I’m amazed at how beautiful your property is. You have to do a plants tour one day. I think i saw roses 🌹

[@StateofKait]

Thanks, but I can't take any credit! We're renting Jon's parents house and his Dad is a farmer and expert gardener. I actually did a garden tour but never posted it. Maybe I'll edit that this weekend!

[@amyjohnson4543]

I do have before and after photos from the mask, I'm over 60, and the difference is amazing. Love it!

[@StateofKait]

So glad to hear that! I know it’s the kind of thing I’ll be happy I used consistently years from now

[@nicstyl]

I wonder how many of us are still on the search for something like that original Bite lip mask. Loved the original stick, too. Wish I had stockpiled them!

[@StateofKait]

Same!!

[@clareduncan175]

Aww Thumper 🥰 Would love to see more of him ❤️

[@TheGarsowTwins]

RIP Bite lip mask. I love the Lanolips golden salve! Its the closest I feel like I've found.

[@StateofKait]

Same, definitely the closest but it smells like a farm and isn't sticky enough for me so I'm still searching. Or I just have to make the damn product myself lol

[@TheSim1derful]

Thumper is SO cute I'm crying wtf 😭😭

[@seska__]

The Thrive mascara really is unbeatable, I always end up going back to it - mainly because washing it off at night is just so easy! Nothing else I’ve been able to try compares

[@StateofKait]

It’s too good

[@allnamesarechosen_]

I actually never tried the agave lip mask, that being said one that I love is the Nuxe rêve de miel, it has a lot of beeswax which is probably what makes it stay on forever!! The smell its amazing, and its also great for healing the lips (I'm on accutane and I swear by it), it comes on a little glass jar which I really like, and it lasts a long time! If you haven't try it, def give it a shot! I've been purchasing for years, the first time I ever got it was because Lisa Eldridge recommended it for it not being glossy, which is another thing I love.

[@StateofKait]

[@molly___reads]

I loved this… I feel like you broke down LED mask models so well for me… it’s been overwhelming researching them and you were so succinct and articulate! Thanks!!❤

[@molly___reads]

And your puppy is the cutest 🥲

[@StateofKait]

Omg if you want AMAZING information that is comprehensive but easy to digest, follow Goalstogetglowing on Instagram. She had an amazing breakdown of every LED mask. She compares the efficacy, cost, science, claims, etc, and she said omnilux and current body are basically the same. She has IG posts and a highlight and shows before and after pics

[@alexacase4993]

Try the Refy lip gloss (it’s not only a glassy lip gloss but very protective and hydrating) and I think you’ll like it!

[@mari22]

Thumper ❤❤ Loved to see him, and your amazing garden 🌿 Loved this vid, too!! If you ever need super hydrating, soothing and most sensitive skin/eyes friendly eye cream; try Cosrx Snail Peptide Eye Cream 🩵 Or more gel like; Klairs Fundamental Eye Gel. Both are also cruelty free, and work well under makeup.

[@belindalarissa311]

Girl dupe the bite lip mask I’ll be first in line to buy it !! I’m obsessed with lip balms etc !!

[@lisapearson1706]

Always love seeing Thumper in your content! And the Fitglow concealer is my all-time favorite. I’m not even tempted by other concealers because the Fitglow is just the best. And RIP the Bite lip mask. The reformulation was so sad.

[@StateofKait]

YAY I'm so glad you love the Fitglow too!

[@thebeatles170]

Love these videos!❤ As for the video rec’s, maybe a guide to going to concerts or music festivals while having a chronic illness. Outfit and makeup tips and ideas for them too. Honestly I really like your chatty videos🥰

[@StateofKait]

I love that idea! Can definitely see myself doing that on my personal channel

[@thursdaymorningthoughts]

Thumper is so adorable and I’m loving those earrings!! If I missed a link to them in the description box, I apologize. I would love a link to them if they are still available!

[@StateofKait]

[@choosebetter]

Does anyone see the Beachwaver at $149? I’m so bummed out if I missed a mega sale… but loved seeing all these recommendations! ❤

[@StateofKait]

So bummed. It was at $44 for a long time so I just assumed it was about to be discontinued. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for another sale

[@pamallen7534]

I tried the Thrive and you’re right- it’s amazing! Really love. I agree about the fitglow concealer, but a new favourite for me is the shiseido synchro skin self refreshing concealer. It’s goooood!

