Have you heard of flashback favorites? People go back to their monthly favorites video from a year or years past and update if they still use the product, if they've forgotten about it, if they found something better.
that is a cool idea- like see what you used to use and if you're still using it what you still like about it. and if you're not still using it, why you stopped
I think a lot of youtubers are asking questions on this type of video at the moment but I love monthly favourite videos. It feels slightly informal and is a little insight into your life. I've always enjoyed watching them and look forward to them.
I love traditional monthly favourite! I find a lot of people are trying to change them up now, but I agree with you. They're still some of my fave videos to watch and I look forward to them the way they are!
You look gorgeous in this video!!! Your makeup is beautiful! I like watching monthly favourites, but I have to be very honest, a lot of the products that you use, I cannot use, just simply because we have completely different skin. However, I would be very interested in seeing your lifestyle favourites! Perhaps your favourite book, favourite show, favourite food, favourite recipe, favourite new home decor item, favourite new shirt, etc. I love your style and your home decor so those types of favourites would be interesting to me! xx
I definitely still enjoy favourites but if you're wanting a change, something more vlog style could be interesting, showing you applying them/using them and just some nice shots etc? I do love a good old fashioned one though as well x
I love your monthly favorites, my personal favorite are any videos that have to do anything with skincare cause I'm a skincare junky. Love your videos !!!
I would like to see your actual favourites; not just new things that you've tried that month, but the things that you really love and always use, even if they're the same every month. So many youtubers feature things in their favourites just once, to not be repetitive, but then you don't really know if it's a lasting favourite or just a nice product that's quickly forgotten amongst all the new stuff.
I like favourites videos. I enjoy the ones where people mix beauty with other things they've been into. I hadn't heard of flashback favourites but that sounds like a great idea for beauty products.
I love watchinf monthly favorites and you seem to show the ones that works for me! It would be nice if you could show how you use them, like with that cleansing tool, you could show the before and after or just the cleansing! Idk but i would look so much more interesting! Love ya 💕
The Foreo play last up too 100 uses:) and you can get the Foreo go which is the same size as Foreo Play but rechargeable. You only have to recharge it once a month..
i have no problems of watching monthly favorites. i love seeing what you love to use and inspire my monthly skincare/makeup purchases. but once in a few months if you can do a reflection almost, like "a few months ago i said i love product x for...., but now i think i've found a better product y for the same goal because..." just so that when i want to purchase new things especially like skincare, i can always see your comparison review and opinion for a better research before purchasing purpose.
I really like your favorites. You always do an interesting and diverse range (product and price-wise) and are articulate and knowledgeable (without too much detail). I'm not a fan of lifestyle videos (although I know a lot of viewers are) and think you speak about skincare and make up well, maybe swatches and demonstrations cut- aways. I was interested to see how much the Estée Lauder changed on skin for example
I really like your monthly favourites, especially because they usually include skincare and your recommendations are so good! Maybe some clips of you using the products would make them a bit more different...
I always really enjoy your monthly favorites! Maybe if you're looking for a change, you could incorporate clips of using the products as well (swatches, during your morning routine, etc.). Or instead of each month having a favorites video, you could section it off by summer beauty favorites / summer skin care favorites.
Hey Alix! Maybe you can add clips of you using your monthly products versus only talking about them that way we can see them in action? Love from Texas!
Try the Leahlani skincare balancing mist....Caroline Hirons mentioned it and I loved the Omorovicza but OMG, the Leahlani is FANTASTIC and much more affordable as well!

