This video reminds me of the time I interviewed an ad copywriter and they said that they watch depressive movies to learn about human insecurities, so that they could offer their client's products to "fix" the "problem". So, yes, in a world where some people would try to make profit out of your search for perfection, being content with what you've got is a radical act.
Thank you for this comment ! “Being content is radical “ ❤️❤️
@@muoian Yes and but also the fist part of Puji's comment is bonechilling... I'll try to focus on the positive, but damn!
Haven't shopped for makeup since I got unemployed. One less thing to worry about. And i don't think I'll ever run out of existing makeup
this reminds me of the terminology used in the skin aesthetics/hair removal industry. they frame laser hair removal sessions as "treatments", pathologizing hair growth for no damn reason. just call them sessions!!!
that is so disgusting, predatory and vile but not surprising at all. it's like the psychologists who willingly help these app developers to make online platforms as addicting as possible all for revenue.
One of my big aha moments was that a happy customer is a bad customer, cuz they'll either realize that they don't need stuff to feel good, or they've found what works for them and won't explore other products. The best customer is the one that's never satisfied with themselves or products. That moment helped me realize that brands are never my friend.
I worked in the industry and another major lie is their commitment to diversity. Unless it’s a POC-owned brand, most of the legacy brands added diversity to their mission statements yet are still steeped in covert/overt racism
Add sustainability to that as well. Across all consumer goods, companies are doing the bare minimum for kudos
I always thought something was wrong with my hair, it wasn’t naturally straight and smooth like in commercials (where they showed that as undesirable and sold solutions for it), on celebrities or on straight haired friends. Even hairdressers remarked negatively on my hair! When I realized there is nothing wrong with my hair, that’s just it’s natural texture it was a game changer.
Another lie - Price point. Me and my daughter were in Marshalls the other day and we see a famous lip product that cost about 25 bucks in Ulta for 1 lip mask (she use to work there so she knows all the prices) Well Marshalls was selling the lip masks for 25.00 for a pack of 4. And she wanted to buy them (not that she needed them) because it was so much cheaper than Ulta. And I said, but you don't need it and just because they are priced lower just goes to show that Ulta was overcharging for this product to begin with. No customers in this store are rushing these product because its so much cheaper than retail pricing. We already know the retail price is overpriced. I'm done with that beauty industry lie.
Fabletics does the price point thing too. I guess everybody does it lol. How I see it: If I can get your product for $12 the first time, I know it’s only worth $12 and probably cost you half that to make it. Why would I value your product enough to pay $50 when I know it’s only worth $12?
@@Whoknows-mf1cv I think the Fabletics is a bit misplaced. Fabletics will only charge $12 for the first order because they are willing to take a loss hoping you fall in love with the product.
Enough, to keep buying it at full price. Like the freemium model, where the free or basic version prompts you to spend the full price
Yes! I've far too often fallen into the Marshall's/ discount pricing trap. Yes it's cheaper at Marshall's, but that doesn't mean I need it anymore than I did if I was willing to pay full retail price.
In other words, if I wouldn't pay the retail price for it, I don't need it at any price.
That has stopped the impulse to "snag a good deal".
I'm on a low/no buy month, but I do check Marshall's first for any restocks.
@@Whoknows-mf1cv EXACTLY!!!💯
@@violetaura9007 OH meee too!!! They know me in there on sight..some of the nicest people work there. When I NEED it..I'll seek it..but I've bypassed stuff for $5..if I don't need it I'll leave it. 😋
"That thing [fast fashion] isn't designed to age, it's designed to expire." - Hannah. Extremely profound!
I've really enjoyed this series. Please have more niche intersections of money and XYZ! Perhaps a future one could be travel, particularly breaking down Instagram/social media-worthy trips versus travel that will genuinely interest you, how travel may benefit/disadvantage the local community fiscally, etc.
A local store was closing out a line of lipsticks. I had earlier paid $35 for a shade I loved and now they were selling what they had left for $5 each. I bought several of those lipsticks, even though none of them was my favorite shade, because the price was so good. In a year I have never used any of those other shades, so I threw out $25. Not a lot of money, but I still feel foolish when I look at those shades. And I'm going to toss them right after this video is done. Thanks, Hannah!
Don't feel too foolish - we've all been there! And now you've collected emotional data for the next time you're faced with that kind of spending decision :)
The silver lining is that you learnt your lesson with a relatively smaller amount of money. Kinda like you paid $25 to learn this lesson.
