Caroline, THIS is why I love you so much! Not only do you want us to know about all the best products, but advocating that the application process should be effective and easy and not send us into a rage. Life is just waaay to short to start and/or end our days frustrated and wearing cranky pants!
Lyla Thomas omg yes. i love that cleanser to bits but the packaging is just infuriating! nirvana in the bottle but the packaging is satan ;) (Caroline, your phrases are the bees knees)
Love this! My hatred is for droppers/applicators that aren’t long enough to reach close enough to the bottom so you have to faff about getting the product out!
Alexandra Bogdanova mine is a josh wood hair oil which is lovely but I don’t want to pour it everywhere and the dropper is rubbish anyway! So annoying x
The worst dropper I have is by loccitane. It is two layers of plastic glued together, except the glue dissolves over time, and the top layer slides off... Let me tell you, getting glue all over your hands whenever you want to use the product is the worst!
So much yes to all of this. Especially the Body Shop camomile cleansing oil, which has covered my bathroom cabinet with product. And the Emma Hardie. And the Tata Harper pump/bag eye cream. And the small-aperture-large-pot dilemma. Nodding along through the *whole* of this video.
And that Bobbi Brown serum foundation is a disgrace. I lost an entire bottle because the glass pipette snapped in half and left broken glass in the product.
Bravo! Thank you for bringing these issues with packaging to the forefront. We spend tons of $$$$ for great products but many many companies have such terrible packaging. Especially Tata Harper. The products are amazing......most of the packaging is beyond terrible. This will be this companies downfall....and it’s very unfortunate for them to be so short sighted.
I really hope that brands will see this video. Your explanations regarding the packaging flaws were spot on, and it’s confounding to think that higher ups are so clueless. I love the Estée Lauder eye serum, as it’s hydrating and doesn’t irritate my eyes, but having to scrap off the product from the glass rod is ridiculous.
Hooorrray!! Putting people power and social media to work ! Well done Caroline . You are a brilliant example of someone who CAN create change. Listening to our comments, being someone who knows the industry and is passionate and brave enough to put yourself out there to create change. Great role model for us girls everywhere xxx
Thank you for speaking out esp for those of us who don't have a loud enough voice for companies to take heed. An esteemed professional such as yourself so knowledgeable in the business who is also such an avid consumer long before becoming part of the industry AND to have the courage to speak out on the ridiculous packaging consumers r subjected to , well thank you honestly just isn't enough. I don't care how much money I spend on my skincare because I have but one skin that I didn't take care enough prior to 15 years ago. So I adore skincare yet I'm fed up with so much crap packaging which has made me walk away from lovely products to find other things solely based on packaging. Much appreciation for all your work!
Honest to God Caroline - hands down the best video I’ve ever watched!!! Couldn’t agree more with you on so many of those products. I look forward to episode 2 and pray to Jesus that the brands start listening!!!!
That is the best Sunday morning I have had in a long time! Laugh....! Totally understand the frustration and said Yes to most of the items you showed. So looking forward to the series Caroline. Happy weekend 😂
OMG, you’re sooooooo brilliant!!!!!!! Thank you so much for addressing this! Loved watching you! Too late, but here’s another one: Clinique „even better make-up SPF 15“-foundation: the bottle’s so stiff, almost impossible to get out the right amount, impossible to get out the huge amount of last remains, NEVER gonna buy again!
Totally agree! Many times I've loved the ingredients list, but packaging puts me off. I thought I was just being too precious. ❤️ your makeup and nails...
Great video, Caroline! Totally agree about Estee Lauder Eye Matrix, plus the air comes in every single time you open it. Plus, it is messy. Emma Hardie cleanser leaks like crazy and the lid cracks over time. PUMP WANTED!
