[@PoisonedApathy]

Your effort to find dupes for everything really sets up apart from other creators. It really shows you haven't lost touch with the reality of most of your audience as your icome has grown. You appear so grounded and down to Earth. Also, your sense of humour and personality are so refreshing.

[@emeline_4]

I love this comment, this is all very true!

[@Truth1561]

The dupes for the May Lindstrom are still way out of a lot of people's budgets at almost £60.

[@PoisonedApathy]

Sue Hadley I know, but oils are expensive and a splurge anyway. 60£ it's still expensive but it's something you can save up for more easily than 90£.

[@clare11]

Really liked this style of video moving around and using the products, lots of variety was great

[@libbylaughlove]

creativecatlady I second this! It felt so natural!

[@sotellmedaisy]

Anna, your obsession with the bathroom is so funny, yet so relatable 😂 I Lol so much when u mention foot cream haha

[@melissadiarnefarmer]

Loved the format of this video. Hope you are having a fabulous Sunday. You always make mine. Also I wished to mention that I love how reliable you are. Sunday morning to me is; 9am catch up with Anna & like clockwork there you are 😁

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Aw thanks Melissa! X

[@catmcg6869]

I feel like I would rather a seasonal favourite over a monthly favourite. I love that you don't change your favs all the time, it's much more realistic than some other youtubers but it can get a bit repetitive as you're good at highlighting your favourites in other videos anyway.

[@natalies3962]

Much, much prefer this style of favourites video! Makes it a lot more interesting to watch than just sitting in one spot :)

[@lizzyjephson7594]

Brilliant format, loved it. Felt fresh and the pace and variety really holds your interest as you want to see what happens next. You are such a sweetheart and your ‘obsession’ with your beautiful new bathroom is adorable. Great video. X

[@ambernichole8494]

You're like a breath of fresh air!! Favorite KZbin ever!!! Love you!!! 😍

[@scottycaplan8122]

I don't want to sound like a hardcore fan but Anna, your videos are getting better and better ! Have a beautiful sunday

[@melocotonki]

THIS is the answer to favourites not being boring! Love the half tutorial half chatty video

[@vd5422]

Love this.So much better than just talking about the products.😊

[@thebohemiandog7661]

I love love love love the layout of this video !!!!!! way prefer it to normal favourites and watched it all the way through! felt very calm and 'real' and informative and felt like you were genuine and passionate about everything! please film like this again

[@kimmdesignstudio5933]

Because of you Anna, I bought a leopard print jacket from Mango a year or two ago. I never thought I would be into it!

[@mariazambrana682]

Oh, Anna. So I’ve been watching your videos for years now and, oh my, I feel as though we could be best buds. I literally laugh out loud at all your jokes. I so enjoyed this format of your favorites! Can’t wait for the bathroom tour part 2!

[@afiqahamil683]

Love this kind of videos! Keep them going! And your hair looks amazing!

[@ashwastitripathi8803]

I loved this! Thank you for the longer video. I'm not sure if it's fully intentional but I feel you understand that we miss you and so you have started making the videos longer! P. S. I love your hair like this! Reminds me a lil of that time when you had long hair!

[@hexxicy]

The look in your eyes when you realized you forgot bronzer was priceless! I definitely have those moments weekly when doing my makeup. I’ve gotten to work with eyeliner on but no mascara before- that was quite a look.

[@blackandwhitecookie]

Im glad you did drugstore favorites!! :)

[@myspandex]

I find that if you use small black cable ties (and trim off the ends) and attach to the neck of the Aesop hand wash/cream it significant reduces the amount that can be dispensed at any one time. Our guest bathroom hand wash lasts well over a year this way.

[@mademoisellesachaaa]

Oooh like a zip tie, that's a good idea!

[@smugglersdaughter]

LOVE the Aesop Resurrection hand wash.

[@emilyweber8216]

What a unique favorites video-- loved it! Such good variety and I love the GRWM incorporated in.

[@thisKerst]

loving this format! very personal, soo many products mentioned and you give us a good look into them by using them! :)

[@sarahb1375]

This format of favourites video is definitely something I'd like to see more of - standard "show and tell" videos are absolutely fine but it was really nice to see you actually using the products and showing us how you incorporate them into your routine! Also, I DEFINITELY need to give your hair tutorial a go even though I have long hair and it probably won't work as well, but I feel like I won't be living my best life unless I try!! 😂

[@itsanjuhlli]

I'm totally going to try that hair curling technique tomorrow! Ah I can't wait to read Lily's book too :)

[@jenster666]

L’Oréal should do refills for the cushion foundation.

