But what about the demos on the sides of the tops of the demos? Huh? Where are those Alicia? Lazy lazy, frenzz! (LOLLL, to that one person who inevitably believes me, I am joking)
Hi there. Can you please do a review on the new LYS Beauty products? I love your product reviews especially complexion. I would love to see this new BOB get some love. Peace and blessings.
@@tee_jay1130 most definitely! I came home today from bae’s house, and was delighted to see that my LYS package arrived! Will work on a video over the weekend!
This look is stunning on you! The final look you had on for the most of your speaking - you looked almost sun kissed, but "later on that evening" vs "right out of the sun" - the colors on you are perfection. I ordered a few of these products the other day and hope to receive them tomorrow (I sure hope they work on me, I'm much more fair than you and got the nectar),
I am really enjoying how everything looks on your skin. FRESH! I agree, the contour and bronzer should be their focus for expansion followed by more foundation shades. I’m also anxious to see another lip compact or two.
Thank you, friend! For sure, because the contour formula is dope. I think the undertones for the foundations available now are lovely, and I look forward to more!
I watched a video where Gucci recommended using the highlighter lit up stick as a primer it looked gorgeous I’ve started slowly purchasing these items I just got my first package today!!! Great reviews thank you! You do such an in depth review it’s very helpful!
More people are allergic to plant oils, with their complex structures, than they are to silicone and other cosmetic bases that are tested, tried and formulated in the laboratory.
By far BEST review of Westman Atelier… and this look is to DIE FOR.. this is exactly how I want my daily makeup look to be. I also have allergies to 6 different metals and am allergic to all things processed so the clean aspect of the ingredients makes me happy. I’m all about coconut 🥥 oil. The skin just looks so healthy and fresh and was achieved so easily. I know it’s expensive but for me personally, I’m pretty sure it’s going to be worth it. I want all the products lol. I might need to sell my one of my kidneys to afford them but yeah. Great video! Thanks a lot!
Me: Oh I love the look of Peau de rosè Alicia: "My favorite is Peau de peêche" Me: same! same... must buy now 😂 your influence is real, love this video, couldn't wait to hear your opinion on this brand
Longtime lurker here, I just want to tell you how much I appreciate all of the effort you put into your content 👌🏽 So informative, I love all of your comparisons , opinions and overall your personality is golden. Thank you, thank you, thank you 💋
I'm one of those that have been using it since April 2019. Purchased all the available products (at the time) when I was diagnosed with Rosacea. This line is so gentle on my skin that I haven't bothered with anything else. I absolutely love it.
I was looking for information on this line from my youtube beauty gurus and this by far was the most informative, well researched, thorough walk through of their products available. Thank you so much Alicia! The work you do to prepare and present is so evident in everything you do. You helped me select the right Pat McGrath products, you helped me to understand so much of what is going on in the beauty industry today. I just want to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate you and all you do. On top of that, you are so thoroughly enjoyable to watch! I look forward to each new posting and also go back through your library often!
Super late to this video but I wanted to see someone closer to my skin color demoing Westan’s super loaded highlighter. This is such an incredibly thorough video and was so helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time! ❤
I'm watching and couldn't help but say that finally I understand where you are when the lighting is so warm and yellow, at bae's! I always thought it was your new camera in that one room, lol.
Thank you for another articulate, informative video. I recently purchased Poppet, Bichette (which I plan of using to give me a subtle hint of a faux sunburn effect going across my cheeks and nose), and Peau de Peche. I bought these items since I love luxury beauty and appreciated the aesthetic they would give me. I don’t view my other products as “dirty”, and there are times that I am conflicted in buying from green brands as I don’t agree with the fear mongering and false information that can be part of their marketing.
Loved the review 🥰 am i going to buy any? Nop, dont believe in "clean" makeup and the prices are just too much but don't condemn who doesn't have my opinion 😊 Thanks Alicia! 😍
OK frenzz! When Westman Atelier dropped at Sephora I decided to expand my collection so I bout the brulee lit up stick....to use as a glowy bronzer. If anyone is wondering, yes, it is beautiful as a glowy bronzer!!!!!! For reference I am the shade 150 Lace in the Shiseido, Aura in the Chantecaille Future Skin, Yukon in all the Nars foundations, Ivory Rose in Tom Ford.........so basically the literal pink shades (those are my no tan shades) so if you're of the lighter persuasion with or without a tan and you love a glowy bronzer, it works beautifully!
