Sam's last couple of videos are a miniseries wherein a woman slowly falls back in love with a man who once wronged her, and that man is powder highlight.
SAM! My mom wants you to know that your peace lily probably needs a repot if it’s suddenly wilting on you. They like moist soil in warm rooms. Much love from a plant mom
I’m SO glad you decided to do this and I think you’re so dope for actually taking the time to think if you’d actually buy the product or not if it wasn’t sent to you, as a consumer it really helps to know you’re using that info to make recommendations too! Keep doin what you do gurl. 💙
I know you kind of struggle with being a UA-camr and I know that these kinds of comments are in the grand scheme of things, nice to hear but don’t actually have an effect, but I really want to say that I appreciate your videos. It seems so weird to have this affinity for a girl that plays with makeup that I watch on my phone in bed, but there’s just so much crap on here and you’re not crap. For people that love beauty and makeup, there’s a lot of the same content and with cookie cutter “influencers” and I appreciate that your content is thoughtful, and honest. Anyway, I have my period so I’m extra emotional and I’m like, really having a moment right now? So just ignore this, it’s fine, IM FINE.
Hugs, Baberaham. I feel ya. But Sam is just too cool, so real, you can't help but feel like "Damn, I could totally be friends with this woman. She gives it to you straight, is funny, and I appreciate a gal who can say 'fuck' appropriately!" LMAO. Maybe that's just me, but I'm guessing others agree. Anyway, be kind to yourself, have a good cry if you want (I always feel better afterward, myself) like over a sweet but sappy movie, cute puppy videos, long lost family reunion shows... Whatever works. Take care. You got this. 🤗
Omg you should do a half side of your face with your most expensive products and the other half with your least expensive! Without needing them to be similar (like it’s ok if your most expensive foundation is dewy and least expensive if matte) it’d just be cool to see how they compare without making it a “dupe” video.
Going through a breakup and the worst week of my life 😟 I've been watching your videos all day as you always distract me, this is amazing timing. My heart skipped a beat when I saw you uploaded. Thank you Sam 💞
So I was watching Elle S here on UA-cam and she spoke about beauty influencers she wishes created a brand. She said she can picture you making base products and cream products. So since everything you love gets discontinued, we have officially solved your problem lol
Can you do a full styling video? Hair, makeup, outfit, perfume.... I just want to hear your opinion about more things! Candles, oils, dog food?! 😂 Thanks for being you ❣️... that got sentimental.. someone take my weed....
Ive felt shit about my skin for as long as i can remember and last night i was just picking at it and then spent half an hour on skin care before bed. Today, when I woke up, sam had uploaded this and when she focused on her skin i just felt GOOD, like good, plain good. Because like when someone you look upto so much, love so much, admire and respect so much has the exact same situation as you, you just feel better. I dont even know how to describe this feeling but I just wanna say thank you. Thank you sam, for all that you do by being your authentic self. I love you. Thank you.
You are literally hilarious saying you get self-conscious about your blending. When I'm over here totally entranced by your skills with eyeshadow and have been for years!
I hate to say it, but it brings me some joy that the Safari palette didn't totally work for you. I was SO EXCITED when I got it, and it sucked. I returned it, and I never return anything. I was also really disappointed with that Pat McGrath palette - I couldn't get the shimmers to stay on my eyes no matter what base I used, and that's not a problem I ever have. All around, a luxurious disappointment.
I'm surprised she hasn't tried Clionadh yet, from what I've seen they're great shadows and an awesome little Canadian indie.. the 'paleo' palette will be mine, sooner or later. 🐢🐢 [still disappointed in the lack of dinosaur emojis]
@@rosiellagrace OMG! WTH, why no dino emojis?! Protest!!! I'd like a stegosaurus, pls. I mean, T Rex are obvs, so a good stego would be a nice complement! LOL. And a pterodactyl, repping the fliers (were there others?! Musta been, but can't think of ATM). Yep, dinomoji are long overdue! Get with it, software makers!
