Fleur DeForce I love retro matte high heels and velvet teddy. I also really love their studio fix foundation like I only need a little bit to make my skin glow and look clear
I really like this kind of video Fleur. I prefer the focus on your favourites only as I find it to be more useful. For example, if you were to say a foundation is great for dry skin then it tells me that it might be a good one for me to try. On the other hand, if you say a foundation isn't good for dry skin then I know it probably won't be worth spending money on but I still won't be any the wiser about what foundation to actually try. Basically, I think favourites focused videos are a lot more informative when you are looking for recommendations. I don't know if any of that makes sense but I thought it'd let you know anyway!
Honestly, Fleur could focus on about anything and I'd investigate ALL her faves and recommendations. I am already purchasing products out of my comfort zone, aka more expensive products, but higher quality. Thanks guys! Love the videos Fleur. Hope to get to one of your meet-ups some day! I'm a Chicagoan ... and you've hit some great spots in town. In fact, you've made recommendations to me (whereas I have lived here for a l o n g time)! Good job!
MandyYDG same! I feel like RU-vid opened my eyes to so many new brands, but recently I've been gravitating back to some of my favourite mac products. It's like going home! 🤣 who else is talking about mac lately? x
Laura Costigan I don't know of if you've heard of RachhLoves (I adore her) but just yesterday she posted a $100 at MAC video. Tati and DramaticMAC have also mentioned them within the past few weeks, I believe as well. I've just been seeing them around a lot more. Bad for my wallet but so good for my collection.
MandyYDG Thanks! I've not heard of RachhLoves or DramaticMAC so I'll check them out. Perfect timing, in at home ill and already caught up on my subscriptions. 💸💸💸
Nothing from MAC is worth animal suffering. It's 2017 - why are makeup companies still testing on animals? More importantly, why are RU-vidrs who claim to be animal lovers still shilling their wares??
Avni Patel Because it's an important issue which is largely ignored by influencers because the vast majority of cosmetics companies do still test on animals. RU-vidrs and bloggers are reliant on these companies for sponsorship or being sent free gifts that they can use as content for their channel, so they won't say a word against them. Additionally, talking about the horrible reality of animal testing doesn't fit with the clean cut, perfect life image that beauty vloggers like to portray. An animal shouldn't have to suffer for us to wear lipstick.
I love this idea! Its useful if you include worst products or least favorites of each brand 😊 we don't have to love everything, and its more realistic that way I think!
MAC products are still my favorite because they remind me of the early and the best days of RU-vid before it got too manufactured and over-produced. I liked when it was girls in their bedrooms recording on their Macbooks about the products they actually loved to wear.
I started watching videos about 5 years ago and it was all about Mac. Mac's collections would be the biggest thing ever and you know what the best part of that era was? The genuine love for makeup. RU-vidrs now have been capitalized and brands are using them to shove products down people's throats. It's all about the money now, not the makeup.
Fleur DeForce love this 'best of' but like others I think the worse/or things you wouldn't recommend in a brand would be good. I'm interested in how Bobbi brown compares - heard lots about her eye concealersz also would love to hear the best of Nars and Charlotte Tilbury and hourglass. Love your videos x
I love you fleur, but I find it hypocritical that you are an animal lover but still buy from MAC. There are plenty of brands out there that are cruelty free, so why MAC? I know these comments come up a lot, but it's true. This is putting it very straightforward, but you are essentially putting money above all else as you have the lipstick coming out. There definitely are brands that are cruelty free that would love to work with you. Like please, don't be such a hypocrite
Lala xxx I totally agree. Especially when she has pets herself, she must know how horrible it is to see an animal in any discomfort, and yet she's openly promoting a brand that condone hurting animals.
You don't know that she's received these things for free. I doubt it because brands usually only gift new launches, and she spoke about a lot of classics here. She's also made a lot of MAC videos in her early channel days.
if you watch one of her canada vlogs from a few weeks ago (i think it was canada) she gets literally an ENTIRE SUITCASE of products from mac. so yes, i do know that she received them for free. it was a disgusting amount of makeup.
