Thank you, thank you, Lexi! You are my favourite luxury makeup reviewer! I appreciate all the work you put into your content. All the best for the New Year!
Hi Lexi, happy holidays to you and your family and of course Sadie who steals the show while stealing your besuty products and nail polish, haha. The notes are being taken but I can't write or type fast enough lol bc you are such a pro at keeping it moving while imparting maximum detail. Thank you for all you've done every day and year since the inception of your channel. You are a testament to what hard work, honesty, and a detailed unbiased review truly is. Appreciate you! ❤❤
Hi dear Lexi, love your hair, it's so beautiful!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩Wow, what a list, really a Lexi list, everything so well thought out, so detailed, such a beautiful video you made for us, thanks so much!!!! 👏👏👏👏Here? Wow, late, after 2 Christmas days, what first comes in my mind: the Makuep by Mario Master Mattes in Neutral, i just love that palette soooooo much!!! Combine it with every shimmer i have, single, or in a palette, i love that matte palette!!! And i love your powder, the powder you talked about, the Cle de Peau pressed powder! But i almost love everything they make, love their primer, their foundation in the dark blue tube, their loose powder as well. I used this CDP foundation and the Chanel Sublimage the most. Not anything new maybe, well, the mattes by MbM. What i also loved again, not new, i believe, smash the Sequin green eyeliner over my entire mobile lid from VB, and/or combined with her Velvet single shadow, love these. Blush, i still have to much, but what do i really use, the new Chantecaille ones from this year with nice shimmer, and for a real cool toned one, still the Chantecaille from 2 Christmasses ago, in the pearl packaging, that cool toned blush, Lexi, i'm glad i have a back up, also from that highlighter. Bronzer, love more, but most used, Tom Ford Terra! Finishing powder: Hourglass! Eclat de Nuit eyeshadow quad from Chanel, love that one here too!!! Further, simple combinations, like smashing the VB eyewear in Maccaron on my entire mobile lid, and than a shimmer on top, the one from Babylone Roses (YSL), or one from Hourglass or Urban Decay. And Bobbi Brown has to come back with that Periwinkle eyeshadow stick!!! Tom Ford/Chanel type of eyeliners, super, but my eyes get more sensitive, loved most from the new ones, the Yves Saint Laurent liners, i listened to you! Lips: always a light coloured gloss, mostly PMG or another one. Lipbalm, loved the Clarins, but that was already launched a year earlier. Addicted to skincare sort of lipbalms, like the one from Summer Fridays! And Barbara Sturm has such a good one, in a jar, but soooo soft!!! Gonna sleep, hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!!🎄❤
I'm so glad you love that palette! I have always been tempted by that one. That Chantecaille blush was a great one! I'd love to see more in that formula. Great products Annemarie and Happy New Year!!
@@LexiJong i'm addicted to that MbM matte palette! Yes, Chantecaille makes mostly gorgeous blushes, and so easy! Thanks so much, happy 2025 for you and your loved ones too!!!🎉🥂❤
Oh thanks for the tip to how to recreate that Chanel primer - it seems everyone loves it but I can’t figure out what makes it special/unique - when you mixed the Dior w a moisturizing primer, now I finally get it - ….so it seems like the subtle shine and color/tone AND it’s moisturizing - I can definitely recreate that! Love your reviews and tips! 😊
Lexi, thank you for going through the best of 2024! The year went by so quick and there were so many great products I couldn’t keep up. Your reviews, swatches, updates on sales & what’s to come are invaluable and made 2024 so much fun. I learned about some new products and always learning about brushes from you. I look forward to seeing you & your videos in 2025! Happy New Year! Wishing you & your family & Sadie health & happiness in 2025!! 😊🎉
Thank you for the favorites video! I’m so thankful for you. You have given me so many new recommendations for products to try. Happiest holidays to you and your family. Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year! ❤
Thank yousomuch fora wonderful short but full to the point video. Thank you really! I wish you a wonderful holiday. I sm hoping to become a makeup artist. I wish I lived close to you and test some of your makeup.
