Hi Kelly! I was a loyal Olaplex user but when I tried K18 it was a game changer! Even my hairdresser told me that K18 is way better for the hair than Olaplex even though they use Olaplex in their salon so I know he wasn't trying to "sell" me on it. The treatment and the oil have changed my hair completely, it's worth trying.
it’s scientifically proven to be ‘better’ than olaplex if your goal is to repair your hair. it genuinely does something different to hair bonds than olaplex so it’s definitely better 👍🏽
I bought K18 twice I wait for a sale though. Still expensive. I use it for the first 3 washes then after as needed. It stops breakage in its tracks. I will say similar to Olaplex if you don’t damage your hair it is a waste. No need to buy it. A regular occasional protein treatment would suffice.
As a hair dresser, we got a sample of K 18. My hair had been looking dry and frizzy after a perm did not work great with my hair color. We tried the k 18 and my hair was visibly better immediately. Going to get more to have on hand.
I’m not sure the tower28 spray could really be worth it when you can get the same thing in the wound care aisle of the pharmacy for 1/2 the price, but I do think it’s cool they are making people aware of hypochlorous acid. The mascara really is amazing! It lasts all day on me without smudging or crumbling and makes my eyes look lifted.
I ordered a liter of hypochlorous acid from briotech and I refill spray bottles for myself and gift them to friends. I love it for cleansing tattoos on the go a well
I’ve wasted so much money on beauty 🤦🏻♀️ It’s exciting to make a new purchase but the newness and excitement wears off almost instantly and then it’s on to the next shiny thing. A vicious cycle. Just think about how much money you’ll save if you don’t cave in though.
I really appreciate your intentional thoughts about buying new products when you already have more than you need. I am trying not buy any makeup the rest of the year. I'll spend my money on something else for a change.
I would say that you are not missing out at all by passing up on Tower 28 cream blushes. I bought one a good while back. I've tested it many times and it's got no lasting power what so ever. The only cream blush that that i feel actually does last is the one from Honest Beauty. Probably because it's a thicker formula. The brush you use matters immensely because initially I used my fingers and it never lasted. I now use a cheap stippling brush and it's become one of my favorite blushes. It's not greasy at all but not matte either. It's just gives you a perfect healthy skin look.
This is so funny because the Tower28 blush is a favorite of mine, and the only cream blush that seems to stick around on me. It's crazy how differently a product can work on two different people!
Blush colors looking similar once on the face is precisely what got me to stop buying blush all together. I used to feel like i had to have every color i came across. Now I rarely have an ounce of interest when i see new blushes come out. When i see girls that have a blush "collection" of 50 plus blushes i just think, what a waste.
I absolutely luv this video and how you explained how some perfumes can smell great on someone but not smell nice when you wear it, and how different products work well for some people and not for others
K18 is amazing!! After dying my hair blonde I went through 2 full bottles of olaplex and couldn’t get the dry straw texture out of my hair and after I went to the salon and she gave me ONE treatment of k18 and my hair was instantly back to normal Edit: I agree with you I will be purchasing it when I finish the hair treatments I have now! That’s the way!
The perfume thing is so true. I love YSL Black Opium (Original, Le Parfum, & Illicit Green) and I am always surprised by reviews saying it never lasts on other people. I can spray it on myself and *still* smell it on me the next day. Skin ph and your natural smell play such a weird role in fragrance!
The tower 28 and kosas cream blushes are objectively my favorite cream blush formulas of all time. However, I haven’t had them for a while and probably will hold off repurchasing both for a very long time because they both go bad extremely quickly. Even for a cream blush. 6-8 months is all you get in my experience. If you only have one cream blush, you use it every day, and pan it in less than a year. Go for it. If not, the Milani cheek kiss are beautiful, less expensive, very similar, and don’t go bad nearly as quickly.
K18 is incredible. I've been bleaching my hair and using fashion colors for ten years now and K18 saved my hair after one bleaching mishap than left me with severely damaged, stretchy hair that was snapping off at the crown. Olaplex was my faithful companion until I did one treatment cycle with K18. If you abuse your hair like I do GET K18. It's unmatched.
