I came here to tell the comment section to buy "Julia Hungry". If you are a poetry/literature person, this is a collection you can really sink your teeth into. If you like to read, but poetry is outside your comfort zone, this is a wonderful door into a new world for you. Hannah makes the feminine experience so approachable here while also capturing the mysteries and nuances of womanhood. Working your way through the book will make you feel like your world is alive and sensual and almost magic. It's really good, y'all.
"it's not a group project, I don't want any negotiation to take place" is my new favorite way to describe decisions that I make and execute by myself 😂
As someone who has watched your channel loyally for years, it’s wild to me how much your style has changed! No wild eye shadow AND no blush?! 2019 Hannah would be shocked 😂
24 hrs! It’s 24 seconds before my kids tip toys all over the floor, spill crumbs everywhere or I feel the need to “declutter” which becomes a 3 week messy project cos I lose interest quickly 😂 mess makes me feel at home 😂
The new Phytosurgence lip balms seem absolutely up your alley!!! Also - don’t think I’ve ever seen you with this light of a concealer! I’m impressed you found one lighter than your skin tone!
These days I’m skeptical about companies marketing any kind of social or environmental good by tying it to our consumption. Seems like a crazy level of wish fulfillment, and that we maybe humor companies more than we should with this? The subliminal message is actually so funny and kind of sad: “You get to do the thing you most want to do on a personal level-buy more stuff-and somehow buying yourself stuff will support these other things that you vaguely hope someone somewhere is doing.” I guess I’d rather companies give back than not, and we’re all working within imperfect systems, but I can’t help but think of a young person 40 years from now asking me “okay but you let a company tell you with a straight face that you throwing away MORE plastic was helping the turtles? The turtles whose habitat is the OCEAN??”
Try the rom&nd mascara! Yes, it's waterproof but I don't find it to be crunchy at all! I have been searching for my taupe mascara for years and i think this might be it! 🌻🇸🇪
I am currently facing chaos of life, buying apartment, preparing to move, search for new daycare for my son, new role in the company, my husband very busy at his work… so knowing that there is a place where chaos is acceptable really comforts me
I am LOOOOVING the haircut, I feel like it's almost like a tiny little rebrand to go with the new house, and the new phase of life. Am I reading into it too much, very possibly so, but I am all the way here for it, looks amazing, looks very "you" too, if that makes sense. Like it was the most natural thing for you to do.
I don't care that you keep talking about the chaos in your life. I feel like it makes you relatable. Who said that you should be fully installed in a new house within a few weeks- with a youngster? It has always taken me a week to feel like home after a move, even if I were just a working nurse with no kids "and nothing else to do". I say, stop apologising for the background AND keep talking about the chaos! ❤
Healing from a procedure and pain is foremost in my mind until……you, Hannah. Your content and voice takes me away from an unpleasant reality. Thank you 🌸🐝
The brand 19/99 has Taupe mascara, it’s not brown, it’s really taupe (they have brown and black as well), with a small brush, and it can be used on lashes and brows.
Hey Hannah, I’d look into the Peripera Ink Color Mascara in 02 Milk Tea Brown. It’s not waterproof and it’s a lighter brown shade, although I’m not sure if that’s as taupey as you envision in your mind’s eye! ❤
I want to comment on your book! Hannah, I’ve been loving it so much, and there have been several moments of reading in which I had some extra insight about a line just because I’ve been watching you for years. So good ❤
HLP...I absolutely loved this vid! You seem so relaxed and your skin is beautifully glowy!! Love the new haircut...my 33 yo granddaughter calls it "soccer mom"... not sure why, but it fits you perfectly! Have a marvelous weekend and enjoy that baby while you can! If you blink they will be in college!
I LOVE your new haircut - I’m definitely using a photo of you for inspo to get my next trim. I got a very similar cut about 4 months ago (but not so nearly well executed), after my super long heavy hair was giving me headaches due to stress with a major life change. I sometimes miss the long dramatic hair but have received nothing but compliments on the shorter style AND washing and styling take less than 1/4 of the time so gonna stick with it for a while!!
Little by little you will get there! Where ever that is. I recognize myself so much in feeling like everything is caos after moving into a house with my husband and having a child. The days were more than filled with just regular life, buying groseries, cleaning, washing cloths etc. But little by little I got everything painted, repaired, decluttered & organized. I found my passion in gardening and I loved every moment of those years! Good to see you Hanna ❤
I got so excited when I saw this video's title! I love knowing what you're enjoying and find it very helpful. Thank you for making such wonderful videos.
19/99’s lash tint mascara comes in taupe, and it’s my favorite mascara ever! Super tiny wand, doesn’t smudge or flake, and it’s a tubing mascara so it’s easy to remove. Loving the hair, it looks great!
I’m very curious to try this! they recommend using it on the brows as well, have you tried it? my hair is darker but my eyebrows are strawberry blonde 😭
You look, as always, fantastic. I loved your observations about how experience changes how we look out of our eyes, etc. Your ingenue girl is still in there, but she's been joined by many others over the years, including now a mother! ❤
Omgg I just cut my hair too a few weeks ago after having it long since 2020! It feels so good. I went to collar bone level but I wish I went even shorter
Hannah! You look so stunning, glowing and gorgeous in this and your hair is AMAZING! and so timely for me cos i want my hair cut this length again but its ao thick and bulky i always get scared but yours is so good 👍 ❤
I love hearing about the chaos, although I get how you may want to stop thinking about it all the time. My life is full on chaos all the time so it’s nice to see the reality of the chaos in the lives of some of my favorite UA-camrs. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Hannah! i don’t know if you like/hate the Clinique mascara formula but the black honey mascara may be that perfect color you’re looking for. I also with browns looking black on my eyelashes and the vaguely maroon/warm color perfectly makes my lashes look brown.
