L’Oréal’s Lumi Glowtion is an excellent dupe for this skin look. I have been using the two lightest shades for years, and it’s amazing. Amazing alone, mixed in with foundation, under foundation. Of the price of these is a little heavy, personally, I would recommend trying the Lumi!
being poor gives me such a utilitarian view of makeup and i love it. it took me a year of research and saving up to buy exactly what i knew i'd like, so i don't feel a need or want, not even a hint of it for other dewy products since i have my tried and true ones: tatcha dewy skin cream (i finally posted a mini review!), danessa's prismfx lotion + tiara vision flush, and glossier's futuredew layered together gives me a starlike sheen that lasts allllll day, and even when i run out of 'em, i won't be sad. i'll just get something by elf to replace it since it's all the same to me as long as i end up SHIIIIIIIIIINNNNAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY~
And this is why we love you. I’ve gotten caught in that cycle, hoping that the next thing would change my (already great) life. Only to be disappointed that in the end it looked just like what I already had. It’s only cosmetics, not a life partner. If we only put that much energy into our relationships. Thanks for putting it all into words.
I had this same idea pop up this week with Auric. Because I have a mostly full bottle of Flawless Filter and a teensy smidge of the Glowwand left (which I use differently and often at the same time). And I saw swatches and heard comparisons and can see the shade differences, but at the end of the day, I have a mostly full bottle of Flawless Filter. I like it. It is one in a long line of luminizers I use to mix with my primer to wear along or under foundation (and occasionally as a highlight over foundation). The Auric will be there when I finish the Flawless Filter. Just like the Flawless Filter was there when I finished Marc Jacobs Dew Drops. And maybe I'll buy Auric, maybe I'll buy the Chanel, maybe I'll repurchase Flawless Filter, maybe I'll repurchase the Dew Drops. All of them are different. But not different enough to mean I need two that do the same thing. This is a category of things I use daily because I like it and it doesn't have to be the perfect one. I can finish one and use the next. This is kind of why I love panning. It takes the romantic illusions out of it when you are faced with using up a thing you bought. And now I know the Chanel is the same kind of thing in this line of products I use, which is super useful for when I finish Flawless Filter, but also a relief because I don't need to think about it until I finish Flawless Filter. And then I can just pick one based on where is most convenient for me to shop, whether there's a sale or a bonus.
"Yeah you want it, but is it practical in your routine?" "You're trying to buy a new face, a new you, a new life." HANNAH. Here I am just innocently drinking my morning coffee with yogurt and berries, thinking I'd enjoy a little HLP review, and here you are coming for my neck, my brand, and my wig. I love you dearly. So much serendipitous food for thought.
I have never had interest in these but I’m still here. And I got to be here for the deep intellectual talk about how makeup is not what you need to change your life 😊
Sometimes I think of watching makeup videos as similar to how other people watch sports. I'm not really participating but I just like to know what everybody's up to.
I appreciate your insights into the obsessiveness that can accompany searching for products. I have spent countless hours doing research (i.e. reading/watching reviews, comparing ingredient lists, etc.) for cosmetics (as well as clothing, cleaning products, or anything really) to find the best one- there is something so soothing & satisfying about "the hunt," but I'm now trying to abstain from this hobby while I am on an intermittent low buy.
I am not in a hurry to buy anything and love to thoughtfully decide what to buy. This means the wait for review, so have best understanding of products, great for me. Looking forward to auric review
You're still my favorite. Your subscriber count SHOULD be higher. You earned it. You deserve it. However, if the last 4 years (and the continuing saga thereof), have taught me anything, it is that those who deserve to be at the top aren't always the first to reach it. This message is not to point out you don't have a million subscribers, but instead to let you know that you should take great pride in the reason you don't (yet) 😉. Your kindness, authenticity, honesty, vulnerability, intellect, and unique sense of style is refreshing. I adore the way you incorporate all of this into an art form. Anyone can test a highlighter and offer a coupon code for the next, often ridiculous trend. However, very few can take us on a journey with the art of Terry Barber, wax poetic and touch our hearts the way you do. Oh, and also, you are beautiful!