Ah, most satisfying video ever!!! I cannot live without the Neutrogena body lotion for dry skin, but whenever I get to the end of one it's a swearing galore. The plastic is too hard to cut through and there is sooo much product left inside. It drives me mad. Balancing the unstable bottle on its head for days is equally frustrating and still... I always buy a new one because the juice so bloody good! That's why I loved this video so much. Sooo comforting to see this is such a common experience
Brilliant series! The salon size clarins cleanser & toner spits so badly that I buy the regular size rather than save money. Tom ford pumps are an example of great packaging
Oh my gosh thank you for this series!! (We all know there are plenty of offenders out there!) And where have you been my whole life! Love your attitude and honesty! I am nearly 46 and there is so many young pretty people on TH-cam talking about beauty and it is always slightly annoying. I need reality- so thanks!! You are a light in my day! :)
Halleluja! EH moringa, every single tub I have had has come apart, cracked and being a pain to use! And I haven't even botherd using the frikken Tata cleansing oil because of the pump not working properly 😲😡 and I hate the Bobbi Brown pipette in that foundation! So happy to hear that they are doing something about it 👍 Great show as always Mrs H #lovethejuicehatethepackaging
Apparently, packaging comes as an afterthought or some kind of sales gimmick to brands. Yes, I think we all do love pretty packaging, but practicality determines the level of regular use. Having had personal experience with the Kerastase masks, I agree that things get messy in the shower. Not just because of the required effort to extract the product, but also because you need to be extra careful to not get water in the container. Even wet fingers can dilute the product in a certain amount of time. Thank you for yet another terrific video Caroline :)
Great subject for video - crap packaging. The pipette issue I had with hylamide once and agree. I used EH balm and all that happened to you did to me, (minus using the thin plastic cover.) Leaking on side, outer pot cracking as well as lid. Hopefully these companies will take notice. So funny re ELauder eye serum. I think it had to be a man who had no beauty savvy.
Thank goodness someone has made this video. I would have bought that Bobbi Brown foundation ages ago but for reading so many bad reviews about the packaging on their own website. If an SA suggests it in store I have told them I'd only buy it if they put it in a pump.
Thank you for this video. If anyone can appeal to them to change it's you! I've given up on Tata Harper - though I love it. The pump always gets clogged (I've been know to take a toothpick to it...), and it flies out everywhere, and for the price of the product, there's no excuse for it. I've only had the EH balm pot crack once (in the travel size), but I love it so much, I still use it.
YES! I HATE Kerastase packaging in general but love the product; I don’t understand why they can’t use flip tops that I can use one-handed in the shower! Ditto for any other screw-top shower item (Bleach London shampoo, scrubs, etc). My Tata cleanser doesn’t even push down, let alone ‘ejaculate’ everywhere. The pipette on my EL ANR has gone before rendering the product unusable (I had about a third of the bottle left) but the lovely lady on the counter in Boots replaced it for me.When your double cleanse came out, I thought ‘I wish this was in some kind of stacking packaging’ (like Trinny’s) so that you can take one part or both with you, depending on what you need.
I have just got a Tata Harper cleanser a couple of days ago and have not used it yet (I am going to use it this weekend) So am now thinking .......are there going to be tears, growling, swearing under my breath and wanting to throw the item against the wall around the room after a little while of using it aaarrrhhhhh Lol x
Nuxe detox night cream (dark purple bottle) has THE BEST packaging I've ever seen, first of all, not a single drop of product remains in the tube after use (without the need for a single lift of a finger!), 2nd, it has a perfect engineering for dispensing the product, completely travel safe as the pushing part goes completely inside when closed, so absolutely no chance of spill whatsoever, and last but not least, while being extremely light and durable, the packaging is chic enough for a makeup table or nightstand. and the product inside works wonders too. never have i ever been this happy with a product, honestly !
Love that you had one good packaging example in there - that could be a whole other video/series or have one great example each time you end up doing a video like this
Love the Pixi products but trying to get the Beauty Sleep Cream out of the tube is dreadful. Always have to open the top of it which defeats the purpose of the pump.
The Pixi Mists also have horrid packaging! The pump almost always breaks after a while, I've had something like a dozen bottles (I love the Milky Mist!) and at least 6 or so were leaking and stopped spraying after a while. Terrible!
