TRENDS THAT NEED TO DIE IN 2025

[@beatdizzy]

I was SO glad kackie didn't go into tiktok short form, I also had to delete it, I was just losing life/ time / xi. I love the long form of KZbin.

[@elishahernandez5075]

[@Henou55]

Ohh i hate the nail tapping thing.

[@mackenziex3axl]

It makes my dog bark! He thinks someone is knocking 😅 the influencers think it’s “asmr” but in reality it causes major anxiety and chaos in my life 😭

[@LadyJBeauchamp]

Ugh me too!! So annoying!

[@beatdizzy]

AND I do want to know all the things about packagings. But extraneous nail tapping is a nar.

[@kittencakes9836]

Maddening!

[@kkmarzipan]

Not to mention it ends up being less like tapping and more like dragging/scratching, like the hounds of hell are coming for you!

[@jacqsbackyard1562]

I do love that you're so empathetic. So balanced. "Not for me!" vs "I hate that!" It makes such a big difference to our mental health and to the people around us. Love your content. ❤️

[@esthers3906]

One trend that I'd like to see die is high-end skincare brands marketing to tweens and teens. 10-year-olds do not need to be buying up the Drunk Elephant section of Sephora! It's one thing if a kid with acne or eczema uses skincare products which help treat that condition, or for teens to wear a daily sunscreen and an affordable moisturizer. However, when I see literal children buying expensive anti-aging products, I lose a little faith in humanity.

[@CindyLouWho77]

I live near a Sephora that’s in the same Manhattan neighborhood as the prep school Dalton (which has a higher tuition than Harvard). The number of preteens shopping alone who buy hoards of skincare (many products that will have the opposite effect of anti-aging) and use an AmEx black card to pay is disturbing. These kids are VERY influenced by TikTok.

[@TracyD2]

I ultimately blame the parents

[@eligreene2898]

@@TracyD2as a parent I second this. It’s not just a teachers job to educate children it’s also a parents job to educate their own children.

[@sarahjones6323]

“We can’t live in fear of our future selves judging us.” YES! 🙌🏻 Also, I hate nail tapping, too 😂

[@theelletrain4775]

Honestly though, as a ‘maturing’ woman - the more I ‘mature’ the less I am likely to judge myself or others harshly, (unless it’s something particularly heinous). I’m just *extremely* grateful that ppl filming everything on their phones was not so ubiquitous! 😂 My husband is the opposite though, he’s out there judging everyone so I can’t really say for sure if it’s a maturity thing or gender thing or a personality thing. 🤷‍♀️😂

[@daniebeth]

The worst RMS ad on social media is that nail tapping on the packaging and I hate it so much I almost didn’t buy … but I love Rose Marie videos so much it overtook the anger. But ASMR can die.

[@sparkybish]

I think it’s so fun to be able to identify the year a picture of me is from by the hair/makeup/clothing. Maybe it was the year I wore that grandpa sweater every other day, or winged liner, but it’s fun to look back and see all these versions of myself.

[@julia-p1m6q]

The whispering and lip-smacking (and sometimes burping, JFC) is even worse

[@kathleenzea]

Loops earplugs have saved my marriage. My misophonia is off the charts. I have different kinds for being in the room with him while he's eating or being on the subway with people doing literally anything. (Also carry a perfume sample on the train for obvious reasons.) I have ones specifically for sleeping so I don't murder my husband in his sleep. I know this sounds like a paid ad, but I'm not involved with the brand. Loops are amazing for anyone who gets overstimulated. Love you, Kackie!

[@rosedillon6645]

I have a 6 month old, and I love loops for when she's yelling at me. They're the best.

[@annemarson4144]

It's so wild to me that people seek out content to experience noises that I find absolutely skin-crawling, like food slurping, spit-smacking, and air whistling through the nose and throat.

[@gkirb75]

Okay this has nothing to do with trends...In a previous video, and I'm pretty sure you just said it in passing, I learned that scotch tape removes that weird shiny hard powder that gets on top of pressed powders. MIND BLOWN! Coolest thing I have learned on KZbin! Thanks!! Happy New Year!!

