Don't forget that Sam made the important point that there are major benefits to PR when you're a smaller influencer and don't have $50 billion to blow on all the new products. You've said you're on a budget as a student, so your receiving PR is totally different. ❤️
True red. Juvias Place Festival Palette.
That red is life itself
@@Studentforlife473 I just pack the color where I want it to be (w a dense brush) and I blend it out with the orangy shade or the peachy shade (w a kinda dense fluffy brush) depending on when I'm going for.
I feel like there's a difference between being purposefully dishonest and being out of touch. I think a lot of larger producers are out of touch with reality. It's been so long since they had to actually weigh their purchasing options and budget, they forget what money really... means?
It's a natural side effect of having enough money that you don't need to worry about it, and a $125 palette is no big deal. Where an average consumer might have to save up for six months to spend that much.
I've heard so many times "It's $50, so not TOO expensive" and I realize how out of touch they are. For a normal average consumer not in the makeup industry, $50 is a LOT of money for one container of colored powder or liquid. Shit, that's my phone bill for the month. My husband has to work like four hours to make that $50.
I Pet Zombies facts🙌🏾 the disconnect from reality is....just...wow🤦🏾♀️
Concerning James Charles, in his video when he said it was the only red on the market or something like that my mind was immediately like “um... maybe if we’re ignoring all of the wonderful indie brands with great reds out there” 😂 James makes me feel old lmao
I felt the same way!!!
Spooky Lips And Fat Hips I’m definitely not buying his palette or anything else Morphe has ever made but he should have done some research before saying that 🙄 (or commenting on other topics like Marlena Stell for example)
Juvia’s Place does amazing bright rainbow colours and it’s even more affordable than Morphe
lol!! I am wondering if morphe told him that. Like “dude, this is going to change makeup history! Your red, man...your red is going to be the only true red on the market!” It just all feels very old school con artist. But who knows. I’m old (35) compared to him 🤷🏾♀️
To be honest colouredraine sauce eyeshadow is a true red pigment more than James
YUP as if sugarpill and so many others are not a thing.
I don't think the Colourpop thing is the same as Huda x Beauty Bakerie controversy. Huda copied marketing and creative aspects from Beauty Bakerie, while Colourpop simply developed a similar product - which, btw, is nothing new, as these glitter products on a gel base have been around for ages...
The Huda thing was so egregious to me! She stole every aspect of BB esthetic.
Colourcpop put in a massive order of one of everything for that Lemonhead product and then developed it off of that. When you know that fact, it’s more of a blatant rip off....
@@shawndamichelle639 but it's legal. Lemonhead doesn't own a patent on glitter body gel. Most companies do this kind of thing.
Bianca Berti just because something is legal doesn’t make it less shady. People are up in arms about Shop Hush and they blatant rip off of popular products. It’s really not any different. But they making an order shows how little Colourpop cares about the shadiness and their image because the beauty community is fickle and people jump in and off band wagons quickly.
@@shawndamichelle639 but still, it is different. By shop hush I'm assuming you're referring to Bad Habit palettes, which copy other brands palettes entirely. Stealing a theme, a whole color scheme, that's stealing the creative dimension of a product. Reproducing the formula isn't. If it were, well, every single brand out there is complete shit for copying Maybelline original mascara formula back in the day.
I loved Samantha’s video and she said on Twitter today, that even the companies she received PR from showed her love regarding her decision. The PR packages I’ve seen on some peoples channels are massive and when they are constantly pushing out releases, I can only imagine how overwhelming that would become. I would gladly take her packages, just saying 🤷🏻♀️😂 because it would be like Christmas everyday! Yes, love your fall look! Enjoy your friendsgiving! 💕
"We're doing a GRWM btw, I never said that. We never discussed it." I lost it at this one omgg You are so precious ♡♡
I’ve always thought that James Charles is a bit full of himself, which is probably why he said his palette will break the makeup industry and he’s made the only true red. I understand why he may be a bit cocky, because of how young he is (saying that made me feel a little old although I’m younger than him) and being as popular as he is. Still, he’s exudes a certain kind of entitlement that really turns me off.
