Why do these brands make these TINY products? Especially sunscreens where you have to use so much to get adequate protection. And then to charge $30+ for It?! I can’t.
Also, that inkey list cleanser reminds me of the Laroche possay Lipkar wash, which I use on face and body. It has that exact texture, and looks very similar in terms of the silky, non-bubbly lather it produces. At least from just looking at it, they seem similar to me.
for the FIRST TIME someone said this....ugghhh!! why are suncreens so expensive and comes in only 50ml bottle while cleansers and moisturisers come in large quantities...the most important step of skincare, the spf comes in tiny bottles which are supposed to be used atleast two to three times a day and not only on our face but neck, hands etc too!!
Kinza Hayat YES! It’s so hard to trust a brand that does this because it’s obvious that they want you to repurchase it more quickly. Those decisions aren’t made by accident.
I think that's because once you open a sunscreen you're not supposed to use it for a long time, they expire quite quickly. But anyway, I don't think it's ok to charge so much for such a tiny amount of product. So I'm ok with facial sunscreens being sold in tiny packages, but I'm not buying the expensive ones hahaha
I like the way you say “someone at fenty has been working hard” because yes Omg so many people just credit Rihanna whether the launches are good or bad but it really is the scientists in the back hired by the brand making the moves & it’s nice to think about it in terms of “oh the team in charge of this brand has been doing better” as opposed to writing off brands entirely due to a bad launch (I lowkey feel like people like jaclyn hill made me forget that makeup/skincare isn’t the invention of one singular person lol)
Are you trying to say that Jaclyn Hill is the sole person behind her brand and products?? Because that literally just contradicted everything you said prior to the parentheses. 🤔
I'm actually looking for someone to try Jeffree's line out of curiosity more than anything. Also, the Summer Friday's serum sounds a lot like the Purito Centella Unscented Serum that has Niancinamide, ceramides and peptides. Definitely my favourite most underrated skin barrier repair serum.
@Marian Hawke thanks for sharing! I used to love some of his makeup products but then stopped buying but my curiosity got me wondering if I should spend again. I also tend to have very sensitive and dry eyes so that might be something for me (although I don't invest much on eye creams). I'll add it to the "maybe" list nonetheless. Thanks 😊
Using sunscreen ingredients that are only available in the US is a bad thing, not a good thing because the US is severely limiting the kinds of sunscreen ingredients that are approved. Amazing how glow recipe turned the marketing on that around and made that sound like a good thing, lol
@@kkstars369 there's lots of good sunscreen filters that are approved and used in Asia, Australia and Europe that protect against the sun in a more stable and broad spectrum way that are also way more tolerated on the skin. But the US is being archaic here. Check out Dr. Dray's sunscreen videos on TH-cam if you're interested. :)
But it is a good thing. If all you’re interested in is the “best” product, then I guess it’s a bad thing. But if what you’re interested in is a sunscreen that can be widely available in the US (so that more people use it) and which tries to balance being high quality with being FDA approved (and if you don’t know what you’re doing with sunscreen or any medicalised skincare product, FDA approval is something to look for) then it’s a good thing. It’s not just about making skincare for the people who have the time, money and energy to seek out products from an international market and import them. It’s also about making quality skincare available for the average person.
Honestly as FAR as J* skin cares line goes and your opinions- it doesnt hurt to share your own reasons because they might mirror others and its honestly really important to have those discussions. Cuz sometimes it's definitely harder for people to seperate a person from a product and vice versa and you've always brought a very educational air to those discussions and have helped myself and many others learn to purchase morally and ethically
hmmmm I had to think on this for a little bit, but if apologies were made/offered and/or accepted, then it may be best to leave the past in 'the past', I cannot really see how it would be of benefit to the lovely you, Cassandra. I thought your edited review was very neutral and non-biased so you played it perfectly ... as my mum would say 'don't poke the dog' (it's an Irish thing).
I have been thinking about this. I have not purchased anything from Jeffree Starr as of yet. I started subbing to beauty channels a little less than a year ago, it was when Jeffree left L.A. for Wyoming, and apologized for past behavior. I heard he was controversial but since I came along, Jeffree has neither started, nor been involved in, any controversy. He seems to be a very nice man and is really trying to make amends. With that being said, Jeffree has only been gone approximately a year, and I do not believe that is a long-enough amount of time for anyone to really change. I really want to do my due diligence regarding where my hard-earned money is spent, and do not want to support bad people, so I think you should tell us. However, if it is going to cause you any harm, please do not.
Not being sycophantic but I’m so depressed about my life in general and YOU YOU YOU have cheered me up. I hope you’re as happy in your skin as you appear. I love love love the quality of your content. STAY BLESSED X MUCH LOVE XX 💋🐶👏☮️🇬🇧
Indian skincare brands: 1.himalya (their neem facewash is in every household) 2.biotique 3. plum skincare (their most famous product is their green tea toner) 4. minimalist (knock off of ordinary but they have acknowledged it and are trying to make some original stuff) 5. kaama ayurveda 6. mamaearth (lots of sponsoships..and their launches are so frequent) 7.LAKMÉ SUN EXPERT SPF 50 PA+++ ULTRA MATTE LOTION
1. Biotique and Himalaya is literal trash in the name of natural and ayurvedic 2.plum actually launched better products I'm obsessing over their ginseng amla hair oil and niacinamide in fermented rice water serum 3. We stan be minimalist cuz they've now gone out of their way to prove their distinct identity and I'm glad I can enjoy TO experience without having to worry about custom and other tax. Their sunscreens are amazing! 5. Kaama might have decent products in the name of ayurveda but most of their products will only work on unproblematic skin, if you have medically diagnosed acne or stubborn melasma it's overhyped. 6. Absolutely hate mama earth and don't even get me started on lakme and their migraine inducing fragrance.
Why did you only list these brands? We have some great brands with good formulations that actually work. - Sugandha -Dr Sheth's -Deconstruct -Over Dermis -Pilgrim -The Formula Rx -Re’equil -Conscious Chemist -The Derma Co.
Please do not recommend any influencer biotique and Himalaya. You are literally insulting legit Indian skincare brands by talking about these below average brands. They are cheap that's why people buy them. It's affordable and easier on pocket and only good for those people who don't have any severe skin conditions..good only for young beginners.
Ah man I really wanted to try the glow recipe sunscreen but I HATE when products pill. That's part of the reason I had to stop using the ordinary niacinamide serum. It would be really hard to top the Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel though, it has everything I could want in it (including the niacinamide) & makes my skin look glossy and glassy and oh soooooo good, and the feel, oh the feel ❤️. Plus the price is unbeatable, I have 2 backups in my cupboard right now & will be ordering more soon lol. I wish I could slather it all over my body but the bottle is so small it would make my face jealous, if only they made a super size bottle 😂
I hate it when they pill too. I haven’t tried the Isntree yet but sounds perfect. I live in Las Vegas n have fair skin so I’m always down for a reasonably priced SPF that makes me look glassy. Thx for the recommendation ❤️✌🏼
@@jilla8503 try the neutrogena hydro boost sunscreens. They can make naturally oily skin look more on the greasy side but if you have dry skin and you pair it on top of a hydrating moisturizer, you’ll look like a glazed donut this summer.
I hate it when any product pills and rolls off the skin. I agree with you about the Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel, it's what I'm currently using and it's so good!
I had the Glow Recipe SPF for 3 weeks and I never figured out how to get it not to pill. I NEVER return things, but I returned that one and got the Black Girl Sunscreen instead
I bought Jeffree skin and it's amazing! I was kinda scared because I have very sensitive skin and I'm very critical with skincare, but my skin loves it! Although for me the packaging is TACKY!!!!
I tried it and honestly it's pretty good! My husband started using it because he thought it smells really good 🤣 It reduced a lot his problem of large pores and his nose is a lot less oily than it used to be. Currently he has the best skin he ever had, not even kidding.
The Glow Recipe was so so bad for me, I couldn't get it not to pill on me all day. I never return things, but I actually returned it and went and got the Black Girl Sunscreen moisturizing SPF and I loooove that one
The Ordinary’s anhydrous salicylic acid has been a game changer for my dry, sensitive skin. It is literally the only salicylic acid product that I can use consistently.