Lala xxx I would be really interested to know how many of the people making animal cruelty comments don't eat meat, wear leather or even use completely cruelty free make up themselves!!
Love these 'one brand' kind of videos personally! Hits and misses format I think where it fits would be good. Nars I feel like is the second tier of RU-vid throwback makeup brands. Loved this vid!
Congratulations on collaboration with Mac! This is literally a dream come true! Looking at all the lipsticks you just showed, I think I already know what your colour is going to look like: Creme Sheen formula, beige-rosy nude with maybe a gold sheen to it 😄
I will never understand why people watch Fleur when all they want to do is bitch about cruelty free makeup in the comments. There are plenty of cruelty free beauty people on RU-vid. Watch their videos instead.
electrictwilight actually it really annoys me when people bitch about cruelty free. Too faced is supposedly cruelty free but its owned by Estee lauder who are not. your money goes to too faced and estee lauder. add in the fact that some of these massive companies come out with similar formulas to the cruelty free brands that they own. so perhaps it's possible that the none cruelty free formula was created first but not released until the cruelty free one did. That means a similar formula would have been tested on animals and brands like too faced can release theirs without that specific formula have been tested on animals. Every ingredient individually has been tested on animals at some point in history and anything new will be tested on animals while companies like estee lauder and loreal continue testing on animals. Add in that people dont really think about humans in this either. Mica used in eyeshadows etc is carcinogenic if inhaled now if it was being make in the EU or the US we would have much more stringent health and safety criteria than china. But as most are made in china with different regulations to the EU or US we dont know if the product is being handled safely. also in we dont know what it took to get mica in the first place. cruelty free is great but its near impossible to find truely cruelty free.
electrictwilight it is so annoying, I agree! I know plenty of people who give me shit for using Mac & then I see them use Estée Lauder or Chanel - which are not cruelty-free whatsoever.
Ah yes, the Upward Lash Mascara. I had the same reaction as you did where I was like 'ummmm, what is this brush?' and I FREAKIN' loved it!! The packaging is hilarious.
Oh gosh new to You Tube...didn't know you replied till now! Dior or Lancome on the High end and maybe Rimmel on the drug store side. Dior is especially a brand I find intimidating. Would love to try but too expensive to make mistakes on purchases! :)
This is a fantastic video Fleur! I personally love the idea of hearing about your favourites from one specific brand. And I have to say, thinking back to your new years video where you said about wanting to focus more on what you love, this really came across well. The longer videos and genuine passion for the content you talk about really shows and that's why you are my #1 beauty blogger! Not afraid to say what you really think and truly loving all things beauty. What a star x
I do love these type of videos. I can't believe I've been watching you over 7 years now. And you are still one of my very favorites that I watch your every video :)
I really enjoyed this throwback to the early days of RU-vid. I'd like to see a best and worst mascara and eyeliner video because I'm on the hunt for them currently.
I think this type of videos are pretty useful! Really enjoy watching and also give us an idea what we should buy or not from the brand! Thanks Fleur ❤❤❤
I remember when I first found your channel about 5 years ago and I loved these types of videos and your always so honest and informative! Can't wait for your new lipstick Fleur! X
Discovered Whirl couple months ago, and I'm in love with it. The perfect color for my light/olive completion. I can put it on with a full face of makeup, or even when running to the store and I feel it's appropriate for both occasions. It's definitely becoming a holy grail !
I LOVE the "1 Brand Favorites" concept! Great video which gets me excited about MAC products again. For me, the lipsticks are my favorite. Loved your choices!!! 💄💋💜
I love these kind of videos. .please keep making them..and yes. .include the worst products also if you can. it will be a helpful guide. love ya Fleur!!
Ania Comerford Same, I think it's mostly because they don't test on the products we use here, but the ones sold in China are. as far as collaborating with them, I wouldn't before they are cruelty free.
