@@NSmith3omg right?? I have been hollering for a year about the Stainiac stains but influencers generally seem to hate The Balm. I don't love the price point, I'm a budget gal, but I have one of each color and bought three of Prom Queen, I think, the pinky coral one. They're so beautiful on the skin, and I love a lip stain that I can apply one handed in the car without a mirror. I was in love with these in 2005-8, but the orange one was my go-to, nobody had an orange/coral stain like that. Then some of the shades were unavailable and I just re-discovered them last year. I need to pick up some more at the next sale. I will say, a little does not go a long way, but it's worth it to have a foolproof lipstain that applies as easy as gloss.
In addition to TheBalm's Stainiacs, I have been loving Flower beauty stains, Saem water tints, Etude esp in the skinny tube with red caps, and the holika holika stains. Affordable stains, esp without heavy gloss added, are easiest to find from K & J beauty companies. I think I prefer western eye makeup and eastern lip & cheek products. I'm finding American style lippies to be too brightly pigmented & too shiny, high gloss lips really just emphasize my uneven skin tone.
I don’t think the tower 28 softies are meant to have a burning sensation. I would reach out to them. Mine has no tingling sensation and is actually really soothing if my lips are dry or irritated
Sidenote… Love the color coded library behind you. The lighting is great… Loving the new look! Congratulations on passing your exams as well🎉 love ya girl!
I have the Tower 28 LipSoftie in Blood Orange Vanilla and I love it! It’s not grainy or patchy and I don’t feel any burning sensation or tingling at all, so I’m not sure why you do or what would cause this as they are not advertised as being plumping. Honestly, the only thing I don’t like about it is the applicator, which I find really bulky.
So glad you love it! I might have been having a reaction to something in it. I just looked at reviews and saw a lot of other complaints about graininess though- potentially a production issue with certain batches?
@@AbbeyYung I would hate that! It sounds like products like these are finicky and react to temperature changes (probably because of the oils), as I heard similar things have happened to the Rhode lip treatments… such a bummer!
I love this style of video! I’m not much of a “collector” of makeup/skincare/hair care so I’m definitely always into videos that compare and discuss many different options of the same type of product so I can choose the one that’s best for me.
Love Ole Henriksen!! I bought the clear first and then got their holiday, berry color/jam something. LOVE THEM BOTH!! So happy they came out with more color. I need no other lip stuff. Oddly doesn't tingle for me at all and I am unable to use some of the plumping lip glosses
I have the tower 28 balm in clear and the ole Henrikson. You mention that both tingled for you and I feel absolutely 0 tingling. My favorite by far is the Ole Henrikson and I really hope they come out with more shades. They had a limited edition one (before they released these) during Christmas 2023 that was the most beautiful cool tone plum.
I love that you and @stateofkait have the same preference for lip oils. I NEED something nourishing, slightly tacky and hydrating, but also provides some pigment. That’s why the ami cole and IBP lip glaze’s are wonderful! Thanks for your honest and thorough review Abbey! ❤
I am definitely enjoying you sticking to one topic!! I was going to go out and get a lip product, and I'm so glad I watched your video ahead of time!! Thank you!!
I loooove the shade of the mauvey-rose, i found something similar for blush, the LA Girl velvet stick in Velour. I am excited, if overwhelmed, to realize how many completely new makeup shades are coming out. I think 24/25 will be transitional style year, moving into cooler tones, and more cool-warm combo shades, with 25/26 really being the first year of a new "trend decade." Im still going to wear mostly warms, but it's so exciting whenever a trend decade turns over! With the geographic trend center for beauty moving to Asia, it will be interesting to see how much western beauty changes to align with global economic changes.
Love this type of video that compares one type of product! So helpful! And I love the swatches because also being lip obsessed that’s what I always look for before buying !
do you think any of these are better than the hourglass glossy balm lipstick thing? I LOVE mine so much but there's so little product and it's so expensive.
i love the single category vids! especially helpful when i'm going thru your past vids when i'm looking for a specific product type and then it's just an easy click onto the vid to see which specifically you liked and didn't in that category. :) btw been using the dove scalp/hair therapy serum you talked about - omg it smells so freaking good lol!