RE: JS, I would like to know what you earlier predicted vs what came out? Because you went hard into the fact that he would have makeup wipes? Personally the line is okay? But not earth shattering. I will most likely buy the cleansing balm later in the year because I like cleansing balms in general 😅
The make up balm is my fav. Jojoba oil made my skin soft and the fruit extract make your face slimmer as it detoxifies i use with my guasha and i have a much better jawline now
@@VashMungur Omg please don't spread false information like that. And don't give people who don't know any better unrealistic expectations....1. NO extract will make your face slimmer. 2. NO skincare product/ingredient can "detoxify" your skin....The ONLY thing that is possibly making your jawline look slimmer is the gua sha, and that is ONLY because it helps lymphatic drainage which TEMPORARILY reduces puffiness. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@cassthompson3386 there is apple extract that helps to sculpt your face. Using guasha and facial exercises together with the product makes it enhance that lifted and sculpted look even more. Use it yourself every night and you will see the difference on your face. I wrote guasha there because of course i know that skincare effect is probably 20-30 % and rest is guasha. The jojoba oil while doing the massage stimulates the blood circulation of your skin and improved your skin ability to detox easier. Idk where exactly is false information but this is MY experience. Please tell me you actually bought all his products and are judging it AFTER you tried them all or you will look really judgemental for nothing now
I want to say that I am grateful that I discovered your channel. Because since I was young, I have never been a person who took a skincare routine seriously and has suffered many consequences later. But with your informative content, my skin keeps doing better! Keep going. You have my heart and my support!
9:25 🐈⬛☕️ I love glow recipe, so of course I bought the sunscreen as soon as it came out. The first time I used it I didn’t notice the pilling just how glowing it made my skin. The second time I put it on I was going with my boyfriend to see his mom and grandparents. Not only did it pill horrendously but it made my eyes water and burn so bad I could barely take it. The burning didn’t start till we were halfway there or I would have reduced my skincare. Not cute showing up with bright red watery eyes. I started my online return on the car ride home.
Yaaay!! I never get enough of my queen's videos ! I have a special request. Can you make a video on how to layer all the different serums foe both night and day ? I think it would be really helpful for alot of us ! Thanks beautiful butterfly
love this!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and you should DEFINITELY do the Jeffrey one that you said...I feel like I am torn apart regarding Jeffrey Star and do not know exactly what to believe because there are so many stories...I feel like I trust you and would like to get more details about this ;) ps: can you make a video about powder SPF or how to re-apply SPF when wearing makeup? kisses!!!
Just keep in mind yes Jeffree star is controversial and controversy people are always gonna be put down no matter what. especially people like Jeffree star, based on their past I think people tend to forget Jeffree stars current status. if you’ve noticed he is avoiding drama he got rid of people that were causing drama if you ask me he has definitely changed
@@Meg_Sprite I just watched a vid by TheMexicanBeauty where she shows an spf setting spray!! By Supergoop! I tried the La Roche Posay one and it's nice and invisible but I know it's not so easy to find overseas (I'm in Europe) and can be a bit pricey, so I'm happy about the Supergoop one for you guys across the pond 🥰 not sure about the price but worth checking it out!
@@Valentinegore132 I agree. I understand that people have their opinions but her opinion is based off of interactions and situations from years ago. It's unfortunate that she's not willing to see the growth, it's a bit of a turn off to be honest.
I was actually very sad that the Ordinary salicylic acid was not available for so long because it worked so good for my skin and unfortunately Paula's Choice one does not at all. I'm so excited to try it again!
My favorite sunscreen is Tula's Protect and Glow. It leaves a beautiful glowy sheen without being too much or too greasy. I've not heard the best about Glow Recipes, but I really wanna try Tatcha's new one. That pricetag is insane but finding nice sunscreens is so difficult for my skin
Yes! I found his vids a year and a half ago cos they kept popping up in my recommended so finally i took the bait - and the storytelling just hooked me. I keep recommending him to everyone I know. They're the perfect thing to put on while driving
I got the Omega Cream, and so far (after much trial and error) it is the only thing that helps my little boys' winter cheeks. They get dry and bumpy in cold weather. Tried a million things, but it either doesn't do enough, or they get little pimples. The combination of that and a gentle moisturizer is the only thing that has worked. I use it under sunscreen, and it isn't magical, but it doesn't break me out.
Um, I didn't know TO's Anhydrous Salicylic Acid was hyped. As far as I could tell, many didn't like it. At least that was the case when I bought it. But, me, yeah it was the first product I've ever used that became a holy grail... And is responsible for the healthy, smooth, acne-free complexion I currently flaunt. I have combo-dry skin, especially in winter, which is when I started using the product. It was so moisturizing and really helped me combat the dry winter months. Of course, I purged from Week 2 until my 30 Day mark, and it didn't do much for my pores, but oh.em.gee did it help with my hormonal breakouts. While it is oily (its base is squalane) I found after a week or two of use it absorbed much better into my skin, and a little goes a long way. I would also apply a couple hours before putting head to pillow so that wasn't a huge concern for me. And I only used in the PM so AM + makeup application wasn't a concern. It also worked SOOOO well underneath my moisturizer. I absolutely loved it. It made my moisturizer so silky.... *chefs kiss* I did experiencing some tightness in my temple, upper cheeks and jawline about 2-3 weeks in, but that's when I incorporated Marine Hyaluronics into my routine (before the Anhydrous Solution) and that feeling went away immediately. My skin was just dehydrated, even though I was moisturized to the high heavens. That product (combined with a good cleanser and moisturizer) singlehandedly changed my skin. It changed the texture of my skin, it improved my breakouts, and it evened my skin-tone. I never knew my temples or lower jawline (near my earlobes) could be so smooth and soft. I've dealt with rough bumps for 20 years and assumed that was just my skin and it would never get better. I do attribute a lot of fhe success to the squalane itself. I learned just how wonderful it is and how much my skin just loves it. But I get that it's a deterrent for oily-skin-peeps. Now that the water-based 2% Solution is back and re-formulated, most oily-skin-peeps probably will gravitate towards that, but I'd still argue that the Anhydrous is good for everyone, especially sensitive-skin-peeps... As it was the most gentle Salicylic acid product I've ever used. Hands down wonderful. Never a single issue besides the slight dehydration (not dryness). And, too, like I said, a little goes a long way. So one doesn't need to slather it on. Just a couple drops across the face will do. Or spot treat. This formula works miracles on active breakouts. I can't count the times I dabbed on to a big ol' nasty zit, and woke up the next day to nothing or a way less inflamed and angry zit. I am the biggest cheerleader for this Anhydrous Solution. I think it's magical and I implore anyone new tto Salicylic Acid, or those who love squalane and clear skin to give this a try. To be honest, I prefer it to the new and re-formulated solution. I'm not a huge fan of TO's water-based serums. But if you are, all the power to you. One last thing: a lot of the negative comments came from people who weren't moisturizing while using this product. I get that it has squalane, but that's not enough in and of itself. The squalane in this formula acts as a carrier... To prevent the irritation and discomfort associated with SA, but is not meant to replace moisturizer. I would recommend that all people lock this solution in with a good moisturizer, even a light one, to prevent discomfort. And maybe add a good HA, too. That said, yeah, this product is a personal favourite. And I'm pretty picky and critical of hyped brands and products.
I TOTALLY BOUGHT INTO , Inky and medic8!! Like a lot🤦🏽♀️. Oh and Cay skin. I’m in love with Cay skin body oil !❤️ I Love how you explain what the ingredients are, if they’re basic or really good. I think that’s why I bought into 3 different skincare lines.
Hi Cassandra! I'd absolutely LOVE to see u making a geeky video about pH! lol haha, how important is our products' pH when it comes to layering them! pleasee
I am so curious bc in my routine I layer my products by their consistency (oily-water based, etc) BUT sometimes I see myself using a serum of pH 6 first.. and then an acid (azelaic, vitamin C, tranexamic, salycilic etc) bc the product consistency is thicker, heavier, oily or creamy, but honestly I don't know how much that affect their how they work on my skin.
hey Cassandra, I would love if you could review the outset skincare by scarlett johansson. They are getting best reviews on their websites and even some review publishers have given them full marks. I haven't seen a single review video from anyone. Just simply because it is a celeb skincare. people tend to underestimate. I am believing that brand bze she has been developing since 5 years and they have eliminated 2700 harmful ingredients, so it's totally clean. people with acne have seen great results in 1 week. so could you please review it??
