Why I watch Samantha Ravndahl: 1. Self-deprecating humor I can relate to. 2. Hoping she will say her last name because I am 100% sure I am not pronouncing it correctly. 3. To chuckle at her low-key dragging the industry or a brand. 4. To sigh any time she mentions getting older while nodding understandably. 5. For the makeup.
I don't know if she has danish in her family but it is a danish last name so you could proberbly go on translate from danish and hear that voice say it
My day was real shitty, straining day at work (i'm a waitress and i swear everybody was extra annoying today, but you have to smile through it and take their shit anyways) so i'm totally not in the mood to see any people or talk to anybody irl, so now i'm here, wearing cuddly clothes, sipping on a gin tonic and thanking the universe for you and your videos. Today you are the person making me feel like everythings alright, so thank you sam, stranger from the internet, for being the best part of my day today. What a weird world we live in, lol.
oh my god, I had THE WORST day at work today - I work at a drugstore - I was in the shittiest mood and every customer was getting on my nerves.. every once in a while you get these days.. Literally came home 1hour ago, just put my PJs on, now watching this video and stumbling upon this comment... made me smile xx
Yep same. Just finished my shitty ass shift, staffed like we were gonna be slammed but my work is in a parking lot that our mall is...therefore took me 20 minutes to park and that was the start of my day. I had one decent table. Now I’m curled up in bed at 5pm with my Red Bull nodding my head to u and everyone else who had to serve these shitty people on this shitty day 😂
I’m very much loving the more frequent uploads and longer videos. Whether you’re talking about life or makeup, I just appreciate your perspective and personality.
Love you're videos as of late. You seem even more down to earth, realistic and clear headed than you've ever been. Which I didnt think was possible because you were always the realest. I love the content recently ❤
And the way you feel about the foundation and not looking like Amrezy, is how I feel when I do my eyeshadow and don’t transform into you. So I feel your pain 🤦🏻♀️
Vegan reds stain and that is why they are considered non-eye safe by the FDA. It is the alternative to carminic which is made from cochineal beetles. So it is probably a vegan palette. Typically you only get staining if you use the vegan formula, but people who are extra sensitive can have an allergic reaction. If anyone has the palette, check to see if it says non-eye safe.
exactly! some palettes (like the Urban Decay Naked Heat) actually use both Red dyes and carmine in their palettes. Often you'll notice they will not label them as eyeshadows but as "pressed pigments". Legally, they are not allowed to direct the use of these dyes on the eyes because they cause staining, so they rename them as pigments to get around the legality
I may actually cry the day you reach 1 million subs on here. I feel like you’re on such a huge growth moment right now, I just feel it. It’s coming so soon. Ahhhh 😩♥️♥️♥️♥️
sam: **tries not to shade people as a general rule, because she is a professional-ass lady** also sam: "it's not that james isn't ... cool or whatever ...."
I’m watching all of your older videos because I’m so wondering why I didn’t find you sooner than a few months ago. This eye look is so stunning. 💚💕just gorgeous.
I would love to see you do a series where you look up the most purchased palettes of the last few years and use them. Not everyone can afford to buy new palettes constantly and influencers move on from palettes so quickly that you don't get the chance to see many looks. It would really encourage people to revisit the things they have rather than having to go out and buy the latest thing ❤️
I remember when you first talked about the dim infusion blush, I loved it too and was so excited someone else was talking about it. At this point I’m already on my second... and you know that blushes are an infinite pool. I can’t live without that god damn blush.
Sam!! I love you and your videos so much! Thank you for not blurring your beautiful face and showing your real skin. I have struggled with horomonal acne in the same areas that you have and I have very similar scars and texture, it is so refreshing to see. I LOVE YOU!!!
Arora Thorne acne is not caused by makeup. some breakouts can be, but acne is a chronic condition not caused by anything topically applied to the skin. dermatologists will tell you this. makeup makes no difference with my acne as long as i wash it off properly which people with acne are doing anyway.
Yep, never had a shadow stain my eyes, and I love red shadow. I don’t do morphe. I stay away from brands with controversy! I just feel like where there’s smoke, there’s fire, and my money is precious. I also enjoy higher quality.
Really loving your videos and the nice change of things. I feel like you’re the only one not doing the EXACT same thing as other TH-camrs. It’s just constant reviews now and I have found myself really looking forward to yours. I’m excited about the subscriber ones you’re working on!!🙂
I love how you address the fact that reviewing products kind of forces you to not use things more than once or twice, and I love that you are bringing things back out!
Do you still have the tartlet in bloom pallet? Because I feel like that’s a solid nude pallet that everyone had back in the day and no one uses. I’d love to see what you’d do with it now and maybe find some ways to spice it up.
"Oh, there's like a little pink eyelash stuck to it. Very nice. Okay. We'll just leave that there." 😂😂😂 I love you so much. This look is giving me Jem and the Holograms vibes. 💜
I deal with so much acne and scaring and I have always been obsessed with the look of very natural skin, the radiance and how it looks so healthy and I have tried over and over to achieve that, for so long and nothing ever worked for me until this video and my gosh I am obsessed. I finally found the perfect look that fits my skin and my scaring but still so natural! Tell your friend she is a absolute genius!!!!! IN LOVE!