I was looking at the Foreo Play the other day and then decided not to get it. Just changed my mind after hearing your review, it sounds like something definitely worth trying! I think they last for 100 uses? I could be wrong but I remember seeing that somewhere and thinking it'd last me around 3 months. Makes it worth it, especially if you don't feel like shelling out for the original. Lovely favorites, as always :)
I still think the Foreo is quite gimmicky. Vibrating silicone bristles doesn't do much for the skin. And your hands can do a better job at foaming up a cleanser. If you have one of those silicone scrubbie thing that was popular a few years ago, you can just use that instead.
I have been using the foreo mini 2, it is so good, definitely not gimmicky. and I only charged once when I first got it and it has been 3 months, still going strong! the foreo play is a bit waste of money, once it is run out of battery you need to buy a new one.
Please keep things as they are Alix, these are the videos I look forward to at the end of the month!!! But maybe include more lifestyle products like favourite films or favourite books, which ones you would recommend and what are your all time favourites?
I love watching monthly favorites, or favorites in general, so if you want to change the title and post randomly, I would still watch your videos. Maybe you could expand them to include favorite things you're doing, using (other than beauty products), or seeing? Or, what about a favorite topic or passion? P.S. What lip product(s) are you wearing in this video?
I love all your videos and I'll watch them no matter what. :) However, I generally got a bit bored of everyone's monthly favs tbh. :p I think Lily Pebbles gave a great new twist to the subject with her last couple of episodes. :) I would love to see more of your favorites, apart from makeup.
Hi Alix, first off I love your make up today, just looking up the products listed in your description box as I fancy some new bits and bobs! Anyway, for me monthly favourites is something I'm a bit torn on. On the one hand its great to see what you have been enjoying and to get recommendations but when I click on my sub box on a sunday it is just full of people talking about favourites and it can be a bit disappointing to watch video after video of, as you say, hold up product, chat, then move on! How about a look back at some of the new products that came out that month and your thoughts on them having giving them a trial run good or bad, maybe more lifestyle things you've been enjoying like tv shows or foods? you could maybe try doing something totally different and do your monthly favourite make up look, so that a tutorial is hooked on a month - so for example your favourite look during July - wearing a bb cream, light powder and light lip products then perhaps more sparkly or defined eyes in say November or December? Just a thought, but I'll keep clicking anyway, I love your aesthetic so much :)
I was going to say keep things as they are, but this would be a nice change-up in the mix. Also maybe show the application or at least a swatch of items for which that's appropriate. :)
That Zara blouse creases like a Biatch !! Lifestyles favourites ? I'd rather quarterly favourites , it does become monotonous with the same youtubers but I still think your videos are great X
Favourites and Hate Its are my favourite type of videos to watch. I think your videos should be kept the same. I always enjoy them. Perhaps throw in a product or two at the end that you don't like or that you have totally changed your mind on.
Hi Alix, how do you use the rimmel powder over your BB cream: with a puff? a big fluffy brush? all over the face or just the T zone? what do you think is best the pressed powder or the loose one? thanks in advance.
i like monthly favorites but every beauty/lifestyle vlogger does them and they tend to get repetitive so maybe swtich it up a little just if you want btw i love your channel and i think its a really positive and creative space
I really love your videos but maybe it would be cool to see something a little different! I don't know, a lot of your videos are just you talking to us (which is wonderful, don't get me wrong) but some of my most-loved favourites videos on youtube are those which present the items in a unique way. Just experiment and try things out, and if people end up not liking it, you can carry on with this and no harm done :) I'd say just always make videos that you're proud of and happy to make, and it'll always show!
I like your favourites the way they are but I think it could be nice to see you use them, like in short inserts while you're talking, for example for the cleaning tool for your face !
Both Lily Pebbles and Esté Lalonde have been mixing up their favourites lately. I like it, but I also like this. I think, as long as you do what you feel like doing, it will be something we want to watch.
Hi Alix! Please please turn down the brightness a little on your videos, I really find it difficult to really enjoy the video and especially to see the products you hold up, because everything is just too white and bright! I'm not sure if I'm the only one, but I thought I'd mention it just in case you read these comments... Love, a loyal subscriber! xxx
Why don't you do other faves like fashion food recipes places youtubers instagrammers shoes hair lifestyle workouts it doesn't have to be beauty only (I'd say you're the only person I watch who focuses on beauty and akin!) x
I like the videos the way they are. You can vlog more--- I would like that. But I don't enjoy lifestyle videos nor cooking videos. I ended up unsubscribing from a lot of people because they went in that direction. Make up, skin care, perfumes, etc. relax me and that's what I want to watch. I have my own lifestyle and ways that I exercise and cookbooks so I don't need to see that from a beauty blogger.

