I just have to tell you Kackie, my baby loves watching your videos with me. I tried putting on Bluey and he wasn't interested. I put you on he's happy. It also depends on the day. 😆

[@kackie]

AWW

[@kyleechristensen2217]

Excellent idea about Christmas. I have 5 kids and have been stressing over Christmas planning/gifts/etc. I hate spending so much time and money preparing and then it's all over in 10 minutes on Christmas morning. It actually makes me want to completely skip the entire holiday.

[@nailinthefashion]

8:48 Thank you for reminding me of my flower crown era... one day I sprinted to Michael's, ruined a hanger then became a fairy 🥂💖✨️

[@amandae7896]

I have oily skin and the blunder cover is the holy grail product I’ve been hoping for for years!

[@ChanteMarieTV]

I just have to say, I appreciate the lengthy, quality videos, Kackie! Always right on time! xx

[@maninimadia2577]

In addition to “desaturated” we need to add “shimmer goo” to the Kackie Bingo drinking game board 😊

[@kackie]

😂😂😂

[@baileyjones6081]

I wear the blunder cover in 2.25 as well. It took me a while to figure out how to apply it well. I spray a face mist directly into the pot, swirl my brush, and apply it that way. Works a treat! Your videos bring me so much joy!

[@meepmoopmeep1]

Just start wearing your flower crowns in random videos so you can show them off! They are so pretty!

[@autumnvictoria6359]

About christmas: I have an almost 7 and an 8 year old. About 5 years ago we moved away from family and we had to kind of start our own traditions. We settled on the saying “something you want, something you need, something to wear and something to read as gifts from us and then an “experience” from us. And then we do one “Santa gift”. (I Have an incredibly literal no magic exists 8 year old and a 7 year old who believes with ever fiber of his being in any and all magic). We open the Santa gift on Christmas but everything else and all the gifts people in our lives mail or drop off we spread out throughout the week. My husband almost always either works day or night shift on Christmas so an has for over a decade so it’s been weirdly nice never setting up that expectation of one day to celebrate. We do birthdays the same way. 3-4 day spread. One day celebrating with a handful of chosen friends, one experience gift and then one day to celebrate with just our family. And spread any gifts that come in the mail out and set up Skype dates with family/friends so they can watch the kids open and talk with them. For a while I kind of felt bad that my kiddos had to adjust their celebrations based on adult work life… but now I’ve grown to love and appreciate the spread out celebrating and teaching our children that it’s not all wrapped up in a single day and to be flexible.

I really wonder why bite beauty shut down , I understand that they might not have been meeting as many sales as they had in like 2016 but they were definitely still a staple at least in my mind

I was doing my makeup while listening to this and I did the neon blush trick. whoa. Love it! ❤

[@notes_to_elle8664]

Catching up with your videos. For decades now I've referred to myself as a "whimsical nihilist". It's how I cope with the constant undercurrent of bleakness. I'm pretty sure as I grow old I'll morph into something more witchy and adopt some sort of worldview that allows me to at least half believe I'll rejoin my loved ones in the afterlife. Because heck why not.

[@paulinacardiel8709]

Fantastic look! Yes, yes, yes feel yoself.

I only want balm or cream highlighters now or even just a dewy base. Not sure if it’s me getting older or my taste changing or trends changing. But I won’t go back to powders lol I used to look metallic!

[@spontaneousun]

Ahaha Kackie “chill” is my 11, you’ve got multi chrome glitter AND liner! It is a very pretty kind of tonal look, so I guess I can see the flamingo glitter chill. 😂 Whoa, two years already?! I remember when you were pregnant and it honestly does not seem that long ago at all! Happy belated birthday to Simon 🎉

Dooooo you watch Rachel Maksy? GURL, get you some. Get you some tea, coffee, wine, what have you; go watch. She rightfully won a NYX Face Award. Her vid video vault is a treasure trove!!!

Yes of COURSE! Did you see her Halloween post today?!

[@Jackie-is5kp]

Lol about Hanukkah! Yep that was me growing up until I was 10 and was like wait this sucks I don’t want to wait. I want all the gift like my friends on one special day. Enjoy your boy and do what works for y’all. Hugs from Tampa

May I ask which products did you used on your eyebrows? How soon are you able to receive products when you order from beautybay?

I am a sock connesuer and can confirm bombas socks are amazing. I never considered my privilage being married to a poweful Virgo. They fastidiously pair all the socks and insist on showing me which ones have been orphaned. Last time they counted how many pairs were mine compared to theirs: 29 to 6. 😅

[@BeautyByAge]

What is the spray your using at the beginning?

