VERY happy to see you speaking on Ensley Reign’s bullshit. Existing in the beauty space (and existing in general) as a queer nonbinary can be hella scary because I don’t know people I follow and support literally want my human rights stripped away until they actually SAY it… Thank you for being on the right side of this, Theresa 💕
Literally had been sitting here debating on which Ensley Reign palette I was going to buy with Christmas money after hearing so many rave reviews about their palettes. SO glad that I saw this before I made a purchase, I hadn't heard about the controversy and had to look it up. That's a big nope for me.
@@roselastname86 The duos with the lip sheers are new on the website, but the peptide lip oils have been around for about a year or so, and they're really nice!
@@katia_g213 kid hating ass wanting babies killed me 😭😭😭 nah but I hope you feel better soon ❤️ I’m in the process of trying to figure out the right balance and amount of meds for mental health as well so I feel you
i'm genuinely so thrilled that non-trans people are calling out transphobia against enbies. i see a lot of people standing up for transfem people which is fantastic but i feel like nonbinary and transmasc people can get lost in the shuffle and sometimes don't get as much serious support, it really warms my cold dead heart to see cis people standing against transphobia of all kinds. 💚
Yet no one had a problem when Huda said that Jews could eff off because she didn't want anyone who supported Israel spending their "blood money" on her products. The beauty industry is so full of self righteous hypocrites.
I just hope the trans people remember to return the favour and when they see evil types/paedos, pretending to be trans and loitering in toilets, talking to young kids and suggesting things, that they protect those kids, that they sound the alarm, because it not only protects the kids, it protects your reputation from the bad-eggs who are using you to cloak themselves, and as a survivor of child SA, I can tell you, they are everywhere!!!
yes pls. thought i found the Most Dry Shampooest to ever dry shampoo for $7, the Dove volume and fullness, but it broke my heart when the nozzle started breaking consistently across bottles :’( surely there is someone else who can beat standard Batiste?
Now I know if I ever happen to meet Theresa in person I will be pulling out a duck plump and slowly applying it while making uncomfortablely long eye contact 😂 but fr milk makes a good lip plumper that doesn’t hurt
I laughed so hard when Theresa said that lol 😂 I swear she’s so sweet and so unbelievably funny! Whenever I need to laugh or a break Theresa is my favorite ❤️ I hope your day or night was a great one @xlovviebowiex
Hey Theresa, this is a real question: have you ever considered doing an open mike night? I see an HBO comedy special featuring you in the future!! Thank you for another fun video! Happy New Year!!🎆
Theresa! I just have to thank you for being you! You’ve helped me get through so many days this year, which has been really hard on me with my mental health issues. I have major depressive disorder and my meds aren’t working anymore AT ALL. My brain fog is getting so bad that I literally left my truck running for over two hours when I came home from the store a couple days ago. The only reason it didn’t either blow up or run out of gas is because my neighbor noticed and knocked on my door to let me know! I’m just really scaring myself lately. You give me a little escape from all that and make me laugh, which is SO helpful in lifting my spirits on my worst days! So just…thank you! ❤❤
I've gone through a lot of different meds, and I've dealt with all kinds of abuse and crappy psychiatrists trying them out until the past several months. Mirtazapine gets me to sleep. Works for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. It's not perfect, but I can function. That's what I need the most. If I can't get good sleep, it screws up EVERYTHING internally. I don't want this to get too long. I was on 7.5mg, few months later doubled it to 15mg, and I just started 30mg a week ago to see if it does anything different. So it's a testing phase still, but just having a freaking break from my brain yelling at me and my body and feelings just hurting so damn much, it's everything. Good luck ❤
Hi Theresa! Want to say thanks for helping me enjoy makeup during this truly sh--y time while I look for a job and can’t buy any myself. It’s more uplifting than you might imagine. Plus when I’m tempted get something I shouldn’t, I remember you telling me not to be stupid 😂 I’m especially loving fragrance reviews and the food reviews with your husband. Looking forward to more rage and excitement over makeup in 2025.