The first lie is called “perceived opulence” and when I learned about it years ago, it triggered me to slow down and buy differently. A new iPhone available every year, making your current, workable iPhone “seem old/outdated” is exactly that.
A new palette every month. A new lipstick collaboration every week. A new line of something or whatever right after the first one has barely caught dust. That is perceived opulence
I agree ☝️ I still have an iPhone 8 and it works fine 😅
For a couple of years I was really into buying makeup, specially lipsticks… I don’t wear makeup, rarely do I wear a drop of makeup.. so now I have over 40 lipsticks just sitting in my drawer… been trying to declutter my life lately. I have decided that the real me and the person I want to be, are two different persons.
I had to really learn how to stop myself from buying new makeup or clothes every time I went out . An invite to a event or party doesn’t always constitute spending money on unnecessary things. I would even buy new luggage every time I traveled. I didn’t realize I was doing it until the lockdown.
As a eastern european, when I was younger Zara was a luxury for my family. However , due to the fact that in my family we are seamstresses and fabric oriented, we bought both fast fashion but take care for the fabric and design that lasts. I have a suede leather jacket from zara that is faux sheepskin lined and it was with me for 6 years and counting. Also a normal leather jacket from promod, a french fashion brand, that has aged but aged well . I store them with care , condition the leather , etc. Same with cotton poplin shirts, high cotton percentage jeans. I ve changed body sizes and I had still a good functioning wardrobe in a couple of years after I lost the weight. Of course this means maybe that my standards are low , but also the volume of my consumption is not of the the buy , wear one season. It's thinking to mend, repurpose, prolong and cherish all the clothes, especially understanding that the human cost of those garments is so high
100%, even "fast fashion brands" was something I have seen as luxury most of my life
There definitely are good quality pieces to be found from fast fashion brands. By and large a lot of what they produce is not very high quality, particularly the really trendy items that combine 3-4 trends into one piece, or things that are really out there that won't age well and that most people won't continue wearing once it goes out of style (let alone wearing it enough that it falls apart).
I think the idea of clothing from fast fashion brands falling apart after a few uses only applies to some of their clothing - certainly $5 t-shirts from H&M or Zara fall into that category, while a pair of 100% cottons jeans or a linen dress may not because it's made of a sturdy fabric and will likely hold up better than a super stretchy pair of jeans or a polyester dress. The thing with fast fashion is it encourages people to buy new clothes every week (because they launch new styles every week) and it goes on sale so often that people buy SO MUCH of it that they don't end up wearing half of it.
I check the label of everything I buy because I don't like buying polyester/acrylic/nylon and a lot of clothing in fast fashion is made of those materials, but if I found a great pair of jeans or a beautiful cotton/linen dress that fit me perfectly then I would buy it, wear it all the time and keep it for years. I think you just have to be a lot pickier with what you buy from fast fashion brands because the good quality items that will last are harder to come by and can be difficult to spot if you don't know what you're looking for (or how to do basic repairs).
If we choose to engage with it, we all have to grapple with the fact that fast fashion retailers (and may high end ones too) use extremely underpaid (mostly) female labour from developing countries in their garment factories. The flip side is that we can't expect people living all over the world in different circumstances to all be able to afford more expensive non-fast fashion not only for themselves, but if they're parents then for their children too (who of course grow out of clothing very quickly). It's the reality of the world we live in that we now expect clothes to be affordable even though we know where they come from and what happens in order to make them affordable. Is it right? No, of course not. I don't know what the solution is but I personally try to just be really mindful about what I buy, and I focus mostly on quality/materials and buying the right piece for me rather than where it comes from, and I figure at least I am minimising my own consumption (and therefore contribution to this system) in that way.
In my country Zara is definitely a quality brand. Not luxury but relatively high end. Same with H & M
Totally agree with this. But the one manufacturered product that did change my life was my sewing machine. That changed my whole relationship with beauty and fast fashion.
When you realize that every article of clothing is sewn by a human, and you learn how much friggin work it is to sew a garment, and you recognize how spectacularly underpaid those humans sewing fast fashion garments are, it completely reframes the whole industry
Me too!! Really makes you evaluate fashion differently. Happy sewing!
@@supernova622 aren't some mass production clothes machine made?