Yeah I agree! My hairdresser recommended it for my bleached and dyed waist length hair. It has really helped my hair stay healthy! I still get split ends, but definitely not as many as I used to! The price is eye watering though 🥴
I have a wish list of products im interest on and my goal is buy them on sale (sephora vip sale o black friday)… thats help me to avoid impulsive purchase
I tried the ph changing things when I was a teenager. I couldn't agree more once you have one you've tried them all. Fragrances smelling different on different people is something I also learned as a teen. I LOVED my roommate's perfume on her. She told me to try it on me to see if I still liked it on me. I thought that was an odd concept, like why wouldn't I. But I'm glad she did. I still absolutely love the scent of that perfume all these years later. But just not on me.
You almost had me talked out of the hair tool, until you said who it would be good for, and you described my hair. 😂 I don’t think I’m going to buy it because I have the air wrap and curling irons.
Hi Kelly, in my experience the Kayali perfumes need to macerate and they smell so much better after. It happened to my Vanilla 28 bottle, I thought it was the most bland and basic vanilla ever, but after about 2 weeks It changed into the most delicious fragrance ! I make sure to spray 5-6 times so that air goes into the bottle (I’m not sure this is actually happening) and then I leave the bottle without a cap.
Ok, but as someone with fine hair, I actually love the thermal brush so much. Its really good for people who shower at night and airdry their hair and want to smooth it out in the morning. It doesn’t really make it straight, you can flip the ends slightly and it adds a nice wave. But I do agree with you, if you already own a straightener or own hot air brushes (I have neither), it doesn’t make sense to own the thermal brush, too.
I've impulse bought too many perfumes. I have started to spray myself if I like it then wear it the rest of the day and decide if I like it enough to purchase it. I feel like it's saved my marriage 😂
When using that hair tool you’d need to lift the hair just like the hairdresser does with a round brush and hair dryer. A root lift product would be good. I do think this barrel would work best on mid length to chin length hair. Xx
I gotta tell you. That K18 mask has no equal. It repairs your hair from the inside, not the surface. It's so good that you can't even use it too frequently. It's been hyped since last fall for a really good reason. The Tower 28 cream blush is very emollient, very oil based, like a thinner vaseline. I don't know that you would love them. The cream in the Patrick Ta blush is less greasy and comes in many beautiful shades that are not bright pink.
I’ve had a hot tools version of the amika brush for six or 7 years, and it’s incredible. Perfect for thick, coarse hair. It’s infinitely better than a blow dry brush because you don’t get the tangles. Plus mine is dual voltage so I can take it abroad for work
I love your channel so much! It feels like every video on youtube and tiktok is of people convincing you to buy something new and at least half of the time I fall for it. It’s nice to see someone explain why you don’t need every new product even if it’s raved about.
I love the Patrick Ta blush duos. I have She’s so LA and his blush palettes. The original one is my favorite. I don’t need to buy the new shade because it is similar to She’s A Doll from his blush palette. I agree with you that once it is on your face, the differences are slight. I used to own Persona Bubble, but I didn’t need Patrick Ta She’s A Doll and Persona Bubble.
Hi Kelly, the K18 is amazing it saved my fried hair in 3 treatments.... the Olaplex caused my hair to fall out so much that I was instructed by my Dr. And hairdresser to immediately stop using it. The Olaplex just didn't work for me.
Omg really ? Olaplex did the same to me I thought I was the only one for awhile then alot of people commented to me it did the same to them. I left a comment on someone's IG and the owner of olaplex commented back to me and was so rude and basically said I am poor and bought a fake of Amazon and that's what I get and it doesn't do that her product wouldn't ever do that and all kind of rudeness and I bought the stuff off Sephora online and told her that . I couldn't get over how she acted to me when her product screwed my hair up bad which is already traumatizing. I would never ever purchase another olaplex product ever because of that doesn't matter what kind of product it was.
Seconding this! After dying my hair blonde I went through 2 full bottles of olaplex and couldn’t get the dry straw texture out of my hair and after I went to the salon and she gave me ONE treatment of k18 and my hair was instantly back to normal
@dizzieblonde I think I read that too, also for using something that causes loss of pregnancy or something like that. I should have sued her for it and the way she acted it was so nonprofessional and straight mean !
I did try the Tower 28 Beauty Shine On Lip Jelly Lip Gloss in Pistachio is so comfortable on. The Tower 28 Beauty Beach Please Lip + Cheek Cream Blush in the Hot Pink shade is pretty.
I totally agree with the perfume. Replica by the fireplace.... everyone seems to love it and I can't stand the smell on me. My BFF loves it so I gave her mine.
