I just want to say, thank you sooo much for putting in so much work every time to list and link all the products you're wearing. I rarely comment but I ALWAYS look and I've gotten some amazing products because of how good they look on you! Your effort is extremely appreciated 💕
Thank you for talking about the ER situation. I’m not gonna lie, when I posted everything I found, I wasn’t sure about the community response. But I greatly appreciate your voice on this and especially the bits about grace. I have highly encouraged from the beginning that people give creators time to find this info. Not only that, it can be triggering for content creators and it may take them some time to form thoughts. Again. Thank you.
I really appreciate your nuanced take on the Ensley Reign situation. I agree that we are all capable of growth, and I hope they do better in the future!
Angie, I am SO glad you speak so openly and with such passion about the things you care about. The fact that you openly champion LGBTQ+ rights, and openly challenge anti-trans sentiment is so important. Not only that, but you do so with such class and grace and allowing people space to grow. I'm glad you also spoke to the owner directly, too - if you know people in real life it's vital to challenge bigotry and hatred and express your disappointment. Thank you for being an awesome, sparkly, colourful, intelligent woman. Proud to be part of the community with you.
Thank you for talking about ensley reign, most people are keeping it in stories or comments. Videos are important! It was a pattern of following extremist pages and liking their content against trans people. It was not a tomboy thing, thats what they tried to reduce it to for the people who wouldnt look further. That was a deflection. Their issue is still giving extended approval to anti trans rhetoric while profiting off LGBT creators who have created their revenue. Its a crazy position to put yourself in as a brand, and until they apologize for that specifically, i think its a deflection. I appreciate your perspective angie! Very constructive
Yo.... Their response post today got 300 comments, most of which were critical and demanding a real apology. So they just turned off comments 😂. What happened to the claim in that very post that they are "open to suggestions" to do better???
@@mus1quenonst0p which is embarrassing for them 😂 publicly endorsing heinous things should warrant an open dialogue. I can't believe they turned those comments off, they weren't even hateful or extreme
👌🏻absolutely perfect response to the ER situation. Being in the uk ER isnt the cheapest brand to get our hands on, but i have been tempted to buy because the stuff looks anazing but…. Hearing this today has shocked me tbh, i am straight but for me i dont see labels i see the person x if i like you its because of who you are not what you are, if that makes sense. I think it is massively important for any public figure, celebrity, world leaders/politicians and brand owners to keep a very non offensive front. I appreciate your very mature and thoughtful opinion on the topic. Much love from Bonnie Scotland x and i ordered your palette and brushes and paid the crazy shipping cause i wanted it now lol xx
39:00 i really like you, as a person, i dont do parasocial relationships, but i think you angie are really really awesome. Thank you for holding a space on YT that really makes me personally feel very good. You are great.
What a breath of fresh, kind and respectful air you are, Angie! Thank you for everything you do including your insights into the whole Ensley Reign debacle. (I bought my first palette from them right before this dust up. Ugh.) But like you, I will give them a chance to do better!
I looked at the tomboy post and I felt that there was no way that could be interpreted as anything other than anti-trans so I felt the apology just fell super flat and BS-y. I was so sad cuz that all went down the day after I got my first ever ER palettes in the mail so it really took the joy out of them for me. I do like that you are giving them grace to improve in the future, it's part of what makes me follow your channel...the kindness
Sorry to do this to you but you might want to just get rid of the palette altogether. They're also ableist, anti-vx, used a slur against Romani as their previous brand name (and still maintain that domain name) and sold palettes for $88.88. (8th letter = H. Think about a guy with a name starting with H who bad people say "Heil" to).
@@taranullius9221 There's no excuse for the reported behavior and it's good to see influencers speaking out against it but we shouldn't shame anyone into getting rid of their products. ER is one of the more expensive indie brands, particularly for eyeshadow palettes, so all that money and the hours spent working to earn it are tossed out along with the products. Also, do you have any proof that the owner agrees with the views of a certain Austrian nut job? If not, that implication should be deleted
@@taranullius9221I don’t think being wasteful helps anyone, though. ER already has the money we’ve spent on the products, it doesn’t do anything for the cause to get rid of them.