Everytime I walk by a store without walking in, everytime I pick up an item from the shelf, then put it back after determining that I don't need it, every day that I put off buying something or not buying anything at all, I consider it an act of civil disobedience, a middle finger to big corporations. Everytime I embrace my middle aged face and body and celebrate all those in my life who have gained wisdom and insight through sheer trials and tribulations, is embracing all that is true, good, and authentic in the world.
I sometimes think I'm a teenager on the inside... because I also love to frame it like that - it can be a radical thing to use/like what we have/are already. take that, beauty industry, I'm cool enough with my lipstick from 2 winters ago, I'm not buyying your PSL-flavoured future trash!
Totally agree, I'm subscribed to so many companies' emails so that if I decide to purchase something I might be able to find a code in a recent email, but otherwise don't open them and laugh at the subject lines: You won't want to miss this!! Going fast!! Sold out in two days last time!! Limited supply!! End of season!! Ahhhh!!!!! Always screaming about how I just have to buy everything now now now! 🖕🖕 It is totally an act of rebellion to say "Yes I want this thing. It will still be there in a month when my budgets reset" and then wait the month to buy or not buy at all. Also 100% so over beauty products ugh
To your first point, I'd like to know WHO convinced us so effectively that crow's-feet and gray hair are unattractive. They're *changes*, sure, and that can be startling. But they're also freaking gorgeous features!
I am definitely having a hard time accepting my under eye wrinkles, however my abject laziness surrounding cosmetics etc made it so dying my hair never even occurred to me. I started getting white strands of hair very young and they have increased in number in recent years, clustering at my right temple specifically and creating the conspicuous "skunk streak". There is not a week that goes by where someone doesn't compliment my hair and the greyer it gets the more compliments I receive. I'll take it!
Men.
this has been a great series to pull in those of us who are interested in makeup/beauty but then also discuss topics that apply so broadly to all shopping habits in a helpful way. in all areas of my life, i appreciate the reminders that there is no perfect product, and that even if there were- there's nothing wrong with me that i need a product to fix!
We have loved this series too
@@thefinancialdiet as a guy I don't get fooled by beauty products, all I need is shampoo and soap.
I guess if you have no beauty you don't need those products.
Just found 2 "new" extra soft from wear flannel nightgowns at a thrift store for $5 to replace those I got at goodwill 25 years ago and wore into rags. Delight.
"If I could shop my way out of restlessness...change my habits...thought process....doubt" That so hit home. I fall into that trap on the daily and am trying to reframe and change that habit. Thank you for the video!
One of the better life skills I picked up, I suppose in Girl Scouts but also through a lot of trial and error on my own, is fixing clothes. Repairing buttons is easy. Fixing small holes is a bit more challenging. Making a seamless patch requires some know-how and the equipment (iron on patch, good iron that can get hot, a sewing machine in some cases.) I've even ventured into doing my own alterations on clothes I got on sale, turning a pair of Tall jeans into a pair of Mediums for myself that fit perfectly, and adjusting a cute dress to fit my pear shaped body much better than off the rack. But for the purposes of keeping good clothes around and not needing to replace them, being able to do your own minor sewing fixes can save SO MUCH MONEY.
I concur!! I've even taken in stretched out bras, thus doubling their lifespan!
How do you make trousers shorter with just a little sewing kit and maybe an iron?
@@Fandoms4Life Fold the helm of the pant leg up once or twice, and then baste it in place with a contrasting thread. Iron it flat, and once ironed, use a matching thread for a more permanent stitch in the correct location. You don't need to cut anything to shorten trousers. You can even fold them outside for a chic, more casual look.
Sales create a big motivation to spend. I gave Bath and Body Works my email after I went to their end of the year candle sale. I learned a big thing through their promo emails: sales of equal or very similar price value happen multiple times each season. Therefore you don’t need to fall for the scarcity mindset that these end of year blowout sales create
Okay I definitely agree with some of this video. My issue with the beauty industry is that when I find something I like-which is hard with extremely sensitive skin and eczema and fragrance free. The company or product gets discontinued. I had the same skin routine for nearly a decade and when I the company folded I had to start from scratch. Since then every time I find a product I like something happens like the discontinue the fragrance free version or they change the formula and my skin feels like it’s burning. I would happily use the same skincare for the rest of my life but few products have that lifespan especially in the skin sensitive world.
