I just want to say, thank you sooo much for putting in so much work every time to list and link all the products you're wearing. I rarely comment but I ALWAYS look and I've gotten some amazing products because of how good they look on you! Your effort is extremely appreciated 💕

[@shmachable]

Btw, the blue eyeliner in your water line is a total slay. So good.

[@ViaTheBookFaerie]

Love your earrings! 💜

[@theloneaccenter]

Thank you for talking about the ER situation. I’m not gonna lie, when I posted everything I found, I wasn’t sure about the community response. But I greatly appreciate your voice on this and especially the bits about grace. I have highly encouraged from the beginning that people give creators time to find this info. Not only that, it can be triggering for content creators and it may take them some time to form thoughts. Again. Thank you.

[@jenniferw392]

Thank you for articulating your thoughts on ER in such a thoughtful, mature manner. What a terrible breach of trust… Sending you all the love and support! ❤

[@Emma-ws5wq]

Thank you for talking about ensley reign, most people are keeping it in stories or comments. Videos are important! It was a pattern of following extremist pages and liking their content against trans people. It was not a tomboy thing, thats what they tried to reduce it to for the people who wouldnt look further. That was a deflection. Their issue is still giving extended approval to anti trans rhetoric while profiting off LGBT creators who have created their revenue. Its a crazy position to put yourself in as a brand, and until they apologize for that specifically, i think its a deflection. I appreciate your perspective angie! Very constructive

[@mus1quenonst0p]

whoa what did i miss. almost there in the video!

[@julsz528]

Thanks didn’t know what happened ..

[@Emma-ws5wq]

Yo.... Their response post today got 300 comments, most of which were critical and demanding a real apology. So they just turned off comments 😂. What happened to the claim in that very post that they are "open to suggestions" to do better???

[@mus1quenonst0p]

@ they wanted you to DM them so it stayed off the TL

[@Emma-ws5wq]

As a long time follower and gay person, thank you for using your platform to speak on this

I would rather "wait" on a review of a new product and have you test/use it, vs right out of the box. Love this approach!

[@missmrocks]

I agree with you that I do not want to live a life where everything is canceled forever. In a nation (world even) that is already so incredibly divided, we need that hope that you talked about. Mahalo Angie for being such a light ❤

[@elizabethnachman2557]

What a breath of fresh, kind and respectful air you are, Angie! Thank you for everything you do including your insights into the whole Ensley Reign debacle. (I bought my first palette from them right before this dust up. Ugh.) But like you, I will give them a chance to do better!

[@KarenMcClure77]

👌🏻absolutely perfect response to the ER situation. Being in the uk ER isnt the cheapest brand to get our hands on, but i have been tempted to buy because the stuff looks anazing but…. Hearing this today has shocked me tbh, i am straight but for me i dont see labels i see the person x if i like you its because of who you are not what you are, if that makes sense. I think it is massively important for any public figure, celebrity, world leaders/politicians and brand owners to keep a very non offensive front. I appreciate your very mature and thoughtful opinion on the topic. Much love from Bonnie Scotland x and i ordered your palette and brushes and paid the crazy shipping cause i wanted it now lol xx

[@sheilamoriarty3169]

Angie, you made a principled decision. I applaud you for that. I got some Ensley Reign for Christmas. I will still wear because it is good quality and because once it is out of the company's hands, whatever I do no longer impacts them. Will I buy from the brand now, no. I will wait for changes to be made. If anyone leaves your channel because you made a principled decision, they are doing so under their own biases about transphobia. I truly believe that. Take care.

[@alexlyubenov5690]

I was sure many people would be confused by the DM vault, and to answer the question "who's this for?" - ME (and not only haha)! I adore the concept and I quite honestly find it an extremely useful purchase. As someone who works with cosplay, larp and overall extravagant looks that portray more fantasy-based characters, this is perfect. DM's paints are very long lasting, do not crease and work incredibly for such stuff. And while I know that the majority of the consumers wouldn't be interested in it, welp... that's the point. 😅 It's a limited edition, limited stock, extremely expensive (while worth it) thing that is meant exactly for the people that have waited for it, not for everyone. Some things are just designed for a more of a niche audience, rather than a mass purchase. ❤️

[@themirrorbeauty]

I can relate! I am not buying this particular vault myself, but as a lip artist who paints almost all the designs with liquid lipsticks, I am always the first in line for all the "who is this for" 20+ colour liquid lipsticks vaults. 😄

[@colleenheart]

I appreciate how you are always so level headed and inclusive and allow others to change. Thank you for such a thoughtful commentary on Ensley Reign. ❤

Yes, same here! "First work then fun" but in Angies situation "first work then work" ❤

[@tracy776]

I looked at the tomboy post and I felt that there was no way that could be interpreted as anything other than anti-trans so I felt the apology just fell super flat and BS-y. I was so sad cuz that all went down the day after I got my first ever ER palettes in the mail so it really took the joy out of them for me. I do like that you are giving them grace to improve in the future, it's part of what makes me follow your channel...the kindness

[@taranullius9221]

Not seen that one. I've only seen the apology that wasn't even an apology. At all. "No really we like you bleeps, honest".

