*UPDATE* after filming I looked up the Tower 28 glosses and I was right, “Oat” has COMPLETELY changed color from a very pale pink to a kind of sickly orange peach. This is what it used to look like: shop-links.co/cfIEZqYvZH0 Given that something questionable has happened inside both tubes of this gloss since I purchased them AT THE END OF MARCH a mere six months ago, I’ve decided to declutter both of them. It sucks because I really like Tower28 as a brand, and I really like the gloss formula (the clear glitter gloss “Magic” is actually almost completely used up). I’m not above giving the brand more chances in the future. But I don’t want to put these funky glosses on my lips anymore, especially since I have so many other less concerning options. Thank you for watching!
It’s probably because the brand is ‘clean’. There’s a lot of preservatives they have on their ‘no-no list’, which makes me think the glosses are simply not designed to last. One of the downsides of ‘clean’ beauty - if I put an avocado in a bottle, it’s going to go bad WAY quicker than if I put an avocado and preservatives in a bottle haha.
I think the clean beauty definitely is a the type that you can't just have for years. If you are a beauty collector and you're not actively always using those lip glosses it makes sense for them to eventually turn. The shelflife is probably not very long. I wouldn't be surprised if the expiration date is something like six months. I've never experienced this with the products but I have panned almost all of my tower 28 glosses in six months or less.
Can I tell you how much I love that you leave these videos almost uncut? There is something so satisfying about watching you arrange things against those beautiful backdrops.
I must confess I kinda dig the pale coral 60's/70's shade Tower 28's Oat became, but I would not have kept it either knowing it started as a pale pink color, definetely something funky going on! This made me miss being able to go out maskless with my lip glosses on 💗
"Gurl look how effin orange you look gurl." I hollered! We stan Alyssa Edwards. As a side note - Can we get a nail polish collection tour? That Static Nails polish is beautiful.
Alyssa 4-ever :) and I do think I should make some kind of nail polish content soon, given that my collection is ENTIRELY new. Like a year or two ago I owned zero nail polishes. It's a thing
This is so great and all, but I can’t continue my day until you tell me where this table’s from. Because that beauty will be haunting me. I. Must. Know. 🙏🏻 I actually love watching declutters. It encourages me to do the same and keep things more minimal!
@@HannahLouisePoston honestly, very impressed. The ingenuity of youtubers will never cease to amaze. Just the other day, Allana Davison put a top against her body for a video and I didn’t pick up on it until she pointed it out.

