SKIP THESE... The Most Disappointing Beauty Products of 2024!

[@vitamin-lee9033]

What's not disappointing is this pink sweater. Obsessed with this colour on you!!

[@SoniaBonia33]

My first thought as well. A perfect color for her complexion!

[@taiyabazaheer9492]

I personally think a lighter shade of pink would suit her better but this colour brings more joy.

[@AlexisBKenn]

Sammmeee Barbie vibes

[@AbbeyYung]

Hahahaha OMG thank you!! 2025 is going to be my year of wearing color I'm ready

[@loridoyle3068]

Agree

[@lucyzhang770]

Love this format!!! Overconsumption is honestly so contagious, but having a trusted KZbinr go through and de-influence in a genuine way is exactly what I’m looking for!!

[@Victoria-_]

Agreed!!

[@emp2291]

I enjoy these fail videos bc there's usually something I'm eyeing up and you help me save money!

[@PYT-s9y]

Exactly, i was eyeing on Fino😂😂

[@AbbeyYung]

yay good!! That's always the goal 😊

[@szarkazm]

That Shiseido Fino worked really well for me. Not because I had extra shine, I loved how it made my hair feel. It was super slippy and dentangled, but my hair felt fatter at the same time. I absolutely loved it! I bought it twice, and I’ve been on to trying other things, but I will definitely buy it again. It’s a shame it didn’t work for your hair. My hair is very different than yours, it has 10+ years of henna and indigo in it to dye black, and naturally air dried it is a 2A.

[@livhuang4496]

It’s made for high porosity and damaged hair. We have the same hair type (dyed and 2a) and it worked for me well too! It’s also made with Asian hair in mind so other hair types maybe aren’t as successful

[@LucianaVIP1]

I'm thinking that perhaps she got a fake one? What do you think?

[@JelenaP991]

same! I emptied so many of these. This is best my for my hair

[@whelkpeopleofdoom]

I have henna dyed 1B hair and I didn't care for it 😕. How much product do you use? Are you conservative, moderate or globbing it on? And how long are you letting it sit? What sort of wash day do you use it in? Unless products are seriously awful (which Fino isn't, as I said in another comment - it's just meh for me), I use them up so I'm hoping to find a way to enjoy this product while I have it (only used twice so far). Sorry for all the questions - hope I'm not being too overbearing!

[@alohaeverafter6886]

I’m on my third tub of it. I have long, wavy, dyed medium density hair. I love how soft my hair feels afterwards. It also holds curl for an extra day, on the days that I use it.

[@top0.01beyoncelistener]

Girl you look SO good in a pony with bangs!!! ilysm thx for the post💙

[@AbbeyYung]

Thank you!!! and thank you for watching 💗

[@MindyMyint]

Yes, please do another failed video on facial skin care and makeup. It really helps sort through all the choices out there! What do you think of INNBeauty products?

[@ClassicDame08]

The Blake Brown Beauty shampoo and conditioner bottles look like a camping drinking flask or some wooden puzzle pieces you put together! 🤣😭

[@AbbeyYung]

LOL literally

[@raeperonneau4941]

I’m afraid that at this point, if a product is being super hyped on social media, I assume it sucks. 😂 If a product is awesome, I’ll hear about it from my friends. 😂

[@monicapatton1405]

Same- The Elf foundation, that wavy thermal brush, the Tirtir foundation all an automatic no for me 😂

[@mariabatista8379]

The FINO mask and the Condicioner is amazyng on my fine hair. Replaced all the expensive brands ❤

[@sarahpieren7403]

I love your ponytail. It fits you so, well.

[@AbbeyYung]

thank you 💗

[@justjjswrld]

ikr!! her ponytail eats so hard

[@Luna11420]

Yes to part 2! 🎉

[@janmcmahon7358]

The ELF soft glam foundation looks beautiful on my skin. I apply it with a BK Beauty foundation brush. I put the soft glam on half my face and the Maybelline 24hour tint on the other half. I can’t tell a difference in the appearance or the longevity. I have dry mature skin that is well cared for. The Redken Acidic Bonding line works so well for my hair but the Amika the Cure line is just okay. Shows you that everyone’s skin and hair react differently to products. Thank you for doing all your research so we can save money and time.

