kathleen, i know i always say this, i am so happy that even if you have so many subscribers, you still remain so honest and true to yourself. i don't see that many youtubers who will not go ham in buying all the luxury products... stay sweet and real❤️
ALSO PART 2 PLS❤️
Yesssssssss I need to try that Guerlain foundation!!
Ugh I love u Rachel and I love that u watch Kathleen 😍😍
Same!! My two fav youtubers !!!!!!!!❤️
Rachel yesssss!
That's so fun when youtubers you like watch other youtubers you like!
I would never buy this makeup but for some weird reasons I love watching luxury makeup videos!
same lmao
same 😂
agreed!
Same- bring on part 2!!
o
Yes to part two! I like all kinds of makeup, and I like hearing about luxury products. I don't think it's bad to show/review expensive products every once in a while. It's fun to see more than just drugstore items 👍🏻
'das espensive' needs to be on a shirt haha!
Hahaha i love that
but the t shirt cant be effpenisfff lol
I would get that
OMG! It drives me crazy to hear it! LOL
you dont like it? lol
you are one of the people on UA-cam beauty guru that everytime I watch makes me laugh and giggle.. everytime...I love you Kathleen keep being you
please do part 2 I wanna knowwwww
I'm eternally grateful for your humble personality! I can't express my appreciation for your modesty... Some of these youtubers that make videos... are all of a sudden snobbish, and pretentious only using luxury brands... *coughs* *(TATI)*
I know:( I am so afraid she is gonna so these videos all the time now cuz everybody is all part two part two!. damn it! I never thought this would happen with Kathleen :(
LOL why is it so bad that she is using luxury makeup? She is being herself and just reviewing luxury makeup, there is nothing wrong with that. She will still stay true to herself but a luxury makeup video here and there isn't a bad thing
Tati has been using luxury products lately but not for tutorials or anything, she reviews them for US. Just like Kathleen bought these with US in mind....
I don't think you have anything to worry about. She collabs quite frequently with Colour Pop.
Its not nice to bash Tati. She's another honest and genuine you tuber just like Kathleen!! Spread love. 😻
Would love to see a dupes video seeing these in action! Half face drugstore, half face luxury anyone??
or luxury vs high end!
was about to suggest the same thing!!!!!
How about a dupe for both! Yes please
I would never buy luxury makeup BUT I just adore watching you, soooooooooooooo you can do a 2nd, 3rd or a thousand video about it and I will still enjoy it!!!
I wouldn't mind watching the second part. Been thinking about the Giorgio Armani foundation, but a bit iffy about it since it's so expensive. Love you!!!
I love hearing about luxury makeup, and reviews especially because it means I can decide if it's actually worth potentially saving up for. I would love to buy luxury makeup, but obviously not really viable on a student budget. One day I will no longer be a student and might be able to afford more. I mean currently I have to save up just for high end, sometimes even for more expensive drug store products.
Also would totally love to see part 2
me too girl, me too !!
Me too!! I save up for a few awesome high end.. I like hearing about mid range dupes too.
Yes part to and I love super long Kathleen videos
Part two
PART TWO!!!
Totally agree with you, but wouldn't it be even better, if Kathleen includes each price by editing it in? I would really appreciate this for part two
Exactly. When you say, "It's not worth the money," tell us the amount so we can either be horrified with you or start saving. Please:)
I know right
Omg that extended 'Das expensive' 😂😂😂😂😂
I always appreciate your honesty in your product reviews❤️
i LOVE videos like this! pls do part 2!
your brows look incredible in this video btw!
ikr!
Her brows in this video. Love!
Curious to see part 2 because of YSL and Chanel!
same
It's so refreshing to see a youtuber being totally honest about this luxury makeup. I have a couple of you tubers that I used to watch constantly but now all they seem to use is high end or luxury makeup, and talk down about drugstore makeup, however any luxury products I have tried I have never been wowed about. I'm main stream in my make up. I love Too Faced, Urban Decay, some Mac, love Makeup Geek eyeshadows above any other, plus I have some drugstore products that I just love.
I love these types of videos they're so helpful when trying to decide if a product is actually worth the moola lol
same and kathleen is so honest x
Your makeup is so pretty! Please do an affordable/dupe tutorial (since you used the Tom Ford eyeshadow) 💕😍
Totally agree-Kathleen always looks beautiful, but I love this soft, fresh face today!