[@kackie]

Not even my tip!!! I have a viewer to thank! ❤❤❤

[@menopause_rising]

I still cannot wait for a powder to hardpan so I can finally try it

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

It can also remove fallout glitter from eyeshadow. I stick it on the back of my hand a couple of times to make sure it's not too sticky first...

[@annkat100]

Another item that will renew a hardened pan is a gentle run-over w/ a soft toothbrush ✅ A bit of product is ‘lost’ but better than the whole pan… 💫😉🌻

[@laurac86]

@@UnpurrfectRobyn - That’s how I always remove glitter eyeshadow before washing my face! Make it sooo much easier

[@minazohradalagerjensen]

I’ve got raging misophonia too - I’m blowing up and throwing my iPad whenever someone is tapping, chewing gum, smacking their lips when applying lipstick. You name it it sends me raging😂🤯😰

[@minazohradalagerjensen]

@ just what Kackie is talking about - no triggers for me in this video. I’m sorry that wasn’t clear 😊

[@lauriemrsnash]

Yes to everything you mentioned, especially the chewing gum and lip smacking. OMFG!!

[@pegbutler7336]

Oh gawd, the “restocking” videos… All the rustling and clacking, and crinkling gives me an eye twitch

[@egreenarrow]

The clicking of nails sends me into a rage too!!! I immediately stop the video, immediately, and my mood is ruined!

[@cheryldavies5078]

As a never smoker i am so glad that it is illegal to smoke inside any public building in the UK.

[@melissabee8522]

I remember the before and after of Ohio outlawing smoking in bars and restaurants and omg I could NEVER go back!

[@SaraReffler]

i am counting the days until the "generational divide" trend of makeup categories dies. it's v3 of the side part and the skinny jeans discourse. people in all ages like all kinds of things, trendy or otherwise. but shaming something like eyeshadow as "old" not only shames the people who enjoy it but also makes it harder for people who MIGHT enjoy it to overcome the fear of judgement and try it! imagine if one day we just let people enjoy things!

[@sandragrumet]

I’m totally into your vibe and your anxiety, wanting to shake the world resonates with me. One thing I love about what you are putting out there is it’s an informed perspective with a dose of self-reflective enjoyment of the beauty industry while also giving ‘this world is crazy, let me count the ways’ so I feel more comfortable with makeup, purchases and myself when I leave. Instead of feeling like I NEED some new release, I feel like I’ll really ENJOY something I’ve seen on your channel and that puts fun back into beauty for me.

[@kackie]

My goodness what a glowing endorsement! 🥹 this is more than I even hoped I could do with my content so thank you!!!

[@sandragrumet]

@ I’ve sent your channel to my bf telling her that I want you to be my friend (my gosh, so rare 😂) and that if you are the direction beauty is going, there’s hope! Enjoy your weekend, gorgeous 😘😘

[@littlemisslipstick2999]

"Stop making self destruction cool" - YES!! Thank you!

LOL Gen X here: can’t stand “AesTetic.” 😂

[@kackie]

THANK YOU

[@melissabee8522]

Smoking as a constant- couldn’t they just drink some shitty coffee? 😂

[@confessuloveme]

Always hated TikTok. Hate seeing it on IG too. I was so hopeful when it was rumored it would be banned.

[@Thetinyfit]

I believe it’s still “supposed” to be sold but it’ll likely be blocked by the Chinese government (it’s a money maker). One can wish TikTok is the actual worst

[@ridicrach.beauty]

Not rumored, it is still supposed to be on Jan 19, but they will be appealing the decision that upheld it was legal to ban them unless they sell, and they will probably ask for an extension while that’s in progress (assuming the appeal isn’t denied) and it could be a year or more before that appeal is decided, so not yet at least…

[@rachaelbuffkin4009]

This. This video is 💯 why I have essentially reduced my YT content consumption down to you and HLP. Maybe it's also that you both became moms (of boys!) on the same general timeline that I did, and I love to hear the perspective of women who also have to be conscious of our investments in all respects. Either way, I am so grateful for our paranormal relationship and getting to hear an intelligent and thought provoking perspective on all things beauty, aesthetics, and social media, and the cultural landscape in which we engage with them.

