What do you consider to be the most overhyped makeup product or brand?
Tirtir Cushion Foundation
CT for sure .The magic cream? There's nothing magic about it. And I have dry skin and it was tragic ( ofcourse I tried it at half price) Kbeauty has so much better creams for a fraction for the price. And some other products .( that beautyverse eyeshadow palette last year, I got it as a gift from my sister in sales ofcourse, it was the most terrible eye palette I tried) And PML oh my... "special shades"? Mothership 4 shades " special " fallout party 😅and the rest palette was desert dry and tragic shimmers ( the hyped bronze seduction I caved because I like green and gold, found it half price. I gave it away after some attempts to make a decent eyelook. Never again 😮) The wet dry formula from TF didn't understand the hype for me personally it was not worth it , so underwhelming. Bobbi brown luxe baked eyeshadow much higher quality and cheaper ( especially on sales and they last forever) Just a few examples, they are so many overhyped products out there .Much love from Greece 🇬🇷 ❤
@@AndreaMatillano imo patrick ta. His latest eyeshadow duos sealed it for me
@@monicapatton1405 great call! I agree
@AndreaMatillano im sorry for this bc it's totally unrelated to this video but I think i have a good video idea for you if you're interested...talk about/ reminisce over discontinued makeup/beauty products/ brands that were very good: here's a few of my faves that are gone: NYC, wetn wild cushion foundation, bare minerals original ready compact foundation, and countless more. Sorry for the randomness
I think influencers are the ones buying these products and boosting the sales for a lot of brands these days.
It’s definitely true! Influencers create a lot of hype and drive sales for brands. I think TikTok has been responsible for so much of the overhype surrounding products over the past year.
I don't think it's the influencers buying them, I think it's the brands sending the influences free stuff then the influences giving glowing reviews in undisclosed ads that then causes their audience to go crazy over the products and buy them
Influencers are brands meal tickets. They can send free product to many influencers for the fraction of the price of traditional advertising. And get so much more attention.
It's wild.
The ones who buy products, you mean...
@nunyabusiness3582 yes & the makeup guru gets a commission on sales of the products . Such a racket. SO FAKE
What is crazy to me is that back in like 2014-2019, we really did make a big hype around launches because the formulations were incredible and NEW. That rare beauty liquid blush did so well because there wasn’t really another like it that performed as well.
The thing is… we’re now into 2025 and we have incredible drugstore and luxury formulas in very expansive shade ranges. Now it feels like influencers are just acting like there’s a lot of hype while the viewers are barely buying anything anymore.
Very true! It’s on the rare side to see a truly innovative product/formula these days. Consumers are smarter with their purchases and don’t feel pressure to buy every single new launch just because it promises to be the next best thing.
I agree with this so hard! I miss these times. Because when a product was hyped you are right it was usually really good where as literally everything now is overhyped.
Yessss 🙌🏼
aside from just trying to be a conscious consumer, I will never base my lip product purchases of of results on overly filled lips. It's just not the result most people are going to achieve. It's not a knock on cosmetic procedures but I have got to see what that lip product looks like on lips that have lines and are much closer to natural size.
Totally agree. 👍
I get turned off wanting to buy a product when I see it on overfilled lips.
The thing that annoys me are luxury brands that put out mediocre products in drugstore type packaging, but still charge luxury prices. Pat McGrath and CT palettes in plastic or cardboard packaging but cost $65 or more is insane! High end packaging in general is looking more and more like drugstore.
I got both the PM mattetrance bullet and the liquilust out of all the hype for the formulas and thought maybe the quality was worth the splurge. The packaging gives Revlon and the liquid lipstick transfers like crazy because it never fully dries. The bullet is a nice formula but honestly not noticeably better than a lot of drugstore lipsticks I have. I had serious buyer's remorse 💀
I can't spend $100 on a moisturizer. I just can't.
It’s so ridiculously priced, especially when it’s something you would have to repurchase over and over.
Seriously. My dermatologist recommends Cerave, not Charlotte Tilbury.
I can't justify spending more than $60 on a skincare product. I bought the newest Glow Recipe face cream for $40 to use as a daytime face cream and love it.
Makeup Revolution has a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream. It’s called Miracle Cream and runs around $12. I can’t afford $100 either so I’m thrilled there is a quality dupe for it.
