I'm a plus sized, makeup obsessed dog and cat mom. Thirty something, endometriosis warrior. I'm drenched in sarcasm and have a mildly 70s aesthetic. Big fan of horror movies and Murder She Wrote. On a Body Positivity journey so expect the occasional plus sized fashion video but it'll mostly be me talking about makeup I definitely shouldn't have brought!
I can’t believe you don’t have friends now you’re so sweet! My mental/physical health is also directly related to my shopping addiction for makeup I’ve been doing good lately though and haven’t shopped in 3 months for makeup and cancelled my subscription boxes then too. I’ve saved a lot of money that way.

@@angeladesilva7913 wow Angela well done! 3 months is a huge achievement. I’ve put myself back on one, I’m aiming for one month to begin with just to try and reset myself and give me chance to get to use some of the new stuff I have. I always struggled making friends growing up because I was bullied and never really fit in. Growing up I found it much easier but pain makes you isolated and the friends I did have drifted off as I got more sick. I was always happy just to have a partner and my family, I never felt I was missing out until I was single and then I really noticed the lack of friends! Making friends as somebody chronically ill is bloody hard lol ❤️
@@laurathemakeuphunter1915 I’m sure there are support groups, churches you could join, even 12-step programs for addiction I go to NA and church it’s hard cause my kids and grandkids are not in my immediate area except one son who isn’t married who is my live in caregiver the other 3 and 7 grandkids are a short plane flight away in Oregon and California by Nevada. I’m on California’s central coast near Monterey. I gave away a lot of makeup and brand new skincare to the gals who helped me pack but I still have waaay to much!
I’d love to see a video rotating your products since your not doing a proper shop my stash. I don’t do panning to completion either as my collection is too large as well, so I am doing rotation and usage goals too! I just moved and it took me weeks to bubble wrap and pack my makeup collection and I had two ladies helping me! So now I’m unwrapping unpacking and reorganizing my collection and it’s a big job because of my chronic back and neck pain on dilaudid. And I als have depression and anxiety on meds for that as well. I’ve been in my new place for a month and still am not even halfway done with boxes everywhere- it’s so overwhelming and I have no help either.❤😊
My Nan always used to say “the work will still be there tomorrow” so take your time. Moving is one of the hardest things to do so just take your time and get settled in at your own pace. I’ve got a video coming where I’m going to show all the makeup I am working on and in that video I’ll roll out some things and rotate in new products! Hopefully that’ll help. I’m going to try a new way of doing it using the roulette wheel app! ❤
@@laurathemakeuphunter1915ooh that sounds exciting I wish we could be friends in person I know I’d love you. Is your nan your grandma? Mine raised me from an infant and there isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of her. She’s been gone for 10 yrs now when she was 97 and passed away.
@@angeladesilva7913that’s such a lovely thing to say! Thank you ❤ Nan is kind of an English version of Grandma, fancy people here say Grandma 😂 I also called her Nanny. She’s been gone so many years but it feels like only yesterday. I still struggle with the grief. I used to sleep at her house 4 nights a week every week when I was growing up and as a baby my mom and I lived with her. We were the three musketeers ❤
I love how you became more and more at ease talking about you being you.. and the makeup buying reasons .resonates so much as I do the same. .. you are beautiful and its lovely watching your videos..lots of love and keep emjoying your collection...❤
@@laurathemakeuphunter1915 not at all.. you sounded so much more powerful and courageous and said exactly what I was thinking to myself today as I purchased yet again unnecessary makeup for the exact reasons ... Keep going and growing. You are beautiful and strong. Stay blessed.
I'm really enjoying your videos, Laura. The shopping addiction is real with me, too, but I tell myself it's for channel content, lol. I've slowed down some, but I still buy more than I need 😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
11:10 I do like the BPERFECT foundation. The NARS foundations don't work for me, I wish they did. I wasn't aware Haus Labs did theirs backwards too. I really like mine as well.
@@Baysnoopmin that’s such a shame the Nars ones don’t work for you! B Perfect is such a good one that’s a bit more affordable. It’s just a lot of coverage. I was shocked by how much. I’m so shocked by the Haus Labs, it’s so so pretty!
Not me watching this at 10.40 at night, with my bedroom window open and thinking some idiots were driving down my street on loud bikes. Until you mentioned it I was literally about to look out my window 😂😂 Regarding blast off, i was more Euro bar, Atlantis, and Flares back in the day. I'm in my early forties now and cant even cope going to Yates these days 😂
I would absolutely hate Yates now and all the other clubs lol. I’m more of an afternoon tea and a nap these days 🤣 I did go to Atlantis a few times but it wasn’t my vibe! I was never a huge fan of clubbing tbf ❤️
I'm in Wolverhampton, if you ever wanna talk via messaging on fb or ig etc then maybe meet for a coffee after a few months let me know. I'm also having issues with my reproductive organs and live with chronic pain too.