100% agree! Especially the pump nozzles are driving me crazy! With a slightly thicker cream you always get this nasty blockages - and if you don't use a product each and every day, it's even getting worse. BTW: I lovelovelove an early morning rant from CH! Totally makes my day :-D xxx
So good! Pump bags are the worst - the La Roche Posay Tolariane night cream has one and when I got to the 'end' there was easily several more applications left in the pump bag but no more would come out
I wish wish wish the Davines OI shampoo had a pump or even came in a squeezy bottle. Love the shampoo and have repurchased it but oh my it's a pain to use in the shower having to unscrew the tiny lid every time!! Love this series, please do more!
Decleor system corps the curvy bottomed pump bottles! I end up taking a pair of garden shears to it to get the product out of the bottom. The pump from their micellar oil randomly pops off too. The products are divine 🙌🏼 the packaging is disastrous 🤦🏻♀️
I cannot press like enough on this. All of these issues on a variety of products has driven me quite demented from time to time. Niod is my pet peeve at the moment. I bloody love some of their products but I live in fear of knocking over the bottle and wasting a whole heap of money while I’m using the dropper. Especially with my 3mL trial size FECC. I think my blood pressure actually increases when I’m using these products.
Loved this, informative, constructive but by no means scathing of the brand or product. Thank you for being honest without it turning into a negative vlog. 🙏👍
The Ordinary High-Spreadability Fluid Primer. A fairly thick silicone primer in a dropped bottle. I have never manage to prime my face without frustration.
I'd add Zelens Power A/C/D to the list as they're great products, but the bottles often don't close properly and the metal cover keeps detatching from the plastic dropper underneath - seems a bit cheap for such expensive products☹ Defo with you on Tata's pumps - the Regenerating cleanser pump keeps blocking with dried out product - so annoying!
When design is more important than the practicability, but we are paying for the content and not the bottle that stands beautifully on the counter! #lovethejuicehatethepackaging I just love you Hirons!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
You can use a little spatula - Korean products usually have them included. Clever, clever Koreans! And yeah, that Trinny stack, not so genius - how would any woman with nails get product out of these tiny containers, especially when travelling or going out. Not seeing it!
the La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume AP has the same problem as the L'Occitane lotion-just too thick to go through the pump. but it's the only one which helps with my very dry (eczema) skin so I use it anyways
Loved this video! Couldn’t agree more with you about Emma Hardie and Tata. Tata in particular infuriated me, because of how expensive the products are customers deserve to have the best packaging!
Was waiting for the honourable mention of the Tara Harper eye mask! :) it used to be in a tube but was so hard it wouldn't come out, and apparently there were so many complaints, they changed the packaging and put it in a jar! Brilliant!
I love you, Caroline Hirons!!! I thought I was mental about Emma Hardie. I love EH cleansing balm and have used on your recommendation on a you tube favorites some time ago. Hate the container with a passion.
That's so funny! I forgot to mention in your comment the ANR Matrix and it was in your list!!! It is FANTASTIC and I want to have it in my pro-kit as a MAU but I need a pump to it!!!! Love your videos Caroline😊
I adore you Caroline!!! You are not at all picky, I hate bad packaging too. I agree with you on every single one of those products, and I have another to give you. The Clarins Moisture Rich Body Lotion in the 400 ml bottle. Clarins switched to a cheaper, stiffer plastic, that feels like you're squeezing a block of wood. I rip a tendon in my hand whenever I use that thing. Thank you so much for speaking the truth. Companies have become so greedy -- cutting costs on packaging. Shame on them! Love you.
Love this post! I use Bare Minerals Bareskin SPF Serum Foundation, and there is so much waste from the bottle as the product keeps coming up through the nozzle once you've squeezed out the amount you want. So, lots of the product sits around the rim and in the lid. Grrr!
Thank you so much for this! Completely 100% tried and true. EL also made me killer and I gave up on TBS because of the crappy packaging. Please more to come!