As soon as you started teasing the palette I started shouting "ELECTRIC PALETTE" and woke the cat up. Plz apologize to Pete for disturbing his nap. thankyousomuch.
These eyes are EVERYTHING My holy grail is honestly Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. Use it on my lids to warm up my eyes when im lazy, use it as a transition shade for cut creases, use it to contour my cheekbones. And the packaging is so light but sturdy I never have to stress about travelling with it.
Have you tried Nars Fort de France? I, too, cannot handle powder highlighters. I usually go back and forth between Hourglass Champagne Flash and Glossier Quartz and the Marc Jacobs one that looks like a deodorant lmao BUT I tried Nars Fort de France because everyone says it's a softer version of the ABH Amrezy highlighter and um yes the fuck it is. It's soooo soft and smooth like when I swatched it, my finger literally slipped off my hand LMAO. It has such a light glow... A gentle sheen... It gives you the look of "am I wearing highlighter? or am I just incredibly healthy and hydrated and perfect like an angel?"
Yes!!! I think about Fort de France fondly many times during the day, it's quite disturbing. It's so damn shiny and makes me look so sweaty (which is my jam). I just bought Albatross as well since I'm pretty fair, but honestly Fort de France still has my heart.
Hey Sam! New subscriber! My mom and I have been binge watching you since I found you! My mom is in hospice and fell back in love with makeup. Ive been purchasing makeup and skincare for her, but was wondering if you had any suggestions for makeup or skincare for me. We both ADORE you and have LOVED watching you. You are so down to earth and an incredible artist. We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You.
@@samantharavndahl omg! I can't believe you replied ❤❤ Anti aging, brightening and some new makeup releases. I just want to make her remaining time as special as possible. We have binged watched your videos. Love that you are in Canada too. We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You
I really appreciate you "dabbling in your arsenal." For lots of reasons, but mostly because I have only been in the TH-cam world for 2-3 years and so many things that were raved about then and I scurried to buy no one uses anymore and I'm stuck having spent the money and unsure how to use. This is my highest compliment- although it may not seem like it - but you march to your own drumbeat and I love you for that.
I think part of the reason people got so defensive of him was because of her delivery. I generally tend to shut down when I listen to someone whose whole self-defined shtick is ranting. I automatically (1) assume you are looking for faults in everything ever, (2) exaggerate the shit out of every genuine complaint you have, and (3) express every complaint as a personal attack vs constructive criticism. Even though a lot of what she said made sense, her delivery was SO off-putting that I was never gonna be on "her side."
Ali Son I agree. Have you seen her other rants? Some are funny... but some seem like they’re made just to stir up something. I agree that there should have been more of a disclaimer regarding the pressed pigments vs eyeshadows, but even if the rant was supposed to come off as slight satire, it was 100% annoying, in my opinion. And I don’t particularly care for morphe either.
Carolyn Williams 100% agree. even if her complaint was valid, which i dont believe it was, it was lost because of how blatantly obvious it was she’s looking for her second post-tanacon viral moment.
What I can't stop using? I am absolutely obsessed with all of the eyeshadow palettes that I have recently found from Indie brands! Certifeye, Blush Tribe, Strobe, September Rose, Devinah (singles), Meesha Lou, Juvia's Place (found a while ago, but still Indy).... the quality from these brands has been so great. And they're all quite different formulas, none of which have disappointed me.
You should check out Hannah Louise Poston's mono-chromatic makeup tag video and participate in the challenge! I feel like it's right up your alley!! She's doing a no-buy year, so all of her videos are so creative and insightful!
Have you tried the L’Oréal pro glow foundation??? Honestly I feel like you would adore it- just make sure to shake well otherwise you get little white dots that you have to work to blend out
I love your Content so much at the moment! I'm so excited to see what products you will use in your videos. I honestly get so sick of scrolling through my subscriptions and get so sick of seeing 744287474892220 youtubers using the same palette. Yay for throwing it back 😁
Girl you're literally the only beauty youtuber I watch anymore. You're so down to earth, your content is great, well thought out, unbiased and the fact that you're able to critically think about the industry and products is so refreshing. Thanks for keeping it real Sam ❤
Wow I love this look! and I love how you're using old favourites and encouraging us to be creative with what we have all ready have! Such an inspiration! Literally never comment, but can not help myself when it comes to your videos, you're just so great!
okay for real i love this energy u brought to this video i finally feel like i have someone on youtube to watch who i can keep up with who doesnt talk 0.2 words per min but also u feel kinda manic ? love u sam !
I love you so much. I didnt know my kids were in the room and you said a bad word and my kids ran to my husband and said "mom is listening to bad words" i laughed so hard cause they cant listen to channela with bad words. I was like i f'n love sam so i put on head phones. Lol love you so much.
I can honestly say these are the most satisfying videos I've seen from you. I love seeing old products & you're being so creative with them, which is what made me fall in love with your channel in the first place.