I think I’d like that Milk one best as a cheek color. It’s too big for lips. I bet that would be great for my more mature (55yo) dry skin! And for summer when I don’t bother with foundation most days. 😍
Gosh!! I hate lip oils and lipgloss. It always look messy during the application and the covering is never uniform. I tried so much in the past to convince myself to love them like people do but I gave up and it confirms it even more with this video. However, the lipsticks are beautiful. I love the creamy formulas because you don't end up with a crispy dry look after an hour. Amazing work! 😊
As a mature 49 yo woman I prefer the CT lipsticks that you reviewed 1st great colors the pigment and shine it’s everything I love in a lipstick ❤I pair them with a medium nude matt lipliner with one swipe on my bottom lip and blend 👍 perfection !
I have really sensitive lips and am allergic to most lip balms. The summer Fridays one especially does absolutely nothing for me except make my lips even drier once it wears off. The Tower 28 lip balms are my favorite new balms! They actually feel nourishing on my lips and don’t feel grainy at all. There is a plumping effect but all I noticed was my lips felt warmer for the first few minutes of wearing it, no burning at all, and I’m pretty sensitive. I also own it in multiple shades and felt they were consistent. Plus the wear time on it is comparable it Aquaphor. I definitely think it’s still worth a try if you were interested in trying them out. Sad Abby didn’t have the same experience but some products work for people and some don’t.
I tried an overnight lip serum that I think you'll like. Or maybe you have tried it. It's at Walmart. b.fresh got that pillow pout overnight lip serum in very vanilla. I love it and it's like 4 dollars. Love you Abbey.
I love love the Ole Hendricksen Lip Balms. I’ve tried so many and they are the best but so hard to find in stock lately. I have the original and the cocoa and really want the strawberry one 😬
Hi Abbey! Follower since yeeeears here 🙋🏼♀️ I would really appreciate if you made an updated video on hair care and makeup on a tight budget. Thank you soso much for making great and trustable content
Abbey If you never see this I would loveeeeee you to try Dasique LIP JAM from Korea. The most juicy shiny balm I’ve ever tried. Lasts so long. The colour you’d love will probably from #09-#13 (muted one). You will fall in love I bet my life on it 🤣
For the tower 28 one, the don’t burn on my lips or on any of my friends. You may have gotten a bad batch or most likely your allergic to something. I personally loveee it. It looks nice and feels nice and the packaging is cute too. It’s relatively affordable (for sephora) I have the pink one and i use it all the time. It’s not a plumping lippy or anything so I hope you’re fine Hope this helps!❤ love your videos
Would love a video on your favorite lip products overall! Love my Dior lip oil, tower 38 lip gloss, the new summer Fridays lip oil, and classic aquaphor. I love trying new stuff but am so picky 😅
Ive become a big Ole H fan, but the balm is a bit high priced for me. However, the Lanolips tinted balms are about half the price (still spendy to me, tbh), and have been fabulous this winter. They dont have spf for US, but other countries can get them with sunscreen (FDA pls update our rules so we can join the dang world in using the good sunscreen!) It is extremely cold & dry where I live, which hits my face hard, & when temps drop below 10°F, I always use a protective blush - either a lanolips shade (the rose gold is gorgeous!) or the tarte maracuja blush (boxycharm). My cheeks have really improved & no chapping at all!
I have all four of the Tower 28 Lip Softies and enjoying them. I haven’t experienced any tingling, burning or patchiness. I’m using them at my desk right now to keep my lips hydrated and shiny. Are they the best, no. I won’t repurchase most of the shades except for Ube and maybe Watermelon or Dulce de leche. I’m waiting for my order of the new Summer Friday birthday cake but I’m sure I’ll like it as I love all their lip balms.