There is nothing in there justifying the price. Possibly people didnt moisturize there face before so therefore dryness and wrinkles from that went away.
There is nothing “unique” in formulas anymore. The only difference is literally packaging and marketing.
I kind of agree with you, it's pretty much why I've taken a shift towards Korean and Chinese beauty. Not only are some of their prices lower, some companies finally expanded their shade ranges and their products are so good!
@@Rosario_Aster Not to mention how many product ideas and trends the main stream market steals from Asian trends to make them look better and more popular disgusts me so much also the Korean brand Clio has the best mascara on the market it is $18-20 and not waterproof but their formula is more dry if that’s what you like ofc but their formula on that mascara is insane the wand is tiny and you don’t even feel the wand going on your eyes but it does lengthen your lashes beautifully ofc it comes in 5 different versions and it’s literally the most smudge proof mascara I’ve ever tried I even fell asleep on accident with full face makeup on and that mascara didn’t budge one bit
I have been extremely underwhelmed with every charlotte tilbury and most hourglass products I’ve purchased 🙄 I reach for my Colorpop and drugstore products way more than any of my high end stuff honestly
I like Anastasia Beverly Hills and Patrick ta
Definitely agree with you. It’s hard to justify to high end and luxury priced when drugstore products perform just as great these days.
I LOVE the wisdom in this video, Andrea. It's giving 'permission' to be content with drugstore products which, honestly, is what most of us can afford. Thank you.
Im disabled therefore on a fixed income & i can still afford high-end brands but that’s because I know how to shop and I also save these purchases for Black Friday/cyber Monday when they will be the cheapest. On cyber Monday on the Flip app I got so much Patrick ta make up for nine dollars
Thank you for your kind comment! 💗
I noticed how the more hyped a brand is, the more adverse I am towards it. It usually works😊. I have fallen for the hype here and there, but I know "influencers" often are not transparent. Therefore, I try to be a smart consumer. Work in progress for sure. These videos are helpful to remind us to take a step back. Some consumers defend a brand like it is a personal matter 😂.
It is always interesting to see just how strongly loyal some people are to certain brands! I think it’s a good practice to avoid falling into the hype because even though it works out sometimes, often the hype isn’t justified. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! 💗
Charlotte Tilbury is like an infomercial. Everything is Magical Darling!. Rhodes is obviously giving tons of pr away to get these bs reviews bc the lip peptides are like putting sand on ur lips, gross!.
Very true! I was watching some of her Instagram reels while editing this video and I was actually surprised how salesy she has started to come off in her content.
Great video. This makes me sad. They're preying on our insecurities... Fear of aging, FOMO, Skin imperfections, Trying to make money off of us. I'm so grateful for youtubers like you who can cut through the hype and give us suggestions of nice products at Affordable price points. No makeup or skincare or is life-changing yet that's what's being promised.
Very true! 😭 I’ve fallen for the hype so much over the years. It’s definitely a big goal of mine to not overhype products because like you said nothing is life changing.
@AndreaMatillano Thank you so much! You're the best :)
I agree with you a lot. When I was younger I also fell into these traps and thought more expensive = better, now I found that it's not the case at all and I'm just immune to these hypes.
I was thinking this the other day. It’s a flex at this point to not be influenced in today’s major advertising noise everywhere you turn!
Yes to part 2, always ❤
A great dupe for the CT cream is the Revolution Pro Miracle Cream- it’s a cross between CT & Bobbi Brown Face Base- ingredient deck is super similar too. You can get it between $10-$15
Oh, that’s really good to know! Thank you for sharing this with us! 🙌
The packaging on the new CT 9 pans is so cheap. I would go with colour pop definitely x
Great video. For sure a part 2 would be cool. Thanks for being here, we appreciate you.
"Patrick Ta fatigue" lolllll
You are one of the few YT’er that I watch and trust. Thank you so much for your honesty.
That means so much! Thank you for watching my videos. ❤
Revlon glassy shine lipstick is similar to Hourglass and all the other high end shine balms. I love revlon lippies.
