I was so interested in the Moira Sugar Crush Eye Shadow but it only has 3 stars on Amazon and I think only 2 ratings. Hmm.....I mean I totally trust you Kait so maybe I'll take a chance....
@@lesliedemarco1691 That's weird, what do the reviews say? The only con is that there's a tiny bit of fallout but that's it. I truly haven't worn any other eyeshadow since I got it, I love it!
@@StateofKait I'm getting Sugar Crush & Fairy Dust and I'm gonna mix them together. I can't trust only ONE review saying it gets in her eyes. She doesn't sound trustworthy but YOU, I KNOW are trustworthy :)
Your “ruthlessness” is why I trust you. Positivity as a concept has no place in reviews & consumer literary content. As the purchaser, I want the most critical (in the true sense of the word, not “negative”) reviews possible. I’m on a tight budget, I only buy a few high end products & my target price range for everything is unrealistically low. If a product costs over $10, I am doing research lol. I love channels like yours, when I do buy a higher end item, I feel confident I’m getting the best guidance for me. Positivity in reviews benefits the creator (financially, in the long run), honesty benefits your viewers financially. I know you do this as a hobby/service, and thank you for putting us first. I hope you aren’t wearing yourself out. I am neurodivergent& chronically ill & have a part time professional job & DoorDash on the side, and I’m absolutely exhausted lol. Keep doing great work, thank you!
Thank you! It's confusing when people criticize me as being negative, when in the same breath they're criticizing other influencers for being too positive. It's bizarre. Don't we want influencers to be critical?!
@@StateofKait We love you, and I also appreciate the ruthlessness. But there are many people out there, and different sets have different views. Kind of like politics. Can't please everyone.
I used to be heavily into the beauty space on TH-cam, and as I've gotten a little bit older I've lost interest in all the people who focus on super energetic videos with lots of cuts and sounds and and and. I just don't have the patience for that kind of video anymore, which is why I've been loving your channel. Straight to the point with no sugar coating and no gratuitous product collection in the background. I have a feeling you're going to be the reason I get back into makeup, which really is a self-care activity for me 😃
@@StateofKaitso glad you kept it. The candy pink shade looked great on you. I’m so glad to finally see a pink because I find CT lipstick is so peachy brown on me.
Ok, I’m sure this is a weird thing for to comment on but thank you so much for mentioning the metal packaging! The sound and feel of metal on metal makes me want to peel my skin off while projectile vomiting. I thought I was the only one! Thank you for seeing me. 15:35
ME TOO, I thought I was alone but the feeling/sound of metal on metal literally makes me feel like I have to unzip my skin suit and throw up. You are my people!
Kait, you are so astute about what fits you and what does not-and that’s not the norm for so many TH-cam Makeup People. Thanks for the fun romp through some new goodies! And your house looks darling! Congrats!
Omg I appreciate the detailed fragrance descriptions SO MUCH! That's the one thing that will absolutely make or break a product for me. Also the experience with the sensory issues and packaging descriptions. Helps me so much to determine if a product is for me. Bless ❤
You look so beautiful with your hair pulled back. Most people can't carry that off as well but your eyes really pop and are gorgeous. Love this content!
Im a brand new subscriber here, and I have to say I love this video. You are completely real, you aren't saying anyitng for clout or pay out and I highly respect that. And you had me rolling with the whole jelly blush bit with the influencers doing the shock bit when the blush doesn't blend hahaha. Im gonna stick around here :)
Yes to the CT lipliners!!! Loving the Moira eyeshadow, gorgeous! Thank you for being honest about the Tower28 lippies, I'm in love with the shade Ube Vanilla but heavy fragrance makes my lips peel horribly. For a house described as "needs some work" it looks beautiful!!! But I'm a Realtor, I know better than to judge by looks alone. But the exterior & kitchen look great!!!
I don't remember saying it needs work because it doesn't! It's a relatively new build, but because it's SO small, we have to do some work to solve the challenges of the small space. The yard is also wild, unlandscaped, and not fenced in. So those are the projects we're working on!