I also jumped on some of these products when I saw Sephora had them. I got the foundation stick, the contour stick and a blush. I like them so far! I too am not a fan of the fear-mongering that goes along with some of the clean beauty advertising - it was nice to hear you articulate the difference between "these ingredients are good" and "THOSE ingredients will give you cancer" and I wish people would cut it out with the latter!
Thank you for the detailed review! Everything looked so lovely and natural. I have tried out the foundation stick, and while I do prefer the Tom Ford one for longevity on my oily skin, I will say that the Westman Atelier one faded gracefully. Maybe because it's so sheer and skin-like to start with that even when it started to wear off, it wasn't terribly obvious unless I got really close up to a mirror. P.S. (b/c I know how you're into pronunciation) the -er in NetaPorter is pronounced like the letter A, just like in atelier. It's a play on pret-a-porter, which is French for ready to wear. So clever since they're an online retailer selling ready to wear.
Looking at my old school RCMA and French Il Macquiage cream foundations that only have like three ingredients, 100 shades, and cost a fraction of the price of these with new found love...Good to see you using your Kiyaki brushes. I've been using the mini base non-stop since I got it...
Thorough and systematic -- great w/ the sections. I like that. I also appreciate someone actually making sure to pronounce the French quite correctly (however you knew how). That shows respect for a language, and for others.
I so appreciate you, Alicia! I totally agree that the "clean" label means nothing and is just a marketing umbrella term that encourages fear mongering. That said, I actually own quite a few products from "clean" brands because I'm allergic to dimethicone. I do at least respect the brands who take the time to say exactly what they mean by "clean." But now I'm also checking for that Tom Ford stick foundation!
I LOVE how thorough you are. You always are so good at conveying the products performance and feel, I love how it's so easy for me to understand what exactly you're talking about. It's like being in class!
Um lovely 🧐??? can we try Stunning 😍 holy cow it’s all gorgeous on you . I have all these products and have been using this line since it came out . To be honest my skin looks better at the end of the day than when I wear no makeup. Could really put these products on with my eyes closed . Can also add more at the end of my day without looking yucky and caked up . Mature ladies should love these products too because it’s like skin care and makeup in one . So anti-aging!!!! This is the best review I’ve ever seen of Westman Atelier 🙋🏼♀️😳❤️
I was wondering about these products and how they blend. The price scared me. I am so grateful for your demo because now I can purchase a select few knowing the swatches on a similar skin tone.
I just tried the foundation and am loving it! I kind of went overboard and got most of her other products. I am super excited to try the tinted highlighter and lit stick! Thanks for your review!! Love watching your videos 😁
I loooovvvveee when you review MUA brands because you dedicate so much time into the vision and the goal in the products. This isn't Maybelline, designed for millions of consumers. It's a specific vision and one I appreciate watching grow and dabbling with where it works with my own aesthetic and vision.
I'm getting mixed messages on this foundation, You rave about about Chantecaille and Suqqu foundations and they are both more expensive and their shade selections are also not that great either.
I love the product and packaging. Just expand shades, especially the contour and bronzer. I am XI in the foundation, and Truffle contour works on me, but I do not think it will work on anything deeper. Bronzer barely shows very subtle.
More and more intrigued by this brand, mostly the foundation and contour sticks. I think these products would be high quality and convenient to carry when on the move.. Right now I don’t currently have anything like it. I feel the same way that you do about the label “ clean beauty “, mostly marketing. But these may be worth a try. Looked beautiful on you 😍
You look absolutely radiant with this makeup. I realize how old this video is but it was so helpful in making my choices! Love your videos, thank you so much!
WA contour in Biscuit is the first contour I’ve ever liked and used up. The two blushes in Petal (neutral pink) and Cochette (neutral peach) are exquisite. The formula is amazing. I also love the foundation (used only where needed) and the lip palette is wonderful for the customizable looks. Didn’t like the eye pods. I found them hard to work with, little color payoff, and needed to be set with something else to have them last at all, which is typically not a problem for me. I will not repurchase Peau de Peche and Peau de Rose. They are okay, but too shiny. Not crazy about the blue shift in Lit, but may try the new Nectar.