Yes to a Part 2 ❤
im so glad i found you. u are one of the honest youtubers out there, appreciate you!❤
That means so much. Thank you for your kind words! ❤
I got that magic cream a few years back to review and ended up giving it to my mom when I noticed that vegetable oil was a major ingredient. My oil skin is too sensitive to even try that.
Oh I wonder if that’s what causes a lot of people to break out! I’ve read some reviews on Sephora saying it’s not great for acne prone skin
@@AndreaMatillano Probably. Between the vegetable oil and shea butter it's not a great formula for acne prone skin.
So I could buy the magic cream on my grocery aisle? Plus maybe get a bogo????
I knew you were gonna go for those Rare Beauty soft pop blushes! I love them 😆 Mine work fine, and I don't need to use them as a topper.
Revolution came out with a dupe for the CT
Magic cream and IT IS AMAZING!!😂
These influencers must have a fortune to spend on makeup or get tons pr but it’s frustrating to be recommended these items that end up being poor quality and then they move on to something else the following week 😒
Thanks for the comments on overhyped brands. I have definitely fallen for a few of these products and had regrets.
Ten years ago, I only knew one TH-camr who used CT and I suspect it was partly to flaunt wealth. I’m surprised it’s blown up so much over the years.
It’s been interesting to see how much hype the brand has gotten! I feel like a lot of it had to do with her blush and highlight wands.
I completely agree about Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadows. I like the Diamond Eyes pop shot and the Fire Rose quad but everything else I’ve tried (including the bigger holiday palettes, Pillow Talk, Exagger-eyes - which I’ve heard people rave about - and different shades of the pop shots) have been really disappointing to me.
I so appreciate how real you are. There's a difference in my mind between a content creator, and an influencer. The former: we do what we love, and we talk about it on the Internet, whether or not we get paid for it. The ladder become tools of the brands and they don't even realize it because the brands take care of them. So long as they are useful. Merit has one more chance in my book. I tried the solo cream Shadows. Within one month I had to get rid of the one I bought. It got weirdly tacky and dusty. I will try two products from a brand. If I'm not happy with either one I'm basically over them.
Its already Monday in Greece 🇬🇷 its 12:30 after midnight. Fun fact i was watching another video of yous just finished watching 😅And lo and behold a notification for a new upload, i was waiting for one 😊 And another great one 😊( speaking of CT all her products are overhyped and overpriced for what they are.And those new palettes whats with packaging? Makeup revolution inspired but not MR prices obviously 😅)Much love from Greece 🇬🇷 my beautiful Andrea ❤🎉🎉❤
Thank you so much for watching my videos! I appreciate you so so much! 🥰💗 I was honestly really surprised to see that packaging for a $70 palette! 😱 I feel like brands are getting cheaper with their packaging and including less product, but raising their prices.
Kelly Gooch recently did a video on brands marketing makeup as skincare. What are your thoughts on that? Like Glow Recipe releasing a skincare makeup hybrid, but calling it a flush not a blush.
They needed to come up with a way to hype & make the blush seem different… for we all have 40+ at this stage, so flush it is lol
I’m no fan of Patrick Ta (for the price). I’ve returned two palettes in 10 years. His freaking palette was one of them. Just no. Not that good.
I definitely see people saying the same thing lately. I’ve heard people say their palettes grew mold after a few months. 😭
Not just because of this, Patrick himself is such a cringe guy. Doesn't pay black influencers and he makes an apology video crying. (He deleted his first video that's not that performative and put the second one)
@@anandeztvseries8498 I find his voice very irksome. Like the flat, emotionless tone he uses for describing products, apologizing and such. It makes him seem like he has better things to do than care for the concerns of his customers.
@@mashimellow909 irksome, yeah
Loved your transparency and honesty!
Love this video. Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
The lip liners from rhode CMR off so easy when applying a gloss on it . Someone reviewed it and showed it come right off .
I totally agree about the Merit eyeshadows. No matter what I did they applied patchy. I finally gave up and threw it out. I know alot of people like them but I couldn't get it to work for me.
I’m glad it wasn’t just me! Honestly, I’m surprised they didn’t do more shimmer shades. They had the one limited edition launch but it seems like shimmers might be more forgiving on the eyes since the formula ended up looking a little patchy.
I have exactly the same issues with Merit eyeshadow.