9:22 was where the mysterious cat was found 🐱. Live your channel ❤️ and hope some day I can get the dermalogica acne retinol oil cause I bet that would work so well with me!
Hi!!! I love your videos Cassandra! I struggle with body acne and hyperpigmentation (something my face doesn’t weirdly) on my body. Id love to see you try and look into body skin care! So much body skin care is often loaded with fragrances and rarely has serums or toners for it, again love your videos🦋
The ordinary quietly added witch hazel to their salacylic acid and that may have caused the peeling. That’s what witch hazel does to me. The new formula is the original formula and no witch hazel. And I love it.
So I've been using the ordinarys thickening serum for a couple months now, and I really like it! A few weeks after I started using it, I noticed I'd shed a TON less, and then a few weeks ago I started noticing my temples had more hair than when I started🙌🙌🙌 I loove it! I only use 3-4 drops over my entire head, that way it doesn't get oily.
I’d be interested to hear your opinion on MDNA Skin by Madonna. So pricey, but I’ve had great experiences with it. From what I understand, her collaboration on the brand has a cool origin story.
Yes please release the full video on Jeffree Star! Love to hear your experiences meeting him. I met him once in UK when he toured with his album. Was such a good night of music & was a small venue so felt very intimate which I prefer.
After using the Jeffree skin for a solid 14 days(I haven’t switched anything) I will say I’m quite impressed with the quality and results. I really look forward to it now, maybe it’s the smell or the glow the mist gives, but I am really enjoying the products. I find I really like both the melt and cleaners although I don’t wear makeup, it feels very nice on my combo skin and doesn’t ever make me feel “stripped”. My skin looks probably the best it has in a long time truth be told but that could be from me just really trying to test these out and putting more effort in to see what results I get. The toner is great, I find it very nice and enjoyable. The moisturizer and eye cream are solid gold to me. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. It doesn’t irritate or turn it red, the scent is light enough but still enjoyable. It just feels so good on my skin and I really enjoy it more than the previous products I was using. The lip mask isn’t my thing and the glow mist is one of my favorite new products I’ve tried. Maybe it’s just the feeling or the look but I really enjoy and I notice a huge difference in the moisture, look, and feel of my skin. If you are on the fence, give one of the products and shot. I find them all to be great quality and wouldn’t see why you’d walk away disappointed.
Same here, I’m really impressed by his skincare line. I have the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and glow mist, and my skin has never looked better. I still use my other skin care products I already had in conjunction with Jeffree’s line based on what my skin needs, and I can honestly say that adding his products to my routine really enhanced the look of my skin. I’ve never had such soft, glowing skin in my life.
So do you just enjoy using them or do you actually notice a difference from them? You claim both, but you don’t really mention results except that it doesn’t turn your face red. That’s not a result.
@@dewilew2137 well tbh I’m not the best at knowing what to look for in my skin or how to explain. It just feels and looks really nice, much nicer than before. I look more hydrated and less dry. There is a softness to my skin now where as before probably because dryness it could feel “rough”. Those are results I would like from my skincare and these products have produced those outcomes for myself. I’m sure everyone is different but they work for my skin.
@@dewilew2137 they definitely mean their skin looks healthier than before. "MY SKIN BUT BETTER" if that makes sense. You may have a clear skin but it could be bumpy or dry to touch.. which you can't see but only feel. And using the right products would make them healthier and they would feel GOOD to touch too. Some things are unexplainable.
Keep it neutral… Loved that you kept it that way, was able to make a consumer decision about the line. There’s already enough drama about JS out there.
The glow recipe sunscreen did not pill for me and was pretty good. It does leave a white cast in the beginning then it settles down after 10 minutes or so and leaves a glow on the face. BeautyWithin made a video on product pilling in case the sunscreen is pilling for people. I use a bha toner, peach and lilty glass skin serum and a moisturizer before applying the sunscreen and a white for at least 2 minutes in between before proceeding with the next product to prevent any pilling
I love that freaking ordinary salicylic acid serum that you're talking about. I have sensitive and dry skin that is very blemish prone... This serum is lightweight and very beneficial for my skin it actually helped sloth away my closed comedones on my jawline!! I only apply three drops to my face and two to my neck. I also thoroughly enjoy the inky list spot treatment, the green one. Those two salicylic acid products are fantastic!!
I want to try the glow products but idk if they are really worth the money or people are only over selling them, kbeauty skincare is less expensive, without fragance. The bottles are pretty but the more I see people love it in the skincare reviews the less I want to buy it because all I see is paid ads.
I have a friend whose allergic to water so the ordinary one is cool! It’s not something I need right now but I always think it’s nice when stuff like this is launched bc water allergy can severely limit what someone would use
Oh dang, allergic to water?? How does that work, is their skin just allergic where they get a rash or something? That sounds like the worst allergy ever :(
@@MommaBear87 yes she gets rashes from it, so she uses oils and stuff! I believe she can shower but I forgot what she does exactly to be able to, but she doesn’t used moisturizer for instance just facial oils
K-Beauty has done ceramides in serums for a while. Ample:N Ceramide Shot (does have Xylitol) and the RNW Der. Concentrate Ceramide Plus Ampoule. The RNW line is great, love their products. 💖💖💖
I had a really bad reaction to the Ordinary BHA serum, so I was quite happy to hear that they pulled it off the shelves. Maybe they changed something about it?
Spill-the-tea kitty at 9:19 I would love to see more from you about Jeffree star and his line so please do it. As for The Ordinary redos, I would love your take on the original ‘buffet’ compared with the new ‘buffet with copper peptides’. I am that pimple-popper-goth-girl. Love ya
Dr Jart+ have an AMAZING ceramide line, Ceramidin, which includes a serum and a toner (it's more like a lotion tbh but it's called a toner). I know it's not vegan so it's not up your alley but for anyone looking for a ceramide line I personally recommend it!
GIRL PLEASE, give a full tell all of the whole jeffree skin ! i think it's so interesting because you were a fan but you gave your opinion due to your degree. But don't be afraid queen, spill the whole tea, drop an all exclusive opinions video.
I'm really late to this! i bought some J* products as a result of your review of the ingredients. i appreciate how you honestly said that you don't support the person but the ingredients look legit. I've been using the makeup remover, cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for a little over a month. there's more efficacious and "better" products out there (no fragrance, no alcohol). there's no need to run out and by J* skincare products. that said, i'd be a frigging liar if i say i don't like his products. first, they do a great job at what they advertised to do. second, they dont cause any problems for me. last, and here's why i would buy J* again, these products gave me a fun, enjoyable experience that encourages me to keep taking care of my skin. the scent and texture of products make me feel good about my routine and myself. overall, J* is worthwhile for me because it adds a lil lux and selfcare moment by punctuating my routine filled with no frills, "we're just here to do our jobs" products, without charging an arm and a leg. EDIT: i saw the kitten and i was like.... why? 😂😂 EDIT EDIT: wait a minute... you've done this kitten in other videos in other spots... 🧐
I saw the Hidden kitty starting at 9:19 and then the kitty goes away at 9:24. Love your videos :p Also I would love to see you review "Blue Lizard" Sunscreen or at least look into it please. I have been using it and it's my new favorite sunscreen to use.
Love your channel! I was surprised when you did the Mr.Ballen thing because I recognized it immediately. Thank you for sharing all of your skincare knowledge. We appreciate you, you beautiful butterfly!
I bought the Florence moisturizer and for me it actually works. My skin looks and feels better. But I only use it at night. In the morning I use my old brand WITH spf..
Thank you so much for reviewing the new Glow Recipe sunscreen. I love watching your reviews and have learned so much. With that said could you please review Glow Recipe's new strawberry serum please, and I would love to see a review on the brand Aavrani. Thanks Cassandra for all the hard work you put into your reviews! 🦋
Thoughts on ‘The Outset’ skin care line by Scar-Jo?! I’ve been using the regimen for about a month now and I’m very impressed! Also the Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Serum is a new HG for me!
Can’t wait to try that cleanser from IL. I have been using the Fulvic acid one and I I just started the peptide moisturiser which is the best I have ever used. My skin loves it!