Lotte G. Yes, they only test in China, where it is required by law. However, they do still pay to have their product tested on animals, the same products that are sold in the UK, USA, worldwide. Let's use an analogy; if someone were to murder someone in China, would they be known as a murderer in the U.K., or would the crime be disregarded because it didn't happen here?
i would not call her an animal lover, i think she views piglet as an accessory more than anything. if she loved her animals so much why don't we see her as often with her cats and other dogs? not to mention always letting them run away off-leash. she still eats meat and buys leather, so why would she care about animal testing? people would rather turn a blind eye than acknowledge the cruelty of the industry tbh.
so you missed the multiple vlogs of her letting her dogs run away? it's irresponsible, no way would i walk my dog off leash again if they ran away once, let alone a good handful of times.
I would love for Mike to see Fleur's lipstick collection, as she always tells us he's a lot more frugal with his money, so he would just be confused as to why she has so many similar colours. But I as a viewer loved your collection and reviews. Your so honest and describe everything so eloquently. Your collection is timeless and eclectic. Love the video idea. And yes we all were obsessed with MAC once upon a time, like the were the only make up brand out there lol can't wait to see your personal MAC lipstick. Xx
Does it matter if it's sponsored or not? Great to see a career can be built doing this so being sponsored is a positive thing as long as a true opinion is aired.
Agree, although the video is not sponsored, she recently did a - of course - well-paid collaboration with this brand and is showing us a lot of products she got because of this collaboration as a gift. So I'm not expecting she is unbiased. You don't bite the hand that feeds you.
Sanne WorkInProgrezz yep it's important that people are informed consumers and know who their money is going to. Sadly most people don't bother to understand.
yes please I really love hearing about best and worst on a specific brand. I want to know what to avoid or to get a tester of first and what to seek out.
I loved this Fleur, please do more like this on other high end brands as I for sure value your opinion when it comes to purchasing make-up! I cannot wait to get my hands on your MAC lipstick too! So excited for you!! Xx
I would love to see this kind of video on Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury and also some of your favourite drugstore brands like Rimmel and Collection would be so useful! Xx
If you were a true animal lover you wouldn't go near this brand! Please consider other cruelty free brands there's plenty out there. Fleur you have the power to help change and make awareness that animal testing is wrong😔
Yeeees, been waiting for this kind of video for so long! Since I don't have a lot of money to spend on high-end make-up, so I'm always thankful for helpful recommendations so I can be sure that the product is worth it :)
Love this kind of video. It's so precise and focussed. I cannot wait for your lipstick launch! My birthday is in April so it's perfect timing ☺ love you Fleur, so happy for you!
Aw I feel like I need to do a huge MAC haul now. Literally sat here and took notes for next time I'm in store. My favourites by MAC are chatterbox, syrup and ruby woo in lipsticks, and Dollymix in their blushes (although you have to go in with a really light hand with this). Love the brand spotlight videos Fleur xx
i love one brand videos! i think its fun to see similar price ranges on one video. i would find a one brand video on bobbi brown or estee lauder really interesting
I also feel like MAC is a bit forgotten because of all the new brands, but for me MAC always rocks, it is a great brand with some great products. They are the bomb in make up!
I am so glad you talked about mac lipsticks ! I have been missing them lately ! I used to have a couple I loved years ago when mac was the thing on RU-vid. Iv been on the hunt for some new ones recently , iv tried several drugstore lipsticks but haven't been satisfied. Can't wait to place my order !
