When you said (of the Dior shadow topper) “She’s expired” it sounded like a new Patrick Ta product. And frankly, i would be all in for a “she’s expired” “she’s exhausted” “she’s burned out” collection 😂
I’ve admittedly spent lazy days scrolling back to the Michele archives looking for videos I haven’t seen b/c I’m SUCH a Michele fan (at the risk of sounding creepazoid) Michele’s feedback has given me the insight I needed to make high end online purchases with confidence that I will not be wasting money.
It’s Asian American Pacific Islander month here in the states so I appreciate you shedding love on an Asian American creator especially in the height of Asian hate going on in our country. Sending you love from the US!
Im here to speak up for a part two of this series with your top 5 from 5 CRUELTY FREE Brands 🐱🐰💗 Fenty Beauty, NYX, ABH, Nudestix, Huda Beauty, Danessa Myricks.. The list goes on and on! ✨💕
@@ElinevanderLaan I bought the Nudestix kit that Lan came out with last year, was that last year? Pandemic has screwed up my sense of time. I try to buy cruelty free and from what I understand, they are in that “gray area”. they do not test on animals, but the jury is out on what they will do in China. They might get around testing by selling only online? That’s the last I heard, so I hope that is true. Just FYI.
No I really don't like drug store content. Such a waste of time for me and we all know that Alana isn't actually using drug store stuff over her other stuff lol
Allana, you should totally check out Phytosurgence! They are a small brand from Canada, their Wild Oak shade is similar to your discontinued Dior shadow topper!
This is so exciting Allana, I enjoy so much your content as much as I love Michele’s content and it happens that today morning I uploaded my version of this video 🙈 What a treat to get to know your favorites on these lovely brands. BTW Your lipstick is everything! 💖 XO! 😘
Love these kind of videos. Absolutely love Michele’s channel and recommendations. You 2 are for sure my 2 favorite you tubers to watch and trust recommendations
Please could you do Chanel? Or maybe once you’ve done all of them do a battle royale where you pick one only for each brand and that way we know your makeup must haves 🥰
I love this type of video because you actually get to hear how a product performs, I actually bought the Dior rosy pink blush because of you! Also loving this shirt and necklace duo ✨🙌🏼😍💕
I’m so surprised that you didn’t include Marc Jacobs in this video! Speaking of which, are they going away? All of their products are on sale at sephora and have been for some time now. Great video idea!
Yes to a part 2! I found Michelle Wang relatively recently and I am in love with her! She is so calming, so lovely and radiates energy. Allana and Michelle are my absolute faves x
It’s so cool that your pick is Dior’s Rosy Glow Pink blush as that’s my favorite pink blush (and favorite blush too!) along with Natasha’s Love Cheek Duo blush. I couldn’t stop using the Rosy Glow blush all winter. Hands down my favorite pink blush and possibly my favorite blush of all ~ and I have enough blushes! 🤦♀️ I just adore pink blushes and that one is just so fresh and brightening! And the packaging is just too cute and compact! Lol! And also, I love Dior’s Lip Glow Balms! I’m on my last lap of the Raspberry and Halo Pink and just last week picked up a replacement of the Raspberry. I would rather NOT live without them! Great favs for Dior, girl!! 💞🙌
I agree with the packaging things you mentioned. Sometimes it gets too extravagant and hard to store, I just love the old school sleek packaging. I especially dislike when a blush or bronzer has the lifted or rounded lid 🙄
Fun fact - I found you through Michelle! One day she just popped up in my feed and in the very first video that I watched she mentioned you. I’m very grateful that I found both of you ❤️ Great video, I absolutely love to get some opinion about more expensive products. I’m really trying to find some good stuff in drugstore but nothing works for me. It’s so frustrating. 🙈
I hunted down an old but not used Dior Meteore because of your recommendation, and I absolutely love it. Your soo right, it's definitely unique. The sparkle/shimmer is very sophisticated. Dior has discontinued that product here in Germany as well, so sad.
