Girl I want your hair. Looks amazing!
Thank you!! 🥰
So true about returning products we don’t love. I almost never end up returning things 😩 yet I always tell myself “oh I can return it if I don’t like it, so I’ll just buy it”
Its tough to overcome!! And yet the rare times I do make a return, absolutely nobody cares. It always impresses me as I practically run through my head the reasons I’m returning it - then they don’t even ask, just “boom here’s your money back” 🤣
Your hair color is stunning!! I do read reviews on multiple sights, then purchase where the product is less expensive or gets me more points. You are not alone!! 💖💖💖
Thank you! ☺️
Same 😂👍🏻
Given our political climate, the best thing about America at the moment is probably Sephora’s return policy.
😭😭😭
You’re right! I will cry tears into my $400/month health insurance bill now 🤧
And that’s saying a lot since they cap you out yearly and what you’re allowed to return.
@@AliceintheRabbitHole the affordable Care act save me. But the sad thing about it is that you essentially have to make under $36,000 a year to get a policy you can afford. So you either have to be dirt poor to get government assistance in this country or you can make just enough to pay $400 a month for insurance that you can't afford that would be better spent on other things. Just imagine if you could actually put that money back into the economy.
interesting and fun. but Seohora is caught in a huge class action lawsuit for manipulating reviews. I've already had an email from the law firm
otherwise I do believe there isn't enough education about hydration moisturizing and occlusives. I got samples of the Sulwhaso serum. divine.
It WAS ridiculously affordable when Obama was in office but then Trump got rid of the mandate and prices skyrocketed. I am actually still grateful as I have had a heart murmur and asthma since I was a child, so I could never get health insurance due to "pre-existing conditions." In the 1990's, all I could get was $600 a month and they would cover NOTHING unless I was in the hospital and only after I paid the $3k deductible because despite being in my early 20's, my pre-existing conditions meant they didn't really want to sell me a policy. It was awful. And in my 20's, working on banking in California, my employers didn't offer insurance.
South Korea is indeed not a diverse country in terms of ethnicity. I think a majority of SK women have skin tones within the range of NC20-30..
And its not just the ethnicity. Ive always felt that people’s beauty standards (skinny body, light skin) and preference for makeup style (natural, no makeup look) also lack diversity.
Thank you for the info! That certainty does make sense as to the shade ranges on yesstyle
Would have loved to review the sk2 reviews 🤣🤣🤣
Those are wild
I absolutely have to check myself when I read one star reviews on things I love, especially if the entire review is about shipping. I use Influenster and Pickey and write honest product reviews. I was introduced to cheez-it spicy puffs from Influenster and I think I hate them for it because I did not need another HG junk food.
Oh gosh right, I’ve definitely yelled at my screen, “just write this review on USPS instead!!” I’m surprised I didn’t stumble upon one of those as I’ve seen soooo many over the years!
Uh oh. I think I would like those too. Cheetos puffs are a guilty pleasure for me 👀
This was a super fun video!
🥰 Thanks for watching!!
0:22 absolutely Alice lol, i watch your moisturizers review on repeat also a while back i was obsessed with best kirean products of all time
I think it's true about cleansing balms. I pretty much always use a clay or foaming cleanser at night, hence I'm not picky about 1st cleansers. It's all coming off one way or the other 😂.
Thank you for confirming my suspicions!!
Way too many comments in my mind about all of the topics you covered!