I appreciate how you are always so level headed and inclusive and allow others to change. Thank you for such a thoughtful commentary on Ensley Reign. ❤
I was sure many people would be confused by the DM vault, and to answer the question "who's this for?" - ME (and not only haha)! I adore the concept and I quite honestly find it an extremely useful purchase. As someone who works with cosplay, larp and overall extravagant looks that portray more fantasy-based characters, this is perfect. DM's paints are very long lasting, do not crease and work incredibly for such stuff. And while I know that the majority of the consumers wouldn't be interested in it, welp... that's the point. 😅 It's a limited edition, limited stock, extremely expensive (while worth it) thing that is meant exactly for the people that have waited for it, not for everyone. Some things are just designed for a more of a niche audience, rather than a mass purchase. ❤️
I can relate! I am not buying this particular vault myself, but as a lip artist who paints almost all the designs with liquid lipsticks, I am always the first in line for all the "who is this for" 20+ colour liquid lipsticks vaults. 😄
Thank you for articulating your thoughts on ER in such a thoughtful, mature manner. What a terrible breach of trust… Sending you all the love and support! ❤
Kelly Gooch's predictions mentioned going back to the very bronzey look of the early 00s and i think the "return of highlighter" will mix "2016 makeup" with that. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SPORADIC PSA ABOUT VAULT/BULK COLLECTIONS/PR COLLECTIONS/BACKUPS, etc etc YESSSS you have stopped me soooo manyyy timessss. ps: i'd love to watch a video SOON about finances. you have a great perspective on this- moved from Sweden to US (WHEW!), quit a "normal job" to do an "unconventional" job, breadwinner of the home, bought a house...all that with you doing a low-buy before, then vocalizing being okay with making less money, and now you mentioned being okay with less views for peace of mind. i love you so much and am so excited about everything you create.💖
Sometimes things take another direction than we have imagined, but it turns out to be the best direction for us. Sometimes we have to prioritise mental health over evey life pleasures and probably is "less" but is actually enough for us to be happy! Happy Holidays ❤
Brilliant commentary on ER. You paused before acting and then went straight to the source. Well done grasshopper. Silence is deadly. Your response is important and needed. I don't have a platform on TH-cam or any social media therefore I am very grateful to you for speaking my mind.
well if I could trust the Tarte formula like I trust the ND formula I would have been equally excited, with Tarte you just don't know if you are getting good eyeshadow or awful eyeshadow.
Hi Angie, I just wanted to say how sensible you always are, I've been following you and watching your videos for years and you are my idol, not only as a makeup guru but as a mature, respectful and kind person. Love you, kisses from Brazil 😘
I knew you’d address Ensley Reign-and I appreciate you taking time to not act in an emotional state but to also be rational. Bad timing for the brand-I had just received my first palette from them. I’ve decided to enjoy it but not support the brand for at least the time being
Smashbox powders were truly amazing. Actually Smashbox was the first pro makeup brand I tried so bc of that opened me to the makeup world. Their old hydrating primer was my favorite makeup product ever and the way to understand that my skin wasn't oily but combined! I would love to see them innovating again and marking trends.
@AngelicaNyqvist the Halo Hydrating Perfecting Powder was soooo good, it was years ahead all the hydrating powders without talc that nowadays many brands are trying to achieve
As soon as I saw the new mini palette from ND, I thought "this is gonna replace the mini Xenon for Angelica" cuz you're more likely to wear neutrals than you are to wear grey and it had the light and dark shades that you like in a travel palette
@@AngelicaNyqvistI had $20 in credit card rewards and got it too! Was gonna wait for reviews but… yeah it seems perfect as travel and adding to other pallets. ❤
I had no idea about the Ensley Reign debacle….I went online to order the new collection yesterday and tried to use your code and it didn’t work. Now I know why. That’s just crazy!!
Thank you for addressing the Ensley Reign situation. I really appreciate you speaking your mind to the owner and letting her know her impact and addressing it with us after you took some time with it. I also appreciate that you give people time to change. I think that is really important especially now and not just in the makeup community. Thank you!
The Danessa Myricks vault could be a useful thing for eye artists or lip artists or face artists, if they prefer working with paints like these. I personally prefer liquid lipsticks, and I remember buying the Nyx liquid suede minis vault of 30 colours (they were only missing greens and yellows, but had all the other tones), and it was one of the best investments at the time - I was using each and every colour depending on the lip painting I was doing.