Thanks for your in depth and realistic breakdown and comparison, as always. You have such a gorgeous face, everything looks amazing on you but you don’t take that for granted and you assess things from a realistic, intelligent and every person perspective and I never tire of watching your vi-djee-ohs ! I really appreciate that and the effort you make to inform and educate your viewers. All the best from the land “Down Under”!
Me each time I hear the word "clean" associated with beauty: oh, shut it! we all know it's just a word that means absolutely nothing. Oh, sorry. It means money from naive people. Anyway, great video, Alicia!
I have had WA products since they came out but I couldn't stop watching your review. You really cover all the bases and provide relevant info. Very smart review.
omg, i don't care about the "green" and i think originally the idea was that the product would be refillable in the beautiful containers, but YOUR COMPLEXION looks so beautiful in this video. I am sold based on that alone. Luckily, one could get by with the foundation and blush, if one had to keep things rea$onable. If you stopped there, you look amazing. All the other things really add beautiful elements but ... the line is pricey. Hard decisions to be made... Thank you for this - you look beautiful!
Loved this video - took me 3 days to get through it (busy with work - I LOVE your longer videos!) and I love your deep dives into a brand or formulation. I 100% agree with you on the clean beauty branding and fear / scare marketing tactics 💪🏻💪🏻 You've also inspired me to dig out my Suqqu and slap on all the blush and eye shadows 🥰🥰🌟
Thanks dear for articulating your thoughts. I too don't appreciate fear mongering. Using westman blushes instead of eating broccoli and exercising of course sells....
As always Alicia your review is IMPECCABLE!! Thanks. This time I do not feel excited about these products, I think that other brands can do better than them and for me, they are sooo expensive and my conclusion is I can live without them!!
Great review Alicia! I personally don't like the eye pods so I think you made a good decision skipping those. The lip tint is nice but I rarely use mine. I really enjoy the items you chose and have amassed quite a collection now of the blushes. I need to try the bronzer still. For me, the foundation stick works really well and I love it a lot but the biggest draw is that it is a great color match for me which is always a challenge! She has some great products but like you, I don't buy into "clean" beauty and all of the claims made with these and similar products. I really love the demos you included here.
You look so effortlessly radiant! Love all the products on you. I love the Tom Ford foundation stick and was thinking to try this one but I may hold off for now. Thanks for a great review and fantastic swatches too xx
YES!!! Her Loaded Highlighter in Peau de Peche is my HG and I also use it as a blush. I love her foundation stick but there are better bronzers out there for way less. I have to try Dou Dou and I cracked up every time you said Dou Dou! You look radiant!
Everything looks gorgeous on you. I was seriously waiting on this video! I’ve already placed my order so my fingers are crossed in hopes that I love the products. I like it for times when I just want to pull a quick look together w/o doing too much.
Thank you for this video ! I love all the WA products but your demo is by far the best one I have seen using them... I have been a little intimidated using them but they are SO DAMN GORGEOUS -
This annoys me so much with clean beauty - the addition of fragrance and the shade range. Sephora did a new black owned clean beauty brand called LYS Beauty. I’m not into the whole “clean beauty” narrative anymore but I can appreciate these types of brands more when they actually create products with a more inclusive shade range. Thanks for the thorough review!
I agree. Sometimes to make a high quality product that is long lasting you need to use that old fashioned chemical stuff... if people want 100% clean they need to do things the ancient way with fruits and vegetables and henna and kohl and be satisfied with what they have even though its limited, oh well... Can't have everything in one product and have it be super clean, just cant..people are just never satisfied and way too demanding.
When I finish my Salt NY pan of cream bronzer (the shade is too light for me, which I think is hilarious), Danessa is up next. But for a contour or even a brontour the lightest shade isn't gray enough for my preferences. Since I'm an absolute blush lunatic, I like the greyer tones to give me sculpt but not compete with the blush. But I also have full on cream bronzer days. I really like Petal of the WA blushes, which I bought because dusty pink is not really a thing I own (except in like 5 pans of Natasha shadow), but it isn't dusty at all but more pinky brown and gives me Em Magic Hour/Tower 28 (I think still magic hour) vibes. I like how the blushes layer, either as a base for another cream blush or over powder. Debating my next cream contour life choice, whether to reup on WA or try something else. Hmmm
“Dissertation” 🤣 I completely agree with the clean beauty wording, should tell me what’s in it, what’s not. I love their cheek sticks and I love a good cream product! I do believe they are the luxury version of Glossier, meant for nominal makeup wearers that have good skin to begin with.