I love the Tower 28 blush in Office Hours and the gloss in Sesame, (Cool toned girl here). But if you aren't into cream products, they won't be for you. Also, some say they go bad quickly. (I have not had that problem yet.)
Totally agree about the hair thing. When I was teenager I tried so many methods (and bought so many products and tools) to try to curl my straight hair. My hair would either looks insanely frizzy (but not curly) or my hair would just back to normal within an hour. I wasted so much money!
So with you on the body chemistry thing - happens to me all the time! I have a Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe candle that I love (from BHG at Walmart!), and it smells amazing on other people, so I decided to try a well-reviewed fragrance oil dupe from etsy. It's just so blah on me! Maybe I can get my husband to wear it - or I'll just use it as a room scent. And Vanilla Woods from The 7 Virtues? Smells like crappy Bath & Body Works vanilla body spray on me. 🤷♀
I’ve been out of town for a good chunk of the summer and haven’t kept up with social media so you may have already discussed this and I missed it. I bought the Bare Minerals Blonzer because of you and I love it! I’m wondering if you’ve tried and/or discussed their new highlighting blushes already. I’m dying to know your thoughts! Please forgive me if you’ve already mentioned them and I missed it!
I have lots of health issues (mcas, pcos, and eczema) wich cause my skin to be acne prone sensitive and just an issue and the only skin care I use other then Eucerin face & body and is tower 28s line (the spray, serum, and moisturizer) it really helps :)
Patrick Ta's Major Headlines "She's That Girl" blush is beautiful. I bought it and my daughter asked if she could try it. Well, she put it back but kept saying that it was a shame she couldn't have it because it was her perfect shade. I ended up giving it to her and waited a few months to buy another one for myself. Best purchase ever!
Kelly you would love Tower28. Their cream check products - amazing. Their lip glosses - amazing. Their skincare - AMAZING. The SOS spray is ridiculously effective
k18 shampoo is SO drying. i know it’s detoxing, but even when i used it once every other week, my hair felt so damaged. still am olaplex gal for my treat yourself days 💛
You definitely made me go into Sephora to smell the Yum perfume & I am OBSESSED!!! I did try it out on myself thankfully & it’s so good but I’m waiting to buy it until I finish at least one of my perfumes lol
I really like these videos! Definitely helpful to hear how you talk yourself out of things, especially as I'm at a point in my life where I really need to focus on spending money on other things.
K18 doesn't work for everyone, unfortunately. It's too powerful for my sensitive hair so my hair ended up breaking off and became brittle after using it :(
As someone that adores Tower 28, I wouldn't recommend the blushes or the SOS spray as the starting point. The blushes (while super easy to use and in good colors) fade really fast. I have dry skin and they do dry done on me, they just only last about 3 hours. The spray is just fine. It's also really dupable. I used it a lot when we wore mask, but I haven't really found a use since. In terms of anti-bacterial/redness reduce, the Peach Slices Azelaic Acid is way more affect for me (and I think you have that, maybe?). Like everyone else is saying start with the mascara (it so pretty, I still wear despite the fact it slightly flakes on me) or the tinted moisturizer (its my only base product). They're one of the few brands that middle shades are not an orange mess and they expanded the lighter end of the range earlier this year. The other ones I use on the daily is their contour, but that a color thing (yes, its very yellow, but I need that, so I could care less that it fade like no other) and their pencils (but their very different then your NYX favorites and use them on eyes/checks not lips, so keep that in mind). Side note: In terms of longer lasting cream blushes, cloud paints and rare beauty seems to stay a while (some of mine are over 3 years and I have had no problems), I can't see the Tower 28 lasting that long just based on packaging alone.
Hey Kelly! So, in regards to the Tower28 blushes, they're pretty, but reviews I've seen are pretty split about whether or not they fully dry down or not. From what I've seen, people with super dry skin say they dry completely, but people with oily/combo (like Angelica N.) say it stays tacky.. and after trying it myself, I gotta agree. Personally, I hate when my cream products stay tacky and if it makes my hair sticks to my cheeks? 😤 There's no quicker way for a product to get itself decluttered lmao
Ph changing is always going to be the same color and the same color on everyone because we all have the same Ph. What would be cool is if a company added a component, like a base layer, to make a a Ph product become more basic or acidic and change colors according to the component.