I think the point you make in this video is really strong and like, important to your overall message. It's something I've noticed watching your content, where like, it's a joy to watch you swatch all your red lipsticks and point out the tiny differences and arrange them in a row by color and all that, and also there are times when I'm like "ooh, Hannah's definitely wearing x product" and then check the description and it's actually just not that. Like, makeup isn't and shouldn't just be about what people see on you so it doesn't matter if no one else notices the minute differences between what you look like with the red you chose versus any other, but you can see where obsessing over those minute differences could go to an unhealthy place pretty quickly. Anyway, great, extremely astute video as usual!! Thanks for making it
I love when you talk about beauty and how it gets tied up in identity and escapism. I've spent way more money on beauty and skincare in 2019 and 2020, never to the point of ruining my financial health, but I know I'm doing it to bury my unhappiness. It's humbling but necessary to have the reminder. It's all just colored dust and it's ok to love it but let's not get carried away thinking it's going to change us fundamentally.
Your chat at the end reminds me of the “Duping the Vibes” series. Are we adding products to our collections because we are chasing a cloud-self for whom we will never catch? Let’s not loose our heads. Having written this I love swatch videos and building my own palettes online. But there’s a different between taking actions to obtain the “perfect” item and knowing when to let it rest. I will always be me. No product will change that.
I was thinking this too - if you have something that does the same/similar job or gives the same/similar effect then maybe you don't need all the new things.
Dang. This was honestly so helpful. Just hearing about how yeah, shiny things are nice. This is shiny. So are the 57 other glowy products already in your bathroom.
I really want you and Amanda Z to review Auric.... yours reviews are so thorough and define that one think that they have tried this product themselves...
Loved, truly loved, your whole energy in the video - from the hyperbolic language at the beginning, to the real-talk at the end, you're so RIGHT about chasing the "potential" of who we can be if we just have the right product. You've taught me a lot, I'm so grateful to you for your vulnerability. Thankful for you!
I loved your rant on how maybe there is no *right* answer to picking between two similar products if the *right* one is supposed to revolutionize your life, it felt so true and I confess I definitely obsess over minute details when sometimes the product in itself isn't important, the obsession is just a distraction and a need to control something and get at least one decision right ... Thank you very much for sharing your insight in these videos it's been very helpful to hear your thoughts !
The issue you describe here I have with crease/transition shades. For me, in my daily eye look a light brown is a light brown. I don’t see much difference in using an eyeshadow or my bronzer to blow up a bit the look where my eyes are more deep-set. With lipstick, however, it’s different. Some brands just get colors better! Chanel, Lisa Eldridge is, for me, the kind of lipsticks where the color is exquisite. But realistically, for the beholders, a red lip is a red lip :)
For me it would be the Chanel one, because I absolutely despise doe foot applicators for face stuff. Hard enough for me to tolerate those in concealers or liquid lip stuff. Don't know why, I NEVER liked them.
I've never thought a beauty product would change my life and make me a new woman. I've started pushing myself not to watch TH-cam during my work week and I think it has helped immensely with stopping me from feeling such an urge to shop. Giving myself a product limit for the year (12) is really helping too. I want to buy 1 or 2 of the eye duos from Auric and a highlighter but in a whim I also want a Virgo lipstick and maybe even the mini love palette. Then I think 12 products. Do I want to knock out half of my years allowance in the first month or 2 of the year? With that in mind and minimizing how much I put new products at the forefront of my mind I am better able to shake off the urge to hoard it all.
youtube has most definitely fueled the makeup (and now skincare) over-consumption of the past decade. i think if anyone has a problem with overbuying or just obsessing, the first thing they should do is stop consuming the content that triggers it. i myself have cut back so much and it really helps.
