LOL what a great video! The singing of the Christmas songs, trying to decipher the French and then just saying "the hair oil'😂😂😂 You are such a pleasure to watch ❤️
I bought the Bite Beauty mascara at TJ Maxx after they started their liquidation and I shouldn't have. I absolutely love it. I need to find a dupe for it. I found the Morphe x Coca Cola mascara to be similar but I don't want to support Morphe anymore. So I'm in the same boat as Mandy. Does anyone have a good Bite Beauty mascara dupe?
Let the rare beauty mascara dry out some then try again. I didn’t like it at first either. Now I love it. Gives volume and length after it’s been open awhile
I don’t know if this applies to the new formula of Face & Body but Sharon Farrell had a special technique for applying it where you emulsify it in your hands until it no longer feels slippy. This bumps up the coverage. I know she mentioned it in multiple videos.
In my experience, mini tubes of mascara don't perform the same as the full-size tubes. Not sure if it's because they dry out faster (before you even buy them) or the wand doesn't work the same way. I really like the Rare Beauty mascara. You might not even in a full-size tube, though! Happy Christmas 🎄
I swapped my flower foundation pump with my Nars foundation pump lol. I don't use the flower one as often.... although it does dispense more product than the Nars one, but Im a bit more careful when I'm pressing it down. 😁
Your hair is always so beautiful and not frizzy! I have curly/wavy hair also. What hair products do you like to use? Do you have a hair video? Thanks for great, fun videos!! 🥰
My NARS and ABH foundations don’t leak, but the pumps on both are messed up (when I push it down, the pump doesn’t come back up by itself). I have two shades of the NARS and only one of them does this. I’m on my second bottle of the ABH, and both pumps have done this. My worst product fail was the TF Better Than Chocolate palette. They changed the formula and it was awful! I didn’t even bother to buy the pumpkin one this year. I tried the Sigma New Mod palette and really liked it, so I Black Friday bought their Warm Neutrals, Ambiance, and Cor de Rosa pallets. They are so awesome 🤩
Hi Mandy. Thank you for making such fun videos. I've been using the Maybelline 4in 1 primer and love it. Though I did remove the whole sponge applicator and just click it up to get the product out. Also, I've been using your curly hair styling routine and have never loved my wavy hair more. You are so fun to watch. Live the outtakes in every video
Great video! Your makeup looks so beautiful today! I absolutely love the Rare Beauty liquid blush, almost the only thing I’ve used all year since I’ve tried them. I have like 7 colors!
I got a couple new shades recently and I love them too, specifically the dewy ones. The matte ones are too patchy for me but the dewy ones are so nice.
Time for new Cabinet with deeper drawers to stand them up. BTW you look absolutely Stunning today! wow pretty eyes, hair and your complexion is 💣 did you do something with your brows? look so good...love it!
I actually liked the Mac sheer radiance foundation. I knew it was light coverage going in, which is what I wanted. Never tried any of their original formula, so it didn't bother me or feel like I missed out.
I have a really light powder blush essentially no show. I use it over cream blush to set it. It’s a way to use it up and seems to not alter the cream color like regular powder
I feel the same way about those Christmas songs! My dad asked why I'm always switching between two Christmas stations, and I told him there are just certain songs that are fingernails on a chalkboard to me. That's from someone that adores Christmas music!
Great video, lots of informative content. Not trying to be rude at all do you color band highlight your own hair or do you have it professionally done. It's so beautiful and so are you. Love you channel 🤩. ❣️
There is definitely something wrong with the Nars pumps cause both of mine are stored upright and both pumps have messed up. Both ooze out the sides and gunks up in the pump.
I got the hot pink hard candy quad and I like it I’ve been using the maybelline tattoo cream shadow as primer for my shadows and I’ve been happy with the results
Exaclty lol, I have just commented about same. I like my makeup being clean and tidy. It also comes down to who and how uses it, not just the bottle itself.
And yet another reason I abandoned traditional foundations long ago in favor of mineral powders and tinted sunscreens. No mess with gunky, goopy bottles. Just screw-top jars or squeeze tubes. PS My favorite Christmas song is "Christmas Wrap" (or "Wrapping"?) by the Waitresses. Warped, funny, and oh so memorable!
I have the Sigma enchanted mini palette and HATE IT. The first and last palette I will try from that brand. Shimmers are horrible with tons of fallout and no color pay off dry or wet
I must have different tastes then everyone else because I LOVE the sigma formula. Sigma and Nars are my favorite eyeshadow formulas. I’ve decluttered most of my Natasha denona and pat McGrath palettes which seem to be everyone else’s favorite. 🤷🏻♀️
I guess my biggest fail of the year was the Sexy Mother Pucker lippy from Soap & Glory; it's beautiful but it burned my sensitive lips so bad, I can't wear it. And I totally hated the waterproof Sea Curl mascara by Tarte, it just didn't show up on me enough to be worth wearing and wasn't waterproof on me, just hard to remove; I keep it in my purse makeup bag for touch-ups, but I'll probably declutter it soon.