I liked him at one point but I honestly can't with him. The way he attacked Marlena (Makeup Geek.. I might've spelled her name wrong) made me so mad. I don't care that he doesn't like her but to invalidate her job, experience, etc. I can't support him. On top of all the other things he's said/done. I think he has a horrible, entitled attitude. I know he apologized but the fact he went there in the first place makes me not care for him. People always say "he's young" but I didn't do that kinda stuff and most young people don't. So it's pretty insulting to young people. Sorry, my rant is over :)
Uh-Uh Claireski I definitely agree! I’m younger than him and I’d never ever say anything like that, but I thought I’d give him the benefit of the doubt. I’ve never seen any of his videos because I feel as if he’s always had a little ego on him
@@rueroxanne972 Same! I do want to say I'm not upset that anyone makes that excuse for him. I just don't feel that way :) I think more than age, the fact he's had this success and totally skipped over "regular" jobs and customer service didn't do him any favors. I started working at 14, so I knew how to be professional by time I was 19. I totally don't think you have to have jobs like that in order to not be a complete ass to folks but it helps :)
Literally the only thing stopping me from getting the artistry palette is that jc’s name is on it :/ The fact that i’ve had to debate so much if I want to unintentionally support him probs means I won’t get it.
The colourpop drama is disappointing, but happens a lot in beauty & fashion industries. I don’t agree with it, but i’m not going to stop buying from them either tho.
Thanks for bringing a (much needed) smile to my face today!
Dragon Slayer same. I find him very problematic and entitled. The whole SISTER thing makes me 🤮.
I used to work for a clothing manufacturer and we used to buy competitor clothes to see how they made stuff or try and source similar fabrics. We didn't directly knock stuff off but it was definitely common to buy stuff from competitors. I don't know how close the 2 glitter products are to each other but I don't think it's that weird that Colourpop ordered it.
James Charle is way over his head lol He is the Tana Mogeau of makeup. Sit the f down sister lol. Loved the video, as always
Hahahaha.. love this!
Yanno what would be cool to move towards at least towards some influencers (Tati, Samantha size). Instead of just sending out the packages automatically, they send an email or something offering the influencer to purchase it early like a pre-sale. Idk something along those line! I don’t feel like typing forever haha!!
My thoughts exactly. I know a lot of them donate but my sister and sister in law do a lot of work with women’s shelters and they focus on mascara, foundation and sanitary products. It just seems such a waste. I doubt many women want some bright eyeshadow palette that is hard to work with? (Not shading anyone in particular, I just know that seems to be a lot of what is decluttered)
I'd actually never watched Samantha before, I saw her video in someone's insta story. 100% agreed with her. I personally NEVER watch PR unboxings, and I am always more wary of heavily-sent PR people.. Just how it is. I'm 23 and I've been living off my own dollar for like 9 years.. I'm not out here trying to spend it all on average products; which I do think can happen when people are disconnected from the true value of a product. I liked how she mentioned PR was great for new YTbers, I see it's an expensive gig and the early releases can be helpful for getting viws - however, I'm not a kid and I don't need to buy every new release ASAP - I'm more than happy to wait, live my life, save my coin, and make my decision as the reviews come out. Also, side rant, people do need to realize (like she said) it's not brands being all lovely and friendly sending you gifts.. It's called PR for a reason, it's business .. But CZcams beauty videos for me are not just a business. I skip adds for a reason, I don't click on 30 min ones for fun! People talk so much about "missing the old youtube" .. maybe getting excited about individual great products would be a start :)
Yeah the breaking make up history thing was really weird and cocky
I keep waiting for a bigger YT’er to find a small channel and send a box of PR to them that they won’t review. Imagine if a box from Tati showed up at your door. You’d never have to know it was from her (if she didn’t want to disclose that). Even if she did it monthly and never said a word about it. I don’t see a downside. Yes donating to charity/shelters is great but they can only accept so much makeup. (They need feminine products, toothpaste + brushes, sunscreens, pet food, etc).