Hurray!! I'm so excited for this. I used to wear a LOT of Chanel makeup and I'm dabbling my toes in here and there with lip products and there are two Chanel Les Beiges complexion products I have had in my wishlist forever and this is one!
on products looking almost the same when worn- omg. i tend to obsess over blush colors, because i have an idea of how the perfect blush should look, but i have yet to find it, because of all the variables involved. that is, the color of my face and then the variety of colors in my foundation and powders. but ultimately, of course, so many times it's hard to tell what blush i'm even wearing because on the face so much looks the same. so, this year i might just go for it and declutter all but like, three blushes so i can stop worrying about it. ;-)
I wasn’t really excited about watching a comparison of these products initially...not a huge glowy skin person...I think it is because I have glasses already, which add a big reflective pane to my face. But I am so glad I watched...as always, you manage to take the small little moments of desire that we all experience as consumers, and endow them with thoughtful presence. And that shirt is everything.
I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on this video knowing full well I did not care which of these two products was better. Imagine my delight when it turned to a discussion about how the choice isn't that important, and that the sort of false importance of choosing between two near-identical products obfuscates another choice - should I buy one of them at all?
I've wanted the CT for years as well. I think I may actually get it now (once I've used all my other glowy primer products). My favorite is the Becca Backlight primer but sometimes it's just not glowy enough.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the RMS living lumanizer. I just recently picked it up and I LOVE how natural it is. I’m totally over the super blinding highlight, so I’m starting to appreciate these natural/subtle glow products!
I came for the shiny stuff, stayed for the philosophical questioning of how "unique" any one product could truly be! This is a really good reminder to reflect on our own collections and think about how much of the things we yearn for are similar enough to what already exists in our collections. I'm in the market for a liquid highlighting product since I've used up all of my cream and liquid illuminators, but I'm going to patiently wait for your Auric review since the price/ingredients/delivery system of that particular version of this glow product entices me the most. 😁
What do they look like when you have a full base over them? Is there a difference in the effect? Love what you are saying. What happens when you add foundation, concealer and powder? Is your skin still dewy?
Such an important thing to remember, if you're going to hunt for something to change yourself it should be books, therapy and experiences but it is just too tempting to obsess over the easy siren call of makeup I look like a soap bubble (love that description haha) normally so avoid glowy base products! The chanel looks nicer though
Thank you Hannah! I was contemplating and really almost pressed 'checkout' with the Hollywood flawless filter and then I watched this... I already have a multitude of glowy base products! Why do I romanticize about this particular one so much?!?! I have decided to not purchase it now - I will wait until I have no products like this left in my stash.
Girl. I really needed to hear your takeaway at the end. I recently got swept up in the fragrance community and as cool as it's been to start noticing scent in a more nuanced way, it's so easy to start thinking that I'll be somehow different if I only amass the right sort of collection. It's far too expensive of a habit to start hauling like there's no tomorrow especially seeing as how smelling different won't get me working again or change the state of the world in any meaningful way which is what I'm really trying to do. Paying attention to all the minutia of fragrance notes I don't even know if I'd like is driving me mad so I'm resolving to be honest with myself, decide what I can afford, and wait. Anyhoo, I've been watching you for about a year and a half now and love being along for your journey. Have a fab day!
Storytime is the best🤩👏 It's the same with the auric glowy thing - they don't have a really fair shade. They do have good deep shades though and that's what we want to see.
If you have dry skins and nobotherbfoundation else works for you and you like a dewy finish try the Chanel vitalumiere in the clear glass bottle. Of 50 plus foundations I’ve trie din my life for my most dry skin this is the only product. No base or prepping required either I think it’s the oldest Chanel base product that hasn’t been reformualted or had shad range expanded so I’m terrified it will go one day
Thank you for this video! Very well on point. One of the things that irks me about Charlotte Tilbury's products is that many of them have "magic" or "wonder" in their name. Like no! It's chemistry, design and marketing. But if as a consumer this enchants you, it's a win-win, I suppose.
