Hello, i've just discovered your channel when searching for a review of the hourglass blush stick and found myself watching a lot of your videos. I'm in my early twenties but adore how eloquent and well-spoken you are, such a classy lady. Much love, xx
I’m so tempted by the Kosas. It looks so nice and hydrating. I also love hearing you talk about makeup marketing-sometimes the long names are a little much.
They all ended up working wonderfully together and look very beautiful. It would be great to see a 6 hours later makeup update to know if it lasted or settled into fine lines.
Really helpfull, thank you so much!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 I had for quite some time this Saie product in a drawer, but gonna use soon!!! I'm 51 and really don't love bright highlighters anymore. Thanks for the beautiful video!!!😘😘😘😘
I just bought the kosas concealer a couple weeks ago, and I’ve literally been looking for a video about these other two products 🙀 loved this so much. You’re beautiful and have such a healthy glow!
@@TheHoodedLid I’ve been thinking about your video and I had a couple of questions I would love to hear your thoughts on! Is the Kosas 2.5 good for fair cool skin, or does it have too much peach/warmth? I have shade 1.5 but I’m thinking it’s a little too light for my entire face. Wondering if 2.5 would be better...I think my skin tone is similar to yours ☺️ I also wanted to know your thoughts about the Saie super glow gel after you’ve been wearing it for several weeks. Do you still love it?
@@hannahmatsuda5756 I love the Saie! If you, like me, want a little shine, but not color (no gold or pink, ect) this is a sweet little find. Re the Kosas ... this color may be a smidge too light for me, but I'll suggest something I do which could help with undertone Whatever I have left of my foundation on the back of my hand, I mix with the concealer. This will thin the concealer a bit, but also help with the darken up something to light and get a better undertone.
I’ve been hoping you’d get one of the new shades of the concealer, glad this one works better for you! I got the 0.5 and am thrilled with it. Also love the cloud powder and it looks great on you!
I just bought the Kosas Cloud powder and love it so far. I haven’t been able to find a powder that doesn’t settle into fine lines. Ive heard great things about the hair product also.
Have you continued to use the Kosas powder? Mine got hard panned within a week and am wondering about your experience. I like the saie dewy glow mixed with saie liquid blush. For me, perfection! Thanks
My hard panned, too. Just I thought it was my fault. I returned it - but I got it again at the sale. I'll let you know. I wonder if I just had a "bad run" or something because this one seems different than my first one.
It hard pans because the brush is transferring oil from your skin onto the compact. Try using a clean brush every day. Also rubbing a spoolie across the top of the powder will keep it from hard panning.
I read on another video Comment someone was using tape to lift the hard pan! I've never tried it but it sounds like it could work!? It's a bummer it hard pans. I think that's why I prefer loose powders (even though they are more messy)
It's probably the Wayne Goss brush (link in Description box). Last I checked it wasn't in stock - but that was a while ago. I use this brush every day!
The timing of this is perfect because I just received the Saie glowy gel in a Sephora order today and you hit the nail on the head. This is definitely more of a spreadable gel than a strategic highlighter, but I really like it!
I love the Kosas new concealer shades! I went into a Credo store last week and came out with both 1.5 and 2.5. I also use the shade 1 around the perimeter of my face, but it was always slightly too yellow for anywhere else since the center of my face is more pink. The 2.5 is perfect for neutralizing my dark under-eye circles and the 1.5 is undetectable around my nose and chin. I’m a painter, so this combo makes me so happy! It feels like MY skin but just less inflamed and more hydrated.
And I’m seriously considering the Kosas powder. It looks lovely on you and seems to perform well. I might wait until I hit pan on my CT pressed powder first though.
I'm still undecided - kind went "hard pan" right away. It's baked, which I'm not used to. Dior and Tatcha both have powders coming out - so there's more to choose from soon!
So grateful you let me know abt these new shades. I love the formula too and own tone #2 but can only wear it in the summer bc of the yellow-ness. After watching this video I ordered 1.5 and it's perfect!
omg just found you per someones recommendation on reddit and i love your channel!!!!! youre so calming to watch which is exactly what i needed in this hectic world - thank you!!!!!
The Chantecaille sales rep. swore to me that vanilla was my color. When I got into my car, I looked like an Oompa Loompa. I have to mix Alabaster with Ivory to get my ideal shade. I've recently embraced the Beautyblender for applying concealer and powder. Although the BB thins the coverage, if I use my finger, it ends up picking up the product, which may be due to my sunscreen. Finally, brands are putting out more cooler tones. It's why I own a few Tilbury or McGrath products.
Lovely video, I bought the Saie highlighter a couple of weeks back and I've not got round to trying it out on my face yet (this video has given me the impetus to try it out tomorrow) I allso have the CT one, I just couldn't seem to get a natural look with it but it looks so pretty swatched on my hand! I decided to splurge on the new Chantecaille cushion foundation after watching your video (about five times over trying to justify the price) I already have the Chantecaille future skin and it feels and looks lovely on the skin (I think I'm in Ivory) the only thing I found was the colour looked very orange on me too, I don't know if it oxidises but that had put me off wearing it, but after spending the day trialling wearing the future skin again (indoors) I decided to buy the cushion foundation. I ordered the second lightest (Alabaster) and it arrived today (I was super excited to get it) but it looked orange as I peeled off the seal and I wondered if I had made a massive mistake in buying it, but I tried it out and I must say, it's so, so pretty, it does looks darker in the pan, but so far I am really loving it (so thank you very much for doing a video on it). I also bought the Shiseido synchro skin radiant lifting and that is really pretty and makes my skin look really healthy. I might look at the Kosas concealer next as that looks and sounds amazing, but to be honest both concealers look the same on camera. Thank you for making such lovely videos, I could watch them all day!