[@taranullius9221]

Sorry to do this to you but you might want to just get rid of the palette altogether. They're also ableist, anti-vx, used a slur against Romani as their previous brand name (and still maintain that domain name) and sold palettes for $88.88. (8th letter = H. Think about a guy with a name starting with H who bad people say "Heil" to).

[@yesterdaybaby]

Angie, I am SO glad you speak so openly and with such passion about the things you care about. The fact that you openly champion LGBTQ+ rights, and openly challenge anti-trans sentiment is so important. Not only that, but you do so with such class and grace and allowing people space to grow. I'm glad you also spoke to the owner directly, too - if you know people in real life it's vital to challenge bigotry and hatred and express your disappointment. Thank you for being an awesome, sparkly, colourful, intelligent woman. Proud to be part of the community with you.

[@queensdavis9378]

Kelly Gooch's predictions mentioned going back to the very bronzey look of the early 00s and i think the "return of highlighter" will mix "2016 makeup" with that. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SPORADIC PSA ABOUT VAULT/BULK COLLECTIONS/PR COLLECTIONS/BACKUPS, etc etc YESSSS you have stopped me soooo manyyy timessss. ps: i'd love to watch a video SOON about finances. you have a great perspective on this- moved from Sweden to US (WHEW!), quit a "normal job" to do an "unconventional" job, breadwinner of the home, bought a house...all that with you doing a low-buy before, then vocalizing being okay with making less money, and now you mentioned being okay with less views for peace of mind. i love you so much and am so excited about everything you create.💖

[@AndreeaC.]

Sometimes things take another direction than we have imagined, but it turns out to be the best direction for us. Sometimes we have to prioritise mental health over evey life pleasures and probably is "less" but is actually enough for us to be happy! Happy Holidays ❤

I think you handled the ER issue wonderfully.

[@luluscnadel8078]

Agreed

[@bardlover6]

I knew you’d address Ensley Reign-and I appreciate you taking time to not act in an emotional state but to also be rational. Bad timing for the brand-I had just received my first palette from them. I’ve decided to enjoy it but not support the brand for at least the time being

[@coffeeandtrex3344]

Same here - got my first palette from them and I love it. I'll continue to use it but definitely won't be buying from them again. 😢

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

If Tarte had released that ND palette they would've been roasted. However being ND everyone is drooling over it.

[@voice_of_a_little_lady]

Hot take, ND is overrated 🫢

well if I could trust the Tarte formula like I trust the ND formula I would have been equally excited, with Tarte you just don't know if you are getting good eyeshadow or awful eyeshadow.

[@coffeeandtrex3344]

Thanks for speaking about the Ensley Reign situation. It's super disappointing. I had just started buying from the brand. Smh.

[@rpwp-joonie]

hmmm, I don't like how some of the people in the comments are speaking to you regarding the ER situation. You approached the situation logically, looked up what you could, even spoke with the creator and you are allowed to make decisions based on your own discernment for your own channel. It's a bit hypocritical to criticize you for your opinion, only for them to impose their own unsolicited opinion as well. Anyway, I hope you are having a wonderful and unbothered day nonetheless Angie 💜

As soon as I saw the new mini palette from ND, I thought "this is gonna replace the mini Xenon for Angelica" cuz you're more likely to wear neutrals than you are to wear grey and it had the light and dark shades that you like in a travel palette

@PolaBeaver okay? Idk who that is. What does that have to do with them blocking me? Lol

[@MeganTburg]

I am disappointed with ER. They misstepped with the content they were liking, and didn’t seem to really apologize very sincerely. This is also after they are continuing to release very AI heavy art even though they said it would be phased out. The very light handed acknowledgment of these issues makes me sad. I am so sorry that people were less than kind waiting for your thoughts, I appreciate you taking the time to no make off the cuff comments! Keep doing you 💖

[@mistichristensen7088]

Thanks for addressing the ER issue and for putting the brakes on reviewing the brand. Fingers crossed they learn and grow from this. 💛🌻

[@AthiVeryvaki]

Smashbox powders were truly amazing. Actually Smashbox was the first pro makeup brand I tried so bc of that opened me to the makeup world. Their old hydrating primer was my favorite makeup product ever and the way to understand that my skin wasn't oily but combined! I would love to see them innovating again and marking trends.

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

oh that sounds promising!

