I feel luxury high priced palettes focus on their high pigmentation and blendability and we accept that they might be worth the money as the quality is higher...however if I buy a £20 palette it SHOULD blend and have enough pigment. These high end brands only justify their price because so many lower priced brands fail to deliver the absolute basic requirements. We accept £100 for a palette (well I DON'T buy them myself but I follow the content that showcases them) because we pay less for products which downright fail. If the lower end didnt disappoint a lot (or get falsely hyped up as Morphe used to be) very few people would feel the price disparity was worth it. A £20 palette SHOULD perform but sometimes its just chalk that doesn't blend or come out like influencers show it to do in a video. The idea the £100 palette will do the job comes from so many fails or disappointments coming from more affordable products. Nowadays in the drugstore makeup section I ASSUME the palettes wont work and then an surprised when I find the ones that somewhat deliver. That's some jaded, low expectation consumerism Haha

I’ve definitely bought luxury makeup before and I loved every one I bought. I don’t buy makeup that much, but when I find a pallet or mascara or whatever that I’ve researched and think that’d be a great investment… I’ll get it. Not spending money because of the name, but because of what people really think about the products after repeated use. One thing I’m divided on though is buying luxury foundations. I’ve bought one in the past and it was incredible… but I bought it in April. I didn’t use all of it before summer so it basically went down the drain. My skin tone changed enough to where the foundation was way too light for my skin. Unless you wear makeup almost every day and will use up the product, I don’t recommend spending your money on luxury foundations.

I ALMOST bought the entire Coca-Cola collection. I'm glad I didn't. Although, if I find a full unused set cheap enough I may buy it just as a collection to have.

Anastasia feels very 2014-2017 makeup era, and like they never moved passed that. Then the dreaded Norvina era happened... 4. Supergoop is frustrating cause they sometimes have okay stuff, but their products are way overpriced. So many better sunscreens from Japanese and Korean brands. 5. Tan-Luxe also is so hit and miss.

Japanese and Korean sunscreens usually have a lot less UVA protection than we are used to in the West. I'm 44 and as fair as you can get, and I do not want my skin ageing and getting wrinkles. I love the unseen sunscreen, they do a big sized tube which brings the price per ml down quite a bit. The lotion is okay, I wouldn't buy that again. Apart from that I stick with French brands like La Roche Posay as they have good ingredients that don't kill reefs and high UVA coverage, 25 as opposed to 12 in some Japanese and SoKo products. It depends on what you want from your sunscreen but obviously I need very high protection because of my skin so I don't risk those products. I am however interested to try Australian sunscreens as they have to have it. I don't even really think about beauty blender since I found out I can get the paw paw sponges in the UK!

I can't be convinced that the Winky Lux/Applebee's Collab is anything other than a make up shit post and it's hilarious 🤣

Honestly, one of the reasons I haven't had more makeup regrets is because of reviews like yours, and a handful of other creators. But your perspective is really unique because you've worked with a range of skin types and facial features and can speak to the way products perform for a range of people. That's tremendously valuable!

Urban Decay eyeshadows are that ABH moment for me, I finally bought a NAKED pallet and it was chalky and the fallout was nuts

I really enjoy these type of videos. I hope you continue to do more of these. I enjoy makeup but I also want to support brands that give back (Rare Beauty) or support a cause. Thank you for making me aware of ABH, I’m going to looking into it now.

winky lux, as a brand, has always been confusing to me. the company's packaging has always given me immature/cheap vibes (bordering on something you'd see at Claire's) but the prices are higher than some pretty high-end brands.

I remember the HUGE hype some eyeshadow palettes received years ago, and I never could buy into it. Especially with so many affordable brands creating wonderful eyeshadow formulas! If someone has plenty of money, then buy them and enjoy. I just believe that one can achieve similar looks for SO much less!! Thank you, Robert!!🖤🖤🖤

I was sooooo sad when the subculture palette came out and I couldn’t get it. The colors were so pretty and everyone seemed to hate it. I found it at TJMaxx two years ago for twenty bucks, got it, and I love it now that I kind of know how to use it. It was cursed by its formula.

