Thanks for all the feedback guys - will definitely get round to filming a fashion and skincare version of this at some point. Here's an idea - would you guys like to see a home interiors version of this too? When we first got our flat we had no furniture (None! Na-dah!) and we had to start from scratch and work out what to splurge on and where to cut back. Is that of interest to you? xx
Please do more like this! Your videos are so helpful, and I love how you remain down to earth when you talk about high end products! Loving your channel!! Xx
Kingdom of Tides I totally agree! I didn't think I'd ever stray from Urban Decay but wouldn't buy anything other than H & M now. Their eyeshadow is very good too. Long lasting and great value.
Haha! I'm not sure I've got the grit for daily videos in me - quality over quantity and all that ;) BUT there is some really, really fun stuff coming up in April *cough* Coachella *cough* New York with Mark *cough* - expect plenty of vlogs and travel content! x
I'm also not a blush type of a girl but recently I found that sometimes I look really washed-out because of no colour on my cheeks so I decided on trying some cream blush (thought it'll be more natural) from drugstore for start and I love it! And Cocoa Blend Palette from Zoeva is also my favourite :)
Even though I shop exclusively on the High Street, I still agree that it's a good idea to spend a tiny bit more on base products and skimp on the mascara! Loved this x
Anna- I think you are totally spot on but ... I have 2 highstreet recommendations that might be up your alley. NYX has an eyeshadow primer called Proof It - It is the closest thing I have ever found to the Nars proprime smudgeproof eyeshadow base. Available from Asos here in AustraliaAlso- Max Factor Excess Shimmer cream eyeshadows have been around a few years now and seem to have fallen off the Radar but I LOVE Copper & I think Bronze would be your cup of tea. Texture wise they are similar to the Tilbury ones. Highly recommend.
JADE LEES Thanks for the NYX recommendation, I'm gonna try it out! The Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows are fantastic too and one of the shades is a dupe for the MAC groundwork paint pot 👍🏻
Kind of on this topic, I would love to see an updated sort of starter makeup kit. You did one of those ages ago and I think it would be fun to see an update. Many one for 2 or 3 different budgets?
Love this Anna ❤🙏 Please do more for fashion , interiors , skin care, accessories etc . Also more anti hauls please . We all need it . Our purse needs it 😬
You NEED to try the EX1 Invisiwear foundation! It's £12.50 (I get mine from Topshop in Oxford Circus). It's high/medium coverage and photographs beautifully. I reckon it would suit your skin-type because any foundation you've recommended has suited my skin very well too! 😊
If you love creamy eyeshadows the By Terry shadow sticks are great. They glide on, blend well then set and stay put but retain that lovely creamy sheen. Perfect for that one colour all over the lid 👌🏼 Loved this format of video Anna. Would love to see one for skin care please.
Really loved this, I always finish your videos with yet more recommendations to add to my wishlist! Would absolutely adore skincare and fashion versions, and the home version that you've mentioned - like candles, bedding, furniture etc :) that'd be so interesting as I love your taste in interiors! x
YES to the skincare and fashion vids! Loved this one. Ps, I'm looking to streamline my lipstick collection. I would love to see a guide for the only lip products you need! Thanks Anna XO
Thanks for your reply Katie it really cleared up things for me. And my apologies for not understanding where you were coming from. I just see a lot of comments where people will point out the limited shades for people with pale skin and say it's the same as racism experienced by people of colour which can be really hurtful because it ignores the experiences of people of colour when it comes to representation. I thought that's what you were originally trying to say but I know that's not true now. Hope you're having a great day
Kiran Hussain I'm glad we were able to just talk and explain ourselves without either one just jumping to conclusions and getting angry. I hope you're having a great day too :)
Loved this video well done Anna!!! Completely agree about not needing to spend a bomb on powder eyeshadows Zoeva really are the best! Please do a skincare and fashion version too!🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So glad I watch this video. You've been my human-online foundation matcher for a while now. I also wear shade 4 in Luminous Silk & I'm about to buy the Power Fabric. I had heard the shades are not the same & I was going to purchase it its 3.75 based on eyeballing it on another video, but shade 4 in PF looks like a good match for you in the video, & since I'm the same shade as you in several other foundations as well. I better go with 4. Thanks for another great video P.S. know that our hearts are heavy for England tonight.
Anna, love this video! Regarding eyeshadow bases/primers: have you ever tried the ARTDECO 3in1 eye primer or eyeshadow base? Both are amazing products and worth a go.
Best high coverage drugstore foundation HAS to be Revlon Colorstay! I've never tried the Armani ones but I've tried many high end ones including Doublewear and Lancome's Teint Idole Ultra, but nothing beats Revlon for me. The shade selection is pretty pants though!
Please do the same for skincare and fashion please! Everytime I need to buy something, I always wonder should I go for the high-end ones and then I would google for your blog post on this same topic. You are so much help!
What is it that people have on high street mascaras? I've tried plenty and I have not found one that would be as good as Bobbi brown mascaras... worth every penny 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Loved the video, Anna! Could you show us your updated makeup capsule collection? Been meaning to start one myself but it gets overwhelming sometimes, as silly as that sounds 😂
The brand W7 can have some really good bargains as it's a super affordable brand. Their eyeshadow palettes (copying the urban decay naked shadows) have really great pay off and last well. The lightest nude colour works great as a base shadow and I use a colour called chocolate to fill in my brows as it's a perfect ashy brown colour. Worth having a look! Awesome video xoxo
These types of "helpful to everyone" videos will take your channel to a different & better direction as viewers will know that your opinions are always genuine . I mean new viewers . Much love 😍😍😍😍
Have you tried either the serum or full coverage foundations by The Ordinary? They're like $7 and supposedly outstanding (still on the waiting list here in the states).
Hi Anna, speaking of mascara, my favorite everyday mascara is a English one : natural collection water guard mascara, only 1,99 and in my opinion better than the one I just to buy at the pharmacy, i order it online on the international boots website, because i can buy it in Belgium. Did you already tried the boots mascara?
For cream eye shadows - Colourpop provides an amazing product! Totally comparable to Chanel ones. You get a massive colour range that they update pretty often, and even though many of the colours are too sparkly or glittery you can still find so many great ones for a daily wear. Plus, the buttery formula doesn't budge :)
Thanks for all the feedback guys - will definitely get round to filming a fashion and skincare version of this at some point.

