This was incredibly helpful - thank you for your honesty, straightforwardness and descriptiveness. Nothing worse than an influencer raving/complaining about a product and then saying “I dont know why…I just love/hate it.” That is a waste of time! By the way, please tell us about your sweater! It’s gorgeous. My favorites include the Chanel Water Fresh Tint and the Chantecaille gel foundation (the one in the pot). Hope you feel better soon and that your holidays are restful and happy. Thanks for all that you do!
Thanks so much Allison, I really appreciate your encouragement! The sweater is probably 10-12 years old and is from Sleeping in Snow - got it at antropologie years ago. I pull it out ever fall/winter!
I would say the new Suqqu was by far my favorite of the year. I find it just as lovely as the old version. I had good luck emailing the Suqqu counter and they gave me help choosing the right shade (which is perfection). I ordered the Louboutin foundation based on your review and am anxiously awaiting it.
You introduced me to Suqqu and Ritual de Fille, my two favorite foundations with another one you recommended, Cle de Peau which I like almost as much as the Ritual. All 3 of these are beautiful.
I watched your review of the Rituel de Fille foundation and I decided to try it. It's now my favorite foundation. Thanks for all of your informative videos. Hope you feel better.
Thanks Kiki! I know you’re still not 💯 but you look beautiful and you showed up and I so appreciate it. I got the RDF from your review and I love it, too.
I love the way you do those best of the year videos, I think these are the most satisfying and the most helpful, thank you 🌸 Speedy recovery to you, get well soon ❤
Not only do I love and appreciate your reviews, I also love your sweater. The Louboutin is definitely worth trying. There is a shade that appears to be similar to my Amore Pacific cushion with which I'm almost finished. And, yes, I, too, want "a miracle in a bottle," or in this case, a cushion. Thank you and happy Christmas.
Here's hoping you feel better, and wishing you a lovely holiday season! Despite feeling unwell, you look fabulous and I adore that blouse! Thank you for all you do for us!
The Rose Inc is so beautiful , I don’t know why people aren’t talking more about this, the best foundation I have tried this year plus I doesn’t irritate or break up my skin. I have combination skin and it looks rather dewy on me!
Thank you so much for your reviews. Tell us how you really feel about the Saie foundation. Lol. I just don’t understand why people feel the need to tell you how you should feel about a foundation. Do this, do that. That’s crap. Anyway, thanks for your honest reviews!
Oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same way you do about make up! I want to love it. I enjoy the experience. I want my skin to look like my skin, not makeup. I’m going to have to try the balm foundation and the Rose Inc. I hope you feel better soon! Happy new year 😊
I used the Ritual de Fille all summer, still using now in the winter. It really surprised me. The first time I tried it, I wasn’t sure about the color (125), color didn’t look right when first applied, and I thought the formulation was just odd. It applies quickly, seems to melt into skin, blends easily (I find fingers best.) A few minutes after applying, I did a double-take in the mirror, it is just beautiful, color and all, I think it morphs somehow. Not only does my skin look and feel good to the touch, my skin seems to get better during the day, (like a good serum,) and it does last until I take it off at night. For reference, I’m 74, dry, sometimes sensitive skin. Thank you for all your videos!
I just turned 66 and have been dealing with awful exzema/dermatitis for the 1st time in my life. It's been 8 months now and Ive had to cut out ALL of my beautiful skincare. :( Makeup even makes it Flare-up, especially if there's any oil in it. Suqqu is the only foundation I can wear for a little while without it making my face red and blistery. It's really awful. I LOVE LOVE the Ritual foundation too, but sadly I can't use it with my exzema. Now that I can't use skincare or make-up, I've redirected my compulsive buying to perfumes!! Hope you feel better soon Kiki...! 🌸😊
What an awesome review! Thank you for doing this, this is priceless for mature skin. I wanted to mention Zelens anti aging foundation which is terrific, but it’s hard to get after the reformulation. It almost blends itself and looked so flawless on me. I also like La Prairie in a bottle with the concealer on the top, both are perfection.❤
I remember how much you loved the Rituel and how pretty it looks on you. I think your foundation reviews are my favorites this year because your standards are so high. From all of them, my personal favorites are the Westman Atelier and Haus Labs. Such great formulas and I lucked out with the shades. Now I didn’t get the Gucci foundation, but lovelove the concealersas much as the weird Haus Labs which is about as perfect as it gets even though the texture seems strange at first. Feel better Kiki! You look wonderful, I’d never image you were under the weather. PS, the sweater is so pretty! Loving the statement flower ❤️❤️❤️ Happy holidays!
Dear Kiki, thank you for your super honest and super good foundaton review!!👏👏🤩🤩🤩🤩I hope you had a good Christmas and feel better soon! O wow, that Rituel de Fille i really want to try soon! I see it's available at Revolve when shopping from The Netherlands. My no. 1 foundation, the Suqqu! I'm 53 years with light, only in summer just little bit medium skintone with cooler undertones, skintype sensitive and mostly dry. The one you talked about, in the black jar, the previous one. I have shade 220 and love it. Bought some back up from this product at Cult Beauty (Selfridges not possible anymore since Brexit), and also at Fude Japan: Toshiya is such a helpful kind man, shipment fast, shipment costs reasonable from Japan, so when i really cannot find it here it sometimes shop there! Wishing you a very happy happy 2024, Annemarie 🎉🥂🤩😘
Merry Christmas Kiki. I have a few i love, Lancome, Tom Ford, Nars light, Haus and i did buy DM yummy skin tint and it gives me enought coverage. Ive had a viral attacking my left lymph node so i feel ya. Take care and glad youre oh the mend
So sorry this “cold” has a real grip on you.😢 To feeling better soon 🍵 Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season and thank you for all your thoughtful, fun videos this year. On to ‘24 with good health🎉
Feel better 💐 Your complexion looks beautiful. When I’m sick, I look like the walking 😵 😅 Love your honesty about each product. You know your own skin and what works best for you. Merry Christmas 🎄
I tried the Rose Inc. it was drying and it broke me out. I love the Dr Jart beauty balm. I’m going to pick up the Cleau de peau radiant cushion next and perhaps the Ritual de Fille Love your videos
We corresponded yesterday about being sick. Now that I see this video I think we have the same f’g cold, except I do not have a fever. Today is the first day where I feel marginally better. Yay! I haven’t bought it yet, because my local Sephora has been sold out, but I do want to try Rose Inc. for sure! Get well and Merry Christmas, Kiki.
Yes, this cold is no fun! I was feeling better the day before when I shot the Louboutin, but was congested and symptomatic again the next day. I feel like I'm being teased by this cold..."yes, I'm on my way out " to "ha ha, fooled you!"
Hi Kiki my favorite foundation this year is the Surrat Surreal Skin foundation. I look forward to put it on my face every day. On your recommendation I ordered the Christian Lubutton. I will keep you posted on how I like it. Have a happy Christmas end a great new Year.
Hi there~ I just subscribed to your channel-thanks so much for doing these! What shade are you in the Ritual foundation? If you put it somewhere I apologize but I can’t find the shade listed anywhere-thanks! 🕉️🧿
I have 3 shades of it! I mix together two shades depending on what color I am - at my personal lightest, 120 is good. I think the other one is 125 and then something in the 30's that is too warm, so I use it as a mixer!
Sorry you’re not feeling well. Seems like there’s so many viruses going around. Hope you feel better soon!! Have a Merry Christmas🎉 Love your sweater!! It’s beautiful and you look stunning…..cold and all
I think the guerlain was my favorite as far as how it smooths my lines n pores but the smell just kills me !!! I’m not one who usually cares ab strong scented makeup but this one just gives me a migraine so I only wear it on special occasions
Thank you, Kiki! I appreciate all your thorough reviews. You turned me onto the Prisme Libra foundation and I love it. The Rituel de Fille is top of my list to try next! I hope you get better soon!
I ordered the Rituel de Fille a couple of weeks ago. For some odd reason, it sucked the moisture out of my face. Not sure what's in it that caused that. So disappointed. I also ordered a couple of their cheeks balms, which I love.
Love your honesty and choice of words -“we want miracle in a bottle” ❤ hope you feel better!
This was incredibly helpful - thank you for your honesty, straightforwardness and descriptiveness.