@AngelicaNyqvist the Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder was soooo good, it was years ahead all the hydrating powders without talc that nowadays many brands are trying to achieve

[@ItsDianaSkye]

I appreciate your take on Ensley Reign. I was extremely disappointed by what transpired and regretted purchasing from them.

[@wool_mage]

On the topic of Ensley Reign... Unfortunately, this isn't the 1st or 2nd time they've had this same kind of controversy. The brand (owner) has a long history of bigotry, association with misinformation, and old rhetoric. They keep using the business to associate with bigotry and problematic opinions. This isn't new information, they've been like this for years, and they don't seem to actually grow as a person. It's very disappointing. (Edited for spelling/Grammer)

I also appreciate that you give people time to change. I think that is really important especially now and not just in the makeup community. Thank you!

[@kimberlywelch4198]

Whatever take on ER anyone has, to expect anyone other than yourself to stop what they are doing, halt family celebrations, remove themselves to go film reactions to something they didn't even play a part in is beyond rude. I guess this situation is going to trickle into who still follows ER and who doesn't?? If your favorite creator didn't post fast enough??

[@yuks705]

39:00 i really like you, as a person, i dont do parasocial relationships, but i think you angie are really really awesome. Thank you for holding a space on YT that really makes me personally feel very good. You are great.

[@lynndp]

Thank you for speaking on ER. I saw their post with an ‘apology’ that was partly copied from the statement from Titanium foxes. They asked input from the community in that post because they claim to wanna learn. It hasn’t been a day and they closed the comments. What they do, is now more important than what they say. It isn’t the job of the community to teach them inclusivity. They have to do that work themselves and show us what they learned on that journey. If their brand is inclusive like they claim, they could unblock the people who criticized them and listen to it, show looks from minorities, collab with them, donate to a charity that supports that community, keep their comment section safe… What I see them doing at the moment is making an insincere apology without quoting the inspiration for it and asking for input so they can learn while closing the comments… That’s not a good start.

[@arwenives]

How disappointing about ER! They were a brand I most wanted to try but I looked up the posts they liked and yeah... it's not good. I agree with Angie that it's good to take a step back and see if there's growth. I also believe that people are capable of growth bc lord knows I have had to grow many times in my 39 years of life.

[@paiges1262]

I have been asking for a long time if Ensley Reign is a brand that supports the same kind of people who are very attached to the number represented by 2 eights, because she has priced a number of palettes with four eights. It could just be that she likes the symmetry. But with addition of the transphobic statements, the two things could (not necessarily, but could) be related.

[@1015SaturdayNight]

Oh interesting.

[@AngelicaNyqvist]

this could very easily turn into extrapolating stuff which I try to stay away from.

[@defectiveshark7602]

Oh wow, as a trans person, thank you for talking about the ER thing, I had no idea. Thank you even more for actually talking to the owner about it, you honestly weren't obligated to, but it means a lot. I had already decided not to support the brand because of her use of AI packaging art that is clearly stolen from artist account scraping. She hosted a discussion about it months ago on her IG and seemed disturbingly unwilling or unable to understand how using AI programs didn't make her an "artist". There were also a lot of VERY hostile and insulting people commenting that were blatantly attacking anyone who questioned her, whose posts she liked throughout the discussion. I got personally cussed out by a few of them for politely trying to explain how what the owner was doing was deeply unethical, only to then watch those posts get liked by the owner. She eventually released a statement saying she would commission actual artists for packaging in the future, did one palette in this style, and then proceeded to go right back to using stolen AI art. Being transphobic on top of all that is really just the shitty cherry on top of the garbage cake.

[@liamaaren]

Thank you for speaking on the ER situation, Angie. As a trans masc, I'm very disappointed in the brand. I'll continue to use the palettes I already bought as to not be wasteful but I no longer support them. I didn't know you were bisexual! Always nice to discover my favourite creators are part of the community 😊 To those of you who think its nbd because the posts she was liking were from a woman talking about her experiences as a tomboy: she was talking about how hormones are harmful and to stop "transing" tomboys. No one is "transing" tomboys. There is a difference between a tomboy and a trans boy. That woman is transphobic and has extremeist views. It's unacceptable. Hormones are life saving and as a trans person, I'm not out here trying to "trans" feminine men or masculine women. That's just not happening. Stop fearmongering and using that as an excuse to hate us. Support who you want, but I'll remember the people that chose some pretty eyeshadow over the acceptance of others.

They are deleting negative comments and liking comments that are saying horrible things about the people criticizing them. A brand doesn't block people if they are open to listening and learning. The owner has shown who they are multiple times and I hope this time people listen!