I love your videos , opinions and reviews of products , I know that you don’t like Jeffrey star ⭐️ for the reasons that you mentioned but people change and if you see Jeffrey star videos he looks a more mature person mentally and is in a very different stage of his life
I never thought I'd be recommended to one of my other favorites (Mr Ballen) after all of my note taking and smiling with one of my favorites (You)! how cool is that! Thank you for all of your amazing content :)
It was surprising to hear that the people you work with and who help you edit/upload would make decisions that you only get to see once the video goes up.
Honestly i would love to see your jeffree star video. If possible if you could review at least one of his products, it would be nice if donated by a fan or something. Just one to understand the texture like the make up balm or something
Hey Cassandra, I’ve seen some other people like Susan Yara say that with the glow recipe sunscreen, they had to work it in quickly and then leave it alone or else it would pill up, so maybe try applying it and letting it set?
Honestly, I really appreciate what you're saying about J*. I used to be a big fan of his, but after watching the videos of him threatening people, assaulting people, etc. I just cant support him. Although I did appreciate you being Switzerland, I was a bit disappointed that all the controversies weren't discussed because I saw so much support for him in the comments, and a lot of people don't know about what he's done. So I really appreciate you making your stance known.
I really hope the people trying to say "Ew it was ten years ago" aren't just projecting shit they've done onto other people lol. The vast majority of people don't have a history of sexually assaulting people at knifepoint, throwing slurs and so on, so forth. That shit isn't forgivable
@@sunscreenhoarder6558 that's what I'm saying! I'm a recovering addict, I am NOT an angel by any means, but I literally haven't done any of the crap J* has done. Despite my mental illnesses& disorders, my history of trauma in every way, my addiction, I have never done any of that crap, and im 32 so I was very much around for the Facebook days, and I wasn't out there doing that crap, neither was anyone I was friends with, so the whole "it was a different time" really isn't valid. What he's done has never been ok, it's always been disgusting hate crimes and assault. The way people fight for him is insane to me, I'll never understand.
The ordinary salicylic acid gave me burns as well! I don’t think it is the users fault ! my face started burning. I never understood where the itchiness came from until I repurchased and started using it again; I started getting burns back! There is a reason it was removed for a awhile
Girl, you're so entertain, I got distracted so bad and I was like "mmmm what did i just watched and which one I should put on note?" , I literally need to re watch. Not only the product, you're hype too. Wishing you happy and healthy🍄🍄🍄 (mushroom is cute isn't it? )
Cassandra, you are the only beauty skintelectual TH-camr I trust! Idk what youtube would be without you! I am also vegan and struggle to find skincare that is cruelty-free and vegan..and effective! I honestly trust you the most, because you are so detailed and actually know what you are talking about! Thank you so much, I don't usually write comments on youtube videos but you deserve it so much! Keep glowing :)
Hi, Cassandra! I love your videos. There's a skincare brand here in Brazil that I'd love If you could see it. It's called "Sallve" and they have great products. 🤩
Can't wait to see your review on the Glow recipe sunscreen. I already know I would never buy it as I avoid American-made chemical sunscreens, as American filters are subpart especially for UVA protection. $34 for the Glow recipe seems overpriced for the awful filters it is made with. It makes more sense to order Korean sunscreens that have such great filters. There's so many to choose from.
You should check out Derma-e Hyleronic acid cleanser 😁 its amazing my husband has dry skin and he doesn't use moisturizer but he has been using my cleanser for a few months and his skin looks so much better it's not as dry
The Biossance gel cream and the algae eye cream is sooooo good. It just moisturizing enough and doesn't make me greasy nor break out. Their vitamin c / squalane is also amazing
@@nstar72 I have combo but I lean more oily. The gel cream and rectivan lotus cream are literally the only kind I can use. Everything else breaks me out. The Biossance omega cream was nice but too thick for me. The gel cream is perfect
I’d like to hear your thoughts on Jeffree. I don’t buy his things but I do constantly see very polarizing opinions. I would want a more educated conversation. Up to you tho!
RNW has a ceramide serum that includes multiple ceramides and peptides. I loved using it during the winter months. That Summer Fridays serum looks very interesting.
The RNW Ceramide Mist and Serum is great! Also love the Celimax Dual Barrier line especially the Creamy Toner. And the BePlain Bamboo Ampoule is a nice light ceramide option.
I just love your honesty and how you explain things🤗I dont know why I was sooo obsessed with having perfect skin..oh I know🙄I was put in fashion shows between 13 and 14yrs old n collected all kind of fashion magazines🤦♀️only got little acne monthly..but for yrs I used Estee Lauder then switched to OLay and LOR'REAl..Now at the age 55,I stick mainly to all goat milk product..it must be doing something..my 3 boys ages 37,23 and 22 say I can pass for my mid 30's😯lol..love you girl n keep up the good work💛

Mr baleen podcast if you like a spooky time
2:03 kitty alertt✨
Spoken about new brands: what are your thoughts about Nourished 3? Would love to know! 🦋
Nice to see another Mr. Ballen fan. I am a fan of the strange, dark and mysterious in story format.
Heads up, the ordinary re released the non oil sacyliac acic
Cass, try glow recipes salicylic acid serum
Why do these brands make these TINY products? Especially sunscreens where you have to use so much to get adequate protection. And then to charge $30+ for It?! I can’t.
Also, that inkey list cleanser reminds me of the Laroche possay Lipkar wash, which I use on face and body. It has that exact texture, and looks very similar in terms of the silky, non-bubbly lather it produces. At least from just looking at it, they seem similar to me.
for the FIRST TIME someone said this....ugghhh!! why are suncreens so expensive and comes in only 50ml bottle while cleansers and moisturisers come in large quantities...the most important step of skincare, the spf comes in tiny bottles which are supposed to be used atleast two to three times a day and not only on our face but neck, hands etc too!!
Kinza Hayat YES! It’s so hard to trust a brand that does this because it’s obvious that they want you to repurchase it more quickly. Those decisions aren’t made by accident.
I think that's because once you open a sunscreen you're not supposed to use it for a long time, they expire quite quickly. But anyway, I don't think it's ok to charge so much for such a tiny amount of product. So I'm ok with facial sunscreens being sold in tiny packages, but I'm not buying the expensive ones hahaha
The Epionce non tinted sunscreen is fantastic!! And its $26 or so and I believe it's like 3oz!
I like the way you say “someone at fenty has been working hard” because yes Omg so many people just credit Rihanna whether the launches are good or bad but it really is the scientists in the back hired by the brand making the moves & it’s nice to think about it in terms of “oh the team in charge of this brand has been doing better” as opposed to writing off brands entirely due to a bad launch (I lowkey feel like people like jaclyn hill made me forget that makeup/skincare isn’t the invention of one singular person lol)
Are you trying to say that Jaclyn Hill is the sole person behind her brand and products?? Because that literally just contradicted everything you said prior to the parentheses. 🤔
Cass Thompson that’s not what she meant.
i saw fenty recently brought out fragrance free versions if a few of their first products !! glad someone on the team is listening to consumers!
I’m getting the fragrence free cleanser when mine is out 100%
I actually LOVE the fragrance of all of Fentys skincare but I’m glad they made a fragrance free version for people!
I'm actually looking for someone to try Jeffree's line out of curiosity more than anything. Also, the Summer Friday's serum sounds a lot like the Purito Centella Unscented Serum that has Niancinamide, ceramides and peptides. Definitely my favourite most underrated skin barrier repair serum.
Purito still sells that serum right?
@Marian Hawke thanks for sharing! I used to love some of his makeup products but then stopped buying but my curiosity got me wondering if I should spend again. I also tend to have very sensitive and dry eyes so that might be something for me (although I don't invest much on eye creams). I'll add it to the "maybe" list nonetheless. Thanks 😊
@@sams517 yes, they do! I believe they also have a scented version but I haven't tried that out yet. The Unscented one works wonders though.
@Marian Hawke Hi which eye cream are you speaking of?