Such a thorough video on all the WA products. I think you purchased the best of all her products. Just wanted you to know they just came out with a darker all over buttery bronzer and they will be coming out with reusable packaging but no idea when. And yes opening those compacts can be a b...tch...lol
I think the soft pink look is so, so pretty on you. Only products I have from this line are blushes in Dou Dou and Bichette. They are stunning. My favorite blushes ever and I have never liked cream blush! I can be sensitive coconut oil but these don’t bother me.
Wow, what a thorough review; that was great. This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen so I will have to check out more. I have a foundation and blush stick which are now 12 months old and both still perform well, haven’t gone bad, plus I have the eye shadows. I do feel I have to buff the foundation into my skin more than Gucci does otherwise it tends to sit on top and take too long to mesh with my skin, it is buildable though. The blush is fab, the eyeshadows give a wash of colour. I am in my fifties and find the products to work really well on a more mature skin where less is more and I love the packaging so much that I’m happy to pay the hefty price for it. Thank you for your demos of her new products too, much appreciated.
Thank you for mentioning that the bronzer has talc and that the highlighter has fragrance. I don’t understand how any brand can claim to be clean when it has talc.
Wow! Great review. Agree about the contour. I have light skin with a very slight warm peach.undertone. I can get away with biscuit but would like something a little warmer. All said, I do like her face products. I was gifted her eye pods. Those just were not for me. Oh, I do find the Tom Ford stick foundation to be much longer lasting on my skin. I have to add, you always look amazing. And, you’re still my husband’s you tube crush! ☺️😘❤️
I put off watching this because I was afraid I'd want to buy the blush and I was right to be afraid. Fortunately, the line isn't available at Sephora Canada. As usual, you look beautiful. That blush is perfection.
Westman atelier brand over view is more informative, thank you for sharing your brief thoughts about this brand ,I am impressed with all the products you've shown in this video ,the price is high but the products are vegan so I can splurge some money on this brand looking forward to get the foundation stick,highlighter,blush stick ,cream bronzer, I always getting the vibe that the collections of merit brand is similar to westman atelier brand ,what is your opinion? thank you once again dear🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for another great review, I appreciate how thorough you always are🌷🌷🌷🌷 As you, I don't care about the so called "cleanliness" that everyone is on about now. What fascinates me about your look is that it's so natural and exactly how I believe makeup was intended to look in the beginning of time - Top Class, Ten Points✌
No shade. Have you ever considered shaving your cheeks? I am super hairy and thought someone was crazy when they told me they shave their face. But as soon as I started doing it. Any break outs I use to get monthly or sporadically for whatever reason just STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. my skin has been pimple free for at least a couple of years now and my overall skin tone looks better. Shaving my face has really improved my skin and is suppose to be a anti aging secret for women. I don’t wax because it breaks me out but shaving has been a god send addition to my beauty routine. Just don’t touch your sideburns they are so so so cute. And look beautiful 😻
I have! I think I need to learn how to do it, and be consistent about it. Do you also use tretinoin or other acid treatments? And if so, how does your skin feel?
Love the foundation stick! I use VIII as colour corrector for my under eye area and V in the centre of my face. I find V goes a bit darker 30 mins after application and it suits me perfectly. For reference, I use mama Pat's foundation in 14.
Love the title, and a great dissertation indeed! Now there is Merit, too?!? Such similar packaging and concept between the two but Merit is more affordable so if I try either it will be that 😁 💕💕💕
Alicia, I ordered the face duo from Rephr the other day when you had their restock linked in your video and it arrived today already! Super fast! These are my first natural hair face brushes. Very excited to use them
I have to say I was pretty skeptical of the "skin benefits" of the foundation stick but I can honestly say my skin looks better at the end of the day after i remove it than that morning before I put it on. Even my husband made a comment about it. I'm pretty sold on her products.
Wonderfully detailed and objective review, congrats. While I have and love Kjaer Weiss foundation and blushes, I picked up WA blush in Petal and Dou Dou because KJ's blushes lack those gorgeous colors, especially for winter. Comparing both, I prefer the Kjaer Weiss formula so I'm hoping they come out with more cool tone colors besides Reverence. Not sure about the Lit highlight stick and I will try putting it under foundation and blush to see all the different ways to use it. Love the Biscuit contour stick because it leans grey and not warm brown, thus more of the shadow you are looking for when it comes to contour. Will experiment with Peau de Peche more, and feel that Peau de Soleil suits a summer skin better, although I will try it as a neutral blush to see how that works. I'm realizing that I just don't like shiny stuff on my face.
