Gave me flashbacks to a Samantha Ravndahl where her husband bought her dollar store makeup, and I wanted to wash my hands just seeing it. Which I know is giving so much bougie bitch snob - trust, I’m totally down with drugstore, but like, there is a LIMIT, and Sam found it. Kackie flirted with it but deftly maneuvered out of harm’s way for the worst bits.
Well, I’m pretty sure Jordana cosmetics went out of business a few years ago and NYX hasn’t packaged their blushes like that for awhile, so I applaud your bravery😂
Okay honestly I can't speak to the ingredient quality of those palettes bc I've never heard of those brands but that eye look is straight up fire 🔥 loving the pop of blue you went for, almost looks like an extension of your painting in the bg
I got some thing similar once :( I got sucked into a UA-cam ad about liquidation makeup in these mystery boxes that promised to have a certain amount of luxury brands… in each box. I think it cost about $60 when it came I was so disappointing!! it was a box full of AliExpress makeup that I looked up and probably was worth a total of $20 and frankly I would never feel comfortable putting on my skin:( I even contacted the company to see if I could get a refund or return the box and they said I would have to pay for the shipping to China and then once it got there they would decide if I got a refund…. :/ Biggest waste of money in my life. I still think about it to this day
Initial thoughts... I saw the title and thought "Oh this is going to be good!!" I just love your ability to pull any look together. Have to say the journey of this look was quite entertaining!! I definitely appreciated this Monday Laugh!!! Thank you for truly embracing not taking yourself too seriously and laughing. I truly enjoy every video. 😁
I was yelling at you to go for the blue inner corner situation, I love how that looks! Maybe for a short, could you swatch all the brown shadows in the kaja bento’s? I’d love to see the differences. Thanks✌🏻
The first couple minutes in, I was like “oh nooooo, this is rough.” Now I’m halfway through and this look is somewhat coming together! I still would just tell a beginner on a budget to get elf or colorpop though
This is so much fun! Love this concept, and really enjoyed your mindset throughout - giving each item its best shot, and allowing yourself to be pleasantly surprised. It was super relaxing to watch 🥰 much love!
Could you possibly elaborate on your use of contour to combat “pink face”? From what i’m understanding the contour color helps add balance and I can’t quite put my finger on exactly what, but there’s something there that I want to know more about. I am sensing an “aha!” moment just around the corner………
I came here for a review, but I got an adventure. And a bit of a health risk maybe. 😅 Yes, more please. It’s really fun seeing you react to and work with makeup you’ve never seen. Kind of like The Splendid Table: when the host of the show calls someone and has to make up a dish with whatever the person has in their fridge.
This was such a fun video! And I have to say… I kind of love the lip color on you (with the gloss though), just maybe with a more-neutral-not-so-pink blush & eye look 😂
Max Factor is still in business. Not sure if that eye pencil is new. But I’ve even learned Pat mMcGrath did something with the company a few years ago. This was fun. Most of it I haven’t heard of. Wonder if they are from other countries. Definitely do this again.
I seem to recall Max Factor is alive in the Uk but there was a legal issue and it’s not in the Us now? Is that right? Wendy Rowe might have worked with them?
I’m not personally super into mystery box reviews, but a similar sort of “trying potentially chaotic things from online” genre that would be really fun from you is to try makeup products that are primarily advertised on IG! I know you did that once with that guided eyeliner product thing and that was cool and useful!
Ooooooooo! You could fr do a Chopped: makeup edition. Get someone to put random makeup from your collection in a basket and you have to make a full face with it. Also, there's a chance you could get the same product (like, just lipstick or just eyeshadow). 😂 Also, utensils may or may not be included.
In defense of Shop Miss A, their AOA Studio products, like their brushes and their sponges, are quite nice for a dollar a piece, but I'd stay away from Amuse products.
What a fun video. 😂😂 I’m so glad I found ur channel cause I truly smile while watching. I’m a nurse and at the end of a long difficult shift tonight you brought me joy and a laugh. Thank you so very much for that. ❤❤❤
That was legitimately very fun. There have been a few instagram make up brands I've been super curious about that don't have wide distribution if you'd be willing to try some kitschy stuff again.
