fragrances, so she should have been satisfied with those. The cosmetics are going to end up in those liquidation stores at a big discount.

[@arandootsarandano]

How do you know she didn’t take the time to play with her products? Some people actually liked them is just about preferences not about Ariana or her co workers not putting effort

[@trialgoddess]

@@arandootsarandano LOL! Because many of the products are underwhelming and disappointing by anyone's standards...unless it's the first cosmetic they've purchased and they don't know any better.

[@arandootsarandano]

@@trialgoddess again other people made reviews and they worked great for them is about your skin and your preferences, I’m sure that someone doesn’t like a product that you love and that doesn’t mean the company didn’t tested it or put effort

[@trialgoddess]

@@arandootsarandano And some people are willing to accept inferior products just because they are associated with their favorite pop star, Ariana Grande. I have used innumerable cosmetic products from Maybelline, e.l.f., Wet'n'Wild to Pat McGrath, Chantecaille, Chanel, Tom Ford, Sisley, Charlotte Tilbury, By Terry, Guerlain, Givenchy, YSL, Clé de Peau Beauté, Le Metier de Beauté, et al., so I have some appreciation of quality across the spectrum of price points of products. Many of R.E.M.'s products are not even of high drug store quality and are ridiculously overpriced for what they offer. Skin texture and "preferences" are irrelevant unless your preference is to pay for a celebrity-promoted product only because of the celebrity despite its lack of quality.

[@Sophia-wm2iw]

@@trialgoddess idk, I honestly care nothing about Ariana and I love some of these products. I have used products from fenty, rare, Chanel, Dior, nars, charlotte tilbury, tom ford, etc. I still really love the plumping glosses and concealer by r.e.m. the liquid lipstick isn’t the absolute best (about face is my favorite matte) but it’s nothing that bad

R.E.M Beauty never really got my attention. I’m not a fan of Ariana (as in I don’t listen to her music) so idk the whole brand was just something random to me.

I love Ariana Grande, but im also 32 and have been disabled/on disability almost my entire adult life, so ya girl *does not* have money to throw away. I can count on one hand how many makeup products I've bought in the last year(other than mascara& lip gloss) because at this point, my collection is so large, I can dupe the majority of products that come out. Also, I don't use foundation anymore, just the tiniest bit(one, two dots max) of concealer, the Rare Beauty bronzing stick, an LYS cream blush, the Dior Powder no powder, then I put a little of the bronzer and blush in my crease, and put a duochrome from Adept Cosmetics on my lid and/or in the inner corner. So I just don't need the full coverage, crazy lewk items anymore

I can’t do my own makeup because I have dysphoria and can’t see my own face (can see others fine) but watching your stuff has been an absolute treat. I have binged a lot.

[@ANamaky-o6s]

Try doing others makeup ! Ask them to do yours too, or go to Sephora and have them glam you up for a few dollars. Even if you don’t want to look, you may be looked at differently for the day or spoken to differently than you are used to. Now, this is not a good thing. That is society being messed up. I’m just saying to try it because it may make you have a good feeling about yourself. Even if it’s short-lived, even if your anxiety makes you question their intentions (I feel you sis), someone’s smile at you could help what you are feeling. I am no doctor I have just experienced something similar, and just thought a recommendation like this wouldn’t hurt. Take care :)

I truly appreciate the honest opinions from knowledgeable artists such as yourself. So often we do buy makeup or any type of merch in order to support the artists we love. Like u said if ur not in the business of the merch ur selling that's tied to ur likeness i really feel like u need to be on ur game when it comes to quality of the product. In the end we buy from them clearly to support the artist. So if ur selling dollar store makeup candles hair care, or any product and ur not apart of it as a career ur obviously selling YOU. YOUR BRAND. YOUR LIKENESS. In my mind to better come to the table with product that's high end top of the line and able to hold its own in the same category. If it's not good quality ur buying simply based on who is selling it. As always people. Buyer Beware. Don't be fooled🤯🤔💋💔