I'm tied of the same thing in perfume industry. They make too much for one person to even try, and they market it like it's the next legendary perfume, but it almost never is. The shopping assistants are there not to help you find something incredible that you'll love, but to sell the new release, and they really dislike it when you have an opinion. Not a jab at every one of them, but it has been my experience with many stores in different cities
Thank you so much for saying this… I had to watch this video twice. The beauty industry will have you to believe that more is better, but I tend to watch UA-cam influencers that “declutter” and think to myself “what a waste”, especially when some of their products are unused! All because they thought buying a product would change their lives or was on the hunt for that “perfect” shade or “perfect” shoe or “perfect whatever”! I have gotten caught in the trap of looking for that “holy grail” foundation that will change my life, only to get stuck with a half dozen foundations and I only use one or two of them lol.
Lie #3 is exactly what social media algorithm are doing. “If you watch this, you may want to watch this” or “people who watch this video like you also like this other video”. And that’s how our social media feed became boring. Even the “explore page” on IG and “new to you” tab on YT is full of similar things we’ve seen/liked before.
One thing that gets me is how make-up/ skincare trends jump on the same bandwagon. Like they all started doing watermelon, or charcoal, and like right now is Hyaluronic acid. Everything has Hyaluronic acid. My skin dislikes it, and it would get all red, and irritated. Now I have to find stuff with out it, and it’s even in shampoo. 😩
I'm feeling gently called out on the lie of the perfect red lipstick that will change my life and turn me into a productive artist. I already have a universal red, a brick red and a berry red. They are perfect. And I can choose to become an artist with or without wearing lipstick! ha!
I've gone crazy trying to find the perfect red. I'm warm toned and I've got 2 orangeish Reds, one blue toned red, three neutral Reds, two maroon or burgundy-ish shades and i don't feel like any of them are "perfect". Ive got 4 more matte red shades. 🥲
Nothing is perfect
To be honest there are products that have changed my life for the better 😂 Period underwear for example - finally I don't have to worry about accidentally staining my chair at the office! Also epilator, air fryer, instant pot, boat bristle hair brush etc etc... But agreed most of it is definitely not more makeup or clothes! I would look 100 percent better if I just lost weight, rather than a new contouring palette haha
I use Tampons since I was 13 and I never had accidents... Doesn't it stink when you sit in your own warm blood for hours?
@@CordeliaWagner I've definitely had leaks while wearing tampons too (though I have gone back to pads after hearing about toxic shock syndrome, just to be safe!) The underwear is in addition to pads/tampons/menstral cups for those dangerous days when you have to sit through a high intensity work meeting, your period suddenly floods but you're not able to excuse yourself without offending the other attendees. Idk I imagine other people have had this experience lol it can't just be me
@@doctordonnanoble It’s definitely not just you and I’ve considered those new period panties recently for night time use.
@@doctordonnanoble have you found a menstrual cup that works? They are painful for me.
@@Whoknows-mf1cv There's a great video by SustainablyVegan where she talks about the various types and links a quiz to help you find the best brand for your body.
"Hot loneliness" is what Pema Chodron calls this feeling underneath the busyness of life. Like sitting in a pot of boiling water. It is horrendous! But the good news is that it is totally human and normal. I highly recommend any of Pema's books for further inquiry. As usual, some deliciously radical $hit, Ms. Poston.
Lie #3, omg! This happened to me with a pair of Levi’s. LOVED how they fit, bought the same style in a different color and they didn’t even fit the same. I don’t like them.
Omg Hannah on here again?! I love her!!! Because of her I began my 2020 no buy year. It went well until the pandemic hit, and I went back to shopping mode. I’m planning on doing a no buy year for 2023. Regarding topic on hand… spot on, thanks!
I liked the point that you mentioned about that something being old and still functioning well, is not a bad thing at all!
We don't need to buy a new thing just because what we have is old!
Just like how it can save $ to learn what clothing colors and silhouettes work with your body, it can help to figure out your skin type, undertone, and face, eye, lip, cheekbone etc. shape to know which skincare products, makeup colors, finishes, and techniques work for you. I love colors, but focus on cool colors and ignore warm toned palettes. I also evaluate the holes in my palette and will likely seek individual eye shadows instead.
I feel the same way about the beauty subscription boxes. Yes, the products are a lot less than retail, but I have so many things I haven't used so I don't buy them anymore
Omg Hannah! I was so shocked to see you here on TFD! Congratulations 🍾! Im glad you’re part of this community.
This reminds me so much of a conversation I had with a friend years ago. If we could just move here, then we'd be happy. This town is what make us miserable. Light bulb. You will still be you somewhere else. Self work can make much more of a change in your happiness than a change of venue.