Totally agree! I have to wonder why we don't see that happening - is there some sort of contractual issue where they're not allowed to give it to other influencers? Or is it other personal reasons? Or has it just not occurred to them to do it?
Love this idea!
ramblerjam I would assume it’s something they don’t think of. I can’t imagine how anyone would know if they never said a word. I’d rather have my product used than thrown out untouched.
That would be so time consuming. Marking the packaging organizing who would like what. It’s a great idea but creates a lot of extra work.
Kathleen lights does. She has several friends who are makeup artists or have small makeup channels and she gives away a lot to them 👍🏼
For me, it doesn't matter what eyeshadow brand I use, if I don't use primer it will crease after a couple hours. I definitely can't only use concealer unless I'm just playing and washing off after.
I love that Sam said that PR should be mostly for smaller channels because it would be more financially beneficial for someone with a smaller channel to get these items for free and the people with bigger channels shouldn’t have to get as much PR as they do because they can afford it
11 THOUSAND WOOOO!!! So proud of you girl! A couple more thousand and you'll be moving to LA and showering in Cartier jewellery. I'm joking but I'm so happy for u!
I think the influencers should tell the brand their shades so that the brand can send just the correct makeup shade so there isn’t as much waste. We know there’s at least some communication between both parties going on so that should be thrown in st the beginning! Might not help much but could be a start
the james palette doesnt break makeup history lolllll....its a rainbow palette attached to a neutral palette. none of the shades are new to the market, we’ve seen it all before. id say that anastasia subculture or even prism was far more unique than this. even the “only true red on the market” has been done over and over, especially by indie brands. i just think he needs to chill, the palette is going to sell regardless of him making wild assumptions about it.
I loved Sams video, and I think it’s great she can step out of the influencer state of mind and realize, that this huge PR shift is affecting many things she cares about, environmental, being out of touch, etc.
Just an idea: Merry GLOW-mas
Or walking in Smokey Glows wonder land
I sooooo understand the Italian feasting! My husband is one and we eat in stages lol. 💖💜💖
Yesss!!! I love your chit chat grms!!!
I watched Sam’s video earlier today and was hoping you’d talk about it. I definitely respect her wanting to cut down on the waste she has to recycle. It will be interesting to see if her number of sponsored videos go up since she said she’ll still accept products from companies with which she’s working. Also curious to see which products she still chooses to buy for review purposes.
I watched Beauty News today and they talked a little about the Colourpop and Lemonhead situation. They commented that sometimes companies buy products to make sure they aren't the same as theirs, or just to compare quality. They also said somebody did a comparison video and said they weren't the same. They didn't really have a conclusion, except that if it is a copy, then that's pretty terrible. I haven't used either and I probably won't, because I'm not a body glitter kind of person. I do wonder what's up with Colourpop and their intentions though. It would be really cool if companies could just go ahead and stop doing problematic stuff.
Mcfilibuster you know until reading this, I hadn’t even thought of it that way! That brands would buy things to make sure they weren’t copying. The way it’s always presented seems to be “they ordered it to copy us!”
I heard that on Beauty News about 20 minutes after placing my first ever Colourpop order. It's pretty shady stuff. Hopefully it wasn't done with bad intentions.
I think you have to tap for colorful shadows. Angelica Nyquist blends differently for her colorful looks than most other beauty gurus using neutrals.
kristina erickson it depends on the color/ shadow, but you’re 100% correct that for the most intense payoff many brighter &/ or colorful dark shadows work best when applied with more of a tapping/patting motion and then , for blending, rather than swiping, etc it often works best to apply the shadow where you want it to be most concentrated & then blend it out around the edges.