Fantastic, that's fun stuff!!! Working outside is so much more fun than demolition & work inside I think. Less intrusive to your life. Summer is coming, things will bloom quick!! It's gorgeous, happy for you guys.I'm all about butts in homes!@@StateofKait
Your channel is the gifted adhd dream beauty channel!!! It’s so overwhelming following every trend and other channels’ corporate asskissy reviews. You sort right through the bs 😅
Thank you for talking openly about your hEds. It is so important for us Sebras that people are making awareness of it. I have just recently found your channel and i´m loving your content.
It’s definitely challenging to have less space, but seems like you’re on the right path with not buying backups of things, getting to know yourself and your preferences. I feel ya! We’re 4 people in an apartment I used to consider big, it seems we’re just growing out of it! But the thing is, I just think we have too much stuff, know what I mean? So at least when it comes to backups, I try to think «store it at the store»😂 But I’m not good at it. It’s a journey, definitely!
your detailed reviews and conscientiousness/awareness regarding overconsumption and beauty hoarding is so so refreshing and incredible. i am so grateful for your channel! ❤
This was such a great format of video! Really liked the counter element and how it forced you to consider your whole collection. Always appreciate the time and effort you put into giving us good and valuable information-congrats on the new house!
Hi Kait, I love everything you picked to keep. I was almost on the edge of my seat when you were trying to pick which Thrive color...in my head I was yelling, "pick Jo, pick Jo," and then you did!🤩Congrats on your new house!!💚
I think I discovered you earlier this week and Ive seen a few more of your videos since, and honestly, you're becoming one of my favourites. You're so well spoken with a calm voice. One of my main issues (due to audio processing and the like) is the LOUD way some talk on camera. Also totally agree, metal on metal is toe curling
Speaking as a 58 year old woman who obsessively adores all things makeup and skincare, and for my skin tinted moisturizers and serums is the way to go !! The glow and hydration that they give me , and wear beautifully throughout the day here in Palm Beach ,Florida is perfection 👌!! And I’ve often mentioned that what may not work for one demographic can work flawlessly for another 💁♀️😍👍!!!
Totally. I just mean that you don’t *need* to buy a separate product, since you can make a tinted moisturizer using a foundation if you didn’t want to have to buy multiple products.
My favourite channel! You‘re beautiful inside and out❤no fake beauty, no fake face, no weird filters and you‘re honest!! I love you x greetings from Germany😊
Thank you. Your videos are unique due to your personality, vocabulary (I HATE the clichés make up lingo that most use), astute and honest critiques. I rely on you to be ruthless (someone below used this word - perfect!). I have way too many foundations in my collection, including Armani and Dior (my expensive faves) and L'Oréal Pro Glow (all-time drugstore fave). The Missha and Erborian BB creams are wonderful in the summer, though. Anyway, keep sharing and being original - lots of fun!
Thank you so much for your ruthlessness and attention to detail! Finding honest reviews like yours is rare. I appreciate you calling out the menthol strength in lip products. I live in the Midwest, so it’s cold basically half the year, and I don’t want to get a lip product that I can’t use for half of its shelf life. Paying attention to sensory issues like that is very important.
I love your "ruthlessness" because you're so honest and real it's most helpful in making purchasing decisions. I wondered what did you think of the Milk Jelly Tints as lip stains? Are they drying? Long lasting?
Thank you! They're a water stain so they will not add any hydration or moisture to the lips, you'll want to add a balm or gloss on top. They are lovely as lip stains, incredibly long-wearing. I've shown them a bunch on my lips on IG stories.
The blush stain goes on really well with the miniature stippling brush from Wet n Wild off Amazon it's like only a dollar or two so it doesn't matter if you ruin the brush lol... but I like the sort of stipple where I want the blush, and then to blend it a bit with a blender ASAP, super fast before it sets! My face also eats cream blushes so I really like these
Always so thorough, informative, and I so appreciate your genuineness and care for the value of our money and experience - keep it up, you also look great and fresh in pink, and congratulations on the move!