Love this video!! Would love to see more! Some ideas for themes: BIPOC owned brands, Drugstore, makeup artist owned brands, best classic/staple products, "mid-range" brands (like high end but the more affordable ones) would love to see vids on any and all of these! 😁
Love all your top pics! I really did think the nars liquid blush in hot tin roof would have made a guest appearance though, I searched for that everywhere back in the day! X
Omg Sephora no. 13 lip stain is how I found you!! I swear you were all about the Boscia BB cream at one point too? Haha what a throwback! Lots of love 🌻
Dior is one of my favorite lux brands and has been since my 20s! Their original brow pencil was soooo good. I don't know how many I went through! I also love their Backstage collection and so many lip products. And Fahrenheit, even though considered "masculine", is still one of my favorite scents ever. Please do more of these, Lan! Loved this video. 🥰🥰
I appreciate that none of your favorites were a surprise - even the honorable mentions 😁 With nonstop newness, it's nice to remember the consistent faves.
Michele is wonderful and so thorough with her reviews! She is a Queen of the luxury/high end brands.. Love seeing influencers shouting out other influencers as well! 💕
Allana - I have watched you since the beginning, but never comment. I want to let you know how much I enjoy your self-effacing humor and how happy I am for all of your well-deserved success!! 💕💕💕
Love Michele Wang! I'm guessing most of your followers are pretty savvy and already follow her! About Dior, my first luxury brand purchase back in the 80's. No brand launches and discontinues product more then Dior. All my favorites over the years have been discontinued...the bb cream, meteor, nude foundation, the list goes on. *sign*
Sephora #13! How did I forget about this? You influenced me to buy so many & I wonder if I still have them my collection and if they’re as beautiful as I remember!
Agreed on the Dior brow and lip glow products -such great performance! Thanks for the Tom Ford recommendations; I love all his scents -can't wait to try some makeup from him (plus who can disagree with Celeste Barber that he's the best?!)
Not surprised with your picks....all great products!! Would love to see picks on UD, MUFE, TARTE, HB, BENEFIT TOO FACED. Long list lol, but then some drugstore favs like NYX, elf, Milani. Etc....Can't believe EDM is halfway through 😟, love ya lots xoxo 😘🥰🧡🤗👍💕
The dior brow definer in universal brown, and the merit 1980 brow gel in the brown shade (middle of the three they have), are a beautiful match! Then I set them with the ABH brow wax. So quick and easy☺️
I learned my lesson quickly when I first purchased the Nars radiant creamy concealer in custard.... when in fact I am vanilla. Couldn't fathom why it wasn't working for me at the time.
Full Fat Lashes ITS SO ELEGANT, can à mascara be elegant? 😂 To me yes. I'm obsessed with Pillow Talk Blush too, I've the original Blush and intense one. The lightest is so soft and classic as you said, it goes perfectly with every makeup! Nars eye primers are incredible, I love both clear and Tinted one! Xx
I just started following her and yr right..her work ethic is!!!!and she is so thorough. I want to try Tom Ford Foundations and I have forever wanted to I am just afraid i would like it lol
I love when other UA-camrs find inspiration from fellow UA-camrs! I also enjoy Michelle Wang's videos, and I'm so pleased you decided to do your version of this! :))
Yes part 2 please!! I’m surprised by the door blushes for some reason. Lol. And YES YES YES to the Tom Ford badass black mascara... absolutely nothing else compares to it. Nothing. (I have to thank you for my love on a $48 mascara 🤣)
I just have to say that I love your content and I really appreciate your honest opinions! So refreshing to see someone that cares about quality and doesn’t fall for every single new trend. Been following you for so long now and I get excited every time you upload! Lots of love from Sweden ☺️
Are you able to use the matte Tom Ford eyeshadow's, wet and dry? I use a lot of Kevin Aucoin's makeup; I particularly love his Sculpting Powder for contouring - it has more of a grey undertone with no glitter. I also love his Celestial Powder, in Candlelight - it gives you that natural glow from within! His Glass Glow Face and Body illuminator is next level glow!!! ✨ He also has the most amazing makeup brushes! 🙌🏻
When you said (of the Dior shadow topper) “She’s expired” it sounded like a new Patrick Ta product. And frankly, i would be all in for a “she’s expired” “she’s exhausted” “she’s burned out” collection 😂
Omg same 😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funniest comment ever! 🔥
The ‘parenting’ version 😂🤣
Omg LOL LOL 😂
Ahhhh I love Michele's channel and her make-up style, she's such a delight. So glad you gave her the shoutout she deserves.