PS Love Angelica!🔆
Sam Ravndahl is my absolute favorite beauty guru!!
she is something like antihero, or she is beacoming one :))) love it.
@@kakoocesh I adore her.
Same
I personally would love to see ASMR part 2 cause honestly that was absolutely hilarious.
I hope you are having a great day Hannah. I am just watching this before I head into work(night shift haha) and I'm currently running on 4 hours of sleep. It's going great.
I feel colourpop just was not hiding what probably happens quite often. I choose not to buy a dupe if at all possible (sometimes I may not know) but I also don't buy much makeup compared to most.
Huda beauty and beauty Bakerie I don't have an issue with. The term baking was around long before beauty bakerie and the popularity in the cutesie retro aesthetic really came about years ago on the continent and Britain (thank you to great British bake off for making it OK, cool and mainstream I think) so I can see how huda's team would've got there on their own. But I don't buy from huda for many reasons, that's just not one of them tbh.
“and it’s not even like they’re 2 norm thanksgivings....., they’re 2 Italian Thanksgivings” 🇮🇹❤️😘
I’m 100% Italian and I 100% feel what yo saying😂 👌🏽 xoxo💋
I love these chit chats even though I don't wear makeup or care a whole lot about beauty. I'm just invested now, lol.
I'm a bit of a pedant, and I was a History major. I think James Charles meant "make makeup history" not "break makeup history." That sounds like he's trying to "break the internet." I think breaking history would require a pretty large change to the status quo: revolution, coup, war or massive destruction. His palatte is pretty, but I don't think it is revolutionary.
I think the primer issue is a Morphe shadow issue, and he's trying to avoid Jaclyn's Vault drama. I use eye primer and it improved my eyeshadow looks, but that's personal preference. I do think it's curious that he was so anti-primer, and now has to back track to cover the Morphe shadows.
I had a blue body glitter from Bonne Bell/Lip Smackers in 1997 that looked very similar to both Lemonhead and Colourpop. It's sketchy of Colourpop, but it's a fairly common industry practice. My opinion is unhelpful and overly-snarky: "The 90s called, they would like their body glitter back."
I'm with you on the foundations , I use two that I love and don't want to change. I mean what's the point in having more you can't really do that much with it. I couldn't bring myself to get his palette, something about him just irks me
Every "Hi friends! Hello!" Literally makes me so happy. 💜 so proud of you all the way from Georgia.
I'm so glad 💕💕💕
I don’t think it had to do with you being older. I’m 16 and I agree with your thoughts on him saying the palette is breaking makeup history 😂😂 I still want to buy it just to try it.
I wrote a comment last time about James on your video.. You got me started again 😂 I'm so happy I'm not the only one that was like what? When James was like this is going to break makeup history, that actually made me laugh when he said that!. James is known for not being able to take criticism, so yeah makes sense him giving out ways to make the palette work so if someone does say something negative he'll respond with, well you're clearly not an artist or you didn't follow the instructions on how to make my palette work. Good on Sam for not being into waste. GRWM are my fave types of videos!.
I'd love to know what you prefer, the JH x Morphe palette or the James Charles one.
I haven't decided yet 🤔 so far I like the look of the James Charles better but I think the Jaclyn formula was much easier to use and the shimmers are a lot better.
@@smokey_glow awesome, thank you so much for replying to me x
I honestly don’t think Huda copied the Beauty Bakerie theme. BB is just a baking and all kitchen theme. If you actually watch the whole entire HB campaign on her series it was a 1950’s them where she goes to the supermarket, then goes to the salon then goes home to bake soo it wasn’t just flat out copying. But I do feel if HB went with a desert Middle Eastern theme for her powders it would have been wayyyyy nicer and more suited for her target market which someone like myself, a Middle Eastern and others in my community who just loves heavy makeup lol
Gotta do a Black Friday vlog! And present wrapping! And obvi a couple holiday themed “trying to look like an insta model”!
