I'm Kait and I look at beauty through a critical lens to help you save money. In a world where influencers and brands tell us, “You NEED this!” and “Run, don’t walk!” I'd rather give you a reason to save your money. That way, when I love something, you know I truly love it.
I'm 34, and I have hEDS, POTS, Dysautonomia, ASD, and a full-time corporate job, so I need products that are easy to use and practically do the work for me.
If that’s not your thing, no hard feelings! But I hope you’ll subscribe for an honest, detailed, minimal approach to beauty.

I am so glad I found your channel! I miss Beau-tube! I cannot do this short form mess for makeup and skincare. I need to see product use, wear testing and initial reactions, not just a bunch of cutesy jump cuts that are really just ads and ads only. Plus, I'm too old for TikTok! And I'm going through debt resolution, so I need to curb my spending. Your vids have been a godsend, and what I needed to hear as a recovery product junkie!
Great video. Thank you
Seems like Your Spiritueuse Double Vanilla sample was from an old bottle. Fresh juice is just amazing smooth a bit smoky creamy vanilla. One of my bottles gone wrong and that is the smell You are experiencing.
Want to voice my appreciation!
This was an interesting discussion & I loved all the comments! I'm surprised no one mentioned the absolutely worst permanent "trend" today for women: tatoos! Ugh!
Ew that’s so judgmental, I have tattoos. Thanks for the compliment though 😂
After a couple of years experimenting with makeup as a teenager, I came to a few decisions about makeup trends I could live without. I decided they were more just fetishes which did not add anything to a girl's attractiveness, were a lot of bother for nothing, and I was attractive enough without fussing with. 1) False lashes. Mascara was good enough. 2) Foundation. It wasn't good for my skin, and felt like a mask. A few touch ups with concealer here and there, and a little powder were was sufficient. 3) Fake nails. This really is a time waster. Who cares what colors or weird shapes you do your nails in? I need to use my hands without being crippled by fancy nails. Keep them clean and relatively short. I also learned something nice about not going all out with makeup every day. On special occasions when I dressed up and used more makeup, people would say, "Wow, you look great tonight!"
I've definitely had a lot of issues with Ulta, including them combining my account with my sister. ???? I've given up on trying to get them unmerged. I would agree that their customer service historically has been irritating in my experience. I would say 7/10 packages come damaged from Ulta. In store, I've found that they are reluctant to let me return items even though they're within the 60 day return policy. I had to contact them recently and I actually received good service through the emails - and they even followed up without me pursuing them. So I am very surprised but hopeful.
Kaitt!!! I NEED to know where you got those earrings from, they’re gorgeous ❤❤
They are the Idyl Lucia add on with one of their base stones - in white gold
Nice vídeo!!!!👏👏👏
Eau Duelle EDT is just a superstar, I am worried ro wear it all the time to get over it. So I take time off it 🤭 And Yes, I wear it in summer. And I think Your description is spot on! 🙌
Thank you for your raw vulnerability and truth-telling! Your directness is refreshing. Glad to find you. Oh, and I relate 100%. I was 40 when I found out. I've been getting Prolotherapy at Caring Medical Florida for a year and a half. I'm 12 treatments in and about 50% better. And yes, Diamene Oxidaze, or DAO, helps inhibit histamine release, as histamine is a major MCAS trigger. You probably know all of this by now, but I hope you know you're not alone.
WOW!!! You look so summery and gorgeous, that color is amazing on you.
Finally some justice for the Milk Jellies 😀❤️ Love mine. I’m also basic and I loooove Guerlain vanilla perfumes. So I will definitely try to hunt down a sample of Bosca Vanilla
Do you thinkbthese are comparable to the selena gomez pressed blushes???
Stunning my dear! So tropical and summery
I love how lemon CBD lip balm has improved my dry lips! Forever grateful for #midnightcbd
I'm so surprised you found the blush hard to blend! I find it super blendable! And I find the lip gloss thicker and honestly one of my faves!
The gloss was suuuuuuper thin and runny
@StateofKait that's so strange!! I wonder if yours has separated or been in high heat? Mine isn't thick by any means, but is definitely a good density with long lasting glossiness!
This is the first time that a testimony has been so accurate. I unfortunately share the same illnesses, difficult to be between 2 worlds. Thousand thks from France
I love your eyeshadow what is it called?
I used Kaja chocolate dahlia
Lovely, but have you tried any Napoleon perdis products? Their stick blush is second to none. I love their colour and complexion products. Not sure about the foundations though. Worth a try. 😊
I so much agree with you on the long pointy nails. Creepy.
Thank you so much for the suggestion on play back speed adjustment. Much appreciated.
I am amazed you can speak so well so fast. But it’s almost in 2 times speed. Can you please slow it down just a tad. Hope I am not offending you.
You can adjust the speed in your settings on the bottom right. I’m not going to change the way I talk for one person.
You’ve sold me on this set!!
Well I wrote in the caption that I hate the formulas lo
I ordered the guava. Super excited
FYI I wrote in the caption that I really don’t like the formulas
@@StateofKait oof I didn’t read that. Dang well I guess we’ll see lol
@@starrypunk20 I’m just very picky so I’m sure you’ll like them
THATS GORGEOUS ON U
This color is so beautiful on you!!!! I would definitely wear that blush!!! I would wear the lipstick too even though it’s a shade I typically wouldn’t wear it’s just incredibly beautiful ❤️❤️
9:08 also mentioning Dr.Ramani very much agree and yes the irritating from the lip products is annoying and the PH level agree! Great profile name too I have subscribed Kait, hope you’re in a good state literally and figuratively
Love the cabin interior if it’s a cabin idk but way diff than the basic neon sign in purple uv backgrounds with fake or real bricks I appreciate this it’s very cozy and beautiful but I’m not obsessed so much I can’t see the beauty in my own home despite what it looks like now& what I think it should be or imagine one day it will be.