Idk if Cargo cosmetics is still in business, but their beach blush used to be sold at Ulta and was my first blush love. It was in a metal tin and was a blonzer before blonzers. ☺️
Sadly, I think you got duped. What was in that box wasn’t even close to the worth of what you paid. Thats mostly stuff you can get in the wholesales district for $1-$5. I actually saw those sponges in the checkout line at TJMaxx today for like $4. 😢
Looked beautiful Kackie esp with the combo of the top and headband. ❤ . this kind of mystery box is not for me ( only because you asked , otherwise I wouldn’t put this comment down) while I don’t buy products showcased on YT rather do the HLP thing and dupe the vibes or a technique, I like to watch your usual content and store the info it in my mind palace for a future purchase. This box was too scary! 😂 I wouldn’t buy or even try. Mainly because with drugstore or lesser known brands like this box, on melanated skin they are just Ashy or have no pigment to show up on my skintone. Having said that I enjoyed this one esp for the info you gave us on Amazon bulk sellers to Etsy sellers pipeline. In conclusion ( jeez this is turning into a thesis) Whatever video you upload I l appreciate the deeper level of info you give us - on a technique, or a pigment, on the commerce, the thought behind the concept of the product. Etc.
$68 sounds too good to be true so either she's a goddess or duping us. 😂 either way, I'm very curious about her boxes. I'm on a complete no-buy on everything. So, once again, I'm here to live vicariously through you, Kackie. 💚🖤
LOVED this video! You did such a great job. In terms of doing more, I low key feel like these are kinda wasteful? I’m sorry, I’m not trying to be critical. I think doing one to test out and share with everyone is SUPER HELPFUL. I just think that, given the possibility that you’ll get makeup that’s expired or that you won’t use again, it might just be wasting money and makeup? I don’t know, I could totally be wrong, and I obviously know that the waste we generate as consumers means nothing in comparison to corporations. Just something I thought.
Oh God, does Cargo still exist? I have one of their blushes - I think it's at least 8 years old LOL - but I don't hear anybody talk about the brand anymore.
Interesting video concept. Since i was not really interested in the products it self, I would prefer a "mystery box" from a friend or a other content creator with more products that would fall more in the product range you normally use. Like the video you did recently with Hannah Louise, but exploring the products by our own without instructions. Or one of these gift sets / "best of beauty xyz set" / sale sets were they throw a bunch of diferent products together and call it a set ;)
Soooooo you got alot of Aliexpress/Amazon products lol 😆 This was $70?? Oh no lol. But can we talk about how much of an awesome idea this is though? Curating cosmetic mystery boxes. And it's not just random crap stuff that a brand sends out that everyone might get, it's products that someone at one point bought for themselves. And if I'm understanding this properly, you give the seller specifics about the kind of products you use and each box is tailored to you. This is such a great way to get rid of makeup that would otherwise collect dust and go to waste while still contributing to the economy. It's a way to support each other or small business. And it's a fun experience.
I was reluctant to try grande cosmetics, I love their lash and brow serum (same thing different applicators) and sometimes different amounts of product.
I used to buy kleancolor and amuse at those cheapo beauty stores. They suck!! The eyeshadow was chalky and no pigment and the blushes were super bright and stained my cheeks. I ended up throwing them away.
Suppose you could use the brushes for a kids painting arts and crafts project. After years of using whatever brushes, I splurged and bought the BK brushes. Worth every $$
It would be really nice if Elf did mystery boxes like this... I feel like you could get a really awesome full face of Elf makeup for $68, and it would be at least 5 times better than all the stuff in this box.
Wow, what a ride ! Hat’s off Kackie 👏 hope those products weren’t off and your skin is ok! Just wondering, are you going to throw all that make up straight away? 🤔
I was like "but I really like your lip colour!" and then I realised my phone's blue light filter was on full blast, which made it look quite rich and autumnal. 😆
I loved this! your creativity and perspective are so invigorating. just watching you experiment and trouble shoot is a vibe for me, well done as always
Ok you have to already know I'm living for the blue inner corner. I actually adore the lip too, especially with the gloss on top! The mascara is super pretty too. That being said, if I spent $68 USD on this, I'd be a lil deflated. However, I also have a huge makeup stash and have tried hundreds of different products over the years and very much know what I like. Like you said, this might be a nice thing for a beginner- and I actually think it'd be a fun giftable thing to do with your friends, like, bring them this box of random makeup and open it together.
The chaotic energy of having dermatitis and trying on a box of mystery makeup 🔥
Pretty on brand for kackie 😂 throw caution to the wind! 🌬️
🤣
And following the mystery box endeavour, we’ll be holding a 2 minute silence for Kackie’s skin at 11:00am GMT tomorrow… so very brave ❤️
Hahahahaha
I'm late but currently holding a moment of silence for her.