I got my Subculture palette a few years ago even after hearing all the complaints. I also love it. It’s definitely the reformulated version and I enjoy working with the highly pigmented shadows. Kick up isn’t a major issue when I lightly tap the shadows.

The Subculture palette was a huge problem at first. They had to reformulate it and reissue it. For all those questionable makeup products I only purchase them at TJ Maxx. Then they are much cheaper. I assume when I got the Subculture at TJ Maxx I got the reformulated one. It’s a fairly good palette.

Working at Sephora,I did actually like the Subculture. I know, call me crazy. I even wore it as a mother of the bride. My dress was green. Subculture actually worked. I also remember that Supergoop hand sunscreen. I used it as a basic hand cream. Here in upstate NY, was perfect for the dry winter months. I do go to FL and always bring down those mini Supergoop products. Perfect for the purse (after my application of high sunscreen)

Love the simple smokey eye look today😍 I also love all the purple ones you do. I was wondering if you could do a bold red, white and gold look???? Please!! 🥰

There's just something about your giggle that is so delightful... honestly, I watch all of your videos just to hear it; makes my day brighter!

Your lighting is on point in this video! Thanks for all the videos!

The og beauty blender foundation was one I used up a lot because they made a green/olive undertone that was hard to find, but the packaging was horrible, and honestly it got eaten up by the sponge and I actually felt like it applied better with a brush. They stopped making the og that matched me and after that its all been overpriced and unexciting.

I was literally just thinking this about Anastasia Beverly Hills last night. I was like, “Why am I spending money on this again?” 😂

I have been having a stressful and crappy day, and I want you to know that as soon as I pulled up your video, your voice just calmed me down more than you can imagine. Thank you!!!!!

I absolutely love the Beauty Blender Foundation. I get why people were upset with them, especially when they released them when the whole “40 exclusive shades at launch” where huge. But the way BB explained it is there are all these other brands who target “light skin” who are none minority people or target “dark skin” who are owned by African American, BB is owned by a Hispanic lady who was giving her fellow brown skinned people their perfect shades. Was it a bad call, absolutely but as a minority person (Native American) I understood what she was saying.

This story about Winky Lux made me laugh so hard and it was so incredibly important to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 🖤🖤

Stuck in my house due to flooded roads. Ugh. So happy I get to catch your video as soon as it publishes. You crack me up! Food and makeup...weird combo. I'm about to be testing some Winky Lux products...and now bbq lip gloss is all I'll be thinking about. 😂😂

Also THANK YOU for not being the only person confused about the Tan-Luxe hype. I've tried multiple products from them and they are all the same shade of wotsit and as streaky as the bogs in the men's cubicle. For the price, its just so bad!

The Applebee's glosses story makes me think of when I tried a couple weird-flavored ice creams: mac & cheese and everything bagel. The mac and cheese one was tasty because it combined sweet and savory so well and tasted like actual ice cream. The everything bagel one was 100% accurate in flavor and therefore disgusting--the dissonance of tasting ice cream like that was awful. Lol.

This actually just happened to me I think I am out on wet and wild because I tried their new serum primer and the first time I actually returned it because it wasn’t wrapped so I thought someone opened it and then when I bought it again, I realize that that’s just how it comes and it’s just tightly closed and it’s not so like wrapped in plastic or something safe which I guess is cool but at the same time I just don’t like it so I think I’m out like there’s not even a sticker to tell if it’s been torn and it is affordable, but I just can’t get over the fact that I don’t know if someone put that on their face or not.

Supergoop was one of the few sunscreens I loved at first and eventually ended up hating because at some point along the way, they reformulated and it started breaking me out SO BADLY. It took me months to figure out it was the sunscreen because I’d been using it for over a year at that point with no problems whatsoever. I quit using it and opted for a Misha sunscreen and the breakouts disappeared in just a few days. Tried it again, broke out immediately. Super frustrating.

That explains why I always see that ABH palette at my Marshall's. Love your videos!!!!