They’re not actually all beautiful no matter what we can’t be like well I love your face but your now same face is not ‘as natural’. Also being obsessed with anyone celebrity or not is unhealthy what if tot don’t really mean it ur brain does so the specific words we use in our mind & outside to others or no one matter.

I think we need to get rid of "tarantula" eyes, faces of the dead (no colour, shading, or blush, with nude lips), overblown lip injections, dayglow teeth and tooth gaps (shudder!), caterpillar brows (let's try for something close to plausible). And while I'm on the soapbox, i am thoroughly sick of influencers stressing "must have" products, especially if there's a different new dozen indispensible products every week. We want recommendations to help us choose the best products for us to save money! Stepping off my soapbox, to go and wash my face, and indulge in pampering skincare. Thanks for the video, and an opportunity to share my list of things that need to go.
Around October I also could not place Ulta orders online. My favourites list refused to load and my purchase history was gone. I took it as a sign to hold off on buying stuff haha . It got resolved on its own around March 🤷♀️
the ilia tint also smells so foul...
You are just GORGEOUS! This is a perfect look❤
Thank you 🥹
Wait where’s the review?!
In the description. Click the three dots on the right side of your screen. That’s how you read captions on Shorts.
@@StateofKaitwow I feel like a grandma 🙂 thank you lol
That color combo looks amazing on you. My favorite look on you ever! You look so healthy & vibrant - I wonder if it would do the same for me 😅
Aww thank you 🥹
Swoon worthy. And makes your lovely blues pop!
So pretty!! It just screams summer, doesn't it?
Love this colour❤
I’ve definitely migrated away from eyeshadow palettes to one and done shadows. All of these just look so fabulous and you’re looking absolutely gorgeous!
ALL OF THEM ARE RIGHT 😭✋🏿
Hi! Thank you for sharing. In regard to yoga. There is Yin Yoga where you are not supposed to really stretch and bend. It’s more supported poses for longer periods of time not at the full range of motion. Obviously im not saying go against your doctors recommendations but it could be something to research and see if a different type of yoga would be more beneficial. Ive started doing qui gong or ti chi which is more of an easy movements within your range of motion that is not supposed to be painful and just get the synovial fluid moving and eases tension. But it’s a lot like yoga in a way where i feel that connection with myself but am not hurting my body. ❤
Goddess smelled fruity to me too and I think its the ginger blending with the cacao and vanilla. Its one of my favorites and I do like lavender but weirdly I hated Libre 😂
New subscriber - love your videos! That Purito looks a bit ashy, although I know cameras and lighting can be deceiving. I wanted to try it, but now I’m a bit nervous 😬
Thank you! Yes, I think I mentioned that Purito light beige is very gray unfortunately :/
How do we have the same opinion on so many of these products😂😂I thought I was in minority for hating that nars concealer, glad to see I’m in good company
Hi:) Thanks for sharing your struggles, I am learning and thought to share.. Mark Starr, Hypothyroidism type II, he has videos on KZread and books. The reason I share is that he says all pain is related to hormones. At a guess from my years of learnings, your MCAS is from high levels of dirty estrogen, (Iodine needed), and this relates back to the thyroid. It needs Iodine. The liver needs to detox our bodies and with the environment today we have no doubt backed up bile, so we don’t detox well (hello dirty estrogen). So doing a beer flow flush, see T c Hales videos may help, along with lugols 3 drops 5% iodine with Vit b1, 2, 3, zinc and Vit c. Ref Stop the thyroid madness. If this helps your pain let me know 💕🙏 you can find best quality vit b1 most bio available TTFD -thru Elliot Overton on KZread here, and his ThiAssist product for selenium. I’m hyper mobile too. Hypothyroid. Pituitary can be issue if had brain injury (even PTSD) but getting T C Hales info to. Fix digestive stuff would be 1st step and order a HTMA from Rick Fischer to see if you have any heavy metals and what your mineral levels are like - I would guess low potassium Much love.
Beet Flow Flush* Not beer !