[@piinkislovexo]

Hi Kackie, I've gotten SO many of my favorite products from your recommendations!! I'm debating on getting the Bubble cream and powder blushes from Persona orrrr the Makeup by Mario bright pink cream and powder blush, what's your opinion between the two?

[@kackie]

You mean Patrick Ta?

[@piinkislovexo]

@@kackie Ah no sorry if my wording was confusing :) I meant the MBM Soft Blush Stick and his Soft Pop Powder blush formulas in comparison to the Persona ones! Thanks so much for even responding

[@Akira-fc3qp]

Kackie, I am just waiting for my Blunder Cover to arrive in the mail and I could not be any more excited after watching your wonderful video. Just fyi, sorry if you already got a gazillion messages on this but your channel url is not working 😯 And, I just discovered you and you are amaaaaazing 🤩

[@ellelovescats3]

Im not sure about there being a limited number of different shifts ... Clionadh stained glass collection has a very wide range of multichromes with one that even shifts a full rainbow I believe. But it's definitely true that most companies stick to green/purple, pink/ orange, purple /blue etc. I'd love your opinion on Clionadh multichromes or even a video on the best/ easiest to use multichromes.

[@kackie]

I guess my point is you can match them up across formulas and treat them as a tonal look. Multichromes can be intimidating and I'm trying to make them easier to understand.

[@brittagroh9509]

I think when someone mentioned travel makeup they might be referring to what you would take in a carryon bag constraining you to the 3-1-1 liquids rule. I am going to a wedding in two weeks and am only bringing a carry on. It's definitely going to be a challenge for what makeup and skincare to bring.

[@ingridsandberg4545]

I love that you answered my chaotic Aries Sun/Aries Moon/Cancer Rising questions. Loved hearing about how you want to build family holiday traditions! P.S. I almost like Tower28’s lip gloss formula enough to ignore my rosemary allergy and deal with the ‘spicy’ feeling that it leaves. Send help. And dupes? 😉

[@kackie]

Hahahaha awww okay umm flower beauty has some that are really similar I think?

Will you have a Google Sheet with the links? We could search the sheet for things from videos from months previously.

Thank you 👏🌟👍🏻🤗😂😉🌸😘

[@jenniferleal8726]

I do the same thing with gifts. I save them and give it to them over the course over a few weeks. You can only get away with that for so long. When they get to an age that they understand that everyone gave them a gift then they wonder where they all went. They get way to many things all at once and then bother you to open all the stuff and put everything together.

[@sparkles.and.things]

I really wish your videos had captions on them when they went live. 😭 I’ve noticed most channels have auto-generated captions ready right when their videos go up, so I’m wondering if there’s something you can do on your end to make them available sooner?

[@kackie]

No idea. It might be because they wait longer after uploading to set the video live? I do everything as quickly as I can. I'm Sorry 😢

[@sparkles.and.things]

@@kackie Ahh, that could be it, that makes sense. I can’t really watch without them, but I’m always excited to watch your videos once captions show up! ❤

[@juliascamp2175]

The word “aesthetic” just takes me back to Tumblr when it was really awesome and I don’t think Gen Z ever lived there at that time. I feel like all of the platforms are trying to be what Tumblr was (except now apparently it has to be all videos instead of photos)…I think I started using Pinterest as my Tumblr replacement.

Thank you for teaching me a new term: "default christian" (everyone in my family). Growing up (and still stuck) in the bible belt, christianity was shoved up my butt. And I hate posers, go to church on Sundays, curse on Mondays type... I think it's fine to be religious if you don't treat people who aren't badly and bombard people with it. I've realized all religions are very cult-like and hateful though. In christianity Job was a big one that made me see that as well... it's all like "worship me or f off" and I hate it to death. I'm very disgusted by the fact baptist christianity says the unbaptized (including babies and other innocent people) and people born before the age of christ go straight to hell when they die. Disgusting... there's a lot more sick things in the bible but that was unbelievable. Like Barney Greenway's (Napalm Death) tattoo says: "religion? No thanks". I'm quite a bit of a nihilist as well.

[@unnatural_beauty]

Keep ALL the “weird.” Please & thank you. 😘

[@dotiiification]

I'm sorry to be the party pooper but I find it incredibly tone-deaf as a woman in your situation to tell people to not "take life so seriously" when kids are being bombed at playgrounds while you share your latest luxury acquisitions. I know I shouldn't expect anything deeper when watching make-up videos but it's not very consistent when you dive into other less superficial topics like bashing other people's religions. I'm sorry you seem to have had a negative experience at church or something but I'm a little put off by the life lessons you draw from it.
