I just love your hot takes, though the Tower 28 tinted SPF is a personal holy grail and works like a charm on my combo-oily skin. Your content is stellar and I appreciate your channel so much.
Ok wow! You validated sooo many products that don’t work for me either!!! Tower 28 blushes, lip jellies, fenty ease drop, DM liquid foil shadows, nars ect. We can’t love it all I guess and our bank accounts probably appreciate that!
I find these sorts of videos helpful. I like to compare the opinions of a bunch of different beauty gurus when deciding to purchase or not purchase a product to see if it's actually a product for me or not.
This lip color is so pretty on you! I very much agree with most of your opinions on these products (the ones I’ve tried at least.) I’m also glad I saw your review of the makeup by Mario plumping lip serums earlier this year. It prevented me from buying them!
I could not wash that Ilia skin tint off fast enough! I tried to wear it, but it felt like grease on my face. I agree with your dislike of dewy, shiny face products because I feel like I look oily and not hydrated. I would love to see a part 2.
LOVED this video and definitely want to see a Part 2! The Goop Unseen sunscreen, K18, Pat McGrath blush in that particular shade and the Dior lip balm also didn’t work out for me and for the same exact reasons though we have pretty different colouring and skin types.
I actually really found this video helpful! When really hyped up products don’t work for me sometimes I’m confused why or what the issue is but hearing someone else talk about why things didn’t work was encouraging if that makes sense. So thank you! And I’d love to see another video mentioning more products that didn’t work for you.
I love this video!!! We ❤ the deets. Critical is key. No one wants gritty lips, does nothing haircare, silicone heavy sunscreen, sticky cheeks, drying?!? Lip balms. Thank you!!! & I’ve heard that the Tower 28 glosses go off and shift color so fast. But the shades are so pretty!! Oh and the Nars creamy concealer that has baffled me for years!! It’s so dry and ridiculously hard to blend. Very strange. Glad you can relate to my utter confusion. I tried my moms ilia skin tint and holy cow. Literal coagulated globs of product came out of the dropper. Weird. Love the shimmery Bobbi brown shadow sticks. I wonder if they would be an improvement to the Laura Mercier.
This video has made me feel a lot less gaslit😊 the cream blushes from Moira are supposed dupes for the tower 28 ones but I think they are better as they dry down and stick around better. Tower 28 broke my heart with the tint. It was so lovely but I look too shiny!!! Love you Kait!
You look gorgeous as always ❤ I never got the hype about the nars concealer either! Terribly drying and aged my under eye area!! I love Rare beauty liquid blushes but yes… most times we don’t have time to be careful with makeup. Can be exhausting!
This was such a great video! I totally agree with you on a majority of the products you mentioned! I look forward to seeing your next video! I really dislike lip plumping products. I experience the same thing-I cannot take it off fast enough. I 1000% had the same experience with Amika hair products!
Omg this is exactly why I follow you! Everything you didn’t like I don’t either. Dior lipglow returned.. Fenty drops gifted to my daughter! Nars concealer drying Tower 28 mascara returned.. And the list goes on.. Thanks 🙏🏼 happy to know I am not the only one
This is my first time on your channel. I am so surprised by your review of ALL the products because I agree 100% with everything you said. I am now a new subscriber because I feel like your future reviews and recommendations will be more in line with mine. Thanks for the great video!
Hi! Yep I agree with you on so many of these! Mario balms - never even tried, Supergoop - no thanks, Ilia skin tint - so bad and I wanted to LOVE it, Tower 28 bronzer, Rare liquid lip balm - eeeww that taste and I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting! :)
Totally agree with you on the taste and feel of the Tower 28, Fenty, Summer Fridays lip balms, so I'm glad I never bit the bullet on the rare beauty and makeup by mario ones! Total sucker for Dior though 😁
It’s so wild how different our preferences are lol. I watch you because I love you, duh- but I feel nearly the exact opposite about (nearly) all of the products I’ve tried on this list 🙃 People are funny creatures 💕
Another great video..thank you. And yes please to a part 2!! 👍 I was surprised about the tower 28 products as I love them all....lol. Haven't tried the mascara as I love Thrive & Ilia, but I love their lip jellies (the sheer & the milky ones & I never have noticed any weird or strong smell & I am very sensitive to that) , cream blushes ,the bronzer & their spf foundation . Oh yea..also their SOS spray. And speaking of lip glosses with overpowering smell....I went to Sephora & tried that Gwen Stefani gloss you love & I fell inn love with the formula & color (using hand swatches), but the smell was absolutely overpowering/slickening on me (also read reviews about that) & did not dissipate & I knew if I bought it I wouldn't be able to wear it. Ugh!! Had the same thing with a Tarte lip gloss I used to love years ago. And I just tried Danessa Myricks color fix in the foil called "Alien" & returned it after one use as it was all glitter & not metallic at all. I just ordered the new Wander beauty limited edition eyeshadow duo you mentioned as that looks so gorgeous!! Sorry for the long winded comment. lol. 😎
I agree with you about the amika having such a strong fragrance, eww too much. My all time favorite hair line is coco and eve, they have a fig scent but it’s not too overpowering, and doesn’t linger but the shampoo and conditioner have really changed my hair!
