Yes I fell for the Chanel corail blush. And yes, my face couldn’t tell the difference between my other coral blushes.

I think the desire to buy the latest and best has to do with our own insecurities and the promise of ‘perfection’. I’m someone who tends to stick with products that work, until they don’t. I also don’t collect for the sake of collecting an entire brands offerings. I also research and wait at least a month after a release for purchasing. I want to see how it works for others after the initial hype and ‘viral’ wave. Often that’s enough to take it off my list.

YES Charlotte save us money! LOVE this series! Almost bought the Chanel blushes until I saw the price here in the US. $72😮😮 No thank you Chanel…

Sea turtles might be delightful, but you are a joy. This video provides a public service! So great. Thank you.

Once upon a time I purchased an eyeshadow trio and two singles from chantecaille and they were literally the worst eyeshadows I have ever owned. I’m traumatized by it and will never trust their eyeshadows again.

I like their face powder and bronzer. And the lip chics but they’re so pricey

I love this series. You see so many content creators nowadays pushing products like the masses have the money to spend on them without getting in debt. My solution was that my birthday is coming up so I out sourced this to my fiancé lol 😂

I was dying to get my hands on the Chanel primer but it sold out and I don’t think it’s coming back so now I don’t care! Thank you Charlotte!😍😍

Doing a year long no buy since Black Friday. Finding myself building better relationships with the makeup I already have since I’m not always focused on what’s coming. Experimenting more, exploring techniques and trying corners of palettes I’ve always ignored. Your advice to wait a few weeks is key. I’m letting myself keep a wishlist but I notice that when I add to it the older items on the list have lost their allure. Makeup expires, separates, and becomes very expensive garbage. I’m enjoying trying to use things up!

@AllyKit

🙌 Good for you! I add to my wishlist then wait for the Sephora sale. It gives me a months-long cool down period. Right before the sale, I revisit my list and edit, edit, edit. If I see a beauty guru still using a product months later, then I know it's good and not just hype. (For instance Charlotte & her TF primer. I KNOW she really loves that!) That tells me more than words could say. Also if I want to feel inspired by my older makeup, I revisit a YT of it. (Say, an Hourglass palette) That brings me joy and I remember why fell in love with it . Happy shopping your stash! 💖

I am trying to do this for eye shadow. I literally have more eye shadow palettes than I can use for the rest of my life and not hit pan. I go between being disgusted with the amount of money I have spent to thinking I have to have whatever is new. What makes it worse is that I work from home and I know my dogs don't care if I'm wearing Chanel or ELF LOL!

You can also have a couple of no makeup days, and just allow those days to let your skin care sit on your face and do its work.. I did that for 2 or 3 day intervals a couple times last year? And the difference was very noticeable!

No one can do a series like this better than you. You were born to do these type of videos! Love them!

I knew I was a fan when there was a turtle tangent. I AGREE TURTLES ARE SO GOOD. And YES I am exactly the sort of person who would get excited by a golden sea turtle.

I love this video format and I am super grateful that you keep reminding me that it's just makeup and that it is (mostly) very expensive. Theoretically, I shouldn't even watch all your other videos because they naturally make me want to buy everything you review. I'm sure it's not just me who finds it hard to resist and realize that I'm just a normal woman who only has one face. I will do my very best to constantly remind myself to first look in my draw before I will buy something new this year. My goal is to empty the stuff I have (or at least hit pan) and then reward myself with something new. (Fingers crossed 🤞🏼!) Love Sabine 😘

As my almost 102-year-old mother says that HER mother used to say: “You can always spend your money.” Love you Charlotte!!

Charlotte talking about sea turtles is definitely my favorite part of this video

I love a good snorkel with a sea turtle - quote of the year! 😂😂😂🐢🐢🐢

I'm on a low, low buy and I have taken my consumer debt from $6,800 to $1,500 - by the first pay week of March I will be debt free! ❤🎉 Thank you for keeping consumption down and ALWAYS making these "you do not need that!" videos 🥺❤️

I DO NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO! Big fan of this series. I think it's the first video I saw on your channel. Stay strong everyone!

I needed that! lol , you words have given me the courage to not buy! I love you dear child. Well done.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏼😳🤣

I bought the Chanel blushes- all 3. The Mauve Glace (berry) was a value added to my collection as it's the perfect neutral subtle berry for my fair complexion. But I could have passed on the other two. They are quite subtle in pigmentation but I like the sheen. But yeah, think they should be a pass for most.

I love your presentational style. Very original and lovely to listen to! Thanks for talking me out of my makeup-obsessive behavior.

I got the ND little palette set, and i love it! It's purse sized and travel friendly, as well as perfect to wear to my daughter's wedding.

I could no more afford the makeup you review than fly to the moon 🌝 However I enjoy your review style especially “you don’t need this”, as I can apply your words to my low end makeup temptations. God bless you in this new year. 🎉❤

This is my favorite series of yours. Thank you for these!