[@Kristyn.roberts13]

Let the fun begin and trends end!🎉 I'm doing my own thing and give zero F's about trends! ☺️😁💜

[@beatdizzy]

This! Trends are interesting anthropologically, but I'm so grateful to creators like Kackie and HLP for helping me find MY style.

[@Kristyn.roberts13]

@beatdizzy 💯🎯💯

[@Olivia-bl8ez]

Thanks for admitting being an influencer is easy. I get it’s probably harder than it looks. But it’s soo ignorant hearing an influencer say it’s hard while people in their audience may have jobs like underwater welders, military, ER doctors, farmers, etc.

[@SamanthaCWR-hf5zi]

Loved this video! Such a fun discussion. The smoking being popular with teens makes me so angry, though. It's a risk factor for almost every major and common health condition, and it really ages people. I worked as a scribe in the emergency department for a couple of years, and I got to the point that I could walk into a room and know that a person was a smoker from their face and voice before even seeing it in their chart

[@justilou1]

My mother smoked so heavily (due to anorexia) when she was pregnant with me and when I was growing up, that MY DNA was damaged and I worry WTF it’s done to my own kids. (Serious secondhand health problems/massive resentment)

[@theecoedit]

I love hearing that there are so many people who still love YT and longform content as a smaller beauty creator. Maybe YT isn’t dying 😂

[@annkat100]

Agree! No matter my subject interest, long-form content is my favorite. I’m prob a true nerd; I love academic courses more than anything! So, when a vid is well-constructed, delivered by a creator w/ an engaging voice/personality, AND real knowledge about the topic they’re sharing w/ the audience… they happily get my full attention. I’m picky picky, & limit my time on KZbin, but great channels provide great insight & knowledge. Also, long-form content doesn’t wreck brain synapses 👍🏽😉

[@Palmcord]

I think you're very much on the right track with the fatalism + smoking thing, and alllllso: self-medication. About a jillion people have totally inadequate access to healthcare, especially psychiatric meds (*extra especially* ADHD meds) and pain meds. The healthcare situation and economic landscape for low-income people and those with limited access/coverage has grown worse and worse over the last six or eight years, and people will seek relief wherever they find it, particularly if they can get it without a prescription. Nicotine is a powerful psychoactive/neuroactive substance, so people put it to use. (Hat tip to my friend who was a pack-a-day smoker until they got meds and then suddenly they "didn't need to smoke as much." They didn't quit right away, but they went from a pack per day day to about three cigarettes per day with approximately zero effort. I think about that a lot, about what it means with regard to the reasons people smoke.)

C’est magnifique! 💖✨

I enjoy this chat video it feels like a conversationa you might have with your fun, witty and intelligent friend.

[@vskob1234]

In order to change all of this, the majority needs to speak up!!!!!!!!!! We’ve been told in the past decade to be quiet and that speech and words are bad, so now we are feeling horrible on the inside but we know the truth, the bad agents are now allowed to speak. Let’s bring back debate, history, and truthful facts!!!!!!! Point out the bad no matter colors, ages, sides, basic moral and values are part of each and one of us!!

[@annkat100]

Yes. Yep. 💯 IF I’m told 1️⃣ more time to shorten my txts, by my kids… IDK the outcome. They’ve chosen to use txts as replacements for their voices/talking, & I REFUSE to. So, if convos just are too intrusive for such “busy lives,” they WILL receive txts which include feelings, questions, agreed upon times (!), etc etc… I mean I AM fun/do enjoy doing nearly anything w/ each other of them + their partners/friends-for real. But short-hand communications are the fastest way to create misunderstandings &/or hurt feelings… imho 😉☮️🌻📝📞

[@Christine-uf3oj]

I'm annoyed that people are STILL calling everything a "journey" so I haven't moved on to much annoyance over "era." So many people are still on so many "journeys." But yes, as a person with misophonia the most annoying (to me) trend of 2024 is the tapping nails.