I know you don't like luxe beauty but the new guerlain lip oils are incredible. It feels like a pillow on the lip, doesn't run down the chin, lasts for at least 3 hours before I feel like I need more, and lightly stains and evenly wears. I was really impressed and think you would really enjoy them!
I´m happy you mentioned the strong smell of the Ole Henrikson one. Because for me it´s so strong that I won´t buy it again. Which is such a shame because the formula and colour is amazing! (I have the plane one, no smell, but also no colour... and it would be perfect for Summer so I´m bummed)
First off I am coming back for the lip stain showdown I am holding you accountable because I need the information. Second your skin tone is so relatable and I would love to see more videos about your favorite shades you give such in-depth reviews it’s fabulous. ❤🎉
Abby the third Charlotte Tilbury lipstick 💄 looks In my opinion Absolutely stunning on you I prefer it the most for you You look gorgeous with this shade Makes your exquisite blue eyes pop
I've been seeing all these new launches so I was so excited to see your video pop up! Not a new launch by any means, but the Almay lipsticks are actually really nice. They're not longwearing bit they're really creamy and comfortable, have a nice bit not overwhelming scent, and are just nice for a quick bit of color. (Especially if you're alwaysin a hurry to get out the door like I am!) Even though they're creamy, I dont really have a problem with them smearing and they dont get patchy as they wear down. They're not my top formula but they're a cheap option that still looks nice.
I love the summer friday's lip oils. As a girlie who wants to get more into oils i think it is perfect for me. Also would love to see a similar video on hair oils please
This video was so good to watch ❤. It would be great to see other like this in each category 💕. Would you be able to do a video of high-end and drugstore make-up side-by-side creating the same look or as close as possible?
I LOVE this video concept. I get so curious about new launches and it will help me feel like I experienced them without buying them but also could buy one if it's a big win in your video. :) It also helps to see them all on the same person because if someone else is raving about a lip oil it's like- do you just like alll lip oils or just this one? Anyways, I loved this video!!
Thank you for this video!! I was literally thinking how crazy it is that EVERYONE is launching a lip product right now. It’s so helpful to see and hear a side by side comparison.
Summer Fridays bday cake edition has gold shimmer, not silver ✨ 😊 it’s my first one and I love it! I think I want vanilla beige next. I think I like it more than the Rhode lip tints, especially since some of those got grainy on me.
Love this type of video! Please make more of these with different categories as the video topics, one category per video. I've tried the Summer Fridays lip butter balm in Birthday Cake and i love it! Was thinking about picking up the Haus Labs hybrid lip glaze, but after watching your review, I will probably pass. The applicator wand/doe foot is so important to me, I would rather something like the Fenty lip oils which have a nice large doe foot and are my favorite lip product as of right now.
Thank you so much for this video. Saves me time and money because I want to buy all the new lip launches but some are a total fail! I also didn’t love the tower 28 lip balms. Also, I’m really curious about your hair color? How do you find a honey blonde color that’s not super damaging. I’ve been trying out your full routine and my hair is healthier but still so far from how healthy yours is.
i really like the haus labs lip glaze but def get more gloss balm than oil or plumper. The ole lip balms so good, don't 'love' the scents so thats why i haven't tried the original but im ok with the strawberry and cocoa one. i love the SF balms but the bday cake was so meh to me ha, i felt like the original line is more hydrating. SF Oils also really good but can't surpass the balms for me. Anything that is thick, glosssy and tacky sign me up lol. Huda has new glosses coming out next week that she described as distractingly glossy and im all over that hha. T28 - i don't understand these lol. like why are those applicators back i thought we got past that. I also noticed the streaky application and i think the formula is just too thin
Hi! New to your channel. Your skin tone is very similar to mine and I'd love to know if you have any highlighter on in this video - I love the glow on your skin bc it looks translucent vs. tinted. Thanks!
I'm also allergic to fragrance, probably dyes and a few other things. Are the reviewed cosmetics on the channel are without these ingredients? Greetings