[@AbbeyYung]

Absolutely!! Everything is so individual- I think it makes beauty more fun!

[@meghanrice1832]

The Redken acidic color gloss line is amazing! I use the shampoo, conditioner, and the heat protection leave in. My hair feels so smooth and shiny when I use them and it smells AMAZING

[@vickysmith2781]

Like everything it varies person to person. These products was a fail for my hair . Unfortunately I think we all react differently to products not only for hair but skin too .

[@harrietxo2310]

@@vickysmith2781price point included too! the L’Oréal vers is better atp

[@cspencer1810]

Same for me actually - nearly nothing makes my hair feel soft and I’m still amazed!

[@pannakotta100]

I use the conditioner, I love it!

[@syrelssj]

Fino hair mask repaired my damage hair. They said it’s for high porosity hair but I have low porosity and it works on me.

[@LucianaVIP1]

Perhaps she got a fake one?

[@AbbeyYung]

that's amazing!!

[@luckyahmed200]

That hair mask is really heavy on my low porosity hair but it does give a smooth shine. I likely see the difference bc I don’t use conditioner or any other masks

[@aurabileu7717]

I love that mask!

[@angelafoulks2920]

Im relieved to know that im not the only one that feels the same about the elf satin foundation. I tried 3 different shades and all 3 were different undertones. I mean how weird. Also i do enjoy a light to medium coverage, this however was just patchy. My skin is pretty normal and oh man- it was awful. Thank you for going over this.

[@AbbeyYung]

right?! I wish they'd get better shades

[@solinspires]

Abbey, try using Fino after passing a good deep cleaning shampoo, it’s the tip of one of the biggest Brazilian hair youtubers Carol Kyoko, she explained that this is a very concentrated mask and works best on extremely clean hair and without any residue of other products or it will most likely weigh the hair. If you have the opportunity, try it like this later 😊

[@mediocremapleleaf7797]

Oh I LOVE the fino mask and I’ve been using it for the last 4 years. It makes sense that not everyone could benefit from it but I love using it as both a mask and a conditioner

[@dinkovajessica]

I don't know if people tell you that often while living in America, but as a french girl, I have to tell you that you look SO MUCH like the famous french actress Catherine Deneuve (when she was young). Like, shockingly similar.

[@ibsunshinesu6011]

Thank you Abbey!!!!!! Love how honest and on point you are about EVERYTHING!!! ❤

[@roserivera4109]

By way I’m so glad you put the Dyson product there cause I had ir in the cart but debating wether to get or not. Thank you for saving us money ❤❤❤

[@tiffanypayton7433]

This is a random comment, but I'm a black girl with curly hair, who lives in Australia. A lot of the products you mention, I can't get here. Even if we carry the brand, we still dont get the whole range. My skin tone and hair type are different to yours. I say all this to say, I really love watching your videos despite knowing I may have no use for the products or won't be to get them. I have no idea how I stumbled upon your channel, but I love that KZbin recommended it anyway. I'm shocked that you dont have 1 million + subscribers.

[@sadmermaid]

What state are u in luv?

[@tiffanypayton7433]

@sadmermaid NSW

[@connie6410]

I had the exact same experience with the Elf soft glam foundation! I'd love it if you'd do another video like this, and maybe even make it a regular thing? Thank you for all the time and effort you put into your videos. 🧡 Btw, that color pink is amazing on you! 🤩

[@eme8237]

In defense of the K18 conditioner, alot of curlies, including me,love this conditioner - it defines the curls amazingly and without build-up!

[@ahlana2671]

Yes! It’s been my go to since I’ve tried it

[@L1ttlef0ot]

This is exactly why I’m trying it. I’m sure this product isn’t best for straight dry hair, but we curlies have very specific needs that wouldn’t work for all hair types. So excited to try it! Waiting for it to come in the mail.

[@MelitaBintoro]

you look so gorgeous with your hair up too!! love this look

[@onimendez7735]

Same! 😊

[@melissawilliams3185]

I’ll have to take your word for it on the hair fails. You’re hair always looks amazing ❤

[@johannawulff7746]

The Tsubaki gold hair mask is fantastic!