I broke my NARS foundation pump. So I can’t complain about it being messy. I bought a cream Tarte blush. I love the color. But I can’t seem to apply it “well”. But will continue to try.
Ive been using Anastasia Beverly Hills luminous foundation for 2 years now, bought recently a new bottle and nothing ever leaked at all. Pump was fine too. I keep it standing on my makeup shelf and everything is fine. Never heard from anyone it leaked, so weird.
Hey there! I have the same issue with both pumps of those foundations you mentioned, and you should NOT feel that the issue is you! Those two pumps leak on me, and also do not perform well when I am trying to get foundation out of the bottles. My NARS foundation pump stopped working completely after the third time I used it. My point? I store them UPRIGHT! Sigh! Thanks for being a light in a dull day for me!🎉
I haven’t been a fan of morphe products for years now, but I did pick up the new No silent nights palette. I have to say I was very surprised by the quality of that palette. It’s actually not bad. I bought it on sale for $13.50 and for me it was worth it.
It's definitely a flaw in the foundation because no brand could seriously intend for their foundation to be stored standing up! Most people with a normal sized makeup collection will keep their foundation in a makeup bag! And the rest of us makeup addicts we will put it in a bag for travel. I could find my perfect foundation at a price of free and I wouldn't thank you for that packaging! Bite closed down apart from their shops where you can go to customise your own lip product! Xx
Hey Mandy, On Dec 13 2022, Bite ceased to exist for good. However they are now going by Lip-Lab a brick and mortar only store. Not sure if they will do online, haven't done digging yet. I loved Bite when they came out in 2012. Then they disappeared and came back in 2014 after "Kendo brands " acquired them. Long story short I hope Lip-Labs kept their formula and subtle scent and earthy colors. I will let you know if I try out Lip-lab. You can find an article about it but you have to do som digging. Thanks 🙏💓 Merry Christmas 🎄 . P.S. I love the color of your blouse , I can never find that color.
🌸🌸🌸 Bite Beauty bit the big one for good this time. Lip labs are open but no more Bite retail. My fail….and I know I am in the minority, is the Fenty lip gloss! I got a Sephora fav kit with one in it and the ‘taste’ was vile! I couldn’t get it off my lips fast enough. I returned the entire set and went to ‘smell’ the testers in store and ,oh just gross. I don’t understand why everyone likes them! Lifter glosses sooooo much better. Your look today is beautiful, hope you and your family are enjoying the holidays! xx🌸🌸🌸
Looks like Bite Beauty closed up shop sometime this summer. Cosmetics companies are like every industry I guess- finding it hard to make a profit during trying times.
I have the original Makin Bank (what a stupid name) and I think it’s much better than what you have. Some of my colors look a bit different than what you held up. But, I have gotten rid of all of the other Morphe palettes I’ve had except for JH.
You didn’t get a bad batch of the NARS foundation. Like you, I have to store my laying down & what a mess!!! So it’s the one thing on top of my makeup table. Really disappointing.
Your eyes look beautiful today, so my question is that the Sigma palette? You mentioned you didn't like one, so guessing this is not the one you dislike? It's very pretty eye shadow! thanks...
The Milk Makeup Future Fluid concealer was by far the worst product I tried this year on my mature under eyes. Also, I think Bite Beauty has gone out of business.
Jessica's hair is very pretty but the difference may be that she doesn't normally color her hair (she just did for the first time). Virgin hair reacts differently to products than colored or permed hair.
The nars pumps are awful! Awful! Secondly, we pay enough for a high end foundation. Why aren't some of them including pumps??? They actually have the nerve to charge for them. Even my Mac setting spray clogs. Insane 🥴😵💫
LOL what a great video! The singing of the Christmas songs, trying to decipher the French and then just saying "the hair oil'😂😂😂 You are such a pleasure to watch ❤️
Bite Beauty closed their cosmetics line. They still have their lip labs in some cities, but no more retail cosmetics. I miss them.
I bought the Bite Beauty mascara at TJ Maxx after they started their liquidation and I shouldn't have. I absolutely love it. I need to find a dupe for it. I found the Morphe x Coca Cola mascara to be similar but I don't want to support Morphe anymore. So I'm in the same boat as Mandy. Does anyone have a good Bite Beauty mascara dupe?
I really miss the bite beauty lip products! Their crayon style lipsticks were such a favourite for me.
You are extra gorgeous today! Love the hair, makeup, and shirt. Background is beautiful.
I agree, so ethereal and lovely ! ✨
Let the rare beauty mascara dry out some then try again. I didn’t like it at first either. Now I love it. Gives volume and length after it’s been open awhile
Can I just say I love the whispy hair that you always have when you put your hair up? Frames your face so well!!
I have the same problem with my Nars light reflecting foundation too, and I thought it was just me! Such a beautiful foundation but so messy!
Omg....the outtakes at the end....and the horrible Christmas songs....oh girl....YES 🤣😂☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
I don’t know if this applies to the new formula of Face & Body but Sharon Farrell had a special technique for applying it where you emulsify it in your hands until it no longer feels slippy. This bumps up the coverage. I know she mentioned it in multiple videos.