Thank you for mentioning the ER controversy… I hadn’t heard anything about it and I was just recently considering making a purchase based on another creator’s rec. glad I didn’t… and now I won’t!
I’ve not familiar with the almost any of these products but I loved your descriptions haha “the emperors new clothes of highlighters” is so good. I actually liked the dae dry shampoo. Well I like how it smells. I agree it’s messy though. But I like not having to worry about running out of aerosol.
Theresa - what is your lipstick and the shade? My mom who is not into makeup saw your lipstick and wants it, too! Also - another fantastic video. I love these end of year wrap ups and declutters b/c you always give good reasons for the things you don't like/get rid of!
Wow! I am seriously shocked. The Caliray specifically in the pink really brightens my under eye. I like the consistency, but probably because I’m 52 and have wrinkles and crinkles. LAURA GELLAR has an under eye primer that is AMAZEBALLS! It creates a shadow effect in my dark under eyes. By shadow I mean it in a good way. That along with the pink Caliray and ELFs pink powder and I look 32 again!
I put Patrick Ta in the same no buy zone as Pat McGrath after he released the blush palette and the formula was different than his singles. This isn’t going in a good direction. I think maybe they sold to a bigger company and now the labs are different so not the same quality. It’s a classic switheroo! No mam, no sir, no more.
i have a high pain tolerance and would use the too faced lip injections every single day for years… ulta beauty clear lip plumping gloss… i actually had to take it off after 20 minutes because i was afraid i would give myself a chemical burn… if you haven’t already, i think you might like this one 💀🤣
omg stacie, I SO FULLY AGREE. I must have more burn. I've gone through all of my Mauve out of the Way in my duck plump. And yeah, its a mere tingle now to me.
❤your makeup & This Eye look is GORGEOUS! I feel your frustration because I feel like a lot of makeup i tried 2024 was wrong for Me, for multiple reasons.
I had bought the ER Cold Moon palette and I also had an eye reaction to their shimmers (which was the first time I've ever had a reaction to eye shadows). Which sucked because it cost so much, but yeah, not going to be buying any more of those.
You and Alex are very good together. At least that’s what it seems like on the inter-web. I wish I could trust someone like that. Maybe I just haven’t met the right person yet. Although I’d have to trust someone else to the point I can at least give them a chance and get to know them. The problem I’ve had is when I do find out it’s too late and they are just a liar and I love them.
Happy New Year to you and Alex. I’ve purchased my last Natasha Denona pallet till she gets rid of all the glitter crap, used the nudes pallet, it’s beautiful but the glitter fallout on my face that won’t come off. I don’t want glitter in my eyeballs, who knows down the road that people will be having eye problems cause of it. Glitter glue won’t even stop it, just stop with the glitter.🤬🤬🤬
My biggest disappointment was the lisa eldridge liquid eyeshadow 😭😭😭 it creased on me no matter what I tried and I was expecting this to basically save the world 😅
For me the ELF glam foundation goes on beautifully and makes my skin really dewy. I have mature dry skin so I have to have my dew. lol but, hey we all have different opinions on what works or is goat poo. Hope you and Alex have a wonderful New Year 🎉
Unrelated - the yt algorithm recently pushed me a video by PossessedbyHorror about horror movie fragrances! I immediately thought that you needed to know
Worst thing I tried this year was the Maybelline build-a-brow. It works so well for Nikki La Rose but I am blonde and their lightest shade was almost black on me. I wore it once in the house just to try the formula before I threw it out, and my partner still has nightmares.
My biggest regret is getting the Victoria Beckham concealer in the wrong shade. It seemed “okay” in store and shade 1 seemed really light but I quickly realized that it oxidizes A LOT. The worst part being that if I had bought it online I could have exchanged it 😅 I also got sucked into that same awful Gucci highlighter but returned it the very next day (I still miss my Nars highlighters).
In defence of the Gucci Sunrise Gold highlighter, it is really good once the top layer has been almost scraped off. I had the same initial experience and thought it was total crap but was determined to persevere (we can't return makeup in the UK) given the £££s. A synthetic brush seems to help too. But longevity could be better, for sure. Seem to work best with a bit of liquid/ creme highlighter underneath.