[@kimmcconnell3854]

Nail tapping drives me nuts. Also I'm excited to see what eyeshadow palettes come out. I've come to understand color and my style differently so I'd be up for buying some palettes to experiment. Mostly I get singles but it doesn't always work out like I thought.

[@CPea91]

On a smaller level, creators saying “without further ado” really grinds my gears

[@makeup_onhermind]

Yesss eyeshadows! Feel so giggly you read my message :DDD I don't really feel like they were actually going out of style, there were still a lot of palettes being released. So... yea here's to 2025 and eyeshadows "coming back" ! love ya Kackie!

[@JuliaSchep]

That influencer clip talking about how hard her job is just hawks me off. Is earning a living a grind? Yes. Is it hard? That’s relative. But some jobs are inherently difficult - like teaching, nursing, mining, etc. other jobs are as hard as you perceive them to be- selling stuff or a lifestyle to others for a living is a grind but let’s call a spade a spade - it’s not hard. And coming from that person is particularly annoying. They grate me.

[@kkmarzipan]

Thanks for addressing my gourmand fragrance comment! And yes, I mean the stuff that is like “consider the richest, densest, stickiest dessert and wear it as fragrance!” kind of thing. Interesting note: I met the Olsen twins many years ago because I worked at a well known boutique that was an early adopter of The Row when they started. Hooooo boy did they stink like little chimneys! And they definitely went out for a smoke break. I wasn’t surprised years later when the wedding cigarette bowl info came out.

13:35 I have to say I find people who say that if everyone picked their ideal career we would have no engineers so ridiculous. I am a deeply creative person and spent most of my young life wanting to be a designer of some kind before dropping out of my art and design course, after that I kind of fell into mechanical engineering and I love it, I can’t see myself doing anything else for a job. I still love creating and drawing for the people I love but I’d never choose to do it for work over engineering. Ironically I’ve also found that my work feeds an entirely different and fulfilling aspect of creativity that I feel like a lot of more traditionally creative people discount. No major points just sharing a point of view as someone who I feel like sits on the fence between art/STEM 😅

[@isabelab6851]

Non-gourmand, affordable candles: Flint Candle Co. and Queer Candle Co. they both have *some* gourmand but not like that (QCC has a “ginger tea”). But they mostly do landscapes and feelings- astrology signs, flint has one called “uncle Al’s house,” that kind of thing. Good throw, good layers, all that stuff taken care of. My hot take is that the good scent companies and what’s at sephora have almost zero overlap.

Oh god hard agree, the spitty "pss psss psssss" whispering and the clacking of nails, CONSTANTLY, on EVERYTHING -- the worst. But I'll give a pass for a brief tap while discussing the product's packaging. Sure, hearing what one or two nail taps sound like while you're telling me what the package is made of and how sturdy/fingerprint-proof/etc a case is, and can also give me a clue to the type and density of the plastic (like acrylic vs polystyrene vs polypropylene, some of which are durable and scratch resistant, some of which are brittle and prone to breaking at hinge points or chipping).

[@Nicix333]

This is super specific, but the way Wild deodorant (a refillable deodorant brand) releases all these "limited edition" deodorant cases and sends them out to influencers for ads just feels so opposite the purpose of a "refillable" product to cut down on waste??? I would respect the brand so much more if they just sent new scents and things to creators for their ads instead of the constant "look at this new design, go buy this new case." Although the product isn't so great either so I wasn't too upset to give it up.

[@beaherzberg]

Yes!!! I hate this!!

[@StellaMoors97]

I completely agree.

