I second this! It’s so important to listen to your body.. I ignored my body demanding extra rest for years because I didn’t really understand what was happening and now I have ME/CFS. Health is wealth and nothing is worth making yourself so stressed and sick!! ❤️
A mystery box would be AMAZING especially when we know it’s from you who cares for her things and if it’s gently used I’m sure so many of us would love it. 10000% prices have gone WILD some drugstore things are almost Sephora price! At Shoppers, foundations are like $25 plus and I swear before drugstore foundation was like $15 max no?! I was shook
Although inflation is a real thing, I think a lot of brands have used that excuse to grossly inflate their prices - not just for makeup but for clothing and accessories in general, especially the luxury brands. Even drugstore prices are getting out of hand.
I would absolutely use makeup that has been gently used, especially by someone like you who I know takes good care of their things. There is so much waste in the world - it makes perfect sense to pass things along so that others can make use of something that might otherwise end up in the trash bin. I was in Sephora when they were creating the tester for the new Patrick Ta pallet, and although I do NOT need it, it is beyond stunning!
As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of eyeshadow, (almost never) I appreciate your simple paired down eye looks stops me from spending money on things I won’t use.
@@allanaramaa would love to try some of your slightly used products. You’re a beautiful girl, love your tips and your choice of make up. I’m all the way from Newfoundland, the opposite coast, so it would be a treat to try your lovely collections.
I really like the idea of doing a mystery box and not simply throwing it away. It is less wasteful and a chance for people to play around with some new makeup they might not afford usually :)
I just want to say that in regards to wedding stress. When I was in the thick of wedding stress someone told me if even of everything goes wrong, at the end of the day, you’ll still be married. It was a nice reminder to try to just enjoy the day. So much goes into it with the planning and prepping (and the $$ of course!) But don’t forget to live in the moment! Enjoy the time and remember no matter what, you’ll wake up the next day as Dejan’s wife!
Yess queen! I’ve missed you! I normally don’t really notice when youtubers go MIA but with you I experienced some serious withdrawal. Glad to see you back, I’m ready for you to slay my fall😂❤
So sweet and considerate of you to offer a mystery box!!! I think it’s a nice idea!! I’ve missed seeing you!! I wish you all the best wishes for your wedding!!!
Hope your energy levels return, having a day in bed to recharge was just what you needed. My mum always says ‘sleep is the best medicine’ and she’s right. A mystery box sounds like a great idea, especially if the products have barely been used. Recycling at its best. ❤
Beautiful as always! 💕 And what a lovely idea to create some mystery boxes with your make up so it doesn't go to waste - especially since beauty prices have gone WILD!
Yes please on the mystery boxes!! Especially coming from you knowing you care about cleanliness love you girl and would love to receive a box from you ☺️
Yes yes please to the mystery box giveaway! That would be amazing and love the idea of not wasting those products! A good home is awaiting them for sure! Thank you so much for offering to do that! ❤
I’ve missed your videos, so it’s really nice to see that you’re back! You have had a really busy spring and summer. Lots of travelling with not that much time in between. Your body needed rest! The idea of a giveaway with slightly used makeup sounds great! I can’t wait for your next video! 💕
Absolutely yes to the mystery boxes!!! I would LOVE! Also, thank you for being so real with all of us who adore watching you. Life is crazy, times are wild. I’m glad you took some time for yourself. You deserve it! We support no matter what 🩷🩷 And enjoy your wedding hunni!!! So happy for you two 🤍✨
I'd love to see a video on which eyeshadow palettes you decided to keep! I know you've been loving the TF Mink Mirage and I want to find something similar, it's the only eyeshadow palette I'd need. Taking a peek at your curated collection would be so helpful!
Omg I would absolutely love any gently used makeup especially from your collection are you kidding me🤗 You have the best taste Allana. That would be so fun❤
I'd LOVE a mystery box! That's an amazing idea. I have the same problem, I think pallets are lovely, but I usually end up using bronzer and a topper. And we all trust and love you, it's not like something is possibly contaminated. Such a great idea!!!!!! I'd love, love, love one. I start a new job tomorrow, so getting some new eye pallets or makeup would be SO appreciated. Congrats on your wedding!
I’d love a mystery box, I have no problem with hand-me-down makeup! ❤ Also, I agree $100 palette is just inconsiderate of people’s budgets and too exclusive. Take care of yourself, I often get “sick” when my body just needs me to stop running around and rest. Take care, lovely 😘
You are such a busy lady! I think your body is telling you to chillax. Mystery boxes would be incredible. Have no prob if things have been swatched, or used a little. With everyday living here in Australia so expensive, I think it's great that you give things away. Lots of love.
I actually lovveee that you still consistently make youtube at all. So many youtubers switched up to only instagram or tiktok but I still loooove watching youtube as in the old days