Oh man the electric palette was literally my everyday eyeshadow palette back in 2015 I think?? I had purple hair and wore bright ass eyeshadow. Still can’t get rid of it 😅
I'm so down for being along for this journey you're on. I respect the fact that when you did your no more PR video the fact that you could admit that you weren't doing this to make people think your holier than thow and all other means of BS that a lot of other influencers like to use (normally only after jumping on a bandwagon). I think it's important that consumers actually know what goes into PR. I am in no way against PR, I've received PR and it was lovely, but I'm nobody so they are few and far between and I'm always grateful, but the constant over the top 100 packages a week for you guys is a lot. It's also crazy how big the waste is when you consider how many people receive PR and how many companies send PR. I would love to know how much waste is contributed per year by just beauty community PR packages. Just a thought. Loved this video though! I want to do this now!
In the interim, everyone remember to go to your inbox rules before the holidays and set everything with "Black Friday" or "sale" to go straight to your trash file. 😊
I am so enjoying the no waste/sustainable/no PR/using up what you have already stuff you've been doing! Way to go, and know that I was a casual watcher before, but you've made me a loyal fan!
red/pinks etc don't stain when they're not vegan - they have carmine in. the vegan ones tend to stain bcos its red dye that stains. With vegan becoming more popular, obviously more brands are trying to be vegan and this is the result. When they stain bcos its dye and not carmine, theyre not actually classed as eyeshadows - they're pressed pigments which is what he disclosed in the vid. (i literally watched Kristie's vid on this and I'm just repeating what she said lmao)
I love that this video was no frills as far as music, editing, lighting, etc. goes. I’ve only been subscribed for like 4 years, but you never get old to me! Thanks for keeping it real 👊
I agree with you 100% on James’ reaction , if it were me, I would be so worried about someone having such a bad reaction. THAT should have been what he addressed.
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS THESE DAYS! I recently cleaned out all of my expired products and have literally 1 little basket of items that I use now!! The hourglass blush is one! Nars laguna bronzer, Becca Opal highlight, boy brow, ABH brow pencil. Love seeing all these classics mentioned in your video!
I hope this doesn’t make you feel old but I’ve been watching your channel since I was like 7 years old and I would have to turn the volume way down bc I didn’t want my parents to hear you swear and btw the MUFE flash palette video is still one of my favorites and also that teal eye with the neon coral in the middle was iconic
I feel like if I had a spirit animal, Sam, you would be it. Your dry humor and sarcasm literally make your already fantastic videos so much better. Thank you for cursing when you love your makeup. It’s nice to know I’m not alone on that. XOXOXOXO
One thing that I love that I keep going back to over and over, you ask? Too Faced Natural Face palette. I never get tired of it. So pretty, and I always get compliments when I use it. I love mixing some of the shades and making my own concoctions. :)
I’ve found a powder highlight routine that I really like lately. With every look I’ve been using the pure nude highlight from essence. I apply it generously to my upper cheeks and then I take a more intense blinding highlight and add a little bit at the very tops of my cheekbones. The essence one is so beautiful and natural so it really enhances the more intense highlight and makes it all mesh together with the skin.
Love your content and how you keep your video ideas fresh and unique. You’re one of the few influencers I still watch since everyone is the same nowadays you’re like a breath of fresh air ✨
Gah this was fun. I adore when you do colourful, graphic, or otherwise 'artsy' looks. Inspo for years. And yeah I think electric palette is the only thing that's stained me. I use Sugarpill shadows almost daily, and have never had them stain.
My ride or die I can never seem to break up with (not that I'd want to) is the Too Faced matte Just Peachy palette. So many look options and I love me an all matte eye look every now and again.
omg when you were like "only og subscribers will know what palette" i was like... "NO WAY URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE" im so happy i got that right lmao
Please oh please do more videos just like this. I love it. Using products in your collection because you have them instead of going out and buying new shit constantly. I, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
YESSS UD ELECTRIC PALETTE!!! I’ve been riding for you since the Batalash Beauty days and when I finally bought the electric palette, waaay back like three Or four years ago, yours was the first and only tutorial I watched for it and I recreated your look where you did the purple/pink crease and green lid with it EVERY. TIME. I. DID. MY. EYESHADOW. You were my first favorite TH-camr/beauty influencer and your page has always felt like home since then 😭
I know that chick really went overboard with her rant to/about James and the palette, but people are also acting like James isn't arrogant as f. And it's not the first time he's snapped back at someone and been rude as hell. It's not a good look and it's annoying that so many people are willing to give him a pass on his behavior. If how that chick acted in her rants isn't acceptable, then the way James responded (and has responded in other situations) isn't acceptable either. Also, what bothers me more about the staining factor of the palette is how you basically have to watch a how-to guide in order to use the damn thing...use this base, apply this color with this technique, apply this other color with this other technique. No hate to him, but he shouldn't get so offended when people say negative things. That is to be expected... /rant.