I love your double cleanse product collab with Pixi, I use it every night. I also want to use just the cleansing cream in the morning too. Could you please ask Pixi to package the two cleansers separately? The cleansing cream in a tube would be great! Thanks 👍
Thanks to this video I took the scissors out for my Caudalie premier cru eye cream (pump with an air bag). I thought I was done with it, but there was still so much more inside!!
Great video. Please do more! My big bug is Neutrogena cleansing wipes. After you open them they don’t seal back up and the top ones dry out! So annoying!
The Estee Lauder eye cream - I don't use the stick to apply ... instead I use it to scrape out product for my finger and it is useful to get the last bits out... But could def be made soooooo much better.
I purchased some of the Merumaya products after your video. They are great but the eye cream pump is terrible - either no product or enough for your whole face comes out. I emailed them and they acknowledged that there was a problem and would be changing it in the next batch and told me to push up against the product coming out. This hasn’t really helped. It was by no means cheap and I was surprised by the response. As with the products you mention today - great but sort the packaging out! Brilliant video as always x
Please keep the series going on. It's so satisfying and practical and fun and everything.
"Nirvana in a bottle, but the bottle is Satan" HAHAHAHAH
I was eating at that moment and I almost spat my food out LOL
I laughed so loud my cats jumped and ran from the bedroom. 😍
Caroline, THIS is why I love you so much! Not only do you want us to know about all the best products, but advocating that the application process should be effective and easy and not send us into a rage. Life is just waaay to short to start and/or end our days frustrated and wearing cranky pants!
YES THANK YOU FOR MENTIONING TATA HARPER! I’ve actually stopped using the cleanser because I fight with the darn pump EVERY. SINGLE. TIME!
Right?! I love the regenerating cleanser but just...all the nopes. I refuse to purchase it again until they fix it!
Lyla Thomas omg yes. i love that cleanser to bits but the packaging is just infuriating! nirvana in the bottle but the packaging is satan ;) (Caroline, your phrases are the bees knees)
Love this! My hatred is for droppers/applicators that aren’t long enough to reach close enough to the bottom so you have to faff about getting the product out!
Oh, that's me currently suffering with Clarins oil, there's about 1/6 left but the dropper doesn't reach it anymore and i'm furious
Alexandra Bogdanova mine is a josh wood hair oil which is lovely but I don’t want to pour it everywhere and the dropper is rubbish anyway! So annoying x
It's easy enough to decant them into a different bottle . MUJI make tiny funnels you can use with their travel bottles and pumps .
+Sue Hadley And I am assuming the company I have given my hard earned money will import the MUJI bootles for me and deal with the decanting?
The worst dropper I have is by loccitane. It is two layers of plastic glued together, except the glue dissolves over time, and the top layer slides off... Let me tell you, getting glue all over your hands whenever you want to use the product is the worst!
The more frustrated Caroline gets,the funnier she is.I know this isnt helpful !♥
I was tearing my hair out LOL xx
Caroline Hirons Oh god,dont do that.Its looking great.♥
Hahahaha thank you!
You can't be faulted for telling the truth.
LOVE how passionate you are!!! I can't wait to see more!
So much yes to all of this. Especially the Body Shop camomile cleansing oil, which has covered my bathroom cabinet with product. And the Emma Hardie. And the Tata Harper pump/bag eye cream. And the small-aperture-large-pot dilemma. Nodding along through the *whole* of this video.

The products are amazing......most of the packaging is beyond terrible. This will be this companies downfall....and it’s very unfortunate for them to be so short sighted.
Like I said, love the juice, hate the packaging!
Thanks for the video Caroline! On a totally unrelated note, the green and white stone ring you are wearing in the video is STUNNING and I love it!!
I really hope that brands will see this video. Your explanations regarding the packaging flaws were spot on, and it’s confounding to think that higher ups are so clueless.
I love the Estée Lauder eye serum, as it’s hydrating and doesn’t irritate my eyes, but having to scrap off the product from the glass rod is ridiculous.
So funny! And you are so right.
This woman saved my skin! I started following her regime five years ago and I lost my acne.
That green-stone ring is absolutely beautiful. And I love the idea of this video!