[@valeriesjourney17]

I'm not an ASMR fan. However, when I do find it satisfying when the creator allows the sound to be on when they are putting their collection back into storage bins in their declutter videos. Ex. Angeschka Nyqvist. A trend that I'm over is the simple eye look. I'm still rocking the dramatic eye look. However, the one that I'm totally over is the multichrome eyeshadow. I'm tired of putting a shadow on where it appears different than what is in the pan. 🦋👩‍🦰

Un my opinion vanilla is not at the core of gourmand scents - rather marshmallow, caramel etc … also boozy perfumes are very trendy and I cannot understand why one would like to smell like rum or whiskey…

I don’t think people think of it as asmr, but that thing where the creator eats a snack while doing a talking video to ~make it casual~ is the actual worst?? like idk, it just feels like they’re saying “I don’t respect you (their audience) and I’m not going to stop having my snack because you (their audience) are inconveniencing me by making me film a video, and I’m going to show you (their audience) that I don’t respect you (their audience) by talking with food in my mouth.” like……… open-mouth chewing isn’t ~casual~ it’s disgusting.

[@susanschwartz7315]

Off topic BUT….. how do you keep the akajalpencils from melting into the rest of my eyesor disappearing completely? I have Amany and lov them, but thatswhatihave a problem with ith.

[@culturecrashAL]

Kohl Kajal is an "og" recipe / category of eyeliner -- historically they weren't formulated to be extremely precise and stay exactly where you put them (and the tech and ingredients required for that kind of performance weren't even available). If you're looking for Ultra Black Eye Makeup That Doesn't Migrate, your best bet is to experiment with a few well-reviewed liner pencils or potted cream/gel formulations to figure out what works for your makeup style, your skin chemistry, and your climate -- and that might be different products for waterline vs tightline vs a big wing vs a rock'n'roll smudge-out. I'm fond of the Milani Stay Put liner pencil for waterline (it's not bulletproof, but it's longer-lasting in that spot than others I've tried), and potted cream/gel/liquid liners or shadows for wings and smudged-out liner (About Face's black liquid shadow is pretty great, or you might try a potted one like Melt).

[@TimidLecher]

If you want authenticity do not look for it on the internet, especially from an influencer. They are trying to make money. They will lie and push products. Period.

[@TimidLecher]

sorry. the super thick lash thing is a trend: like shoulder pads, mullets, rave pants, mom jeans, camel toes, skinny brows, laminated brows (it looks like you wiped jazz off your face, like that's ALL I can think about when I see it), Karen hair, chunky highlights, deep contouring in natural light, etc. It will go away and then come back again. Just like all this other stuff. You're sweet for saying it isn't....but it is. Good on yah. You're nice.

[@ah57588]

The nail tapping makes my past piano play me and current me shudderrrr XD Also, vanilla/caramel smells atrocious on me lol XD any miniscule amount of it gets amplified so hard that they all smell like I dipped into a vat of vanilla extract. Thank god I mostly go for indie perfumes XD

Same, most of my fragrances -- both personal and home -- are very masculine-leaning. Wood, oud, incense, leather, crisp herbals. Anything vanilla or dessert-ish are an immediate hard no. DS&Durga's Bowmakers, Armani Prive Bois D'encens, Maroma Olibanum & Citrus, nearly anything from Comme des Garcons... however, the gourmand perfume 'splosion makes it a lot easier for me to avoid temptation.

To me, gourmand fragrances usually mean I'm about to be murdered by a cloud of sickly sweet smell. I dislike them all, including vanilla!

I am 39. I hate and don’t care to participate in viewing TikTok. It’s like the gen-z age of “America’s funniest home videos.” Kind of dumb, generally not informative, short, random, and attention-needy. Longer formats like KZbin videos are definitely more enjoyable. However, I just found you, and I have a very similar face shape and a similar nose and the way my eyes are set to yours (I have platinum hair though), so I will be interested to see your thoughts on makeup! Also, I paint. 😊 Yay! 🫶🏼

Also, in full disclosure, I do smoke. I hate it. It’s gross, and well, I hate having to quit. It sucks. I’ve quit with all of my children. It’s definitely not classy. I fancy myself classy enough otherwise. And, I try to not be in the space of my own children or other people as well when I do. It’s a hard bad habit to kick. I try not to inconvenience others and be rude- and I do continually try to muster the urge to quit! I’ve never done any drugs. But, smoking is really hard to quit.