[@sheilaoriordan75]

Thejenster it is sold out everywhere in all but the darker golden shades. Found vanilla in one place and immediately ordered. I used one up and couldn't find it again so went for the Lancôme cushion, but the loreal was just a lighter feeling on the skin which I loved. Everywhere said waiting for stock now still same as it did 4 months ago

[@nikkitroy5236]

Thejenster and drives me mad about the shade not being on the package.

[@sohogrunge]

The original lancome cushion and the original l‘oreal one Anna showed are identical! Compare the ingredients. Lancome is super pricey tho :-/

[@ZacHeartVanessa]

I live in Finland and the Loreal one was just discontinued! Just when I found a fave foundation that didn't break me out. Obvs it very well might still be sold in the UK/the States, but just a heads up.

[@jenster666]

sohogrunge the L’Oréal cushion is €21.99 here and the Lancôme refill is €25. This is why I think the L’Oréal should do a refill. It’s way too expensive for a high street foundation.

[@woolenoaks3842]

Perfect length & type of video for my weekly face mask :)

[@sheemash44]

Love your enthusiasm about your flat and bathroom!! Makes me wanna redo my entire house😂

[@hattiel719]

Pleeeease do this format for future favourites videos!! Love it

[@hj471230]

LOVED this video and how you moved around! It’s so good to see how much you love your new bath. Excited for you and excited to watch the tour! There’s nothing like a 20 minute favorites from Anna on a Sunday morning. I’m not sure anything can top that! 💜

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thank you Heather! X

[@nics4338]

That hairstyle looks so simple but so effective. Beautiful 😍

[@katieparrish6425]

This format was great! Definitely a refreshing take on monthly favorites!

[@nikkitroy5236]

Love this style of video, monthly favs can get a bit repetitive. Fab idea Anna!

[@missifvh]

I was watching this on mute as im in a crowded room. And ive been following you for so long that i can tell by your face and hands movements exactly what youre saying 😂

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

Iris turn on the captions. I do it all the time whenever I don’t have headphones.

[@lynnifer1194]

Like this format a ton! Makes it very relatable!

[@carolinavieira5947]

I just love you upload on sunday mornings! It is so nice to have a nice breakfast while watching your videos, I've made it a weekend routine 😄

[@e.a3968]

Love the new hair routine! It’s different but in a fabulous way. Really suits you! 😍 p.s totally onboard with the fake plant! Looks great and no maintenance = win win ❤️

[@charlotterogers3318]

Love the format Anna ! What a great way to switch up a monthly favourites, I’m off to amazon to order some books 👍 thanks for the recommendations as always x

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Thanks Charlotte! X

[@Joysteib]

Great video and love your choices for the month of February. Thanks for the book recommendations!

[@essielovescinnabon9588]

YAY!!!!!!!! NO MENTION OF GLOSSIER HALLELUJAH. loved the video

[@TheClauMiau]

essie costa just read this hearing glossier primer rich in the video 😂😂😂

[@catrionalauder3646]

Loved the concept of showing us you using the products! Already added these books to my amazon wishlist as I need them in my life! You definitely should read 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine' as it's amazing!

[@amywinter5207]

Definitely love this 'move round' favourites video. Really enjoyed this Anna!! X

[@louboup6117]

Loved this format Anna 😀👍

[@vivianavillarreal8085]

I loved this new style of favorites, Anna! Keep it up! It’s great :)

[@seriouslysquidney]

Love this video, I would honestly be obsessed too if my bathroom was as nice as yours! Also thank you for finding dupes for us! I splurge on some items but can't do it on everything so having other options is really nice

[@lifeinthegrey]

Love this sort of video so much. ✨

[@sophieluck6407]

loving the book recommendations Anna! I am such a slow reader but i powered through Celeste Ng’s first book after you spoke about it and i’m whizzing through everything i know about love as well. so happy i’ve found someone who’s book suggestions are right up my street 🙌🏼😁

[@whome718]

I loved this setup!! One of my favorite “favorites” videos of yours!

[@Ca_1021]

i've never seen this technique of doing hair but i loved the outcome! super pretty.

[@britnikuizin2807]

Great format for monthly favorites!

[@Bangtanbvb]

I love watching your videos! How are you not on a million yet?!

[@essiebejb]

If you are dehydrated also try the 7 skin method hailing from s. Korea, 3-7 layers of hydrating toner of choice, no acid toner. Works like a dream for my skin!

[@bookishfairygodmother]

Love this style of video so much! Also I think that mustard colour would look so good on you!! And I’m going to try your hair trick. I love the mix of waves and curls. 😊

[@whatnowebony9953]

Anna, this was such an interesting way to do a favourites, I loved it!

[@carolgilmore2351]

Love the new format!

[@ArnaAlayneMorton]

Really enjoyed this format, Anna!!