@@luna.37 thank you!! Where are the dino emojis?! Gimme a good 'ol sharp tooth, and I need a Little Foot.. some three horns, swimmers and flyers - just the basics, but give us something!
I feel like what you said about the Natasha Denona and Pat McGrath palettes are dead on 💯 They’re coming out with very unique colors, but you won’t use them everyday, and at that price it’s like mehhhh.
Jes Lewis nothing I saw here looked unique in colors, and definitely not once applied- if anything they weren’t showing true to color and would be a huge disappointment. I can’t believe people pay this much money some make up. Skin care I can understand, not for face paint you’ll wear 8 or 10 hours.
I agree they are not very unique at all and too expensive to have such inconsistent quality. It's not like I have been blown away either w looks people have done w ND or PML. I know much of it is done to personal experience but I'm just not convinced their price tags are worth it. People just have FOMO and want to have the it thing. But I have other stuff that give me killer looks and cost less
Real shit, I just try to dupe the ND & PM palettes concepts with colors I already own. I use them as a tipping point and inspo to come up with more unusual and editorial color combos. As for the unique finishes, you can always, always top regular metallic shadows (like Nyx prismatic, for example) with large particle/glittery colorful highlighters and loose pigments and get a shade that looks indistinguishable from Pat McGrath's special sparkly colors once on the lid. Don't buy into the consumerist hype just b/c something is marketed as unique. Probably most of us own enough of a variety of makeup to create similar effects and get use out of what we have already spent precious $$$ on.
3 new videos in a week and I feel like I’m in heaven. Bought the Natasha Denona Face Glow foundation and FAB Bendy Avocado concealer and I am loving both, because of that and you loving them I will have to stock up before I see “discontinued”? Wanted the Lancome Juicy Shakers and can’t find them anywhere! Thanks Sam!!!! Keep up this consistency thing, it’s working for me at least.
i just realized you are the only beauty guru that i'm genuinely obsessed with rn who hasn't been involved in some ridiculous scandal and it makes me so happy!! THANK YOU FOR BEING GENUINE AND AS GREAT AS YOU ARE... and hi to Matt!
Sam, you may not enjoy what you're doing, but just know that it helps a lot of us. Your refreshing personality makes me (and probably others battling depression) feel a lot less alone. Thank you. What you're doing does have meaning.
Haha! I love that you mentioned the "Christmas look" tizzy phenomenon. I think about this every year. Everybody is always talking about buying products for their "holiday look" and I'm over here going, "that is the one day out of the year that I get to sit on my couch in sweatpants with my family and truly RELAX." Maybe for a party...but do we really need to buy a bunch of new products for one or two nights?
I literally can’t stand (most) beauty UA-camrs and I spend most of my time watching Tasty these days. But I ALWAYS enjoy your videos and I’m ALWAYS happy to support you. Here’s to 1 Million. It’s LOOONG overdue and no one, in my opinion, deserves it more 🥂
I don’t know if you’re into movies but think it could be fun to do a tutorial series that uses film as inspiration! The girl with the blue eyeshadow in Moonrise Kingdom for example, or twin peaks etc
shitty week full of problems, misery (both financial and emotional), my best friend going through hell and not being able to do anything about it... it's nice to take a break and just listen to you, chill out for a while. you're funny and informative. thanks for the upload. ♡
PSA: If anyone reading this has a Five Below or 99 cents only store nearby, you HAVE to try the Smoke and Mirrors brand 6-pan eyeshadow palettes. Yes, they look like play makeup or a kid's watercolor paint set in the packaging, BUT they are ABSOLUTLEY. FUCKING. AMAZING. They blend well, they are soft and creamy and true to color, don't fade, and the colors and finishes are often rather unique. The metallics blow that red Pat McGrath one out of the water, they are so reflective they look wet. I swear to you that they are overall some of the most pigmented shadows I own, no fallout, and I'm more excited about them than my last 3 high-end purchases. End of story.