Hooorrray!! Putting people power and social media to work ! Well done Caroline .
You are a brilliant example of someone who CAN create change.
Listening to our comments, being someone who knows the industry
and is passionate and brave enough to put yourself out there to create change.
Great role model for us girls everywhere xxx
I had to watch twice. The first time i just admired your makeup!
Lol thank you x
Thank you for speaking out esp for those of us who don't have a loud enough voice for companies to take heed. An esteemed professional such as yourself so knowledgeable in the business who is also such an avid consumer long before becoming part of the industry AND to have the courage to speak out on the ridiculous packaging consumers r subjected to , well thank you honestly just isn't enough.

So I adore skincare yet I'm fed up with so much crap packaging which has made me walk away from lovely products to find other things solely based on packaging. Much appreciation for all your work!
Tata Harper have just updated the pump on their cleansers and the new pump works beautifully!
excellent !!! no more Muji transferring ...
Hallelujah!
Honest to God Caroline - hands down the best video I’ve ever watched!!! Couldn’t agree more with you on so many of those products. I look forward to episode 2 and pray to Jesus that the brands start listening!!!!
I’m so glad it’s not just me with the body shop camomile oil problem. Absolutely adore it but I thought I just kept getting unlucky with the bottles!
Def not just you. x
Louise Hendy I returned it. It just kept leaking, drove me crazy. I didn’t like the smell anyhow but I would have tolerated it if it had not leaked.
That is the best Sunday morning I have had in a long time! Laugh....! Totally understand the frustration and said Yes to most of the items you showed. So looking forward to the series Caroline. Happy weekend 😂

I must say that I'm making time to watch your videos, because you're the real thing, informative, funny, real. Btw, love the makeup in this one! 🤗
Brilliant video, I agree, many great products with awful package
Apparently, packaging comes as an afterthought or some kind of sales gimmick to brands. Yes, I think we all do love pretty packaging, but practicality determines the level of regular use. Having had personal experience with the Kerastase masks, I agree that things get messy in the shower.

Oh mrs Hirons I think I fall for you a little bit more with each video! Bloody love this ❤️
Yes! What an excellent idea for a video! I really hope brands take note, change existing god awful packaging and properly test any future packaging.
The best video I’ve seen in a long time!! Love you always CH. Let’s pray someone actually listens!
Great subject for video - crap packaging. The pipette issue I had with hylamide once and agree. I used EH balm and all that happened to you did to me, (minus using the thin plastic cover.) Leaking on side, outer pot cracking as well as lid. Hopefully these companies will take notice. So funny re ELauder eye serum. I think it had to be a man who had no beauty savvy.
You may be one of the few people who can tell the companies about that without a misunderstanding and pay attention!!!You are the best!!!
I hope they listen if enough of us have a word! x
The best video to wake up and watch on a Saturday. 'This makes me vile to my children' 🤣
The shame LOL
I’d like to add the Pixi Milk Serum. The dropper is the worst just like the EL dropper. I can’t live without it and so much gets wasted on the rim!
Thank goodness someone has made this video. I would have bought that Bobbi Brown foundation ages ago but for reading so many bad reviews about the packaging on their own website. If an SA suggests it in store I have told them I'd only buy it if they put it in a pump.
This just made my day! Perfect video Caroline... please make a series!!
Body Shop oil cleanser is that absolute nuts - oddly glad to hear others find the bottle to be a leaky pain in the arse (nice image there)!
Thank you for this video. If anyone can appeal to them to change it's you! I've given up on Tata Harper - though I love it. The pump always gets clogged (I've been know to take a toothpick to it...), and it flies out everywhere, and for the price of the product, there's no excuse for it. I've only had the EH balm pot crack once (in the travel size), but I love it so much, I still use it.
This is the best beauty video I have ever seen in my life! You are a legend CH!
YES! I HATE Kerastase packaging in general but love the product; I don’t understand why they can’t use flip tops that I can use one-handed in the shower! Ditto for any other screw-top shower item (Bleach London shampoo, scrubs, etc). My Tata cleanser doesn’t even push down, let alone ‘ejaculate’ everywhere.