If you are still looking for a soft brown taupe mascara, Romand Han All Fix mascara has an interesting color range; I've used Hazel and Ash and they look natural on me (I'm very pale and black mascaras pull very dramatic on my eyes).
Ive started using just green color corrector for my complexion and it has been absolutely lovely. I always worried it’d look off, but it neutralizes my redness without actually leaving me green. It’s fun to do more, but for low key no makeup makeup days it’s a game changer
Ok I used to use the Ilia highlighter stick, I bought one in the last Sephora sale to bring it back in my routine and it was the only item I ended up returning, because it seemed dry and dull compared to what I remembered. Now I want to go swatch it in store again lol. I have used their blushes for years, I have dry skin and I prefer lightly pigmented blushes.
I feel like this makeup look encapsulates the French girl makeup trend. Richness on the lips, even glowy complexion which isnt overly perfected, and impossibly long lashes that you fear other's ire for having? Just me?
I was recently watching older vids of yours and I would absolutely love something along the lines of ‚what‘s cheering me up right now‘! Maybe that‘s also one that requires less prep work :)
Auric launched their lip balm in a squeezy tube and I’d love a review (though I think the tube version is colorless)! I haven’t bought the potted one because of the delivery mechanism but I keep hearing how good it is and I want to buy it but I’m scared of spending that much money and hating it (and also scared of loving it tbh)
Please don't rush changing your background, I find comfort from the haphazard and I do enjoy how it doesn't feel not contrived and fake. ❤❤ PS I do know this will change which is ok - maybe the season change will bring in new aesthetic background for fall 🍁
I recommend the Clarins supra volume brown mascara, simply because its almost too light of a brown for me, so it might suit what you want better. It says volume but I find it quite feathery rather than dramatic.
I sure do appreciate you sharing the verbiage for how to ask your stylist for this haircut. Hair is not my native language, which has all too often become readily apparent at the salon!😂
Will watch after I get back from dinner. Three cheers for Latoya and Cymbre! And, here's to a reframing of the chaos. I enjoyed this relaxed get ready with me. Thank you!
Hi! Lash n roll curling & lifting mascara by elf in deep brown actually to me has a grey tint to it. If you look up online it doesn’t show it but in person it is a grey brown to me. It doesn’t make it a harsh black like others.
Having moved around 20 times , I have accepted the fact that settling in takes time. It takes time to build a home and it takes time for the new place to feel like home. You will get there soon enough. It's the clutter and disorganization and the "which box is it in?!" that irritating. I just LOVE your new 'do! I think it's long enough to be a womanly cut. And perhaps the stylist's razor method that minds the volume gives it that free-loving-hippie-sway-with-the-wind look. I too have become a lover a simple concealer-all-over and pop of color lip with little to no cheek product: skin is IN!
Hannah! Ohhh! For your next in-depth review on lip balms, could you pretty please do a swatch comparison between Rabanne Soul Kiss vs Gone Greige? They appear to be of a similar flavor. I've been on my own dupe hunt for Gone Greige - my favorite dupe you found back in the day, from Rituel de Fille, looks to be discontinued. Wherever life gives you time to sort out all the goodies; I suspect the nostalgia/reference makeup isn't at the top of the unpacking list, lol.
i love the silly goose energy in this 😆 wanted to tell you! i finally indulged and got the isamaya tinted balm in vanity - the black shade. if you’re still on a tinted balm hunt may be worth a try. bullet ✅ sheer (even when i’ve layered it 3-4 times it is still sheer. note that i have quite pigmented lips) ✅ shiny (not the MOST. probably 4-5/10?) ✴️ texture - not super thin but not super thick. fairly good lasting power. i would say almost but not quite glossier balm levels of thickness ✴️ colour - i think you said this one is flexible if the other criteria are met. i like that it’s a very wearable black. my first few applications i found the colour (even sheer) a bit disappointing, but i think it just needed to be broken in cause less than 24h later it’s perfect and applying SO much nicer (colour wise specifically). hope this helped! 🩷🖤
Your thought process about "ignoring overwhelm in the hopes of will go away" might actually be on to something. Brooke Castillo refers to emotions like overwhelm, worry, self-doubt as "indulgent" emotions. I personally don't love that word in this context, but her point is that if you continually think to yourself "I'm overwhelmed", it results in feeling overwhelmed, which leads to the outcome of being overwhelmed; it's a closed loop without any resolution. However, if you think to yourself something like, "I'm open to a solution", your feeling is likely to be something like optimism, which generally results in making some small changes that do actually result in a better out come. Thoughts really do become things 😆 Anyways, love the hair. I'm terribly overdue for a hair cut, and my hair is much finer than yours, so I'm trying to figure out how to translate what you got onto my head. Screen shots abound 💇♀️
In my early 20s I thought it would help me look more put together to get a shoulder length haircut and boy oh boy did I look 12 years old. Somehow I look the most ‘effortless’ with the haircut of a 1980s high school senior photo. The lessons we learn.
I've been using the ELF brown lash extender mascara! i'm not quite as pale as you but maybe more desaturated, and it's a true mid-brown. I wouldn't quite describe it as ashy or cool but it's CLOSE. Plus it's a tubing mascara so it's SO easy to remove at the end of the day!
I'm a hairdresser and i've observed that something about the first year or so after having a baby seems to make many women try a much shorter haircut for the first time or the first time in a long time. Hormones change hair growth and texture, wanting something lower maintenance, and of course, babies going through the hair pulling/ grabbing phase. I think it can be really freeing and cleansing. I love the way your stylist layered your cut, it really suits how much hair you have, it basically sounds like what I would have done in that situation.