Girl it's like you read my mind 😂😂😂
I love listening too you talk girl!
Your mum is Polish? I would’ve never guessed 😲
My boyfriend is proper Italian, we go to Italy to visit his family quite a lot and oh my, they eat a LOT 😂
Sometimes I ask him to go spend the day on the beach just to get away from all the pasta and mozarella
I think the packaging has gotten extremely insane as well! A whole range of foundation is bad enough but... TV screens?! TV SCREENS?!!! That is absolutely mind blowing to me. Granted, I live in the middle of nowhere, TN and money is scarce. lol.
Speaking of, where are you from? I loved hearing you say crayons. :)
I do my makeup too, just for goin nowhere 🙄😂 because I got the notification of your video and I get in the mood to get ready too✨ Now wach me here full GLAM just for see some Netflix in my room 💁🏽♀️😂😂😂😂
Ayyyyy 11k! Go you! I don’t think PR will go away either but I do hope bigger influencers that don’t do reviews start to trend towards taking themselves off PR lists. There’s the waste aspect, but I also want these brands to get a kick up the arse and put thought into what they release instead of spitting out new products on a near weekly basis. If a lot of influencers opt to not get PR and these companies know off bat that they WON’T get that promotion, they can maybe redirect those resources towards product development or even corporate social responsibility (which might be preferred considering all the aforementioned waste).
This is why I want beauty gurus to post (at least annually) their permanent favorites. Do your monthly videos, sure. But please include what your V.I.P. is and if I changes. That’s all I want when it comes down to it. All of these products that you are saying are amazing and holy grails are just..excessive, and they overwhelm me. Don’t get me wrong, I get incredibly interested in new products, but my end goal is to find the ultimates for myself. 😔
EDIT: I should take away the sad face! I already have two staples: my Lancôme mascara and Clio Kill Cover brow stain and mascara. But dang it..I feel like I’ll never get a great foundation or concealer, because they keep reviewing new ones and never coming back to them! Grr.
With CP and LH drama: i didnt really have an opinion until I heard yours tbh. but what I have come down to is basically that its shady for colourpop to order it themselves, and them put it out. But like you said, not exactly.. illegal or "wrong". I think it would have been different of Bretman had just brought his glitter in and said "i want it like this" and they did it, rather then spending money and buying it outright with the intention of duping it.
I think that's the line for me. CP bought the product with the intent of stealing it. Maybe if they just saw pictures and tried their best at dupping it, I would feel different. Idk. I'm sure more companies do this than we know but the blatant way they went about it turned me off.
@@claireeebee agreed. its more of them putting the effort into doig it versus the chance falling into their lap. I know theres a philosophical word for it but basically they went out of their way to do something kind of unethical and it makes the situation worse
For someone who doesn’t have any rainbow palettes would anyone recommend getting the Slush palette over the James Charles?
I just love your grwm video's, I think you are an amazing makeup artist!! also your knowledge of makeup and your views are seriously on point girl. Love ya, even tho I'm old enough to be your mother. hahahah
I like watching Tati’s PR unboxing because she donates or does giveaways for her subs, but thats about it. I miss genuine hauls with stuff people went out and bought themselves, not what the companies sent them.
I like what you said about PR being received but then no accompanying review. You are spot on. Why companies are sending makeup, or anything in any market, to people that just do a PR unboxing/haul is something I just can't wrap my brain around. I love seeing things actually reviewed before/near the launch date. Definitely helps me decide what to get and what to pass on.
The other thing that drives me bonkers regarding PR are the videos that people do where they save their PR until they have a big enough "haul" to do a video instead of showing them as they receive them. A lot of times the products are already launched and then it's just extra frustrating when you find out they have had that product for awhile and just wanted to wait until they got more. Like are 5 min videos about a single PR item a bad thing?
I don't know, just my thoughts.