I am disappointed with ER. They misstepped with the content they were liking, and didn’t seem to really apologize very sincerely. This is also after they are continuing to release very AI heavy art even though they said it would be phased out. The very light handed acknowledgment of these issues makes me sad. I am so sorry that people were less than kind waiting for your thoughts, I appreciate you taking the time to no make off the cuff comments! Keep doing you 💖
Thank you for your thoughts about ER. I was about to try them for the first time when this news entered my awareness, and I'm so glad I didn't.I'm trying to think of what it would take for me to believe they've learned and changed, but I don't know where that line is. Full disclosure, though i am cis and straight, my child is trans and all this heinous anti-trans fervor on social media makes me terrified and so very angry and also hurt down to the bone. Again, I appreciate your measured and reasonable discussion of the topic.
On BF i brought only 2 Clinique Foundations and 1 powder and the Estee Lauder Double Wear ( that is always in my makeup kit😅). Clinique is super underrated indeed! I love Even Better, Even Better Refresh, their Almost Powder and now i brought the Serum Foundation to test it and i am sure i will love it plus the Take the day off Balm is one of the best makeup removers i have used ( dethrones even the K-Beauty ones) , their mascara, undereye corrector very good as well!
I always appreciate you and your very level headed, thoughtful approach to everything. I think you’re the type of creator we need to see more often. I appreciate your constant honesty and straightforward discussions❤
Whatever take on ER anyone has, to expect anyone other than yourself to stop what they are doing, halt family celebrations, remove themselves to go film reactions to something they didn't even play a part in is beyond rude. I guess this situation is going to trickle into who still follows ER and who doesn't?? If your favorite creator didn't post fast enough??
Hi, Angie! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Here in Brazil we celebrate at the night of 24 às well. Some coments… I still have my very old urban decay blushes. They are amazing. Clinique’s makeup is very underated I think. Just like laura Mercier, laura Geller And bobbi brown. They have solid very reliable formulas. The thing is that they don’t release trendy products all the time, but the regular line is very good. Love your makeup look! ❤
Angie, you made a principled decision. I applaud you for that. I got some Ensley Reign for Christmas. I will still wear because it is good quality and because once it is out of the company's hands, whatever I do no longer impacts them. Will I buy from the brand now, no. I will wait for changes to be made. If anyone leaves your channel because you made a principled decision, they are doing so under their own biases about transphobia. I truly believe that. Take care.
Thank you for speaking on ER. I saw their post with an ‘apology’ that was partly copied from the statement from Titanium foxes. They asked input from the community in that post because they claim to wanna learn. It hasn’t been a day and they closed the comments. What they do, is now more important than what they say. It isn’t the job of the community to teach them inclusivity. They have to do that work themselves and show us what they learned on that journey. If their brand is inclusive like they claim, they could unblock the people who criticized them and listen to it, show looks from minorities, collab with them, donate to a charity that supports that community, keep their comment section safe… What I see them doing at the moment is making an insincere apology without quoting the inspiration for it and asking for input so they can learn while closing the comments… That’s not a good start.
Angie thanks for the updates ! I hope you guys had a great Christmas and you are looking at your own mental health and well being.. can’t wait to see what you launch this year 2025 ❤
I used to love my UD Afterglow blush in the shade Score. It was a peachy leaning non matte coral. It was a fav at the time. It had the most pan I've ever made in one of my blushes.
Bronzer is my fave makeup product, even tho I have plenty of them and won’t be buying any new ones for a long time I still love to see and hear about bronzer releases! Appreciate your words about the ER situation. They were never on my radar but I know they have great makeup and it’s sad that not everyone is as inclusive as they seem.