She’s amazing! 😍
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
You’re the best! 🥰

I would love to see a top 5 from 5 "clean" brands: Kosas, Ilia, Nudestix, VBB, etc. !!
Aldo maybe a skincare edition ? With brands like Youth to the People, skinceuticals, etc
Yes yes yes!!! Would appreciate this too
yeeeess!! it is what i was gonna comment
I LOVE that you promoted Michele Wang!! She's a favorite person of mine. You two both make the BEST recommendations!
Im here to speak up for a part two of this series with your top 5 from 5 CRUELTY FREE Brands 🐱🐰💗 Fenty Beauty, NYX, ABH, Nudestix, Huda Beauty, Danessa Myricks.. The list goes on and on! ✨💕
Would love this! Too bad Nudestix isn't CF though, would love to use their products again.
Yessss. That was my first thought when I saw this video. Maybe no just cruelty free but more clean beauty brands. But cruelty free is a must!!!
@@ElinevanderLaan too bad their owner is a Zionist too 😬
Yes yes yes - a “must” for me in order to purchase.
@@ElinevanderLaan I bought the Nudestix kit that Lan came out with last year, was that last year? Pandemic has screwed up my sense of time.

Love that you shouted out Michele! You two are in my top YT favs 💜💕💜
Do a drugstore version, too!
Yes great idea!
No I really don't like drug store content. Such a waste of time for me and we all know that Alana isn't actually using drug store stuff over her other stuff lol
Yes a drugstore version would be great! Also, I’m obsessed with your nails lately. Please share what you are doing!!
What a great video! 🤩 You definitely have to do a part 2 (at least!) so you can talk about Kosas, Fenty Beauty, YSL
Woah! Caught within moments! 💫 Love that you took on this Michele Topic! Adore her. xx
Allana, you should totally check out Phytosurgence! They are a small brand from Canada, their Wild Oak shade is similar to your discontinued Dior shadow topper!
We need a lipstick declutter video! Also, I think the Flower Beauty powder and the No7 powder are supposed to be such good dupes of the CT powder.
Also the Nabla Powder. It is said, that CT and Nabla are produced in the same factory.
This is so exciting Allana, I enjoy so much your content as much as I love Michele’s content and it happens that today morning I uploaded my version of this video 🙈 What a treat to get to know your favorites on these lovely brands. BTW Your lipstick is everything! 💖 XO! 😘
Michelle is AMAZING!!!!
Love these kind of videos. Absolutely love Michele’s channel and recommendations.

Please could you do Chanel?
Or maybe once you’ve done all of them do a battle royale where you pick one only for each brand and that way we know your makeup must haves 🥰
Oooooh I like this idea! Can she do it though? I feel like Lan has a hard time picking favourite favourites.
You and Michele are my fav/most watched channels so I love that you did this video too, can’t wait to see more of this series! 😊
please do more of this format, maybe with influencer or makeup-artist brands! Oh and of course drugstore 😍
I would love to see a skincare version of this 💗✨
I would love to see you do this with Fenty, Hourglass and Glossier!