what nails are you wearing 🥹 they’re so pretty and my fav color!! i know your description box says glamnetic but it doesn’t say the style. thank you love you kelly!! 🤎
I had a Tower 28 cream blush and.. imho it wasn't all that!! No dry down/stayed kind of sticky on the cheeks, color was more orange than I was expecting (I got Magic Hour bc it was the most neutral -- at the time they only had 3 colors), and I thought it was just OK. I did use it up, but I am not clamoring to buy another one. Also I have a drugstore hypochlorous spray that I love, so I'm not interested in any name brand version. Just my 2 cents! Love your videos, Kelly :)
Perfumes really can be pretty weird! I've had that problem before too, where a perfume smelled great on my friend, but I hated it on myself. Maybe you could try using it as a room spray or a linen spray and see if it smells good that way. I haven't tried any of these products yet, but I've been interested in the Tower 28 blush and the K18. I've heard a lot of great things about K18, but a bunch was from "partners" or sponsored, and I'm not sure if it's truly better than similar less expensive products.
I do struggle with fine hair as well (my hair type is 1A, so it's super straight as well). How did you get your hair to be as wavy and voluminous as you do in the video? Thanks in advance! Great video, as always ❤
I bought the k18. I didn't notice anything fantastic and I have so much hair and it's such a small amount that I got maybe 6 uses and it was really really stretching it out.
Oooh I love both the Tower 28 and the Patrick Ta blushes. They've got some gorgeous colors. I would probably skip the T28 spray. Supposedly there's other similar items out there. The mascara is quite good and they sometimes have sales, so I'd wait for a sale. I refuse to buy anything pH adjusting. I never like how it looks.
I would love to hear someone really break down why perfumes can smell so different on people. It's so weird, i don't understand it at all but i feel like the answer would be fascinating.
I have a Tower 28 lip gloss (Sesame) because it came in a Sephora Favorites set (pretty much the only things I buy from Sephora) and it is really nice though I'm curious to see how long it lasts... I have the mascara to try out when I'm done with my current mascara and I'm really excited to try it! I also got that in a Sephora Favorites set. :)
I really like that lip gloss, but it doesn't last at all on me. I talk a lot for my job, so all glosses wear off sort of quickly, but I don't get 10 minutes out of the Tower 28. It really makes me sad because I love the color.
The k18 is so worth it, I use it a couple times a month and use my olaplex 3 in between. I think having both is worth it but I do bleach and heat style my hair so I need it 😊
I think the marketing for k18 is a little off. It makes it seem like k18 would be great for everyone, but it seems like its best for someone who is regularly bleaching their hair. If i dont dye my hair, I'm not sure it will actually do much bc of my lack of damage from bleach 🤷♀️
I have been impulse purchasing beauty products for for a few months now I can't seem to stop and it's not like drugstore either I made 2 Chantielle purchases this week and I went to Sephora 3 times 😭 I have an issue. I'm so sick of seeing pink blush Everytime I see a new one come out I'm like ahh not another one and now I'm leaning to a nude color blush more beige or peachy and it seems like nudes are hard to find now everywhere I see bright pink .
I keep eying the Rose Inc cream blushes, everytime I go into Sephora I swatch them and love the way they look, but I just haven’t made the purchase yet. Mostly because I like the 2 blushes I have now, why try something new if I’m satisfied? I do like k18 a lot but I think your hair would have to be damaged or weak to get good results with it. I really really like the Elizavecca CER-100 a lot more and it is cheap!! but it’s not vegan (many collagen containing products are not) so Kelly is not going to try it, but there are so many other things that work well. Lamellar waters are nice and affordable. A good leave in conditioner is amazing. A Deep conditioning mask. Any other bond repair stuff…so many other products to get decent results from rathe than one that costs almost $80. All that being said, I like to wash my hair, towel dry my hair, do k18, do a deep conditioner, than regular conditioner. Turn about your can use k18 before a conditioner. Takes a long time but it has made my hair super soft and shiny.