[@teresaglina]

Agreed that the thrive is the best of the best 🥰

[@carriew662]

I was also devastated when Bite changed that formula! I still have a couple, but I know it’s just a matter of time before they’re gone. 🥺 You should definitely start your own line! As for video ideas, I’d love to see some more showing how you do you makeup because it always looks so lovely. I love chatty get ready with me and trying new product videos (which I know aren’t doable for a lot of creators for various reasons). I also love everyday makeup drawer and ones where you show your absolute top (if I could only keep one of each, etc). Also, I’d love some clothing inspired content because I’m at such a loss! Clothes are so cheaply made lately, not to mention it’s hard to buy in store. I’d like to buy more quality pieces and have no idea where to start. ☺️

[@StateofKait]

Love your ideas! In fact, I’ve already filmed videos for all the ideas you mentioned. Yay

[@meepmoopmeep1]

RIP indeed to the old Bite lip mask! I used to live in a much colder, dryer climate and that was the only product that worked when my lips were at their worst.

[@StateofKait]

Same!

Kait I just adore Thumper, what a great dog to love❤️

[@StateofKait]

[@Future-zx9ts]

I always love hearing about things that are staples in people’s routines. I have several products I’ve used for *years* (Maybelline full n soft waterproof & tret - I’m looking at you, babes!😂), and it’s great to have staples that you know will never let you down. Thanks for sharing yours, Kait! Oh! And loved the video of your pup, too. He’s such a handsome guy. 😍

[@StateofKait]

Awwwww thank you!

[@rachelsilverman1390]

[@StateofKait]

Thanks! Sadly the sweater is Forever 21 from about 10+ years ago haha

[@LisaF_]

Thumper is the CUTEST!! I have been wanting to try the Face Glaze forever-and I love eye creams - so I stopped the video at the beginning and bought it before the rest of the video even ran! I could not resist with your 15% off code! How could anyone hate the Laneige lip mask? It’s so nice! I put it on as I start my makeup so by the time I’m ready for lips they are in great shape. A quick blot and it doesn’t interfere with the performance of lip products. That said, if you open a company and release a dupe of the Bite Agave Lip Mask, I will be your customer forever!

[@StateofKait]

Awww, thank you! I hope you like the kit ❤️

I miss the OG agave lip mask as well! The maple flavor was incredible and a perfect shade for my medium tan skin. Lanolips is not quite the same, doesn’t spread as nicely. IF YOU LAUNCH YOUR OWN BRAND TO MAKE THIS I WILL FOREVER BUY!! And if you do I beg beg beg you to make the maple shade/scent 😂

[@lauraboland9237]

I ordered the fitglow concealer after you raved about it on a video and you were right, I love it! I have been trying every new concealer and returning it but this one truly is fabulous, especially for someone who does not like to powder under the eye. I even took a chance on 2.5 instead of 2 and when I tested it on my hand I was thinking no way because my doublewear concealer is so much lighter, but I love having the coverage without having to be so much lighter than my makeup shade. That was probably an old habit I should have quit a long time ago-too light of a concealer 😅

[@StateofKait]

Yay!!

[@Whtpaper]

[@StateofKait]

Heads up - they don’t allow returns but I do think they have complexion sample packs. If not, if you’re in the US, the website integrity botanicals offers free samples of the Fitglow concealer if you make a purchase on their site (and you can just get a $7 chapstick or something to get the 3 free samples)

[@monicadrew889]

I might try this cleanser. Ive been on a hunt for a new one. I just bought the yeti cup. I’ve been looking for something for my water at the gym.

[@cindyb9830]

This was a nice relaxing video for a Sunday. Starting out with Thumper was great, as I just got back from TJ Maxx with 4 different treats for our dog!! Maybe a video on daily essentials that fit the drugstore prices or dupes? Just a thought.💚

[@StateofKait]

Oh thank you!

[@axreason]

i've actually also found that adapalene works better for my breakouts than tretinoin. i tried sticking with tret for 2 years but it wasn't until i went back to adapalene that the breakouts stopped. loved this video! a recommendation: use retinaldehyde on your chest and neck if those areas are too sensitive for tretinoin.

[@StateofKait]

Oh thank you so much! I don’t know why I never thought to use my epidural forte or tret on my chest! Brilliant!

Hey kait! Was just wondering how would you compare the huda beauty full coverage concealer to the fit glow concealer? Thanks. I've been wanting to try the fit glow

[@StateofKait]

They couldn't be more different! Huda is very thin and spreadable, sets down to a matte finish, and I'd say medium to buildable coverage. Fitglow is thick, tacky, hydrating, full coverage, blurring, anti-bacterial and has the same ingredients in their eye cream. I prefer Fitglow because it's so long lasting but makes my eyes look really hydrated. And if you only use a little bit, I don't find it creases and it wears 9+ hours looking fresh. It's my favorite for a reason! Huda is just ok. I couldn't find a shade match in the Huda range.