A company recently gave me some free samples to test, only they were full sized products. They asked me to simply post my reviews on their site. What a strange feeling to know I’m going to share my honest thoughts, but I’d rather not have that minuscule amount of conflict with the person who sent me the products if I don’t love everything. As someone who hates being in conflict with anyone, I feel like this emoji 😬
Loooove you hair. As someone with dark hair unwilling to bleach it, I pine for pretty, colorful hair 😍
I’d say to keep in mind while writing your reviews that people of different preferences will read them. Meaning: there’s a nice way to explain how the product works, who it’s for, who it’s not for - and just an unhelpful review (not that I think you don’t know this lol, but I understand it being more difficult when someone is watching 👀)
Thank you!! I’m having such a blast with it, although I did remember that outside of New Orleans, this is actually seen as a really big change? And sometimes not in a good light 😐 Oh well, I’ll spend a few months trying to destroy stereotypes-again LOL! 😁
The tactcha looks like an allergic reaction to me to pimples just don't really go away over night. I am just ahh on the cleanser it's ok to me not life changing I feel it's alittle drying but I use it a few times a week cause I have it. I hate the GR cleansing balm I don't think u should have to use a stripping cleanser to get rid of a balm infact if I don't always have to double cleanse or can use it in the AM that's even better and I can do that with the pharmacy one. I like the lanige toner I wasn't in love at first but after I started using it again and kept up with it I really enjoyed it, I also think some of the people's issues are whatever their skin is going threw at the moment and it doesn't mean it won't work later unless it burns totally drying or an allergic reaction I feel people maybe should pick it up and try again that's what I do because sometimes it's not a total love for me till later on and other products it's love at first use and I love the products that are love at first use. It's funny most of the products we feel the same way about.
Yes absolutely!! And I think that really is the problem with trying something 4-5 times. Was it 4-5x over 3 days? Because that could have been 3 days of something going on within the skin vs a result of the product. Yeah tbh I just can’t imagine disliking the Laneige toner (allergies aside, though I don’t think I’ve heard of reactions with it - still could happen for someone out there). I think there are good dupes, I think there are different routines that may not benefit from it, but it’s overall a really well done product!
You should do a video on ur makeup routine. I love it.. still so glowy. Would've to know how you do it!
Oh thank you! Yeah that would be a fun video 😍💕
FIRST THING FIRST the red looks soooo amazing today.
Thank you!! 😃
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think it's the combination with that absolutely stellar make-up and that LIP. Whole is greater etc etc!!
Oh thank you so much! It’s one of Gwen Stefani’s new lipsticks (Rosewood St) - I gotta admit I like it, although I know from personal experience that reds aren’t for everyone. Especially these pink reds. But I do indeed love it 🤣
Loved it !!!
So entertaining
And omg love the honey halo moisturizer!!! ( have soooopwr dry skin )
Hey Alice! I was wondering if we could imitate the effects of sk2 by layering it with a 1% aha toner or sth?
I've never used sk2, but i have used all its dupes. Seeing your reviews I'm very tempted to buy it. Bcz i desperately need the pore refining effect.
What combination do you think could imitate the effects of a sk2?
Oooh that’s such a good question. Tbh I’ll have to be over here thinking about it. Because for me, what makes SK-II so darn special is that it does so many different things for my skin all WITHOUT adding actives. Absurdly easy to work into a routine, and yet it helps with glow, pores, hyperpigmentation, acne 🤯
But you’re right, maybe the trick is some kind of layering. I wonder if a PHA/BHA blend might be the trick? Something that gets down into the hair follicle but also resurfaces on the top layers??
Ok ok I promise I’ll keep thinking about it and get back to you (two of the dupes will be in an upcoming empties, so I’ll make it a point to include this chat then!!)
@@AliceintheRabbitHole awww 💗
Cosrx has a galactomyces essence (galactomyces is the main ingredient of sk2) which is really affordable and has good reviews. but unfortunately it doesnt have chem exfoliants like skj2
@@skinnylegend-7330 yes. I noticed that too.
@@SA30.137 Great idea 💡!! I just started layering toners by starting with first toner as a high concentration AHA toner. I had been so trained by The Ordinary about not using AHA's with my peptides and other actives. I now love all my K-Beauty toners and essences and I layer. But something was missing. I get so flaky with Tretinoin. Now, I use a higher concentration AHA/BHA toner, and then go about doing other things to get ready and then come back and do my K-Beauty routine. It seems to really be helping more with texture and flakiness. I still feel like I have to let the AHA's do their thing for a while before I go ham with all my hydrating toners. But I doubt that is really necessary.
**I do love my K-Beauty toners with PHA and AHA but most of mine are such a low concentration. Great for layering for hydration without irritation. I use Cellbone (Hong Kong brand I think) Collagen Toner on a cotton pad that has a high concentration of AHA but is not drying. Now I am going to have to try layering it with my Benton Fermentation Essence.