I love your videos as always. I was absolutely on the edge of my seat wanting to get the Danessa Myricks vault because of my makeup style, and always needing to run to the store for something to complete a look of mine...but then you make good points about not using everything and only buying what you need because I know realistically I would not be able to buy the vault at $500. That's just crazy. It's one of those things I'd say all avant garde makeup artists just dream of having at their disposal. 💔
Excellent response about the ensley reign situation! We have to give people the opportunity to learn from mistakes and make changes as well as not discounting our own feelings! 👏
As a long time viewer THANK YOU for publicly speaking about the ER situation. THANK YOU for speaking up in support of LGBTQIA+ folks - specifically transgender folks! We desperately need people like you on our side. Love supporting you Angie! Hope to see some change from ER - I always loved your videos on their palettes... so disappointing
Angie to Ensley Reign: WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!! No for real though, as a bisexual and as a person who shares the same values as you Angie (everyone being equally valuable regardless of sexual orientation, gender, nationality, etc.), this news really saddens me and hopefully the owner will think, act and change. Thanks for addressing the matter respectfully and thoughtfully.
I thought of you the second I saw the ND 5 pan on IG! I tried to tag you but couldn't. I knew you would see it though. I don't the ER has handled this well. They are deleting negative comments and liking comments that are saying horrible things about the people criticizing them. A brand doesn't block people if they are open to listening and learning. The owner has shown who they are multiple times and I hope this time people listen!
I hate how people have come to expect creators to speak on every issue that pops up, especially when they jump to all sorts of conclusions when no statements or videos are made on it within minutes of it happening.
I have been asking for a long time if Ensley Reign is a brand that supports the same kind of people who are very attached to the number represented by 2 eights, because she has priced a number of palettes with four eights. It could just be that she likes the symmetry. But with addition of the transphobic statements, the two things could (not necessarily, but could) be related.
Sometimes two eights represents a n*zi dog whistle as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet etc etc. Don’t want to be speculative abt this particular case or anything but that’s the context of this reference
How disappointing about ER! They were a brand I most wanted to try but I looked up the posts they liked and yeah... it's not good. I agree with Angie that it's good to take a step back and see if there's growth. I also believe that people are capable of growth bc lord knows I have had to grow many times in my 39 years of life.
On the topic of Ensley Reign... Unfortunately, this isn't the 1st or 2nd time they've had this same kind of controversy. The brand (owner) has a long history of bigotry, association with misinformation, and old rhetoric. They keep using the business to associate with bigotry and problematic opinions. This isn't new information, they've been like this for years, and they don't seem to actually grow as a person. It's very disappointing. (Edited for spelling/Grammer)
As a Canadian I am frustrated that many brands have moved or do exclusives with ulta. We have no access to them. Before covid they were going to build stores here so they cut shipping then they didn’t build stores and they never restored shipping.
Thank you for your perspective on the Ensley Reign situation. I'm so disappointed because I bought my first palettes from the brand only a few months ago and absolutely loved them but now I wouldn't feel right making a purchase from them again.

Most recently it was “we value your feedback”, but then she turned off comments. So far it’s not looking good.
What did they do?
This was quite monstrous content that Ensley was liking. Literally some of the most hateful anti-Trans memes imaginable. Hateful people rarely grow.😢
I would rather "wait" on a review of a new product and have you test/use it, vs right out of the box. Love this approach!

I really appreciate you speaking your mind to the owner and letting her know her impact and addressing it with us after you took some time with it. I also appreciate that you give people time to change. I think that is really important especially now and not just in the makeup community. Thank you!
Apropos of nothing, I love when you highlight your beauty marks and freckles. Always looks so lovely. 🧡
Thank you, I appreciate that! 😊
Love the garlic bread from hello fresh ❤ and love the blue eyeliner ❤❤❤
Strong statement. 🙏
The Danessa Myricks vault could be a useful thing for eye artists or lip artists or face artists, if they prefer working with paints like these. I personally prefer liquid lipsticks, and I remember buying the Nyx liquid suede minis vault of 30 colours (they were only missing greens and yellows, but had all the other tones), and it was one of the best investments at the time - I was using each and every colour depending on the lip painting I was doing.
I appreciate your take on Ensley Reign. I was extremely disappointed by what transpired and regretted purchasing from them.
I am disappointed with ER. They misstepped with the content they were liking, and didn’t seem to really apologize very sincerely. This is also after they are continuing to release very AI heavy art even though they said it would be phased out. The very light handed acknowledgment of these issues makes me sad. I am so sorry that people were less than kind waiting for your thoughts, I appreciate you taking the time to no make off the cuff comments! Keep doing you 💖
Thank you for your thoughts about ER. I was about to try them for the first time when this news entered my awareness, and I'm so glad I didn't.I'm trying to think of what it would take for me to believe they've learned and changed, but I don't know where that line is. Full disclosure, though i am cis and straight, my child is trans and all this heinous anti-trans fervor on social media makes me terrified and so very angry and also hurt down to the bone. Again, I appreciate your measured and reasonable discussion of the topic.