Yes I would love to know how you are finding the Living Proof product! I’ve never tried the K18 but I too have naturally light brown hair but I’ve been getting blond highlights for forever now 😜
I can't believe Danessa Myricks foils didn't make it, it's my absolute favourite liquid glitter formula, but then I love textured eyeshadow more than anything and I actually do not like the matte color fix formula at all. Funny how different product do not work at all for different people. Loved this video from you Kait!
Laura Płuciennik: It's actually common sense that a product that is a holy grail for one person is a fail for another. Every human has different skin even at different times during their lifetime or during a month. It doesn't mean a product is bad, it means it didn't work for a particular human. Human skin is a spectrum from oily to dry and everything in between. You have to find what works for you.
I’ve been trying EVERYTHING from Rare Beauty. Their eye shadow primer, setting spray, foundation, tinted moisturizer, and brushes are my current favorites. I just ordered one of the new highlighter powders and the new brush. But the bronzer stick everyone loves was meh for me, I HATE the liquid eyeliner, and I haven’t felt compelled to try the liquid blush. I love liquid and cream blush! But I haven’t tried theirs. I think I’m afraid after all the hype I won’t like them.
I wholeheartedly agree with Tower 28 mascara and Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush. The mascara just doesn't do anything for me, and the blush is way too pigmented and finicky to work with. I wanted to like them, but I just can't use them anymore.
The only product for merit that didn’t work for me was the foundations stick. Absolutely awful. The only way I can wear the Nars concealer is as an all over foundation base. Putting a lighter shade under my eyes is never a good look for me 😢
How do we have the same opinion on so many of these products😂😂I thought I was in minority for hating that nars concealer, glad to see I’m in good company
Briogeo is quickly replacing ALL my hair care products. Every product I’ve tried from them has worked like magic on my hair compared to other brands. My hair is super fine and super finicky.
I mostly agree with you about all the Tower 28 stuff, but I do like the Merit complexion stick and don't feel that it emphasizes wrinkles or other texture issues at all for me. Hmmmm.
I’ve always wondered what you thought about the tower28 lip jellies! I also don’t like them, they’re too sticky and there are other better products. My friend loves their bright pink gloss though, so there you go! I also don’t love the cream blush because it fades so quickly. I agree I love the brand though!
There were actually a lot in here I totally agree with you on! Especially supergoop - none of their SPFs work on me. I hate the textures and they all pill like crazy. I don’t get it 😭
The YTP cleanser smells incredible but I feel like it does not get my skin clean. I love bioderma’s sensibo liquid for a foamy cleanser, glossier milky jelly, and Sunday Riley’s ceramic slip which all thoroughly clean without stripping
As well as looking super greasy and being way overpriced, Unseen Sunscreen also burns the skin around my eyes. After trying a lot of Korean and Japanese sunscreens Unseen is just so bad. I also agree about the LM Caviar Sticks- I can't get them to work for me no matter what. I do like these videos. More please!
i'm kinda happy you let us know about the Summer Fridays lip balm. i've been seeing it everywhere and was contemplating getting it, but now i'm going to pass on it. My all time favourite is the Clarins moisture replenishing lip balm, and it stays onn all night. not slippy, not fragranced, and actually heals my cracked lips. i also recently got the Vieve lip dew and it's FANTASTIC. really sticks to the lips, and the packaging is luxe yet compact.
@@StateofKait i've tried the Skin Nova primer, but i don't really care for glowy primers (i rarely use primers, my skincare is enough). it was fine, but someone else would probably do a better review. their Eye wands look nice, though!
I love the Westman Atelier baby cheeks. Bought three- Poppet, Petal and Dou Dou. I love almost all the WA products except the squeaky clean lip balm - the colors just don’t work for me.
Amika stuff doesn’t work at all for me either. I think they smell lovely and I met the team at a trade show and they were a delight, but no thank you. My scalp breaks out if I use any of their products.
