      I've only watched 1 other review of this rebrand, and yours is much kinder than that one. I really want to see that Fire Opal highlighter, but as like a blush topper or something. I saw another UA-camr use a Melt highlighter that was a deeper shade as blush and now I want to put all the highlighters everywhere, esp the shifty ones.

    When a brand re-brands as "clean" I feel like they need to explain what was so "dirty" before? Why did you feel the need to "clean" it up? If a clean-up was needed why did you feel like it was okay to launch the dirty version to begin with?

      YES exactly! Especially since her brand is so new. The clean beauty movement was well underway. So if it was so important...why didn't they launch a clean beauty brand to begin with? Not like they'd been around for 20 years and reformulated as the science and technology improved. The knowledge was available. They decided not to use it.

    The OG Kat Von D product packagings reflected their brand identity very well, to the point that if you hand-over a KVD compact powder, or any product, to a makeup lover years ago, they can tell that it was from KVD, even if you hide the brand label.
    I was expecting the same for Haus Labs. Cover the brand name, and it'd be just "another makeup product" in the sea of many. Did the products reflected Gaga's essence and artisty? I love her but no.

      The same way Gaga is Politically and socially conscious, she chose to be eco conscious with her brand.

      It's actually kind of revolutionary, because she wanted to create makeup that MATTERED.

      @@tonic5179 I agree with pretty much all of the statements besides that the rebrand is revolutionary. Sustainability is the new trend because that's the consumer demand right now. There are a lot of brands that come out of the get go with "sustainable packaging" and "conscious sourcing". Good formulas are the bottom line, because the brand with bad formulas simply won't survive. There's no real innovation on being a clean brand with somewhat sustainable packaging, it's a MUST. Lady Gaga as a person is amazingly outspoken, but what does her makeup brand bring to the table? Do they donate to social causes or support any communities? I don't see anything like that on their website. And btw I'm not hating on her brand, I think it's cool, it just doesn't stand out for me in the sea of other brands. Kinda sad, because Gaga as a person definitely stands out and is an icon.

    Had a chance to try the Haus fluid paints.
    Key difference I’ve found is that they never seemed to completely set for my hooded, folded lids. I’d still get creasing, even though they share the same quick-blend time as the about face and Danessa products. It’s like the dry-down curve is just shallower. Other than that, the pigment content is comparable, and the colors are strangely overlapping with about face’s graphic, festival vibe.
    The creasing seems fixable, setting with powdered shadow, but then - why are we bothering?

    • @PigeoneerToy
      @PigeoneerToy 2 роки тому +1

      Do they crease even if you apply an eye shadow primer? Not a concealer, but an actual eye primer?
      What about Danessa Myricks 24 hours cream? How long can you wear them on your lids without creasing? And do you need an eye primer? I'm asking bc many shadows crease on me even with primer, especially with creams and powder formulas that are "silky" like Kat Von D or Viseart. Revlon Colorstay cream shadows are the only creams I can wear so far, and for powder formulas Colourpop and even Wet n Wild work better for me bc they're "drier" but still blendable.

    • @jobertbarin9736
      @jobertbarin9736 2 роки тому

      I’ve not yet tried bothering with priming the Haus Labs fluid paints, if only ‘cuz it seems counterintuitive for me for a fluid product? I can try it, I know about face carries a primer for their fluid formula, so there may be peculiarities to the fluid vehicle that any ole eye primer may not work.
      That being said, I haven’t encountered the degree of creasing with about face and Danessa’s products that I’m seeing with the Haus Labs products. But then, I’m also not been trying to push these (or other ultra-pigmented products) to very longwear uses.
      In both cases, powder is the one, one thing that’s really preserved the longevity. The only caution I’d offer is the risk that piling on lots and lots of product may make creasing worse.

      @@jobertbarin9736 thank you for your detailed answer. I wear an eye primer under every eye shadow: liquid, gel, cream or powder. Even some pressed powder formulas crease on me as stated above, I think that "silkiness" entails more oil in their formula to make it softer and more blendable, but it will cause creasing in a lot of us with normal to oily skin. Such a shame bc I really like Viseart but I won't purchase anything more bc of that.

I think people are being way harsh on her because it's "GAGA", because of a lack of wild and crazy colors. She doesn't always look that way, so it makes sense to have softer colors too.