This is one of the best TFD videos I’ve seen in a long time! I am going to show this to everyone - boyfriend, BFF, and my mom.
highly highly recommend jessica defino's newsletter The Unpublishable (mostly free) for more content like this!!! and Aja Barber as well!! also so excited to see another Hannah video. all 3 of these ladies have helped me really further myself from the toxicity of over-consumption and the programming of the beauty and fashion industries!
Thanks for the Aja barber suggestion!
Omg yes, I've learned so much from Jessica Defino! She would make an excellent guest on TFC as well
@@ariesmry no problem!!
@@kabkabkabkab3886 yesss!!! agreed!!
As a trans guy, buying a binder, packer and harness actually helped me shake off some of the doubt I was feeling about my own gender identity, which became foundational to me building a healthy confidence. Often buying gender affirming clothing does change trans folks lives. Of course, that's an uncommon situation, and what you said in the video is definetely true.
My antidepressants actually fit the definition of "something you can buy and it can change your life". As do many medicines for many people
Yes she is speaking of clothes, makeup, homewares. Not medication. She goes a lot more in depth on her own channel :)
LOVE this! such important points for discussion especially now when everything is shiny and new, right not, all the time 👏
I am definitely guilty of keeping some make-up items longer than is technically safe 😅 mostly just my mascara, everything else i keep until it stop performing the way I want.
A quintessential HLP video 👏 I adore the bit about aging, but this whole video is gold.
I love this so much! I'm usually pretty good about spending, but my life has been thrown into chaos recently and this was much needed!
Love Hannah SO much! She has completely changed my thinking when it comes to over spending and loving what we already have
‘Sold the lie that we lose value over time’ mind blown!
This kind of depth is what I miss in much of the beauty content on YT. I wonder if the comment, "You look old" or "You look older than your age" will ever be considered a compliment to the majority of people over the age of 20? Seems like a fear of dying is at the heart of this fear of aging and looking older.
People are willing to go under the knife to look younger, a process which kills a certain number of people each year. I think that the fear of “looking old” is about being less relevant or somehow invisible as we age. As a middle-aged woman, I can tell you that I become more invisible each year. It’s actually a relief to walk down the street without dealing with unwanted attention, but if your self-worth is based on attention, particularly male attention, becoming invisible is traumatic.
I watch these two channels separately, have for a while, and I absolutely love this crossover! It's fabulous!
Thank you for giving me more words to describe what I like most about my thirties. Getting to a place where I'm more confident with what I have and happy about choices I made three years ago has really given me more of the stability and safety to feel happy and content.
Fantastic video, as usually delivered by HLP. She brings a unique depth to consumerism. Please, bring her back once the series is over!!
This was great...so much wisdom. Not to mention the beautiful top you have on. 🙂
Thanks for a great video. 👍💖
Thank you for this. This is something we are all fighting. Makes you think. I have to stop spending so much.
LOVING this series!! So relatable
SUCH a good vid. #2 hit HARD. Thank you.
No lies here! So helpful, thank you!
The best thing I did was track my products with an app and get a professional makeup consult. I can monitor what I have, expiration dates, and it made me realize how little I used. The makeup artist made recs based on what liked and what worked well for me. As a result my collection is down to a CC cream, a setting powder, 2 blushes, mascara, and a few lipsticks. The only time I get new products is when out or expired.
What app do you use to track your products?
This was such an intelligent and well put together reflection, thank you.
So beautifully said. Thanks for having HLP as a guest on TFD.
the first point is honestly so good, i had to pause the video and think about it for a while.
such good things to remember! thank you hannah!
You are sooo good! I love listening to you. Thank you
This is extremely good advice. It's good overall advice for putting your mental energy as much as possible into things that hold true value, and helpful strategies for stopping the habit of investing things that have no meaning... with enough mental energy to put you off balance. This video's about shopping for beauty products, but it's a pretty straightforward metaphor for a lot of other things that distract a person from working on the self.
Thank you! I needed to hear this today!
Great video, fabulous message!!
Loving ‘The Beautiful Budget’ so far!
Absolutely adore this video! You explained this so incredibly well, I was hooked throughout the whole video… so many interesting points brought up that I haven’t seen anyone else talk about.