@@garzaze673 oh man :-( it sucks that influencers who don't rave on the collars automatically get so much hate, assuming that's the reason why. I think it's fair to say we (sam's viewer's at least) need and appreciate honesty and candidness in reviews
Brenda Tan i think it’s more because of influencer’s audience can come to watch the video and if they don’t like the review they can create a bad environment to sam’s videos. it’s not that sam’s subscribers wouldn’t appreciate her content it’s others that wouldn’t.
I use Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting Powder as my bronzer because I bought it in the summer and it is now much too dark to set my face on my pale skin. It is so beautiful and perfect for a subtle winter bronzer!
In my experience if I don’t let the too faced hangover dry down completely and give it a few minutes my foundation application is always a disaster. It peels off. 😅
I’ve been meaning to comment on a few of your most recent uploads to mention the Josie Maran Vibrancy concealer! It’s sooo good and hydrating w/ awesome coverage. Can’t go wrong. 🙏 happy you put it out there and it’s now officially Samantha approved. Not enough people talk about that little gem! Also loved the look
OH HELL YES 👏🏽 I watched your “no mor pr” video when I was cooking thanksgiving yesterday and while I don’t receive pr, I do feel like I buy more than I need... even as a working artist. So you have inspired me to dig thru and find old gems AND THEN you throw this beautiful video down today and I’m loving your “rediscovered” look 🤩 Can’t wait to see what’s to come! 🙏🏽😘
I loveeeeeee the Fenty Beauty Gloss that you used. When I got it I think I applied it like 4 or 5 times a day every day just bc of how nice it was and the smell. Omg it smells so good and yeah. Lol.
John Vogt what does it smell like? I’m sensitive to fragrance and I feel like all glosses try to smell like a vanilla sweet/cupcake cinnamon bun. I don’t want my makeup to smell like food. It makes me a little nauseous. It looks beautiful.
S C it’s really hard to describe the smell. It’s like fruity but not like anything I’ve ever smelled before lol. Idk sorry I’m not much help. It’s really something you need to smell in person. It has a unique smell. It’s like a mix of a bunch of fruits put together to create a mix of smells. 🤷🏻♂️
I absolutely love your videos, your sense of humor and how down to earth you seem just makes me smile and idk you're so relatable and I love watching your videos Sam. Also I have been loving the Tarte creaseless concealer for my under eyes and wet n wild photo focus pressed powder to set it. The combination just looks absolutely flawless and I've tried so many other concealers and powders and nothing looks as good
I think it's the ingredients vegan brands use to get those pink, purple, and red shades that stain. Either way morphe should have said something and not assume that everyone knows that. Even the warning on the pallete was different then any other brand
Carlie Morgan right but not everyone knows that means it could stain. i hadn’t heard of that until manny came out w his palette and said that it was a possibility. i was surprised james never mentioned it
Exactly they don't choose people like for example Sam to endorse their products. She doesn't have that cloud of drama that surrounds James or Jacklyn. We as consumers need to start being picky about what we choose and who we choose to support.
It's hilarious that people even use those pigments and defend the staining. There are amazing shadows with workable shades that are actually ok to use on the eyes. Silly people 😋
Your videos just make me happy. Old school product that I’ve loved since I started makeup I actually think it was one of the first high end product I got is Mac paint pots as an eyeshadow base. Like 10 years later I still use it all the time and even on others.
Sooo Sam I might have a problemos.... I kinda or really am addicted to you. You are like a makeup goddess to me. If you ever need people to fight off mafia just holla at me
My very favourite product that I’ve used day in day out for the last 19 years is my MAC 266 angled liner brush. The ferrule is starting to get a bit rusty but it still works really well. I bought it in the final year of my PhD, along with Club, Patina and Studio Fix powder foundation, which all formed my millennium party look. Since then I’ve become a make-up nerd and my collection has expanded considerably but that brush is still my favourite. This was a fantastic video and the timing was great as I’m just sorting out my makeup cupboard and putting together my everyday make-up bag. Have a great weekend! Loads of love to you Sam ❤️💋💋xx
@@allisonhogarth2983 I loved seeing a bigger channel do something like it, but would still love to see her do a project pan for the new year.. even if it's just a few products, really use them up!
THANK YOU for being a beauty influencer with acne. I realize that's a weird thing to say, but like all these influencers with perfect skin and blown-out lighting are NOT showing us the reality of what they look like. I'm so glad that I can see what you ACTUALLY look like!
I was always a MAC shadow girl ever since I started wearing makeup in high school in the early 90’s. Why DID we turn our backs on MAC? They never do me wrong.
ummm yea wanted to add you until you started dropping the f bomb over and over.....no need for all that.....
Jean Long i’ll always remember you as the subscriber that could have been
Hahahah she can't handle the Sam fam
jean long was cut short. 🤣🤣🤣 buhyeeeee
OMG for f bomb sakes "Jean love you Long time".