[@kamm5280]

Oh noooo! The wavytalk is a godsend for fine wavy hair that my sis and I have - our hair length is a bit more than shoulder length. I will say there’s a bit of learning curve to getting those flippy ends - the first few times I used it it kept becoming straight like the clips you shared. Another benefit of this is that it’s dual voltage so great for traveling! Give it another go!

[@onimendez7735]

Love the Elsie pup cameos! 💕 🐾 Sending cuddles

[@Marialeovenus]

I am soooo obsessed with the scent of the redken glossy line! It’s the best scent I’ve ever smelled in any hair product, but same here! I also didn’t get shinier hair from using it. ❤

[@EWinGVL]

Agree about the original Redken Gloss line...love it! I wanted to mention to folks who want an airwrap styling tool, but don't want the hefty price tag or Dyson or Shark 🤑, I got the Bondi Boost system, and I love it! They have sales all the time. You can get it at Sephora, too.

[@AbbeyYung]

wait they have a multi wrap styler?! Why did I not know this omg

[@EWinGVL]

@AbbeyYung yep! I got mine during the Sephora sale. I've never used Dyson or Shark, but I paid $150'ish and it does an amazing job with my hair. The curls last forever! I was using the Lange airflow Straightener and Curler before, and this is so much better.

[@jenniferbloom6701]

I had the same situation with the Fino mask and the Tsubaki mask. Unfortunately both weighed down my hair and it looked greasy the next day. The Tiktok professional in me convinced myself that it's because of protein overload (the porosity water cup test is inconclusive since my hair is only half colour treaded) but I'm happy to know that I'm not the only one. Thanks for sharing and I appreciate your content.

[@Lifewitharielmarie]

Thank you for the wavy talk! I have tried that brush so so so many times in so many ways! And I was convo fed ones saying it wrong and o have tried for months! Seeing it not work for you makes me feel so much better (because I trust you to know how to actually style hair). I thought I was going crazy.

[@PodieM18]

I feel the same about the ELF Soft Glam, but then I'm always surprised at the hype many ELF products get, I rarely like their products once I try them, so unlike Abby I haven't had much success with ELF in the last few years. Truthfully, I had better luck with them when they were cheaper and not trying to dupe everything. Those are the products of theirs that I enjoyed....

[@AbbeyYung]

So many gems pre dupe phase!

[@PodieM18]

@AbbeyYung like the little bite sized cheek duos, how I miss those....

[@taranullius9221]

@@PodieM18 We only lost them very recently in Australia. I bought several for my little niece 'cos they were on clearance for $2 (so, knew they were cancelled). Bring back all 4 pan palettes. I had Bronzer, Cream Blush, Powder Blush and the Contour and Highlight palette. They've even discontinued Camo powder and CC in Australia (after it barely got here). Gotta go "clean girl" or "natural" or "dewy" I guess. No powders or full coverage. I've bought most of their new releases/more expensive youth-orientated rip-off stuff and I couldn't care if I lost all of it.

The Fino is supposed to be used before the conditioner. My hair is super-fine and it’s the best I have ever used.

[@hafizakhan8503]

I have 3b high porosity hair.The Dyson rich, coils hair pre treatment is an amazing game changer. Keeps my curls defined, great hold without cast, anti humidity is not bad but my hair so porous,nothing is perfect. My air wrap curls stay defined. Agree with u on other products

[@margo308]

fino hair mask is my one and only love. after 2 weeks of using it regularly I didn’t recognized my hair, really helps me a lot

[@zekaay]

I use the Redken glossing leave-in spray only as a heat protectant and use another leave-in conditioner under it. It works well this way. for wavy medium hair that is.

[@cevr7847]

The K18 conditioner was disappointing. I think that’s why they are giving away a full sized bottle if you spend $100. Abs, thank you for not being afraid to call out Blake Brown Lively Reynolds for that cheap ish. My Target already got rid of that mess.

[@AbbeyYung]

Are they?! Danggg yeah that definitely seems like they're not selling as expected.... And always!! That's so interesting I feel like my Target never even got it fully in stock and just never has

Omggg I love the elf foundation and fina hair mask ❤

[@sydneyrhoad1567]

I got sucked into the wavy talk because it had what looked like SO many positive reviews online but I didn't realize it was a tiktok oversaturation thing. I agree, it took so many passes, even on the highest setting, and my hair didn't even look that amazing at the end. I at least got the other curling attachments which work fine, but if I'd gotten only the round brush I would've returned it entirely.