    Haus Labs' definition of "clean":
    "As there is no global standard for 'clean' beauty today, we feel it's important to be transparent about our approach to clean.
    'Clean' at Haus Labs means so much more than the 2700+ questionable ingredients we do not use. We prioritize the safety, quality, performance and sustainability of every ingredient we use and consciously formulate our products to optimize performance with skincare. We are curious and believe that by continuously seeking out and experimenting with new technologies, we can push the boundaries of innovation at the intersection of art and science.
    Our products are made with superior quality, safe synthetic and natural ingredients because we know that not every natural ingredient is good and not every synthetic ingredient is harmful. We source our products globally, leveraging innovation expertise and technology.
    We believe that kindness is not only being kind to ourselves and each other, but also being clean, cruelty-free, vegan, and kind to our planet. We are actively committed to using glass, aluminum, cellulose and post-consumer recycled materials when possible and FSC-certified paper sourced from sustainably harvested forests to reduce our climate impact and reach our goal to be 100% carbon neutral by 2027.

I fell for it too and would always talk about it until I started formal education on the subject at university (chemist).
      I'd suggest watching the channels Alexandra recommended on the video, one of them being Lab Muffin Beauty Science (a professional in the area), where she goes on how clean beauty isn't backed up by reliable sources:
      ua-cam.com/video/wkWX2AXNuxg/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LabMuffinBeautyScience
      Video title (so you know before you click): "Clean Beauty Is a Scam and Won't Give Us Safer Products | Lab Muffin Beauty Science"

    I purchased the bronzer in Light Level 1, and loved it. I Also got the same highlighter you used here, the orange lip oil which is pretty, and I got 4 paints and really liked the blushy shade as a blush.
    Having said that, I actually own just about everything from HL’s 1.0. Their glam attacks were pretty cool, and they had the best lip liners in my opinion. Their old bronzers/highlighters duos and blush/highlighter duos had a lot a fallout which made me waste a lot of product, but were super rich in pigment. I also always loved their lip crayons, and I guess the rebranded ones are the same formula.
    The only thing different in this launch, are the paints. I don’t really see this re-brand as a huge improvement tbh. I do prefer the packaging for the bronzers and highlighters since the older ones were in cardboard components, and these feel a little more lux.
    But the brand overall felt more Gaga in it’s first launch; even the shade names were very Gaga. Idk really know how I feel about this whole clean aesthetic.

    Here for the honesty ✨💕 As an esthetician, I agree with you about the whole “clean” trend, which is what it is, a trend. I understand wanting cleaner makeup, but there are so many ingredients that aren’t considered clean in other countries. But there are other reasons too that makes me kinda giggle like dude c’mon. Like a lot of the time, to even get the stamp of clean, brands usually have to pay big money for it.
    Also, I’m curious how you feel about Gwen Stefani’s GXVE! She is also a “clean” brand and just launched new products. She has a blue eyeliner that you might like as well, I thought it was pretty creamy, doesn’t skip. But I’d love to see that and the celebrity makeup ranking!!!

    When she first launched with liquid shadows everyone was like "I hate liquid shadows theyre just not my thing, why would I use these" and now evvvvveryone is doing liquid shadows and eye paints 😂 the only difference seems to be that they're really trying to make it clear that theirs aren't just for the eye, Gaga even used Blush Matte as a blush in a tutorial.
    On the packaging, I'm conflicted. So many said the OG packaging wasn't "Gaga" enough (I guess they wanted it wrapped in meat idk lmao), and now with the rebrand I'm seeing people say they miss it and that it was more "Gaga". Either way, I dont love that fancier packaging raised the price significantly, especially on the bronzers and highlighters 😞
    I liked what I saw in sephora swatch-wise, but overall I miss the fun shade names and some of my favorite products are MIA as of rn 🥺

I don’t own a SINGLE product from any of those lines, no, not even Fenty, I usually prefer to buy make-up artists’ lines (on the pricy scale) or drugstore brands. Also, I have a light olive coloring (a bit darker than yours but still on the light spectrum) and always felt that most products are geared towards those with medium or deeper tones. Which is great, all for inclusivity, but I feel I can find something suitable in other brands. So yeah, interested to hear your thoughts to see if any of the products mentioned are worth it!