The couple weeks before wedding can be so stressful! I feel you. But you are gonna survive it. And in the end when it's your wedding day nothing is going to bother you. I promise you. Because it's your wedding day. It's perfect even if it was pouring rain and the catering was late. You will not care because you just got married to the love of your life ❤
You are so beautiful ❤ I’ve been watching your videos for awhile now I think I started right after you finished your college years. I even remember when you moved out of your parents home. Wow, that was a minute ago. Anyway, I always go and visit you and you make me smile. Thank you Dayra in California
I think the mystery box is an awesome idea! I have super eyeshadow palettes that I still use and it’s still good. Regarding costs, it’s depressing how much things have gone up. Personally groceries have been the worst to shop for seeing how high prices have gone up.
You know what , I love that you call out the industry for these thing! The pricing is crazy , and through lock down and following people I have spent a fortune on beauty products what I do not need! I love your reviews and trust them as I have fallen in love with many, but I can’t afford certain things that I don’t even know are worth it , would LOVE LOVE ANY FREEBEE BAGS 🙏🏼 But still love your way of thinking. Congratulations on your training and all the best for the wedding girl xx🎉❤🏴
A mystery box would be very fun and so kind. Not sure about others, but lightly used are fine by me! Really nice to see a chill and chatty makeup video. Missed you lady!
Yes mystery box would be amazing! Especially powder products I don't mind if it's old. Sweater weather Lan is back! I feel like you should do a throw back mauve satin lip and gray sweater look- I feel like that was your signature when I started watching you.
I think all of your subscribers would love the chance to try some of the eyeshadows and it is so thoughtful of you to offer mystery boxes. Thank you for being you ❤
Yay! Missed your videos, glad you are starting to feel better. I would absolutely love some gently used makeup ♥️. The great thing about the wedding being at your house is that you can easily touch up whenever you’d like while knowing you have your entire makeup collection at your fingertips 👏🏼♥️🫶🏻. Had to add that yes $100 is crazy for eyeshadow!
So I'm super behind on videos, but I think a mystery box give away is an awesome idea! And I am so ready to see your wedding day pics! I'm so excited for you and Dejan to have your beautiful day of joining your lives!! ❤
Your description of your perfect eyeshadow palette is also MY perfect palette- Allana pleaaaaase collab with a brand to create this like you did Picante!!!
Yes, I would be so interested in the mystery box idea. I’m quite sure I’m not the only one. There’s nothing worse than waste. If the products can live on with other people. Personally I think it’s a an absolutely wonderful idea.
So thoughtful…..YES to a mystery box 🎁, I have no doubt anything in that box would be 100% more glamorous than anything I currently have in my make up bag 🫠. Can’t wait to see your wedding make up, classic beauty is your thang, don’t deviate and stress yourself out on your amazing day! Classic Beauty .
I caught myself last summer lusting over the ND biba pallet, so I went through my entire eyeshadow collection and took the little tins out and made my own perfect custom pallet. It’s ASTONISHING how easy it is to find your perfect shades and finishes across a couple pallets.
I would totally love that box! And I feel like giving away mystery boxes of lightly used/tested makeup to fellow makeup lovers in your subscribers list is a great way to avoid them going to waste, since you can’t donate them locally. Great idea! 😊
Absolutely YES on the mystery boxes! 🙌🙌🙏 Also, I totally feel you on inflation of items. Especially palettes. Over 100 for eyeshadow? It just seems like a LOT. But at the same time, if you buy one or two, use them to death for a year or more, then maybe it works out? Idk. It’s just expensive for all the things anymore. 🤷♀️🥴 Thanks, Lan, and glad you’re feeling better!
Thank goodness I'm not the only one with sleep / being tired, etc. 2 weeks ago, the same thing happened to me. After a week of basically no sleep ( It always happens like a week before my period) & is so freaking frustrating. But, I've always had sleep issues & it's just so tough when you have so much to do. The day it came, I literally slept the entire day, and most of the next, it took a few days to just feel myself again. Like, completely wiped out. Anyhoosens....I'd be interested, Lan. No doubt, your taste is impeccable and I'd be elated to get a mystery box from you! Xoxo ❤
a mystery box situation would be so cool, however, I also just went through an eyeshadow purge bc I never reach for them anymore, so I would def let others enjoy, but its a cool idea
Echoing somebody else in the comments, have been feeling Lan withdrawal and didn't even realize it's been a while since you posted. I'm excited for almost anything you put out, but at the moment I'm specifically interested to see more content surrounding your nuptials really! I'd be curious to see you just chatting about if this new life milestone has changed anything with your mindset and if so how, after some time has passed. I personally love you and Dejan's approach to commitment, and think I would make similar choices myself, and would just love to hear whatever you'd be comfortable to share!
Girl that is NOT your body failing you, that is your body telling you to take a break. Take care of you ❤❤❤
Truth 😅😅 the break was NOTED and taken against my will hahaha
I second this! It’s so important to listen to your body.. I ignored my body demanding extra rest for years because I didn’t really understand what was happening and now I have ME/CFS. Health is wealth and nothing is worth making yourself so stressed and sick!! ❤️
@@allanaramaa We care about you! ❤