I haven’t tried the new Chanel powder blushes (I do have one of the cream to powder), but maybe I should. Totally agree about Mineralscapes and Eclat du Nuit. Two of my favorites.
I think the new blushes are better than the previous ones but still not as great as the original so there is no rush to try them yet but definitely a brand to keep in mind when you are in the market for a new blush. Although I think CdP will have new blushes (maybe september) this year but I have been told they are not being reformulated so maybe I'm wrong.
Lexi you do such a fabulous job! I love your picks. I wrote down a few things to look to pick up. Looking forward to 2025 and all your reviews. Thanks again!
There were indeed some beautiful brushes this year. I wonder if I should risk a heart attack by adding up how much I spent on them this year?🤔🤣 Next year I really should rein it in a bit. Ooh and I absolutely LOVE your nail polish today!!!
Lol, if you add them up, just average it with 2025 because I really think 2024 was a splurge year for many of us. I'm planning on spending less on brushes.
@ that’s a good way of thinking about it lol. And with all the beautiful brushes released this year, I think my favourite purchase was getting the Chikihodo KZ series (minus KZ-01 😢) from someone. I was thinking of getting customs done with red squirrel, and got one with the same measurements as the KZ-03, and now I actually have the KZ series to compare they are nothing alike. The Kazan squirrel just behaves differently. So I’m pleased to not go down the custom route with that series. But I may have to put my feelers out and see if anyone has a KZ-01 they would part with. In your videos especially you really demonstrate how great it is!
Thanks Lexi for a great year covering a wide breadth of luxury makeup and brushes! You do the most detailed and helpful product comparisons - just the best. I wanted to share that I recently tried Cle’ de Peau mascara and it’s my new favorite. It’s a perfect curved brush and easy to use formula. No clumps. Great video, as always!
Thanks so much Lexi for all your hard work this year (and in previous years) reviewing all the newest and hottest makeup! You’ve saved me so much money on seemingly neutral but actually warm makeup, but you’ve also enabled me to spend so much money on the good stuff 😂😂😂 happy holidays!
This was a fantastic brush year. I would add a few new favourite eye brushes as well. I bought a lot of Tanseido and Bisyodo Kolinsky eye brushes. I also love the Nikki LaRose N17 for liquid and cream foundations. Thank you for all the work you’ve done. Your reviews of luxury makeup are amazing.
Thank you so much Catherine! I would love to try more kolinsky eye brushes this year. That was something new to me this year and I understand the hype!
Happy new year, Lexi! Your channel style and format is the best there is. I’m pretty thorough but never succinct but you’ve mastered the art of being both. Appreciate you!
Hi Lexi! Thank you so much for this thorough roundup of favourites for 2024! Very glad to see that many of the items I purchased in 2024 - based on your reviews - are listed here. I intend to do some end-of-year shopping and get some of the ones I missed (and are available for shipping to Canada). I trust you and your entire family are having a great holiday season. Xs&Os
Thanks so much, this is a great video. I'm a new subscriber, my in-laws went to Japan and brought me back some Addiction blushes and shadows that I'm unfortunately now obsessed with so I was searching for swatch videos and found you. I love fude as well, you have some really nice smaller cheek brushes in this video, which are my weakness. Love the Chikuhodo Ren series as well! I've been going back and forth on that Sarah Creal lip primer. I've been really enjoying the concealer and the lipsticks but not sure if I'd use it. I'm 41 and definitely appreciate their formulas and what they're going for as a brand so I'm sure I'll cave eventually. Tom Ford has very impressive eyeliner formulas...I have that double ended liquid liner and I'm embarrassed by how old it is...like, years. I just don't wear liquid liner that much but it's the best I've tried and at this point I'm just curious to see how long it'll keep going for. And it's still BLACK black and not dry at all! And oh man, that Chanel primer looks lush, bummed I missed out on those!