@Marian Hawke Ty ❤️
Using sunscreen ingredients that are only available in the US is a bad thing, not a good thing because the US is severely limiting the kinds of sunscreen ingredients that are approved. Amazing how glow recipe turned the marketing on that around and made that sound like a good thing, lol
exactly
Wait why is it a bad thing? Sorry I don’t understand but I would like too
@@kkstars369 there's lots of good sunscreen filters that are approved and used in Asia, Australia and Europe that protect against the sun in a more stable and broad spectrum way that are also way more tolerated on the skin. But the US is being archaic here. Check out Dr. Dray's sunscreen videos on TH-cam if you're interested. :)
But it is a good thing. If all you’re interested in is the “best” product, then I guess it’s a bad thing. But if what you’re interested in is a sunscreen that can be widely available in the US (so that more people use it) and which tries to balance being high quality with being FDA approved (and if you don’t know what you’re doing with sunscreen or any medicalised skincare product, FDA approval is something to look for) then it’s a good thing. It’s not just about making skincare for the people who have the time, money and energy to seek out products from an international market and import them. It’s also about making quality skincare available for the average person.
Honestly as FAR as J* skin cares line goes and your opinions- it doesnt hurt to share your own reasons because they might mirror others and its honestly really important to have those discussions. Cuz sometimes it's definitely harder for people to seperate a person from a product and vice versa and you've always brought a very educational air to those discussions and have helped myself and many others learn to purchase morally and ethically
Agreed!
@Marian Hawke tell someone else. We do not stan problematic people
hmmmm I had to think on this for a little bit, but if apologies were made/offered and/or accepted, then it may be best to leave the past in 'the past', I cannot really see how it would be of benefit to the lovely you, Cassandra. I thought your edited review was very neutral and non-biased so you played it perfectly ... as my mum would say 'don't poke the dog' (it's an Irish thing).
@@maireadweaver8952 apologies were not except. Why would you want to support a racist?
I have been thinking about this. I have not purchased anything from Jeffree Starr as of yet. I started subbing to beauty channels a little less than a year ago, it was when Jeffree left L.A. for Wyoming, and apologized for past behavior. I heard he was controversial but since I came along, Jeffree has neither started, nor been involved in, any controversy. He seems to be a very nice man and is really trying to make amends. With that being said, Jeffree has only been gone approximately a year, and I do not believe that is a long-enough amount of time for anyone to really change. I really want to do my due diligence regarding where my hard-earned money is spent, and do not want to support bad people, so I think you should tell us. However, if it is going to cause you any harm, please do not.
Not being sycophantic but I’m so depressed about my life in general and YOU YOU YOU have cheered me up. I hope you’re as happy in your skin as you appear. I love love love the quality of your content. STAY BLESSED X MUCH LOVE XX 💋🐶👏☮️🇬🇧
Indian skincare brands:
1.himalya (their neem facewash is in every household)
2.biotique
3. plum skincare (their most famous product is their green tea toner)
4. minimalist (knock off of ordinary but they have acknowledged it and are trying to make some original stuff)
5. kaama ayurveda
6. mamaearth (lots of sponsoships..and their launches are so frequent)
7.LAKMÉ SUN EXPERT SPF 50 PA+++ ULTRA MATTE LOTION
1. Biotique and Himalaya is literal trash in the name of natural and ayurvedic
2.plum actually launched better products I'm obsessing over their ginseng amla hair oil and niacinamide in fermented rice water serum
3. We stan be minimalist cuz they've now gone out of their way to prove their distinct identity and I'm glad I can enjoy TO experience without having to worry about custom and other tax. Their sunscreens are amazing!
5. Kaama might have decent products in the name of ayurveda but most of their products will only work on unproblematic skin, if you have medically diagnosed acne or stubborn melasma it's overhyped.
6. Absolutely hate mama earth and don't even get me started on lakme and their migraine inducing fragrance.
Why did you only list these brands?
We have some great brands with good formulations that actually work.
- Sugandha
-Dr Sheth's
-Deconstruct
-Over Dermis
-Pilgrim
-The Formula Rx
-Re’equil
-Conscious Chemist
-The Derma Co.
@@Daisy-ko4py add earth rhythm, neemli naturals, chemist at play, foxtale, skin signs, Qurez.
@@Daisy-ko4py look, you cant name all brands on the planet, but its great that you are adding on to that list!
Please do not recommend any influencer biotique and Himalaya. You are literally insulting legit Indian skincare brands by talking about these below average brands.
They are cheap that's why people buy them. It's affordable and easier on pocket and only good for those people who don't have any severe skin conditions..good only for young beginners.
Ah man I really wanted to try the glow recipe sunscreen but I HATE when products pill. That's part of the reason I had to stop using the ordinary niacinamide serum. It would be really hard to top the Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel though, it has everything I could want in it (including the niacinamide) & makes my skin look glossy and glassy and oh soooooo good, and the feel, oh the feel ❤️. Plus the price is unbeatable, I have 2 backups in my cupboard right now & will be ordering more soon lol. I wish I could slather it all over my body but the bottle is so small it would make my face jealous, if only they made a super size bottle 😂
I hate it when they pill too. I haven’t tried the Isntree yet but sounds perfect. I live in Las Vegas n have fair skin so I’m always down for a reasonably priced SPF that makes me look glassy. Thx for the recommendation ❤️✌🏼
@@jilla8503 try the neutrogena hydro boost sunscreens. They can make naturally oily skin look more on the greasy side but if you have dry skin and you pair it on top of a hydrating moisturizer, you’ll look like a glazed donut this summer.
I hate it when any product pills and rolls off the skin. I agree with you about the Isntree hyaluronic acid watery sun gel, it's what I'm currently using and it's so good!
Just recently ordered the isntree sun gel and can’t wait to try it. I’ve always had issues finding sunscreens that would work with my face.
I had the Glow Recipe SPF for 3 weeks and I never figured out how to get it not to pill. I NEVER return things, but I returned that one and got the Black Girl Sunscreen instead
I bought Jeffree skin and it's amazing! I was kinda scared because I have very sensitive skin and I'm very critical with skincare, but my skin loves it! Although for me the packaging is TACKY!!!!
@@phmac2402 so you are one of those who wants fancy outside and doesn't care what's inside.
Yikes.
Honestly the product is amazing i used it for two weeks now and I’m impressed
@@phmac2402 me when i hate: ... LMFAO YOU ARE SO DESPERATE AND DELUSIONAL
I tried it and honestly it's pretty good! My husband started using it because he thought it smells really good 🤣 It reduced a lot his problem of large pores and his nose is a lot less oily than it used to be. Currently he has the best skin he ever had, not even kidding.
My skin also loves this product! My undereyes are so much brighter and so is my skin. I do hope he comes out with an SPF though!
The Glow Recipe was so so bad for me, I couldn't get it not to pill on me all day. I never return things, but I actually returned it and went and got the Black Girl Sunscreen moisturizing SPF and I loooove that one
Exactly glow recipe is overrated and their products is overpriced perfume
It pilled for me so bad too! And it’s too late for me to return it
I love the black girl sunscreen. I cannot wait for it to be back for the season at target!
@@thistlecreek1 they have it at Ulta also! That's where I picked mine up. It's the best SPF I've tried yet I love it!
@@AKbaby89 target is closer for me, but I'll remember ulta carries it.
The Ordinary’s anhydrous salicylic acid has been a game changer for my dry, sensitive skin. It is literally the only salicylic acid product that I can use consistently.
RE: JS, I would like to know what you earlier predicted vs what came out? Because you went hard into the fact that he would have makeup wipes? Personally the line is okay? But not earth shattering. I will most likely buy the cleansing balm later in the year because I like cleansing balms in general 😅
She already made a video addressing that…
The make up balm is my fav. Jojoba oil made my skin soft and the fruit extract make your face slimmer as it detoxifies i use with my guasha and i have a much better jawline now
@@dewilew2137 She mentioned in the current video there was a lot she cut out I would be curious to see what was left out .
@@VashMungur Omg please don't spread false information like that. And don't give people who don't know any better unrealistic expectations....1. NO extract will make your face slimmer. 2. NO skincare product/ingredient can "detoxify" your skin....The ONLY thing that is possibly making your jawline look slimmer is the gua sha, and that is ONLY because it helps lymphatic drainage which TEMPORARILY reduces puffiness. 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
@@cassthompson3386 there is apple extract that helps to sculpt your face. Using guasha and facial exercises together with the product makes it enhance that lifted and sculpted look even more. Use it yourself every night and you will see the difference on your face. I wrote guasha there because of course i know that skincare effect is probably 20-30 % and rest is guasha. The jojoba oil while doing the massage stimulates the blood circulation of your skin and improved your skin ability to detox easier. Idk where exactly is false information but this is MY experience. Please tell me you actually bought all his products and are judging it AFTER you tried them all or you will look really judgemental for nothing now
I was not prepared for that Mr Ballen namedrop but I'm here for it
I want to say that I am grateful that I discovered your channel. Because since I was young, I have never been a person who took a skincare routine seriously and has suffered many consequences later. But with your informative content, my skin keeps doing better!