Finally! Someone else who did NOT like the SF lip balm. I really don't get it. It actually irritates my lips and I hate that I spent money on this product 😢
God the smell of the Fenty glass bomb cream formula makes me sick… Did I use an entire tube so as not to waste it? Yes, and I suffered the whole time lol
I’m totally agree on the merit complexion stick, purchased it yesterday. Oh my my, such a disappointment….it’s like applied mud on my face. Can you recommend some sticks? I really enjoy using sticks, so difficult to find a proper one.
I have literally returned every.single.Fenty product ever purchased. sooooo bad. so so bad. they look terribly, apply terrible, and I've given up. no more Fenty.
I have not found a product by Fenty or Rare Beauty that has worked for me, along with the Nars concealer and Merit foundation stick. It's weirdly comforting to know I'm not the only one. Thank you for this video.🙌🏻🫶🏻
LOVED these reviews and would love more like this! it cured my fomo with a lot of stuff 😂. i still like the Fenty glosses but now that i’ve tried other formulas (Fawn Beauty and Tom Ford) they are a little thicker to me so no longer my fav.
Nars concealer hides nothing. It’s great for people who have less to no blemishes. It makes my eyes look tired. Same, I’ve tried over corrector, with moisturizer, different tools and techniques but no luck. Thank you for being the only influencer here who is honest .
You are spot on when it comes to these products. It was great to have someone speak the truth about Sephora bestsellers that aren’t good. Please do another video like this again in the future!
It's not that the products are "not good", they may just not be "good for you". Every human is different. Our skin is different, different products look and wear differently on each of us.
Finally I have found a person who understands the struggles with slippery lipsticks that go to your throat and make you want to wash it away immediately
The Rare Beauty liquid blushes look so patchy on my skin no matter how I apply it. I had the same problem with Glossier cloud paints. Other cream blushes also emphasize texture on my face and they don't last long so I just stick with powder blushes 🤷♀️ I agree with the tower 28 and fenty lip glosses. Hot chocolit was the worst one, the glitter on that one actually hurt my lips 😣
Ouch lol so many of my faves are on this list but non the less I loved hearing your thoughts and reasons why they didn’t work. I really like these kind of videos that encompass products from new to old releases 👍🏻 it’s so much more helpful than just focusing on new products
I would also love a part two! Some of what didn’t work for you works for me, but I love the tone here of “not for me,” which makes sense because everybody’s taste and needs are distinct!
It’s not just you, Kait. Even as someone who prefers a lighter weight lip product, the Tower 28 lip glosses were way too messy. I loved the shades, but the formula was uncomfortable and kinda drying. For my fellow enjoyers of a lighter-weight lip gloss, the nooni lip oils would be my top rec. They have a lot of “shades” of those lip oils, but they all eventually turn that bright pH-lip-stain-pink. If you don’t mind that, the stain is even, strong, and weightless.
My problem with Supergoop’s Unseen is the silicon textur. the amount you need to use on the face for the SPF to be effective, is a big goop of silicone. Makes my stomach turn because my body reacts like like I am piling. Just Piling on a ‘primer’ 🤣. Once I am done with the tube not repurchasing it. I love the Dr Gross mineral sunscreen but like you I hate ‘glowy’ and I am a matured skin person who welcomes skincare hydration but the glow emphasizing every line and pore is terrible. As a NC40 skintone I had such a hard time with rare beauty liquid blues that I returned it ( a rarity for me) And I am used to working with liquid blushes, remember Benetint of days gone by ? 🤣 used a drop on a palette, mixed it and then and only then on my cheeks. But nope not for me. Admire lighter skinned people who are so adept at working with this formula so beautifully.
I’d love a Part 2. Okay I completely agree with the makeup by Mario lip serum. It bleeds out of my lip lines. Hated T28 lip jellies. I rage used up all three.😂. The illumination bronzer looked great in low light but in sunlight looked like I had weird gold glitter on my face like a gold tin man. I took one whiff of the Fenty Gloss Bomb and immediately returned it. And the Fenty skin tint brought out texture previously unseen. Now Unseen Sunscreen is my all time favorite chemical sunscreen. Love Summer Fridays lip butter balms. Nars radiant creamy concealer works for my teen and me and I like the fluertatipus blush. I like the Rare Beauty shimmery liquid blushes but not the mattes. Love being able to compare notes with people whose opinion I enjoy and respect.🥰
I am half way watching the video and can not beleive that every single item I hate too. What is the deal with Pat Mcgrath blushes, tgese exeggarate the texture of my skin so badly. And yet no one is talking abkut Suqqu melting blushes and Surrat blushes that are outstanding
This is my favorite kind of video you do. We have very similar tastes in colors and formulas, so your word is like gold to me. (Except about the Fenty drops. Them's fightin' words. lol)
I just love your hot takes, though the Tower 28 tinted SPF is a personal holy grail and works like a charm on my combo-oily skin. Your content is stellar and I appreciate your channel so much.
