Smooches....Farewell To This Channel

[@gilded_lady]

Smooches! 12 years is an eternity in KZbin years. Wishing you happiness and success in everything you do .

[@elainebines6803]

Staying on KZbin. Watch this video in full when you can

[@gilded_lady]

@@elainebines6803 Yeah, I was at work. I do know about the second channel now.

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Smooches back to you! Getting someone to stay at any job for 12 years is A LOT! Smooches 😘

[@TheFolkyboy]

I just need to say that when Mel died, a part of the KZbin beauty space died. I suddenly didn’t want to come here and watch videos because I legit could it stop crying over her passing. I can only imagine how hard this effected people who knew her more than I did! I started watching her since she used to film in her bedroom on the floor. Her creativity was just so unique and felt completely unbiased. I love you, too Kelsea. I am sorry that you aren’t doing the channel anymore but I can completely understand why. Life sucks and it’s been so tough for me to find my passion for cosmetics like I did back in the day. I know no one is as talented as you or her right now in this space. So it’s hard to not have you two to continuously fall back to. But thank you for all that you have done. Seriously. Thank you.

[@amymoseleysmith7494]

I have lost my best friend from Childhood in 84 when I was 28. I lost my best friend from my College years when I was 56. I truly know what you have experienced. You never stop grieving, because you never stop loving those who have gone on!

[@Heather_isms]

I'm forever grateful to Mel for introducing us and to you for being the true beauty that you are, Kelsee 💋 I shall continue to support you wherever life takes you. Love to you, always H 💜

[@Goldie9899]

That’s exactly how I found you and I can only imagine how much you miss Mel!! You are so beautiful and talented…and will be missed!! I 💯 agree with what Heather said and couldn’t have said it better!!

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Thank you Heather! Glad to have you as a Kel Belle! Smooches 😘

[@coffeebeforemascara]

@@Goldie9899 Me too!

[@LaurenMaeBeauty]

I am so excited for you and this new chapter!! Your passion and talent for makeup has always been amazing and your personality shines!!! Sending you so much love!! Can’t wait for all the videos on House of KBJ ❤️❤️❤️

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Lauureeeeennn! You are so sweet! This means so much to me! Thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment! I appreciate you & I’m glad to have people like you in this community! It makes the experience THAT much richer! Smooches 💋

[@ashrt4282]

The algorithm stuff makes me very sad. Because your talent is above and beyond so many out there and you should have way more subscribers. I’ll miss you❤️ and will always think of you and Mel. *edit* I JUST SQUEEEEELED AT THE END. YESSSSSSSS YOU CAN DO IT🎉❤ Mel would not have wanted you to quit 👏

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Aww thank you!!! Smooches 😘

[@teebaby1978ify]

Girl I just hear so many emotions😔😳👀 and then🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♀️💨💨NOW KBJ👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@TaraLynnbeauty]

I have to say, I'm so excited and READY your new journey. Everything you've told me about your original channel, I have felt it's holding you back. I know you struggled with coming to this decision, but I know it was the right one, it is time❤️ I am here for you, anything you need. I will continue to spread the word, and I'm so excited for you🎉💕 Your new trailer is INCREDIBLE. Congrats on that, girl🔥🔥 Fresh start with a growing channel, girl, you're going to kill it❤️❤️❤️

[@MariaMadeleine2809]

When Mel passed, I thought about all the people that I know she touched through the years. But first and foremost, I thought of you. I didn't know her - and yet I cried so many times in the time after! I never felt like that before. And I thought of you so many times. Because it was so unbelievably noticeable to even a blind person that Mel loved you more than anything! Try to find a video where she doesn't mention you! 😄 Wow! What a friendship you must have had. And so easy to see the love between you two! What an inspiration you both have been to us all. ❤️ Your new channel sounds like the way to go, and I will continue to follow. And the name of it calls for production of so many lines of makeup, clothing etc. from our own Kelsey! 🤩 A new leaf is turning, and I am certain that Mel is smiling down on you and rooting for you on this new journey. 💖 Congratulations, hun! Good for you! 🥰 Love and light from Denmark, Scandinavia ❤️

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

Kelsee- I know Mel is still with you and will be your angel helping you into the next phase of your life. After my dad passed I decided to go back to school and leave the nursing field. I feel like he was my biggest cheerleader through my swimming career, my college career, my nursing career, and now the future. Mel will be behind you all the way and so will the Kel-bells here! SMOOCHES!