@@kid0rainbow yes it is. My sister loves it too. It was a perfect birthday gift.
I just ordered it! So excited to dig in!

Honestly as someone whose house is never clean for longer than 24 hours, the chaos has been comforting
In my mind, the background mess has become an installation art project and I love it
As someone whose house is never clean for longer than 24 minutes the chaos has been comforting.
24 hrs! It’s 24 seconds before my kids tip toys all over the floor, spill crumbs everywhere or I feel the need to “declutter” which becomes a 3 week messy project cos I lose interest quickly 😂 mess makes me feel at home 😂
Y’all, the ADD is STRONG in this one (as in me) so it just looks like a house to me!
Same here!
We're absolutely not surprised that HLP wants a taupey-brown-grey mascara 😂
I like that length. It makes me think fancy, French, sophisticated. Hope your play date goes well with the babies!
😂 "im gonna ingore it, and hope it goes away. I think it'll work."
Flawless delivery.
I find your chatty make up sessions are the most beneficial combination of gentle without being brain rot. Love spending time here.
"...changes the way you look out of your eyes" is the perfect poetic counterbalance to all things insanity 'impossibly voluminous lashes" 😂
😂 lashes impossibly long and so intense they come with their own reality distortion field.
HLP notification -- instant click:)
Same. 😂
YASSSS!!!
I would love a video of you cleaning/organizing/setting up your background It'd be a great insight into the bts process of the channel
The hair ✨ THE HAIR ✨ ahhhh you rock every style!
LOVE the haircut!!!
The new Phytosurgence lip balms seem absolutely up your alley!!!
Also - don’t think I’ve ever seen you with this light of a concealer! I’m impressed you found one lighter than your skin tone!
The brand "How to be a redhead" have truly brown mascaras, maybe something to review?🌷
The Rudi Berry brown tubing mascara is amazing!
Turtle beach rescue workers after lunch:
"No! We cant save any more turtles today, we need to sell another mascara first!"
😂
What a treat for my Saturday morning ❤❤