You are a true gem on You Tube! Even though you are under the weather, you look beautiful! Get well soon. Happy Holidays!
Thank you so much, Leslie! Happy Holidays to you as well!
Great roundup! You inspired me to apply my ritual de Fille today and I LOVE it. And that sweater! Love love love. Merry Christmas!
I'm sure you look beautiful! Merry Christmas!!!!
Sorry you haven’t been well. Hope you’re feeling better soon. Always love your videos for true opinions. Merry Christmas.
Thank you so much and Merry Christmas!
You introduced me to Suqqu and Ritual de Fille, my two favorite foundations with another one you recommended, Cle de Peau which I like almost as much as the Ritual. All 3 of these are beautiful.
I'm so glad to hear that! Yay!
I love the Danessa Myricks YUMMY SKIN SERUM FOUNDATION. Thank you for your videos. Get well soon.
Thank you!
I watched your review of the Rituel de Fille foundation and I decided to try it. It's now my favorite foundation. Thanks for all of your informative videos. Hope you feel better.
Yay! I'm so glad you love it!!
Great perseverance in times of having the lurgy! Thank you. Hope that you feel better soon.
Thanks Kiki! I know you’re still not 💯 but you look beautiful and you showed up and I so appreciate it.
I got the RDF from your review and I love it, too.
I love the way you do those best of the year videos, I think these are the most satisfying and the most helpful, thank you 🌸
Speedy recovery to you, get well soon ❤
Glad you like them! Yay!
Happy holidays Kiki. Hope you and Grace feel better and can relax and go on Long walks… merry Christmas 🌹🌹
Thank you! I'm really looking forward to long walks again! Merry Christmas to you as well!