Genuinely the only influencer I trust for sound advice, USEFUL information, and lighthearted entertainment. Love you Sam!! Shoutout to a fellow Canuck :)
These consistent uploads are making my day tbh probably gonna have to pick up that Natasha Denona foundation during the sale even though I’m a ~tinted moisturizer~ kinda girl 👼🏼
I love how you mix tones and are actually daring with your color choices. You're an amazing artist and I really enjoy your videos! The way you talk makes me feel like we know each other and you're so relatable and funny! Love you Sam !
SAM, this video was such a great idea! Loved seeing how the really expensive makeup looks and then you provided dupes which is soooo great. And you also gave such honest down to earth reviews on all the products. Also the reviews were so detailed and helped us see your reasoning why you didn’t or did like each. Thank you!!!💜💜 Look at you being such an amazing UA-camr!!!! 😜
I feel like i say this on. Every. Single video you post, but seriously, you’re easily one of my top favorite youtubers. I appreciate how brutally honest, yet simultaneously fackin hilarious, you are.
Man, I swear, I feel like every time I’m having an awful day, you post a video and Sam.. thank you so much 💗 you will never know how much your videos mean to your viewers. Thank you for continuing to make videos and please never forget how amazingly talented you are 💗
I love how in depth your analysis is on this. It’s super helpful, and when I saw you finish your makeup and then there was still half the video to go I was like YESSSSSS lots of Sam talking time!
Yess!!! Breaking it down and keeping it real for the every day makeup user! Thank you for your unbiased, unabashedly and unapologetically, honest reviews! Love the fact that you offered similar options! And as always, your wit and sass crack me the hell up!
Your blending is fine! Don't feel self-conscious. I was watching on a big tv where any mistakes stand out strong and it still looks great. I agree that those five shadows look like just two. It looks lovely, though. I feel inspired to try a deep red look now, too. I don't think I have any shadows to do that with. I would expect red to look very mid-2000s emo, but it looks refined and beautiful on you. The application is lovely and the blending is impeccable.
It’s high time someone edited a video purely of the times Sam spoke about the discontinued Tom Ford concealer! 100% would watch 😂 also, Sam please try the latest Pat McGrath Bronze Seduction palette, a lot of youtubers seem to find it the best and most consistent yet and I’m dying to know the TRUTH of Ravndahl
The Tom Ford Cream Blush in Pink Sand is the most beautiful, glossy, wet look pink blush. It is super model skin deliciousness. It usually comes out with the summer collection but if you can find it, it is a must must MUST.
You should do a makeup series! Shaaanxo did gemstones, cocktails, horoscopes. You could do animal inspired, 7 wonders of the work, flowers etc. Makes you do something outside of the box.
I really appreciated this video format, and yes I very much agree that most youtubers have lost touch with the cost of makeup and its' shipping. Thank you!
*The bronzer* it could be different foundations & their undertones making the bronzer give off diff hues. Just a thought since w/creams you're placing tacky cream onto tacky cream, they're mixing slightly. With powders it's a bit diff bc they can't mix as much. I could be completely off here, but its logical ok! 😂
I love the in depth discussion on dupes and the TRUTH about products (especially the ones you got in PR). With respect to Soleil Tan de Chanel, I think the tone may change based on the undertone of your foundation. It is the most beautiful way to bronze though - looks so youthful and natural. Also LOVE MUFE HD stick - it's also a great replacement for the Hourglass Vanish Foundation Sticks (which are all too yellow for my complexion).
***SAM! That Chanel highlighter looks EXACTLY like the Aura Dew highlight for face, eyes and lips by Shiseido except that the shade Solar is a tad more Champagne -ey looking (and of course it isn't a powder). I really hope you try it on your channel because I've seen it in only 2 UA-cam videos, so far and both people (one of them Alanna Davidson) loved the shit out of it!!!! Please get it so I can live vicariously through you!***
Totally agree on the Chanel Soleil. It’s definitely one of my biggest regrets. I love that you included duplicates in this video. I look out for a Sam video daily!! You are so hilarious! The video made my day! 💋
Hey girl, this was a great video, Sephora has 20 percent off tomorrow and I always like to pick a high end product so I’m glad u did this. Thank u girl, your even funny in the description box, lmao love u girl , love your honesty ❤️😘❤️😘
Hush Sam, your blending is angelic, your eyeshadow gradients give me life. They're beautiful and perfect and if I ever manage to replicate them I will be able to die in peace.