I feel lucky that I personally, didn’t buy as much into some of those lies. Of course I sometimes did, but then I often felt guilty after buying something because I wondered whether I actually need it. My main issue is that I have a lot of things that I haven’t bought myself, the majority of my (huge) beauty collection were gifted products and I struggle to use them all up. I give some away that I like less but there are still SO many things I love and want to use up that I can’t give them away, yet I know that I won’t be able to reasonably use them up before they expire. A very unusual „problem” to have, but I wonder if you have any tips on how to deal with this?
great podcast. deeply insightful and relevant. love
Just noticing you are wearing a shirt made out of a Frida themed print fabric and I have a piece of fabric that I bought second hand online that is essentially the same exact Frida themed printed fabric as your shirt. I partake in Frida worship!!! 🫶🏼
Enjoyed the commentary. Thank you!! Now the shirt or dress she is wearing is beautiful.
Loving this series!!!! Congrats TFD team!!!
Love Mz. Poston. Also, that Frieda shirt is everything.
Those same thoughts you have about the lipstick have gotten me out of coloring my hair probably hundreds of time at this point.😅
Wow, that was wonderful 💜
This is my favorite Hannah X TFD video so far 😍
watching this for my friends! Still super helpful
This was so good
🤣🤣 I thought this video skipped to the next one on my watchlist when Hannah came on. She has such a great channel!
This was hard to hear but it needed to be said! We can't let our possessions own us
really recommend the newsletter on substack called "unpublishable" the creator talks about lies of beauty industry, starting from ingredients in skincare completed with advertisement lies.
Great video!
Incredible, mind-blowing vid!
I need to watch this 3 more times.
I love your wise thoughts about aging, Hannah. Thank you.
I've been loving this series, but I must say; every time the Amazon Prime days rolls around, that nugget ice maker seems like it might be life changing.
Hooray Hannah! 😻😻😻
A little over half way and I have some thoughts.
1. Love the buy to last philosophy. Do you think cheaper items can last? I have shirts from Ross that are 15 years old. Is that just an iteration of quality?
2. Does the philosophy for nothing can change your world apply only in beauty? For instance a new cooking gadget can and has saved me time, given me access to recipes that I might not have tried before, and generally made me happier. It doesn't cause an extreme jump. And I do return to baseline. But it's a quiet baseline that has changed. Much like if you workout unless you're vigilant you will plateau. But it's still a much higher baseline than someone who doesn't.
3. You can't change who you are, I half agree you can't change your personality through materialism. But what about the way you are treated and the opportunities you get? Attractiveness (pretty privi****) is a scientific concept. Granted, there are ways that might be simpler and more efficient/cost effective to do so (know your body shape, shop thrifted, learn how makeup works and use strategically instead of liberally) You're still you but you are an elevated version.
4. Based on that, can't the message of creating a stunning version of yourself be antithetical to the concept of buying things because you feel bad? In the thought of you like yourself but you want to improve?
Agreed! ❤your kitty 🐱 adorable! My two boys are the best thing I "own" and always make me happy great video!
Great video. Nice Frida blouse.
Loving the FRIDA shirt ❤
I love this channel 🥰
Beautiful!
Few things I wished this video addressed:
1. Sometimes NEW IS better than OLD, for instance when companies come up with newer and better formulations. New products VS buying a used beauty product on the second hand market - it's not hygienic and can put your health at risk.
2. Beauty products CANNOT be made to last because those types of ingredients are damaging to the skin and our health
Great video :3
Low cost doesn’t just mean fast fashion. It could simple brands and not top brands. Like my decathlon leggings and joggers have lasted me more than 4 years with pretty regular use. It is functional and really good price.
Almost 1 million subscribers Chelsea!
You're so terrific. I'm grateful to TFD to leading me to you. I don't wear make up; I'm more interested in your no-buy and fashion (and philosophical wisdom) videos. Plenty of good stuff in your videos for someone who only puts products on her skin that are actually food. If I'm not willing to eat it I don't spread it on my skin.
Hannah your shirt! (Dress?)!🤩😍
Love your takover ❤❤❤
Do not let the beauty industry fool you.
you are amazing
“The only thing I have brought home that has actually changed my life is my cat.” Yeasssss! ❤🐈⬛
MY 2 FAVORITES!!!
I think that the most powerfull tool to cut spendings on beauty products is realizing ourselfs that they are FMGC. So they are always temporarily on our drawers, we would always have to buy new and new items, when we would be out of them (like out of shampoo and so on), so it is impossible to keep the same item forever or even for a very long time (like clothings may be or furniture etc.). We need to accept they are more or less like butter or carrot in our fridges.