I did talk about it in my previous video, unfortunately I had to resign due to my health and the time off I was having. I had to go through occupational health, etc. I was heartbroken but it wasn’t right for me or the team to keep hanging on ❤
Laura, your video popped up on recommended and I’m so glad I clicked on. You have such a calming, soothing aura, I could listen to you for hours! Thankyou for being so open & honest, it’s so refreshing❤️
I know it's hard, try to keep positive and try to give yourself some grace and love. It's hard, so its easy for me to write this but talking about how you feel is a good way to release some of these negative thoughts ❤
Thank you so much. Sitting and talking in this felt very cathartic and is something I need to do more. I definitely do try and keep smiling as much as possible ❤️❤️
Lovely to see you again but I'm sorry to hear of your troubles and I do hope you are able to get the medical attention and care you need, and soon! I really enjoyed this video and hearing more about you - lots of the things you spoke about resonate with me. It's a terrifying time to be alive in my opinion. Your channel is a little cocoon of safety, calm and gentleness for me. Looking forward to your upcoming content, I too am WAY overstocked in just about everything including makeup and also on a no buy and trying to use up what I have, which will probably happen about the same time the NHS clears its wait list. Count me in as a member of your community - I need one too :) Oh p.s. love the look, the one time I tried to use red eyeshadow my boss sent me home because he thought I was desperately ill. I didn't correct him of course!
Ah thank you so so much! You are definitely part of my community, very welcome! Haha that’s probable when I’ll run out of makeup as well! I was scared of the red eyeshadow but actually looking forward to doing another look with the Main Squeeze palette. Thanks so much for watching and commenting ❤❤
I’ve had that Colourpop main squeeze palette for years that I’ve never used as well. I’m on a no buy and I discontinuous my subscription boxes for Ipsy and Boxycharm, Glossybox and Allure which I had for 7 years should have cancelled those subscription years ago actually.
I’ve never had a subscription box and I’m so glad I’d dread to think what my bedroom would be like trying to find space for it all! I had main squeeze on the chopping block but I ended up loving it!
How about doing freelance makeup artistry as a job? Packing recently to move has shown me just how much I’ve overspent on makeup and skincare! I have way more than I can ever use and was thinking of selling it but don’t have time nor do I really want to. I have an enormous amount of boxes packed with makeup I bubble wrapped to put in storage. I love that you’re project panning I have to much to ever hit pan on anything. The Physicians Formula butter bronzer is the only item I have hit pan on - two of them in two different shades.
I did do it for a little while but the pain it caused me made it impossible, it’s all bending and standing for long periods. I’m also extremely self critical and a perfectionist so I would overly criticise everything I did!
I’m in crisis actually going to be homeless at the end of this month😢. You’re lucky to have the loving parents I wish I had. I have 4 kids but only one lives nearby and he’s already homeless. I don’t know what we’re going to do plus I have a support animal my 11 year old 🐱 cat who helps me a lot. He’s not going to appreciate being homeless living in a van if I can find one I can afford that is. ❤
Oh I am so sorry to hear that Angela! I know I am incredibly lucky and in a very privileged position which is why I can pursue the things that bring me joy and fight for the care I need. I can’t imagine what you must be going through. Keeping you in my thoughts and I hope things will resolve themselves for you sooner rather than later ❤️
Why didn’t the emergency room give you a shot of dilaudid for pain?! I have chronic spine pain from neck to lower lumbar region and that’s what they give me. Then I take oxycodone at home daily. Isn’t there any other hospitals to go to Omg that sounds like poor care to me. My self esteem is poor too and I have clinical depression but the Effexor antidepressant works really great for me. Sounds like you need an antidepressant as well.
I am already on medication for my depression and anxiety and most of the time I’m on a pretty even keel but as you probably know it ebbs and flows. I’m just on a bit of a low ebb at the moment but I’ll be ok. The hormones I’m on really don’t help my body image but they do help some of my endo symptoms so I’ll take it!
Yaaaay!!! I was so happy to see you post. I could listen to you talk all day! Makeup is my therapy too it helps my anxiety like nothing else!❤😊 and almost a whole hour too!? What a treat!
The actual statistic I referenced in this video is 685 years to clear all NHS waiting lists if current rate continues. I said it was gynea wait lists but it’s NHS wait lists in general!
I just saw your IG message you’re taking a breaking hope everything is ok with you and your health is better. I’ve missed your videos and will continue to miss them until you come back. If you want to talk more would be happy to listen.❤😊