This was fun. I read one star reviews all the time. I know my experience can differ greatly! You look amazing. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️
Thank you, hope your week is going fantastically too 🥰
id be interested to see a video on the products on the shelves behind you!
Omg your hair is beautiful. I have been trying to decide what color to do mine for fall and red just jumped up a notch on my list.
I loooove doing red. It’s a very strong color, and I find most people love it too. Just very fun and bold!
The only catch is that it almost always fades into pink, and the fact that I’ll be washing purple into it is probably going to make that happen even faster 🤣
I'm curious about what you think of the Mary and May Blackberry cream essence. From the packaging, formulation and some of the ingredients, it seems to be a Blackberry version of the Dr Ceuracle kombucha essence
😱 oh that sounds lovely - I’m going to go check it out!
Your hair is everything.
Shooooot, when it comes to returns, I’m not ashamed to return a product I spent a good amount of money on. And usually that’s the case when I shop Sephora. Like if it’s a product by the ordinary I’ll most likely pass it on to someone I know who could benefit from it. But I bought a very expensive body wash and it dried my skin out. It went back to the store after that first use.
I’m currently so mad at myself for a very expensive Sephora purchase I made too soon. I purchased the volumizing oribe s&c after a hair stylist UA-camr convinced me I needed to use volumizing s&c for my hair type…and since I was already using gold lust, I ordered the set. Unfortunately I waited until I finished my gold lust set to start using the new set and omg it dried my hair and scalp out SO bad and yep, I was past the 30 days to return them. 😩
That’s good!! That policy truly does exist for that reason; it’s unfortunate that too many of us talk ourselves out of very justifiable returns
Is it under 60 days? I believe Sephora will give you store credit! Also is the gold lust performing the same? I’m wondering if something is off with the new set…🤔 if so, Sephora should give a return regardless for damage. I’d go in store and find out!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I liked gold lust. It did not dry out my scalp and give me dandruff lol. And there are reviews saying it dried out multiple ppl’s hair lol.
Oh gotcha, the shampoo and conditioner wee the problem. Ugh that’s so frustrating 😥
I personally think most bad skincare product experience is due to user error. Some people may know what they are looking for their skin (hydration / moisturisation / brightening / soothing and what not). But they dont necessarily pick the right product as we saw in your video where they pick certain products cuz of the high rating.
Happened to me before, i was looking for hydrating moisturiser as my one and done product for busy days but somehow ended up with more nourishing moisturiser cuz i saw so many glowing reviews about it. I was so disappointed with the moisturiser cuz it didnt give me the hydration i need and i already spent the money 😭. So my solution was, simply use the product when i have extensive routine where i separately add hydration with toners/essence and it works wonderfully (tho i still had to look for another one and done moisturiser). And after that i realised that the moisturiser is very good at soothing irritated skin which i would never find out if i -wasnt so desperate to use my money worth- simply stop using it.
Good point. I suspect also that some people don’t know what they are looking for - and oh my, it can be very hard to find the right product in that case!
One thing I find interesting is that people go into the process of buying makeup with the understanding that some amount of skill/technique WILL be a requirement to use the product. That mentality doesn’t always exist with skincare though - and yet it’s very important to understand the core principles of what skincare products can do!
I love the Mitch Hedberg reference in there 😎
I’ll read reviews wherever I can find them. 😂 There are often reviews that make no sense or that don’t apply to the product. I don’t consider them in making my decision. Too bad that they affect the product rating.
Your hair is stunning! Also a guilty pleasure of mine is watching your liquid gold bottle level slowly go up each video 🤣
And I just made another Stratia order today 🙈 (although mostly to put into a giveaway, I’m over here plotting right now hahaha!)
Great video! It goes to show that makeup amd skin care is so very subjective ❤️
It really is! 💕
And your makeup.. you look so good !!!!
I’m so glad you did this video, it was so fun! I found myself agreeing and disagreeing with you and just laughing the whole time.