OMG I am SO GLAD you mentioned the Charlotte Tilbury lip plumping gloss! I was influenced by it on a UA-cam Live from an influencer I really like and I bought it and the pain I felt!! OMG I had to return it asap and this video is the only one who confirmed my experience - everyone else just talks about the Too Faced Lip Injections and I've always stayed away from it so I don't know how the Charlotte Tilbury lip plumping gloss compares to it but I think I am going to stay away from it lol
Happy New Year!! Love your worst videos. I think it was last year but I hated the Natash Denoma concealer. I chucked it out. I ha e dry skin and no matter how I applied it, it gave me horrible creasing
We need a video titled “Beauty products that Tom really likes but virtually nobody else in the YT content creator space does.” Patrick Ta foundation, Plumpgasm, Hourglass pressed powder, Sisley powder (as a powder not a nose primer),…and there have to be a few more 😂😉
I bought a Dior highlighter palette a few years ago and I hated it so much. So glittery and yet barely there at the same time. So much fallout all over my face. Hated it with a burning passion.
The Ilia lip crayons that supposedly were moisturizing were like the Sahara post-application. The colors were great but so very drying. Total advertising lies.
Bummer that Big Bush wasn't fabulous - that name alone deserves it be a Ride or Die on Everyones list, just to hear them say the name every time. Yes, this is the 2 year old me being silly 😜 Seriously, Happy New Year everyone and truly wishing you love, happiness and health in 2025.
It’s Theresa time 🥳✨💜 I really needed your content and humor today! I love your eye look, super beautiful ☺️ I’m so ready for your Worst of Makeup in 2024 and yes you’re mad lol and for good reason! Some of the products I also bought and used were garbage 🗑️ I don’t know why but I’ve always been that person who feels bad returning makeup and skincare. NOT anymore, I work so hard for my money just like everyone else! I would also consider myself to be a haircare connoisseur and absolutely with Dry Shampoo! I’ve tried them all for the most part! The Daie poofy 💨 fart applicator 💨 out dry shampoo was the worst dry shampoo I’ve ever used! It’s not even a dry shampoo it’s a “I’m going to ruin your hair and make you suffer to get it out” I fully agree with you! The K18 dry shampoo took me a few times to figure out the best way to use it but I do really like it. What is going on with GXVE Beauty? I’m afraid they are going out of business and I really love their bronzer, blush, eye toppers and the highlighter. I never tried the collagen lip product because every review I watched and in the comments said it was awful! Thank you for saving me my time, money and frustration! Patrick Ta has me worried for a few reasons. One not paying his loyal black content creators, I don’t know if you or anyone else watched the video. I was shocked by her experience but also how easy the makeup products broke! We spend a lot of money on Patrick Ta products and now knowing his the packaging is cheap I’m not thrilled about that. There were some huge misses for me this year and I’m not just talking about the makeup. Patricks apology video being up and then deleted with a new video that was exactly the same but he was crying in the one they re-uploaded The highlighters are icky, goopy, slimy make you feel old because it emphasizes all your texture and will lift your makeup! I tried his first highlighter in his Holiday palette last year and it was the same damn thing. I love a lot of his products. I did get a sample of his new foundation and I love it but only for a few hours. After that my skin starts to itch and slightly burn. I do have dry, sensitive skin. I think there’s essential oils in the foundation and one of them doesn’t agree with my skin. I don’t know where the brand is going in 2025! I had always used the Drunk Elephant D Bronzi drops for years but I was also living in sunny California and they worked great. Then I moved to Washington and the bronzing drop game started hard for me in 2024 lol 😂 with the Tarte I looked like I rubbed dirt all over my face and a lot of the other glow drops Or they were patchy and hard to blend. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful reviews and experiences with the Glow Recipe bronzing dew drops. Ensley Reign yeah not okay, not okay at all! shitty shitty! You said everything that I feel! Another year of worst makeup and like you said Wasted time and money! Wasted time that we can never get back! Always so great seeing you and watching you! Sending you lots of love and Happy New Year 💜
Hi Theresa, thanks for the video! What makeup did I hate this year? Well, I don't buy much, but I'll go with an LA Colors Mattes eye shadow palette. The 2 lightest colors were usable, and in fact, I did use them up. But the darker colors were impossible because of the fallout. I tossed it.