yes please!!!
home interiors would be so fun and interesting!
The Anna Edit Definitely! You have such great taste; that would be wonderful.
Yes, yes and yes :D
YEEEES! I'm even thinking of a food one...
OMG YES PLEASE PLEASE DO THE SAME FOR SKINCARE AND FASHION!!! 😍💗
YES! Skin care would be great! I'm looking for a new eye cream!
Carina Chung Bobbi Brown Extra repair eyecream is my holy grail!
Message received! Will get on it ;) xx
yeah especially skin care cos I need help! x
Yes and if she manages to find good skincare from L'Oréal, olay, ponds, garnier I'll be so happy!
Fashion, please! Would be interested in your opinion and brands you think are worth spending on.
Greetings from Germany!
loved this video-- would definitely like to see a skincare version of this too!
Thank you! Might have to get Caroline Hirons on board for that one ;) x
YES, THE HIRONS
sameeeeee x
Loved this Anna! Would love to see a skincare version
Would love to see this about fashion, and your investment pieces!
Please do more like this! Your videos are so helpful, and I love how you remain down to earth when you talk about high end products! Loving your channel!! Xx
Anna,
You are my favorite of all the beauty bloggers! Thanks for all the great tips!
I totally agree with your picks! I would add the H&M gel eyeliners, I prefer them to the Urban Decay 24/7 glide on ones. They never budge!
Kingdom of Tides I totally agree! I didn't think I'd ever stray from Urban Decay but wouldn't buy anything other than H & M now. Their eyeshadow is very good too. Long lasting and great value.
OMG I love them!!! Best eyeliners I've ever used and the colour range is pretty good too! x
Amazing idea! Can't wait to see a skincare and fashion version xxx
One for skincare please! X
please do more in this series!!! i totally agree with everything you said! love this idea Anna! xxx
Petition for daily videos for everyday of April 🙋💕
Haha! I'm not sure I've got the grit for daily videos in me - quality over quantity and all that ;) BUT there is some really, really fun stuff coming up in April *cough* Coachella *cough* New York with Mark *cough* - expect plenty of vlogs and travel content! x
yaaaay love your vlogs! x
I absolutely loved this video please do more of these!!!! also i just love your videos in general and your blog!!
I am obsessed with Zoeva's brushes! They do such an amazing job. Ive had mine for years and they still look brand new almost!
loved this, anna. would love to see this series for skincare and fashion! xx
I'm also not a blush type of a girl but recently I found that sometimes I look really washed-out because of no colour on my cheeks so I decided on trying some cream blush (thought it'll be more natural) from drugstore for start and I love it! And Cocoa Blend Palette from Zoeva is also my favourite :)
This was fantastic! Thank-you so much for putting this together, I loved it and it helped alot! 💖💖💖 please do a skin care version!!!
Thank you for this Anna! Helpful and enjoyable to watch!
Such a great video concept!!💜
Please do it for fashion too! x
Even though I shop exclusively on the High Street, I still agree that it's a good idea to spend a tiny bit more on base products and skimp on the mascara! Loved this x
This was such a helpful video for a makeup beginner like me :) Would love to see more in this series!
Yes to both the skincare and the fashion versions!
I find L'oreal true match quite light and undetectable but it has medium coverage at the same time!
With the exception of color options in hight street foundations I am completely with you.
Anna- I think you are totally spot on but ... I have 2 highstreet recommendations that might be up your alley. NYX has an eyeshadow primer called Proof It - It is the closest thing I have ever found to the Nars proprime smudgeproof eyeshadow base.