Every time I think I want to buy the Merit single shadow, I go to Sephora and the testers are SO dried out that I never buy one.
They really are wonderful but if you don’t close the lid tightly (it kind of locks when you turn it tightly) they will dry out just like any other cream shadow.
There’s a beautiful girl in my town who wears Elf almost exclusively. Her understanding of application and technique makes even the most inexpensive products look incredible.
Definitely Rhode beauty, clean makeup is super overrated and definitely a passing trend and a lot of these brands sell products at a expensive price for minimal payoff
Yes! I feel like we have seen such an uptick in the amount of brands selling a tiny amount of products for an exorbitant price point. Agree with you on clean beauty too.
Yes. Also this is a Justin Bieber related brand and most Canadians hate him.
THIS!!
Threw away the Saie concealer, returned the Makeup By Mario Ethereal Moonlight palette. Eventually bought the Makeup by Mario Master Mattes The Neutrals and love that palette.
🌸🌸🌸Rare Beaty’s packaging is NOT for those of us who have dexterity issues. The finishing powder, eye shadow palette, crème blushes, and (the worst) the powder blushes and highlighters are ridiculously hard to open. For a brand to ‘kind of’ leaned into that is absurd. That coupled with her completely ‘out of touch and reality’ rant the other day, I won’t be supporting the brand anymore. It’s crazy how things are overhyped. And the whole process of this phenomenon REALLY lets you see what content creators are disingenuous and the ones you can trust. Great video Andrea 🌸🌸🌸
What rant was it??
@ with her whining
Her "rant" against migrants being sent to Guantanamo Bay? That one?
@@lspbeautea4791she was upset over the migrants getting sent to git mo by trump. Idk why that would be a bad thing to be upset about!
Aside from Huda and Nastasha Denona, I'm bored with most mainstream brand eyeshadow. There are just too many overpriced, uninspiring mid-tone neutral palettes with thin, dusty mattes and lackluster shimmers. Last year, I started paying more attention to the world of established indie brands eyeshadow and I feel inspired to be creative with my eye looks again. Sometimes I'll purchase an indie palette, while other times I'll simply look to the color story and dupe it within my collection.
It’s true! I have a few indie palettes and their formulas really blow mainstream palettes away. I always want to get more into indie brands and see what else they have to offer, but for some reason, it really overwhelms me!
I have to say the Magic Cream is nice but at present I’m using Revolution Miracle cream, which I love. I’ve already gone through two vases of the big jar. I do adore her powder products - blush, bronzer and, yes, eyeshadow quads.
I love how honest and respectful you were covering Patrick Ta. I totally agree. When I did a little more research on the blushes I noticed A LOTA of them not only look similar but I could achieve the same look with multiple blushes i already own. After trying the revolution palette you recommend...it was a done deal for me 😂 Patrick Ta is NOT worth the hype, respectfully
Thanks for the video Andrea❤
I like this current trend of “de-influencing”. I know if that is someone’s career, then they will try a lot of products. When I see some of the new launches I can almost have a FOMO mindset. But I’ve been getting better about saying no.
Yes! I understand because even as someone who tests out a lot of makeup. I sometimes feel like I’m missing out when I skip over a product that is getting a lot of buzz. I’ve been adding products to my cart and then waiting a few weeks and I feel like typically the buzz either dies down or I’m not as interested as I was when they first launched.
I have one of the holiday launches in the long palette and the formula was amazing and lasted so well. It has shimmer that doesn’t make my mature eyelids look crepey.
I feel like the pink (now purple) loose setting powders are way overhyped. Yes I fell for it and got a light pink one. I have to say I do enjoy it depending on my look that day and how it seamlessly blends right into my blush. But I only use it once in awhile. And I don’t understand the almost neon pinky/purply loose powder that all the influencers are raving about. 🤷♀️ I just don’t get it. The peach color I get, the light pink I get, that prism libre multi colored one works bc it blends the colors. Purple I don’t get. It’s a NO from me dawg. 😆 love these videos and would love to see a part two. Have a great week ahead. Hugs 💕
Yes to part 2 😊
Ugh I absolutely love the rare beauty lip oil stain. I just apply lip oil before the lip stain and my lips don’t get dry, the stain stays on forever, it looks so stunning, and the colors are beautiful
Thx so much for your reviews! I purchased and returned two MBM eye shadow palettes. I was not impressed and found the matte shadows to be patchy on me. I prefer ND palettes and also Viseart. I purchased the 25th anniversary mattes palette (sells for $80 but I got for half price during a sale so it was worth it). Yes to Part 2 plz.
