4:30 I totally get you on the hair! I’m a ciswoman in my 40s, about once a decade I chop it all off and go for a bob. And I feel so much more sophisticated and free after! But then I slowly get pulled back into the fantasy of long hair; curls, waves, and fancy updos. So I grow it all out, then get more and more annoyed because it feels like I’m covered in HAIR and it’s in my FACE all the time and I just don’t have the patience so I put it up in a ponytail all the time. Then I chop it all off again. Rinse and repeat!
victoria i’m doing a series making a makeup probation bag. instead of decluttering everything im giving it a second chance (decluttering only leads to buying more for me). thanks for being an inspiration on this journey!! i really found ur channel at a crucial point of my shopping problems and it has def helped me so so much!
I’m so here for the content that isn’t about buying makeup. I just got one of the girl cult lip products, in the very rectangular packaging, GORGEOUS packaging. The product is fine but it smells like old floral perfume which is annoying. Hyntoor lip gloss in 16, 18, 19 are very nice and no scent!
If you are open to video idea suggestions I would love to see chatty makeup playtime videos as well as recreations of iconic or historical looks paired with your version inspired by what you recreated. I am very invested in using what I have and not buying new this year. Love the raspberry beret on you!
I feel exactly the same way about spending money right now. In the past, if I cut back, it was simply for my own finances and the entire feeling behind it was way different. This is something else entirely. The one thing I am happy about is talking to so many people on this platform and others I feel like I’m in good company! As much as I don’t want to admit it, that will certainly help me spend less and I am grateful for that!
I just discovered you and you absolutely make my heart sing❤❤❤❤ honey I'm 59 yrs old and have ZERO direction in my life. The only constant in my life is the Neverending love for my kids and grandkids. My grandson is just 19 and in the army and my trans grandson is 17 and has about as much direction as i do!!! Poor kid!! He's the light of my life and it breaks my heart to see him struggle in this judgemental world!!! It took time for me to come to grips with his choices but at the end of the day all i want is for him to be happy in his body.
Ever since 2020 I have been shunning goals / manifestations. I had such lofty high hopes of the 20s decade and now I just try and get through each day the best I can.
Over the years I've watched so many reviews and first impressions of Ellis Faas. Everyone is so intrigued with the packaging. Then, crickets. They forget about it, if they have more than one product, they all look a like and no one wants to take the time to check which tube it is. It gathers dust and dies. The initial "ooh, ahh" is so short lived. It always gets decluttered.
Hi Victoria, it’s Victoria. HNY 🥳 Loving your content. The way you articulate how you consume and enjoy makeup is so refreshing and inspiring. Did you know that Vieve is by Scottish TH-camr Jamie Genevieve? She has her own channel and Instagram account. Jamie isn’t as active on TH-cam since Vieve and the arrival of her baby girl; she’s a busy business mama! Anyway, I think her products are positively lush - would love to hear your experience when you get around to trying them. xx
I know you aren't always a fan of a "dupe" but I honestly think the Dossier Ambery Saffron is better than Baccarat Rouge...it just smells stronger/lasts longer on me and honestly, the real bottle doesn't even feel like luxurious. I went through a whole bottle of it and felt very meh! Of course fragrance can smell so different on different people so you may have a different experience but I thought I'd share mine! I
Havent commented on the last few videos because I have needed them to help soothe me along in life. But girl! Do I feel you on how you desceibed how you're feeling at the beginning of the video. And i love your content. And if anything what you're describing for your channel is a bit of going back to your roots of just loving your collection. And so so so many channels are jumping on that train with underconsumption and low buys reaching a cultural high rn. So, I think it would be great to watch your videos doing that in a much more practiced refined and entertaining way than the others.
1:48 I completely agree with you! I purchased maybe 3 makeup items last year and as much as some things grab my attention on the new makeup releases, it doesn't take away my spending apprehension. Plusss, this Victoria is between jobs so I jeed to clutch my coins like a chipmunk in winter lmao. Those coins are barely enough I can't buy makeup and fragrance ATM, but in the future I'm interested in a small bottle of Marc Jacobs Perfect. It smells sooo good! And I want to try the Armani liquid shadow in the silver sparkly shade you love but for now, I'm reacquainting myself with my existing makeup and especially things I don't use often. I loved this video, Victoria! I really like how you think out loud about random things and share them because it's like hanging out with a friend and chatting! ❤😊
I don't need more makeup. I like what I have. My ADHD brain gets overwhelmed if I have too many choices, and I just don't want a bunch of random stuff anyway. But, it's still fun sometimes to watch other people try fun makeup.
If you do not want to spend too much money, I think I would love to see you create looks that may not really be your style and something you walk out the house with, but just to get your creative juices flowing. AN example of this: Makeup tutorials - Sparkly eye, a main focus feature, lips, eyes, blush... Blush in different places (Asia, Middle East, etc). Looks like when you did Chapelle Roan - avant gard - I can keep going ha!
@@hautemesstomWow, that’s the same one I wore today😄 I quite enjoy it! Actually a contender to replace my all time favourite Lancome Lash Idole in lean times❤
I just ADORE you! And your channel! Very chic look today! And it's ok to be in an in between state, genuinely trying to figure ourselves out than trying to fit in by forcing or pretense. Baby you can do it, Take your time, do it right! 🎶xoxoxo I still am interested in that Sisley powder....and that Lisa Eldridge skin tint.
I adore Baccarat Rouge! It's on my forever wishlist! LOL! I also don't want a dupe. When ELLIS FAAS came out years ago, I tested everything, the Skin Veil foundation was very good, I used it on clients all the time, the concealer meh (unless they reformulated), but the original packaging please, those eyeshadows while the formula was amazing the packaging was a disaster waiting to happen. I saw that they changed mostly everything to doe foot applicators and the foundation was put in a bottle, unless they changed the finish it's not as glowy as you usually like, but I could be wrong. But the eyeshadow colours there might be some you'd like, like the eye lights liquid sparkles. I love the Armani Liquid Blush in 503, that cool pink I adore, and I love the formula, it's the longevity that I kinda think it's kinda meh. I think the formula for the liquid eyeshadows, the powder blushers and liquid ones is very good. As for the Luminous Silk Foundation, it never worked for me, I always looked too artificial, it photographs well but I don't like how it looks IRL. I like the On the Go Cushion foundation though.
i HAVE to know if the mob black lip balm is good or not. i keep going back and fourth but i never get it because so many people have said it's patchy, but i also desperately want an alternative to the lipstick from rituel de fille. i love rdf but that lipstick has no business being the width of a pencil at $25
I've tried 3 of the KVD dazzle sticks and I never reach for them. I don't know why, but the texture and the amount of glitter they have just don't seem to be something I'd want to wear. It looks ok swatched, but I don't like the application on my eyes, so I support you taking them off! Do you happen to know or could you pretty please recommend a black and a white lipstick that I could use as mixers with my current lipsticks to create a gradient on the lips?
I really like the black lipstick from Black Moon! I believe it’s called omen! But you may wanna look at something like Mehron or kryolan for straight up white / black lipsticks! Not super cute but would be super effective!
I was so young when I replied to your call for product review requests. I’m now on a journey of learning everything about the legacy of Kevyn Aucoin and am curious how his eponymous brand’s products perform.
Sorry I forgot to tag it! I am wearing the nudie forget the filler gloss and a lip liner but off the noggin I’m not sure which one but it will be in my video on Friday! I think it’s chestnut from MAC tho!
I apologize for the hum actually but the beret is not really Parisian at all. It originates from the Pays Basques (South East if France / North East of Spain)