Thanks so much for your encouragement! Glad you like the sweater, I'm getting a lot of comments on it! Happy Christmas to you!
The CL balm is a miracle in a compact. Trust. Apply with moistened beauty sponge though. The applicator in the compact is garbage.
Here's hoping you feel better, and wishing you a lovely holiday season! Despite feeling unwell, you look fabulous and I adore that blouse! Thank you for all you do for us!
Thank you so much!!
The Rose Inc is so beautiful , I don’t know why people aren’t talking more about this, the best foundation I have tried this year plus I doesn’t irritate or break up my skin. I have combination skin and it looks rather dewy on me!
Thank you for the honest review! So helpful and straightforward. ❤️❤️❤️would love for an all time favorites video!! Thanks and Merry Christmas.
Love your channel, I think it’s very helpful, obviously all reviews always are very thoughtful
Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎉
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas to you as well!
Thank you so much for your reviews. Tell us how you really feel about the Saie foundation. Lol. I just don’t understand why people feel the need to tell you how you should feel about a foundation. Do this, do that. That’s crap. Anyway, thanks for your honest reviews!
That's a fantastic sweater! Merry Christmas - hope you recover completely soon.
Thanks as always for your honest opinion we appreciate it ❤
Happy New Year! I hope you feel better but your skin sure still looks absolutely radiant whilst your sick! Your sweater is beautiful too.
Thank you! I'm sure it's the foundation!!
Your top/sweater is stunning…
Thank you! It's wool, so only comes out in cold weather!
Oh my gosh, I feel exactly the same way you do about make up! I want to love it. I enjoy the experience. I want my skin to look like my skin, not makeup. I’m going to have to try the balm foundation and the Rose Inc.
I hope you feel better soon! Happy new year 😊
Agree with you 100% ..my skincare is my skincare and not looking for it in my makeup!
Hope you feel better Kiki,
Take care & happy Holidays to you and yours !☃️

great vid, great year for you. hope you feel better.
Thank You so much!
Would love to see you doing a review for best concealers of 2023!
I like what you’re wearing, from where did you get it?
I'm going to shoot a best of eyes and include concealers. Getting a new roof right now - so can't shoot until Saturday - but coming soon!
I just turned 66 and have been dealing with awful exzema/dermatitis for the 1st time in my life.

Hope you feel better soon Kiki...! 🌸😊
PS. I’m definitely purchasing that Rituel de fille 3 drops. Thanks in advance for your discount code!
Hope you enjoy it!
So far my favorite this year has been hourglass skin tint and Nars foundation. I love Estée Lauder futurist foundation as well.
Hope you feel better ❤
Also FTR you are very pretty and I love watching you glam up and get even prettier 💚
You're sweet, thank you!
What an awesome review! Thank you for doing this, this is priceless for mature skin.
I wanted to mention Zelens anti aging foundation which is terrific, but it’s hard to get after the reformulation. It almost blends itself and looked so flawless on me. I also like La Prairie in a bottle with the concealer on the top, both are perfection.❤
Hope you feel better soon. My favorite is Koh gen do - MAIFANSHI MOISTURE FOUNDATION
Oh I have that one!