I love magic cream. I'm 45 years old with super dry skin. This is the only cream that holds on the moisture under make-up. I feel sorry to pay all this for a moisturiser. However, during Black Friday sales, CT reduces the price of Magic Cream by 40% or even 2 for the price of one. That's when I buy for the year.
It really is the best when you can find a product that works that well for you! I feel similarly about the It Cosmetics eye cream! I know there are so many affordable alternatives out there but no matter how many I try, I always go back to that one even though it's a little more expensive. It's always nice to be able to get those higher end staples when they are on sale!
I love that you tell us the truth. The CT moisturizer did nothing for my face. I tried it as a primer didn’t like it either😂
I agree about the Mario palette being too expensive. I bought it and was so excited to try it. I used it everyday for two weeks and was disappointed with the end results all looking almost exactly the same. The glitters are too similar to really differentiate between them. The mattes are good but basics I have in many other palettes. I returned it and never looked back.
Loved this video! You have really great insight into the beauty world and these trends!
I bought the Charlotte Tilbury magic eye cream and it was such an unnecessary splurge. I used it all up but I can get so many cheaper and equally effective eye creams.
Merit has such great marketing but I knew that eye shadow was not for me lol
I get closer and closer to falling into the rhode marketing. I’ve yet to make a purchase but I truly think it’s because it’s not sold at Sephora or Ulta.
I think I am the only person who likes my rare beauty lip oil but I agree I think I like it because it is a stain and can layer lip products with it to get my desired look. I hope lip stains become the next trend inspired by k beauty because I am always looking for accessible versions
5:10 why are they using the palettes as phones!? 😂😂
ugh the Rare Beauty "lip oil." I was duped pretty bad - I got 3 around the launch and it was such a waste. At the time I had been looking for a hydrating lip oil with a shade range like that.
I still use them to this day but I'm still annoyed by all the influencers who hyped it up to be something it wasn't. Now I don't trust any influencer who only speaks positively about products - if I don't hear a con or a "but," I am disliking the content & clicking "Do not recommend this channel" in the hopes that my TH-cam algorithm will take the hint 😂 I just cannot waste my time on creators anymore who don't respect my time and my wallet. I love makeup more than I like buying it, so the online beauty community has been hard to navigate now that brands are flooding the space with sponsorships and PR.
I also can't stand Rhode Beauty. I used to be indifferent but now that every single creator is "obsessed," I can't help but be annoyed.I don't understand the cult-like obsession. It's nice to like things, but the obsession is just disturbing to me at this point 😅 The lip balms were literally crystalizing and no one seems to bat an eye! For that much money I should not be doing extra chemistry to make a lip balm work.
You look stunning in this video!!
Thank you for your honesty 🎉😊
Laroche Posay, Vanicream and Rephyr make excellent, affordable moisturizers. In Summer, I skip moisturizer on my face and just use sunscreen. I always put moisturizer on my neck.
It’s been at least 10 years, but the hype over powder highlighters drove me crazy. Seemed like every influencer’s face looked like an oil slick and each new release was earth shattering.
High end skincare like la mer and some charlotte tilbury products. If you pay attention to the ingredients you will notice some formulations are kind of similar to the things you can find in the grocery store or drugstore. Unless you have a very complicated skin condition like severe fungal or cystic acne, a lot of skin issues can be easily solved with more moisturizing, sunscreen, exfoliation, all things you can find way cheaper at a store near you. It'll be cheaper in volume over time compared to buying those tiny jars of moisturizer.
Andrea, fantastic video as always that is grounded in reality vs. hype. Also, I love your top - always looking for sleek options like this for work! Would you mind sharing where it’s from?
I fell for the Hourglass hype! I used points to get it. It was nice but like you said there are so many similar products at lower price points
I bought an Hourglass powder a few years ago, because of the hype. It was not blurring or mattifying enough for me, I was very underwhelmed. I have not bought anything else from the brand since.