In another life, I would make you stay
So I don’t have to say you were the one that got away
Why I watch Samantha Ravndahl:
1. Self-deprecating humor I can relate to.
2. Hoping she will say her last name because I am 100% sure I am not pronouncing it correctly.

Kinda late on this, but I think I’ve heard her say her last name a few times in previous videos. I think it’s pronounced rah-ven-doll
I don't know if she has danish in her family but it is a danish last name so you could proberbly go on translate from danish and hear that voice say it
“Maybe I need to work on applying less? Don’t know her. Never met her.” I FELT THAT

I finally found the perfect look that fits my skin and my scaring but still so natural! Tell your friend she is a absolute genius!!!!! IN LOVE!
As soon as you started teasing the palette I started shouting "ELECTRIC PALETTE" and woke the cat up. Plz apologize to Pete for disturbing his nap. thankyousomuch.
Simone MacLennan I got so excited when she brought it out too 😆
These eyes are EVERYTHING
My holy grail is honestly Too Faced Chocolate Soleil bronzer. Use it on my lids to warm up my eyes when im lazy, use it as a transition shade for cut creases, use it to contour my cheekbones. And the packaging is so light but sturdy I never have to stress about travelling with it.
Have you tried Nars Fort de France? I, too, cannot handle powder highlighters. I usually go back and forth between Hourglass Champagne Flash and Glossier Quartz and the Marc Jacobs one that looks like a deodorant lmao BUT I tried Nars Fort de France because everyone says it's a softer version of the ABH Amrezy highlighter and um yes the fuck it is. It's soooo soft and smooth like when I swatched it, my finger literally slipped off my hand LMAO. It has such a light glow... A gentle sheen... It gives you the look of "am I wearing highlighter? or am I just incredibly healthy and hydrated and perfect like an angel?"
I got it! I didn’t believe the hype but the hype was warranted!!
Best highlighter ever!
If i recall correctly she used that in a video a while back
Yes!!! I think about Fort de France fondly many times during the day, it's quite disturbing. It's so damn shiny and makes me look so sweaty (which is my jam). I just bought Albatross as well since I'm pretty fair, but honestly Fort de France still has my heart.
@@caitlin6366 have you tried nars capri? i think that's the inbetween color.
This series where you’re trying to use more of the things you have is SO DAMN REFRESHING! You go girl
Hey Sam! New subscriber! My mom and I have been binge watching you since I found you! My mom is in hospice and fell back in love with makeup. Ive been purchasing makeup and skincare for her, but was wondering if you had any suggestions for makeup or skincare for me. We both ADORE you and have LOVED watching you. You are so down to earth and an incredible artist. We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You.
Melanie Goldberg hiii! Thanks for the love to you and your momma! What’s your skin concerns?
@@samantharavndahl omg! I can't believe you replied ❤❤ Anti aging, brightening and some new makeup releases. I just want to make her remaining time as special as possible. We have binged watched your videos. Love that you are in Canada too. We ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ You
@@samantharavndahl I dmed you as well on Instagram just to thank you for being such a down to earth, beautiful person ❤❤
Melanie Goldberg I love the Drunk Elephant TLC Framboos night serum! Makes your skin so glowy and smooth.
@@samantharavndahl thank you for the suggestion! I really appreciate it. Ill buy it for her and try it out ❤❤❤❤❤
I really appreciate you "dabbling in your arsenal." For lots of reasons, but mostly because I have only been in the TH-cam world for 2-3 years and so many things that were raved about then and I scurried to buy no one uses anymore and I'm stuck having spent the money and unsure how to use. This is my highest compliment- although it may not seem like it - but you march to your own drumbeat and I love you for that.
I think part of the reason people got so defensive of him was because of her delivery. I generally tend to shut down when I listen to someone whose whole self-defined shtick is ranting. I automatically (1) assume you are looking for faults in everything ever, (2) exaggerate the shit out of every genuine complaint you have, and (3) express every complaint as a personal attack vs constructive criticism. Even though a lot of what she said made sense, her delivery was SO off-putting that I was never gonna be on "her side."
Ali Son I agree. Have you seen her other rants? Some are funny... but some seem like they’re made just to stir up something. I agree that there should have been more of a disclaimer regarding the pressed pigments vs eyeshadows, but even if the rant was supposed to come off as slight satire, it was 100% annoying, in my opinion. And I don’t particularly care for morphe either.
Completely agree.
Carolyn Williams 100% agree. even if her complaint was valid, which i dont believe it was, it was lost because of how blatantly obvious it was she’s looking for her second post-tanacon viral moment.
What I can't stop using? I am absolutely obsessed with all of the eyeshadow palettes that I have recently found from Indie brands! Certifeye, Blush Tribe, Strobe, September Rose, Devinah (singles), Meesha Lou, Juvia's Place (found a while ago, but still Indy).... the quality from these brands has been so great. And they're all quite different formulas, none of which have disappointed me.
You should check out Hannah Louise Poston's mono-chromatic makeup tag video and participate in the challenge! I feel like it's right up your alley!! She's doing a no-buy year, so all of her videos are so creative and insightful!
Yes! Love Hannah and I think Sam would do a kick ass look.
Thank you for this! Just found her and checked out her Black Friday video. She is awesome. :)
I’m doing a no-buy year for 2019 too... I’m gonna go follow her!