Clinique has great foundations. Nobody talks about them. 😊
On BF i brought only 2 Clinique Foundations and 1 powder and the Estee Lauder Double Wear ( that is always in my makeup kit😅). Clinique is super underrated indeed! I love Even Better, Even Better Refresh, their Almost Powder and now i brought the Serum Foundation to test it and i am sure i will love it plus the Take the day off Balm is one of the best makeup removers i have used ( dethrones even the K-Beauty ones) , their mascara, undereye corrector very good as well!
I always appreciate you and your very level headed, thoughtful approach to everything. I think you’re the type of creator we need to see more often. I appreciate your constant honesty and straightforward discussions❤
Mornin ya’ll 😊🧡
morning 💜
Good night 😊
Whatever take on ER anyone has, to expect anyone other than yourself to stop what they are doing, halt family celebrations, remove themselves to go film reactions to something they didn't even play a part in is beyond rude. I guess this situation is going to trickle into who still follows ER and who doesn't?? If your favorite creator didn't post fast enough??
Let's See what will make my Bank account cry 😂
🙈😂
You look so beautiful in this makeup look 😊
I’ve never stopped with the studs. lol
Hi, Angie! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Here in Brazil we celebrate at the night of 24 às well.
Some coments… I still have my very old urban decay blushes. They are amazing. Clinique’s makeup is very underated I think. Just like laura Mercier, laura Geller And bobbi brown. They have solid very reliable formulas. The thing is that they don’t release trendy products all the time, but the regular line is very good.
Love your makeup look! ❤
Honestly, as soon as I saw the new Natasha Denona mini palette I was like “Angie is buying this!"
Angie, you made a principled decision. I applaud you for that. I got some Ensley Reign for Christmas. I will still wear because it is good quality and because once it is out of the company's hands, whatever I do no longer impacts them. Will I buy from the brand now, no. I will wait for changes to be made. If anyone leaves your channel because you made a principled decision, they are doing so under their own biases about transphobia. I truly believe that. Take care.
Thank you for speaking on ER. I saw their post with an ‘apology’ that was partly copied from the statement from Titanium foxes. They asked input from the community in that post because they claim to wanna learn. It hasn’t been a day and they closed the comments.
What they do, is now more important than what they say. It isn’t the job of the community to teach them inclusivity. They have to do that work themselves and show us what they learned on that journey. If their brand is inclusive like they claim, they could unblock the people who criticized them and listen to it, show looks from minorities, collab with them, donate to a charity that supports that community, keep their comment section safe…
What I see them doing at the moment is making an insincere apology without quoting the inspiration for it and asking for input so they can learn while closing the comments… That’s not a good start.
@lynndp what happened to Titanium foxes? Did they do something?
Angie thanks for the updates ! I hope you guys had a great Christmas and you are looking at your own mental health and well being.. can’t wait to see what you launch this year 2025 ❤
I used to love my UD Afterglow blush in the shade Score. It was a peachy leaning non matte coral. It was a fav at the time. It had the most pan I've ever made in one of my blushes.
Bronzer is my fave makeup product, even tho I have plenty of them and won’t be buying any new ones for a long time I still love to see and hear about bronzer releases! Appreciate your words about the ER situation. They were never on my radar but I know they have great makeup and it’s sad that not everyone is as inclusive as they seem.
That vault… I would split it with 4 friends… we each put in $100 bucks and we each pick 13 colors. 😎
I love your videos as always.
I was absolutely on the edge of my seat wanting to get the Danessa Myricks vault because of my makeup style, and always needing to run to the store for something to complete a look of mine...but then you make good points about not using everything and only buying what you need because I know realistically I would not be able to buy the vault at $500. That's just crazy. It's one of those things I'd say all avant garde makeup artists just dream of having at their disposal. 💔
I appreciate your values, insight, and stance with the ensley reign issue. Thanks for sharing and handling it the way you did.
Shoutout to Chef Ricardo in the Hello Fresh segment.