Always a pleasure. Your explanation of the busy life/prioritizing speaks to me. Same. Life is a work in progress. Rome was not built in a day. 🕊✨
I am currently facing chaos of life, buying apartment, preparing to move, search for new daycare for my son, new role in the company, my husband very busy at his work… so knowing that there is a place where chaos is acceptable really comforts me

Yes I recommended this too! 🎉

Again, again, just saying thank you for sharing your brain with the world. I find comfort in these videos! May your chaos become restful soon. ❤️
You look, as always, fantastic. I loved your observations about how experience changes how we look out of our eyes, etc. Your ingenue girl is still in there, but she's been joined by many others over the years, including now a mother! ❤
Love the new hair cut!!! You look chic and elegant. ❤
I think Auric now makes that lip product in a tube ? Also, I love your new haircut, Hannah!
Was coming here to say this. I'm not sure they do the tinted though, it may just be the plain.
The hair is fabulous!
Your hair looks absolutely wonderful and fresh! You look like how the first full day of spring feels.
I love the new hair! Very chic 💜
Been up since 5:30 PST because I’m dog sitting and they decided that was breakfast, so I’m as early as I possibly could be for this HLP video 😂
lol I’m literally cat sitting right meow.
Omgg I just cut my hair too a few weeks ago after having it long since 2020! It feels so good. I went to collar bone level but I wish I went even shorter
The hair is *chef's kiss. It's a modern take on a 90's style and it really suits you. Plus all those products are 😍!
I LOVE the new shag/blunt cut! Suits you so well.
Hannah! You look so stunning, glowing and gorgeous in this and your hair is AMAZING! and so timely for me cos i want my hair cut this length again but its ao thick and bulky i always get scared but yours is so good 👍 ❤
I love hearing about the chaos, although I get how you may want to stop thinking about it all the time. My life is full on chaos all the time so it’s nice to see the reality of the chaos in the lives of some of my favorite UA-camrs. Thank you for sharing it with us.
Thank you for the tips and facts around your new haircut. I think a lot about cutting my hair to a similar length.
Gorgeous! You're really tempting me with that ilia skin milk. I use laneige right now, but when it's time to repurchase...
I don't know if it's you or the Ilia, but your skin is absolutely radiant.
Love both of the Sweed mascaras! Great video!
Hannah! i don’t know if you like/hate the Clinique mascara formula but the black honey mascara may be that perfect color you’re looking for. I also with browns looking black on my eyelashes and the vaguely maroon/warm color perfectly makes my lashes look brown.

Makes me want to try the Illia skin milk
Ditto! ❤

The saie beauty brown mascara is quite a light brown but it does lean warm. I like it for super natural makeup days

49 seconds ago?! The gods love me
It’s a for sure thing that new moms cut their hair short! Welcome to the club!😂
I feel like this makeup look encapsulates the French girl makeup trend. Richness on the lips, even glowy complexion which isnt overly perfected, and impossibly long lashes that you fear other's ire for having? Just me?
The hair is so stunning!
I was recently watching older vids of yours and I would absolutely love something along the lines of ‚what‘s cheering me up right now‘! Maybe that‘s also one that requires less prep work :)
You wear chaos well, my darling. Great hair! 💖
Also love Auric! They have tubes now for the plush ritual!! Not certain if that particular color comes in a tube but worth checking!
Auric launched their lip balm in a squeezy tube and I’d love a review (though I think the tube version is colorless)! I haven’t bought the potted one because of the delivery mechanism but I keep hearing how good it is and I want to buy it but I’m scared of spending that much money and hating it (and also scared of loving it tbh)
Having a really chaotic week and this video was really comforting! (including the chaotic background 😂)
I have been which for this type of video from you! Keep up the good work, Hannah!
Your hair looks amazing
Please don't rush changing your background, I find comfort from the haphazard and I do enjoy how it doesn't feel not contrived and fake. ❤❤ PS I do know this will change which is ok - maybe the season change will bring in new aesthetic background for fall 🍁

Has no one told you yet that Auric makes that balm in a squeeze tube now?! You need to buy/try/review for us 😆
Hey, Hannah! Had to jump back in to tell you the Refy pomade/whatever has a double-ended wand. 🌸🐝
I am obsessed with your hair !!!
Hannahhh you should get a chemical peel! I got a medium level strength one and it literally changed my life. Confidence is through the roof
I needed me an HLP plays in makeup video today.
The haircut looks great on you!