Just as an FYI thing - the elf foundation is actually good for oily skin people. Not arguing with your experience or being one of those weirdos that gets offended by other peoples opinions of inanimate objects lol just wanted to pass on info in case someone like me, whose skin produces copious amounts of natural oil, was watching. :) lol Hoping your 2025 is wonderful. Happy almost new year :)
I was disappointed by the MUFE Wherever Walnut eyeshadow palette. I used to love MUFE eyeshadow, but the formula is different now and doesn’t wear too well on my eyelids or look like anything special. I also hated the UD Face Bond foundation. It just made me look older. The only thing you mentioned that I tried that I actually like is the Hourglass powder. It works well on me for some reason, but I have heard a lot of other people say they didn’t love it.
even with all of Ensley Reign’s recent controversy, I haven’t heard other people talking about eye irritation from their shadows. I wonder if there are a lot more customers who’ve experienced this and just haven’t spoken up, or if it’s just a very rare reaction. very curious what ingredients/formulation might have caused that 🤔
I got the elf camo concealer and will toss the tube now I have a replacement. Been using the YSL touche eclat illuminating concealer for years and got the elf for more coverage. Big mistake. I looked ten years older with bags on bags under my eyes. My skin is very fair and dry.
Hi Theresa! My worst product of the year was the Enko Hyaluronic PH Lip Balm. Both colors are gorgeous to look at, but holy crap, the chemical taste is so god awful. The single multichrome shadows are fabulous. By all means buy those, but I still have PTSD from those damn lip balms and wanted to call poison ☠️ control for real. 😳
If it makes you feel any better, Hannah used the very first ND Glam Face palette (the first one in this format) and is the one she loves so maybe you’re not alone on your opinion with this hyper face palette 😅
The price of CT plumping gloss really shocked me 😱 so it was nice to hear that it's cr*p. Hopefully, the pillow talk will be phased out (gradually) now that she sold the business.
I'm just here to say. I got home from hospital after having severe withdrawal symptoms that put me in the hospital all day for 12 hours. I was vomiting like Blair in the Exercist, hot and cold chills. I had 4 heated blankets on. Anyways I am able to eat and my overwhelm audio overload is gone, and I was hysterically nasty to my love. Damn PUROLATOR, did the worst and delayed getting my meds. I enjoyed Christmas so much then, BAM! This happens. I was someone else. Anyways, sorry if I bored you and wishing everyone a Happy New Year , and please don't drink and drive. Please be safe. I will watch this tomorrow. I am too plucked up to do anything, but keep up hope. 😢❤🎉
2024 was a rough year for me. I had a 2 week stay in the hospital only to be told it was cancer. Now going through chemo but it's hell. I am waiting for surgery to get a few tumors out once they shrink. Honestly every day just sucks. Here's to a better 2025. I am constantly telling myself it could be worse. Makeup is a good distraction rn.
@anh7807 oh yes makeup is an important aspect of my life. I am wishing you healing to get better. You got this. 😊❤🎉 My eyeshadows are saying c9me play as I lay in b3d. 😂
@@TheresaisDeadthank you. I just got a call from my doctors of the bloodwork done at the Hospital and I am low in magnesium so getting a prescription for it. The Hospital did not catch it. I am so lucky to be here resting in bed while plugging at my, Hello Kitty Lite Bright. It is her 50th anniversary. So funny they did a collab wi5h Care Bears and HK 8s dressed like a Care Bear and a Care Bear as HK😂. 😊❤
I like the Dior palette but I also like the glitz palette. I’m using the glitter shades on the eyes. But I will say the real best formula is their couture highlighters these ones are so smooth.
I got a GXVE bullet lipstick and had to return it because it smelled so bad. I'm guessing it was rancid. I do think there must be a problem with the brand because it has moved at my local Sephora and now occupies much less shelf space.