Your makeup is gorgeous! Love this look on you, edgy and glowing. Love you Caroline!
Nuxe detox night cream (dark purple bottle) has THE BEST packaging I've ever seen, first of all, not a single drop of product remains in the tube after use (without the need for a single lift of a finger!), 2nd, it has a perfect engineering for dispensing the product, completely travel safe as the pushing part goes completely inside when closed, so absolutely no chance of spill whatsoever, and last but not least, while being extremely light and durable, the packaging is chic enough for a makeup table or nightstand. and the product inside works wonders too. never have i ever been this happy with a product, honestly !

I wish wish wish the Davines OI shampoo had a pump or even came in a squeezy bottle. Love the shampoo and have repurchased it but oh my it's a pain to use in the shower having to unscrew the tiny lid every time!! Love this series, please do more!
+Laura Williams Oh god YES. Brilliant product. BRILLIANT. Pot: no.
Decleor system corps the curvy bottomed pump bottles! I end up taking a pair of garden shears to it to get the product out of the bottom.
The pump from their micellar oil randomly pops off too. The products are divine 🙌🏼 the packaging is disastrous 🤦🏻♀️
Absolutely brilliant!! Roaring with empathetic laughter, all the way down here in Australia!
I cannot press like enough on this. All of these issues on a variety of products has driven me quite demented from time to time. Niod is my pet peeve at the moment. I bloody love some of their products but I live in fear of knocking over the bottle and wasting a whole heap of money while I’m using the dropper. Especially with my 3mL trial size FECC.

LOL sorry for laughing Angela but I do get it. x
Loved this, informative, constructive but by no means scathing of the brand or product. Thank you for being honest without it turning into a negative vlog. 🙏👍
The Ordinary High-Spreadability Fluid Primer. A fairly thick silicone primer in a dropped bottle. I have never manage to prime my face without frustration.

They've fixed this now. But yes, properly frustrating!
Caroline Hirons Amazing - thanks for info Caroline!
When design is more important than the practicability, but we are paying for the content and not the bottle that stands beautifully on the counter! #lovethejuicehatethepackaging I just love you Hirons!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Honestly almost anything in a pot. We have nails, people! Sick of wasting products under my nails! Love this video. X
Sylvia Cowie Amen!
Amen indeed!
Exactly - makes me a bit dubious about the Trinny stack - I haven't tried them but definitely have visions of product under my nails
Sylvia Cowie
scoop it agains, not towards. Problem solvd.
You can use a little spatula - Korean products usually have them included. Clever, clever Koreans! And yeah, that Trinny stack, not so genius - how would any woman with nails get product out of these tiny containers, especially when travelling or going out. Not seeing it!
the La Roche Posay Lipikar Baume AP has the same problem as the L'Occitane lotion-just too thick to go through the pump. but it's the only one which helps with my very dry (eczema) skin so I use it anyways
Why oh why can't they just put it in a regular, "squizeable" tube?!
Here (in France) I buy this in a tube... Maybe they have different packaging in different countries? The best cream for eczema, I agree.
Yes! Thank you! I share your frustration with these products.
Loved this video! Couldn’t agree more with you about Emma Hardie and Tata. Tata in particular infuriated me, because of how expensive the products are customers deserve to have the best packaging!
Was waiting for the honourable mention of the Tara Harper eye mask! :) it used to be in a tube but was so hard it wouldn't come out, and apparently there were so many complaints, they changed the packaging and put it in a jar! Brilliant!
Yeah covered that on the blog at the time. xx
I totally agree with all of your packaging complaints! PLEASE companies/brands LISTEN to the buyers!! Great vidoeo Caroline and much needed! xo
Love this! The kerastase shampoos and conditioners could really do with flip lids instead of screw tops, drives me nuts too.
OMG! Those eyes, that hair! Looking gorgeous, Caroline!
U should always do ur makeup like this!