Keep going. You have my heart and my support!
9:25 🐈⬛☕️
I love glow recipe, so of course I bought the sunscreen as soon as it came out. The first time I used it I didn’t notice the pilling just how glowing it made my skin. The second time I put it on I was going with my boyfriend to see his mom and grandparents. Not only did it pill horrendously but it made my eyes water and burn so bad I could barely take it. The burning didn’t start till we were halfway there or I would have reduced my skincare. Not cute showing up with bright red watery eyes. I started my online return on the car ride home.
Yaaay!! I never get enough of my queen's videos ! I have a special request. Can you make a video on how to layer all the different serums foe both night and day ? I think it would be really helpful for alot of us ! Thanks beautiful butterfly
YESSSSS!!! Agree 💯 please do!
I second this! Pweeease

love this!!! ❤️❤️❤️ and you should DEFINITELY do the Jeffrey one that you said...I feel like I am torn apart regarding Jeffrey Star and do not know exactly what to believe because there are so many stories...I feel like I trust you and would like to get more details about this ;) ps: can you make a video about powder SPF or how to re-apply SPF when wearing makeup? kisses!!!
Yes!! I can’t stop midday and reapply makeup. Is there a way to do this with sunscreen?
Just keep in mind yes Jeffree star is controversial and controversy people are always gonna be put down no matter what. especially people like Jeffree star, based on their past I think people tend to forget Jeffree stars current status. if you’ve noticed he is avoiding drama he got rid of people that were causing drama if you ask me he has definitely changed
@@Meg_Sprite I just watched a vid by TheMexicanBeauty where she shows an spf setting spray!! By Supergoop! I tried the La Roche Posay one and it's nice and invisible but I know it's not so easy to find overseas (I'm in Europe) and can be a bit pricey, so I'm happy about the Supergoop one for you guys across the pond 🥰 not sure about the price but worth checking it out!
@@Valentinegore132 I agree. I understand that people have their opinions but her opinion is based off of interactions and situations from years ago. It's unfortunate that she's not willing to see the growth, it's a bit of a turn off to be honest.
I was actually very sad that the Ordinary salicylic acid was not available for so long because it worked so good for my skin and unfortunately Paula's Choice one does not at all. I'm so excited to try it again!
My favorite sunscreen is Tula's Protect and Glow. It leaves a beautiful glowy sheen without being too much or too greasy. I've not heard the best about Glow Recipes, but I really wanna try Tatcha's new one. That pricetag is insane but finding nice sunscreens is so difficult for my skin
Okay, I need to hear the JS tea!!! PLEASE UPDATE US!!! 😍😍😍
I honestly had no idea you knew him personally.
Holy cow is Mr Ballen addictive! I found his videos a few months ago, and they are awesome! Cannot find the hidden stuff tho 🥺
Yes! I found his vids a year and a half ago cos they kept popping up in my recommended so finally i took the bait - and the storytelling just hooked me. I keep recommending him to everyone I know. They're the perfect thing to put on while driving
I got the Omega Cream, and so far (after much trial and error) it is the only thing that helps my little boys' winter cheeks. They get dry and bumpy in cold weather. Tried a million things, but it either doesn't do enough, or they get little pimples. The combination of that and a gentle moisturizer is the only thing that has worked. I use it under sunscreen, and it isn't magical, but it doesn't break me out.
Um, I didn't know TO's Anhydrous Salicylic Acid was hyped.
As far as I could tell, many didn't like it. At least that was the case when I bought it.
But, me, yeah it was the first product I've ever used that became a holy grail... And is responsible for the healthy, smooth, acne-free complexion I currently flaunt.
I have combo-dry skin, especially in winter, which is when I started using the product. It was so moisturizing and really helped me combat the dry winter months.
Of course, I purged from Week 2 until my 30 Day mark, and it didn't do much for my pores, but oh.em.gee did it help with my hormonal breakouts.
While it is oily (its base is squalane) I found after a week or two of use it absorbed much better into my skin, and a little goes a long way. I would also apply a couple hours before putting head to pillow so that wasn't a huge concern for me. And I only used in the PM so AM + makeup application wasn't a concern.
It also worked SOOOO well underneath my moisturizer. I absolutely loved it. It made my moisturizer so silky.... *chefs kiss*
I did experiencing some tightness in my temple, upper cheeks and jawline about 2-3 weeks in, but that's when I incorporated Marine Hyaluronics into my routine (before the Anhydrous Solution) and that feeling went away immediately.
My skin was just dehydrated, even though I was moisturized to the high heavens.
That product (combined with a good cleanser and moisturizer) singlehandedly changed my skin. It changed the texture of my skin, it improved my breakouts, and it evened my skin-tone.
I never knew my temples or lower jawline (near my earlobes) could be so smooth and soft. I've dealt with rough bumps for 20 years and assumed that was just my skin and it would never get better.
I do attribute a lot of fhe success to the squalane itself.
I learned just how wonderful it is and how much my skin just loves it. But I get that it's a deterrent for oily-skin-peeps.
Now that the water-based 2% Solution is back and re-formulated, most oily-skin-peeps probably will gravitate towards that, but I'd still argue that the Anhydrous is good for everyone, especially sensitive-skin-peeps... As it was the most gentle Salicylic acid product I've ever used. Hands down wonderful. Never a single issue besides the slight dehydration (not dryness).
And, too, like I said, a little goes a long way. So one doesn't need to slather it on. Just a couple drops across the face will do. Or spot treat. This formula works miracles on active breakouts. I can't count the times I dabbed on to a big ol' nasty zit, and woke up the next day to nothing or a way less inflamed and angry zit.
I am the biggest cheerleader for this Anhydrous Solution.
I think it's magical and I implore anyone new tto Salicylic Acid, or those who love squalane and clear skin to give this a try.
To be honest, I prefer it to the new and re-formulated solution.
I'm not a huge fan of TO's water-based serums.
But if you are, all the power to you.
One last thing: a lot of the negative comments came from people who weren't moisturizing while using this product.
I get that it has squalane, but that's not enough in and of itself.
The squalane in this formula acts as a carrier... To prevent the irritation and discomfort associated with SA, but is not meant to replace moisturizer. I would recommend that all people lock this solution in with a good moisturizer, even a light one, to prevent discomfort. And maybe add a good HA, too.
That said, yeah, this product is a personal favourite. And I'm pretty picky and critical of hyped brands and products.
I TOTALLY BOUGHT INTO , Inky and medic8!! Like a lot🤦🏽♀️. Oh and Cay skin. I’m in love with Cay skin body oil !❤️
I Love how you explain what the ingredients are, if they’re basic or really good. I think that’s why I bought into 3 different skincare lines.
Hi Cassandra! I'd absolutely LOVE to see u making a geeky video about pH! lol haha, how important is our products' pH when it comes to layering them! pleasee
I am so curious bc in my routine I layer my products by their consistency (oily-water based, etc) BUT sometimes I see myself using a serum of pH 6 first.. and then an acid (azelaic, vitamin C, tranexamic, salycilic etc) bc the product consistency is thicker, heavier, oily or creamy, but honestly I don't know how much that affect their how they work on my skin.
help 🤯
YES, seconding this. It’s so overwhelming to consider all the things I might be doing wrong.
+
hey Cassandra, I would love if you could review the outset skincare by scarlett johansson. They are getting best reviews on their websites and even some review publishers have given them full marks. I haven't seen a single review video from anyone. Just simply because it is a celeb skincare. people tend to underestimate. I am believing that brand bze she has been developing since 5 years and they have eliminated 2700 harmful ingredients, so it's totally clean. people with acne have seen great results in 1 week. so could you please review it??
9:22 was where the mysterious cat was found 🐱. Live your channel ❤️ and hope some day I can get the dermalogica acne retinol oil cause I bet that would work so well with me!