Yeah. It's a very old school style of naming products. Quaint, almost. Though perhaps that fits well with the retro Hollywood glamour CT is trying to project.
This was so helpful! I love luxe products and use luxury beauty as a way to feel pampered, so was considering buying the Chanel. I also, however, am on the hunt for a new, brightening under eye product before I go back to work from maternity leave and have a sample size of the CTFF. I will use that and hold off on the Chanel since I don't want that very wet look (I think I just wanted another Chanel bottle for my shelf ...which is NOT necessary!) Your channel has helped stop me from spending so much money while I bum around the house with my lil Nugget, thank you for keeping us company!!!
This. I agonize over swatches. I’m the type to have one product per category so I always want the absolute best most perfect product but there is only a small difference between products of the same category once they’re on the face. I have never looked at a person and been like “oh they are clearly wearing hoola which is subpar to Laguna.” Ive been doing exactly this between Whayne Goss and Sonia G. Brushes.
Now I am curious: where do you see a difference in the brushes from Wayne Goss compared to Sonia G.? II have rephr, and Wayne Goss, but nothing from Sonia G.)
I popped open the description box to get your outfit deets and was pleasantly surprised to see that you will review Auric! Glowy products aren't even my wheelhouse but I'm so excited to see what you think! Haha
In anticipation of Samantha Ravndahl’s new brand, Auric, I’ve been using the Hollywood Flawless Filter again. I find that the doefoot applicator gets in the way of potential uses for the products like mixing it into my foundation. Another delivery method would be preferable.
I love the Hollywood Flawless Filter but when I bought the big one, it went off rather quickly. Now I have the mini and that's working super well. I like to put it all over my face too. It's my go to base product!
Love watching you use a specific product as a jumping off point for discussions of the beauty industry and community as a whole. The only thing I was left wondering was how these compared to the VDL, and whether you tried them in any other ways. Just out of curiosity.
Stumbled upon your channel. Although this is an older video, you put into words at the end so many things I feel about the beauty community - very well said. Now off to view more current videos from you 🦋
Recenly I've bot a Tarte glow wand, mostly out of curiosity. Actually really like the effect. But it's only 6ml. Looks like CT one will be a cheaper dupe for Tarte :D
Thanks for your review! I found the Chanel's strong fragrance to be a deal-breaker. For that reason (and the fact that CT is cruelty-free), I prefer the CT product.
Thanks for the video Hannah!!! PS: I love the background, really enjoy seeing something else but a "just-white-background" you see so often on yt. That plant and the orange handback (wich is on my wishlist)
I felt exactly the sane way as you did. Auric launched with its glow lust and I am lustinggggg over it. But I have the charlotte tilbury and I will legit neverrr be able to finish it up. And, because of the doefoot applicator I'm sure it'll spoil more quickly... Anyway. Thanks for putting that into words again.
I hope the chanel les beiges is not beautiful in theory. It looks positively brilliant on your skin. Thanks for the comparison review! I'm not into the "shimmer goos" and because of my dry skin I want to stray away from the luminous powders...so I think the les beiges is my next splurge!
Still considering whether to get the mini Charlotte Tilbury or not get one at all. The mini is about 2x as expensive as the full size per oz, but I would much rather pay $15 for a small amount than $45 for a much larger amount that go bad in the bottle before I use all of it. As a very very oily person, I'd generally use it as a highlighter and not a primer
I would love to know the cost per use of these products? In other words, do you find yourself using more of one than the other, if so, one would be more cost effective than the other.... wow, I’m finding making a complete sentence really hard right now!
Hannah you hit the nail right on the head. Not that I didn't know exactly that but to hear you say it reminds me I am not the only one with this thing I feel. Ive been on this comparison search for the 3 of those (auric) for at least a week. And you'll get a kick out of why. Because auric doesn't offer Klarna. 😁 So I keep hoping someone will say that auric is exactly the same to Tilbury. But I need it in general, to fix my life.