I know what you mean about perfume. I smelled DKNY Be Delicous (the green apple version) out of the bottle and loved it. So I tried it on and walked around for an hour and smelled myself, I smelled like hot garbage!!! Lol! It was the worst! I was so disappointed! I also smelled Armani Code and thought it was a bit floral and powdery for my taste, but tried it on, and it smells amazing on me :-)
Amika has been sold out of that brush for months if not longer. I think they are retiring it in favor of their newest one. I wanted this one for so long because my hair is short and I need a small brush head. Thanks Kelly.
k18 is worth every penny saved my bleached chemical burned hair back to life only needed to buy 1 bottle olapex is completly different then this, i used both once it repaired i now just use olaplex one a month. dont think you need it unless you have very damaged hair
The pH shifting products remind me of mood rings. Except with mood rings I was mostly dead (black). Tower28 shouldn’t be slept on. Try the mascara and the tinted sunscreen first. Fragrance really is a personal choice. It is so dependent on your body chemistry. I can’t with any of the Kayali fragrances. They smell too artificial and too sweet on me. The only one I liked on me was the burnt sugar one. It was too sweet to buy on principle. I don’t do ScentBird but that might be your best path moving forward. It allows you to sample and wear a scent intensely before you commit.
You don’t need that hair tool cause whatever you did with your hair today is 🔥
I needed that reminder about not buying something when I already have another product serving the purpose.

I'll have to look for a cheaper option, because that spray is so good for my red, sensitive skin.
I ordered a liter of hypochlorous acid from briotech and I refill spray bottles for myself and gift them to friends. I love it for cleansing tattoos on the go a well
I'm a mascara snob and I loooove the Tower 28 mascara too!
@@lelalu101 I have the Briotech as well. The same thing at a fraction of the cost!
I needed to hear this today!!! I’m so easily influenced and such a sucker for makeup and beauty. Lord knows, I don’t need ANYTHING new!!
I am the same and trying very hard to break the habit that is a waste of $$ for me. It helps to view videos like this.
I’ve wasted so much money on beauty 🤦🏻♀️ It’s exciting to make a new purchase but the newness and excitement wears off almost instantly and then it’s on to the next shiny thing. A vicious cycle. Just think about how much money you’ll save if you don’t cave in though.

I’m the same way about the noise from my hair dryer. I tried using my Loop earplugs and was able to dry my whole head. Game changing!

Ditto! Saved my hair after a horrible bleach accident
I'm planning to try it but daaamn it's expensive!
Yeah I agree! My hairdresser recommended it for my bleached and dyed waist length hair. It has really helped my hair stay healthy! I still get split ends, but definitely not as many as I used to! The price is eye watering though 🥴
Her hair looks INCREDIBLY healthy though so I doubt it will be much different than Olaplex for her.
agree. K18 saved my hair.
Yes, This is the type of content I need! All of what you said is so true and with all the over consumption it’s nice to hear a different vibe ❤
I have a wish list of products im interest on and my goal is buy them on sale (sephora vip sale o black friday)… thats help me to avoid impulsive purchase
I completely get the noise issue, it's not just you.
Misophonia, maybe?

Wait
You go to the store
Try it on
Go on with the rest of the day
And purchase it the next day?
THATS GENIUS!
THANK YOU SO MUCH
I totally understand your hate for the blowdryer sound (or similar sounds like fans and the vacuum). I would love for silent versions.
Same it's so loud I don't know why quiet hair tools isn't a thing.
When using that hair tool you’d need to lift the hair just like the hairdresser does with a round brush and hair dryer. A root lift product would be good. I do think this barrel would work best on mid length to chin length hair. Xx
I love the tower28 blushes. I have super dry and acne prone skin and that’s the only cream blush that won’t break me out!
Yes about perfumes! The Fall Cashmere scent smells sour on my skin. It was such a bummer, because on paper it sounded great.
I gotta tell you. That K18 mask has no equal. It repairs your hair from the inside, not the surface. It's so good that you can't even use it too frequently.

I left a comment on someone's IG and the owner of olaplex commented back to me and was so rude and basically said I am poor and bought a fake of Amazon and that's what I get and it doesn't do that her product wouldn't ever do that and all kind of rudeness and I bought the stuff off Sephora online and told her that . I couldn't get over how she acted to me when her product screwed my hair up bad which is already traumatizing. I would never ever purchase another olaplex product ever because of that doesn't matter what kind of product it was.
Seconding this! After dying my hair blonde I went through 2 full bottles of olaplex and couldn’t get the dry straw texture out of my hair and after I went to the salon and she gave me ONE treatment of k18 and my hair was instantly back to normal
@dizzieblonde I think I read that too, also for using something that causes loss of pregnancy or something like that. I should have sued her for it and the way she acted it was so nonprofessional and straight mean !
@heathersargent289 wouldn't it be nice if Amazon sued her????