Oh wow my perspective is so different when it comes to trying makeup! I am not at all on a quest to find my favorites and then keep using those. I think most of the fun for me comes from learning the differences between different products and figuring out the best ways to use them. I think the day I find all my favorites and want to keep just buying those is the day I lose interest in doing makeup. :)
re: dupes, I think what makes this situation different is that it's a powerhouse company copying a small indy brand (if they really did copy, which there's no way to know as far as I can tell). I don't take all that much issue with a smaller or less notable brand taking direct inspiration from iconic, expensive brands...that is the entire story of the fashion industry. Marc Jacobs puts a coat on the runway for $10,000, and a few months later various versions of that coat are available at multiple retailers from Anthropologie to Zara to H&M to Etsy at multiple price points and multiple levels of quality. But when a company like Urban Outfitters copies an Etsy design, I think that's gross. To me, one is about trickle-down trendsetting and making beautiful things accessible to all, and the other is stealing & taking advantage. Since the Lemonhead product wasn't exactly trending, if Colourpop decided to steal their idea...it falls more in the second category to me, but it is somewhat complex and unclear and I don't know why I AGAIN wrote such a long comment YOU JUST MAKE ME WANT TO WRITE LONG COMMENTS HANNAH, OKAY????
I actually thought that PR for James was wayyyyy late, I didn’t see much until a few days before the launch, mostly from Keren and Tati. I haven’t seen enough diverse reviews to decide if I want it, and by the time I decide I know they’re gonna be sold out :/
Also!!! About the primer!!! I have lash inserts so I have to be careful about what primers I use to make sure they don’t have oil and in the end it’s easier and safer for me to not wear eye primer so that sucks that shadows won’t work as well on me ://
So happy this popped up on my feed!!💖💖💖
when i saw samantha’s videos my first thought was what your opinion is haha
I wish I could use a concealer instead of a primer but my eyes won’t have it ! Great video 💕
I appreciate what Samantha is doing by taking herself off PR. She seemed overwhelmed by it and recently she’s even admitted that she doesn’t really love doing CZcams. I feel like she would start to resent Makeup if she kept getting tons and tons of makeup each week. I do think the idea of PR is important so we can see reviews prior to launch but they don’t need to send the entire range of foundation or make elaborate packaging. I don’t really care what the package looks like I want to know that it’s a good product. With James I roll my eyes with him. I tried watching some of his videos earlier this year but I can’t handle the constant “sister” or the attitude. He acts like he has more talent and knowledge than those who have been doing this for years. And he started out his career by lying about his yearbook picture. I won’t buy the palette because I don’t really use a lot of those colors and I don’t really want to support morphe. I feel like there are so many other men in Makeup that deserve more recognition
Girl ! I’m so glad you understood what Sam was trying to say. Sometimes people just do good things and want to share it, why is it a bad thing to spread positive things ? Damned if you’re negative, dammed if you’re too positive. Also, I agree too with the JC things you were saying. I prefer being able to use my palette without having to read instructions on how to use EACH shade. There’s good palettes out there, his palette inspired me to play with color for sure tho, so I bought myself some makeup geek pigments :)
I love Sam! She is so unbelievably classy and honest! Her doing what she did with her PR made me love her even more.
I agree with her that these larger youtubers should let the smaller Channels have a shot at getting PR. I know you used Tati as an example but why can’t someone like her purchase stuff on her own? I understand that the sooner you get stuff out the better, but I dont think Tati has her hand on the pulse of the new launches anymore, she doesn’t really need to. Her fans are so loyal that she can pretty much do whatever and she will get views. I find her really entertaining and informative, I watch her nearly everyday. I saw another comment about Emily, and I totally agree. I never watch PR Unboxing’s, I think they are totally obnoxious so I guess I didn’t realize she got so much or that the stuff she got she never talks about... that should be an indication to the brands that someone smaller should get a chance... Jessica Braun is the same way, she even admits that she gets so much stuff from brands in PR, a lot of the stuff she never shows.. she gives it away to family and friends...
It’s a tricky subject I guess.