Haha perfect!! 🤣💕
I'm watching your video with pop corn and a glass of wine :-) thank you!!
Alice! Hi! I definitely enjoyed this video! It’s funny because I was secretly hoping you would read reviews from Cosrx! 🤭
Pt 2: reading Ulta/YesStyle reviews? 🤔
Oh gosh it would probably be sheer pain. Only my top fav of all time LOLLLL, I wonder if I can be as understanding about the product I view as my baby 🤣
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes please! Aww hahaha it will be okay!
I love your hair !!!! 😍
I quite agree !!! Cream Skin & the Honey Halo are my favs too .
This is such a fun video. I have pretty normal non-sensitive skin, but one time, at least 30 years ago, I was heavily into Clinique. For the first time I used the Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion--which is a pretty basic product for Clinique, but my skin had the worst reaction. Overnight I developed small bumps under the skin all over my face. The bumps took at least a week before they disappeared. From then on I have only used an occasional product from Clinique--and only makeup products, never skincare. I usually read product reviews too and sometimes, I decide not to purchase a product after reading negative reviews. I don't know why, but I usually feel the negative reviews are more honest than some of the positive ones.
Oh noooo!! Yeah that’s classic signs of allergy. It’s so frustrating too, given that Clinique is a fragrance-free brand and pretty good at non-irritating formulas. Just proves the complexity of allergies 😭😭
i read the reviews, description, ingredients, etc on yesstyle and then decide where to purchase like stylevana, stylekorean, etc.
Hair is gorg! My fav look on you!
I’m the worst at returning things. I try to just give stuff away at that point because I’m soooo bad at returns.
I let my friend have my extra Tatcha cleanser and she had the same exact reaction the reviewer had. A year ago I liked this cleanser but now I realize how extremely scented and hard to get off as opposed to my other cleansers. I'm extremely surprised you enjoy it. I never would of guessed lol
I’m surprised but also not surprised as I like: super gentle cleansers yes but also…very gentle physical exfoliators. Alternating these is fantastic for my skin, I suspect because I struggle with chemical exfoliation?
And that gentle scrub factor is divine to me haha!
I keep on returning to Huxley's Secret of Sahara Toner Extract II and its Anti-Gravity Cream!
The anti-gravity cream looks soooo nice. I’ll try it someday!!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole it's rather velvety in texture. My only quarrel with it is the bluish tint to the cream which is unnecessary.
I do agree with the honey halo review. I have dry dehydrated skin and while I do enjoy the moisturizer it does seem to be missing something. Is it moisturizing yes... is it hydrating, not really.
Mmhmm I think they’re quite right!! Admittedly it’s very hard for one product to do everything, and I do think that products strength is more in the “repair” aspect!
Extra 👍🏻 for the FAB collagen cream and a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy reference.
Also I just got my hair dyed yesterday and realized when I started the video that it’s a really similar color 😅
Oh hey that’s awesome!! My color is already fading though - the problem of dying it in the summer, then remembering how sweaty these months are. I can’t get past 2 days without washing it 😭😭
Love the hair!
Thank you! 😃
My and my mom both tried the sulwhasoo sleeping mask and didn’t find it to be effective😂 I loved the herbal scent though
I never thought about returning things I honestly didn’t know you could with makeup and skincare. Welp now I know. Fingers crossed I don’t get “the face” from associate. Negative thinking I will assume it will be an ok experience. I love your channel. Articulate and witty
That is exactly what goes through my head I’m considering a return!! I go, “but the store associates will be disappointed in me 🥺🥺”
They never are. It’s nothing for them!
Was wondering if you’ve heard,seen, or got to try the skincare line from Ferver? I think it’s newer and it’s sold at target. Would absolutely LOVE if you checked it out and reviewed it ☺️
Ah I have seen that one! I’ll have to look into it 😍
@@AliceintheRabbitHole yes please!! I think it’s so newer still that no one’s really done anything on it besides ad partnership
Pretty different video. I liked it. So what gets me is people's complete inability to consider anyone else's opinion. I think what's so fascinating about this topic is that it goes so far beyond skin care. Of course this goes into politics and religion, etc. We need to be cognizant the fact that other people have thoughts and feelings and experiences that may differ from our own and we need to respect them. I feel like if we could do this the world would be a much happier place.