I really like the Rare Beauty mascara. You might not even in a full-size tube, though! Happy Christmas 🎄
Mandy- on the 4 n 1 perfecter I just completely removed the sponge & apply with my fingers or a brush. I absolutely hated the sponge tip as well! ❤
I swapped my flower foundation pump with my Nars foundation pump lol. I don't use the flower one as often.... although it does dispense more product than the Nars one, but Im a bit more careful when I'm pressing it down. 😁

Love a good FAILS video! Saves us all from disappointment. 😂
Try K. blush as an under eye setting powder. Since it’s pink it might be brightening
😆 love your little outtakes 😂 i love the Paul McCartney Christmas song! ❤️🎄
Time for new Cabinet with deeper drawers to stand them up. BTW you look absolutely Stunning today! wow pretty eyes, hair and your complexion is 💣 did you do something with your brows? look so good...love it!

10:18 Just save the pumps you like when you're finished and move product to the good containers.
I have a really light powder blush essentially no show. I use it over cream blush to set it. It’s a way to use it up and seems to not alter the cream color like regular powder
I have kept the nude stix tin too. I’ve put qtips in for traveling.
I had the same issue with the pump on the nars foundation.
I feel the same way about those Christmas songs! My dad asked why I'm always switching between two Christmas stations, and I told him there are just certain songs that are fingernails on a chalkboard to me. That's from someone that adores Christmas music!
Please do a tutorial on the eyeshadows you are wearing.
Great video, lots of informative content. Not trying to be rude at all do you color band highlight your own hair or do you have it professionally done. It's so beautiful and so are you. Love you channel 🤩. ❣️
Maybe try a spice drawer insert that will tilt bottles.
I have horse hay hair too! I’ve been liking the Virtue hair oil - try it and see what you think!
Looking very pretty here! Leave this look. Thank for a great vid! 🙌🏻
You look stunning. Thank you for saving us $$ and time.
Nevermind the products! You look like a beautiful princess!
There is definitely something wrong with the Nars pumps cause both of mine are stored upright and both pumps have messed up. Both ooze out the sides and gunks up in the pump.
Love your outtakes! My Nars foundation leaks always in an upright position 🙄
Everyone has the pump issue with those two high end foundations. So frustrating!
I got the hot pink hard candy quad and I like it I’ve been using the maybelline tattoo cream shadow as primer for my shadows and I’ve been happy with the results
I store all of my foundation upright on a bookshelf that houses some of my makeup and my brush collection. I find they just stay cleaner that way.
Exaclty lol, I have just commented about same. I like my makeup being clean and tidy. It also comes down to who and how uses it, not just the bottle itself.
If the foundation is open, I store it upright. If I haven't opened it yet, it's sideways in the back of my drawer.
The original face and body is VERY sheer too. You need maybe 4-5 layers to build to medium coverage. I haven’t tried the new formula yet.
And yet another reason I abandoned traditional foundations long ago in favor of mineral powders and tinted sunscreens. No mess with gunky, goopy bottles. Just screw-top jars or squeeze tubes. PS My favorite Christmas song is "Christmas Wrap" (or "Wrapping"?) by the Waitresses. Warped, funny, and oh so memorable!
I absolutely LOVE that ABH foundation. It is absolutely phenomenal. I’m finding that their products are pretty top notch. Very impressed.
I'm only part way through this video, but I want to say that the ABH foundation pump leaks when the bottles are stored upright, too. 😐
On the leaky foundations, do you have room to put the angled props for kitchen spices in your drawer?
I have the Sigma enchanted mini palette and HATE IT. The first and last palette I will try from that brand. Shimmers are horrible with tons of fallout and no color pay off dry or wet

