[@sofiaandrade8416]

You were THE beauty guru for me... Last month I finally managed to get my hands on your highlighter with revolution and I was SUPER happy. And then my boyfriend got drunk and threw up in my makeup bag. I've never cried that hard. Didn't find a new one, had to get back to Brazil and probably will never see this pallete again in my life 😂

You can’t go wrong with the Zoella days- I actually remember watching her first for one of her hair tutorials! I was starting year seven, twelve and extremely insecure. I had no interest in makeup but I fell into the world of beauty KZbin. Watching her now engaged with a toddler and a baby on the way is super cool, plus seeing you because I remember popping in and out from your channel!

Aw, your little tangent about not giving up on yourself just hit me so hard. I got chills. I’m 18 and have been battling lots of health problems for the last 5 years. I wasn’t able to complete (or even start) high school because I was just so sick. With all of my friends off to college now, it is so hard for me to see myself ever getting there. Not only am I struggling physically, but my illness has given me such a mental block and anxiety over ever getting out of it. It’s kinda taken away some of my self confidence. You are so right though. There are going to be brighter days ahead. Thank you so much for being such a true and genuine person, Soph, you really just make my day and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come! You are inspiring ❤

*I'm not a doctor* But the thing that helped a lot with preventing hormonal acne for me was taking spironolactane (obviously prescribed by my dermatologist). When I was on that + tretinoin there was a significant difference in my skin! Unfortunately i'm in the US and i lost my health insurance for a while so i got off both prescriptions but this is a great reminder that i should go to the derm now that i have insurance again

[@marrissashannon]

You were one of the first beauty gurus I watched that really got me into makeup! I bought all your Revolution collab products. Still watch you religiously! My favorite beauty gurus/creators today are you, Jamie Genevieve, Brianna Fox, Taylor Wynn, and JuicyJas.

[@wesley2161]

I had a fatigue of beauty KZbin for a while, but your videos always had me coming back.

[@lslayton8]

Girl, I am 28 years old and I have tried EVERYTHING. I went through Accutane last year and the only thing that has helped my hormonal acne is Spironolactone. I haven’t had a breakout in 4 months. If you have a dermatologist or a family physician I would talk to them. I love your content and I understand the struggle ❤

[@EnvyBlu]

Yes I agree 100%! I’m 49 and struggled with hormonal acne all my life, until just a year ago when I started Spironolactone. It’s the only thing that worked for me! Oral Spironolactone and topical Tretinoin is the best acne treatment combination. My skin has never been clearer. People mention the side effects of Spironolactone but I haven’t had any at all. I get mine from Apostrophe online.

[@neyetonthesun]

Came here to also comment about Spironolactone! The girlies who know know. Of course do your research and talk to your doctor to see if it’s the right route for you!

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

This made me so nostalgic 😪❤️ I don't know if anyone feels the same, but makeup just doesn't play a huge role in my life anymore, most of the time it's too time and money consuming. However, I will always be a makeup girlie. I still love watching tutorials, playing with different colours and textures, swatching eyeshadows in the drugstore, and so on. I'll never forget my teenage KZbin beauty days ❤

[@GaGaObession]

I feel the same!! now I don’t buy loads of new products & just keep repurchasing my faves - but still love watching videos etc

I remember you talking about your struggles of catching the train on your own and going places on your own and I really used to relate to that.

Healthy Mix, Collection concealer and the little MUA lipsticks that had the screw off part at the bottom... And the BarryM jelly gel nail polishes are such a throwback too!! I don't play around with makeup as much anymore because it's so much quicker to go for barely there makeup, but I always love getting the opportunity for an all out glam look. Adored this video xx

14:12 Soph, there are a lot of new generation contraception pills, that treat those conditions and really benefit the woman’s health all over. Just ask your gynecologist, you will then get a blood work for hormonal imbalance, and you’ll them receive a prescription from your doctor. It also helps with menstrual cramps and weight gain, and even to plan the pregnancy for those who have difficulties or just want to help their reproductive system and get ready for this. Good luck!! ❤