I love all the people I mentioned, but even those people are saying enough is enough.. Sam is just the first one to say no more and I’m so proud of her 💜
i agree with you, for me it is a consumerism problem because the point IS to find what products works for you, what make you feel the prettiest and happiest ! Now (same as clothing) it's new collection, new collection, new collection all the time so you have to keep buying to keep up with the trends. that is the most waistfull way to create / consum but it does make the company more money ....
My grandma is Polish. You make me smile
Love these videos. It brings mw back to what first brought me to the makeup side of youtube so long ago
Aside from everything I don’t think it’s weird for a company to buy products from a competitor. Knowing your competition is important in creating better products and understanding the market
See I actually agree with that but a good counter point I've seen is that they aren't even on the playing field. Colourpop is SO much bigger that I question why they would go after the little guys instead of someone more in there lane like beauty bakery or juvias place? Idk if that makes sense but this is such a dilemma for me because I totally agree with you but I also see all the other point.
My issue with dupes are the ones that are the same shades and same theme exactly. Those bother me. There is no creativity and it is just a cheaper version of something that a brand put a lot of thought and effort into.
However, there is SO much makeup out there that "dupes" are going to happy. There are only so many shades and color stories that make sense.
James Charles totally put me off with his palette being the absolute best thing ever to happen to makeup....with Morphe. Like the quality is OK but it doesn't compare to like ABH or Huda shadows. Also, my unpopular opinion about her is she didn't steal that idea from Beauty Bakerie....
Drag Queens have been "baking" their face forever and there are only so many ways to make a photo shoot about baking.
The Colourpop thing bothers me, but I don't have enough info to say anything further.
I was on the fence about the Huda/beauty bakery thing as well
Aucoin is pronounced "oh-kwa". Everyone on CZcams mispronounces it, which is sad because he was awesome.
I love Sam so much! I think I interpreted her video as saying that she could feel the disconnect from her experience with PR and real experience of buying product. Eg: how can I recommend something not knowing how much it costs etc. I respect her for doing what is right for her personal situation and beliefs.
I agree 100% about the whole “my palette is gonna break makeup history” thing. I’m not a huge James Charles fan. Idk he just rubs me the wrong way lol
Totally agree on what you said about the James Charles launch. I really like him and his content but this whole launch he seemed very cocky with all of the “breaking makeup history” 🙄
Lmao. Right? We've never seen a rainbow & a bunch of warm neutrals before.
Vlogmas. Let it glow with smokey glow. 🥰✨🙌🏼 Awe can’t wait for Xmas-y vlogs!! A real cute and funny one I think would be you and Charles baking cookies or some sort of Christmas dessert ☺️
I know I'm comenting on a super old video, but after watching your collab with Jen Luvs Reviews, I've been watching a bunch. I am also related to someone who was on the Mayflower. He is famous for being the person who fell off the Mayflower, and was rescued.
ommmg yesssss thaaaaanks i love you sooo much hanna!
I love Sam. She is very aware and conscious about her subscribers as well as herself. She's so beautiful and sarcastic that I can see why someone might think she's stuck up but if you really watch her videos you know that's not true.
It is generally better to use an eye primer, a thick concealer can do the job too, but it's still better when it's the product that's designed for that region.
Could you do the Makeup Memories Tag on one of the days? New subbie and love your convos style. ❣
omg yes please call it let it glow thats so bloody cute
Samantha's video has really stuck with me. I'm not accepting PR this year but I'm going to be open to it next year, so I'm potentially just about to start being part of the system that she just decided to gracefully bow out of. The issue of waste is close to my heart. I hope that more CZcamsrs will start asking companies to send more reasonably-sized packages...influencers as big as Tati could actually have the power to REQUIRE that change from companies. I think this is the kind of issue that might actually be actionable via some kind of petition or hashtag? LMK if you have any ideas.
When she said Italian thanksgiving I was like I feel you
I have family that came over on the Mayflower as well!