@@amanda7263it is hard to quit I use to smoke for many years. You’ll do it.

Yeah I'm never going to use tik tok. If I see a tik tok, I see it via reddit like a real Millennial. I also hate ASMR. Not happening. The main thing I'd like to see in the beauty space is the death of judgement and especially voicing that judgement. The amount of people who feel perfectly comfortable giving strangers unsolicited opinions on their makeup, body, hair, nose, fashion, lashes, hairline, eyebrows, skintone, nail beds, weight, jewelry color, engagement ring, FACIAL HARMONY (why is this so prevalent???), color season, femininity, masculinity, body hair, plastic surgery, and general vibe is stupid high. I could keep listing all day; it never stops and gaaaahhhHHHD. Just stop. Let people exist in peace and adorn themselves how they wish. Life's hard enough without getting complexes out of nowhere because a weirdo couldn't keep their main-character-my-opinion-is-fact-actually cakehole shut. Another thing is thin brows. It's not coming from a place of "I don't like the look so people shouldn't do it" but from a place of "babe those might not grow back and you will regret it". And couldn't your touring friend have just like....... drank a Coke? Instead of smoking 😬

So I popped over to Reddit yesterday, and my home page was full of posts from a couple makeup subs I'd visited recently while hunting for lipstick swatches. I clicked on one in MakeupAddiction that was a user's pic of her own makeup asking for feedback and also to guess her age (whyyy?). The makeup was not really my style preference, but it was fine! A little experimental, which is imo better than Same Ol' Boring! And most of the comments -- despite the sub's first rule being "kindness pls" -- were SHREEDDDDINNNNG HER. Dissing her makeup color choices, application, hair, even /downvoting all of the op's comments and replies/ and I just ... what the eff is even going on here?! Most depressing thing I've ever seen, will NOT be going back. :(

[@riven799]

@@culturecrashAL Seriously, I see these kinds of comments allllll over the place. I try so hard to combat comments like that. Anonymity can be good, but it's really gotten too many people used to saying what they want without consequences. We can dodge the "talk sht get hit" kind of consequences online, so people get reeeeeal bold. It's just gross to be a dck to people like this, even if you think you're being helpful. I've seen lots of posts like "this person irl told me my nose is too long, do I need surgery" and stuff like that and it's like WHAAAAAT

[@culturecrashAL]

@@riven799 Right?? Like how mean/angry/generally disagreeable do you have to be to ATTACK someone like that?! If you don't like her execution, kindly offer some gentle suggestions. If you don't like the style, or don't like her face, or don't like her post in general? Just skip it, bro. Nobody's forcing you to provide input. Keep your miserableness to yourself. Ugh.

YES labor thing. but also like, if we weren't expected to be robots and had the flexibility to take care of our mental and physical health and be allowed to work a few hrs/day, I'm sure a lot more people would happily do plumbing and engineering and whatever else needs doing because it's not soul sucking. And appropriate days off. Id love to be a house cleaner if i could do it for a few hrs a day because I like it and ik so many do not! But it would be impossible to afford to live doing that for a few hrs a day , heck even full time. Need a system overhaul.

I literally just smoke bc it helps me concentrate, wake up and work for long hours. Never to be cool 😕

[@lorimoore5589]

I think smoking is out and vaping is in. Can't imagine a teen smoking like we did back in the day thinking we were cool.🙄

[@Kori-Barrenger]

I love woodsy candles 🤤

[@lar8200]

Yes!! Same. Any favorites? Bath and body works has some great ones

[@Kori-Barrenger]

@ you know, I don’t have any particular favorites or a certain one I go back too. And I can be a cheap ass. Lmao I usually get them at meijer and try to pay no more than $10-15 for them. But I always end up with a woodsy candle or something citrus/lemony. I’ll have to check out bath and body works.. I know they have deals sometimes!

[@jazmeen04]

34:00 You never go back to before you smoked but you definitely reduce your risk a lot.

Gourmand fragrances. So not my thing. I can handle a Gourmand note in a fragrance, but I need something to balance it out. I'd rather smell like oud than food.
