    Please do this worst of luxury as a vlog every year. It is like a conversation with a bestie. You nailed it. I knew Chanel and Tom Ford would be on the list. They been effing up. Even the Chanel 2022 preview looks meh. I wonder if Chanel changed the blush formula due to ingredient shortage or just to save money by switching ingredients. That is usially what happens in the fragrance industry when a scent is reformulated. I can't even use some those new TF quads cause they are too light for me. I can't wait til you try the newest quads with the new formula. The Fenty Skin tint looks ok on me initially but it doesn’t wear well throughout the day.

We expect more care and higher quality because that's what we're paying for, and these big classic luxury houses need to know the weight of their brand name just ain't gonna carry them if they keep phoning it in.

    I’m so frustrated with Chanel it started when they reformulated their cream bronzer which was perfection just needed more shades. They downgraded the ingredients and decided coconut oil was a good idea. I think they are using cheaper ingredients to get more profit and have really lost a lot of customers in the process. They certainly didn’t lower their prices to reflect the cheaper ingredients. Sending you oodles of love

      Its unfortunate that they are doing that,it ALWAYS happens they do it to save $$$,and the product goe s to hell in a hand basket! And then you have to search for a replacement for something that WAS perfect....Or they discontinue the product.. You cant win...... In the end those companies are bitting themselves in the a** because pwoplw ars going to turn away from their products. And their reputation is gonna suffer. At thjs point thsy are existing just by reputation ALONE... Gabrielle Chanel must be rolling in her grave now....

    I remember when you reviewed the “new” reformulated Chanel blushes months ago. I had one of the old ones (loved it) and immediately went out and bought 4 of the old ones. Before I purchased, I asked the saleswoman if they were the new version and she apologetically said no, the store hadn’t gotten them in yet. She looked quite surprised when I said “Good! I’ll take these 4.” Obviously she doesn’t watch reviews so I told her don’t be surprised if the reaction to the newer ones isn’t positive. Situations like this are one of the reasons I watch your channel. Aside from excellent suggestions for good products, you also give us a heads up about what to avoid. Happy Holidays!

      Fair enough. But how can one wear the same blush for approximately 4 years? A blush takes a year of using. By the time you've finished one something new on the market elsewhere. I've stopped stockpiling. Once I got to using the product I had fatigue and over it.

    Thank you for telling the truth about Fenty. There was so much hype in the online beauty community about it and I kept waiting for an "the Emperor has no clothes" moment, because it's really not that good. I bought it with high hopes that it would be better than their other face products but after wearing it 4 or 5 times, I quietly decluttered it because it's so dry and unflattering.

      Yes! The original foundation gave me lizard-woman vibes, which was quite a dear considering how oily my skin was at the time. The red lip gloss/stick, the Stunna one, was gross on my lips. That was enough to make me pass on the brand. That said, my bestie loves the brand so I bought her Fenty products for her birthday.

    I totally agree. I purchase across the makeup spectrum- drug store to luxury. When I buy luxury it’s because it’s either (and hopefully a combination of) - innovative color story, a better (new) performing formula, or the packaging and purchasing experience. If I can’t get those things for the extra $ that luxury lines require forget it. Oh and the Valentino release, totally with you. I didn’t purchase anything from that launch because it just looked cheap to me and I can’t get past it.

I want amazing makeup holders that are going to last years and I can change the insides over and over, lets do metal/glass/leather/enamel/wood, etc. I would love the VB metal packaging to be refillable, or VB and estee lauder, imagine house of sillage type makeup compacts, zeesea if they were refillable. Or if it's plastic make it beautiful and heavy and long lasting.

I’d rather see nothing new than a refresh on a perfect thing. You had me crying with the packaging part and that red plastic holder was like a Barbie toy. Immediate pass lol. Enjoy your Sunday and kiss miss butters!! Great vlog. Love ya 💕🐶

    My mom told me her sister recommends I try Chanel lipsticks because they're the best and I said "please tell her I'll try them when she gives them to me" 😂

    I remember one of my first higher luxury end makeup was Chanel, so it has a place in my heart. I was in highschool and my mom would get me Chanel makeup and loved it all. And yeah I will say the blush I recently got, is very subpar. However, I haven't had a Chanel blush in awhile, but I do remember them being good and this one is just ok.

    Ah, Michele, I love your honesty about all of these products! It’s just so nice to hear. I sit here at home, reading/watching peoples’ love for these things and I think I’m in the minority when I think opposite. I couldn’t understand why people were going crazy over that Gucci palette. It looked cheap online, even though the price point was high, and the color story was nothing special. As someone who loves some things of Pat McGrath, I’m not a complete loyal fan and it was nice to hear you say exactly what I was thinking about those products. Thank you for being so honest! Happy Holidays, Michele!