Perfect timing for the second Sephora sale weekend especially since I've decided, for the first time, to genuinely splurge. Why have three jobs if you can't buy a high-end product every now and again amirite. Also I'm wearing almost the exact same eye look today! I decided to give the few shades in my subculture palette that I haven't bothered with since last year one more go, and after carefully patting on that deep cranberry shade and getting patch city (just like when I used it for the first time), I had to go back in and fix what I'd done...with a makeup revolution palette. The irony, I hate it. Speaking of which, if anyone out there is loving the ND Safari palette color scheme but is never going to pay that much for it (which, if I had the money, I totally would), Makeup Revolution, though they often put out garbage products, has a palette which I personally own that has many similar shades and performs REALLY well. It's their Soph x Revolution Extra Spice palette. It has the oranges, the yellows, the cranberries, and yes, even the olive. :)
Great video idea. I like that you say you run out of video ideas and come up w a new idea....feels like you're actually thinking and not just blowing hot air. Appreciated.
My broke ass thought I was being "high end" when I brought an urban decay lip liner and the too faced naked dolly lipstick for my wedding 😅😅 I have LOTS AND LOTS of make up.. ALL of it drugstore/cheap.. haha But in Australia make up in general is expensive.. loreal pro glow is freaking $30... (so like $28CAD) 😥 The UD liner and the two faced lippy came to $80
I purchased the first aid Hello Fab bendy avocado concealer after seeing your original first impression.....bought the hourglass veil powder at the same time! I’m obsessed! I love the skin-like finish, and the fact it look so nice even set ...most concealers look like shit when I set them....this just looks good! The hourglass powder is just flippin magic!
When I clicked on this video I was WAITING for you to whip out your louboutin lipstick!! Followed you for years and last time it appeared on your channel you treated it like a collectible so thank you for using it ❤️ thanks for the video as always Sam xx
Sam's last couple of videos are a miniseries wherein a woman slowly falls back in love with a man who once wronged her, and that man is powder highlight.
Kate Sanchez omfg I was wondering where you were going with this comment then BAM! So accurate.
😂👏
Lmao such a wild description but so true
LMAOOOO
Spot on!
SAM! My mom wants you to know that your peace lily probably needs a repot if it’s suddenly wilting on you. They like moist soil in warm rooms. Much love from a plant mom
Lor!!!!
I love that you actually made this productive rather than just "I BOUGHT EXPENSIVE MAKEUP"
yessssss
Omg yes! Didn’t even think of this, this is much better
I’m SO glad you decided to do this and I think you’re so dope for actually taking the time to think if you’d actually buy the product or not if it wasn’t sent to you, as a consumer it really helps to know you’re using that info to make recommendations too! Keep doin what you do gurl. 💙
Totally agree. I appreciate knowing if something is honestly worth it.
we (I) 👏🏼 love 👏🏼 a 👏🏼 consistent 👏🏼 queen 👏🏼
And a long-video’d (yes) queen!
"That was a long intro" she said after 40 seconds. I wish more youtubers were as quick, i usually skip intros.

#WellSaid
From one Jenna to another, I 100%, word-for-word agree with your comment! 💜
Going through a breakup and the worst week of my life 😟 I've been watching your videos all day as you always distract me, this is amazing timing. My heart skipped a beat when I saw you uploaded. Thank you Sam 💞

Keep moving forward, have relentless hope ❤️
Wish you the best love go out get drunk and live your best life it’ll get better ❤️
im so sorry girl!! just know you're loved and it will get better soon!!
my olive green-loving heart takes a hit every time you hate on olive, but i still come back for more 😆
i feel ya girl
Olive green is my faaaaaavorite, I feel you
I can't believe that when Sam talked about olive I thought about you... And I came to the comments and here you are Katie hahaha

J C plot twist: Sam makes the best products and then discontinued them all MWAHAHAHAH 😫😫
Gbabie lmao that’s so evil!!!!