The whole bit about the sea turtles 😂

Hi Charolette! Your skin & blush are beautiful today! I enjoy these. "You Do Not Need That" videos! I am in agreement with you. Makeup adds up before we know it!

Thank God. I wanted to get some stuff and my husband kept asking, when is that video about not needing any of that coming out. I am not sure if I should tell him that your video is here or not lol.

That green sweater looks fantastic on you! Such a beautiful color.

I love these videos! I took the part about concealers very personally… and I think I needed it! As for the Louboutin foundation, even the shade you put up on the screen looked odd to me - like I can’t think of anyone that has this skintone… waiting with popcorn for the reviews!

Gucci duped Essence with those glosses 😂

As someone who normally doesn’t give a flying flip about packaging beyond whether or not it is durable enough not to break to easily i hate to say it but the Louboutin foundation bottle and cap pulled me in at least enough to consider finding out more about it 😆

I like your bear in the background, but I wish it was a bit brighter. I love this series!!! Thank you.

Oh, Charlotte I really do think I need the Chantecaille Turtle eyeshadow palette, the green one, of course! The Packaging is so so pretty and different from anything I have .. is that a good enough excuse? Thinking🧐.. I SAY YES. 😄

Im constantly saying "I don't need that" and it's true so true. When you say it, I believe it, when I say it I feel like I'm trying to trick myself lol🎉 I'm the one that needs this😂 Thanks❣️

I bought the light pink Chanel Blush ( Rose Polaire) and it doesn’t really show up on my light medium winter skin! It’s pretty, but I did not need it!! You are so right on the time out to see if we really need something. Also Pat’s new year & valentines launch containing re-promotes is good for the budget, bad for the makeup soul 🥺

Highlight of 2024 so far: you saying ‘…moisturiser’. Gold!

Oh, Charlotte...you're the best! I nearly spit out my coffee and literally laughed out loud listening to you talk about the turtles. 'I love a turtle as much as the next guy...' 🤣😂

Charlotte, I'd be lost without you! Thanks for talking me out of the ND set. Sending lots of love.

My favorite video on KZread in a loooong time! Love the authenticity & how real you communicate why we don’t need these releases. Watching your video is like listening to your bff talk you off a ledge 😂 ❤

I love you and this series! I did fall for the Chanel snowflake but I'm not sorry. It's very pretty packaging, LoL. That's what my purchases are this year, cuz I don't need anything. But still love to look and buy. I thought I'd do a no buy year, but reality says nope let's try for a low buy year. Thanks for all your work.

I had a better experience with the mini blush by Natasha. Its a top of drawer favorite for me right now. It just shows how everone can have different experiences with the same products.

Charlotte, I fell for the Les Beiges collection but I DIDN’T buy the primer! Also I saw your IG post about being frustrated and I bet it’s about the “new” PMG collection, right? Don’t worry! I promise I have no desire to buy it! I’m running the other way! 😂 I too almost fell for the TF collection but then I slapped my hand and stood firm. I LOVE THESE VIDEOS! You are hilarious and also so good for us, keeping us under control! Love to you and the fam, have a great weekend! ❤❤❤

I needed that lipstick scolding. I’m definitely guilty of that. I buy 2-4 lipsticks every month. It’s ridiculous. I don’t even have time to use them all, but I still want too.🙄🔫

Ugh same! Lipstick is my favourite makeup and weakness. I bought quite a few on black friday so I have put myself on a no buy for 💄 until next black friday ❤

Sea turtles, love it!

I don’t know how long I’ve been a subscriber, but I do know that my reason was for high-end reviews. I love watching content that shows me what these products are really like. While I CAN afford these brands, I’m a “WON’T afford” person. This video was so refreshing-I enjoyed every second of it!!

Love this! It just reaffirms my commitment to restrained makeup purchases these days. I went kind of mad during the pandemic thanks to Poshmark (but I'm exceedingly picky and tried to buy unused or barely used items). I did purchase a Lisa Eldridge Sorcery palette from Mercari today, but it's new and unused...and was only $50 instead of Lisa's $62. BUT! Her Vega palette is back in stock and I'm seriously thinking of getting it once I've tried Sorcery and tested out the formula and longevity of the product. Not that I doubt Charlotte's word about Lisa's stuff, but still. Anyway. I don't know how Charlotte only has like 67K subscribers - I think she's one of the best makeup reviewers on KZread, but then, her sense of humor about it all is what keeps me coming back so maybe there's too many humorless makeup people in the world. I don't know. I just know she's "up my street". Love you Charlotte!

I adore this video. I am trying to stop purchasing make up. I need to finish using what I have. It IS hard! You are so refreshing!

I bought that Chanel primer, I agree nothing special but I actually had a reaction from it and therefore returned it. Otherwise I would of wore it exactly how you said, for a bit of glow on non makeup days! The blushes tho I couldn’t resist….i got two, the ones that have the beautiful radiant look burn my face (must be a ingredient I’m allergic/sensitive too) but these I can wear. I am super fair and struggle when winter comes getting nice blushes that don’t make me look like a clown and these are perfect! Everything else tho that I was looking at that was on your list, I will not be buying, your rationale is great!!! Altho I really wanna try that Tom ford blush 🤦🏼‍♀️. If it goes on sale I might grab it later this spring.