Hi!!! I love your videos Cassandra! I struggle with body acne and hyperpigmentation (something my face doesn’t weirdly) on my body. Id love to see you try and look into body skin care! So much body skin care is often loaded with fragrances and rarely has serums or toners for it, again love your videos🦋
The ordinary quietly added witch hazel to their salacylic acid and that may have caused the peeling. That’s what witch hazel does to me. The new formula is the original formula and no witch hazel. And I love it.
So I've been using the ordinarys thickening serum for a couple months now, and I really like it! A few weeks after I started using it, I noticed I'd shed a TON less, and then a few weeks ago I started noticing my temples had more hair than when I started🙌🙌🙌 I loove it! I only use 3-4 drops over my entire head, that way it doesn't get oily.
I feel like the Inkey List’s baseline cleanser is the fulvic acid cleanser. I think it’s very overlooked, but defs a hidden gem!
I’d be interested to hear your opinion on MDNA Skin by Madonna. So pricey, but I’ve had great experiences with it. From what I understand, her collaboration on the brand has a cool origin story.
Cass, anything you talk about is interesting so, please drop Part 2 of the JSS video. I value your thoughts and the hidden kitty is at 9:19.
Yes please release the full video on Jeffree Star! Love to hear your experiences meeting him. I met him once in UK when he toured with his album. Was such a good night of music & was a small venue so felt very intimate which I prefer.
After using the Jeffree skin for a solid 14 days(I haven’t switched anything) I will say I’m quite impressed with the quality and results. I really look forward to it now, maybe it’s the smell or the glow the mist gives, but I am really enjoying the products. I find I really like both the melt and cleaners although I don’t wear makeup, it feels very nice on my combo skin and doesn’t ever make me feel “stripped”. My skin looks probably the best it has in a long time truth be told but that could be from me just really trying to test these out and putting more effort in to see what results I get. The toner is great, I find it very nice and enjoyable. The moisturizer and eye cream are solid gold to me. I have noticed a HUGE difference in my skin. It doesn’t irritate or turn it red, the scent is light enough but still enjoyable. It just feels so good on my skin and I really enjoy it more than the previous products I was using. The lip mask isn’t my thing and the glow mist is one of my favorite new products I’ve tried. Maybe it’s just the feeling or the look but I really enjoy and I notice a huge difference in the moisture, look, and feel of my skin. If you are on the fence, give one of the products and shot. I find them all to be great quality and wouldn’t see why you’d walk away disappointed.
Same here, I’m really impressed by his skincare line. I have the cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and glow mist, and my skin has never looked better. I still use my other skin care products I already had in conjunction with Jeffree’s line based on what my skin needs, and I can honestly say that adding his products to my routine really enhanced the look of my skin. I’ve never had such soft, glowing skin in my life.
So do you just enjoy using them or do you actually notice a difference from them? You claim both, but you don’t really mention results except that it doesn’t turn your face red. That’s not a result.
@@dewilew2137 well tbh I’m not the best at knowing what to look for in my skin or how to explain. It just feels and looks really nice, much nicer than before. I look more hydrated and less dry. There is a softness to my skin now where as before probably because dryness it could feel “rough”. Those are results I would like from my skincare and these products have produced those outcomes for myself. I’m sure everyone is different but they work for my skin.
@@dewilew2137 they definitely mean their skin looks healthier than before.
"MY SKIN BUT BETTER" if that makes sense.
You may have a clear skin but it could be bumpy or dry to touch.. which you can't see but only feel. And using the right products would make them healthier and they would feel GOOD to touch too.
Some things are unexplainable.
Keep it neutral… Loved that you kept it that way, was able to make a consumer decision about the line. There’s already enough drama about JS out there.
You saying that you were a goth teen that grew up to be addicted to pimple popping just brought me back to life. Ty
The glow recipe sunscreen did not pill for me and was pretty good. It does leave a white cast in the beginning then it settles down after 10 minutes or so and leaves a glow on the face. BeautyWithin made a video on product pilling in case the sunscreen is pilling for people. I use a bha toner, peach and lilty glass skin serum and a moisturizer before applying the sunscreen and a white for at least 2 minutes in between before proceeding with the next product to prevent any pilling
Glow recipe is too pricey for me. For $18 to $20, you can get the isntree sun gel and has much better filters.
I love that freaking ordinary salicylic acid serum that you're talking about. I have sensitive and dry skin that is very blemish prone... This serum is lightweight and very beneficial for my skin it actually helped sloth away my closed comedones on my jawline!! I only apply three drops to my face and two to my neck. I also thoroughly enjoy the inky list spot treatment, the green one. Those two salicylic acid products are fantastic!!
35 seconds that’s my friend Bryan and amazing esthetician love him so much 😭❤️❤️❤️
I want to try the glow products but idk if they are really worth the money or people are only over selling them, kbeauty skincare is less expensive, without fragance. The bottles are pretty but the more I see people love it in the skincare reviews the less I want to buy it because all I see is paid ads.
The Glow Recipe Sunscreen is way too expensive for the amount you get 😖 Imagine buying it every month
It doesn’t even look like it would last a whole month unless you don’t use enough to protect yourself!
I have a friend whose allergic to water so the ordinary one is cool! It’s not something I need right now but I always think it’s nice when stuff like this is launched bc water allergy can severely limit what someone would use
Oh dang, allergic to water?? How does that work, is their skin just allergic where they get a rash or something? That sounds like the worst allergy ever :(
@@MommaBear87 yes she gets rashes from it, so she uses oils and stuff! I believe she can shower but I forgot what she does exactly to be able to, but she doesn’t used moisturizer for instance just facial oils
K-Beauty has done ceramides in serums for a while. Ample:N Ceramide Shot (does have Xylitol) and the RNW Der. Concentrate Ceramide Plus Ampoule. The RNW line is great, love their products. 💖💖💖
I had a really bad reaction to the Ordinary BHA serum, so I was quite happy to hear that they pulled it off the shelves. Maybe they changed something about it?
Idrc about what she's saying but i love this woman and I'll continue watch her cause i enjoy her talking
We have been waiting years for their salicylic acid to restock and now we got a new one.
You got me into skincare (:
OMG me too!! Cassandra is amazing!🥰
I normally use elizavecca niacianamide spf. I've never have any issues with it no matter how much I use or if I use other products with
Spill-the-tea kitty at 9:19
I would love to see more from you about Jeffree star and his line so please do it. As for The Ordinary redos, I would love your take on the original ‘buffet’ compared with the new ‘buffet with copper peptides’. I am that pimple-popper-goth-girl. Love ya
They are both out of my budget 😪
I think I did try buffet once maybe 2years ago. It didn’t justify the price for me.
@@dewilew2137 I've got enough budget for one of them - but not enough to try them both :(
FYI: “Cay” is pronounced “key”. I learned this in the Caribbean.
Dr Jart+ have an AMAZING ceramide line, Ceramidin, which includes a serum and a toner (it's more like a lotion tbh but it's called a toner). I know it's not vegan so it's not up your alley but for anyone looking for a ceramide line I personally recommend it!
GIRL PLEASE, give a full tell all of the whole jeffree skin ! i think it's so interesting because you were a fan but you gave your opinion due to your degree. But don't be afraid queen, spill the whole tea, drop an all exclusive opinions video.
I bought the glow recipe..gave it away as it pilled no matter what I did. I also ordered and am waiting on the Cay skin...and have high hopes for it.
I'm really late to this! i bought some J* products as a result of your review of the ingredients. i appreciate how you honestly said that you don't support the person but the ingredients look legit. I've been using the makeup remover, cleanser, toner, and moisturizer for a little over a month. there's more efficacious and "better" products out there (no fragrance, no alcohol). there's no need to run out and by J* skincare products.
that said, i'd be a frigging liar if i say i don't like his products. first, they do a great job at what they advertised to do. second, they dont cause any problems for me. last, and here's why i would buy J* again, these products gave me a fun, enjoyable experience that encourages me to keep taking care of my skin. the scent and texture of products make me feel good about my routine and myself. overall, J* is worthwhile for me because it adds a lil lux and selfcare moment by punctuating my routine filled with no frills, "we're just here to do our jobs" products, without charging an arm and a leg.