Texture wise they are similar to the Tilbury ones. Highly recommend.
Ooooh yes I've tried those Cream eyeshadows but I completely forgot about them! Added the NYX primer to my list - thanks! xx
JADE LEES Totally agree with you, the NYX eyelid primer has stopped me spending on high end ones!
JADE LEES Thanks for the NYX recommendation, I'm gonna try it out! The Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadows are fantastic too and one of the shades is a dupe for the MAC groundwork paint pot 👍🏻
Kind of on this topic, I would love to see an updated sort of starter makeup kit. You did one of those ages ago and I think it would be fun to see an update. Many one for 2 or 3 different budgets?
This is massively handy being on budget with maternity leave. Would love to see more. Keep up being lovely x
So agree on the Nars Eyeshadow Primer! Nothing beats it. Would love to see a fashion version of this! Xx
Loved the video, but also loving the comments! So many good recommendations from everyone.
I loved this video! I really hope to see a skincare version of this.
Love this Anna ❤🙏 Please do more for fashion , interiors , skin care, accessories etc . Also more anti hauls please . We all need it . Our purse needs it 😬

Adele uses that! x

Loved this spend/save video, I would love to see skincare and fashion one too x

Would absolutely adore skincare and fashion versions, and the home version that you've mentioned - like candles, bedding, furniture etc :) that'd be so interesting as I love your taste in interiors! x
Definitely do skincare and fashion! This would be a great series.
really helpful! you should create a mini series and include fashion and skincare! x
YES to the skincare and fashion vids! Loved this one. Ps, I'm looking to streamline my lipstick collection. I would love to see a guide for the only lip products you need! Thanks Anna XO
YES ANNA PLEASE DO THIS FOR SKINCARE! also I'm really grateful for your advice and your videos. thank you! LOTS OF LOVE FROM INDIA!
Great tips! Will definitely keep them in mind when buying new makeup. :) Would love a video on skincare and fashion!
Hi Anna love the video ! I think a serie like that would be great ! I was wondering what nail polish are you wearing ? I love the colour !
This shirt is Life! I love it
I disagree; I think any type of foundation is better high end, purely because of the colour selection is awful for women of colour on the high street
Nads I also have to buy high end foundations because I'm too pale for any in the drugstore
Thanks for your reply Katie it really cleared up things for me. And my apologies for not understanding where you were coming from.

I couldn't have said it better myself
Kiran Hussain I'm glad we were able to just talk and explain ourselves without either one just jumping to conclusions and getting angry. I hope you're having a great day too :)
I'm glad we were able to sort it out too and thank you!
Skincare please! Should I buy the $$$ Cream?

Such a unique, informative video! A skincare version would be brilliant too ☺️
I have just found your channel and I love it! Subscribed! ❤️✨

I love that cushion from L'oreal, I use it on day off and Power Fabric it's just great when I need perfect makeup for whole day.
Please do the same for skincare and fashion please! Everytime I need to buy something, I always wonder should I go for the high-end ones and then I would google for your blog post on this same topic. You are so much help!
I adore those Channel shadow pots!! But with Coulour Pop creme shadows I can get so many more!
I love the Wake Me Up foundation from Rimmel.
Would love to see you do one of these types of videos for Skincare/Body care!!!
Great video! I always love watching you
Awesome Anna!💕💕💕
Yes, please do a skincare version 👍🏻

I'm not usually one to comment, but I really enjoyed this new video and would love to see a series with skincare, fashion and maybe even homeware? ☺
For light/medium coverage foundation, I love Garnier's BB Cream. And for fuller coverage, my fave is Lancome. :)
Have you tried either the serum or full coverage foundations by The Ordinary? They're like $7 and supposedly outstanding (still on the waiting list here in the states).
Love this Anna - could you do this for skincare pleeeeeaaase?
The Milano eyeshadow primer is the bomb.
Thank you! Great tips~Must try that Loreal Lumi Cushion~You are so pretty and natural looking~
Brilliant!!! Please dona video about skincare where to spend on high end and where to spend on drugstore ❤❤❤
I would love to see this for healthy lifestyle/ exercise items!