I found Hannah around May I think and she is by far my favorite TH-camr now. Just love her.
I think I watch your videos for comic relief you make me laugh and my favorite thing is make up so I have the best of both worlds watching you!
Have you tried the L’Oréal pro glow foundation??? Honestly I feel like you would adore it- just make sure to shake well otherwise you get little white dots that you have to work to blend out
I love your Content so much at the moment! I'm so excited to see what products you will use in your videos. I honestly get so sick of scrolling through my subscriptions and get so sick of seeing 744287474892220 youtubers using the same palette. Yay for throwing it back 😁
Girl you're literally the only beauty youtuber I watch anymore. You're so down to earth, your content is great, well thought out, unbiased and the fact that you're able to critically think about the industry and products is so refreshing.
Thanks for keeping it real Sam ❤
Why is this the first time you’ve shown up in my recommended, Honestly you’re VERY amusing to watch wow, I’m shooketh (tm)
Lithunium Snow I just found her too! She’s so funny!
Wow I love this look! and I love how you're using old favourites and encouraging us to be creative with what we have all ready have! Such an inspiration! Literally never comment, but can not help myself when it comes to your videos, you're just so great!
Sam.... Two words for another tutorial..... "NARS, PERSIA" ...... Bring it out again Sam!!!! I bought that shade because of you!!
I wanted Persia more than anything in the world because of Sam lol
i’m loving that samantha is getting back into color and really getting out of her comfort zone with some artistic looks! love you sam!
Sam I love this look and I love that you went out of your comfortzone to try out new things. I wish more did this!
Yesss. Dim Infusion is my favorite blush of all time. LOVE.
This look makes me appreciate how effortless your current makeup aesthetic is nowadays. This is some modernized 2000’s realness.
okay for real i love this energy u brought to this video i finally feel like i have someone on youtube to watch who i can keep up with who doesnt talk 0.2 words per min but also u feel kinda manic ? love u sam !
I love you so much. I didnt know my kids were in the room and you said a bad word and my kids ran to my husband and said "mom is listening to bad words" i laughed so hard cause they cant listen to channela with bad words. I was like i f'n love sam so i put on head phones. Lol love you so much.
Same!! My kid told me I had to change it...🤦😂
i’m loving the eyeshadow. i love how much you feel yourself in your videos.
“Basically if ur not hip with the kids” 😂😂😂 I’m not Sam but I am now
Hoo Me my thoughts exactly!
I can honestly say these are the most satisfying videos I've seen from you. I love seeing old products & you're being so creative with them, which is what made me fall in love with your channel in the first place.
Oh man the electric palette was literally my everyday eyeshadow palette back in 2015 I think?? I had purple hair and wore bright ass eyeshadow.
Still can’t get rid of it 😅
Not a lot of TH-camrs are half as genuine as you and it makes me love your channel so much
I'm so down for being along for this journey you're on. I respect the fact that when you did your no more PR video the fact that you could admit that you weren't doing this to make people think your holier than thow and all other means of BS that a lot of other influencers like to use (normally only after jumping on a bandwagon). I think it's important that consumers actually know what goes into PR. I am in no way against PR, I've received PR and it was lovely, but I'm nobody so they are few and far between and I'm always grateful, but the constant over the top 100 packages a week for you guys is a lot. It's also crazy how big the waste is when you consider how many people receive PR and how many companies send PR. I would love to know how much waste is contributed per year by just beauty community PR packages. Just a thought. Loved this video though! I want to do this now!
you seem so genuinely happy throughout this video!!! I love it!! you're glowing
I volunteer to be your new intern, I love unsubscribing from mailing lists.
Same! It feels like I am liberating my life from the burden of capitalism.
Oooh can I hire one of you! Is a commute to the east coast of Australia too much to ask of an intern?
In the interim, everyone remember to go to your inbox rules before the holidays and set everything with "Black Friday" or "sale" to go straight to your trash file. 😊
I love watching Sam do her eyeshadow. Its not a technique that i would adopt but it is so fascinating and interesting to see how detailed she is!!!
"I DO DECLARE"
LMAO LMAO SAM. DOES ANYONE ELSE GET THE REFERENCE?!?
Blair st clair
RuPauls?
It's from the office xD
I'm not going down for this!! 🤣
I am so enjoying the no waste/sustainable/no PR/using up what you have already stuff you've been doing! Way to go, and know that I was a casual watcher before, but you've made me a loyal fan!
red/pinks etc don't stain when they're not vegan - they have carmine in. the vegan ones tend to stain bcos its red dye that stains. With vegan becoming more popular, obviously more brands are trying to be vegan and this is the result. When they stain bcos its dye and not carmine, theyre not actually classed as eyeshadows - they're pressed pigments which is what he disclosed in the vid.
(i literally watched Kristie's vid on this and I'm just repeating what she said lmao)
I love that this video was no frills as far as music, editing, lighting, etc. goes. I’ve only been subscribed for like 4 years, but you never get old to me! Thanks for keeping it real 👊
I agree with you 100% on James’ reaction , if it were me, I would be so worried about someone having such a bad reaction. THAT should have been what he addressed.