Keep doing your beauty favourites! Every one seems to be doing more general favourites and I am watching to see beauty products!
I like favourites videos. I enjoy the ones where people mix beauty with other things they've been into. I hadn't heard of flashback favourites but that sounds like a great idea for beauty products.
Hiiii Alix! I just wanted you to know that I love your videos and your positive charisma. You are one of my few favourite youtubers.
I like the old-fashioned favourites, no need to change anything!
Please do a tutorial for the makeup you wore in this video😻😻💘
I love monthly favourites! It'd be nice if you included things that aren't necessarily new but, apart from that, I love them.
I like watching monthly favourites, even if you're liking mostly the same products. That means they really are your favourites.
Keep favorites the same,they're my absolute favourite videos to watch!
You look absolutely stunning!
I love your monthly favorites! I would also like to hear about products you tried in the month but that ended up not working for you.
Love your favourites videos as they are! I think they're super fun to watch

i enjoy when you just talk about your beauty favorites

I like favorites. But quarterly favorites work too. You do what's right for you. I will continue to watch whatever you decide.
I would like to see a hairroutine or how you do those incredible waves☺
Hey Alix! Maybe you can add clips of you using your monthly products versus only talking about them that way we can see them in action? Love from Texas!

Try the Leahlani skincare balancing mist....Caroline Hirons mentioned it and I loved the Omorovicza but OMG, the Leahlani is FANTASTIC and much more affordable as well!
secnd this! I loved all the leahlani products I have tried so far! one of the best skincare brands out there for sure!
Can you do a room tour? :) or a makeup storage video? Love all your videos Alix xx
I love watching your monthly favorites
I love your favorites but I like it when you include favorite books and movies too. 😍😍. I wish I could come shopping in your drug stores.
I love these videos!! maybe add in more lifestyle favourites? movies books music food etc? that'd be awesome :)
Your make up is so beautiful in this video. Would love to see a tutorial! X

There are knockoffs on Amazon that are just as good, rechargeable, and a fraction of the price.
I have a dupe off amazon and it's amazing! :) x
+Megan Hockey I have a dupe too! Simply Fresh. Honestly don't know how the Foreo can be any different/better.
I still think the Foreo is quite gimmicky. Vibrating silicone bristles doesn't do much for the skin. And your hands can do a better job at foaming up a cleanser. If you have one of those silicone scrubbie thing that was popular a few years ago, you can just use that instead.

I just like how you do your favourites videos now :) But I do think @aukluk's idea sounds good!
you look gorgeous can you please do a tutorial on this look!?
I love the Rimmel powder! Even with dry skin it's so good xxx
You should explore the korean bb creams + foundation cushions thinking we love the same light weight finish for ones face base!
just sit down an put on your favorites :-D like a favorites tutorial
"favourites' videos help me make decisions on what to buy especially for skincare

I have the full size Luna by Foreo... It's my favorite skincare tool EVER! Never. Going. Back!
You are stunning!! Loved this video!! XX
The Rimmel Stay Matte is a classic!
Really wish you would edit in some close ups for us, in this vid you talked about limited edition packaging and we couldn't see it!!

Hi...could u suggest something for hairfall...which I could get here in India
Hey, will you be doing the mid year favorites video? :)
Keep the favorites!! If you think of a fun way to change it up that's fine but please don't quit doing them!
I like the current way you're doing your favorites, but if you're looking for a change maybe you could do a routine video using your favorites?
introduce new categories to your favoutites...😄favourite film,good,restaurant,etc...😊
i love monthly favorites keep doing them please :) !
Personally, I prefer monthly hits and misses to monthly beauty favorites!
I was going to say keep things as they are, but this would be a nice change-up in the mix. Also maybe show the application or at least a swatch of items for which that's appropriate. :)

Hi Alex, would you prefer stay matte OR laura mercier powder??? I was thinking of getting the mercier pressed powder! OR do you prefer another powder?
What's the difference between the Clarins detox BB cream and the old one (skin perfecting)?
The new one feels lighter and is good for oily combination skin x
Thanks Charlotte!
Both Lily Pebbles and Esté Lalonde have been mixing up their favourites lately. I like it, but I also like this. I think, as long as you do what you feel like doing, it will be something we want to watch.
Lovely things 😇💜🌸
You look like drew Barrymore!! So pretty
It would be nice if you inserted clips of yourself using the products :)

I miss you videos😔
You look even more glowy and gorgeous in this video if that's possible.

Why don't you do other faves like fashion food recipes places youtubers instagrammers shoes hair lifestyle workouts it doesn't have to be beauty only (I'd say you're the only person I watch who focuses on beauty and akin!) x
Why are Foreo making a product you can't charge and not even change the battery. So unsustainable.
EVERY MONTH PLS XXX