The Tower 28 glosses can’t be left In Light or they start to turn color. I worked at Sephora and we constantly had to make new testers every month for these because the color would change pretty easily.
My Tower28 lip glosses have changed color too :( I have Magic and it used to be a very clear gloss with some gold flecks, but after a few months it turned REALLY yellow (like light neon yellow). I'm not sure if it's an ingredient in the formula that degraded or what, but the scents are not off and the other glosses I have (Fire and Almond) both look and feel the same as before. I think the color change is probably more noticeable in the lighter-colored glosses too.
I’m a new subscriber and I wanted to say your decluttering and no buy year videos (from 2018) have been helping me so much and I appreciate your content and attitude toward beauty!! Best wishes! ✨✨
The tower 28 glosses go off so quickly. I bought the shade “fire” just in 2020, and it already smells weird. I’ve also seen other people do declutters and they have noticed their tower 28 glosses have gone bad also
I feel oddly comforted by this, somehow. Like maybe it has fewer preservatives or something. I'm saying this without having read the ingredients, I could be way off.
Yup. I checked because I ordered my tower 28 gloss in November 2020 and I noticed last month that it was starting to go off so I panned the rest of it quickly. Which has made me very aware of my other glosses that are “clean” beauty and am actively panning those as well.
I have a huge impending declutter that I've been dreading, but watching this lip declutter mini-series is giving me courage. I want to feel lighter too!
about the tower28 glosses, I have ones i purchased 2 years ago that are still good, but I've seen more people that purchased them more recently have them go off incredibly quickly. seeing that has reminded me just how fast lip products may randomly go bad and has deterred me from purchasing more, which my wallet is happy about!
oh wow good to know about the tower 28! i panned all of my lip glosses recently and when i was researching which formula to replace them with i was pretty much set on tower 28 glosses. what kept me from buying them was people saying they go bad super quickly because there’s less preservatives in them… and i don’t use up makeup quickly enough if i’m not actively panning it. so glad i skipped them
Completely unrelated but I just finished listening to My Cousin Rachel and you're the only being that can offer me any sense of solace 😂 so on with the gloss declutter! I only have 5 glosses/ lipsticks total I believe and that's come a long way. I used to probably have over 100 or more! Glad I realized what I actually liked and stopped watching mainstream channels years ago.
Oh god that Tower 28 one looked gross. So glad that you provided an update about getting rid of it! Even before you started talking about it I was looking at it in the lineup like what is going on there? It's been cool seeing you be a little more hard on your lip product collection, I feel like it usually passes through declutters relatively unscathed, so I'm glad you're getting rid of stuff that isn't serving you anymore. And do I even have to mention the ticky-clicky heaven that was putting the lipsticks away at the beginning
I was just watching your lipstick video over the week-end and when I reached for a lipstick this morning it was definitely turned. I think the pandemic just has me not wearing as much lipstick and so many of them haven't even been opened in like 2 years.
i've been avoiding clean beauty products because i'm still too new to makeup as a hobby to understand if it's feasible for me to pan something before it expires... seeing those tower 28 glosses makes me think that's been a good policy :'( when i bought some lipsticks from rom&nd, they came with little stickers where you could record the date you first opened them & i thought that was really thoughtful.
That same thing happened to my Oat gloss as well! I kind of figured it would as when I went back to Sephora once the stores reopened, all the Tower 28 display glosses had changed colours. Apparently it’s a reaction to the light :(
This nail colour is sooooooo on the money for me, especially when you were talking about the lip liners!! I’m waiting for this nail polish journey video, Hannah!
i own a grand total of 5 lipglosses and I enjoy all of them, my favourite is fenty glow. I'm considering picking up the Revlon gloss in the shade fatal apple
after watching Hannahs update in recent videos on the tower 28 gloss i went to my clear tower 28 gloss in chill that had about an 8th of it left… the doe foot was a blue grey!
Thank You for this! I have a couple of gloss type products that are kind of old but I love them so... But when I really think about the fact that one basically sticks the applicator INTO one's mouth and then back into the product I get really skeezed out and now they MUST go. That leaves me with only one such product (fresh) and I can live with that - for now.
Your collection is inspiring as always Hannah!! I've really fallen out of love with lip gloss, I love the sheeny goodness but since having a break over covid I can't deal with how sticky they are 🙃 I think lip oils + the glossier Ultralip have really filled that hole in my makeup bag for me
I agree Oat looks weird. I have found that colors will change or pigments break down if I have had lip products for a bit even if they still smell fine.
I’m really sad about the tower 28 glosses as I purchased two this year as well so that sucks to hear they may go bad soon..I also love the brand but I hate the waste. I’ll keep an eye on them though. Great video, I love gloss but I put myself on a no buy for gloss 😂
I just bought a Lancôme Rouge Absolut lipstick at Macy’s in hopes I’ll get to wear it WITHOUT a mask covering it. That’s part of the reason I stick to the drugstore when it comes to color lip products. The other reason is that lipstick doesn’t last long on me anyway.
I never think about how old my makeup is, it never occurs to me. But I remember buying some of my glosses back when you could just walk freely into any store without a care in the world….and that was 2 to 3 years ago, so yikes, some of my glosses are very old.
Wonderful video, Hannah! So strange about the Tower 28 glosses. Has the Flower Beauty gloss done the same thing? If my memory is correct, those two glosses are often compared.
@@HannahLouisePoston Oh! That’s good to know. I’m a gloss gal and has thought about splashing out on Tower 28. I’ll just stick with Flower if and when my heart yearns for a new gloss.
Hey Hannah, off topic but I remember you mentioning that you have been trying Lights Lacquer Nail Polish. I just got my first order. Would you do a review? I like what I got so far, day 1 of using them I'm impressed ❤️
Have you done a review of the kaja glosses yet? If not, I’d love to see one! Sorry if you already have and I missed it :/ I’ve had the merit lip oil and persona glosses on my wishlist for a while now because of you haha 💕
I tried that Lancôme natural mauve because it looked so pretty and natural on you and we have similar pale skin tones. Alas…it looked like dead body on me. ☹️
So weird about the Oat Tower 28 gloss. I have coconut, cashew and chill, all longer than 6 months, and thankfully none of mine have turned. Keep us posted if you find out any new info! They have to have a preservative too; otherwise they would go rancid very fast.
Hot chocolit by fenty is my favourite gloss and even though I own 5 glosses I almost exclusively use that one haha Tells me what I should repurchase and not!
I tried to get into gloss, but it is logistically challenging. I have to ask…how do you wear gloss without getting your hair stuck to your lip every 3 seconds?
@@HannahLouisePoston Ah , such a great choice. Gucci kills it lately with their colors, packaging, shade names. This one looks so lovely, it suits you so well.
Hannah!! Why are your videos so addictive and amazing?! I have to say though, I did not know that the Tower 28 glosses are only good for six months. Really good info to have as I bought one in early September, so I'll focus on using it up before my Oat turns a sickly peach hahaha. Thanks so much for all your videos. Love you!
@@HannahLouisePoston as someone who grew up around a lot of adults who I wasn’t actually related to, personally I’ve found those relationships to be equally as special if not more so to my bio family

Great to know. Something is oxidizing in these glosses and that isn’t a good thing.
Thanks for addressing this issue with these glosses specifically. It seems odd that i dont hear peeps talking about it. So odd!

I have one lipgloss. I'm in no hurry to buy another. I use a nude liquid lipstick most of the time instead.
I have Oat from Tower 28 and mine also turned that strange orangey peach color. I wonder why that is and/or if they'll ever address it?
I just used the last of one of the oldest lipglosses in my collection. This video’s timing is just right for me