Yes yes!
I agree! We can see that you take care of your products, so it doesn’t feel gross.
Used powders are ok yo me, i too have many palette that are mostly unused
YES!!!
OMG YES
Although inflation is a real thing, I think a lot of brands have used that excuse to grossly inflate their prices - not just for makeup but for clothing and accessories in general, especially the luxury brands. Even drugstore prices are getting out of hand.
Yup, corporate greed.
Totally agree, they're loving it.
I saw a L’Oréal mascara the other day for close to £20 and was shook 😂

You take care of all your things and you are so thoughtful! Yes, we really won’t mind if things are lightly used!!
So considerate! I think it would be really sweet if you did giveaways of the makeup you couldn’t donate 🤍
Done and done ❤❤❤
@@allanaramaa would love to try some of your slightly used products. You’re a beautiful girl, love your tips and your choice of make up. I’m all the way from Newfoundland, the opposite coast, so it would be a treat to try your lovely collections.
Yes to mystery boxes! No different than buying lightly used makeup from Depop and Poshmark. At least with you we know who used it 😂
I really like the idea of doing a mystery box and not simply throwing it away. It is less wasteful and a chance for people to play around with some new makeup they might not afford usually :)

And… the Patrick Ta palette.. I LOVE THAT! That’s the palette of my dreams the perfect balance of neutral matte eyeshadows ❤
Love day in the life vlogs, current meals you're liking, wardrobe additions for cooler temps, fitness... basically everything you're doing 🙃
MYSTERY BOX FOR THE WIINNNNN!!!!!!! Loved this video! Welcome back! 🎉

I am totally okay with that! Mystery box would be so fun and you won’t waste all of your products. Your also very clean with your makeup.
I would totally be down with gently used makeup...as someone who can only afford drugstore this sounds amazing!!! Thank you Allana...

Can’t wait to see your wedding make up, classic beauty is your thang, don’t deviate and stress yourself out on your amazing day! Classic Beauty .
I LOVE THE BARE BACK SHADE. also I’ve been mixing bareback and the Laura mercier cream blush in Provence together and I love it so much
I caught myself last summer lusting over the ND biba pallet, so I went through my entire eyeshadow collection and took the little tins out and made my own perfect custom pallet. It’s ASTONISHING how easy it is to find your perfect shades and finishes across a couple pallets.

Amazing idea for the mystery box !! The best idea Allana!✨✨
Yes please, we would love a mystery box!
Heck yea!! Mystery boxes would be great! :)
A mystery box would be amazing!!
Pleaseeee let yourself rest before your body takes its own break 💛 speaking from experience (and with love!)

Yes - would love a mystery box - so fun!
Echoing somebody else in the comments, have been feeling Lan withdrawal and didn't even realize it's been a while since you posted.
I'm excited for almost anything you put out, but at the moment I'm specifically interested to see more content surrounding your nuptials really! I'd be curious to see you just chatting about if this new life milestone has changed anything with your mindset and if so how, after some time has passed.
I personally love you and Dejan's approach to commitment, and think I would make similar choices myself, and would just love to hear whatever you'd be comfortable to share!
Yes to the mystery box! that'd be so fun :)
Yes absolutely I would take the makeup I am a huge makeup lover on a modest budget so it would be such a treat to get some new makeup to play with ❤😊
Yes !! Just a quick spray with antibacterial and she’ll be right as we would say in Australia.
I would definitely used gently used makeup! You could even come up with cute lil themes for each box!
Right before bed upload! Always such a nice surprise! 🥰 You guys should sleep now too!😴🫶🏼🤍