Congratulations on your new home! You look fabulous and your joy shines through your face! I hope that having that private sanctuary gives you peace on those days where you feel like crap. We just moved into our new home. That was after spending over a year living with my father in law (he moved in with us). The house was being built and because of COVID they were behind by about 18mths. That's a long time in someone's basement. We get a ton of sunshine and that helps with my mood when I am in a flare. Great videos Kait! I hope you enjoy making your new house a home! ❤
I lived with my partner's parents in their house for a year and a half while we were saving up during the pandemic. I feel you. We paid our dues and can now enjoy our own private spaces! Yay us! ❤
The packaging is so hard to squeeze! I don’t get it, I know Selena has challenges gripping products so I’m stumped why she and her team made that choice.
I agree about the CT pink lipstick. It just doesn’t feel very you, or something you’d reach for although it’s pretty on you! I’m dying to see you in the CT lippie I grabbed though!
I have to say I almost never watch videos this long all the way through but I was totally all in on this one Kait! And your declutter was brutal to the point of me going “no!!!! Just keep them BOTH or ALL! Forget the ‘only 20’ count!” to some things 😂 really interesting, really informative and loved all the swatches! I think you look good in all of it seriously. (I say keep all 4 CT products including the red lipstick 😋)
I appreciate how anti-consumerism you are!! Seeing those enormous collections of skincare and makeup can be disheartening sometimes lol, so it’s nice to see smthn more realistic and less ridiculous
Thanks! It's a push and pull though. I'm very conflicted between balancing a review-based channel with wanting to spend less money and promote less spending.
Kate, I love that you show swatches of everything on your face. What would be really helpful for me is when you show the products on your face and hold up the product, if you could also put the name of the product and the color you’re showing on the screen as well. I tend to take screenshots and that extra bit of information would be super helpful! Thank you always for your in-depth content!❤
ur my new favorite I found you looking for blushes and you helped with like everything I really like ur take on things and u helped me find the Moira shadows and omg girl I gotta full basket idk how you u have so much discipline when it comes to how you only keep some of the colors your like of certain products I love how unbiased u r ur just great I like ur no bullsh*! attitude
Congrats on your new house!!!!! Also love love love the blazer! I love the rare beauty hand lotion - I tried it out for a couple weeks with some point perk samples so I knew I’d love it when I bought it. I have sensitive face skin but not sensitive hands so I don’t mind the fragrance.
Was going to buy one of the products mentioned here and came to remind myself of your review! I really adore your unbiased view and your “keep” or “give” system.
I love your initial video cover photos so much! The ones with products around you. It sometimes makes it easier to find a specific video about a product you had talked about and also makes the video more clickable and enticing. I much prefer it over the ones you’ve chosen recently. And I don’t think I’m the only one.
That’s actually incorrect! I run an AB Test software and all the thumbnails you see on my channel currently are the best performing ones. The minimal designs have gotten significantly more clicks, it’s very fascinating to see the data. The thumbnails with all the products around me generally are the #3 best performing thumbnail.
Just found your channel. Your videos are so well organized and very easy to follow. Also loved how you demo in different lighting for the eye shadow and liners. Really helpful!
Kait the background of your kitchen looks adorable and as far as where you sit and make your videos should be the most comfortable fir you, I’ll take a video from you in any vicinity. I love your reviews on products because if you like it I know it must be fantastic. I have heard nothing but bad reviews on the summer fridays lip oils until your rave reviews, now I know I will like them. Thank you for your beautiful and honest reviews and again congrats on the new home. 😘
I think the summer Fridays lip oils are really nice! Not my favorite, but they have a nice gel-like quality it y for a lip oil while still remaining lightweight. Not life changing though
I bought the mini Makeup forever, and I do really like it. Luckily I can’t smell much of anything. But I find myself wearing it more than anything I have!
