It is rare to hear influencers acknowledge or discuss where products are made. It is something I am very cognizant of, and it informs my purchasing decisions, so it is refreshing to hear about it here . This is another reason why I loved your brand.

Many luxury items are made in Italy and some in USA. Mid level in USA and less expensive in China and Taiwan. Korea is taking off with their K Beauty and surpassing USA almost for some beauty items. Canada has a couple labs too and they're mid to luxury level. Poland also does great work- would say mid level.

I think it's because many influencers are not as aware as we would like to believe they are, and if they get to the level of them having their own brand then they've started doing content to preserve their income - not be completely upfront anymore, but that is just what I have witnessed from different influencers over the years and my opinion could definitely be debated.

I have sensitive eyes specifically when it comes to mascara, and high end does make a difference, unfortunately. I tried some of Tati's recommendations for drugstore options and hated them 😓 I already have long eyelashes, so they should've worked. I actually think Stila's Magnum XXX is highly underrated and doesn't deserve the poor review on ULTA.

Hot take, just being honest: almost no high end makeup products I've tried are truly worth the money for me. Are some of them noticeably better than their cheaper counterparts? Yes. But does that difference add enough value to my life to be worth the extra expense? No. That's just me though, and I understand that others have different makeup needs, standards, and care more about luxurious packaging than I do.

Marlena, this video series is everything we need, especially right now! Here are a few interesting ideas to educate us on: 1) how a formula's ingredients are chosen (binders, moisture, thickeners, preservatives, etc) 2) how to tell what products may share manufacturers/be private labeled or the differences between in-house, ODM, OEM etc 3) how can you tell if a disappointing product is intentionally what the brand wanted (so just preference) vs actually being poor quality? Can't wait to see what 2023 has in store for you 🥰

In regards to lip pencils, I have tiny lips so a good lip pencil really matters and makes a difference to me. It’s not just texture and lasting power but the shade is probably the most important if you are after that natural look. I’ve used urban decay, Lisa Eldridge, Mac, Vieve but my recent discovery is the NYX pencil, they have fantastic shades that match my lips perfectly and wear a decent amount of time, I’m picking these over all my others. Natural shades are, Natural, nude beige, truffle and spice. Perfect pencils for just £4.

They have great products from foundation to blush to lipstick and have a great shade range and they cater to ALL skin tones because most are Black-owned. And Black people know what it feels to be left out so we don't do that to others. I would love to see you review high-end and drugstore Black-owned brands from Danessa Myricks to Beauty Bakerie, Mented, and The Lip Bar, just to name a few.

Marlena still such a beautiful soul. Definitely would love to have more in this series and you're absolutely right about Natasha Denona's 28 pan palettes. She originally was teaching color theory and offering those palettes for her students before she was more mainstream in 2016 and as demand grew, she rolled out the midi size. Learned that through Alicia Archer (formerly Kinkysweat). Any make-up history actually would be interesting to me of just how things have evolved from conceptualization to fruition and eventually the closing of Makeup Geek what has changed, what do you wish changed, what do hope to see change?

Did you ever get a response to this question. I keep my makeup until i don’t want it anymore, I’m the only one that uses it. I would really like to hear her take on it her honest opinion. Can you believe if all of these Instagram people throw out all the makeup every two years or every three years how many makeup pallets are in the dump, they have thousands of products.🤷‍♀️

its says on the product it has a pic of a jar and a number next to it that is the shelf life after opening - 🫙12 -means 1 year

robert welsh has videos/has talked about this. look at the little jar icon on each makeup product and try to use them up in accordance with that. however, for makeup, those tend to be just guidelines. for example, i don’t know anyone who’s going through an entire eyeshadow palette in a year. so, powder products can generally be kept for longer than their expiry; as long as they’re not changing in smell, colour, function, causing adverse skin effects etc. while cream and liquid products you should try to use within a shorter timespan than powder ones