I wonder how many people are gonna click on a video with a title like this and then get annoyed that you “sound negative.” lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kait, you look incredible. The color on your eyes makes them pop. I would love to see a part two. Thanks for sharing. I hope today is a good one.✌🏻
Oh thank you! I hope you have a great Monday too
Would love a part two! Totally agree about the overly fragranced hair care ugh I hate it
I'd love to see a part 2! It's so refreshing to have reasons NOT to buy new/more makeup.
Ok wow! You validated sooo many products that don’t work for me either!!!
Tower 28 blushes, lip jellies, fenty ease drop, DM liquid foil shadows, nars ect.
We can’t love it all I guess and our bank accounts probably appreciate that!

Need a part 2! I feel so validated!! 🤣🤣
Refreshing content! The secret is OUT - not everything is perfect. And nothing works for everyone! 👏
AMEN!!! I'm always here for the honesty of what works and doesn't for people.
THANK YOU for going in depth about the taste in lip products and scent in hair products. These also bother me a lot so would love to see a part 2!
You look gorgeous as always ❤ I never got the hype about the nars concealer either! Terribly drying and aged my under eye area!! I love Rare beauty liquid blushes but yes… most times we don’t have time to be careful with makeup. Can be exhausting!

I would def take a look at the shade Divine Rose in the PMG blush. I had the same issue with Fleurtatious, but Divine Rose is 👍
Omg this is exactly why I follow you!
Everything you didn’t like I don’t either.
Dior lipglow returned..
Fenty drops gifted to my daughter!
Nars concealer drying
Tower 28 mascara returned..
And the list goes on..
Thanks 🙏🏼 happy to know I am not the only one
I so wanted to love those Mario balms! The scent is so off putting. Love this video ❤
The Laura Geller jelly balms are that sheer lovely texture you'd like!
I loved this video! You are so spot on with your observations, and I found myself nodding along thinking "YES, so it's not just me?!"
Omg we have the same skin 😂 I tried most of these products and I couldn’t agree more!! All but the Fenty ease drops 🙂↔️ my absolute favorite!
I love this kind of content! It’s so refreshing! Also, that lip color looks great on you!
Thank you! Never thought I'd like that shade but once I tried it with a lip liner I fell in love
This is my first time on your channel. I am so surprised by your review of ALL the products because I agree 100% with everything you said. I am now a new subscriber because I feel like your future reviews and recommendations will be more in line with mine. Thanks for the great video!

100% with you on almost all of these. I feel vindicated! I trust your judgment 😊

Isn’t that so crazy?! It just shows how wildly subjective beauty is
I am so glad you found the tower 28 glosses unremarkable! I have not had a great experience with the formula either, and thought I was totally crazy!
Omg. Most products you talked about I was saying Me Too!!!
I completely agree on every product . For the exact reasons too. 🤷🏻♀️😂
i agreed with soooooo many of these!!!! love this video. thank you!
❤❤❤ the video. I feel like you describe the experience of these makeup products so well.

I do too! Such a blush fan

How do we have the same opinion on so many of these products😂😂I thought I was in minority for hating that nars concealer, glad to see I’m in good company
Random question (i really enjoy your content!), what is the style of cut do you have for your hair? What did you ask for? I kinda want that vibe.
Thanks! I ask for a blunt cut at the length of my collar bones and we do trim a few of the shorter pieces in front
Omg. I love the merit stick, but it IS fussy about what primer I used with it so I totally understand! I also hated the Fenty eaze drops.
Both of this made me look C R U S T Y
Yes! You need a really dewy base for it and since kait doesn’t love dewy bases makes sense why it makes her look crusty!

How does a lip gloss "not work" for anyone? It literally just makes your lips glossy.
There are a million factors- if you don’t like the texture, scent, taste, color…..
LOVED these reviews and would love more like this! it cured my fomo with a lot of stuff 😂. i still like the Fenty glosses but now that i’ve tried other formulas (Fawn Beauty and Tom Ford) they are a little thicker to me so no longer my fav.
We are on the same page about every single product you've mentioned 🙈 I don't get the hype 🙄🧐
Oh shoot I LOVE almost all the things you hate 😬
See, everyone is SO different!
Nars concealer hides nothing. It’s great for people who have less to no blemishes. It makes my eyes look tired. Same, I’ve tried over corrector, with moisturizer, different tools and techniques but no luck. Thank you for being the only influencer here who is honest .
i love this kind of video bc i love learning how different our experiences with product can be!!