Gosh I WISHHH!!! Everything she loves in products is exactly what I love! If she made products I would DIE
Plot twist: Auric
you guys predicted auric omg
Can you do a full styling video? Hair, makeup, outfit, perfume.... I just want to hear your opinion about more things! Candles, oils, dog food?! 😂 Thanks for being you ❣️... that got sentimental.. someone take my weed....

Natalia Jakubowska 💘💘💘
yes same! worst day haven't smiled all day & laughed so hard at delicately pigmented lol!
I love how she takes the time to show the dry and wet swatches of the green shade, and we can't even see them 😅
I love how she tried to show us swatches but nothing will ever be focused in Sam’s videos

The meteorites are a finishing, not setting, powder. Kind of like the Hourglass ambient powders.
I was going to say! Meteorites are subtle no matter how you use them, but I can't imagine trying to use them to set my undereyes. I love them though.
Your blending is so purposeful! It’s crazy! I aspire to one day have your blending skills girl
It’s high time someone edited a video purely of the times Sam spoke about the discontinued Tom Ford concealer! 100% would watch 😂 also, Sam please try the latest Pat McGrath Bronze Seduction palette, a lot of youtubers seem to find it the best and most consistent yet and I’m dying to know the TRUTH of Ravndahl
The Tom Ford Cream Blush in Pink Sand is the most beautiful, glossy, wet look pink blush. It is super model skin deliciousness. It usually comes out with the summer collection but if you can find it, it is a must must MUST.
Since we’re all waiting for season 3 of the Ozark -what are we watching now Sam??
THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE! (If you haven't already. :))
I Makeup Stuff thank you I’ll check it out 😉
Yes that show is amazing!! It’s scary but a great story! We just finished Hill House last night, loved it!
Haunting of Hill House, followed by The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina!
@@mmt2667 definitely Sabrina!!!
You should do a makeup series! Shaaanxo did gemstones, cocktails, horoscopes. You could do animal inspired, 7 wonders of the work, flowers etc. Makes you do something outside of the box.
Hey miss consistency ♥️
Ziyanda Kraqa 😏
I really appreciated this video format, and yes I very much agree that most youtubers have lost touch with the cost of makeup and its' shipping. Thank you!
Sam to the rescue on my boring day off! Yesssssssss! Loving this new frequency of videos 💚💚💚💚💚
You're the bomb for being so consistent! I love this video (I love all your videos BUT) this one is really helpful for the more high end stuff.
Really enjoyed this video! One day I'll be able to afford the Chanel Soleil Bronzer! Eyeing that baby for a while!
ALL THESE REGULAR UPLOADS AHHHHHHH MY HEART IS SO HAPPY
*The bronzer* it could be different foundations & their undertones making the bronzer give off diff hues. Just a thought since w/creams you're placing tacky cream onto tacky cream, they're mixing slightly. With powders it's a bit diff bc they can't mix as much. I could be completely off here, but its logical ok! 😂
Your honestly one of the best youtubers out there. they dont make em like you anymore
Would be interested in seeing more vlogs as well tbh!
I love the in depth discussion on dupes and the TRUTH about products (especially the ones you got in PR). With respect to Soleil Tan de Chanel, I think the tone may change based on the undertone of your foundation. It is the most beautiful way to bronze though - looks so youthful and natural. Also LOVE MUFE HD stick - it's also a great replacement for the Hourglass Vanish Foundation Sticks (which are all too yellow for my complexion).