@@heatherlill3509 😂 yes!!
I did try the Tower 28 Beauty Shine On Lip Jelly Lip Gloss in Pistachio is so comfortable on. The Tower 28 Beauty Beach Please Lip + Cheek Cream Blush in the Hot Pink shade is pretty.
I had one if the brush curling irons in the 70’s
I totally agree with the perfume. Replica by the fireplace.... everyone seems to love it and I can't stand the smell on me. My BFF loves it so I gave her mine.
I love the Tower 28 blush in Office Hours and the gloss in Sesame, (Cool toned girl here). But if you aren't into cream products, they won't be for you. Also, some say they go bad quickly. (I have not had that problem yet.)
Girl you neeeed the thermal brush. I own a dupe off Amazon and it’s amazing ❤❤❤😊
Totally agree about the hair thing. When I was teenager I tried so many methods (and bought so many products and tools) to try to curl my straight hair. My hair would either looks insanely frizzy (but not curly) or my hair would just back to normal within an hour. I wasted so much money!
same
I highly recommend getting Loop earplugs if you are sound sensitive like me! I wear them when I grind coffee, run fans, blow dry, on planes, etc
Your hair is gorgeous!!! 💛🌻
So with you on the body chemistry thing - happens to me all the time! I have a Baccarat Rouge 540 dupe candle that I love (from BHG at Walmart!), and it smells amazing on other people, so I decided to try a well-reviewed fragrance oil dupe from etsy. It's just so blah on me! Maybe I can get my husband to wear it - or I'll just use it as a room scent. And Vanilla Woods from The 7 Virtues? Smells like crappy Bath & Body Works vanilla body spray on me. 🤷♀
It’s so funny how that works! Vanilla Woods is my FAVORITE
The Patrick Ta cream\powder blushes have been my favorite for the last year!
I’ve been out of town for a good chunk of the summer and haven’t kept up with social media so you may have already discussed this and I missed it. I bought the Bare Minerals Blonzer because of you and I love it! I’m wondering if you’ve tried and/or discussed their new highlighting blushes already. I’m dying to know your thoughts! Please forgive me if you’ve already mentioned them and I missed it!
Patrick Ta blush duos are my favorite! She’s that girl and she’s so LA are my favorite! Fair/light skin. 😊
I have lots of health issues (mcas, pcos, and eczema) wich cause my skin to be acne prone sensitive and just an issue and the only skin care I use other then Eucerin face & body and is tower 28s line (the spray, serum, and moisturizer) it really helps :)
Patrick Ta's Major Headlines "She's That Girl" blush is beautiful. I bought it and my daughter asked if she could try it. Well, she put it back but kept saying that it was a shame she couldn't have it because it was her perfect shade. I ended up giving it to her and waited a few months to buy another one for myself. Best purchase ever!
Kelly you would love Tower28. Their cream check products - amazing. Their lip glosses - amazing. Their skincare - AMAZING. The SOS spray is ridiculously effective
k18 shampoo is SO drying. i know it’s detoxing, but even when i used it once every other week, my hair felt so damaged. still am olaplex gal for my treat yourself days 💛
Kelly this hair is GIVING 🙌🙌
Thank you! I just dyed it!
I’ve been liking how the coconut perfume sells from them been wanting it for a while
Ooo, I am the same with a white noise fan sound. It makes me feel restless, I can't explain it. Airplane vents are the worst.
The thermal brush is so funny to me, because my mom still uses one of those! It’s so 90s
You definitely made me go into Sephora to smell the Yum perfume & I am OBSESSED!!! I did try it out on myself thankfully & it’s so good but I’m waiting to buy it until I finish at least one of my perfumes lol
I really like these videos! Definitely helpful to hear how you talk yourself out of things, especially as I'm at a point in my life where I really need to focus on spending money on other things.
K18 doesn't work for everyone, unfortunately. It's too powerful for my sensitive hair so my hair ended up breaking off and became brittle after using it :(
As someone that adores Tower 28, I wouldn't recommend the blushes or the SOS spray as the starting point. The blushes (while super easy to use and in good colors) fade really fast. I have dry skin and they do dry done on me, they just only last about 3 hours. The spray is just fine. It's also really dupable. I used it a lot when we wore mask, but I haven't really found a use since. In terms of anti-bacterial/redness reduce, the Peach Slices Azelaic Acid is way more affect for me (and I think you have that, maybe?).