[@sammys1884]

Omgosh. I thought u were leaving. Thank goodness ur still going to be here. 💜

[@GlamGirlChelsea]

You know we will always ride hard for you Kelsee-girl! Thank you for ALL of your hard work and dedication to us. I’m so thankful we will be able to have this channel AND still have you here on KZbin. God knows we need you! Love your girl! 😘😘😘😘😘😘 and I loved seeing younger KBJ!

[@achaley4186]

Congratulations dear lady! Thank you and God Bless you! ⭐🙂❤🙏🏼🎄

[@achaley4186]

Already subscribed! 🙂

[@dsham5971]

As talented as you are you should’ve been hit way beyond 100k. Perhaps if you start a new channel like some others have done. I’m very upset because I love your videos and also you’re right. This is the first video in a while that recommended your videos. I never get recommendations from your channel which is crazy. House of KBJ is going to be 🔥 Mel’s looking out for you!! 👼 I just subscribed❤ Best of luck 2023!

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Aww thank you! And yes! Onwards and upwards! Smooches 😘

[@AMerchBeauty]

Oh no!!!! We are going to miss this channel. We thank YOU!!! I hope this next chapter of your life brings you all the success and joy you deserve!!! 💜💜

[@roberta.g8601]

No matter what channel you are on, you will do great things in life. Sometimes we have to sit back and look at how we want to move in life.

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Thank you for speaking positivity over me! I appreciate you!! Smooches 💋

[@laurend6501]

I think the algorithm got in its feels from being called out bc this is the first day one of your videos has popped into my suggested videos feed 😂 best of luck with your restart I’ll check you out from there

[@gaozy]

This is absolutely exciting Kelsey! From one Aquarius to another, we are turning a new leaf for the better! Wishing you much success and growth in this next chapter of your career. May your life be filled with love and joy always!

[@hannypatel313]

I was so worried you were going away altogether… but I am so happy to hear that KBJ isn’t going away. I’ve learned so much about makeup from you - even though I don’t tell you… silent watcher. But I do so appreciate you and am so so so happy you’re staying and making more content. I have missed you and can’t wait to see more from House of KBJ! I’ll be there watching! ❤

[@KelseeBrianaJai]

Aww! Thank you so much! Smooches 💋

Can’t wait for he new channel!!!!!

[@JackieGreeneBeauty]

OMG Kelsee sooo sad but understandable. Seems like everything changed when our angel Mel passed, and like Mel's channel will continue to watch for support and amazing eye looks and reviews. Wishing you much love and success with your future endeavors. God Bless you

[@VenusNovember]

I understand the growth you had since starting this channel and how you need to move on to something else. Loved how you showed your beginning videos til now. I can tell how much of friend she was to you and you never really let that go, you can’t erase her memory you just keep her there forever with you❤I will be checking out your other channel

[@jiyamulani073]

Yes i knew Mel .: followed her videos religiously. I would only buy what she recommends. We all miss her.. and u are a great great friend. She talked alot abt you and Your bond was sacred. i totally understand the reason u r taking a step back. Every product launch, u guys used to review it almost the same day. Am sure it has been incredibly difficult. Hope you recover from the myriad of other things aside from your grief over Mel. Lots of hugs and best wishes to u. All the best in ur future endeavours.

[@renx5609]

Thank you for keeping your content here and thanks for letting us in on your new channel!