Will you swatch compare the 5 pan ND to the MUBM all matte? I do love the gradient in the MUBM but for the price I’m not sure it’s worth it. I heard Nikki LaRose say he modeled those colors off of real skin tones which is cool.
I love your new content🥰
Your makeup looks so beautiful, I went straight to the info box to see what you were wearing 😂
That’s so nice of you, thank you! 🥰💗
So agree about Charlotte Tilbury magic cream!! I think it actually dried ky skin out :/
I love high end makeup and I love beautiful packaging. But I so agree with you on many of these. The hourglass lip gloss is nothing special. I have 2 and rarely use them as other formulas are better. I do love the merit single shadows though. But they are expensive.
I honestly think some of us are just tired of constant new launches. You hardly have time to figure out how uou feel about a product before there's something new out. I quit trying so many things. I bought four small makeup products today, and it's bern the first I've purchased in a year.
A ton of those rare beauty glowy blushes broke soooo much. Yes, absolutely people gave NO CONS bc they WANTA TO work with the brand, get PR, or the views bc its rare beauty. People are searchin reviews on the product.
Great video and a great pov. Broke it down the way most people needed, in order to understand marketing. Those Merit shadows. 100% agree. I feel the same way. I wanted to love it so much that I convinced myself that I did. Until I tried the Newly reformulated Maybelline tattoo shadows. They come in stick form. Blend beautifully and dont move. It was eye opening. Around the same time, the brand gave me the ick when I realized they only market and work with a very specific demographic. They dont actually care about their customers.
yes please do a part two!
Thank you for doing this video. I am personally so disappointed with people's infatuation with celebrity and other overhyped brands. I don't blame the companies but the consumers. I wish people wouldn't fall for the overhyped products. Try it first and if you love it, then you can say how great it is. Not before.
Hard pass on CT eyeshadows not buying anything Rhode not a fan of
I think I've bought one Charlotte Tillbury project, a lipstick I recall. I was in Sephora last night replacing The Ordinary products and swatched Patrick Ta glitter shadow "still at the club" I'll admit, it was pretty but I'm not a huge glitter girlie. I'm proud of myself for passing. The whole lip plumping claims are ridiculous!
Yes, please for a part 2.
IMO, one of the most overhyped makeup products is Milk Jelly blush. Almost everyone talked about it when it launched, but no one really uses it.
💯 agree!
I tried rare beauty liquid contour and i really like it and especially seeing the price point and amount of product you are getting
It's identical to the elf contour imo...
Anything Rare Beauty can be found with identical formulations at Milani, NYX, Maybelline or Elf.
All the lip products are more expensive dupes of the Korean brand Rom&nd.
I would like to mention one thing. Idk about how the makeup prices will go after the import tax thing from February 1st between US and Canada, since I live in Canada. But I will definitely shop less at Sephora unless the sale is going on. Makeup prices are indeed expen$ive enough these days.
I love the MBM palette you showed in the video. The one he released at the end of 2024 is so pretty but I agree ND is my favorite.
I joined the Iris app for this very reason. What’s overhyped and what’s worth it? You got me onto Iris over a year ago and I’m super active on there. I also don’t support charlotte tilbury anymore. The packaging and quality went downhill and their customer service was awful when I had an issue. There’s other brands I’d rather support! Thanks for the summary! Super helpful Andrea ❤
At Sephora Canada the Patrick Ta pallets are $98 - CAD is typically about 30% more than USD... so I refuse to pay full retail anymore. I like to see what to the hype is about but then I wait and look at actual reviews like yours and wait for it to go on sale lol if I really want it. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE buying high end makeup. TBH I think everything is overhyped now because of Shmick Schmok (as Tati calls it) and I'm more prone to buying brands that are owned by makeup artists than models or tv stars or whoever the flavor of the month is. Those products IMO are TOTALLY overhyped because everyone is so influenced by them. So I tend to stay FAR away from those brands purposely. It's an interesting time we're in right now. Thank you for putting out honest videos!