I am so glad you're loving the Chantecaille. I also thought it was orange looking when I first opened it up! I actually ordered the Synchro skin yesterday - lol
The clinique concealer is a better colour match, according to my screen. The Kosas ingredient list sounds great. The 2.5 shade might be too light - maybe the 3.5 would be better. You could perhaps apply a colour corrector (e.g. Charlotte Tilbury’s) prior to applying concealer. Thank you for doing this. I have been using the Sisley concealer and loving it - but it is hellishly expensive. I am fairer than you (Chantecaille alabaster) - do you think the 2.5 in Kosas would work for me?
The 2.5 might work for you - I haven't seen the Chantecaille Alabaster personally though. Unfortunately, the 3.5 is olive, and I don't want any green under the eyes as I think it will read like darkness...I'm thinking, since the Clinique looks so similar, I may get that one in a shade darker and mix n match. Like them both for crepey skin - hardly any creasing and neither look drying either!
I'm not so sure about it. It "hard panned" right away. This could be my first baked powder, so maybe I'm doing something wrong. Anyway, in a few weeks I'll do a "that was then, this is now" video were I talk about recent purchases!
@@TheHoodedLid I heard a similar complaint about the bronzer which has been my concern. I live in a dry climate as well so I could definitely see it being a problem for me as well.
I really like how the baked powder looked on your skin. And as far as those undertones, I tried the samples ordered from kosas, and the best match I could get was mixing 1.5 & 3.2. Go figure. That said, I’m tempted to try airy, to see how it works on my skin, but I already have and love w3ll people bio base baked brightener in “universal glow”.
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ I would like to know if you have tried the Pat MacGrath concealer? Or the new dewy Tarte shape tape concealer? I would love to know what you think about those two concealers Love ❤️ from Sweden 🇸🇪
Yes, I did try the PMG , but not the Dewy Tarte. I thought the PMG was ok (did a video on that and the powder). I found the color range kinda difficult. I returned it because the color was wrong, and I didn't love it enough to try to find a better color. Love right back to Sweden!!
Hello, beautiful person!) Rhank you for such deep reviews! Do you like kosas better than pat? I am considering boyung one of too, want the most long lasting, full coverage and not drying/separating on skin one🙈
@@Alishawlk It's been a long time since I tried the Pat, I really couldn't say. I remember being focused on the color which didn't work for me, than the coverage or wear. If I had to say - I'd say go with the Kosas.
YES! I have to be careful, though, because it's does have some color and I spot powder vs. all over powder. Be sure to get a good shade for your skintone - if it's a bit too light or dark, it seems a bit odd to me in dimmer light. But if you powder your entire face, it might not be a problem.
As a highlighter, on top of foundation. But I guess you could use it all over after sunscreen before foundation. I haven't used it that way personally.
I bought the Kosas powder and have used it maybe twice so far. I love it, but it has already hard panned. What is going on? This has never happened to any of my other powders. I found a reddit thread about this and it seems it is a common issue with this powder.
That's so interesting. I thought it was my fault, so I just bought it again yesterday. I plan to not use it on "wetter" foundations, wait to powder until my final step. I hope that will help. But. I'll keep you updated.
You can find my skincare routine in my playlist "skin care & anti-aging" - I have day and night programs. I think the key is hydrating well with several essence toners before going in with moisturizer. I also use two moisterizers.
I was waiting for a review of the Kosas powder and you thankfully delivered ^^ Saie is a brand that's been on my radar for a while and that highlighter looks like a good replacement for the Chanel Les Beiges Fluid highlighter since that ne is a limited edition :( Heading to your instagram now
I am really disappointed with Kosas. I bought their bronzer less than 6 months ago, used it a couple of days ago and noticed it is smelling funky. Like a pungent wax crayons smell, and not is a nice way. I never noticed any smell before so I can only assume the product has gone off. There is lots of product left so its a complete waste of money. I am not minded to buy anymore of their products if they go off after 6 months.
@@TheHoodedLid Although I haven't found my Kjaer Weis products have suffered from this - but I know they will probably turn by the 12 month mark so I'm really using the cream products - which are great products in themselves. But who goes through a whole powder bronzer within 6 months? Kosas should make small volume sizes and lower their price if their products go off after 6 months. The bronzer is expensive at £32 here in the UK. Thats money straight down the loo!
My kosas bronzer has a smell too but when I was in Sephora their sample smelled also so maybe that’s just the smell it’s supposed to be. ? I had an issue with a kosas creme blush that went bad in six months and I emailed them and they actually sent me a New one !
@@makeupjunkie723 That's interesting. My bronzer definitely has a pungent smell that I've never noticed before so I suspect its gone off. I live in the UK so there's zero chance of being sent a replacement!!
You’re literally glowing! 💛 I have super dry skin and would love to see a comparison of the By Terry pressed powder vs the Kosas.
I just love the way you analyse the effects these cosmetics produce on your skin and the thoroughness of your reviews is just amazing!🥰❤️
Thank you so much, Marcella!