Like everyone else is saying start with the mascara (it so pretty, I still wear despite the fact it slightly flakes on me) or the tinted moisturizer (its my only base product). They're one of the few brands that middle shades are not an orange mess and they expanded the lighter end of the range earlier this year.
The other ones I use on the daily is their contour, but that a color thing (yes, its very yellow, but I need that, so I could care less that it fade like no other) and their pencils (but their very different then your NYX favorites and use them on eyes/checks not lips, so keep that in mind).
Side note: In terms of longer lasting cream blushes, cloud paints and rare beauty seems to stay a while (some of mine are over 3 years and I have had no problems), I can't see the Tower 28 lasting that long just based on packaging alone.
Hey Kelly! So, in regards to the Tower28 blushes, they're pretty, but reviews I've seen are pretty split about whether or not they fully dry down or not. From what I've seen, people with super dry skin say they dry completely, but people with oily/combo (like Angelica N.) say it stays tacky.. and after trying it myself, I gotta agree. Personally, I hate when my cream products stay tacky and if it makes my hair sticks to my cheeks? 😤 There's no quicker way for a product to get itself decluttered lmao
Ph changing is always going to be the same color and the same color on everyone because we all have the same Ph. What would be cool is if a company added a component, like a base layer, to make a a Ph product become more basic or acidic and change colors according to the component.
what nails are you wearing 🥹 they’re so pretty and my fav color!! i know your description box says glamnetic but it doesn’t say the style. thank you love you kelly!! 🤎
Oh thanks for giving me a new makeup girl to follow 😅I went and followed Amanda z
I had a Tower 28 cream blush and.. imho it wasn't all that!! No dry down/stayed kind of sticky on the cheeks, color was more orange than I was expecting (I got Magic Hour bc it was the most neutral -- at the time they only had 3 colors), and I thought it was just OK. I did use it up, but I am not clamoring to buy another one. Also I have a drugstore hypochlorous spray that I love, so I'm not interested in any name brand version. Just my 2 cents! Love your videos, Kelly :)
Good morning, have a great week 😀
Good morning, you too!
Perfumes really can be pretty weird! I've had that problem before too, where a perfume smelled great on my friend, but I hated it on myself. Maybe you could try using it as a room spray or a linen spray and see if it smells good that way. I haven't tried any of these products yet, but I've been interested in the Tower 28 blush and the K18. I've heard a lot of great things about K18, but a bunch was from "partners" or sponsored, and I'm not sure if it's truly better than similar less expensive products.
I do struggle with fine hair as well (my hair type is 1A, so it's super straight as well). How did you get your hair to be as wavy and voluminous as you do in the video? Thanks in advance! Great video, as always ❤
I bought the k18. I didn't notice anything fantastic and I have so much hair and it's such a small amount that I got maybe 6 uses and it was really really stretching it out.
k18 also did nothing for my bleached, thick, curly hair.
Oooh I love both the Tower 28 and the Patrick Ta blushes. They've got some gorgeous colors. I would probably skip the T28 spray. Supposedly there's other similar items out there. The mascara is quite good and they sometimes have sales, so I'd wait for a sale. I refuse to buy anything pH adjusting. I never like how it looks.
I think you’d really enjoy their tinted sunscreen, I’ve gone through one since I first purchased in December and I’m on my second one. So good
i’m also sensitive to sounds, so whenever i dry my hair etc, i put my airpods in and listen to music, a podcast or a youtube video 🥰
Your hair is amazing todqy
The Shark Flexstyle thing is appealing to me, but at the same time, I don’t NEED it. Lol Especially for $350, ha!
😂😂 I feel the same way about the sounds
I would love to hear someone really break down why perfumes can smell so different on people. It's so weird, i don't understand it at all but i feel like the answer would be fascinating.
I'm going to say something blasphemous lol. I splurged and got the Tower 28 mascara. It's not worth the $$$. I'll stick to drugstore
Yes I prefer the silence too
I hated cream blush until I tried the Tower 28 blush. I love it, it lasts all day on my “mature” skin.
I have a Tower 28 lip gloss (Sesame) because it came in a Sephora Favorites set (pretty much the only things I buy from Sephora) and it is really nice though I'm curious to see how long it lasts... I have the mascara to try out when I'm done with my current mascara and I'm really excited to try it! I also got that in a Sephora Favorites set. :)
I really like that lip gloss, but it doesn't last at all on me. I talk a lot for my job, so all glosses wear off sort of quickly, but I don't get 10 minutes out of the Tower 28. It really makes me sad because I love the color.