Gosh this is SO true. What I can’t figure out is if it stems from a lack of knowledge/understanding or a lack of care. Maybe a bit of both. But it would be such a better world if people thought of others!!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I think it depends on the person. I think the root of the issue is fear. I think people are terrified to think outside of their own bubble and I feel like a lot of people feel that they are not listened to and when you live in a nation that is capitalistic and individualistic people feel forgotten and neglected and then they began to lash out. That's my theory.
Omg I Love Love Love your hair, and the entire look today!! 😍 Gorgeous!!
Thank you! 🥰
You look amazing!!
Good point on using a stripping cleanser after the Glow Recipe Cleansing Balm. Basically that's not for me. You talked me into Not trying it out 🤣
Whew I did not like that one. Or DE’s Slaii. Sooo hard to remove (with my cleansers at least lol!)
Hate to say it, but I am not a fan of the Laneige Milky Toner either..... I have very dry, but not acne prone skin. I am huge fan of the brand, but that toner did nothing for me. I - don't kill me - kinda agree that it felt like expensive water - albeit milky and a bit sticky. PS I am with you that Samm Ravndahl video is a good one.
You are NOT ALONE! I waste so much time cross-shopping( is that a term?), particularly those two! Mainly, I NEED to know I got a good product at a GREAT price... this is indicative of several psychological issues pulling and pushing at the same time! Also, in terms of Laniege , I have tried the lip masque- really nice, but a Tatcha one I got ( certainly in some kind of special) is better. I did get 2 tiny Laniege face night masgues to try from my Stylevana order, haven't tried yet. Not the line that is as exciting to me, though, as some other K-beauty selections..
I do agree. Laneige is nice, but brands like Beauty of Joseon and Isntree knock it out of the park!
Hallo, 🦋. I am loving this. I feel the same when I see products completely destroyed by people. I am so silly I can't even watch one because she was saying how much she hated the UD wild green, which is okay BUT in the same breath just went on and on how great the Milani flora palette was so great . I scratched my head because that palette is awful and no pigment lol. I realized she just wasn't the content creator for my tastes. Also BTW in my save folder for skincare and help I think yours are the most saved and rewatched. This was a lot fun to watch. Proves beauty is so subjective. But I honestly feel when I watch yours it is not this is awful but here is what it is etc. This helps me so much. Tons of appreciation for beautiful you and your fun detailed take.
Ps I love zero cleansers and the oat one from inky list 😂. People stop hating 😂😂🤣
Thank you! Yes, beauty products are such an individualized experience - but I think we can find common grounds, similar preferences, etc. Or benefit from opposites in some cases haha!
I’ve still never tried the Inkey list cleansing balm due to the reviews LOL. Is it similar to the banila??? I feel I’d like it if it is!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole if you have ever worked with coconut oil (nothing like that only reference) and how it can be solid in an oil. Kinda like that On my very dry face it feels nice and removes makeup well for me. It is most definitely a first cleanse and it doesn't hurt my eyes. I have very dry eyes to the point of pain and I can wash off mascara without pain. I do shake it some. I love different opinions just not making others feel stupid for liking something.
Speaking of allergies, I recently concluded that I have a reaction to products with rose. It took me a while to narrow it down, because it's (usually) not an instant reaction, but only shows up as itchy bumps after I've used a product with it for three or four days in a row.
Because just about nobody has this sensitivity, companies have started adding it not only to skincare, but to makeup as well. I've gotten used to checking moisturizers, toners, etc for anything with "rosa" in the name, but now I have to look for it in primers, foundations, and blushes too. (It's especially infuriating when you're using concealer to cover up the red bumps from your moisturizer, only to later discover the concealer contains the same allergen. Why, Lancome? Why?)
I try to give these products a fair review, but I always mention the reaction. I can't be the only one out there with a rose allergy, right?