Your take on the obsession over comparison hit me like a tonne of bricks. Whilst I have no problem with over spending, I can say without any doubt that I have a problem with exhausting my time and energy pouring over swatches, searching for 'my perfect one'. This is something I am attempting to combat this year with a 'no-shop' plan in place. I will be returning to this video to remain level headed. ❤
I have so many thoughts. First, the flawless filter has been on my list FOREVER as well, and my reasons for never buying it are the same-I can’t figure out where in my routine I’d use it, so I know myself: I just won’t use it. But I also know that it would be beautiful if I did-I’m so torn. She came out with a mini version, and surprisingly, I really don’t want that. It’s so tiny, and I’d rather get the full size because I know from experience that for base products, I won’t use a mini. I have some gift cards from Christmas and I go back and forth, thinking about how different this might be from other products I already own-as you said, there are minute differences, but what would those differences amount to in practice? All this to say, I love how your reviews aren’t *just* reviews-they’re stories about how humans work in real life. Loved this video. I know I don’t have to care about the products you’re reviewing (even though in this case I really did) to learn something from your review!
Charlotte Tilbury's foundations still contain the mystique for me, as so many people enjoy the product. But I can't justify such a hefty foundation purchase since foundation isn't my thing. But oh boy do I still get caught up in the "hunt" of it all sometimes. Even when I know I won't love the product as much as others because foundation isn't where my heart lies. Darn you marketing!
Thank you for you and this video. You are the best. I am so lucky to find you. I fell into this rabbit hole after my mom passed. It was like I was trying to buy being happy and contour a smile on my face.Line a sad clown 😝I was t really a makeup wearer before. It took a lot of reflecting to realize what was happening. Makeup become my own personal snake oil.I used to draw and sketch for fun but became submerged in cosmetics and skincare .Makeup is fun but it doesn’t change you. I still love makeup but not hypnotized by it and influencers like I was.

So true
When I finish my Charlotte Tilbury I’ll be replacing it with Auric’s.
Same. And with Auric's super air tight packaging I feel like it's going to stay intact formula wise much longer. CT packaging isn't great.
@@Creamy_Goodness and I think it’s more product! 😜

I like the Charlotte Tilbury on you best. The other is a little metallic to my eyes. Its funny how each eye sees something different.
p.s. The "rant" was the very best part, imo. Thanks for that wisdom. XO
I love when you talk about beauty and how it gets tied up in identity and escapism.

I can't wait to get my hands on Auric Glow Lust 🤤 🙌
Yes!!!! I’d love a good old comparison video. Rants included :)
I wondered the same!
I wondered, too!!!
She is trying it! Deets are in the description

on products looking almost the same when worn- omg. i tend to obsess over blush colors, because i have an idea of how the perfect blush should look, but i have yet to find it, because of all the variables involved. that is, the color of my face and then the variety of colors in my foundation and powders. but ultimately, of course, so many times it's hard to tell what blush i'm even wearing because on the face so much looks the same. so, this year i might just go for it and declutter all but like, three blushes so i can stop worrying about it. ;-)
Flollywood Hawlis Filter. :) I giggled.
I wasn’t really excited about watching a comparison of these products initially...not a huge glowy skin person...I think it is because I have glasses already, which add a big reflective pane to my face. But I am so glad I watched...as always, you manage to take the small little moments of desire that we all experience as consumers, and endow them with thoughtful presence. And that shirt is everything.
This video spoke straight to my heart ♥️ 🌹 thank you, Hannah 🙏🏼💜🥰
So if I were to use appropriate foundation to tint a larger amount of VDL lumilayer....
obsessed with this review and LOVE you! Thank you for this incredible conversation and reflection!