All the demos, on top of all the demos 😅
Demos for days!! (Not complaining!)
Your videos are so amazing! I just love you!
But what about the demos on the sides of the tops of the demos? Huh? Where are those Alicia? Lazy lazy, frenzz! (LOLLL, to that one person who inevitably believes me, I am joking)
Hi there. Can you please do a review on the new LYS Beauty products? I love your product reviews especially complexion. I would love to see this new BOB get some love.

WA contour in Biscuit is the first contour I’ve ever liked and used up. The two blushes in Petal (neutral pink) and Cochette (neutral peach) are exquisite. The formula is amazing. I also love the foundation (used only where needed) and the lip palette is wonderful for the customizable looks. Didn’t like the eye pods. I found them hard to work with, little color payoff, and needed to be set with something else to have them last at all, which is typically not a problem for me. I will not repurchase Peau de Peche and Peau de Rose. They are okay, but too shiny. Not crazy about the blue shift in Lit, but may try the new Nectar.
Thanks for your in depth and realistic breakdown and comparison, as always. You have such a gorgeous face, everything looks amazing on you but you don’t take that for granted and you assess things from a realistic, intelligent and every person perspective and I never tire of watching your vi-djee-ohs ! I really appreciate that and the effort you make to inform and educate your viewers. All the best from the land “Down Under”!
The eye pods are HEAVEN!!! I got both sets!!!!!
Really!? Maybe I’ll pick them up during the next sale!
@@aliciaarcher yes! They are surprisingly beautiful since I know they look pretty plain! Ask Michele Wang! ❤️❤️❤️ beautiful video!!!
You look gorgeous! Great application, amazing review!
Me each time I hear the word "clean" associated with beauty: oh, shut it! we all know it's just a word that means absolutely nothing. Oh, sorry. It means money from naive people.
Anyway, great video, Alicia!
I have had WA products since they came out but I couldn't stop watching your review. You really cover all the bases and provide relevant info. Very smart review.
omg, i don't care about the "green" and i think originally the idea was that the product would be refillable in the beautiful containers, but YOUR COMPLEXION looks so beautiful in this video. I am sold based on that alone. Luckily, one could get by with the foundation and blush, if one had to keep things rea$onable. If you stopped there, you look amazing. All the other things really add beautiful elements but ... the line is pricey. Hard decisions to be made... Thank you for this - you look beautiful!
Loved this video - took me 3 days to get through it (busy with work - I LOVE your longer videos!) and I love your deep dives into a brand or formulation. I 100% agree with you on the clean beauty branding and fear / scare marketing tactics 💪🏻💪🏻 You've also inspired me to dig out my Suqqu and slap on all the blush and eye shadows 🥰🥰🌟
Been tangentially interested in GW for years. Thank you for demos!
Thanks dear for articulating your thoughts. I too don't appreciate fear mongering. Using westman blushes instead of eating broccoli and exercising of course sells....
Ufff can’t wait until spring Sephora sale starts!! 😩 I NEEEED peau de peche and a minette blush! 🤩😍🤤
Wow- great close ups and different lightings! Thank you!
As always Alicia your review is IMPECCABLE!! Thanks. This time I do not feel excited about these products, I think that other brands can do better than them and for me, they are sooo expensive and my conclusion is I can live without them!!
Love the Baby Cheeks blush & super loaded highlighters
I absolutely adore how thorough your reviews are!
Her brushes are made by Hakuhodo.
Interesting....love Hakuhodo brushes!👍
Ooooh!!
Great review Alicia! I personally don't like the eye pods so I think you made a good decision skipping those. The lip tint is nice but I rarely use mine. I really enjoy the items you chose and have amassed quite a collection now of the blushes. I need to try the bronzer still. For me, the foundation stick works really well and I love it a lot but the biggest draw is that it is a great color match for me which is always a challenge! She has some great products but like you, I don't buy into "clean" beauty and all of the claims made with these and similar products. I really love the demos you included here.
So excited for your review on the Westman Atelier!
Thank you for always giving us such detailed reviews. You rock!!! 👍🏼🥰
Thank you so much for watching!