EDIT: i saw the kitten and i was like.... why? 😂😂
EDIT EDIT: wait a minute... you've done this kitten in other videos in other spots... 🧐
I saw the Hidden kitty starting at 9:19 and then the kitty goes away at 9:24. Love your videos :p Also I would love to see you review "Blue Lizard" Sunscreen or at least look into it please. I have been using it and it's my new favorite sunscreen to use.
Could we have a video about lips? I never seen tomfind products to protect, moisturize and heal my lips…sun or cold, they always suffer…
Love your channel! I was surprised when you did the Mr.Ballen thing because I recognized it immediately. Thank you for sharing all of your skincare knowledge. We appreciate you, you beautiful butterfly!
I bought the Florence moisturizer and for me it actually works. My skin looks and feels better. But I only use it at night. In the morning I use my old brand WITH spf..
😩😩😩 I have bought so much from your reviews and honesty 💜 (my poor husband) and I need more product space! What is a girl to do?!?
Thank you so much for reviewing the new Glow Recipe sunscreen. I love watching your reviews and have learned so much. With that said could you please review Glow Recipe's new strawberry serum please, and I would love to see a review on the brand Aavrani. Thanks Cassandra for all the hard work you put into your reviews! 🦋
Thoughts on ‘The Outset’ skin care line by Scar-Jo?! I’ve been using the regimen for about a month now and I’m very impressed! Also the Summer Fridays Dream Oasis Serum is a new HG for me!
They actually have the fulvic acid brightening cleanser and it’s incredible for my dry skin!
Can’t wait to try that cleanser from IL. I have been using the Fulvic acid one and I I just started the peptide moisturiser which is the best I have ever used. My skin loves it!
I love your videos , opinions and reviews of products , I know that you don’t like Jeffrey star ⭐️ for the reasons that you mentioned but people change and if you see Jeffrey star videos he looks a more mature person mentally and is in a very different stage of his life
I never thought I'd be recommended to one of my other favorites (Mr Ballen) after all of my note taking and smiling with one of my favorites (You)! how cool is that! Thank you for all of your amazing content :)
It was surprising to hear that the people you work with and who help you edit/upload would make decisions that you only get to see once the video goes up.

I'm a big fan of the strange, dark and mysterious delivered in story format as well XD
9:19 !!! There's a hidden kitten :) Love you!
Kitty at 9:19mins 😺 I'm looking forward to trying the Inkey List Hyaluronic Cleanser and maybe one or two others. Thanks Cassandra!! 🦋
i really love the brightening cleanser from the inkey list! its good for my dry ass skin and it doesnt burn my skin lol really recommend it!
Honestly i would love to see your jeffree star video. If possible if you could review at least one of his products, it would be nice if donated by a fan or something. Just one to understand the texture like the make up balm or something
Hey Cassandra, I’ve seen some other people like Susan Yara say that with the glow recipe sunscreen, they had to work it in quickly and then leave it alone or else it would pill up, so maybe try applying it and letting it set?
Wonder which is better? Fenty skin pre show glow VS Bliss That's Incredi-peel Glycolic Resurfacing Pads
Honestly, I really appreciate what you're saying about J*.
I used to be a big fan of his, but after watching the videos of him threatening people, assaulting people, etc. I just cant support him. Although I did appreciate you being Switzerland, I was a bit disappointed that all the controversies weren't discussed because I saw so much support for him in the comments, and a lot of people don't know about what he's done. So I really appreciate you making your stance known.
I really hope no one is going to forgive you for the stuff you did/said 10+ years ago!
@@Ramonetty089 he’s still evil. literally nothing has changed
@@kyle-tg7bi okay,of you say so 😂😂😂
I really hope the people trying to say "Ew it was ten years ago" aren't just projecting shit they've done onto other people lol. The vast majority of people don't have a history of sexually assaulting people at knifepoint, throwing slurs and so on, so forth. That shit isn't forgivable
@@sunscreenhoarder6558 that's what I'm saying! I'm a recovering addict, I am NOT an angel by any means, but I literally haven't done any of the crap J* has done. Despite my mental illnesses& disorders, my history of trauma in every way, my addiction, I have never done any of that crap, and im 32 so I was very much around for the Facebook days, and I wasn't out there doing that crap, neither was anyone I was friends with, so the whole "it was a different time" really isn't valid. What he's done has never been ok, it's always been disgusting hate crimes and assault. The way people fight for him is insane to me, I'll never understand.
The ordinary salicylic acid gave me burns as well! I don’t think it is the users fault ! my face started burning. I never understood where the itchiness came from until I repurchased and started using it again; I started getting burns back! There is a reason it was removed for a awhile
Girl, you're so entertain, I got distracted so bad and I was like "mmmm what did i just watched and which one I should put on note?" , I literally need to re watch. Not only the product, you're hype too.
Wishing you happy and healthy🍄🍄🍄 (mushroom is cute isn't it? )
Cassandra, you are the only beauty skintelectual TH-camr I trust! Idk what youtube would be without you! I am also vegan and struggle to find skincare that is cruelty-free and vegan..and effective! I honestly trust you the most, because you are so detailed and actually know what you are talking about! Thank you so much, I don't usually write comments on youtube videos but you deserve it so much! Keep glowing :)
Hi, Cassandra! I love your videos. There's a skincare brand here in Brazil that I'd love If you could see it. It's called "Sallve" and they have great products. 🤩
Can't wait to see your review on the Glow recipe sunscreen. I already know I would never buy it as I avoid American-made chemical sunscreens, as American filters are subpart especially for UVA protection. $34 for the Glow recipe seems overpriced for the awful filters it is made with. It makes more sense to order Korean sunscreens that have such great filters. There's so many to choose from.
I'm glad you finally came to your senses about queen RiRi and Fenty
OMG, you say "doll hairs" instead of dollars too!!! My whole family has said it for like 40 years, no joke!
Just started using The Ordinary Salicylic Acid (old version) 2x/day for my 56 year old acne (f#@$%&!) and no new breakouts! Hooray!
Congratulations! 😍
You should check out Derma-e Hyleronic acid cleanser 😁 its amazing my husband has dry skin and he doesn't use moisturizer but he has been using my cleanser for a few months and his skin looks so much better it's not as dry
The Biossance gel cream and the algae eye cream is sooooo good. It just moisturizing enough and doesn't make me greasy nor break out. Their vitamin c / squalane is also amazing
What skin type do you have?
@@nstar72 I have combo but I lean more oily. The gel cream and rectivan lotus cream are literally the only kind I can use. Everything else breaks me out. The Biossance omega cream was nice but too thick for me. The gel cream is perfect
I love that you said : America 🇺🇸, not the US ... ❤ hugs and thanks for everything 🤗
I’d like to hear your thoughts on Jeffree. I don’t buy his things but I do constantly see very polarizing opinions. I would want a more educated conversation. Up to you tho!
Believe me sometimes your life is better without knowing about certain people. 😄
Did I hear a reference to Mr. Ballen... The strange dark and mysterious... delivered in story format? Yes please!
❤️❤️ super awesome as always! Can't wait for review videos
I really hope the glow recipe sunscreen meets the high standards of Australian sunscreen regulations, as I’d love to try it! 🥺
RNW has a ceramide serum that includes multiple ceramides and peptides. I loved using it during the winter months. That Summer Fridays serum looks very interesting.
The RNW Ceramide Mist and Serum is great! Also love the Celimax Dual Barrier line especially the Creamy Toner. And the BePlain Bamboo Ampoule is a nice light ceramide option.
@@skinsciencebymira yes the RNW mist is lovely as well as the moisturizer. I will look into the other ones you mentioned.
I just love your honesty and how you explain things🤗I dont know why I was sooo obsessed with having perfect skin..oh I know🙄I was put in fashion shows between 13 and 14yrs old n collected all kind of fashion magazines🤦♀️only got little acne monthly..but for yrs I used Estee Lauder then switched to OLay and LOR'REAl..Now at the age 55,I stick mainly to all goat milk product..it must be doing something..my 3 boys ages 37,23 and 22 say I can pass for my mid 30's😯lol..love you girl n keep up the good work💛
I use the CosRx snail mucin essence and Korres wild rose vitaminC with their Greek yogurt rebalance serum along side the GR spf with no pilling
Try minimalist sunscreen !
The Fenty Skin; Butta Drop body cream is my new STAPLE!!! Yess riri
2:05 found the hidden kitten🐈

I love your vids!