I’m sad you don’t like the hourglass powder. It was a blind buy for me but I actually like it, I don’t use it under my eyes but I use it as a touch up.
I genuinely tried the ELF Soft Glam foundation with EVERY single primer I have.. NOPE not working. I also hated (LOATHED) the Too Faced Better than Chocolate palette (it was on sale, I was weak, I regret nothing) - I was like "is this makeup revolution circa 2010? because I see no pigment" *ugh* The Gerard Makeup eye primer makes my eyelids feel like burning, it hurts. Legit inflamed skin for days.
Biggest failure/ letdown of the year for me was the stupid Danessa Myricks lowlighter in Lowkey. I've been wanting an orange highlighter for awhile now as I tend to wear peach, coral and orange blushes frequently and thought this was going to be the answer to my prayers. It was out of stock for what felt like forever; and I was over the moon excited when i finally got it... but then I was crushed with disappointment when it barely showed up, took so much effort AND it lifted my products underneath! I was like oh no! You have to go back! 😢
I don’t know if you’ve tried Bare Minerals’ Endless Glow Highlighter in Joy, but that’s a gorgeous orange/coral highlighter. I use it as a blush topper/highlighter. I have a skin tone similar to Theresa so it’s too pigmented if I were to wear it on its own as a highlighter but I have no problem using it on top of blush!
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I'll have to try it out even though it may be too much for just a highlighter for my skin tone too. I did however find a perfect light orange highlighter finally this fall in Glamlite's Halloween 2 release! I love it and wear it all the time! I'm still on the hunt though for different variations of orange/coral though too mesh with the range of blushes in my collection. Thanks again for the recommendation. @@mallorys4524
I tried the NYX Duck Plump and I was impressed so I put it in a purgatory basket for months. I pulled it out just last night and retried it... I don't hate it however I don't care for the color I chose so I'm going to use as mixer with other lippies I love the shades of.

Keep calling them like you see ‘em! 😂 Happy New Year to you and Alex (Paul G.) and thanks for the entertainment!
"allegedly" may have asbestos 😂
My biggest disappointment was the lisa eldridge liquid eyeshadow 😭😭😭 it creased on me no matter what I tried and I was expecting this to basically save the world 😅
For me the ELF glam foundation goes on beautifully and makes my skin really dewy. I have mature dry skin so I have to have my dew. lol but, hey we all have different opinions on what works or is goat poo. Hope you and Alex have a wonderful New Year 🎉
How come I have only found you now? This is just up my alley!
Unrelated - the yt algorithm recently pushed me a video by PossessedbyHorror about horror movie fragrances! I immediately thought that you needed to know
YES I NEED TO SEE THIS! haha 🖤
I like that ND face palette. I love the sheer brutality you gave in your reviews. I was cracking up. Thank you 😂😂😂
Worst thing I tried this year was the Maybelline build-a-brow. It works so well for Nikki La Rose but I am blonde and their lightest shade was almost black on me. I wore it once in the house just to try the formula before I threw it out, and my partner still has nightmares.
I fell asleep this year with brow dye on and scared the crap out of everyone the next day. 😂
@becbrown212 haha I have absolutely been guilty of leaving brow dye on too long! Falling asleep w it is actually hilarious 🤣
My biggest regret is getting the Victoria Beckham concealer in the wrong shade. It seemed “okay” in store and shade 1 seemed really light but I quickly realized that it oxidizes A LOT. The worst part being that if I had bought it online I could have exchanged it 😅
I also got sucked into that same awful Gucci highlighter but returned it the very next day (I still miss my Nars highlighters).
In defence of the Gucci Sunrise Gold highlighter, it is really good once the top layer has been almost scraped off. I had the same initial experience and thought it was total crap but was determined to persevere (we can't return makeup in the UK) given the £££s. A synthetic brush seems to help too. But longevity could be better, for sure. Seem to work best with a bit of liquid/ creme highlighter underneath.