Totally agree with you regarding James as well....
Um, James never saw a Pat McGrath red? Ugh....these overrated, fast talking Morphers.
I really liked the Samantha video. The waste with the PR packaging was not something I would have thought of, but I also had been thinking how overwhelming the volume of items could get. Not that I get PR or think I'd ever get that big, but I get anxious about random things. And i have fallen into that mindset of "well I'm a youtuber and I should buy that to review" when I'm just one lady with one face and am not making any money off of youtuber. So normal usage people like myself fall into over purchasing because we see so many things being tried by the bigger influencers. I think making it a collab or sponsor product only allows her to only accept items she's excited for and that won't overwhelm her collection.
I think the Colourpop situation is pissing people off bc they are a large company compared to Lemonhead LA. If MUG or Colourpop dupes the companies that are bigger than they are it doesn't worry people as much bc of the power balance. Same with Huda vs Beauty Bakerie - it's a big powerful company potentially ripping off a much less advantaged company. That's my take on it, anyway!
Thats such a good point too! I didn't even think about that. I totally agree.
THIS look... im in love.
Just got this video recommended for me Hannah! Happy New Year 💕
Hey Hannah! Great video as always! You should check out Youkeyy’s reviews on James Charles’ palette. She used concealer first (because that’s what she uses normally too) and then a primer second. I think she’s going to keep experimenting and playing around with the palette too. She’s pretty clear and honest about it too.
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS 🙌🏽
I don't find that eyeshadow primer improves the appearance of my eyeshadow BUT it definitely keeps it from creasing/fading.
I just found out I'm not actually Polish but Italian (one parent is adopted). We aren't super cultural but we do certain Polish traditions. My husband is Polish as well. It's weird but I'm really sad I'm not. Haha. Got a lot of Italian though, which does explain a lot :)
Seeing that you've uploaded a video can immediately turn my day from bad to good. Ahhh so much love for you and your content ❤️❤️❤️
Just started watching, I always forget you’re connected to Washington DC! That’s where I’m from, maybe I get to see you during Christmas!!
I skipped the James Charles palette for the primer reason, I often forget to put mascara or concealer on in the morning, I'm not gonna remember to use primer
I hope the no PR thing becomes a trend. I think that would have the possibility to have a positive change to the beauty world. No hate for anyone who receives it but all the reviews are getting too much. We need a shift from overconsumption and over saturation of the market.
for me that’s what I do, I try products and keep the ones that work for me, I don’t usually buy a lot of one makeup item unless it it different shades
I really love your eye look! I also agree with your thoughts on Tati!
I have so much respect for Samantha!
I loved the knitting videos! 👵🏻♥️
I think the issue with the Lemonhead situation is a larger brand (Colourpop) stealing ideas from a much smaller brand (Lemonhead LA). Anyway, enjoy your friends- giving!
I love your videos! I'm not sure what to think about the Colourpop and Bretman thing with Lemonhead.... LH said that he copied their colors but he made a whole line based on the colors of the flag of the Philippines... and red and blue are not really original colors so it's hard to say that that was copying? I'm not sure. I also kind of feel like the idea is not super original and I know LH is saying that their formula of glitter gel is unlike anything else but I still don't feel like a body glitter in a gel-like formula is an original idea? Not sure what to think but I'm not interested in LH's product or the Bretman collection so I'm not buying either way I guess :)
Ok, just discoverd you and subscribed. You are on point with your opinions. Thank you.
I think Colourpop blatantly ordering and then copying makes the situation a bit different. That and the fact that compared to Lemonhead LA they are a big company makes it a bit more inflammatory. I personally dont support brands like Hush who just dupe out other people's original ideas. I only just recently began to purchase from Makeup Revolution since they began to branch out and create unique products and I still wont purchase any of their dupe products.
Your mama is polish...im polish too...i knew i liked you 🙃🤪
Happy thanksgiving to you and Charles!