Would diiiiiie to see this video from you
You are spot on when it comes to these products. It was great to have someone speak the truth about Sephora bestsellers that aren’t good. Please do another video like this again in the future!
It's not that the products are "not good", they may just not be "good for you". Every human is different. Our skin is different, different products look and wear differently on each of us.
Reviews of why a product didn’t work for you are so helpful! Thanks! ❤️
Would love a part 2. I’ve had a few of the same experiences with some of these products mentioned.
Wow, you eviscerated Tower28! I feel the same way but man, it’s an unpopular opinion, LOL
Finally I have found a person who understands the struggles with slippery lipsticks that go to your throat and make you want to wash it away immediately
Welcome to my channel! All of my favorite lip products are thick, occlusive, and non-slippery :)
Just took a bunch off my Sephora wish list lol thank you! Been trying to slow down my makeup spending
This makeup 💄 looks so good on you I love this vibe 😍
Thank you!
The Rare Beauty liquid blushes look so patchy on my skin no matter how I apply it. I had the same problem with Glossier cloud paints. Other cream blushes also emphasize texture on my face and they don't last long so I just stick with powder blushes 🤷♀️ I agree with the tower 28 and fenty lip glosses. Hot chocolit was the worst one, the glitter on that one actually hurt my lips 😣
Ugh Nars concealer creases on me and makes my under eyes so dry and crapey!!
It’s so frustrating because every pro MUS loves it and I simply cannnnnnnot get it to look good on me, which makes me think it’s my fault 😂
Ouch lol so many of my faves are on this list but non the less I loved hearing your thoughts and reasons why they didn’t work. I really like these kind of videos that encompass products from new to old releases 👍🏻 it’s so much more helpful than just focusing on new products
I did really enjoy this video
I would also love a part two! Some of what didn’t work for you works for me, but I love the tone here of “not for me,” which makes sense because everybody’s taste and needs are distinct!
It’s not just you, Kait. Even as someone who prefers a lighter weight lip product, the Tower 28 lip glosses were way too messy. I loved the shades, but the formula was uncomfortable and kinda drying. For my fellow enjoyers of a lighter-weight lip gloss, the nooni lip oils would be my top rec. They have a lot of “shades” of those lip oils, but they all eventually turn that bright pH-lip-stain-pink. If you don’t mind that, the stain is even, strong, and weightless.
My problem with Supergoop’s Unseen is the silicon textur. the amount you need to use on the face for the SPF to be effective, is a big goop of silicone. Makes my stomach turn because my body reacts like like I am piling. Just Piling on a ‘primer’ 🤣. Once I am done with the tube not repurchasing it.
I love the Dr Gross mineral sunscreen but like you I hate ‘glowy’ and I am a matured skin person who welcomes skincare hydration but the glow emphasizing every line and pore is terrible.
As a NC40 skintone I had such a hard time with rare beauty liquid blues that I returned it ( a rarity for me) And I am used to working with liquid blushes, remember Benetint of days gone by ? 🤣 used a drop on a palette, mixed it and then and only then on my cheeks. But nope not for me. Admire lighter skinned people who are so adept at working with this formula so beautifully.
I love this! Loved the summed up version of products that didn't work for you! Definitely need a part 2!
Would love to see you do this too
I’d love a Part 2. Okay I completely agree with the makeup by Mario lip serum. It bleeds out of my lip lines. Hated T28 lip jellies. I rage used up all three.😂. The illumination bronzer looked great in low light but in sunlight looked like I had weird gold glitter on my face like a gold tin man. I took one whiff of the Fenty Gloss Bomb and immediately returned it. And the Fenty skin tint brought out texture previously unseen. Now Unseen Sunscreen is my all time favorite chemical sunscreen. Love Summer Fridays lip butter balms. Nars radiant creamy concealer works for my teen and me and I like the fluertatipus blush. I like the Rare Beauty shimmery liquid blushes but not the mattes. Love being able to compare notes with people whose opinion I enjoy and respect.🥰
I am half way watching the video and can not beleive that every single item I hate too. What is the deal with Pat Mcgrath blushes, tgese exeggarate the texture of my skin so badly. And yet no one is talking abkut Suqqu melting blushes and Surrat blushes that are outstanding
I heard the melting blushes just got discontinued! tragic
@@StateofKait literally tragic
I’m with you on the hair products! Too much fragrance give me a headache 🤕
This is my favorite kind of video you do. We have very similar tastes in colors and formulas, so your word is like gold to me. (Except about the Fenty drops. Them's fightin' words. lol)
