Mercedes!!! Fancy to see you again! Now I 5 pots of Manasi and I found a way to distinguish them if you're into to know 😉 Also, I'm intrigued by haute cosmetics (gotta support Canadian brands!), however, i found their website information-over-load and uneasy to navigate through. Would you be kind enough to make a video dedicated to the brand? Love ❤️
@@ZZgem OK, cut off a small piece of transparent tape, tab a little amount of the product from the pot, transfer it to the sticky side of the tape, then stick it on top of the cap, there you have it!!! 😉
@@beyondcoco124 smart! I have other brand’s pots that this could work with. I suppose I could make labels too with my label maker. Keep finding reasons to label everything in a desire to at least feel organized even if not exactly there yet 😊
Yes Haut is a big challenge, even beyond just navigating the website! I'm a different shade in all of the complexion formulas : p So yeah it's not like an off the rack experience. For whatever reason I still love it. Definitely hoping to do some sort of brand guide this year, hopefully sooner rather than later :)
I also will never be on tik tok I can so relate. Your hair looks amazing I was wondering what you changed about your routine. It looks incredibly healthy
Wow thank you! My hair forever frustrates me! The only major thing I've been doing differently is trying Hairprint which is a hair re-pigmenting product.
You: "I am not on Tik Tok and never will be." Me: 😍!! Great favorites and I appreciate your thoughtful reviews. I've been using DIY treatments on my hair and it's really responded so I was paying close attention to your haircare section and looking forward to trying the Good JuJu bar products. I've also been working w/ a Chinese herbalist this past year and I was surprised and excited to learn about the Bio HerboloQi brand. I will definitely check it out!
Omg hi Cheryl! Feel like I haven't heard from you in ages but loved seeing your comment :) I think you'll like BioHerboloQi if you're into Chinese medicine and herbs.
I had just invested (after trying several samples) in several Blissoma products because their products were being offered at discount & then EWB announced their closing and so of course, despite not having had a chance to try their products, I had to stock up on some I’d been eyeing. 😅 💸 I saw the other comment about Live Botanicals…I’m actually using few of their products right now. I don’t really dislike any, but some are meh. I always have wondered why no one talks much about that brand. I see quite a lot of talk about Laurel, but haven’t tried it. I probably won’t be trying much else until I’ve worked through my Blissoma & EWB hauls 😆
Blissoma is very OG green beauty and I think Julie, the formulator really knows her stuff as far as herbs and such. I find the brand overall nice and gentle and suited to sensitive skin which is me. Laurel has a lot of great products and some are directly comparable to Earthwise, like the Laurel Sun Serum v. Earthwise Ruby. Re: Live...it's very clear to me after observing the brand over years that they aren't original, and having tried their products while some can be "nice" they're just missing something - as you point out.
Nah not really, if anything it sort of made my hair feel dry. I don't care for the fragrance either. I dunno I mean they "work" as in they lather and get the hair clean (which used to be a huge issue in eco hair care!) but they just aren't it for me.
My sensitive skin did well with Earthwise, BUT NOT Live Botanicals. Once I had an issue with a LB product and the customer service was less than wonderful.
@@lamouretlamusique so true...their oils and serums are not nearly as good as ewb. Liked only their body oil which they discontinued. Hope lepaar comes out with an aloe based serum
I feel like these two brands were in competition with one another. I used to subscribe to both mailing lists, one brand would have a sale, the next day the other one would. One would post something on instagram, next day the other one would seem to troll them. I quickly lost interest and unfollowed both!
Hi Mercedes! I have discovered a number of really beautiful quality products through you 2022 namely Inlight, EWB, more (m)anasi7, ora wellness and mera merus. I also tried Gressa makeup for the first time - thank you!!
Asti it's my pleasure to share and connect with you! I have also been inspired through your Ayla Beauty sharings and have started to order from them! Love the lip balm

@l'amour et la musique Can't wait to watch the Haute video. By the way, love the color on you, it makes your features pop!

Great Best Of!! Thank you!!💜💜
Thank you Shaaron, hope some things piqued your interest!
@@lamouretlamusique I added a few items to my “Mercedes Recommends” Wish List. 💋💋
Every time I see one of your videos I get inspired to dive into some new topic! Very intrigued by the emf and homeopathy talking points at the moment
Such a high compliment, thank you! I love hearing that those things are of interest

What didn’t you like about the Bathing Culture S+C? Did it weigh your hair down any?

@@lamouretlamusique thanks!
I really think Live Botanicals is comparable to Earthwise Beauty for those that are looking.
My unpopular opinion is that that brand is ersatz Earthwise - in my experience I would lean towards Laurel 🤷🏻♀️

@@mary-qc3rf I’ve never used their oils or serums but their balms and facial mist are excellent.