Yes! I'd love to see a tutorial on this look with the luxury products, and then with dupes of affordable products and see how they look side by side!
I'm going to try to look for dupes in my collection!
+KathleenLights it doesn't even have to be this exact look imo. Just comparing affordable dupes would be great... like are these luxury items actually better?
+KathleenLights yEsss
YES, I love how brutally honest you are, and I love that you review more luxury brands, because when you spend that kind of money you want to be sure it's good :o I would definitely want to see part 2 of this video :D
And by the way (I left the comment before finishing the video) I have oily skin and I tried the La Prarie powder foundation after watching Serein Wu review it - and let me tell you, I love it. It gives full coverage as Kathleen says, but it also melts perfectly into the skin and gives me a natural matte finish. After wearing it a couple of hours, it looks more semi-matte. Just wanted to mention that for all the girls with oily skin wanting to try a very good luxury powder foundation. I myself got 20% off of it, and that helps :)
How do you apply it? Do you use the sponge that comes with it or a brush?
I apply it with the sponge that comes with it - it works great! It doesn´t get caky or powdery or anything. I have also tried it with a brush to do lighter touch ups during the day, and that is also completely fine :) I haven´t tried to apply it with a brush though, because I like the full coverage it gives with the sponge due to my redness, but I can imagine it will look beautiful and more natural with a brush :)
Girl... I don't care what video you make... You are just fun to watch.... Whatever your skin is going through does not make you less beautiful inside and out.... So many of us Malaysians love you!
please do the part 2! always love watching your videos (I have combo skin tho) it's so entertaining 😂😂😍
Oh! I just uploaded my FIRST VLOG in my channel! Please go and take a look! 👍 Thank you so much! 😍
YAY!!You actually answered many of my questions on three products that I had really been wanting to buy and since we have the same skin type I know I can take your recommendations. THANK YOU 💋
PART 2!!!!!
Yes to part 2!! I have been loving YSL lately and want to see what you've tried!!
I think YSL lipsticks are the most gorgina lipsticks out there. I also have the YSL fusion ink foundation but it's so thick and it's supposed to be just medium coverage.
+Ashleigh Sanders "gorgina" Omg OKbaby 😍
I really appreciate how you took the time and planning into buying the luxury products and then wearing them for months. You're able to give a full review and are really invested in the content you create :)
Part two! Part two! Part two! Part two! Part two! Love you Kathleen! 😊
You always look amazing glad to see you are doing well. I can't afford that makeup but it's always fun to see the different makeup I have never heard of before. There is always dupes out there..... 😀
Got to say I love love love your hair
I think she is the most genuine fav UA-cam
And not being like those subscribers that like to kiss ass
No u can tell she's real
Try Gucci makeup
so true
I met her this weekend and I would 2nd this 100%. She is very genuine in person as well!
Hi Kathleen xx just wanted to say your videos are bomb. There's no bullshit, you get straight to the point and your videos are actually so helpful!! You're so lovely as well. u so awesome xo
and pweetty :) :)
ALSO, really wanna see part 2
Yes pretty please part 2! 💋 Thank you so much Kathleen!
That's how Arabs say cologne too! I'm dying 😂
Yes, part 2 please! 😍 I have to hear your opinion on Charlotte Tilbury matte revolution lipsticks!!! They are the bomb for me and the Very Victoria shade is my MLBB. 😍👌
PS. I feel like Guerlain Radiance Concentrate works best on mature skin? 😊
That's what I was thinking. What's there to firm? Silly youngster. Wait till your my age and then try it. I know I can trust what she says when it comes to dry skin though. And she's not only adorable but she also makes me laugh every time. Love her vids.
Yes and Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes Mascara!
I loved this video. I'm not sure how much luxury makeup I'll ever buy (I'm sure I will someday) but its nice to see reviews to know if its worth it or not. The only thing I would have liked to see from this video is the prices! Either listed in the description box or somewhere in your video! You started telling the prices and then stopped. Anyway I really enjoyed this video..pretty much anything you put up Kathleen lol. Okay, sorry for writing a novel. Much love! xoxoxo
Oh and put up part 2!
:D
OMG please please please pretty please upload part 2! I live in Brazil and pretty much everything around here goes from high end to luxury (even Revlon and Maybelline can go crazy with some prices) and drugstore items are practically non-existent (our cheaper brands can be quite awful as well)... so I'm always watching videos to see what's worth the money and I haven't done bad whenever I followed your opinion! Love you, Kat! I truly love your channel as well!