With you on the Elf Soft Glam. Looked great for 10 minutes and then had a breakup rivaling Brad and Angelina😂
Omg I love the Caliray colour corrector concealers! They work really well for me lol. Sorry didn't work out for you 🥲
Day Seven of Holiday Sick in Bed (TM) and here I am laughing until I'm cough/wheezing.
I hadn't heard about the Ensley Reign stuff, now I'm furious that I asked for (and got) one of their palettes for my birthday 😡😡😡
OMG I am SO GLAD you mentioned the Charlotte Tilbury lip plumping gloss! I was influenced by it on a UA-cam Live from an influencer I really like and I bought it and the pain I felt!! OMG I had to return it asap and this video is the only one who confirmed my experience - everyone else just talks about the Too Faced Lip Injections and I've always stayed away from it so I don't know how the Charlotte Tilbury lip plumping gloss compares to it but I think I am going to stay away from it lol
Girl… nyx duck lip gloss almost made me want to go to the ER..
Happy New Year!! Love your worst videos. I think it was last year but I hated the Natash Denoma concealer. I chucked it out. I ha e dry skin and no matter how I applied it, it gave me horrible creasing
Aliens in the ocean!!!! Yes!!!😂
Ok Theresa I see how it is. 😂😂 the Charlotte plumpgasm?!? Love here. The hourglass powder MEEEE
We need a video titled “Beauty products that Tom really likes but virtually nobody else in the YT content creator space does.” Patrick Ta foundation, Plumpgasm, Hourglass pressed powder, Sisley powder (as a powder not a nose primer),…and there have to be a few more 😂😉
I like the Hourglass pressed powder as well 😂
Have a happy, healthy New Year’s Eve!!!! Love you both.😊❤
I bought a Dior highlighter palette a few years ago and I hated it so much. So glittery and yet barely there at the same time. So much fallout all over my face. Hated it with a burning passion.
Happy healthy New Year Theresa & Alex ❤
Not Pigpen😂🤣😂🤣😂
The Ilia lip crayons that supposedly were moisturizing were like the Sahara post-application. The colors were great but so very drying. Total advertising lies.
Bummer that Big Bush wasn't fabulous - that name alone deserves it be a Ride or Die on Everyones list, just to hear them say the name every time. Yes, this is the 2 year old me being silly 😜
Seriously, Happy New Year everyone and truly wishing you love, happiness and health in 2025.
It’s Theresa time 🥳✨💜 I really needed your content and humor today! I love your eye look, super beautiful ☺️
I’m so ready for your Worst of Makeup in 2024 and yes you’re mad lol and for good reason! Some of the products I also bought and used were garbage 🗑️ I don’t know why but I’ve always been that person who feels bad returning makeup and skincare. NOT anymore, I work so hard for my money just like everyone else!
I would also consider myself to be a haircare connoisseur and absolutely with Dry Shampoo! I’ve tried them all for the most part! The Daie poofy 💨 fart applicator 💨 out dry shampoo was the worst dry shampoo I’ve ever used! It’s not even a dry shampoo it’s a “I’m going to ruin your hair and make you suffer to get it out” I fully agree with you! The K18 dry shampoo took me a few times to figure out the best way to use it but I do really like it.
What is going on with GXVE Beauty? I’m afraid they are going out of business and I really love their bronzer, blush, eye toppers and the highlighter. I never tried the collagen lip product because every review I watched and in the comments said it was awful! Thank you for saving me my time, money and frustration!
Patrick Ta has me worried for a few reasons. One not paying his loyal black content creators, I don’t know if you or anyone else watched the video. I was shocked by her experience but also how easy the makeup products broke! We spend a lot of money on Patrick Ta products and now knowing his the packaging is cheap I’m not thrilled about that. There were some huge misses for me this year and I’m not just talking about the makeup. Patricks apology video being up and then deleted with a new video that was exactly the same but he was crying in the one they re-uploaded The highlighters are icky, goopy, slimy make you feel old because it emphasizes all your texture and will lift your makeup! I tried his first highlighter in his Holiday palette last year and it was the same damn thing. I love a lot of his products. I did get a sample of his new foundation and I love it but only for a few hours. After that my skin starts to itch and slightly burn. I do have dry, sensitive skin. I think there’s essential oils in the foundation and one of them doesn’t agree with my skin. I don’t know where the brand is going in 2025!