Happy holidays!
I love this sweater, too! I've had it for more than 10 years and pull it out winter - it makes me happy! Happy Holidays to you!!
Continued healing 🥺 and wishing you a very Happy Holiday all the best in the New Year!
I am so sorry you haven’t been feeling well. I hope you feel better soon. Have a Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to you as well!

Happy Holidays Kiki! Thank you for all your hard work to help up save our coins.
You look beautiful today! ❤💫
Thanks so much and Happy Holidays to you!
Love that beautiful sweater/blouse. You do not look sick lol
Merry Christmas Kiki. I have a few i love, Lancome, Tom Ford, Nars light, Haus and i did buy DM yummy skin tint and it gives me enought coverage. Ive had a viral attacking my left lymph node so i feel ya. Take care and glad youre oh the mend
I hope you're feeling better! Haus is beautiful - wish they had a good shade for me!
Merry Christmas to you! 🎄
Merry Christmas Eve!
So sorry this “cold” has a real grip on you.😢 To feeling better soon 🍵
Wishing you all the best this Holiday Season and thank you for all your thoughtful, fun videos this year. On to ‘24 with good health🎉
Thanks so much Ceecee! Wish you all the best as well!
Feel better 💐
Your complexion looks beautiful.
When I’m sick, I look like the walking 😵 😅
Love your honesty about each product.
You know your own skin and what works best for you.
Merry Christmas 🎄
My skin isn't looking so hot right now, I haven't been keeping up with my skincare - but my foundation makes up for it - lol
Have you tried Prada foundation yet? I need your shade because you are usually my shade match! Lol
I haven't seen it in store yet - I'm a bit afraid as it seems the fashion into make up lines seem to have orange foundations!😂
I tried the Rose Inc. it was drying and it broke me out. I love the Dr Jart beauty balm. I’m going to pick up the Cleau de peau radiant cushion next and perhaps the Ritual de Fille Love your videos
We corresponded yesterday about being sick. Now that I see this video I think we have the same f’g cold, except I do not have a fever. Today is the first day where I feel marginally better. Yay!

Kiki, I was curious about the top you have on in this video. It is lovely , can you link where to purchase?
Sadly - I bought this probably 12-15 years ago. It's by Sleeping in Snow. It's wool, so I only pull it out in the cooler months!
Hi Kiki my favorite foundation this year is the Surrat Surreal Skin foundation. I look forward to put it on my face every day. On your recommendation I ordered the Christian Lubutton. I will keep you posted on how I like it. Have a happy Christmas end a great new Year.
I haven't tried the Surratt! I hope you love the Louboutin! Merry Christmas!
Love the louboutin!
@@sydneyleonard1348 try the surreal skin from Surratt is wonderful 😀
Have you tried Pat McGrath foundation? That’s the best one I’ve tried so far for my mature, very dry skin
I did try it when it came out - but couldn't find a shade that worked for me!
Hi there~ I just subscribed to your channel-thanks so much for doing these!
What shade are you in the Ritual foundation? If you put it somewhere I apologize but I can’t find the shade listed anywhere-thanks! 🕉️🧿

awww.thank you Kathleen. Merry Christmas!
I think the guerlain was my favorite as far as how it smooths my lines n pores but the smell just kills me !!! I’m not one who usually cares ab strong scented makeup but this one just gives me a migraine so I only wear it on special occasions
Thank you, Kiki! I appreciate all your thorough reviews. You turned me onto the Prisme Libra foundation and I love it. The Rituel de Fille is top of my list to try next! I hope you get better soon!
The Prime Libre doesn't get any love! This is one of my favorites - top five. For me the color and wear are spot on.
I’ve looked everywhere on your channel for the shade of the CL balm foundation and I can’t find it
Please tell 😉
I thought I put it right before the link? 30NC
Well, you may have but my standard excuse for everything these days after turning 70 in Sept is “I am old!” (Works pretty well 😉)
You look fabulous for being sick!
I am coveting your Sweater❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! It's a favorite for me as well!
I ordered the Rituel de Fille a couple of weeks ago. For some odd reason, it sucked the moisture out of my face. Not sure what's in it that caused that. So disappointed. I also ordered a couple of their cheeks balms, which I love.
I’m surprised by people saying Dior Backstage is horrible bc it’s so smooth and glowy on me. But I don’t have texture. I’m just dry.
❤❤❤