First DAS EXSPEEEENNNNNNNSIVE AND TWO YOU SHOULD MAKE THIS INTO A SERISE OF VIDEOS THAT WOULD BE AWESOME
YASSSSSSSS
YASSS
I luv when she says that!
I love her so much & It really makes me feel bad that she feels like she needs to explain herself so much now because she cares about the negative comments , I just don't know why anyone would ever want to be negative here , she's the sweetest person ever and I haven't even met her lol . I Just feel like she's super humble . Btw Kathleen don't stop speaking about your new diet please ! I have about 4 months without eating meat and sometimes I get tempted & I feel better when you speak about it .
It's so funny that you and Tati uploaded similar videos and around the same time! Great video, super helpful!
I liked Kathleen's video a lot. I am a fan of Tati, but I feel like she's not as ready to give harsh reviews to luxury brands. Even on videos reviewing products that she described as just okay, or having had certain issues with, she will still say she likes it at the end. I think Tati is more afraid to give bad reviews to big brands and potentially burn a bridge to work with them in the future.
Love how you did these videos, Kathleen! All luxury in 2 quick kicks. One of my favorite youtubers has taken to doing 3 out of 5 videos as luxury or unrelatable ($200 primer?). I can go for those once in a while, but not 3 of 5 vidoes. The way you did it works to let us know in quick about the products. Yet your channel isnt saturated with them.
"That's not expensive, that's EXPEEEEEEEEE..." You crack me up, Kathleen
I don't know why, but your brows look sooooo good in this video!! (in every video don't get me wrong ;), but today I was like... wow!😍) x
wow now you talk about the product! I guess it works!! ;)
Please don't ever change ❤️❤️❤️
Oh and this video was interesting but for me.. Just as a one time thing. I prefer that your channel is relatable
+Mariam S. not trying to like start a fight of anything but for some people it is relatable because some people can buy these or save up to buy these so I just wanted to let you know that some people do like these often because they are relatable
I think she meant relatable to most people. I don't mind if she does more of these videos, but most people can't afford it nor shouldn't feel like they need to save up for ridiculously priced makeup. It's fun occasionally but it already starts to feel like there is no way anyone will ever buy all the makeup they want as it is, even if the max you would spend is $40 on a foundation. What got me was watching someone who got a $1000 GC to Sephora as a prize, and while watching the haul realizing how little she got :-/ That's nuts.
Yes, I just meant relatable to me
Kathleen I love your honesty! Your lovely personality shines through - and you are a joy to watch! Please keep making these earnest, genuine vids - where your beautiful personality shines right through. You are an inspiration to the makeup world of UA-cam!!! I wish all of the other UA-camrs were as genuine as you. Your a doll!!!
YASSS PART TWO PLEASE
YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
Im glad you did this video because some of us can't use drugstore because of allergies/being easily irritated. The only thing drugstore that doesn't irritate me is NYX and sometimes that can even irritate me. Everything else breaks me out, makes my eyes irritated causing styes/itchiness, etc.
i use a lot of Mary Kay mineral makeup (eyeshadows blushes and powders) i also like Almay eye stuff and physicians formula and Mary Kay concealer
LOL dying over 'das expenseeeeeeeeeee' hahaha
and yes part 2 please!
Try another Tom Ford palette. I don't have many Luxury products, but my Tom Ford quad in Golden Mink is definitely one of my favourite items of makeup I own. The glittery shades are amaaaaaazing.
I literally live for your saying "das espensive" 😂😂❤️
I dont even like luxury product but i watch these videos anyways cuz ur videos are soo fun lol ❤️
And i love ur catch phrase "DASS ESSPENSIFFF"
Yessss part 2 please! I work for Chanel and I want to see your opinion on it :) I love my Chanel makeup and skincare it cleared my acne
Omfg Kathleen and Tati supporting each other is the cutest thing ever and I love to see youtubers genuinely promoting each other.
Part 2!!! Part 2!!!!!!
where are you from ?
Being a college student keeps me from buying luxury products, but I just love hearing you talk about makeup!
I wish you wouldn't rush through your videos. I (and I'm sure many other followers) would be so happy with 40 minute videos😂💕
I vote part 2!