[@alana-melanieabdul-hafiz6210]

Loved this style of a favorites video

[@rubywhelan7888]

Love this format of favourite videos Anna- so much more interesting and engaging!! Love from aus xo 💜

[@neysarodriguez9622]

Thanks Anna you’re always so fun to watch, love your videos😊

[@supergirlnancy1]

Love Love Love this style of video of your favorites!

[@breakfastatemmas]

Loved this video. Felt like a proper insight into your month.

[@oldbutfunkyable]

loved the new format.

[@anamoreira2711]

Loved this video, Anna! And thankfully now I know the secret to that gorgeous hair of yours! 😘

[@sarjaen2091]

Really enjoyed the video xo

[@EverydayEdit]

✨Love this format 💕💕💕 Must have taken lots of time editing 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼✨

[@caralum]

Love this style of vlog Anna! xx

[@alisueblogs9029]

I think the l'oréal cushion foundation is a great daytime foundation - brilliant for barely there makeup days. The matching cushion bronzer is fantastic too - gives a really natural finish because it hasn't got the matifying powder finish or the thickness of a cream. It's really easy blend too. They do blushes too but only seems to be for the Asian market and I wish they'd bring them to the UK!

[@lirakhand4534]

Absolutely admire your videos! It's like catching up with a good friend 💕

[@CNGOO]

love this new video style, especially since its 20mins :)

[@eleishalikes1183]

Loved this video. Super chatty and you’re naturally funny. Feel like I’m going to have to buy a lot of these 💸. Fav KZbinr X

[@str9047]

Loved the style n vibe of this one. Nice change from the "sat down" catch ups. .. not that we mind those

[@GemmaJade]

Anna you are for sure my foundation twin! Xx

[@justbecauseitsbeauty]

I really enjoyed this format Anna xx

[@mialucas2000]

Yes to this style of video 🙌

[@annapomorska5017]

Love this moving video, oh Anna you’re so hyped I need the same thing lol xx

[@grainnegiggles]

Love this style of video Anna x

[@MS-uz2mh]

Love this way to do a video and also can’t wait for this wednesday in London !!!!!!!!

[@shahd-cd2yz]

i really liked the format of the favourites video

[@ruivademinas]

Your editing skills are awesome!

[@breyana302]

When you’re curling your hair, it’ll be a lot easier to control if you keep the hair iron pointing up while you curl 😊

[@ElenainMovieland]

Thanks Anna!! I really love this version of February favs!!!!😊😊😊

[@sarahelizabel]

Love this format!

[@ellierobinson89]

I really liked this style of favourites! Xx

[@anitacnolan83]

Anna please do a post on Amsterdam. I'm going in May and would love some tips on where to go, places to eat and drink..etc. Love your videos and bathroom😁

[@TheAnnaEdit]

Sorry love, I didn’t really document too much of our time there but I highly recommend the Canal Museum, Rijksmuseum and Winkle 43 for an apple pie x

[@trumpetmuppet]

You remind me a lot of Maisie Williams who plays Arya Stark on Game of Thrones. Gorgeous

[@misstickleeast268]

Yay! Loving that you’re adding in interiors stuff 😍

[@misstickleeast268]

ps Deauville is pronounced Doe Vill x my stepmother comes from there 😘

[@erinmarie840]

Hi Anna, I love hearing your book recommendations. I downloaded Celeste Ng's first book (audiobook) while watching on an app from my library.

[@neweverymorningmercy3491]

You are a delight to watch....I just wanted you to know that and I liked the style of this video very much. I will have to check out those books. And I love a good animal print too and need to add a new one, the overcoat is a nice look.

[@vanessavermaak2711]

Love the style of this video ❤️

[@mlfs87]

[@carolinecracco7029]

Love this style of video!

[@anjli250484]

[@debnew6195]

Great video format Anna :)

[@LEMONSareGREAT97]

Loved this format Anna, was refreshing after the repetitive, sit down, 'talk through all favourites' vids

[@kaydiemayzes5391]

Loved this video

[@PrimroseBigwood]

Literally ADORE your videos! x

[@MichelleGlassow]

I need to try that hairstyle!

[@RMGeorgina]

The nice Magique foundation is amazing, I bought it on recommendation from you in one of your vids and I couldn’t find it either in both boots and Superdrug so bought on amazon! Definitely will be stocking up if it’s getting discontinued 😩 Thanks Anna again for another fab vid, LIVING for your bathroom cabinet ❤️

[@tm-93]

Will try the hair tutorial :D good idea to tie the curled hair up, it is always in the way when i do it xP

[@NAinLondonia]

Based on your book loves this month I would say read “Beartown”. Don’t be put off by the hockey aspect. It’s wonderful.

[@ralphandleosmom9075]

The cushion makeup is in stock at amazon/US. I use N2 and love it.
