This is the first video of yours I’ve seen and it was so helpful! Becky from The Try Guys/You Can Sit With Us is a big Kosas fan and I loved how their products looked on her skin, so I purchased their kit with the lip oil in Dip (most excited about that one!), eyeshadow in Globe and the Melon duo. I was thinking about the skin tint but after your review I think I’ll save the money and only grab the lip stick, I love the color of Vegas and seeing it on you it’s gorgeous! Thanks Carson, new subscriber here! 💞
Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I can't stand the kosas face oil! I'm always shocked when beauty influencers adore it and use it all the time. Thank you for sharing your experience with it! I can lean dry, but typically more normal, sometimes a little oily in the t-zone, and it looks exactly like how it does on your skin. Picks up on pores, peach fuzz, dry patches, etc... also doesn't dry down! So it feels heavy and gunky moving around all day. I was so excited for it but I think I will have much better luck with the Ilia tinted spf. The texture looks gorgeous! As for the concealer, I love it but wish they had more shades- I can't find one that matches me just really really warm (and I lean more warm/olive!). I really enjoyed the mascara - no problem with flaking but it flakes terribly on you! I prefer the ilia one more. I really want to try the bronzer, just unsure if I should buy medium or light? I love the jellyfish lip oil, but wish the packaging was refillable because I go through it so fast and it seems chunky wasteful!
The ilia tinted spf is absolutely one of my favorite products, the packaging exploded on me (leaked out everywhere) so I went through it faster than I would’ve liked it. Be super careful when you get it!! I’m so glad the mascara works for you! I find that to be a miracle? Haha. For bronzer - I recommend going lighter so that you can have a natural warm glow that can easily be built up. But it is very light so if you’re deeper than me medium might be your best best. And I feel you on the lip oil, let’s be honest, all lip gloss packaging is chunky and wasteful and too small to be recycled. If you’re very concerned about this, I recommend enjoying whatever gloss you love, then sending them to terra cycle. I don’t know the exact process, but they’re a for-profit company that promises to recycle whatever you throw at them. I hope this helps! Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment.
After shaking you need literally 5 drops for your whole face and blend out. As someone with oily but textured skin from breakouts, believe me, you can make it work but you can’t apply it in a big swipe like that like you would with typical foundation. Also, oil doesn’t always work on top of other oils so using this after already having applied oil on your skin is going to cause piling and your skin tint to separate
Wow thank you so much Artie 🙏🏻 It took me two weeks to get this video together after weeks of putting out 3 videos/week. Your encouragement means so much ❤️
i was really looking forward to this review as soon as i saw you post about it on IG, because just a day or so before i had been looking at their products wondering if i should go for them! so glad you gave such an in-depth review. the lip glosses look amazing and i'm definitely still interested in the foundation, but feel like i should sample it in-stores before purchasing.
I fully agree w sampling first. A lot comments on this video have been helpful too: ppl have been saying it’s one of the strangest products they own, sometimes it’s perfect on the skin and in colder months it’s a nightmare, etc. Definitely test it! Lmk how it goes. I’m so happy I could help in any way!
I love your skin after you made the switch and went with the Skin Dew 💖 The Kosas was definitely just NOT working, and I had the exact same experience with it where it picked-up mysterious dry patches on my skin I didn’t even know I had! Looking on social media though I felt like I was the only one with this issue, as most reviews were so positive of this product/brand. For this reason I’ve been holding off on their concealer and mascara, because I couldn’t trust these reviews and was hoping to find someone whose skin has the same issues with Kosas as mine does. I’m glad I found this video and your channel! Regarding the concealer, it seems like you were fairly lukewarm about it overall, and I grew concerned when you said it has a “powdery” finish (generally I avoid “powdery” and matte finishes as they look dry and unnatural on my skin). Do you have a video with your best current concealer recommendations? A natural finish and light-to-medium coverage is all I need, but I’m open to all of your suggestions 🙂
Yay Carla! I’m so glad I could help in anyway. I think you’d be obsessed with the Beautycounter concealer, although there aren’t a lot of color options (found here: bit.ly/2WrqG2G ) or the ilia concealer which has a lot more shades and is also moisturizing with a great finish and medium coverage (found here: bit.ly/3hDqgNA ). I hope this is helpful! Obsessed with both of those formulas and you can’t go wrong ✨
That tinted face oil pilled on me like crazy-ugh. It seemed like it was not ok with whatever I had on underneath, but no thank you. I love the lipstick (I have rosewater and stardust-I think the latter would also look lovely on you). Now I want globe! Is it glittery at all? By the way, thank you so much for saving me $26 bucks on the mascara-I had such high hopes!
Joanna Yas I will say, some people love the mascara with no flaking. But your safest bet is to go with the ilia mascara. It’s my die hard favorite as your already know! Globe is more shimmery than glitter. I hope this helps ✨
@@commedecarson Thanks so much! I tend to lean toward tubing mascara-right now my faves are the Thrive and Em Cosmetics-but I *love* mascara in general and am always open to try good clean ones like the Ilia, which sounds amazing (and looks gorgeous on you!)❤️
I recently found your channel. I love what I've used so far from Kosas.The deoderant is okay. I haven't found a natural one that's worked for me yet. I have oily skin and love the foundation. I use Cosrx skincare and my skin is very smooth. If it wasn't I can see how it wouldn't work. I love the lip oils. They're better than any lipbalm I've used. The bronzer is also beautiful.
Wow thank you for this feedback ! I’m so glad the foundation works for you too, it’s definitely a unique product. I’m glad you’re here ! Thank you for your comment ✨
Yay !! Coming up is a full face of Vapour, exa beauty review and tower 28 milky lip gloss ! If there’s anything on your radar please by all means leave a comment or send a DM to @commedecarson ! Thanks again ✨
@@commedecarson I'm new to clean beauty. But, I will definitely let you know if I see anything. I am interested in Tower 28 lip products. I've been wondering if they are as moisturizing as the Kosas glosses. And thank you for all of the hard work and time. Robin
Have you tried Type A deodorant. It's the only clean one that works for me while hiking because it's "sweat activated" which seems to me makes it more effective when you're working out, rather than getting less effective. It's at BBB and credo. Might be worth a try.
I had the SAME issue when I tried Ilia’s tinted oil and returned it ASAP. Made me think that I must just have skin with an unusually crappy texture. Nope. Thanks for sharing!
Haha! Did you mean Kosas? Yeah this stuff is either a major win or major loss. I know people who swear by it and I believe them. They’re angels with angel skin, that’s all.
I’ve tried it without dimethicone before and had a similar reaction anyway! But will keep this in mind and try again and report back to this video if anything changes. Kosas watched this video and didn’t mention a prob w the cicaplast too
Kosas face oil is the strangest product I have. I have normal skin. In summer it looks flawless I don't have any complaints. But when I tried to use it in winter, oh boy :) I have never seen my nose with that much texture.
Victoria I’d be curious to see the color ! It could be possible if you layered it on top of lipstick or foundation/concealer (on your lips) it could’ve picked up the pigment? Mine will look a little more pink overtime, but only slightly. It sounds like it’s picking up foundation pigment, if this is true lmk! To fix would be to make a note to wipe your lips before applying lip gloss. ✨✨