I know that she was not feeling well but at least should give more time just because of the price to see if anybody is interested just to see how they work.
yes a pt 2!!!! love the difference in videos with high-end vs. luxury vs. drugstore it's nice to cover a brand spectrum!!!!
At first with the Tom Ford lipstick when you put "LMAO the dog hair" I was reading it thinking it was the name of the lipstick hahaha Thank you so much for doing this video! I've been wondering what luxury makeup is really worth the money and this helped me out a lot. Love your videos! :)
I laughed right out loud when I saw that.... I thought WTH kinda name is THAT for makeup?? Then I realized.... 😯😉
Me also😂😂😂
I wanna see part two please! I love seeing honest opinions on expensive makeup. Even though I'll never afford it haha
"Oh mah goot dis is espensive " 😂😂😂 I love Kathleen so much
Part 2 please! I totally agree with you that I prefer the same quality and sometimes BETTER quality makeup for cheaper, BUT, I do enjoy watching, reading about, etc. luxury makeup!
you're always beautiful kathleen but your aura today is different😍😍😍
yes I think so too! but she seems very happy that's all that matters
Yes I was thinking the same thing!! she was just glowing and beautiful
Das espeeeeeeeeeeeensive LOL love it! As always thanks for being real and true to your opinion. Looking forward to part 2
part two for sure!!!
I adore the intro of this video and the way you approached this kind of video and products. i find myself totally agreeing with you. i think it's insane, non-ethical and absurd how much some products cost and i can't afford most high end ones, go figure these luxury ones (today i had to turn down some ud palettes) but i wouldn't buy any makeup over a certain price range anyway cause i think it's not right to and not worth it to spend your money that way, and i'm so happy that someone finally spoke my mind about price not necessarely meaning quality and about not necessarely being sad not to afford them. that what makes you the down to earth, real, honest, humble, one of us youtuber that everybody loves. i now respect you even more.
I ALREADY KNOW I WANT PART 2 CAUSE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU USED FROM YSL!
Also that Guerlain foundation is LIFE!
I'd really like to see part 2 too💄💋love you😘
EXPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I LOVE YOU 😂😂😂
loool that's what i wanted to say.... love when she cried "expeeeeeen.." part 2 please... i hope she test some Chanel or Dior quads or quints whatever.
hahahaha yes i watched that part several times lol...hilarious
I died laughing! Yes part 2 please!!!
Yes yes part 2....😍😘😘😘
I just had to throw this out there..I LOVE the fact that you are harder on luxury makeup brands because of the price tag, I see SO many youtubers who criticize drug store makeup when if it had MAC or NARS label on it they are LESS hard on the makeup, whereas I would expect it to be the other way around..I would have a way higher standard for the expensive makeup not the drug store. So thank you for this REAL review!
This helps me not purchase a bunch of makeup. That I really don't need. Thank you Kathleen!
Plz do a Part 2! I love the products you mentioned and own a lot of the brands.
Hahaha,OMG,the way she said that's expeeeeeeeeeen...😂😂😂😂 you made my day😂😂 that's why I love you and your videos and thiink, that you're the beest blogger in youtube😂😍😍❤️
Guerlain Lingerie de Peau foundation is LIFE! It is my most favorite foundation EVER. Great video, Kathleen!!
It is doubtful I will buy these brands, but I love hearing about them! Yes for a part 2!!!
I think most luxury brands' products aren't super pigmented because they go for more of a minimal makeup look that most middle-aged women would prefer, rather than the more popular instagram, heavy-makeup look that the younger population is into.
Yes I agree !!
Yes, so true! My mom has taught me that. When I apply eye shadow, I want it to be very opaque. My mom prefers a sheer wash of color.
100% true! Luxury brands have more of a "glowing from within" type of look
True!!! 👍🏼
This clearly shows you have very little experience with high end/luxury make-up; I only buy luxury make-up; they are generally very pigmented. I'm not a brand snob, but what you have to understand is that you're not just paying for the name; there's a reason the product costs more; the ingredients and formers they use are of higher quality and more expensive. So you get better pay off and longevity. I actually know people who work in the industry on a scientific/production level. Of course, there are crap products even in the luxury range; sometimes they get it wrong.
um YES i want to see part 2! those are the brands im the most interested in!