I love this type of video because you actually get to hear how a product performs, I actually bought the Dior rosy pink blush because of you! Also loving this shirt and necklace duo ✨🙌🏼😍💕
Winding down to your videos every night really is all I can ask for ❤️❤️
I’m so surprised that you didn’t include Marc Jacobs in this video! Speaking of which, are they going away? All of their products are on sale at sephora and have been for some time now. Great video idea!
There are so many brands that this video could be done on in future!! More to come for sure 🥰
It's so cute how often you and Anna refer to eachother in your videos!
If I had to choose favourite humans in the world … Anna Anna Anna hahahha
I love it when you and Anna mention each other in your videos 🥰 love a good crossover!
Yes to a part 2! I found Michelle Wang relatively recently and I am in love with her! She is so calming, so lovely and radiates energy. Allana and Michelle are my absolute faves x

I’m quite anxious at the moment so these regular videos are so calming and lovely xx
It's about the reliable things in life for me.
Sending you all my love bb ❤️❤️
I agree with the packaging things you mentioned. Sometimes it gets too extravagant and hard to store, I just love the old school sleek packaging. I especially dislike when a blush or bronzer has the lifted or rounded lid 🙄
Allana, please do more of this type of video and with other luxe brands! Love you! Thank you in advance!
I would love to see more videos on Luxury brands!!! There is not enough videos out there for luxury beauty 💗
Love love Michelle Wang! She's so classy and always so gracious
Yes!!! Part 2 please. The Dior picks were a surprise, besides the Brow Styler.
Michele is AHHHMAZING 💯❤️ Love your version of it too!! 👌😊 Maybe a drugstore and middle-end versions of this? 🙏🙃
How can a video be so therapeutic and informative at once 😌😌😌❤️❤️❤️ absolutely LOVED it 🤩🤩
PS Can you do a clean beauty version?
girl you post so much its so so so impressive too. just a reminder that you're killing it and my favorite corner of the internet. love you
This blue looks fab on you!
Thank you ❤️❤️

Charlotte - glowgasm is still available at Sephora in the states. bought it because of you and i'm obsessed 👄
Isn’t she gorgeous 😭
SAME!! It is so good and smells exactly like a ring pop ❤️
Dior is one of my favorite lux brands and has been since my 20s! Their original brow pencil was soooo good. I don't know how many I went through! I also love their Backstage collection and so many lip products. And Fahrenheit, even though considered "masculine", is still one of my favorite scents ever. Please do more of these, Lan!

I loved Michele’s video so imagine my excitement when I saw Lan posted her version. Squeeee! 😍
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Charlotte Tilbury, if you’re reading this, please bring back Glowgasm and Pillow Talk Glow!
✨ Those are just magical ✨
Agreed 😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻
GLOWGASM isn’t discontinued lol. Allana is trippin 🤣
@@loren9597 show us the way (international shopping)
They don't sell the one she was featuring they just have a different colour now.
@@nicole_w_s yes they do
Jewelgasm & Glittergasm are at Sephora US right now actually! Probably not for long though.... 🙃
you're a real one❤️
Michele is wonderful and so thorough with her reviews! She is a Queen of the luxury/high end brands.. Love seeing influencers shouting out other influencers as well! 💕
Would love to see a video series of 5 favourites and 5 least favourites from different brands!
I love the comments about the Nars lip color. I love using Shag.
I would love to see your top 5 for Natasha Denona and Pat McGrath.
Michelle Wang is the luxury queen! I love her too
I love these videos!!!! 🥰🥰🥰 Also, I would LOVEEE to see more swatches of the products 😟 pretty please?
Allana - I have watched you since the beginning, but never comment. I want to let you know how much I enjoy your self-effacing humor and how happy I am for all of your well-deserved success!! 💕💕💕
I brought dolce vita because of your recommendation and it is one of my favourite lip products along with pillow talk☺️

Live loved the Tom Ford cream bronzer for years! Now I have to try out the Charlotte Tilbury bronzer since you like them both.