I had always used the Drunk Elephant D Bronzi drops for years but I was also living in sunny California and they worked great. Then I moved to Washington and the bronzing drop game started hard for me in 2024 lol 😂 with the Tarte I looked like I rubbed dirt all over my face and a lot of the other glow drops Or they were patchy and hard to blend. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful reviews and experiences with the Glow Recipe bronzing dew drops.
Ensley Reign yeah not okay, not okay at all! shitty shitty! You said everything that I feel!
Another year of worst makeup and like you said Wasted time and money! Wasted time that we can never get back!
Always so great seeing you and watching you! Sending you lots of love and Happy New Year 💜
Love this! Happy new year! ❤
Home from a week with my adorable wild family, drinking G&T, watching this roast and giggling madly
Hi Theresa, thanks for the video! What makeup did I hate this year? Well, I don't buy much, but I'll go with an LA Colors Mattes eye shadow palette. The 2 lightest colors were usable, and in fact, I did use them up. But the darker colors were impossible because of the fallout. I tossed it.
Just as an FYI thing - the elf foundation is actually good for oily skin people. Not arguing with your experience or being one of those weirdos that gets offended by other peoples opinions of inanimate objects lol just wanted to pass on info in case someone like me, whose skin produces copious amounts of natural oil, was watching. :) lol
Hoping your 2025 is wonderful. Happy almost new year :)
I was disappointed by the MUFE Wherever Walnut eyeshadow palette. I used to love MUFE eyeshadow, but the formula is different now and doesn’t wear too well on my eyelids or look like anything special. I also hated the UD Face Bond foundation. It just made me look older. The only thing you mentioned that I tried that I actually like is the Hourglass powder. It works well on me for some reason, but I have heard a lot of other people say they didn’t love it.
Always love your vids !
Hope you've had a happy holiday season and happy NYE from Australia 🎉🎊
even with all of Ensley Reign’s recent controversy, I haven’t heard other people talking about eye irritation from their shadows. I wonder if there are a lot more customers who’ve experienced this and just haven’t spoken up, or if it’s just a very rare reaction. very curious what ingredients/formulation might have caused that 🤔
I have had a few people in the comments that experienced the same thing… but I have not heard of any other UA-camr mentioning it
It's good to know. I have super sensitive eyes and for the price of their products, you don't want accidents like that.
Yaay! Hey boo hey! ❤🎉
I got the elf camo concealer and will toss the tube now I have a replacement. Been using the YSL touche eclat illuminating concealer for years and got the elf for more coverage. Big mistake. I looked ten years older with bags on bags under my eyes. My skin is very fair and dry.
Hi Theresa! My worst product of the year was the Enko Hyaluronic PH Lip Balm. Both colors are gorgeous to look at, but holy crap, the chemical taste is so god awful. The single multichrome shadows are fabulous. By all means buy those, but I still have PTSD from those damn lip balms and wanted to call poison ☠️ control for real. 😳
I love the CT lip plumper 😹😹 Happy NYE from NZ!!
If it makes you feel any better, Hannah used the very first ND Glam Face palette (the first one in this format) and is the one she loves so maybe you’re not alone on your opinion with this hyper face palette 😅
Teresa are you talking about Dior backstage palette called " rose gold" as the all pink one you like best
Happy New Year 🎉❤️
The price of CT plumping gloss really shocked me 😱 so it was nice to hear that it's cr*p. Hopefully, the pillow talk will be phased out (gradually) now that she sold the business.
Holy shit gurl I absolutely love my charlotte Tilbury pillow talk lip plumping gloss 😂😂 so much better than any other product out there
I'm just here to say. I got home from hospital after having severe withdrawal symptoms that put me in the hospital all day for 12 hours. I was vomiting like Blair in the Exercist, hot and cold chills. I had 4 heated blankets on. Anyways I am able to eat and my overwhelm audio overload is gone, and I was hysterically nasty to my love. Damn PUROLATOR, did the worst and delayed getting my meds. I enjoyed Christmas so much then, BAM! This happens. I was someone else. Anyways, sorry if I bored you and wishing everyone a Happy New Year , and please don't drink and drive. Please be safe. I will watch this tomorrow. I am too plucked up to do anything, but keep up hope. 😢❤🎉
Feel better!!
