[@mr.daytonameth3296]

the fact that she really released the album of the year

[@Aliraxesc]

keep streaming brat guys 💚

[@sizzle9000]

I got the Samsung Galaxy Buds2 because of Charli promoting them 😭 I believe that she uses them! They work great and have held up very well years later

[@lostmycat5671]

funny enough from an audiophile standpoint, they're among one of the best "true wireless" earbuds in terms of sound quality, they're actually good !

[@k4rlatte]

"i dont look that good in glasses" as she then stuns in those glasses

[@Senselessson]

No literally

Charli: “This is my favourite current scent that I always travel with”
The bottle: filled to the top😂😂

If I could purchase a new Byredo to travel with each trip, I would too

[@jennywithaglock3916]

@@helenogbonna3361 we stole odor from the the french language and over time made it associated with a stink rather than a scent, in perfume, it's all french labels just meaning scent

[@JemuzuDatsWho]

she could have bought a new one or refilled it to be fair

[@HisnameisViwares]

@@JemuzuDatsWho yeah I know. I just pointed out a funny coincidence😄

[@digibro2107]

so excited for BRAT !!!!!!!!! Her vibe is 10/10

[@fanpandatastic]

It’s such a good album. Maybe her best yet. She reallly delivered

[@Missjunebugfreak]

Brat is such a phenomenal album. I'm so obsessed with it.

[@bonbomb1]

LOVE THAT SHE SHARED HER ACCUTANE JOURNEY! So real. Laneige is a really good product.

[@flameinhale]

charli when you mentioned that you got adult acne at 26 i literally almost fell out crying bc im 26 and my adult acne is here and i should go on accutane but i refuse bc of the side effects and the monthly bloodwork but i have tried other things i hope it works for me but idk i feel much closer when artists share bad or weird personal sht

[@igorxcx]

accutane actually saved my skin. for sure it's individual, but side effects feel exaggerated to me - just keep in touch with your dermatologist and u will be fine : )

[@beans_thecat]

I was so scared of Accutane too but I realized I should've done it sooner because the acne left me with scars that otherwise wouldn't be there if it weren't for Accutane. It's been 3 years since the treatment and the acne has never returned. The side effects are minimal. It really is worth it!!!

[@uschilou]

Ugh, you got this! I also got adult acne at about 26/27, and it was brutal. I didn't go on Accutane, just toughed it out, and tried to take care of my body and skin, inside and out. It took a good 2 years for it to completely subside, but it cleared up. I still get one or two hormonal breakouts right before my period but I deal with them as they come.

[@Isabel-lb9fg]

I have rosacea and used to get cheek acne but i use a daily cream called epsolay that totally fixed the acne (not the redness though). good luck on your skincare journey!

[@megankennedy1725]

Try doxycycline! But mostly go to a derm if you can, changed my whole skin situation

[@xochiri]

SHES COOOL UGHHH I LOVE HER

[@haroldjoseph8296]

[@WingStorm]

*I have the Buds 2 Pro, and they truly are incredible. They do start falling out after a couple of hours or when eating, but for the most part, they get you through your day* 👏🏼

[@narcissticgoddess]

felt extremely validated when she talked about that lacoste commercial. that song is still stuck in my head after all these years!!!

[@cradio52]

“I like these candles because they make your room smell really good, which is…cool?”