I don’t understand her packaging. Why not design a more reusable product packaging.?
i heard that they’re coming out with reusable packaging this summer! 🧡
I’ve been wanting to try this line forever! I trust your reviews more than anyone’s Alicia! Thank you for this!
I appreciate your reviews SO much 💕 nothing beats a Kinky Sweat review
You look so effortlessly radiant! Love all the products on you. I love the Tom Ford foundation stick and was thinking to try this one but I may hold off for now. Thanks for a great review and fantastic swatches too xx
YES!!! Her Loaded Highlighter in Peau de Peche is my HG and I also use it as a blush. I love her foundation stick but there are better bronzers out there for way less. I have to try Dou Dou and I cracked up every time you said Dou Dou! You look radiant!
Everything looks gorgeous on you.
I was seriously waiting on this video! I’ve already placed my order so my fingers are crossed in hopes that I love the products. I like it for times when I just want to pull a quick look together w/o doing too much.
Thank you for this video ! I love all the WA products but your demo is by far the best one I have seen using them... I have been a little intimidated using them but they are SO DAMN GORGEOUS -
Another super detailed video. A dissertation indeed. I love these super in-depth reviews/critiques! Thank you :D
This annoys me so much with clean beauty - the addition of fragrance and the shade range. Sephora did a new black owned clean beauty brand called LYS Beauty. I’m not into the whole “clean beauty” narrative anymore but I can appreciate these types of brands more when they actually create products with a more inclusive shade range. Thanks for the thorough review!
I agree. Sometimes to make a high quality product that is long lasting you need to use that old fashioned chemical stuff... if people want 100% clean they need to do things the ancient way with fruits and vegetables and henna and kohl and be satisfied with what they have even though its limited, oh well... Can't have everything in one product and have it be super clean, just cant..people are just never satisfied and way too demanding.
“Dissertation” 🤣 I love their cheek sticks and I love a good cream product!
When I finish my Salt NY pan of cream bronzer (the shade is too light for me, which I think is hilarious), Danessa is up next. But for a contour or even a brontour the lightest shade isn't gray enough for my preferences. Since I'm an absolute blush lunatic, I like the greyer tones to give me sculpt but not compete with the blush. But I also have full on cream bronzer days. I really like Petal of the WA blushes, which I bought because dusty pink is not really a thing I own (except in like 5 pans of Natasha shadow), but it isn't dusty at all but more pinky brown and gives me Em Magic Hour/Tower 28 (I think still magic hour) vibes. I like how the blushes layer, either as a base for another cream blush or over powder. Debating my next cream contour life choice, whether to reup on WA or try something else. Hmmm
Chouchette, people. CHOUCHETTE!!!
“Dissertation” 🤣 I completely agree with the clean beauty wording, should tell me what’s in it, what’s not. I love their cheek sticks and I love a good cream product! I do believe they are the luxury version of Glossier, meant for nominal makeup wearers that have good skin to begin with.
Such a thorough video on all the WA products. I think you purchased the best of all her products. Just wanted you to know they just came out with a darker all over buttery bronzer and they will be coming out with reusable packaging but no idea when. And yes opening those compacts can be a b...tch...lol
I think the soft pink look is so, so pretty on you. Only products I have from this line are blushes in Dou Dou and Bichette. They are stunning. My favorite blushes ever and I have never liked cream blush! I can be sensitive coconut oil but these don’t bother me.
Wow, what a thorough review; that was great. This is the first video of yours that I have ever seen so I will have to check out more. I have a foundation and blush stick which are now 12 months old and both still perform well, haven’t gone bad, plus I have the eye shadows. I do feel I have to buff the foundation into my skin more than Gucci does otherwise it tends to sit on top and take too long to mesh with my skin, it is buildable though. The blush is fab, the eyeshadows give a wash of colour. I am in my fifties and find the products to work really well on a more mature skin where less is more and I love the packaging so much that I’m happy to pay the hefty price for it. Thank you for your demos of her new products too, much appreciated.
Thank you for mentioning that the bronzer has talc and that the highlighter has fragrance. I don’t understand how any brand can claim to be clean when it has talc.
Absolutely! And the qualifier "cosmetic talc" means nothing without proper oversight.
I love her line. So pretty. Love the look. Wow.