I’m so jealous of everyone loving the new MUFE foundation! It didn’t look great on me (normal to dry, redness, acne, some texture) and wore poorly, but I wanted to love it so badly.
Hi kait, I’m a new subscriber and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate honest and ruthless reviews! I sometimes feel other influencers are too damn generous. 😂 Also a big thank you for the fitglo concealer recommendation, I tried a sample and cannot imagine being without it now.
definitely adding the saltair to my list - fragrance notes are so me, for one thing lol, but i have hair very similar to yours so excited to see how it performs.
Damn...really want the shade Soul in the Bodyography blushes but the shipping to Toronto is almost $20! Congrats on the new home! Ojai looks like an amazing place to live!
You’re gorgeous! Just found you, looking forward to soaking up your content. My daughter is 18 and has EDS, POTS, MCAS. She has had a tough journey but is living her best college life. I LOVE seeing others out there following their passion and being successful against the odds. Thank you ❤️
Make Up Forever really does me dirty with the fragrance. A memorably cringe purchase for me was when I impulse bought a mini of their redness correcting primer. I had glanced at the ingredient list but somehow missed the fragrance. I didn’t miss it when the scent smacked me in the face as soon as I squeezed the product out of the tube though 😭. It smelled heavily perfumed. My bad for not more carefully scanning the ingredient list before buying, but that product made me mad. How are you gonna make a redness corrector with an ingredient known to aggravate redness lol. As someone with rosacea, that really disappointed me. Unfortunately I will be passing on their new foundation due to the added fragrance as well. 😔 I did pick up the Tower 28 lipsoftie and the Summer Fridays lip oil tho~
First of all, CONGRATS on finally being in the new house, it looks absolutely incredible!!! If that's your front door in some of the clips I'm incredibly jealous! Secondly, thank you so so much for all your hard work in this video. You went over absolutely everything I've been eyeing lately! I'm absolutely picking up the shade sugar crush from Moira & I was legit just looking at those persona liners last night! I have their black liner & it's one of my all time fav black liners! I'm definitely intrigued by the cosmic raspberry product 👀 as someone who is lip balm/lip oil/lip treatment obsessed? It feels like a no brainer! 😅💜 oh! I also totally sympathize with the sensory issue! Im like that with cardboard on cardboard or paper on paper 🫨🫨🫨 the sound is absolutely unbearable! I just assume it's because im ND!
LOVE candy chic! I bought it 😊 however I’ve been trying to find the right lip liner~ just popped icon baby in my cart! That combo looks awesome on you! I really like the Haus labs new lip glaze- I’ve been debating about trying the summer Fridays 🤔 thanks for your honest reviews!! ❤
Also buying the Glaze from Make Beauty! I’ve never even heard of that company. One of my fav one and done is the Dior mono in tulle- this will look gorgeous over it!! 🎉
I feel the same when it comes to mufe foundation, it’s one of the best foundation I have ever tried, but I must say, I have never smelled the fragrance. I think that this one and the LS from Armani are very similar. Love both 🌸
Loved the video Kait! ❤ I rarely have opinions that are different from yours, as we seem to like the same things! I did however hate the milk jelly and I love my new Tower 28 lip balm in Blood Orange Vanilla! 😂 But you're right, the applicator for the lip balm SUCKS!!! I can't understand why they would pick something like that! I often have to use my finger to apply it. I really hope they change the packaging, because I love the texture, scent and color of it! Thanks for another great video! Love the new house! ❤😊
I love this background and your lighting. Girl you are looking incredible today! Your hair looks so full. You sold me on the Charlotte candy lipstick. I bought it with Ulta points. I’m hoping to find the tower28 lippies in store so I can swatch them. I want to try one shade. Adding the persona liners and summer Fridays lip oils to my wishlist
Great job!! My favorite red/pink is CT's "The Queen," although my skin shade and tone is different than you. Love the detail! And hope you enjoy Ojai. When I was younger I used to go to a discount spa owned by Shelia. The workouts, swimming, healthy food, and sleep always recharged me! And... I was always surprised by the musicians that would visit :-) Enjoy!