Yep, that’s great you caught it! Rose allergy isn’t the most prevalent, but it does exist for sure. And yes I do not know what it is with Lancôme and the constant fragrance everywhere. I am certain I would do better with the brand if they toned it down 😩
Yeesh! I’m glad I don’t use Lancôme skin care! I’ve read quite a few comments in different forums how their skin care line did not work well for some people. I do really like their BiFacile eye makeup remover, and I would really like to get one of their heart shaped eyeshadow palettes, but their skin care is a hard pass for me. I love my CeraVe, The Ordinary, and CosRX products, and will stick with those.
Just discovered your channel and I love this video concept! Thank you
Thanks for watching! 🥰
Hi a Brit here. So on one hand I'm super jealous of your return policies and in the other I'm relieved we don't have them.
It can't be good for the environment all this waste. And even as a thrifty Yorkshire las I could see myself falling for the, oh well I can return it vibe. But being said las I also would make sure I return something I didn't like. But would probably use/ try way too much skincare and let the FOMO get me a lot more than I do.
Love this content. Have to admit, I have to tell myself I have to take a chill pill when even influencers have strong opinions on products I love which they hate. Tell myself, they're just doing their job right.
You nailed it. I absolutely think it contributes to the excess waste coming out of this country. The saddest part to me is something called “damages” - these stores have to destroy the returns, and while that’s completely understandable for hygienic reasons, I also think it’s so deeply sad!!
I sometimes think the laneige cream skin is misunderstood. It's meant to be in the toner step. I have the mist version and the first time I used it, it was a sticky mess. Now I just do 2 light sprays from a distance. I much prefer cosrx ceramide mist though, and better ingredients. I always look up reviews before buying a new product. I went back and watched your review on the Grande lip pumping mask, as it's been in my cart. I appreciate the way you discussed it and what to expect. So I will now be buying it. I couldn't find your video about the Grande lip serum though, was that any good? Although I do prefer a mask.
So thank you for your wonderful education and reviews. 🐸🌻
Oh do you mean the hydrating lip plumper? It’s nice but the problem with it is that it’s too expensive for too little product. The mask is WAY more bang for your buck!
I got an email from Peach & Lily earlier describing the 7-Skin method. Basically it’s using 3-7 layers of essence after cleansing. Does this do anything besides make your face sticky? Is it a ploy by essence-making skincare companies to sell more product? Or is this a real thing?
It’s real!! I don’t do it daily, but when my skin is stressed, dehydrated, etc - oh it definitely makes a difference. I think it’s akin to leaving a sheet mask on, as it’s kind of like fighting evaporation from a different angle. Rather than block evaporation with a physical Barrier (sheet mask), it’s fighting it by consistently adding more water+humectants!
I do the 7 skin method in the winter when it's dry out and my skin drinks it up. You only use a couple drops of product per "skin". You can tell if you need more toner/essence if your skin soaks it up.
Yes...one of yours!!!
If a product irritates my face four or 5 times I know it’s a fail and return it or use it on mvy body instead of face
Very interesting, love this video! 😍 I rarely break out but GR has made me break out 2 times, different products. Even thou I still keep buying GR as I love the smell, packaging and so many great reviews. It’s so cute! But maybe…. Just maybe…I am allergic. 😞 i never thought of that. I do have sensitive skin yet not extremely sensitive skin like my daughter.
I am so excited to try the Farmacy honey halo (thinking better for mature dry sensitive skin too), I bought 3 on sale! 😂. One for my daughter and one for me plus a spare. Hoping it will work for one of us, if not… I know I can easily get rid of two brand new ones. Thinking… 🤔 it will work for me, but not my daughter, but hoping it will for both! She is using a Earth Harbor right now and it does not irritate her, but she does not love it (kinda smelly) so will try the next soon! 😜
BTW: I never look at influencer reviews, I do not trust it in my experience. I wish I could. 🥺
Yeahhh I did notice a correlation specifically with the GR cleansing balm and more breakouts. It broke my heart 💔 Thankfully I do love other products from them, and I think that’s the trick with that brand - not every product will be for everyone, as they tend to have a lot going on!