Great title👏👏 I really loved how you looked with everything on. So young and fresh✨✨✨
PS will you be getting Katie Jane Hughes brushes?
“You could chuck this at someone and they’re trouble” I personally ♥️ a multi-tasking makeup product 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing the knowledge! ♥️♥️♥️
Wow! Great review. Agree about the contour. I have light skin with a very slight warm peach.undertone. I can get away with biscuit but would like something a little warmer. All said, I do like her face products. I was gifted her eye pods. Those just were not for me. Oh, I do find the Tom Ford stick foundation to be much longer lasting on my skin. I have to add, you always look amazing. And, you’re still my husband’s you tube crush! ☺️😘❤️
I got peau de peche and YES the product and packaging are so beautiful!!! I feel like all luxury should aspire to the decadence of that compact wowwww
LOVE. Thanks so much for such an amazing, thorough, thoughtful review
I put off watching this because I was afraid I'd want to buy the blush and I was right to be afraid. Fortunately, the line isn't available at Sephora Canada. As usual, you look beautiful. That blush is perfection.
I have been waiting for someone to review this brand 🙂 thank you soooo much!!
I just love you! Your content is great and makes me laugh, too. 😄
Westman atelier brand over view is more informative, thank you for sharing your brief thoughts about this brand ,I am impressed with all the products you've shown in this video ,the price is high but the products are vegan so I can splurge some money on this brand looking forward to get the foundation stick,highlighter,blush stick ,cream bronzer, I always getting the vibe that the collections of merit brand is similar to westman atelier brand ,what is your opinion? thank you once again dear🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for another great review, I appreciate how thorough you always are🌷🌷🌷🌷
As you, I don't care about the so called "cleanliness" that everyone is on about now. What fascinates me about your look is that it's so natural and exactly how I believe makeup was intended to look in the beginning of time - Top Class, Ten Points✌
'Baby Blender' caught me off gaurd lol. beautiful as always alicia
A great view on clean beauty. Thanks for the dissertation, Alicia 😂
Thank you for going over this brand in great detail. I am all about the luxury packaging recently so I really appreciate your thoughts. 😍💖❤
No shade. Have you ever considered shaving your cheeks? I am super hairy and thought someone was crazy when they told me they shave their face. But as soon as I started doing it. Any break outs I use to get monthly or sporadically for whatever reason just STOPPED ALL TOGETHER. my skin has been pimple free for at least a couple of years now and my overall skin tone looks better. Shaving my face has really improved my skin and is suppose to be a anti aging secret for women. I don’t wax because it breaks me out but shaving has been a god send addition to my beauty routine. Just don’t touch your sideburns they are so so so cute. And look beautiful 😻
I have! I think I need to learn how to do it, and be consistent about it. Do you also use tretinoin or other acid treatments? And if so, how does your skin feel?
Love the foundation stick! I use VIII as colour corrector for my under eye area and V in the centre of my face. I find V goes a bit darker 30 mins after application and it suits me perfectly. For reference, I use mama Pat's foundation in 14.
Great video, it’s very helpful and informative. I was looking for a review before I buy and this is one of the best! Thanks
Love the title, and a great dissertation indeed! Now there is Merit, too?!? Such similar packaging and concept between the two but Merit is more affordable so if I try either it will be that 😁 💕💕💕
Alicia, I ordered the face duo from Rephr the other day when you had their restock linked in your video and it arrived today already! Super fast! These are my first natural hair face brushes. Very excited to use them
I have to say I was pretty skeptical of the "skin benefits" of the foundation stick but I can honestly say my skin looks better at the end of the day after i remove it than that morning before I put it on. Even my husband made a comment about it. I'm pretty sold on her products.
Wonderfully detailed and objective review, congrats. While I have and love Kjaer Weiss foundation and blushes, I picked up WA blush in Petal and Dou Dou because KJ's blushes lack those gorgeous colors, especially for winter. Comparing both, I prefer the Kjaer Weiss formula so I'm hoping they come out with more cool tone colors besides Reverence. Not sure about the Lit highlight stick and I will try putting it under foundation and blush to see all the different ways to use it. Love the Biscuit contour stick because it leans grey and not warm brown, thus more of the shadow you are looking for when it comes to contour. Will experiment with Peau de Peche more, and feel that Peau de Soleil suits a summer skin better, although I will try it as a neutral blush to see how that works. I'm realizing that I just don't like shiny stuff on my face.