Ugh I feel ya on the fragrance! I adore my Chanel ultra le teint foundation but it has fragrance. I'll def need to try Armani! I'm also looking to try the Thrive Causemetics cc cream since their other makeup is so great. I just tried their stick blush and it's soooo good.
Here's what I'm wearing:

I appreciate how anti-consumerism you are!! Seeing those enormous collections of skincare and makeup can be disheartening sometimes lol, so it’s nice to see smthn more realistic and less ridiculous
Thanks! It's a push and pull though. I'm very conflicted between balancing a review-based channel with wanting to spend less money and promote less spending.
Love your no bs approach to reviews. And I miss Ojai Ca. It’s beautiful. I lived in Pt. Mugu Ca. On the navy base for a while .
Congrats on buying a house Kait!!! Major milestone 🤩
Thank you!
I actually love that Charlotte Tilbury red on you - looks so chic yet impactful with your colouring.
Kate, I love that you show swatches of everything on your face. What would be really helpful for me is when you show the products on your face and hold up the product, if you could also put the name of the product and the color you’re showing on the screen as well. I tend to take screenshots and that extra bit of information would be super helpful! Thank you always for your in-depth content!❤
Just found your videos so enjoyed it. From a mature 66year old with combo skin but dry under eyes
ur my new favorite I found you looking for blushes and you helped with like everything I really like ur take on things and u helped me find the Moira shadows and omg girl I gotta full basket idk how you u have so much discipline when it comes to how you only keep some of the colors your like of certain products I love how unbiased u r ur just great I like ur no bullsh*! attitude
I was doing my finances while watching your video, a great combination! Thank you for your authenticity and continued devotion🍉❤
Aww thanks for the love
Buffy coral and veiled rose are so so perfect on you, they stepped up their shade game 🥰
Right?! That nude collection is so good
Congrats on your new house!!!!! Also love love love the blazer! I love the rare beauty hand lotion - I tried it out for a couple weeks with some point perk samples so I knew I’d love it when I bought it. I have sensitive face skin but not sensitive hands so I don’t mind the fragrance.
Was going to buy one of the products mentioned here and came to remind myself of your review! I really adore your unbiased view and your “keep” or “give” system.
I have just bought a few of your recommendations and I am so happy with all of them. ❤️
the Moira eyeshadow on you with no mascara, wow! ethereal
The Charlotte Tilbury lip products (Icon Baby and Candy Chic) look beautiful!
I ended up keeping them and I LOVE them, been wearing them non stop since I filmed this video!
Congratulations on your new home!!
Thanks!
I love your initial video cover photos so much! The ones with products around you. It sometimes makes it easier to find a specific video about a product you had talked about and also makes the video more clickable and enticing. I much prefer it over the ones you’ve chosen recently. And I don’t think I’m the only one.
That’s actually incorrect! I run an AB Test software and all the thumbnails you see on my channel currently are the best performing ones. The minimal designs have gotten significantly more clicks, it’s very fascinating to see the data. The thumbnails with all the products around me generally are the #3 best performing thumbnail.
Also, thanks for swatching outside in natural light! So different from other influencers!
Anytime!
Just found your channel. Your videos are so well organized and very easy to follow. Also loved how you demo in different lighting for the eye shadow and liners. Really helpful!
Thank you!
You look soooo good with that CT red!
Thank you!
Kait the background of your kitchen looks adorable and as far as where you sit and make your videos should be the most comfortable fir you, I’ll take a video from you in any vicinity. I love your reviews on products because if you like it I know it must be fantastic. I have heard nothing but bad reviews on the summer fridays lip oils until your rave reviews, now I know I will like them. Thank you for your beautiful and honest reviews and again congrats on the new home. 😘
I think the summer Fridays lip oils are really nice! Not my favorite, but they have a nice gel-like quality it y for a lip oil while still remaining lightweight. Not life changing though
I bought the mini Makeup forever, and I do really like it. Luckily I can’t smell much of anything. But I find myself wearing it more than anything I have!