“spending money as a hobby” - exactly what i needed to hear to reevaluate my shopping habits!
"KVD goes out of business or at least leaves sephora" is unironically on my 2025 bingo card. If it happens, I called it on NYE.
Heck, I’d need a dupe of the good apple foundation 😅

Your skin always looks amazing, but there is something about today’s look that is just EXTRA WOW! Your skin and your eyes! 😍😍😍
Ever since 2020 I have been shunning goals / manifestations. I had such lofty high hopes of the 20s decade and now I just try and get through each day the best I can.
I meant more like something to work toward / goal. Because I find giving myself something is helpful for me to keep my spirits high!
Omg the ANTM montage!!! I love it!
The work you do is inspiring and fantastic!
I have Milani's fruit fetish lip in Black Cherry, and it's a black with maybe a small purple tinge. I love it.
If you are going to think about trying anything from dior, I would highly recommend the mahogany blush!!
The kind you find in a second-hand store.. 🎶🥰
Hi Victoria, it’s me, Victoria. I just wanted to say that I really love your channel and your videos, they never fail to brighten my day❤
♥️♥️
Yes. I love glassware (seriously, unironically). I know of Baccarat, the glass.
I love that for you! I have a couple of friends who also really enjoy it!
Tom calling themself out is my favorite SSRI

A variation of the beret was worn by anxient Greek soldiers. The beret, as we know it, originates from the Basque peasants of France and Spain. 😎✌🏼💜💜💜

Go for it! Mob sounds like nice pple all around ! I’ve bought several items and like them .❤
Ooooooo......I so want the BR perfume, too. I keep hoping that it will go on sale, but it probably won't! Smells so good!
It smells SO good!!

Thank you so much! The application of this look will go up Friday!
Omg I just saw the ANTM sendoff
I used our hang out time this morning to Freddy Kruger my loves list. ❤🎉
Hell yeah
I’m so obsessed with you. Love from the land down under ❤
Hi, Tom!!! I love BR 540, but it’s the Extrait for me, not the EDP 🫣
Oh so that real 🤑🤑🤑
Victoria I love this lewk! As always, very thoughtful and interesting video! Bacioni!
BR 540 is probably the perfect Victoria fragrance ❤
So Victoria!!

The only thing on this Victoria's Wishlist is the BBB Ultra Violet! I'll probably buy it soon.
Don’t forget to use DEANDRA10 at checkout!

Thank you!

The beret and the cute hair is ❤
You should try the Robert Welsh x Blend Bunny black lipgloss!
Noted!
I love the beret 🥐🩷
Victoria, you're so relatable 😂
It’s hard being this effortless
My friend bought me the most beautiful duoschome lipgloss from Girlcult for Christmas. Very fun and different.
Does it smell? That’s what everyone is telling me? 😂
@hautemesstom it's got like a floral, rose scent to it. You can kind of taste it a bit at first, but I feel like the scent wears off pretty quickly.
Gorgeous!!! 💜💜💜💜💜

Have you ever tried Byredo? Oh! And are there good places for the decanting you mentioned??
1996 has been my signature fragrance for close to a decade but I hate how the brand is always discontinuing products or doing limited edition runs.
I’ll have to double check the first fragrance video I did for the recs other people gave me for those types of sites
@@hautemesstom oh I can do that! Thanks, love. Byredo has makeup though, right? It’s so alluring. Wonder if it’s any good?

I purchased Chai and don’t love it…would love to send it to you if you’d be interested! 😊
I have a dazzle stick. Say the word and it's yours.
Not the ANTM ending
Dior- didn’t you have an orange backstage blush?