This is the wish version of a dollar store overstock makeup box! You are a brave woman for this!
Gave me flashbacks to a Samantha Ravndahl where her husband bought her dollar store makeup, and I wanted to wash my hands just seeing it. Which I know is giving so much bougie bitch snob - trust, I’m totally down with drugstore, but like, there is a LIMIT, and Sam found it. Kackie flirted with it but deftly maneuvered out of harm’s way for the worst bits.
Could you try the mystery boxes that Theresa is Dead has recommended? I bet you’ll have more luck with those!
Yes!!!
“ This looks old as the hills” 😅😅 The strain of you trying to keep such a positive outlook is such a mood
Only 5 min in, and all I can say is...thank you for taking one for the team, friend.
Well, I’m pretty sure Jordana cosmetics went out of business a few years ago and NYX hasn’t packaged their blushes like that for awhile, so I applaud your bravery😂
😂😂😂
Huh, no wonder I haven't seen jordana in a while. I loved their liquid lipsticks and mascaras as a super broke college student

Saw title and thought “oh that’s a fun idea!” Five minutes in “I hope she’s ok after that” 😂
Yeahhhhh I love this general idea, but most of these items are literally $2 Aliexpress/Amazon products.
Def not worth $70
Watching you apply the blue eyeshadow and this little pleased smile keeps popping up on your face
your scalp always looks so nice and clean and i know that sounds strange but i can’t say it any better
The first couple minutes in, I was like “oh nooooo, this is rough.” Now I’m halfway through and this look is somewhat coming together! I still would just tell a beginner on a budget to get elf or colorpop though
Definitely
I felt the same
I feel you on liquid eyeliner. I have one that came in a boxycharm YEARS ago. It only stays to make sure I never think I need to buy one. Lol
This looks like all Shop Miss A makeup. You definitely took one for the team but made a great video.
I think the character on that eyeshadow palette looks like it's from the movie 9 with the little animated puppets in the apocalypse world. Fun movie
This is so much fun! Love this concept, and really enjoyed your mindset throughout - giving each item its best shot, and allowing yourself to be pleasantly surprised. It was super relaxing to watch 🥰 much love!
The blue inner corner is EVERYTHING and I feel that makes the look wearable and fun
Max Factor is still very much a thing in Europe, by the way 😊
I normally dont use drugstore makeup, but I have a couple of powder products from max factor that are 🔥🔥🔥

Totes respect your choice of whether to review isamaya! Really love your look in this video too
This was the Halloween content I was waiting for 🙌🏽 FRIGHTENING.

I came here for a review, but I got an adventure. And a bit of a health risk maybe. 😅 Yes, more please. It’s really fun seeing you react to and work with makeup you’ve never seen. Kind of like The Splendid Table: when the host of the show calls someone and has to make up a dish with whatever the person has in their fridge.
I like the softer blush, beautiful!
This was such a fun video! And I have to say… I kind of love the lip color on you (with the gloss though), just maybe with a more-neutral-not-so-pink blush & eye look 😂
Actually , You managed to create a lovely look from the “randos” in the box. I’m impressed. However, your skills are apparent, sooo there’s that 😉
Max Factor is still in business. Not sure if that eye pencil is new. But I’ve even learned Pat mMcGrath did something with the company a few years ago. This was fun. Most of it I haven’t heard of. Wonder if they are from other countries. Definitely do this again.
I seem to recall Max Factor is alive in the Uk but there was a legal issue and it’s not in the Us now? Is that right? Wendy Rowe might have worked with them?
I’m not personally super into mystery box reviews, but a similar sort of “trying potentially chaotic things from online” genre that would be really fun from you is to try makeup products that are primarily advertised on IG! I know you did that once with that guided eyeliner product thing and that was cool and useful!
9:16
Me, wearing a Becca highlighter in 2022 and loving my life because of it: yeah, I know 👼🏾🥂 rip 😌
Please do that again. It was interesting seeing random brands. A follow up on how the products lasted would be nice.
Ah man, that Cargo Blue Ray stuff was pure late noughties/ early 10’s Beauty UA-cam energy
I really appreciate the quirky, hold my wineglass while I do X, energy you give. It’s very relatable for some reason. ( snicker)😊
Very random. Can you ask Kaja to make a green stack for us please? No browns, no khakis, no offense. I can't stop thinking about that lmao 🤡
I love the video and how you styled the look, would love to see more adventures like this 😁
I love it! I love over the top Kackie in general lol xx
This is why I can’t be out here buying mystery boxes.