Love the video and you look so pretty! I feel that the fino mask works better than every other product on my hair, including most of the everpure conditioners and even the dove hair mask which I absolutely love. I need the tiniest amount of it bc too much actually weighs my hair down and my hair just immediately feels so soft and detangled, and looks super shiny.

[@tvmayer]

Hello lovely!! Have you tried the mise en scene hair serum yet? I really love it and the scent is delightful!! Also jsyk: I have been using the wet brush shine enhancer brush for a few months and holy crap - the BREAKAGE! it pretty much wrecked my hair. I’ve enjoyed the normal wet brush in the past but this one 😮😮😮. So I had a lil binge of your videos and went nuts this weekend and bought all the bond builders and a mason Pearson brush. Thank you in advance for fixing me, hehe. Now I just need you to find me a man and do my taxes for me. 😘

[@lanigal]

Same experience with the fino mask! I tried leaving on for a few mins, 30 mins & after another hair mask… nothing made my hair feel or look great! But I do have a thermal brush like that one and I use it to curl my hair (holding it vertically)… I have another hot brush that’s like the tymo one with almost comb looking fins that straightens better… you might want to give that a try? It would be like stacking flat iron plates with some room to fit the hair through. But the wavy talk brush curls better with the right technique and is the only way I can style my curtain bangs 😂

Thank you for this type of content, I am a Pureology girly but would love to find a lesser priced version...I stray a little I do like the Redkin bond repair in the white bottle as well. I use zero heat styling anymore and in my 50's my hair has never been longer, thicker or more glossy. I know the lack of heat damage along with the products I am using have made a world of difference (I could not grow my hair past my shoulders in my 30's). Truth be told I need to watch content like you generate because I can not afford to purchase and then not use a product, I would be stuck with the disappointment so thank you!

[@EverythingAndNothing08]

I thought you were supposed to use it on dry hair - unless you're trying to fry off your hair.

[@rinitruong]

You’re supposed to use it on dry hair, or 90% dry hair, since it’s just a heated brush. It doesn’t blow dry the hair like the revlon one.

I'm so sorry ELF's Satin Finish foundation didn't work out for you. I found the perfect match for my complexion and I think it's lighter weight than the Camo CC Cream. It smooths out my old acne scars, too, which is terrific. I hope you find something that works.

[@FaceItGrace]

Hi Abbey, I'm curious how exactly you incorporate regular and anti dandruff shampoos into your routine? Do you believe people with oily scalp but don't suffer from dandruff would benefit from a dandruff shampoo? Also I know you recommended Olaplex and raved about it until all the controversies started coming out. Product preferences change, fine. Not mad about that. I guess I want to know why as soon as a more expensive range came up you jumped ship.

My nomination is for the Patrick Ta foundation. I will be 44 tomorrow. I had not had a breakout in at least 20 years and have used Retin-A about that long. Just saying… That foundation broke me out like a teenager and broke up on my skin within an hour like my skin was super oily and it is usually more normal combination. Humid environment?

[@RealLeeRozario2491]

FINO hair mask didn't work on my hair unfortunately. I have fine and low porosity so that is the reason why. It tangled my hair leading to breakage and a gummy feeling no matter how much I used. Even after watching Audrey Victoria explain that you have to put it on shampooed-rinsed hair and leave for 20 mins, it was just a long process and annoying, but didn't work haha. I think the texture you felt was the royal jelly which is their selling point lol. The Tsubaki mask is awesome for me though and it smells so much better. I have Asian hair too if that matters.

[@kelliebrown-gx7ff]

The Redken products worked beautifully on my hair and it was shiny and the ends were conditioned and it was nicely soft and combable even when wet. However I did not know that peroxide was the active ingredient for the shine. In the early part of the 70s a shine shampoo came out with peroxide as the shine ingredient. I cannot remember the brand but it was not a professional product.

[@loriwilson6079]

I love the scent of the Blake Brown products and my fine hair reacts well with the masks BUT the shapes of the bottles are a pain and not worth the trouble.