Laneige cream skin is actually the only cream toner/essence that I've tried that hasn't worked for me. it felt like it just sat on top of my skin and made it oily.
I believe it! It’s surprisingly occlusive for a toner 👀
Laneige wasn’t it for me. I co-sign whoever doesn’t like it 😂😂😂
It’s true, nothing - and I mean NOTHING - is for everyone! 💕
I saw a one star review because the cleansing balm they ordered melted and kind of got on the lid. What-?
Hi Alice, very interesting video, I enjoyed the video, I don't always read reviews. I don't know if Sephora has any way to influence Dr. Jart to increase their color selection; they probably Don't, I Never purchase any makeup from Korean brands, just skincare their products are created for the Korean population and if you fit into their color selection you may purchase make up. The selection of makeup is very limited re: colors, very fair shades.
I don’t know either, but I would hope they can at least say something like, “heyyyy Dr. Jart, more shades would be AWESOME!!” Maybe I’m too much of an optimist in thinking that would do the trick though 🤣
No Laneige Cream Skin slander will be tolerated!
Indeed! 🤣
Your not alone. I do the exact same thing ❌️⭕️
I feel like it’s a testament to the importance of a nice, easy to use site design! And yet it doesn’t guarantee we will spend our cash there LOLLLL!!
Your hair is awesome :)
Thank you! 😃
The glow recipe cleansing balm stung my eyes, I could get over it but it's a makeup remover. I think it should be changed into a mask.
Oh ouch!! Yeah I just really do not think it’s their best product. Truly floored that Sephora has it listed as their best seller - or maybe they aren’t factoring in returns 🤔
I do like the hair color. 🥰 Sephora’s site is more user-friendly? I feel like that’s an Ulta problem. If a better shopping experience for less or the same amount of money is wrong, “Traitor Joe’s” is the rebranding we can’t wait to see.
Oh nooo wait what’s going on with TJ’s? I haven’t had one around me since moving!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I so wish I had one near me as well. Retailers are so territorial. I have just seen some derms very impressed by the Trader Joe’s sunscreen. I like when store brands are included in the reviews. More competition.
I didn't think you came off as mean at all, I think you were very mindful! I think if I read some of those comments, I would go into such a range, lol 🤣 not like a crazy one just a little one, I would obviously try not to but sometimes just because we're human it just happens.
Haha ohhh it’s so true. I really try hard not to, but there are certain topics that do indeed push my buttons. thankfully, it’s not really beauty (sigh of relief) 🤣🤣
So I actually always specifically look out 1 star reviews. I don't think most 1 star reviews are reflective of the reality of the quality of the product, but I do find that the more detailed ones will identify the weakness and you can determine for yourself whether that fits your goals. An example of this is how the Sulwhasoo mask read. You use it as an additional step, as it should be used, but I think a lot of people treat sleeping masks like pm moisturizers. If I was looking for a moisturizer review I could see that interpretation having a lot of value similar to the qualities identified in the Farmacy review. To me this type of review benefit can be even bigger with cosmetics products as 1 person's holy grail full coverage foundation will be someone else's cakey mess. Ultimately its the same reason I enjoy watching a channel like yours where you break down pros and cons in a way that lets me form my own decisions.
One other thing I'll say is I don't like the cream skin as much as many other do (the vegan kombucha biphase one is better) and I think its for 2 reasons. The first is that I like using my toners/essences before serums and feel its a bit occlusive. I could change the order of products but don't want to... and to be quite honest I could see this product not working for a variety of people unless its used in a very specific way. The second is that I don't feel this meets the marketing representations. To me his is sold as a 2-in-1 essence/moisturizer. To many this would mean I cleanse my skin then apply this and I'm done. I don't see that working for any but the most oily people. Bottom line I think they made something so unique that, while its not objectively bad, I think it requires a bit more nuance in terms of use than I actually felt like giving it. I used my bottle during the winter and I stopped using it originally then brought it back to help serve as a buffer for actives as I was ramping up potentcy. The vegan kombucha essence serves what I want out of that type of product better, and doesn't feel like it interferes with absorption the same way. Though of course cream skin did "it" first and they deserve credit for that.