Merci charlotte, comment j’adore tes vidéos car j’étais à deux doigts de craquer sur les RAL Mario 😂😂😂 ❤

I've always appreciated this series. That's even more so this year because I am one of those who have committed to a low-buy or no-buy year. You are our support structure for sticking to it. I spent about a third as much on makeup this month as I did last January but I could feel myself slipping. Your video came at just the right time My resolve is renewed!

Prices of cosmetics has gone up so much it’s crazy ..I have lot Dior,Chanel..brought yrs ago still good and was cheaper and CT prices fair ..these other co,s Tom ford,and others no thanks I rather keep my money

You are a hoot talking about sea turtles 😂❤️edit to say I wish I knew of this channel $3000 ago and could someone be more charming !? 😍

Love you!!! You're honest, refreshing and terribly funny 😂 I don't understand why you're not getting a lot more views and subscribes!

Oh and the only makeup I bought in 2023 was the ND Need a Nude palette. It’s my first ND palette that’s not a mini (I have 1 mini). 👍

Hi Charlotte, I very much appreciate your honesty and advice for us on these products, i love when you say give yourself a few weeks of thoughts on a particular product and if your still obsessed after this period of time ,then consider buying it or words to that effect. Love Katherine xoxo

I can’t get enough of this series. I’ve learned so much about the sneaky tricks and secrets of the beauty industry from these videos.

Thanks for the sage advice and the humour. I adore this series.

I love this series so much! It's such a breath of fresh air amidst so much encouragement to buy entirely too much, plus it always makes me laugh 😂

The Mario lipsticks I must say are fabulous. I found a cherry shade that is just unusual and I'm a lipstick queen. My fav thing to buy. I am interested in Geurlain ok and skip the rest. 😅

I have had to stop buying makeup because of lack of space. Thank you for your info.

Thank you Charlotte for talking me out of buying the Chanel Les Beiges LE primers. So wise !!

I really hope you’re going to read my comment, I just wanted to tell you that I hardly ever wear make up just a little bit of lipstick and foundation sometimes, but I literally adore your videos, I just I’m just here for your personality !

Charlotte!😂😂😂😂 I love this! As always! I love when you talk me down off the roof! The beautiful voice of reason ❤️

I love how your always so very honest about products.

You’re so right about the Mario lipsticks. Unfortunately I didn’t watch your video first! Bought the neutral pink and surprise, surprise, it’s just like all the other neutral pinks I already have!

0:09 when she said that im already convinced

I loooove when you do these videos. So fun. - and i save my money while feeling good about it (not feeling like i am missing out). Thank you 😊

What I really need help with is resisting the bone deep need to get the Guerlain Tobacco & Honey. Your description was exactly the kind of scent I’m looking for. At this point, I’ve been wearing VS Heavenly for well over 20 years, and I need something new. I can’t seem to find anything close, though. Ugh! Help? Please? Pretty please?

Same! I got a sample of the Guerlain T & H, and it is such a beautiful scent on me-but since it only comes in one size right now ($340), there’s just no way. Hopefully they’ll come out with a travel sized bottle for us!

I'm actually not tempted by much right now but I'm here for the attitude:)

This arrived just in time 😅😂 thank you 🙏

I love Chanel primers, they are very good on my dry acne-prone skin 🤷🏻‍♀️. Very moisturizing.

I LOVE THIS SERIES SO MUCH!!!!

Really appreciate you doing this series ❤

I love these videos!!! Beyond helpful. Always get excited to see when one posts. Thank you for doing these!!

Love this series, Charlotte. Never ever stop these videos, very helpful.

I’ve never laughed so much! You are so so funny!!!

I got the Gucci plumping lipgloss as a present for my birthday 2 weeks ago and I really enjoy it!

Charlotte, I LOVE this series!!!!

Love you Charlotte and these series 💕💕💕💕

Not to mention the new hourglass lip liners and new shades of the phantom gloss - nightmare!!!!

Yaay! Thank you, Charlotte.

this is my favorite series :)

This series is very much appreciated by all 😍😍😍😍

Great series Charlotte!

Looooooooove this series!

You are sooo right on all of it

Thank you!!!

What you said about the Gucci plumping glosses is what I feel about Rare Beauty lip oils. They are absolutely lovely, but you only need one. No matter how different the color looks when you first are smoothing it on, but the time you've let it dry 10 seconds it will be the same (albeit lovely) color on your lips. I'm so glad I have one, but regret buying 2.

I love these videos!❤

Thank you! I found you over the hourglass palettes. Love your videos 🎉

I do LOVE the Mario lipsticks! 😅

Thank you for talking me off the ledge of that LB foundation. That bottle is dreamy.

Thanks Charlotte! Your hair looks fab!

YOU MAKE MY DAY!