Mel brought me to you and I'm so grateful. I know you'll do great. Sometimes we just need a fresh start. I felt that in my soul girl. See you on the other side 💕

[@laurengrady3757]

Watching your old video at the end, I can tell you have always been such a sweet person. I'm truly sorry you've had such a hard season but I wish you all the best with your fresh start. I will definitely check out your new channel.

I just subscribed to your new channel but, I'm so glad we can still come here to watch older videos that we cherish as well....Wishing you all the success you deserve ❤️ 🙏🏽

[@nancytipton7602]

Oh wow! At first I was all sad and stuff because I've been subbed to your channel for at least half of your time on KZbin, if not a bit longer. But, I am THRILLED that you are basically only moving into a "new home" here in the beauty space, because we need you here! We are in a constant state of change and growth. Your new "House of KBJ" will be a brand new fresh beginning, but I know that I will still watch your archived videos anyway. BTW; this video showed up at the top of my feed tonight, so here's hoping that it did and does for all of your subs!

[@mamielouiseanderson2682]

Dear Kelsee, You have been such a lovely and giving creative content creator and I wish you well on your way. Your work made a difference and though fondly remembered, you’ll be missed. May the next chapter of your life flourish with love. ❤

[@sharonbaker3007]

I’m crying and happy and so excited for you! HOUSE!!! You could talk about music too! Everything! I’m so proud of what you have already accomplished, and I know there are so many more great experiences coming for you. I think I speak for all of us when I say we value your perspective, experience, skills, and creativity. So many feelings…much love 💙💙💙

[@lailarizvi5815]

Best wishes for the new channel. Subscribed to it already. I remember watching your video where you told us that your videos are not appearing on many subscribers’ feed and yeah I noticed that later on which was very sad. Sending lots of love your way 🤗

You scared me! Lol. Of course I’ll support your transition to the new channel. Wishing you the best for 2023 and happy holidays! Smooches. 💋

Thank you Daphne!! Smooches 💋

[@evelynwilkerson4800]

I read the title of this video and I started feeling so sad. Then you mentioned your new channel. I literally paused your video to subscribe. You are so incredibly talented. Your videos are always so informative and entertaining. You are amazing at what you do. My heart goes out to you during this difficult time. Mel was such a precious person, and even though I did not know her personally, I felt I knew her by following her channel. I will continue to keep you in my prayers. Have you ever considered grief counseling? It may help. In the mean time, I hope you do what is best for you. You don’t have to be a posting machine on the new channel. Take time for you first. I will happily wait. Just know that you are loved, appreciated, and are being lifted up in prayer.

[@UhapiBeauty]

Just subscribed to your new channel and wishing you the best of luck on the new one!

[@takishasallbeautyzone]

I'm so happy that you're going to give it a fresh start!! When I saw the title I was initially devastated. But I'm SO, SO, SO relieved that I'm not going to lose you. This year has been the 2nd hardest year of my life (after loosing my daughter, obviously). Last week, I lost my aunt. She is the 7th family member that has passed away in the last year, and I just can't take anymore. 😢 So I will be running...not walking...running to your new channel! I love the channel name, because I can see that name leading into the makeup and fashion mogul that I know that you are!! 🤗🤗🤗💅💃🏾👠👢🛍💄💍👗

[@Cycle_1]

Kelsee, I am sorry to see you go. I am also sorry for your loss. Take your time grieving your friend. Best wishes!

I had bought so much good stuff based on your honest and fair recommendation. My favorite KZbinr! Stayed honest and true ❤

[@Kree.B.]

I don't comment often, but I wanted to say thank you for your time. I've watched the video of you and your mom doing ya'lls make-up more than once when I missed my mom, it made me happy. When my son was an infant (he's a toddler now!) your channel was one of the few things I watched because your voice fascinated him! It still catches his attention haha. I'm sorry your channel has had so many issues and that KZbin doesn't seem to care about their creators, especially the smaller ones. I'm glad you're archiving and have the content you do with Mel on this channel though. What you 2 had was so special and amazing. Looking forward to seeing what the next chapter brings for you!!