My favorite concealer has been the VB and it ran out on me in the middle of doing my undereyes I was so annoyed it didnt give any notice and no window. I really think they need to add something like a window so u can tell when ur running low and I was not expecting it , it's only been 3 months. Lisa Eldridge Skintint was another favorite Love that the LE lipliners 1n 2n , Eadame balms. Hourglass liquid blush in moment , Dior bronze glow blush, Givenchy 9.12 pallet . All my other favs are not released this year. I really haven't tried much new makeup this year atleast they didn't make favorite everyday makeup . I didn't even make rouge yet I still have to spend like 300$ to make it and that's crazy to I usually am always rouge before summer even comes. I have bought stuff from other places besides Sephora as well and lots of skincare. Their is still stuff on my list to try that u have on your list. Have u tried the Ami Cole blush sticks yet ? I love that dune shade and the formula is really nice, I'm surprised it's only like 22$ it didn't come out this year but I bought it a few weeks ago during a sale . Trying to be more picky about what I purchase . I bought like 3 TF quads this year not 1 made a favorite that's alot to spend on something you never use lol. I did really get into SG brushes and rephr this year and spent a lot on SG. Influenced by u ..LoL . Great favs Lexi . Hope u and your family had an amazing Xmas and Santa paws came to see Sadie.
Wow! There should definitely be some sort of indicator because I would not have expected it to run out so quickly. The CdP doesn't have an indicator but it lasts so long that you kind of know it's got to be running out soon, lol. I haven't tried Ami Cole yet. They are on my list though. I have a few new to me brands coming soon. I'm glad you are enjoying the brushes Heather and Happy Holidays to you too!
I’ve been using Laura Geller blushes the most lately, and the new Lancôme lippies. And, eyeshadows have been mostly Tarte because they smell like vanilla. Oh, and Too Faced bronzer because that smells like chocolate lol…
I really like the Laura Geller blushes and the new Lancome lipsticks are awesome. I need to get more shades! You definitely sound like you are into the foody scents right now, lol.
Wait, what about the Prada lipsticks? I bought two (the result of your recommendation) and LOVED them. They remind me a bit of the Violetta bisou (sp?). But the Prada lipsticks didn’t make it to your top of the year? Also, what are your thoughts about the Chanel lip in Boy? My coloring is similar to your, would that be too warm? Lastly, in a face off between Chanel bring talpa and CD brown mitzah, what do you think? Apples and oranges?
Hi Lexi!! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas! 🎄 I love all your top choices for the year. This was actually a good year for so many things. I particularly liked all of Dior’s and Chanel’s new products they brought from the beginning of the year all the way to the teasers for 2025. Thank you for all your reviews and hard work you put in this last year! You truly acted as a guide to all things beauty that debuted. I hope you and your family have a wonderful start to your new year and I look forward to all the new exciting things coming out in 2025 and you will continue to be one of my trusted go to guru! 🎄🎄🥰🥰🫶🏻🫶🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Your attention to detail is a gift for us. Your comparisons are like no other.
Thank you, Lexi, for your sublime work! ✨✨✨
Lexi - Thank you for everything you do. Truly reliable and sincere. Hugs, Angela

New hair. You look gorgeous 💞
Thank you, Lexi, for this video; I appreciate this format and your dedicated hard work this year. I hope your daughters are feeling better. ❤

Thanks Lexi. Hope you had a nice Christmas.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Lexi!

Great video Lexi. Respect your opinion so much.
I will never forget that Chanel palette with the greenish color in it, I chased it everywhere and will be my biggest make up regret now purchasing it.
Oh I'm so sorry to hear that!
I love the Sarah Creal lip balm, the best I have found
It's amazing!
Loved discovering your vids this year! Sad I missed out on this Byredo pallet but looking forward to some new releases from them x
Thank you! I hope they have a new one coming soon!