I have always known that when I watch one of your videos, I'm going to get the truth about every product. Thank you for making this video, as it expresses exactly how I feel towards over priced makeup. It's almost like the story of the "Emperor's New Clothes"!! I stopped buying high end makeup when I had to retire in 2016, and at the time, I thought my makeup looks and skin would suffer. I'm thrilled to say that is NOT the case. The only products I do splurge on every once in a while are powders and perfume. Other than that, my makeup always looks wonderful, and I love my affordable makeup collection!!
I wish this video would go viral, but I don't think people want to hear the truth, because there is too much money to be made!!
I also want to point out that all the people promoting the hourglass plumpers have lip fillers. That makes a huge difference in how good lip products look
Love this video! But I will say, I love those Merit cream shadows 😂 they never crease on me and last forever
😭😭 I want them to work for me because I’ve actually been super into single cream/liquid shadows lately.
Andrea I love them also. Use a stiff eye shadow brush (or like a co dealer blush) and put a very thin layer on the lid. Blend quickly as a thin layer dries down pretty fast. I think the formula is great and I am in my 50s.
Andrea is a creator that actually says the harmless quiet part out loud! Buy what you need or what fits your needs! Don't follow the hype all the time
Hi Andrea love your videos here in Australia we pay for charlotte tilbury up to $367 for the magic cream and $89 for the quad eyeshadow palettes hourglass to is very expensive and out of most of us reach so showing us alternatives is good if we have the brands here which a lot we can’t get here in Australia
The rare beauty glossy lip stain dries my lips a lot too 🥲
The palettes look to be the same size as the Anastasia Sugar and Spice palettes- which are excellent quality and cost $29
The Augustinus Bader moisturizers are even pricier BUT they actually have an ingredient (TCF8) in them that he patented so... I get that (not to mention it really does give astonishing results if you can afford to use it for 2-3+ months).
The unhinged Patrick Ta eyeshadow duos price reminded me so much of years ago when Hourglass launched their single eyeshadows at something like $30 each and then they wanted you to but the palette for them separately (which appears to be $19 on Sephora now but I feel like I recall it being at least $30-40 originally? Hmm not sure lol) and all of us who have purchased indie shadows for years were like... so you want us to spend $150+ for 5 mediocre shadows when we can get a Pat McGrath or Glaminatrix or really any other palette with knockout shimmers for less than or even for a fraction of that? 😂 I remember more than a decade ago when Make Up For Ever launched singles in huge pans and you could build your own duos or trios or quads with them. They were also expensive, but it was for a huge amount of product and at the time, not many indie brands were out there and even fewer were producing a huge shade and texture range like we have today. Back then I had to go to Sugarpill or Fyrrinae to compete with what I could get from MUFE or Urban Decay (pre them being bought out 😭).
Idk if I'm in the minority, but I love that glowy blush from Rare Beauty! I have the shade cheer and I use it as like a blush topper/highlighter and it looks stunning every time. I will say that I don't really have a lot of texture on that part of my cheeks. But every time I use it I feel like it just looks so ethereal. I love it so much. I also love the Rare lip oil tint thing. Definitely not an oil, but you are right that it's very similar to the new Nyx ones.
Haus labs is over hyped in my opinion. I haven’t liked any of the products including the foundation. The lip oil was the worst it smelt and tasted like butter, nauseating.
Thank you for saving us all money 😂😂
Im 7 seconds into the video and I have to say that you look absolutely amazing 🤩 makeup, hair, high neck shirt, all the mited color look so good on you ❤
Dior in my opinion is not hyped enough. Yes it is expensive but the makeup is the best I have tried: my foundation does not oxidise, my skin looks extremely smooth on camera and irl and the customer service is always amazing. Also Givenchy's blushes and powders (before the new formulation) were amazing. Some luxury brands you are getting what you pay for.
Patrick Ta, goodness. It actually makes me turn the other way when influencers just gush about his stuff; I don't find the praise to be genuine and it makes me mad, it's like they are shoving him down our throats.
The way my mouth dropped at the price of the CT moisturizer!!! I don't purchase from CT because I'm not drawn to her products so I'm not in the know about her price point as much as I am with other brands.
I will never buy Charlotte Tilbury products, ever. I didn't even like the elf dupes of her makeup. As far as Patrick Ta, I've been scared off by the mold allegations and his other controversies. I did buy the Revolution Beauty dupes of his palettes though. I love love love Revolution Beauty.