I doubt Hannah has the time :P
If I could have Hannah pop round every day I would LOL x
I love you, Caroline Hirons!!! I thought I was mental about Emma Hardie. I love EH cleansing balm and have used on your recommendation on a you tube favorites some time ago. Hate the container with a passion.
I love how honest you are.
That's so funny! I forgot to mention in your comment the ANR Matrix and it was in your list!!! It is FANTASTIC and I want to have it in my pro-kit as a MAU but I need a pump to it!!!! Love your videos Caroline😊
Looking great love!! Bad packaging prevents me from buying so many things 😣
How are more people not subscribed to you? You are seriously my favorite
Even in your frustration (every bit correct) you put a smile on my face and me a giggle. Nice Saturday morning😍😍.
Love love love this video. Someone is finally acknowledging our frutration
Your hair and makeup looks amazing!
I hear you, but I'm looking at your eye makeup. Stunning
I adore you Caroline!!! You are not at all picky, I hate bad packaging too. I agree with you on every single one of those products, and I have another to give you. The Clarins Moisture Rich Body Lotion in the 400 ml bottle. Clarins switched to a cheaper, stiffer plastic, that feels like you're squeezing a block of wood. I rip a tendon in my hand whenever I use that thing. Thank you so much for speaking the truth. Companies have become so greedy -- cutting costs on packaging. Shame on them! Love you.
Love your honesty! Brilliant as always Caroline , just hope brands are listening :)
Very entertaining and, as usual, spot on. Gorgeous and genius - win win Mrs Hirons. Oh, and love the shout out to Trindle ❤️
Love this post! I use Bare Minerals Bareskin SPF Serum Foundation, and there is so much waste from the bottle as the product keeps coming up through the nozzle once you've squeezed out the amount you want. So, lots of the product sits around the rim and in the lid. Grrr!
Agreed 100% with Tata Harper eye cream-i've managed to take the bag out and use a LOT from it! Great video agree with all them packaging issues :)
Could you please do an oily skin products video 🙏🏼 very much needed
Such a great video, such a shame when bad packaging assaults a good formulation - that emerald ring of yours is gorgeous!
Dior forever Foundation omg! I used a hacksaw to get the pump off to get 10 more uses out of it!!!!
That description of the tata pump. Oh catch it! 😂😂
and she is absolutely right (as usual)
Thank you so much for this! Completely 100% tried and true. EL also made me killer and I gave up on TBS because of the crappy packaging. Please more to come!
LOVING the eye look!
I love your double cleanse product collab with Pixi, I use it every night. I also want to use just the cleansing cream in the morning too. Could you please ask Pixi to package the two cleansers separately? The cleansing cream in a tube would be great! Thanks 👍
Looking absolutely stunning, reminds me if when Hannah BB did your makeup..love it xx
+Ju Manington this was Hannah!!
Thanks to this video I took the scissors out for my Caudalie premier cru eye cream (pump with an air bag). I thought I was done with it, but there was still so much more inside!!
I am so so delighted with this .... god I hope the brands listen to her ... I have all the same complaints and stop using the products 👍🏽😎
Dunno if the dropper was a dud but the caudalie polyphenol C15 dropper did not suck up any product and I had to turn it upside down to get it out😕
Omg, THANK YOU! Hope the brands will hear you 🙄 Armani spf primer is the one i love but just cant deal with the bottle!
Great video. Please do more! My big bug is Neutrogena cleansing wipes. After you open them they don’t seal back up and the top ones dry out! So annoying!
I love you so much! You make my day really!! Can you do please an updated video for am and pm cleansers????? xxx
The Estee Lauder eye cream - I don't use the stick to apply ... instead I use it to scrape out product for my finger and it is useful to get the last bits out... But could def be made soooooo much better.
I purchased some of the Merumaya products after your video. They are great but the eye cream pump is terrible - either no product or enough for your whole face comes out. I emailed them and they acknowledged that there was a problem and would be changing it in the next batch and told me to push up against the product coming out. This hasn’t really helped. It was by no means cheap and I was surprised by the response. As with the products you mention today - great but sort the packaging out! Brilliant video as always x