***SAM! That Chanel highlighter looks EXACTLY like the Aura Dew highlight for face, eyes and lips by Shiseido except that the shade Solar is a tad more Champagne -ey looking (and of course it isn't a powder). I really hope you try it on your channel because I've seen it in only 2 UA-cam videos, so far and both people (one of them Alanna Davidson) loved the shit out of it!!!! Please get it so I can live vicariously through you!***
Was having a lot of anxiety but am feeling better after watching this. Love your videos Sam. Always be you, you’re so lovely ❤️❤️
I feel like that louboutin lipstick should be delivered by swooning Beauxbatons surrounded by butterflies for that price.. arghhh
Larly 😂😂😂
Totally agree on the Chanel Soleil. It’s definitely one of my biggest regrets. I love that you included duplicates in this video. I look out for a Sam video daily!! You are so hilarious! The video made my day! 💋
Hey girl, this was a great video, Sephora has 20 percent off tomorrow and I always like to pick a high end product so I’m glad u did this. Thank u girl, your even funny in the description box, lmao love u girl , love your honesty ❤️😘❤️😘
You’re so knowledgeable! Love listening to you talk makeup in depth. If you ever did a class I would attend!
Love watching your videos so much! Keep up the great work! By the way: excellent Christmas look!!!
@@gabriellageralyn No thanks
Hush Sam, your blending is angelic, your eyeshadow gradients give me life. They're beautiful and perfect and if I ever manage to replicate them I will be able to die in peace.
Perfect timing for the second Sephora sale weekend especially since I've decided, for the first time, to genuinely splurge. Why have three jobs if you can't buy a high-end product every now and again amirite. Also I'm wearing almost the exact same eye look today! I decided to give the few shades in my subculture palette that I haven't bothered with since last year one more go, and after carefully patting on that deep cranberry shade and getting patch city (just like when I used it for the first time), I had to go back in and fix what I'd done...with a makeup revolution palette. The irony, I hate it. Speaking of which, if anyone out there is loving the ND Safari palette color scheme but is never going to pay that much for it (which, if I had the money, I totally would), Makeup Revolution, though they often put out garbage products, has a palette which I personally own that has many similar shades and performs REALLY well. It's their Soph x Revolution Extra Spice palette. It has the oranges, the yellows, the cranberries, and yes, even the olive. :)
Bethany Whaley you have three jobs? Bruh what do you do? Happy splurging, good luck with your shopping!
That red eyeshadow IS mesmerizing, I was staring at it the whole time you were doing the price breakdown
Sam, you should check out Bad Habit Beauty, especially for the Pat McGrath dupes.
I really appreciate your honesty and your no BS attitude...
Ok I'm seeing you so often, we must have become best pals! Love you Sam xx
Great video idea. I like that you say you run out of video ideas and come up w a new idea....feels like you're actually thinking and not just blowing hot air. Appreciated.
Who doesn’t have a hair in their tan de CHANEL bronzer?! Lol
Paul Mariani I know right 😂😂
Haha for real!! 😂
She better have kept that expensive ass hair
Literally loveeee this eye look. Those colours look so good on you!
What an amazing way to start my day 😍😍😍
The amount of research/effort and knowledge dropped here. Massive well done girl! This was dope.
My broke ass thought I was being "high end" when I brought an urban decay lip liner and the too faced naked dolly lipstick for my wedding 😅😅
I have LOTS AND LOTS of make up.. ALL of it drugstore/cheap.. haha
But in Australia make up in general is expensive.. loreal pro glow is freaking $30... (so like $28CAD) 😥
The UD liner and the two faced lippy came to $80
Try the Milk Makeup Bronzer - it’s a cream stick ! Their cream blushes are nice too!
Would be hectic to see a skin care rendition of this !
Definitely my fave person on UA-cam! Ugh such a great humor, personality, and soooooo real!
glad you caught that pun.
I see when you upload and I save watching your videos for when I'm home alone on Friday nights so it still feels like I'm hanging out with a buddy.
Whispers: “God Damnit.” 😂
I purchased the first aid Hello Fab bendy avocado concealer after seeing your original first impression.....bought the hourglass veil powder at the same time!
I’m obsessed! I love the skin-like finish, and the fact it look so nice even set ...most concealers look like shit when I set them....this just looks good! The hourglass powder is just flippin magic!
hey sam we have matching pimples. love ya
When I clicked on this video I was WAITING for you to whip out your louboutin lipstick!! Followed you for years and last time it appeared on your channel you treated it like a collectible so thank you for using it ❤️ thanks for the video as always Sam xx