    Love your shearling jumper! It’s funny but one of the nicest lipstick bullets has to be the Estée Lauder color envy lipsticks. The navy and gold bullet feels so luxe and the magnetic top is all quality. It also makes a nice sound when you close it. The formula is a lovely cream and the colors are all gorgeous. So why is Valentino putting out cheap plastic? I think they realize half their clients are now young influencers who just want to be attached to a label. They don’t actually care about the product itself? It’s just for a photo after all… I imagined it was going to be like the really old gold and red YSL makeup packaging in the late 80s that my mum used. I’d never known such luxurious makeup packaging as that!

    I’m not saying a little birdie told me all the other Tom Ford quads banded together and put the bad ones in timeout, but tweet tweet. 😉 Also, yours are the only vlogs I watch, and absolutely loved you combining that format with a makeup-focused idea, so I’m Team Let’s Do This Again Soon. Hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday season! ❤️

    Living for sassy Michele! And as you held up the refillable bronzer the first thing I thought of were those toys you then mentioned straight after I thought of it! I would've twisted that bit off and thrown it out only to realise it was supposed to stay there. Packaging is so important and is inherently part of the luxury experience 👏

    Hello Michele! 🥰 uff I *loveeee* 'worst of' vids - so fun and helpful (saving $ haha!), and I agree that the low-key format is better than a sit-down setup 😊 I love your honesty so much Michele! I'm also heartbroken about Chanel blushes - my precious Jersey blush is perfect and I cannot believe they would mess with it!! (18th birthday gift from mum and the most treasured in my collection.. 💔).
    Here's to less flops and many fab releases in 2022!! 🤞❤
    Sending lots of love to all! X

    Michele, really enjoyable video! Glad to see such candor in a years end video. 🙌🏼 I have to agree with you on so many points you made, from PML, to Tom Ford quad shadows, to crappy packaging on luxe products ie Hermes, Valentino. For me, this year game changing experience was Victoria Beckham Beauty. If these Luxe beauty brands want to bring their A game, they need to see what she’s been bringing to the beauty industry table. Her packaging is impeccable. Her products have not disappointed. All are just beautiful! Plus, she’s a clean brand. I’ve been a tremendous PML fan. But, this year, I’ve found myself purchasing VBB and leaving the latest and greatest of so many other luxe beauty brands behind. They’ve become boring when they could be innovative or luxurious. Great video, great dialogue! Thanks!🤗👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

  • @kathlo22
    @kathlo22 2 роки тому +2

    I agree with your comments on the PML palettes. I was really looking forward to the holiday quads. Once I saw them I was disappointed and knew I would not get them. I fear this is her new direction with the quads, they have been getting less special with every release.

    This is a great video and I really appreciate your honesty... Sometimes I'm just fed up with all those influencers who always give positive reviews about everything, especially high end makeup and skincare... But the fact is that sometimes it's so disappointing that you pay a lot of money and the product sucks.. or it's just nothing special.. Thank you!

  • @nickl8177
    @nickl8177 2 роки тому +4

    I think the reformulation has something to do with the sourcing of available ingredients. The new ingredients are more readily available and less expensive. So, the quality took a hit but Chanel is betting the customer doesn't notice or care that much. Look at the Advent calendar...cheap items sold at a high cost and it sold out very quickly. It's a math equation for them (as it is in any business).

    • @beckyc.5743
      @beckyc.5743 2 роки тому +1

      Your point about availability of ingredients (and the associated costs) didn’t occur to me but makes a lot of sense; however, it doesn’t mean I have to purchase from brands that are feeling the pinch.

  • @merinafeldmann1849

  • @Shelbys_Smalltown_Beauty
    @Shelbys_Smalltown_Beauty 2 роки тому +1

    I would totally totally agree with you about Pat McGrath and the line that she had come out for the holidays. This was my first year to buy and splurge on the collection and I really thought long and hard about it but I got it and when it came I was so thoroughly disappointed because of the the fact that I got the same look from those pallets exactly like you said. Granted I still love the quality which you can't find in every luxury brand, but when people spend their hard-earned money on luxe brands, they expect a little more "creative "inspiration" from their collections. I hope that someone/everyone from the design teams from ALL makeup brands could see this video because of the articulate, honest way you let them know how we all, as consumers, feel! Your an amazing motivational speaker and companies would do their due diligence to actually listen and take your advice. MERRY MISHMAS!

I know I couldn't be the only one

    Hey Michele! Do you like your baked formulas? 😂😘 (Nothing but peace and love hun.❤️ I love a good rant and I am with ya.💯 The Hermes blushes were definitely lackluster and they should of went with a baked gela type formula, & PM shouldn’t of removed the baked shade either. So totally on board and I hope brands step it up in 2022.)

    Thanks for giving your honest opinion. I bought the Chanel holiday eye quad and frankly am disappointed & regret purchasing it. Regarding PM, after purchasing Divine Rose II, I passed on everything else. It all looks the same. Regarding Tom Ford eye shadows, I bought zero this year and luckily never bought the Fenty foundation. I had to fight myself 😂 and held back from buying the Hermes blushes and glad I did.