It's such a stunning finish
I’m so jealous of everyone loving the new MUFE foundation! It didn’t look great on me (normal to dry, redness, acne, some texture) and wore poorly, but I wanted to love it so badly.
Beauty products really are SO subjective
Hi kait, I’m a new subscriber and I can’t tell you how much I appreciate honest and ruthless reviews! I sometimes feel other influencers are too damn generous. 😂 Also a big thank you for the fitglo concealer recommendation, I tried a sample and cannot imagine being without it now.
Thank you! Means a lot
definitely adding the saltair to my list - fragrance notes are so me, for one thing lol, but i have hair very similar to yours so excited to see how it performs.
I’m so with you on the “clean” and scents - essential oil, natural, or otherwise. I can’t wear any Kosas because of their scent.
Damn...really want the shade Soul in the Bodyography blushes but the shipping to Toronto is almost $20! Congrats on the new home! Ojai looks like an amazing place to live!
Thank you!
You are beautiful inside and out😍. So glad I found your channel!
Thank you so much
You’re gorgeous! Just found you, looking forward to soaking up your content. My daughter is 18 and has EDS, POTS, MCAS. She has had a tough journey but is living her best college life. I LOVE seeing others out there following their passion and being successful against the odds. Thank you ❤️
Make Up Forever really does me dirty with the fragrance. A memorably cringe purchase for me was when I impulse bought a mini of their redness correcting primer. I had glanced at the ingredient list but somehow missed the fragrance. I didn’t miss it when the scent smacked me in the face as soon as I squeezed the product out of the tube though 😭. It smelled heavily perfumed. My bad for not more carefully scanning the ingredient list before buying, but that product made me mad. How are you gonna make a redness corrector with an ingredient known to aggravate redness lol. As someone with rosacea, that really disappointed me.
Unfortunately I will be passing on their new foundation due to the added fragrance as well. 😔
I did pick up the Tower 28 lipsoftie and the Summer Fridays lip oil tho~
Seriously, I don't understand why they add so much fragrance!
First of all, CONGRATS on finally being in the new house, it looks absolutely incredible!!! If that's your front door in some of the clips I'm incredibly jealous! Secondly, thank you so so much for all your hard work in this video. You went over absolutely everything I've been eyeing lately! I'm absolutely picking up the shade sugar crush from Moira & I was legit just looking at those persona liners last night! I have their black liner & it's one of my all time fav black liners! I'm definitely intrigued by the cosmic raspberry product 👀 as someone who is lip balm/lip oil/lip treatment obsessed? It feels like a no brainer! 😅💜 oh! I also totally sympathize with the sensory issue! Im like that with cardboard on cardboard or paper on paper 🫨🫨🫨 the sound is absolutely unbearable! I just assume it's because im ND!
Thank you!
I feel like there's so much more to colors than matching undertone and vibrancy. Sometimes they have to match our personalities too.
What a fun video! Congrats on the new house, I adore Ojai! May we know which blazer you are wearing?
Thanks! It’s an old Aritzia babaton blazer from many years ago. I do see some people are selling used versions on Poshmark
I moved from owning a 2,500 sqft house in Virginia to owning a 700 sqft house in Utah as of last year. The lack of space is insane 😅
DAMN, respect
Ohhh I love the whole Good Light line and the lip toner looks fun! I’m like the exact target audience for that haha I’m all for an extra lip product
Me too 😊 and it really does add a lonely amount of hydration (and a delicious smell.) just remember to add an occlusive balm on top to lock it in
That Red Carpet Red lip liner is shockingly beautiful! I love that. - B
I agree, such an odd choice for the tower 28 lippies that no one asked for 😂
LOVE candy chic! I bought it 😊 however I’ve been trying to find the right lip liner~ just popped icon baby in my cart! That combo looks awesome on you! I really like the Haus labs new lip glaze- I’ve been debating about trying the summer Fridays 🤔 thanks for your honest reviews!! ❤
Also buying the Glaze from Make Beauty! I’ve never even heard of that company. One of my fav one and done is the Dior mono in tulle- this will look gorgeous over it!! 🎉
I did like the new Haus Labs lip glaze but I feel like I have SO many formulas like it, I wouldn't ever reach for it over my thicker glossy balms.