2024 was a rough year for me. I had a 2 week stay in the hospital only to be told it was cancer. Now going through chemo but it's hell. I am waiting for surgery to get a few tumors out once they shrink. Honestly every day just sucks. Here's to a better 2025. I am constantly telling myself it could be worse. Makeup is a good distraction rn.
@anh7807 oh yes makeup is an important aspect of my life. I am wishing you healing to get better. You got this. 😊❤🎉 My eyeshadows are saying c9me play as I lay in b3d. 😂
@@TheresaisDeadthank you. I just got a call from my doctors of the bloodwork done at the Hospital and I am low in magnesium so getting a prescription for it. The Hospital did not catch it. I am so lucky to be here resting in bed while plugging at my, Hello Kitty Lite Bright. It is her 50th anniversary. So funny they did a collab wi5h Care Bears and HK 8s dressed like a Care Bear and a Care Bear as HK😂. 😊❤
I like the Dior palette but I also like the glitz palette. I’m using the glitter shades on the eyes. But I will say the real best formula is their couture highlighters these ones are so smooth.
I got a GXVE bullet lipstick and had to return it because it smelled so bad. I'm guessing it was rancid. I do think there must be a problem with the brand because it has moved at my local Sephora and now occupies much less shelf space.
I need that eyeshadow look!
I’m sad you don’t like the hourglass powder. It was a blind buy for me but I actually like it, I don’t use it under my eyes but I use it as a touch up.
I agree, the liquid Blonzer's were patchy messes 😅
I genuinely tried the ELF Soft Glam foundation with EVERY single primer I have.. NOPE not working. I also hated (LOATHED) the Too Faced Better than Chocolate palette (it was on sale, I was weak, I regret nothing) - I was like "is this makeup revolution circa 2010? because I see no pigment" *ugh*
The Gerard Makeup eye primer makes my eyelids feel like burning, it hurts. Legit inflamed skin for days.
Biggest failure/ letdown of the year for me was the stupid Danessa Myricks lowlighter in Lowkey. I've been wanting an orange highlighter for awhile now as I tend to wear peach, coral and orange blushes frequently and thought this was going to be the answer to my prayers. It was out of stock for what felt like forever; and I was over the moon excited when i finally got it... but then I was crushed with disappointment when it barely showed up, took so much effort AND it lifted my products underneath! I was like oh no! You have to go back! 😢
I don’t know if you’ve tried Bare Minerals’ Endless Glow Highlighter in Joy, but that’s a gorgeous orange/coral highlighter. I use it as a blush topper/highlighter. I have a skin tone similar to Theresa so it’s too pigmented if I were to wear it on its own as a highlighter but I have no problem using it on top of blush!
Thank you so much for the suggestion! I'll have to try it out even though it may be too much for just a highlighter for my skin tone too. I did however find a perfect light orange highlighter finally this fall in Glamlite's Halloween 2 release! I love it and wear it all the time! I'm still on the hunt though for different variations of orange/coral though too mesh with the range of blushes in my collection. Thanks again for the recommendation. @@mallorys4524
I’m over 50 with dry skin and I use the Hourglass pressed powder after I use setting spray and it works great. It just melts into my skin.
So glad to be on a low buy in 2024. I avoided a lot of hot garbage!
I tried the NYX Duck Plump and I was impressed so I put it in a purgatory basket for months. I pulled it out just last night and retried it... I don't hate it however I don't care for the color I chose so I'm going to use as mixer with other lippies I love the shades of.
Like your eye look and those colors!
I hated the huda beauty Easy blur foundation. Smells so bad and looks awful on my skin-yuck!
Ok, you talking about how painful those lip products are actually made me want to try them. 😈
