You are the best for reviewing in my book. You keep it real and simply state we probably have all of this in our collection already. It’s silly to me to keep purchasing before our existing collection expires. I didn’t always feel that way.
I think it’s great that you’re using what you have. I’m at a point where I have so much it’s become stressful and I don’t know what I have. This year I’m definitely holding back on my makeup purchases
Today (1/7/25) marks 40 days since my last beauty purchase. So I’m feeling great about that. I haven’t looked at any new release content on UA-cam or Instagram in over a week. Looking forward to using a critical eye with you in this video. ❤
I was JUST thinking about how I hadn't seen you upload in a minute; happy to see this video! The Maison Louis Marie scent no. 4 (Bois de Balincourt), that comes in that sephora sampler, is super delicious and is on my wishlist. I'm not buying the sampler tho 😏 2025 is def starting out as a tight-purse-string year for me.
I'm so bored with recent eyeshadow releases. After I got Poison Garden, I made a rule for myself to not get anything described as "grungy", "muted", or cool-toned. As a result, maaaybe Fuji Five Lakes or whatever the new Nomad palette is apply, but I've got Blends so 🤷♀️ That being said, a lot of the reasons I like getting new eyeshadow palettes are for the look of the thing, rather than how unique they are within my collection
I hope I can keep myself in check this year. Just under a year back into make up so there’s been mistakes for sure plus now I’m more familiar with the brands that I wasn’t before. Time to use what I have in both make up and nail stuff. Enough is enough gd it. I need new windows in my home, new tires in the summer, probably offer up keep on my car that just turned 6 like a starter and brake lines and crap. These apps and texts make it too easy and hard to resist. $10 off $40 and all the rest. I also need new glasses and contacts too. Where in the heck am I going in all this make up. Feels good to buy and have but I’ve gotta use it now and get back to some other life goals.
I'm not allowing myself to spend more than 20 minutes a day on Instagram so I didn't know about most of these releases. I'm only interested in the new Mac lipsticks, but I need to wait to see if I really want them or not, or it's just the urge to get something new. I maybe have one nude lipstick so that's why I'm tempted. I'm not in the market for anything else so far and I feel satisfied with what I have 😁 I hope you enjoy the holiday break with your family. We missed you 😊
I remember seeing a video where Lisa was talking about how she used to have bad acne and would spend an hour covering her complexion with a super tiny brush/macro mirror.. and pin point conceal her spots. I used to have acne and I get it.. I think that's the idea behind the concealer pen. I don't have acne anymore but I'm considering that.. travel friendly or touching up on the go. Sometimes I have tiny little blemishes and you really don't need full beat for a few spots.
MBA Cosmetics and Notoriously Morbid have THE same basket print palette! I have the MBA Hippie Soul so I was like wait a minute! Also I want the Zamaya perfume buttery biscuit?? Sold lol!
I went a little ham on the MAC lipsticks. The lipsticks themselves were a planned purchase in my low buy but I should have set up better parameters for how many I could buy. I bought 12 lipsticks (only 10 unique shades because I couldn’t wait for MAC to ship and bought 2 of them at Ulta). I’m a work in process, okay 🤷🏽♀️ MBA Cosmetics is so random. That blue palette is pretty but I’m not buying it. I’m going to hold off on the Unearthly palettes for now. I’ll get them eventually because I love the brand but I’m still really enjoying the last three palettes they released. That price per ounce for that Lisa Eldridge concealer is crazy.
So glad to see your beautiful face! The green palette from MBA looks good but that purple color scheme is tired. And they churn out palettes like Colourpop, so they're suspect to me. The PMG lip pencils are beautiful but true matte, so beware. Why is Viseart still a thing? Im currently not in the market for a foundation. Im a full face, flat matte girlie si nothing has my interest. I will pickup the One Size primer this summer, but I will be using up one of my many staple foundations that I already have. I low key want all four of the C-Beauty palettes 😅
I need to adapt to your we don't need it attitude. I got that dark cherries lotion. Didn't need it and it smells just ok . Not really like they claim it smells like . Slight cherry scent .

Thank you so much! I share your same sentiment about repurchasing more and more of the same!
I think it’s great that you’re using what you have. I’m at a point where I have so much it’s become stressful and I don’t know what I have. This year I’m definitely holding back on my makeup purchases
Thank you so much! I totally get that! I am right there with you!

Eyeshadow palettes just look so beautiful! I am really trying not to be tempted this year!

That is such a great point!! Thank you for sharing that with me!

The Mac collection is for Chinese New Year which is Year of the Snake this year.
Oh! Makes perfect sense now!
If you could do a video on strategies for shopping from your stash that would help me anyway. Plus shop your stash videos are great.

Marked safe!!!!!
That scalp spf looks great to try!!! I might pick it up
Moonlit realm looks like the Ireland 🇮🇪 one from Nomad

I'm so over pre-orders. I won't order anything that isn't already in stock.
Same! Not doing any preorders this year!
I've been on a no buy for awhile. Already broke it in 2025! I just had to have Melt's Monster eyeshadow quad...it's so me!!! 🎉
I am sure I will get this on sale!!!
Cursed moon looks amazing
Looks so good!