I'm not gonna lie, I clicked on this video knowing full well I did not care which of these two products was better. Imagine my delight when it turned to a discussion about how the choice isn't that important, and that the sort of false importance of choosing between two near-identical products obfuscates another choice - should I buy one of them at all?
can you please compare the charlotte tilbury hollywood flawless filter vs the beauty light wand
Glowing like a soap bubble 🤩 Also, all of a sudden Sadie butt 😸
I’m so glad you’re reviewing the Auric! It just seems like a perfect fit for you and your channel.
I've wanted the CT for years as well. I think I may actually get it now (once I've used all my other glowy primer products). My favorite is the Becca Backlight primer but sometimes it's just not glowy enough.
A product I’d love to see you review is the new brow freeze by abh. My fingers are crossed and my heart hopeful
Were you inspired to buy that top by Mariah Leonard? I think she has it too I love it so much.
OH MY GOD I commented at the start of the video and then you said it. That top has lived rent free in my brain too!
Now I'm wondering what the good drugstore options are for this type of product. 🤔 Let the research begin!
Would love to hear your thoughts on the RMS living lumanizer. I just recently picked it up and I LOVE how natural it is. I’m totally over the super blinding highlight, so I’m starting to appreciate these natural/subtle glow products!
I came for the shiny stuff, stayed for the philosophical questioning of how "unique" any one product could truly be! This is a really good reminder to reflect on our own collections and think about how much of the things we yearn for are similar enough to what already exists in our collections. I'm in the market for a liquid highlighting product since I've used up all of my cream and liquid illuminators, but I'm going to patiently wait for your Auric review since the price/ingredients/delivery system of that particular version of this glow product entices me the most. 😁
What do they look like when you have a full base over them? Is there a difference in the effect? Love what you are saying. What happens when you add foundation, concealer and powder? Is your skin still dewy?
Such an important thing to remember, if you're going to hunt for something to change yourself it should be books, therapy and experiences but it is just too tempting to obsess over the easy siren call of makeup
I look like a soap bubble (love that description haha) normally so avoid glowy base products!
The chanel looks nicer though
Thank you Hannah! I was contemplating and really almost pressed 'checkout' with the Hollywood flawless filter and then I watched this... I already have a multitude of glowy base products! Why do I romanticize about this particular one so much?!?! I have decided to not purchase it now - I will wait until I have no products like this left in my stash.
Girl. I really needed to hear your takeaway at the end. I recently got swept up in the fragrance community and as cool as it's been to start noticing scent in a more nuanced way, it's so easy to start thinking that I'll be somehow different if I only amass the right sort of collection. It's far too expensive of a habit to start hauling like there's no tomorrow especially seeing as how smelling different won't get me working again or change the state of the world in any meaningful way which is what I'm really trying to do. Paying attention to all the minutia of fragrance notes I don't even know if I'd like is driving me mad so I'm resolving to be honest with myself, decide what I can afford, and wait.
Anyhoo, I've been watching you for about a year and a half now and love being along for your journey. Have a fab day!
Storytime is the best🤩👏 It's the same with the auric glowy thing - they don't have a really fair shade. They do have good deep shades though and that's what we want to see.
If you have dry skins and nobotherbfoundation else works for you and you like a dewy finish try the Chanel vitalumiere in the clear glass bottle. Of 50 plus foundations I’ve trie din my life for my most dry skin this is the only product. No base or prepping required either I think it’s the oldest Chanel base product that hasn’t been reformualted or had shad range expanded so I’m terrified it will go one day
Interested to see if you will try out the Auric luminizer and cream shadows!!
Thank you for this video! Very well on point. One of the things that irks me about Charlotte Tilbury's products is that many of them have "magic" or "wonder" in their name. Like no! It's chemistry, design and marketing. But if as a consumer this enchants you, it's a win-win, I suppose.
Yeah. It's a very old school style of naming products. Quaint, almost. Though perhaps that fits well with the retro Hollywood glamour CT is trying to project.