I haven't tried much from Kosas cause for some reason I'm not entirely convinced I'll like the products, lol. Thanks for reviewing!!
Their lip products are one of the best 😍 i didn’t realize their lipsticks was their first product 🤯 AMAZING!
Obsessed 🙏🏻

Megan Alexis oh ! Really interesting point! I’ll test that out. Thanks

satisfying concealer application for the win!!
Here to please and bring the satisfying makeup when possible 🙏🏻

Omg Carson!! You know you sound like? Janice from mean girls lol I loooove it !!!
hahahahahahahah omg I laughed so hard when you zoomed in on the tinted face oil. I had the same experience.
Nightmare disaster zone
I had the SAME issue when I tried Ilia’s tinted oil and returned it ASAP. Made me think that I must just have skin with an unusually crappy texture. Nope. Thanks for sharing!
Haha! Did you mean Kosas? Yeah this stuff is either a major win or major loss. I know people who swear by it and I believe them. They’re angels with angel skin, that’s all.
@@commedecarson It was Ilia’s. I assume that Kosas is pretty similar. ‘Angel skin’, lol!!! So true!
I feel you on that chunky highlight.....like is it bad?? I just tossed a few sadly bc of that.
I think that the formula is fairly precious and not able to handle heat and shipping. Idk. It gets chonky ! I feel you.
I think it may be the dimethicone in your cicaplast baume reacting with the oil in the skin tint.
I’ve tried it without dimethicone before and had a similar reaction anyway! But will keep this in mind and try again and report back to this video if anything changes. Kosas watched this video and didn’t mention a prob w the cicaplast too
OOPS! Or the Quinoa one? What tone then?
I’m in the middle of watching this and WAAAAT IS WITH THE TINTED OIL 😰 okay .. back to watching hahaha
Hahaha. You are the one person I know who looks SO BEAUTIFUL in the tinted face oil. ❤️
Kosas face oil is the strangest product I have. I have normal skin. In summer it looks flawless I don't have any complaints. But when I tried to use it in winter, oh boy :) I have never seen my nose with that much texture.
D Waring hahaha i feel that so much !! I feel like I’m far too dry for the stuff. Thank you for your feedback!
My Jellyfish lip oil completely changed colour to an opaque yellow-beige within 2 months, was wondering if anyone else had the same thing happen?
Victoria I’d be curious to see the color ! It could be possible if you layered it on top of lipstick or foundation/concealer (on your lips) it could’ve picked up the pigment?