I LOVE ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS THESE DAYS! I recently cleaned out all of my expired products and have literally 1 little basket of items that I use now!! The hourglass blush is one! Nars laguna bronzer, Becca Opal highlight, boy brow, ABH brow pencil. Love seeing all these classics mentioned in your video!
I hope this doesn’t make you feel old but I’ve been watching your channel since I was like 7 years old and I would have to turn the volume way down bc I didn’t want my parents to hear you swear and btw the MUFE flash palette video is still one of my favorites and also that teal eye with the neon coral in the middle was iconic
Actually like 10 years old lmao
I feel like if I had a spirit animal, Sam, you would be it. Your dry humor and sarcasm literally make your already fantastic videos so much better. Thank you for cursing when you love your makeup. It’s nice to know I’m not alone on that. XOXOXOXO
I'm not "hip with the kids" so I thank you for keeping me current. ✌
Lime & fuchsia/purple - my favourite colour combo!
Just errmm .. go for it
Great branding. Who is Nike. I like this relatable hesitant motivation
One thing that I love that I keep going back to over and over, you ask? Too Faced Natural Face palette. I never get tired of it. So pretty, and I always get compliments when I use it. I love mixing some of the shades and making my own concoctions. :)
I feel so much affection towards you and it’s inexplicable. You’re like my spirit animal made incarnate.
I’ve found a powder highlight routine that I really like lately. With every look I’ve been using the pure nude highlight from essence. I apply it generously to my upper cheeks and then I take a more intense blinding highlight and add a little bit at the very tops of my cheekbones. The essence one is so beautiful and natural so it really enhances the more intense highlight and makes it all mesh together with the skin.
Jesus your description box 😂😂 I cant with you Sam!
Love your content and how you keep your video ideas fresh and unique. You’re one of the few influencers I still watch since everyone is the same nowadays you’re like a breath of fresh air ✨
Gah this was fun. I adore when you do colourful, graphic, or otherwise 'artsy' looks. Inspo for years. And yeah I think electric palette is the only thing that's stained me. I use Sugarpill shadows almost daily, and have never had them stain.
My ride or die I can never seem to break up with (not that I'd want to) is the Too Faced matte Just Peachy palette. So many look options and I love me an all matte eye look every now and again.
omg when you were like "only og subscribers will know what palette" i was like... "NO WAY URBAN DECAY ELECTRIC PALETTE" im so happy i got that right lmao
Please oh please do more videos just like this. I love it. Using products in your collection because you have them instead of going out and buying new shit constantly. I, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
My undereyes sure are looking a little Saharan.... I lost it 🤣
YESSS UD ELECTRIC PALETTE!!! I’ve been riding for you since the Batalash Beauty days and when I finally bought the electric palette, waaay back like three Or four years ago, yours was the first and only tutorial I watched for it and I recreated your look where you did the purple/pink crease and green lid with it EVERY. TIME. I. DID. MY. EYESHADOW.
You were my first favorite TH-camr/beauty influencer and your page has always felt like home since then 😭
I know that chick really went overboard with her rant to/about James and the palette, but people are also acting like James isn't arrogant as f. And it's not the first time he's snapped back at someone and been rude as hell. It's not a good look and it's annoying that so many people are willing to give him a pass on his behavior. If how that chick acted in her rants isn't acceptable, then the way James responded (and has responded in other situations) isn't acceptable either. Also, what bothers me more about the staining factor of the palette is how you basically have to watch a how-to guide in order to use the damn thing...use this base, apply this color with this technique, apply this other color with this other technique. No hate to him, but he shouldn't get so offended when people say negative things. That is to be expected... /rant.
So gorgeous! Love these kinds of videos when you rediscover older products, doesn’t make me feel like I need to go out and buy new things.
“Miami isn’t a color” 🤣🤣🤣
came to the comments to say the same thing. sam is fucking hilarious.
Would love to see you review Kathleenlight's Dream St and Zodiac palette!
Brenda Tan she said she’s no longer reviewing influencer collabs sadly
@@garzaze673 oh man :-( it sucks that influencers who don't rave on the collars automatically get so much hate, assuming that's the reason why. I think it's fair to say we (sam's viewer's at least) need and appreciate honesty and candidness in reviews
She won't be doing influencers collabs, which is understandable. But I'm here to tell you I use that palette almost every day! It's one of my faves.
I meant to say I use both palettes almost daily. They're both great!
Brenda Tan i think it’s more because of influencer’s audience can come to watch the video and if they don’t like the review they can create a bad environment to sam’s videos. it’s not that sam’s subscribers wouldn’t appreciate her content it’s others that wouldn’t.
I use Hourglass Dim Light Ambient Lighting Powder as my bronzer because I bought it in the summer and it is now much too dark to set my face on my pale skin. It is so beautiful and perfect for a subtle winter bronzer!
In my experience if I don’t let the too faced hangover dry down completely and give it a few minutes my foundation application is always a disaster. It peels off. 😅
really? I never had that happen
same experience for me, it gets so weird on my skin lol. i’ve never heard anyone say they’ve had that happen too!