Thank you, Kelly. This was a very useful video!
I love the Kayali perfume. It even leaves my clothes smelling yummy!
Agree 💯 about the blush
The k18 is so worth it, I use it a couple times a month and use my olaplex 3 in between. I think having both is worth it but I do bleach and heat style my hair so I need it 😊
I really like the sound spray and mascara from tower 28 but they're the only things I've tried from the brand lol.
The Commodity Milk feels kind of similar to the Yummy Pistaxhio. And you can get it in different intensities. You may like that instead.
I think the marketing for k18 is a little off. It makes it seem like k18 would be great for everyone, but it seems like its best for someone who is regularly bleaching their hair. If i dont dye my hair, I'm not sure it will actually do much bc of my lack of damage from bleach 🤷♀️
Is it bad that I watched this and my takeaway was that I’m now fixated on the Amika curl brush and want to test it on my channel? 😬
I have been impulse purchasing beauty products for for a few months now I can't seem to stop and it's not like drugstore either I made 2 Chantielle purchases this week and I went to Sephora 3 times 😭 I have an issue. I'm so sick of seeing pink blush Everytime I see a new one come out I'm like ahh not another one and now I'm leaning to a nude color blush more beige or peachy and it seems like nudes are hard to find now everywhere I see bright pink .
I keep eying the Rose Inc cream blushes, everytime I go into Sephora I swatch them and love the way they look, but I just haven’t made the purchase yet. Mostly because I like the 2 blushes I have now, why try something new if I’m satisfied?
I do like k18 a lot but I think your hair would have to be damaged or weak to get good results with it. I really really like the Elizavecca CER-100 a lot more and it is cheap!! but it’s not vegan (many collagen containing products are not) so Kelly is not going to try it, but there are so many other things that work well. Lamellar waters are nice and affordable. A good leave in conditioner is amazing. A Deep conditioning mask. Any other bond repair stuff…so many other products to get decent results from rathe than one that costs almost $80.
All that being said, I like to wash my hair, towel dry my hair, do k18, do a deep conditioner, than regular conditioner. Turn about your can use k18 before a conditioner. Takes a long time but it has made my hair super soft and shiny.
I know what you mean about perfume. I smelled DKNY Be Delicous (the green apple version) out of the bottle and loved it. So I tried it on and walked around for an hour and smelled myself, I smelled like hot garbage!!! Lol! It was the worst! I was so disappointed! I also smelled Armani Code and thought it was a bit floral and powdery for my taste, but tried it on, and it smells amazing on me :-)
I think you have the most beautiful hair in the world
Amika has been sold out of that brush for months if not longer. I think they are retiring it in favor of their newest one. I wanted this one for so long because my hair is short and I need a small brush head. Thanks Kelly.
10/10 would recommend thermal brushes in general
I tried the blush reversal with nars orgasam, I had a mini cream. And the original powder. It's beautiful, I've worn several times.
K18 is a game changer
k18 is worth every penny saved my bleached chemical burned hair back to life only needed to buy 1 bottle olapex is completly different then this, i used both once it repaired i now just use olaplex one a month. dont think you need it unless you have very damaged hair
If you try anything from Tower 28, it should be either the skin tint or lip liner
My daughter has the same same exact hair color as Amanda Z but long and curly. I’m always playing in her hair, practicing braids and she is 30 😂
What if you spray the perfume on your clothes instead of your skin? Would that help?
Random question-since u are a Glue on Nail Queen. Once you take them Off, What is the best way to remove the glue residue from your natural nails?
The pH shifting products remind me of mood rings. Except with mood rings I was mostly dead (black).
Tower28 shouldn’t be slept on. Try the mascara and the tinted sunscreen first.
Fragrance really is a personal choice. It is so dependent on your body chemistry. I can’t with any of the Kayali fragrances. They smell too artificial and too sweet on me. The only one I liked on me was the burnt sugar one. It was too sweet to buy on principle. I don’t do ScentBird but that might be your best path moving forward. It allows you to sample and wear a scent intensely before you commit.
I have super damaged bleached hair, k18 hasn't done anything for me
Maybe you should try to spray the perfume on your clothes for a different result!!! 😊