As a final note, the glow recipe cleansing balm sucks. I think people only like it because they haven't tried good cleansing balms. I'm not even going to qualify that one and will leave it as my 1 star review of the day.
I suspect it’s the value of longer reviews. I gave up so quickly on short reviews, even in this very video, as it’s just too hard to glean helpful information from those. “Too watery” means nothing to me - I mean think of SK-II here. That’s a very watery product, and yet incredibly high impact in terms of results (at least for me haha, always that catch!) A watery texture does not immediately equate to BEING water!
Also 100% agree on Dr. Ceuracle’s Essence being the superior product vs Laneige. I think you’re right that the Laneige excels as an almost occlusive “toner”, which I’ve found can have a place. But Dr. C knocks it out of the park for a multi-benefit hydrating and moisturizing toner/essence!
@@AliceintheRabbitHole I mostly agree. I will say though some short reviews can give you a good reason to say no, especially if the complaints are in volume. For example if you don't like scented skincare and you read 20 version of "omg it smells" that product may not be for you. Now since you don't know what it smells like it may not provide enough information to impact you if you are only averse to specific kinds of smells. It also depends on the type of product since I fully agree a watery toner means little, but I would probably think twice about a watery moisturizers. It all depends if we know what we're looking for and what they're describing.
Interestingly enough I have a few triggers I just don't want to deal with. Like positive or negative if I see "gourmand" or "sweet" used to describe a cologne I know to veer far away as its not my taste. Similar for anything "full coverage" or "glittery" etc.
I am allergic to honey so all that lovely honey skincare isn’t for me. It’s awful. My face feels like it’s melting off when I use or eat it. Makes me sad because it works wonders for others.
I do think most people will leave as honest of a review as they can too❌️⭕️
MEIDAS TOUCH's Defeat Putin, STEPHEN COLBERT's America Endgame, and LINCOLN PARTY's Mother's/BLM Portland video videos are what I have watched an obscene number of times over the past couple of years. They make me feel better when the world is f@cked up which is sadly quite often.
I had a real white privilege moment. I REALLY wanted Too Faced Peach foundation and BTW sculpting concealer. I purchased so many different shades (like 3-4 shades), got help in store getting color matched and I just had to admit that Too Faced just doesn't want to sell to fair cool toned peoples. All of it was way too warm (orange) even if Too Faced called it a "cool" shade and they had so few fair shades. What they called "Porcelain" would have been a medium shade by any other brand. I was so frustrated and complaining until my white privilege slapped me in the face. This is a RARE occurrence for me as a fair skinned cool-toned complexion. How many people REALLY were excited and wanted to try a complexion product but were left feeling that the brand didn't see them, and didn't want them buying their product because they made nothing in their shade. For me, I really only had this issue with Too Faced, but for those with a darker complexion, there is so much where they just get left out.
Yup exactly!! It’s great that you came to that conclusion, as I feel it makes it easier to understand why wide shade ranges are so important. Nobody should feel excluded/forgotten! 💕
@Kris R It does seem like makeup companies leave out those with cool skin tones. I have a light-medium, cool olive complexion, and BOY, is it ever hard to find the right shade for me!
Too Faced isn’t the only brand that have yellow-based “cool toned” foundations. Juvia’s Place foundations have warm undertones, even the shades that have cool in the description. NARS cool foundations are the same way, and I’ve yet to find the right shade in the ABH line. I have trouble finding the right shade in Tarte and It! Cosmetics, too. The blue LA Girl foundation corrector that I bought hasn’t helped very much, either. It’s super frustrating, to say the least.

Get bored 😴 easily - no don't rewatch UA-cam.
laneige cream skin refiner gave me whiteheads eveytime I use it so now I just put in on my body
That’s a great solution! I love using toners before I apply body lotion 🙂
"it doesn't do anything" a phrase I cannot stand to hear in a review. I will not take an entire review seriously when I hear this.
💯
Same thoughts exactly. I get so flustered when that’s it - that’s the whole review. Ugh!!