When you're watching videos from last year... lol you still look so fresh and beautiful just like here. Your makeup hasn't change in a good way. UA-camrs change so much over time and you remain the same. 😍😍😍💕💕💕
Yes to part two!
Part two please!!!!!!
Part 2 please 😘 thank you
Part 2 and then part 3 and 4
Not interested in luxury makeup but it's you so I'm watching :)
Yesss part two !! Lol :)
Man I LOVE Tom Ford Nude Dip! It's so easy, like good for a day I need a no brainer eye look. To be fair, I can get a similar effect from my beloved ELF baked eyeshadow trio! Love you Kathleen, I love how you think of everyone and review all different types of makeup! Thanks!
I have no interest in luxury makeup and think the price point is ridiculous... however you better believe I will watch every minute of this video!! I just love listening to your options, and I 100% trust your reviews (just in case i need them for future reference 😂)
(o.s. love your makeup here!x)
I do want to see part 2!! I just bought the Tom Ford liquid eyeliner and love it too. Also just bought Chanel Healthy Glow foundation recently and I'm curious what you think. Chanel foundations seem to change a lot so it's hard to stick with when you fall in love with one. Anyone else feel that way?
Can't even afford luxury products, just here bc I love Kathleen and these kinds of videos
LOL ... Yes do a part two! Charming & entertaining! Every woman should have at least one luxury makeup item that she loves, and you're set for a while there. XOXO
Tom Ford shadows are made to be sheer, it's really similar to the texture of many Japanese makeup. I actually am a fan because a lot of of western shadows are too chunky for me, which makes me look old. But the tom ford shimmers and glitters are one of my favourite because it's sooo fine and sooo smooth. So they are definitely not as pigmented as Too Faced or many other brands.
The last das espeeeen- made my day. 😂
Of course we would love to see a part 2 Kathleen!
I very rarely watch high end videos as far as hauls and reviews. Although I do watch Tati's WTF series. I really enjoyed this because you hardly ever talk about luxury items and I knew you would impose some humor in the situation. Yes - part 2 please
tati had basically brought the tom ford eye defining pen in deeper to the UA-cam community
not nikkie
Why does that matter? If Kathleen found out about it from Nikkie then that's who she will mention. Kathleen gave credit to Tati about another product, so they were both mentioned.
I believe tati raved about it first then Nikkie was in for it and after followed Kathleen, this community is amazing in terms of demonstrating the power of "word of mouth" when it comes to marketing a product 😍
When I saw "lmao the dog hair" I thought that was the name of the lipstick for a sec 😂😂
Same!
I didnt realize it wasn't until I read your comment 😂
You should de-pot luxury and drugstore products and have unassuming friends try to pick the high-end vs drugstore.
Part two please! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I loooooved this, loved the brutal honesty you're doing us such a favor by being so real with the products. I'm one of those girls that falls into the hype of luxury makeup and will save up and buy it if it's really that good and hearing an honest opinion with examples of better products is super helpful! Thanks for taking one for the team Kathleen!👍❤️
its not "negative", it's HONEST opinions! love these vids! part 2 please!
Could you do a "random
Makeup challenge" where u place, for example all the foundation in a box, and the one you pick, is the one you have to use, and so with the other makeup categorys? 🤔😍
YES DO A PART 2!!!
I just rewatched this video & I laughed so hard ...again! I hope you never stop putting in the outtakes at the end... & “That’s not asspensive...THATS ASSSSSPENNNSIVE!!” LoL!!!
Part two!!!! Part two part two part two!😍
3 beauty vlogger I absolutely love Kathleenlights, Tati and RachhLoves. and when they talk about each other I feel more close to them much much love to all of u girls :)
Kathleen, is your skin doing better? I hope so, btw you look stunning at this video 😘
I truly think she always looks stunning actually, one of the most beautiful faces ive ever seen
Brilliant, informative, fair and HILARIOUS. Could watch this little fairy all day long. loved it! 😍😍😍
i love watching all your videos. doesn't matter what it is about. hahahaha
Seriously!!!! lol I love her
so honest, part 2, please.
At 6:59 when you wrote "LMAO-the dog hair" I thought that was the shade of the lipstick (even though I just heard you say it 2 seconds before). That's how my Monday is going haha
yessss part 2! I enjoy these videos bc I love luxury makeup but I own none bc I just can't branch out and buy them without knowing if I'm going to love or not, thanks Kat for investing your money in your subscribers 🙃