[@delza27]

The ensley reign controversy sounds a lot like the bud light beer 🍺 controversy. I just wish this brands just sell is there products and nothing more. In situations like this everyone loses. It’s really short sided for any brand to link their account to something negative or even controversial. I think there’s a place and time for expressing your opinions, since this a free country but it is sad when those opinions are not constructive or helpful and just are a divisive. I did not see what they liked their corporate account to but I hope they learn from this and detach themselves from hate accounts and apologize. Makeup 💄 should be a safe space for everyone.

[@AmandaMcCarterWrites]

Jo Malone sold her brand, so that's probably why the fragrances have taken a turn. Check out Jo Loves and see if she's still doing the scents you prefer.

In 2016 I was working as a Personal Consultant (events and different malls and Department Stores) for Clinique and they didn’t come out with a highlighter until they did ‘they year of’ Chinese symbols. That was years after I left. I wonder if they are still doing those year of highlighters. Angie - I saw actual videos of what somebody on the Ensley Reign page said, (several rants) about anti-trans, I was so disappointed. I’m not sure if that is the owner though. That may have been somebody that had the ability to use the account. After the words they said, if that person is no longer on the team and they do change, I will give them a chance. I just want everybody to be their best life and I believe in choices. I can’t say I am an ally if I support them right now. Thank you for showing grace though. You shouldn’t ever feel compelled to address anything before you are ready.

[@themirrorbeauty]

The Danessa Myricks vault could be a useful thing for eye artists or lip artists or face artists, if they prefer working with paints like these. I personally prefer liquid lipsticks, and I remember buying the Nyx liquid suede minis vault of 30 colours (they were only missing greens and yellows, but had all the other tones), and it was one of the best investments at the time - I was using each and every colour depending on the lip painting I was doing.

Hi, Angie! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Here in Brazil we celebrate at the night of 24 às well. Some coments… I still have my very old urban decay blushes. They are amazing. Clinique’s makeup is very underated I think. Just like laura Mercier, laura Geller And bobbi brown. They have solid very reliable formulas.

Let's recap what I've learned about Ensley Reign: they had a brand name using the G-word for Romani, while not being Romani and still keep that domain name reserved, despite this being called out a year ago, Phyrra Nyx has pointed out they had palettes sell for 88.88. If you don't know what that means, look it up. Um and they're ableist and anti-vx, not just TEs.

I’m year of the snake and I was so excited for the year of the snake makeup to release but I’m not wanting any of it so far! 🙃

I agree with what you're saying to an extent because at the same time you can't expect people to behave as we would you know and if they like a post or something who are we to say anything on how they feel about something only thing we can do is stay in control of our actions and try to educate and move on all of us are human and have the right to feel however we feel

Angie, I really appreciate your level headed thoughts, your words and what you feel regarding the situation with Ensley Reign. I agree with everything you said, I truly do. I have always believed in the best in people and I know that people make mistakes. Some mistakes can and are horrible, they can affect so many people and communities and how they feel. I was truly shocked by the news. I never got that vibe or feeling from the brand. Did I want to cuss and yell in the comment sections, of course. I’m a part of all communities! I just knew it wouldn’t be good for my mental health or anyone else’s. Everyone that knows me knows I don’t agree with Ensley Reign and the owner at all! I really wanted a perspective from someone who knows the brand and the owner. You are able to give us that! I sincerely appreciate everything that you talked about. I also agree with what you are doing right now with the brand and the owner! Everyone has the right to their opinions and thoughts if they decide to let Ensley Reign grow and change from this terrible situation and see what they do I’m good with that. I also understand if people don’t ever support or purchase from them again. I can see all sides of this situation. Im not going to argue with anyone or cuss because that only causes more pain. I also don’t have the same relationship with Ensley Reign that you do. I’m so sorry you received hate Angie. We all need to give more people grace! We need to treat others how we want to be treated. I do agree that we are all capable of growth and change! I will see what Ensley Reign does but they have a very long road ahead of them. I believe true change doesn’t happen overnight, in a week, a month and so on. Thank you again for your in depth conversation and where you stand. I am going to take the approach that you are! I hope everyone is having a good day even with the heaviness that a lot of us are feeling right now not just with the Ensley Reign situation. Sending out positive energy, love and light to everyone ❤

Hi - I am looking at a few brands for their next releases. I am not sure if anything you discussed will be for me. I am excited for Glaminatrix releases, as I would like to try the brand sometime in the future. In January, I'm doing a no buy 3 month period - I need time to see what is released for my own sanity. As for ER, they also liked posts that disputed the validity of mental illness/healthcare, etc. It was very sad, I was very upset. I understand the hope they will do better, and I want that too. At this time, I am also stepping back and unfollowing them, etc.

I feel like studs never left. I got the gold case of Valentino lipstick in red, and love it. Especially since it’s magnetic which seems to be normal these days for higher end brands. Or maybe because I was born in 82, I just seek out studded things. Lots of jackets w studs on them that I’ve had for a handful of years that were trendy.