This was so helpful! I love luxe products and use luxury beauty as a way to feel pampered, so was considering buying the Chanel. I also, however, am on the hunt for a new, brightening under eye product before I go back to work from maternity leave and have a sample size of the CTFF. I will use that and hold off on the Chanel since I don't want that very wet look (I think I just wanted another Chanel bottle for my shelf ...which is NOT necessary!) Your channel has helped stop me from spending so much money while I bum around the house with my lil Nugget, thank you for keeping us company!!!
This. I agonize over swatches. I’m the type to have one product per category so I always want the absolute best most perfect product but there is only a small difference between products of the same category once they’re on the face. I have never looked at a person and been like “oh they are clearly wearing hoola which is subpar to Laguna.” Ive been doing exactly this between Whayne Goss and Sonia G. Brushes.
Now I am curious: where do you see a difference in the brushes from Wayne Goss compared to Sonia G.?
II have rephr, and Wayne Goss, but nothing from Sonia G.)
I popped open the description box to get your outfit deets and was pleasantly surprised to see that you will review Auric! Glowy products aren't even my wheelhouse but I'm so excited to see what you think! Haha
In anticipation of Samantha Ravndahl’s new brand, Auric, I’ve been using the Hollywood Flawless Filter again. I find that the doefoot applicator gets in the way of potential uses for the products like mixing it into my foundation. Another delivery method would be preferable.
I love when it was suddenly *cat butt* *no cat butt* *cat but, away she goe!*
I love the Hollywood Flawless Filter but when I bought the big one, it went off rather quickly. Now I have the mini and that's working super well. I like to put it all over my face too. It's my go to base product!
Love watching you use a specific product as a jumping off point for discussions of the beauty industry and community as a whole.
The only thing I was left wondering was how these compared to the VDL, and whether you tried them in any other ways. Just out of curiosity.
I've read in reviews that Chanel one often conflicts with complection products. Have you noticed anything like that?
Stumbled upon your channel. Although this is an older video, you put into words at the end so many things I feel about the beauty community - very well said. Now off to view more current videos from you 🦋
What a thoughtful brilliant stylish person! I just found you via your Auric review. Lucky me! Subscribed!!! xo
Recenly I've bot a Tarte glow wand, mostly out of curiosity. Actually really like the effect. But it's only 6ml. Looks like CT one will be a cheaper dupe for Tarte :D
Thanks for your review! I found the Chanel's strong fragrance to be a deal-breaker. For that reason (and the fact that CT is cruelty-free), I prefer the CT product.
The moment she said described the glow in Chanel product … added to the cart and checked out girl you sold it to me so goooooood
Thanks for the video Hannah!!! PS: I love the background, really enjoy seeing something else but a "just-white-background" you see so often on yt. That plant and the orange handback (wich is on my wishlist)
"Shiny stuff will make you shiny." I really needed that, I think
I felt exactly the sane way as you did. Auric launched with its glow lust and I am lustinggggg over it. But I have the charlotte tilbury and I will legit neverrr be able to finish it up. And, because of the doefoot applicator I'm sure it'll spoil more quickly...
Anyway. Thanks for putting that into words again.
Unrelated to this review but I absolutely ADORE that top on you 🥰🥰
I hope the chanel les beiges is not beautiful in theory. It looks positively brilliant on your skin. Thanks for the comparison review! I'm not into the "shimmer goos" and because of my dry skin I want to stray away from the luminous powders...so I think the les beiges is my next splurge!
I am interested if there is a drugstore dupe?
I am a very fair natural redhead and the Charlotte tilbury is a perfect match when used on my face all over like a primer…spectacular…
Still considering whether to get the mini Charlotte Tilbury or not get one at all. The mini is about 2x as expensive as the full size per oz, but I would much rather pay $15 for a small amount than $45 for a much larger amount that go bad in the bottle before I use all of it. As a very very oily person, I'd generally use it as a highlighter and not a primer
I absolutely love your insight. I have been having some very similar feelings about makeup!