I’m glad you are protecting your mental health with foregoing being the first with products. ❤
Good morning Angie!! 😊
If you’re in the metal or goth world like me….studs never went away. 😅
Excellent response about the ensley reign situation! We have to give people the opportunity to learn from mistakes and make changes as well as not discounting our own feelings! 👏
Natasha Denona should have named that new mini palette "Angie."
🤣
"I'm married to a man but that doesn't mean I'm not bisexual anymore" FACT!!!
As a long time viewer THANK YOU for publicly speaking about the ER situation. THANK YOU for speaking up in support of LGBTQIA+ folks - specifically transgender folks! We desperately need people like you on our side. Love supporting you Angie! Hope to see some change from ER - I always loved your videos on their palettes... so disappointing
It’s amazing how obvious it is when the creative genius leaves a brand…Jo Malone, Pat McGrath, etc
Happy New Year beautiful!!!!💛🧡💛🧡
Beautylish lucky bag secured! I’m so excited! Did you order one?
yes I did :D
Angie to Ensley Reign: WE WERE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!!
No for real though, as a bisexual and as a person who shares the same values as you Angie (everyone being equally valuable regardless of sexual orientation, gender, nationality, etc.), this news really saddens me and hopefully the owner will think, act and change. Thanks for addressing the matter respectfully and thoughtfully.
Your eye-look is super beautiful! I'm kicking myself for not getting Molten Metals during Black Friday but at least I got an extra Prance. 😄
Your top is adorable. 💛🌻
Yes… studs are coming back in style.
Good morning Angie! I'm so excited to hear your thoughts. 😊💜🩵🩷💚🧡💛
Well said, regarding ER.
Gm Angelica..happy Holidays..hope u had a great day.❤
Thanks for your words on ER. Their "apology" was atrocious - one the worst ones since Colleen Ballinger's ukulele song. 🤦
If you haven’t tried the Catrice plumping lip liners, they are great (no pain!).
I thought of you the second I saw the ND 5 pan on IG! I tried to tag you but couldn't. I knew you would see it though.
I don't the ER has handled this well. They are deleting negative comments and liking comments that are saying horrible things about the people criticizing them. A brand doesn't block people if they are open to listening and learning. The owner has shown who they are multiple times and I hope this time people listen!
I hate how people have come to expect creators to speak on every issue that pops up, especially when they jump to all sorts of conclusions when no statements or videos are made on it within minutes of it happening.
Thanks for talking me out of that danessa myricks vault
Wow your makeup is so beautiful!! I have wanted to try Gloss Gods for awhile…. ❤
I have been asking for a long time if Ensley Reign is a brand that supports the same kind of people who are very attached to the number represented by 2 eights, because she has priced a number of palettes with four eights. It could just be that she likes the symmetry. But with addition of the transphobic statements, the two things could (not necessarily, but could) be related.
Oh interesting.
this could very easily turn into extrapolating stuff which I try to stay away from.
I don't know what that means. What's wrong with eights?
@@paiges1262 8 isn’t the number that rapreset eternity?
Sometimes two eights represents a n*zi dog whistle as H is the 8th letter of the alphabet etc etc. Don’t want to be speculative abt this particular case or anything but that’s the context of this reference
How disappointing about ER! They were a brand I most wanted to try but I looked up the posts they liked and yeah... it's not good. I agree with Angie that it's good to take a step back and see if there's growth. I also believe that people are capable of growth bc lord knows I have had to grow many times in my 39 years of life.
On the topic of Ensley Reign... Unfortunately, this isn't the 1st or 2nd time they've had this same kind of controversy. The brand (owner) has a long history of bigotry, association with misinformation, and old rhetoric. They keep using the business to associate with bigotry and problematic opinions. This isn't new information, they've been like this for years, and they don't seem to actually grow as a person. It's very disappointing. (Edited for spelling/Grammer)
As a Canadian I am frustrated that many brands have moved or do exclusives with ulta. We have no access to them. Before covid they were going to build stores here so they cut shipping then they didn’t build stores and they never restored shipping.
Thank you for your perspective on the Ensley Reign situation. I'm so disappointed because I bought my first palettes from the brand only a few months ago and absolutely loved them but now I wouldn't feel right making a purchase from them again.
Big love Angi 💖
Love this look !