Always appreciate your thorough reviews!
Omg that CT red lip liner ❤❤❤ that matte red lip is so good 😍😍😍😍 if you haven’t found a friend who wants it, I’d grab it when I’m in LA 🫶🏽
The Candy Pink really suits you but I always think you look your best in cool tone makeup :)
Thank you, I have been loving it lately! I'm so glad I kept it.
Congratulations on your new home! Would love a tour if you are comfortable!
Thanks! Sadly, some hate-watchers found my new home address so unfortunately my partner and I don’t feel comfortable showing the house anymore :/
I feel the same when it comes to mufe foundation, it’s one of the best foundation I have ever tried, but I must say, I have never smelled the fragrance. I think that this one and the LS from Armani are very similar. Love both 🌸
I dont love the Charlottet Tilbury pink lipsticks on you but I do love the Romand glosses lol. The colors look really great!
I want blushes and lippies in the color of your blazer 😂😂 perfect mauve!
Me too! The blazer truly is the perfect rosy mauve.
Loved the video Kait! ❤ I rarely have opinions that are different from yours, as we seem to like the same things! I did however hate the milk jelly and I love my new Tower 28 lip balm in Blood Orange Vanilla! 😂 But you're right, the applicator for the lip balm SUCKS!!! I can't understand why they would pick something like that! I often have to use my finger to apply it. I really hope they change the packaging, because I love the texture, scent and color of it! Thanks for another great video! Love the new house! ❤😊
I love the Makeup Forever foundation but never noticed a scent!
Thrive gloss is just like Buxom. Copycats😂 adhd I HATE THAT MINT. I FEEL IT IN MY THROAT AND STOMACH 😮
But Thrive has peptides, which Buxom doesn't have!
I'm aged 60. I just found your channel. You are fabulous!!! Alas, honesty❤
Love the CT peachy lipstick and liner on you
I love this background and your lighting. Girl you are looking incredible today! Your hair looks so full. You sold me on the Charlotte candy lipstick. I bought it with Ulta points. I’m hoping to find the tower28 lippies in store so I can swatch them. I want to try one shade. Adding the persona liners and summer Fridays lip oils to my wishlist
I think the pinky CT lip combo looks wonderful on you
omg Joe is so pretty on u it's my favorite outta the thrives
thanks!
Great job!! My favorite red/pink is CT's "The Queen," although my skin shade and tone is different than you. Love the detail! And hope you enjoy Ojai. When I was younger I used to go to a discount spa owned by Shelia. The workouts, swimming, healthy food, and sleep always recharged me! And... I was always surprised by the musicians that would visit :-) Enjoy!
Ojai is the most amazing place, we are beyond lucky to live here
You will love living in Ojai. I am from Santa Barbara and my bestie is in Ojai, it is a great place to live!
Already in love with it! Best place I’ve ever lived
Your house looks so cute! Congrats! I'm so sad MUFE put fragrance in that foundation- it sounds incredible! - Britta
Aww thanks! And I'm soooo bummed about the fragrance in that foundation :/
You looked beautiful in this video!
Oh thank you!
Ugh I feel ya on the fragrance! I adore my Chanel ultra le teint foundation but it has fragrance. I'll def need to try Armani!
I'm also looking to try the Thrive Causemetics cc cream since their other makeup is so great. I just tried their stick blush and it's soooo good.