I have a contour stick from Jordana and I alternate it with the Westman Atelier, that’s how much I love it.
Ooooooooo! You could fr do a Chopped: makeup edition. Get someone to put random makeup from your collection in a basket and you have to make a full face with it. Also, there's a chance you could get the same product (like, just lipstick or just eyeshadow). 😂 Also, utensils may or may not be included.
I discovered that mascara during one of the Ulta 21 days of beauty events and it is absolutely PHENOMENAL!!!!! 😍😍
In defense of Shop Miss A, their AOA Studio products, like their brushes and their sponges, are quite nice for a dollar a piece, but I'd stay away from Amuse products.
Oh boy I’m psyched for this concept
What a fun video. 😂😂
I’m so glad I found ur channel cause I truly smile while watching. I’m a nurse and at the end of a long difficult shift tonight you brought me joy and a laugh. Thank you so very much for that. ❤❤❤
That was fun to watch and very different from the other channels.
Not connected to this video..but..have you ever tried the huda beauty concealer ? What were your thoughts
always lovely to open a mystery box
Definitely do again!
This store is having a laugh with this box. Dollar store going out of business vibes.
💀
That was legitimately very fun. There have been a few instagram make up brands I've been super curious about that don't have wide distribution if you'd be willing to try some kitschy stuff again.

Hi Kackie! ❤️ if we’re aiming for affordable how about a Shop Miss A video?
This is probably my fav video I've watched of yours lol nice
Love this type of video. Your talent definitely shows thru even working with ehh not so good makeup. Hats off to you! 🌟🎩👍
I know Teresa is dead has done 2 of these and hers had high end like TF. Maybe try her contact.
Yes, Maxfactor exist, mostly in europe drugstores, we have their shelves
Oooh fun! I’ve literally never watched one of these and I’m excited
Well. This was…a thing. 😂
I’ve gotten Poshmark mystery boxes that are much less risky-but also more pricy.
Way to be a good sport!
I was reluctant to try grande cosmetics, I love their lash and brow serum (same thing different applicators) and sometimes different amounts of product.
I love this Kackie!!! What a great video idea!! It was super fun to watch as well!!!!
I used to buy kleancolor and amuse at those cheapo beauty stores. They suck!! The eyeshadow was chalky and no pigment and the blushes were super bright and stained my cheeks. I ended up throwing them away.
That voo doo pallet seems nice fr lol
That green in there is pretty
loooove this content! more mystery boxes!!!
I can identify with liking more neutral lip colors because I also have bigger lips and when I wear a bold lip my face is just…lips 👄
Suppose you could use the brushes for a kids painting arts and crafts project. After years of using whatever brushes, I splurged and bought the BK brushes. Worth every $$
Midway thru I said to my TV: “better you than me, Kackie.” 😅 That lip color was really pretty on you, tho, just not with that eye.
Thank you kackie for getting me through folding my clothes and I love the blue ngl 😂.
I laughed realllllly hard when you said the lip color was "that side of dead" 🤣
I've always wanted to try a mystery box of makeup I might ask the hubby for one from poshmark tho lol
I love the blue inner corner
It would be really nice if Elf did mystery boxes like this... I feel like you could get a really awesome full face of Elf makeup for $68, and it would be at least 5 times better than all the stuff in this box.
That's a great idea

I was like "but I really like your lip colour!" and then I realised my phone's blue light filter was on full blast, which made it look quite rich and autumnal. 😆
Yoooo!! I've been waiting for this one!
Wooo so excited!
omg the inner corner is ✨🦄✨🦄
very entertaining!
loved this video concept
The lip color was great on You, but maybe it will be better with bare eyes, just mascara, brows, liner... something like with red lipstick.
You’re selling me on that eyeshadow palette haha
here we are!!!! what a party
I loved this! your creativity and perspective are so invigorating. just watching you experiment and trouble shoot is a vibe for me, well done as always
Wash those brushes girl 😂
Cargo is actually a pretty decent brand.
very very excited omg
Ok you have to already know I'm living for the blue inner corner. I actually adore the lip too, especially with the gloss on top! The mascara is super pretty too.

the moment of silence for the inner corner was so fking cute
Fun… thanks