Loved this video! Sometimes it can be tough to follow multi-brand videos, but with this one it just seemed really organized and gave you glimpse into the line. Maybe it's because I'm more familiar with MAC, but I was able to easily retain more of the info. 👍🏼💋💗
Fleur DeForce thanks for replying...and asking! 💗 For what it is worth, lately I'm growing more curious about Charlotte Tilbury, Giorgio Armani and/or Christian Louboutin...especially the Velvet Matte Lip Color, is it really worth spending a small fortune? 💄 I mean, you could feed a family of three and their cat for the same amount! 😁😊♥️
Hey Fleur, I love the Best of videos, especially the Brand ones, and I love love love how clear you make your sponsered vidoes, unlike some other RU-vidrs. xx
I would love an hourglass one, because i see so many youtubers talking about how good some of their products are but not in a way that allows me to see what they do best, if that makes any sense? I dont know ahaha x
Brave, Syrup and fanfare I was waiting for those. i got them because back in the day you recomended them and I still love them!! Athor all time favorite prep and prime pressed powder can't life without it. I can't wait to buy your lipstick. And yes I defenitly want to see more of these with high end brands like dior, chanel guerlain etc
Yes I love these videos I find them so informative especially if I am contemplating a few different products from a brand it's nice to have a second opinion xx
I love this type of videos! and totally include worst, it really helps! You look beautiful, and so excited for your lipstick with Mac! Need to get Whirl haha xo
What an amazing video Fleur!!! I love the idea. I do think you should include both the favourites and the least favourites. More information is always a good thing! I'd love to see one for Dior, Chanel, Givenchy, Stila, Bare Minerals, Makeup For Ever, and Charlotte Tilbury. Thank you!!
Wow, I'm so excited for you about your collaboration with Mac, Fleur! Thats amazing! 😍 Do you know if your lipstick will also be available in other countries other than the UK?
def would love more of these types of videos. not necessarily incl. worst of them. and oh hej, old school sub! i def remember all these videos from back in the days
An updated best of Rimmel would be lovely 😍 also cannot wait to make my first MAC purchase in April 💜 heard some random youtube person has collaborated with them 😂😂 so proud of you Fleur... I've been there from the early days xxx
I love the velvet teddy lipstick you can never go wrong with it!! I love there highlighters! This video has made me want to buy a few more of there products🤗
I like the idea of including stuff you don't love.... Its fair and feels honest and really pushes out any idea of bias if you're talking about the good and the bad. If there's nothing that you've tried and didn't like then that's cool, but if there's something that's being hyped and you're not into it, I wanna hear about it. My two cents (or pence even!). PS: Modesty is my absolute favorite Mac lipstick ever. On me it acts like the perfect nude. Definitely leans pinky but it just matches my lip tone so well. Also, I have several cremesheens and for some reason I feel like it's just the best texture of all of them (even if they're supposed to be the same)!
I agree Mac was the brand of youtube back in the day. I love Mac lipsticks. When I think of Mac lipsticks and you, I dont know why I always think of 'girl about town'. Maybe you liked it back in the day or maybe I am just crazy! Still remember the videos you used to film in your bathroom (think it was MUA) and down by your bed. I miss old youtube sometimes. Looking forward to your lipstick coming out in April. X
People always get on your case when make-up isn't 100% cruelty free. I often wonder if they live like that themselves. Before you put someone down about animal welfare, make sure you're completely plant-based, never wear leather or suede, adopt instead of shop, never go to a zoo or circus, etc. Oh, and most importantly, never take medication because if there's one field that's a lot worse than make-up when it comes to animal testing, it's pharmacy
See, now that's the point I don't get. When a human life is on the line, suddenly it's okay for animals to take the back seat. Because in the end our lives still matter more, right? What about taking a pain killer for a headache or hangover? Or a spray for a sore throat? Those are in no way necessary to survive but I bet you 99% of keyboard warriors use those just as easily. My point is, don't criticise others if, when push comes to shove, you (and I mean that in a general way) are just as hypocritical and self-centered as everyone else
On that we agree :-) I also think that everyone should decide for himself what he's willing to do and what is attainable. And educating people on other ways of life is a good thing! It's just all the attacking when someone lives differently than you do that I don't agree with, hence my first post. In my opinion, people should try to better themselves first, instead of bullying others into living the life they decided is best
No, it doesn't. They choose to test on animals because the latter can"t complain about the possible complications. Which is why scientists only start with human testing once the product is deemed "safe". That ties in to my earlier comment saying human lives are seen as more valuable than animals'. The only reason animals "need" to be used for anything, is because humans feel so stupidly superior and self-rightous