I broke my NARS foundation pump. So I can’t complain about it being messy. I bought a cream Tarte blush. I love the color. But I can’t seem to apply it “well”. But will continue to try.
The Rare Beauty is my favorite mascara of 2022 😊

My biggest disapointment was the new MUFE foundation aswell as the Shiseido synchro skin foundations (matte and dewy)… they look awful on me 🥲
Can you let us know if you find a hair oil that you luv? I seem to have the same issue. I keep buying; looking for the “one”!
The Jaclyn under eye primer actually keeps your concealer from creasing. I recommend that one
I also love, love the Nars foundation, but my pump isn’t great, either. I use it almost daily, though!
Pat McGrath vs jd glow, thoughts?
Porosity has a lot to do with whether oils work on your curly hair or not. Dew point has a lot to do with it too.
I haven’t been a fan of morphe products for years now, but I did pick up the new No silent nights palette. I have to say I was very surprised by the quality of that palette. It’s actually not bad. I bought it on sale for $13.50 and for me it was worth it.

Have you tried Rude Cosmetics? I believe it's an LA brand
Hi Mandy. They did change the MAC face & body formula!🌺🌺🌺
🌸🌸🌸 Bite Beauty bit the big one for good this time. Lip labs are open but no more Bite retail. My fail….and I know I am in the minority, is the Fenty lip gloss!

The taste? You’re not supposed to really eat it though lol. Did you mean the scent and not taste?
I guess I didn't notice a bad smell, but I've never had a gloss bleed out of my lip lines like the Fenty. I agree, Lifter is better 👍
@@kamrenfields454 wow really? Thank you for that very informative information……. Geezzzz , shoeeeww

I’m not a fan of the sponge tops by Maybelline
Do you use a leave in conditioner after you wash your hair? It locks in the moisture before it dries completely. It may help with the "hay hair" lol
I have 2 Anastasia Luminous foundations and they BOTH do that and I store mine upright. I hate it lol
The morphe35s sweet oasis is great
I implore you to give Kara Beauty eyeshadow another try.
My kids ate lip balm too 😍
I am a big Paul McCartney fan so I love his Christmas song
If you're on the hunt for a good but inexpensive lip balm, try the Essence Volumizing Collagen Vegan Lip Balm.
I haven't tried that but I do like the Burt's Bees tinted lip balm.
My big fail its the Urban decay , naked cyber palette , no pigment at all. Totally desapointed
Omg you singing the song at the end made me laugh. I’m not a fan of that one either. Lol
You look fabulous 😍
Mandy I have a sister that has the curly hair like yours, you guys have beautiful hair, mine has always been very straight.
You didn’t get a bad batch of the NARS foundation. Like you, I have to store my laying down
& what a mess!!! So it’s the one thing on top of my makeup table. Really disappointing.
Your eyes look beautiful today, so my question is that the Sigma palette? You mentioned you didn't like one, so guessing this is not the one you dislike? It's very pretty eye shadow! thanks...
Too bright 😎

I like the elf bite size better than hard candy
Love the outro
I can't stand that Paul McCartney song!
Unfortunately bit beauty has exited the market. I think they still have their bite beauty lip bars.
That hair oil was also not enough for me. Fingers crossed you mention one that DOES work in your favorites video ❤
Jessica's hair is very pretty but the difference may be that she doesn't normally color her hair (she just did for the first time). Virgin hair reacts differently to products than colored or permed hair.
Please, please find a way to store your foundations in an upright position. 🤗
you really have beautiful eyes
The nars pumps are awful! Awful! Secondly, we pay enough for a high end foundation. Why aren't some of them including pumps??? They actually have the nerve to charge for them. Even my Mac setting spray clogs. Insane 🥴😵💫
You can tell by the comments who watches the whole video to the end and who doesn’t, can’t ya?! lol
Note beauty closed.
The new Sigma highlighter is so much better.
You look lovely.
Bite beauty is no more mandy
I have both of those foundations. I store them upright and both of them still look like yours. They are a mess.
Bite Beauty went out of business!
You look like a Christmas 👼 Angel
Mac Face and Body is DEFINITELY not the same formula. Ughhhhh why do they always lieeeeee 😡
NOT impressed with Morphe. I like Colourpop SO much better.