I would love to know the cost per use of these products? In other words, do you find yourself using more of one than the other, if so, one would be more cost effective than the other.... wow, I’m finding making a complete sentence really hard right now!
It really is ALL the same same same and none of it changes what’s inside one bit. Thanks for sharing!
Hannah you hit the nail right on the head. Not that I didn't know exactly that but to hear you say it reminds me I am not the only one with this thing I feel. Ive been on this comparison search for the 3 of those (auric) for at least a week. And you'll get a kick out of why. Because auric doesn't offer Klarna. 😁 So I keep hoping someone will say that auric is exactly the same to Tilbury. But I need it in general, to fix my life.
To add to the “perfect glow quest” ...
Revlon’s Lumi Glotion is a total dupe to your products mentioned at a fraction of the price
Your take on the obsession over comparison hit me like a tonne of bricks. Whilst I have no problem with over spending, I can say without any doubt that I have a problem with exhausting my time and energy pouring over swatches, searching for 'my perfect one'. This is something I am attempting to combat this year with a 'no-shop' plan in place. I will be returning to this video to remain level headed. ❤
Ahh dear chasing the obsessive need to knohhh. So no review on Auric? X
I had an ad for CT Hollywood Flawless Filter before the start of this video 😂
Then let's see auric and danessa myricks!
Yessss I hope to see an Auric review 🥰
LOVE HOW DEEP THIS VIDEO GOT! Wowwwwww im a new subscriber and just wowwwwwww! Awesome video Hannah! Both products look beautiful ❤️
I have so many thoughts. First, the flawless filter has been on my list FOREVER as well, and my reasons for never buying it are the same-I can’t figure out where in my routine I’d use it, so I know myself: I just won’t use it. But I also know that it would be beautiful if I did-I’m so torn. She came out with a mini version, and surprisingly, I really don’t want that. It’s so tiny, and I’d rather get the full size because I know from experience that for base products, I won’t use a mini. I have some gift cards from Christmas and I go back and forth, thinking about how different this might be from other products I already own-as you said, there are minute differences, but what would those differences amount to in practice? All this to say, I love how your reviews aren’t *just* reviews-they’re stories about how humans work in real life. Loved this video. I know I don’t have to care about the products you’re reviewing (even though in this case I really did) to learn something from your review!
Charlotte Tilbury's foundations still contain the mystique for me, as so many people enjoy the product. But I can't justify such a hefty foundation purchase since foundation isn't my thing. But oh boy do I still get caught up in the "hunt" of it all sometimes. Even when I know I won't love the product as much as others because foundation isn't where my heart lies. Darn you marketing!
Does the Charlotte tilbury one have a scent? To me that makes a big difference.
It’s unscented. It’s just vaguely makeup-y when I stick my nose close to the wand.
Can you apply this as highlighter after you use powder products? Thanks in advance ❤
I’m blaming you! You made me buy the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood flawless filter! 😆🥰I’m really looking forward to getting my hands on it! Oh dear.....
I used to own the ct Hollywood glow but I prefer the Milani soft focus glow
Loved the lightsaber battle 😂
More gloss! ALL OF THE GLOSS!!
ETA: The downvotes are all from Nordstrom.
Thank you for you and this video. You are the best. I am so lucky to find you. I fell into this rabbit hole after my mom passed. It was like I was trying to buy being happy and contour a smile on my face.Line a sad clown 😝I was t really a makeup wearer before. It took a lot of reflecting to realize what was happening. Makeup become my own personal snake oil.I used to draw and sketch for fun but became submerged in cosmetics and skincare .Makeup is fun but it doesn’t change you. I still love makeup but not hypnotized by it and influencers like I was.
The logical conclusion is, you’re definitely going to have to try Samantha Ravendhl’s Auric Glow Lust and see how it stacks up against these two....
CT premiered a mini 2 weeks ago.
My main problem with CT is longevity - it is gorgeous for 1 hour and than it disappears 🤷🏻♀️
What is the online wishlist app that yall use?
I LOVE the top