Omg same! Thought I was losing my mind cause everyone was losing it over that primer and it would clump and peel on me...
Amy Loves Makeup I’ve had that issue as well!
Same!! I replaced it with the Becca First Light primer and i like that one a lot more!
I’ve been meaning to comment on a few of your most recent uploads to mention the Josie Maran Vibrancy concealer! It’s sooo good and hydrating w/ awesome coverage. Can’t go wrong. 🙏 happy you put it out there and it’s now officially Samantha approved. Not enough people talk about that little gem! Also loved the look
I am here for the 1999 Barbie dream house 😂
OH HELL YES 👏🏽 I watched your “no mor pr” video when I was cooking thanksgiving yesterday and while I don’t receive pr, I do feel like I buy more than I need... even as a working artist. So you have inspired me to dig thru and find old gems AND THEN you throw this beautiful video down today and I’m loving your “rediscovered” look 🤩 Can’t wait to see what’s to come! 🙏🏽😘
I loveeeeeee the Fenty Beauty Gloss that you used. When I got it I think I applied it like 4 or 5 times a day every day just bc of how nice it was and the smell. Omg it smells so good and yeah. Lol.
John Vogt what does it smell like? I’m sensitive to fragrance and I feel like all glosses try to smell like a vanilla sweet/cupcake cinnamon bun. I don’t want my makeup to smell like food. It makes me a little nauseous. It looks beautiful.
S C it’s really hard to describe the smell. It’s like fruity but not like anything I’ve ever smelled before lol. Idk sorry I’m not much help. It’s really something you need to smell in person. It has a unique smell. It’s like a mix of a bunch of fruits put together to create a mix of smells. 🤷🏻♂️
John Vogt thank you so much!! Fruity and fresh I can handle. Just not that sugary sweet vanilla baked goods smell. You helped me thanks!!! 😊
I absolutely love your videos, your sense of humor and how down to earth you seem just makes me smile and idk you're so relatable and I love watching your videos Sam. Also I have been loving the Tarte creaseless concealer for my under eyes and wet n wild photo focus pressed powder to set it. The combination just looks absolutely flawless and I've tried so many other concealers and powders and nothing looks as good
I think it's the ingredients vegan brands use to get those pink, purple, and red shades that stain. Either way morphe should have said something and not assume that everyone knows that. Even the warning on the pallete was different then any other brand
Graysons Journey that's why they label them pigments and not eyeshadows.
Carlie Morgan right but not everyone knows that means it could stain. i hadn’t heard of that until manny came out w his palette and said that it was a possibility. i was surprised james never mentioned it
Honestly I think they wanted these controversies on purpose because even bad press is good press in their eyes
Exactly they don't choose people like for example Sam to endorse their products. She doesn't have that cloud of drama that surrounds James or Jacklyn. We as consumers need to start being picky about what we choose and who we choose to support.
It's hilarious that people even use those pigments and defend the staining. There are amazing shadows with workable shades that are actually ok to use on the eyes. Silly people 😋
Your videos just make me happy. Old school product that I’ve loved since I started makeup I actually think it was one of the first high end product I got is Mac paint pots as an eyeshadow base. Like 10 years later I still use it all the time and even on others.
Sooo Sam I might have a problemos.... I kinda or really am addicted to you. You are like a makeup goddess to me. If you ever need people to fight off mafia just holla at me
My very favourite product that I’ve used day in day out for the last 19 years is my MAC 266 angled liner brush. The ferrule is starting to get a bit rusty but it still works really well. I bought it in the final year of my PhD, along with Club, Patina and Studio Fix powder foundation, which all formed my millennium party look. Since then I’ve become a make-up nerd and my collection has expanded considerably but that brush is still my favourite. This was a fantastic video and the timing was great as I’m just sorting out my makeup cupboard and putting together my everyday make-up bag. Have a great weekend! Loads of love to you Sam ❤️💋💋xx
Perhaps you could try doing a Project pan or a Makeup basket/shop my stash type of content in order to use what you already own. Just a suggestion.
lapematd she does do this :-) she calls it project throwback
@@allisonhogarth2983 I loved seeing a bigger channel do something like it, but would still love to see her do a project pan for the new year.. even if it's just a few products, really use them up!
Rose Ella-Grace i agree! it’s inspiring hahaha
THANK YOU for being a beauty influencer with acne. I realize that's a weird thing to say, but like all these influencers with perfect skin and blown-out lighting are NOT showing us the reality of what they look like. I'm so glad that I can see what you ACTUALLY look like!
I use that primer and sponge daily......we are pretty much Best Friends now. So #SAMismyBFF
I so appreciate you in all your F bombs, your unfiltered videos, your real assessments of makeup on acne scars. THANK YOU
I was always a MAC shadow girl ever since I started wearing makeup in high school in the early 90’s. Why DID we turn our backs on MAC? They never do me wrong.
I like seeing her do these random mashup videos with these unique, creative looks, because she seems so much happier