Not surprised with your picks....all great products!! Would love to see picks on UD, MUFE, TARTE, HB, BENEFIT TOO FACED. Long list lol, but then some drugstore favs like NYX, elf, Milani. Etc....Can't believe EDM is halfway through 😟, love ya lots xoxo 😘🥰🧡🤗👍💕
Yes please to part 2 😍 could you do it for Marc jacobs, Patrick Ta, hourglass and Chanel? Thannkkssssss xx
The dior brow definer in universal brown, and the merit 1980 brow gel in the brown shade (middle of the three they have), are a beautiful match! Then I set them with the ABH brow wax. So quick and easy☺️
I learned my lesson quickly when I first purchased the Nars radiant creamy concealer in custard.... when in fact I am vanilla. Couldn't fathom why it wasn't working for me at the time.
I love that packaging of the CT bronze & glow palette! So glam!
Oh I think you’ve sold me on more Tom Ford 😫 looove that lip gloss!!
Kudos for shout outs to fellow you tubers 😇
Yes it was Jamie Genevieve that said about Nars Radiant Creamy in Custard. She’s actually mentioned it recently and in a video quite a while ago
JEWELGASM IS BACK BABY! Just bought it on Sephora last week 😍😍
love this video idea!! id love to see you do this video with your favourite drugstore brands!! xoxo
Very useful video. I'd love to see the lipstick collection and maybe a declattering 🥰
Full Fat Lashes ITS SO ELEGANT, can à mascara be elegant? 😂 To me yes. I'm obsessed with Pillow Talk Blush too, I've the original Blush and intense one. The lightest is so soft and classic as you said, it goes perfectly with every makeup!

When I saw a tittle I just think of Michele Wang video that she did recently :) Hope to see more brands in the future
“With Tray today” 😂😂😂
dior's lip balm is my FAV! also just discovered michelle- loved this video idea and so glad you did it!
Omg! I love Michele so much
Would love too see all the possible categories for this type of video! Top pick would be for a true clean beauty version next!!
I just started following her and yr right..her work ethic is!!!!and she is so thorough. I want to try Tom Ford Foundations and I have forever wanted to I am just afraid i would like it lol
I'm lucky to still have my Dior Meteore. Also picked up the shade Millenium before they discontinued them.
I love when other UA-camrs find inspiration from fellow UA-camrs! I also enjoy Michelle Wang's videos, and I'm so pleased you decided to do your version of this! :))
Omg I loved this vid! Allana + luxe brands + favourites 🤩🤩🤩 (and a Michelle Wang crossover too, aaah what joy)
I got the CT cheek glow earlier this year from her website and it’s still listed (though sold out), so I do think it comes back from time to time!
I really like the consistency of Mars packaging too
Love this video idea! Keep ‘em coming! You always make such great recommendations.
Yes part 2 please!! I’m surprised by the door blushes for some reason. Lol. And YES YES YES to the Tom Ford badass black mascara... absolutely nothing else compares to it. Nothing. (I have to thank you for my love on a $48 mascara 🤣)
Your Picante ad came on just before this! Bless! 🙌🏻
hourglass!! Laura mercier!! Since your collection is so extensive, I think it would be nice to see your fav 5 lip products from your fav 5 brands!
I would love to see your top 5 colors from mac and etc
I easily could have watched this for each brand in separate videos! Also would love to see this for other brands (or all). Lolzzzz
The Charlotte tilbury lip and cheek tint is back in the UK! So excited to try
Can you do a video of organizing your lipsticks glosses/Declutter
I officially need one of the Tom Ford quads thanks for the reminder!
When you can stay up late, cause it's Friday, and be one of the first to watch Allana's video ☺🙌❤ Loving EDM!! Thank you!
This is such a vibe and I’m feeling it toooooo 🤗 love winding down on a Friday to Allana!
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love this! I’d also like to see your favs from Gucci and Chanel 😍
LOVE Michele Wang too! I never miss one of her videos.
