I appreciate you not making Sephora sale videos!! I always thought that if you are not willing to buy something at full price it’s probably not worth getting it on sale! ❤
Not a bad point. But I restock some of my pricier must haves during the sale. That said a lot of the companies have parallel (better) sales during the Sephora one
I really don't agree with the second half of this. Yes, I think sales can sometimes trick us into buying things we don't need and won't actually like that much, but ... here's a real example from my own life: I really want a le Creuset dutch oven because my current dutch oven is kind of crap and I want to get something that will A: last forever and B: make me feel fancy. But I'm not willing to pay $400 for it, I'm waiting for their big autumn sale to get it for $250, and I absolutely think that's worth it. Yeah, that's kind of an edge case, but depending on your budget, waiting to buy the more expensive foundation that looks better on your skin when it's on sale might also be worth it. Just don't get lured into impulse-buying.
@@MissaBrevis I totally understand that feeling! 👍 can I suggest a different dutch oven for you… I only use cast iron in my kitchen and to be honest the brand lodge id amazing! I have had their pans and Dutch oven for over 20 years and they are still in amazing condition… I am pretty sure that the price on their pans are under $400 without a sale! I am not sure if you are looking at a 7.5qt because those are in that $350ish price range… if you are looking for a 4.5qt or 6 qt definitely go with lodge brand 😊also it’s an American brand so buying American made really helps our countries economy… I think that maybe why those le creuset ovens are so expensive is because of import costs? Not sure but look into American made if you can 😊 also assuming that you are in America… lol Good luck finding your perfect Dutch oven!
@@KZ-pt5qk I appreciate the thought, but I know what I want, I know what I'm willing to pay, and I'm fine with waiting 6 months for those two to overlap. No judgement to Lodge, I'm well aware they do make quality cookware, but I like Le Creuset better for several reasons, and since this is something that I plan to use weekly for hopefully several decades, I want to get the one that I like the most, not the almost-as-good one.
It seems like Groundwork palettes are meant to be for make up artists rather than the common consumer. It seems like it fits a pretty narrow consumer who knows how to use the unusual formulas
I have the original and I love it, but I’m a huge contour and bronzer lover, so I can make a whole face with a so many neutral day and nighttime eye looks from it! Really depends on whether it would meet an individual’s needs though
It's actually very easy to use and so versatile. She's just using it wrong. The quality is great too. It's different is all, so a little insight on how to use it wouldn't hurt. The way she's using it, really doesn't say much. A lot of makeup products wouldn't work that way. lol
I feel like with the DM groundworks 2 (like many other palettes) you have to realize if you (or at least me) just like the colors aesthetically or if you actually want to use them on your face. Yes, the palette is extremely aesthetically pleasing and sexy, but realistically for personal use, I would use maybe 3-4 of the shades on my face. I’d rather just buy those colors as blushes or separate eyeshadows. But also ive seen ppl say this is a good palette for ppl why like cool tones and I’m like ”bitch where?”, half of the palette is burgundy. Its like were so starved of cool toned palettes that if 1/3 of the palette is cool tones its a ”cool tones palette”
unrelated to this video but i just finished reading your book and wrote you a silly little haiku: dear hannah louise julia might be hungry but you really ate thanks for the great content as usual 🫶🏼
Your videos have helped me cut back on spending so much!! I have never been able to really stick to a budget consistently and watching your content has helped immensely so thank you
Have you filmed a video walking us through dyeing your eyebrows? I am always wowed by the impact each time you've done so. It's got such impact and I'd love to hear your tips and see you do it on camera!
I find the texture of the Groundwork putties lends itself to use with dense-ish synthetic brushes, rather than fingers. I'm curious what tools/techniques other folks prefer.
I really love the original palette and in my experience using it, tapping works best for picking up the product. I feel like I've gotten the best results with my finger, but synthetic brushes work really well for me too if I use the tap method.
Hannah I am BEGGING you to try the roen lip elixirs for your tinted balm search. I work in credo and everyone I show them to becomes obsessed. I love the scarlet one myself but stella is constantly selling out for a reason and really fits the light color you’re looking for.
If i had a channel...I wouldn't do the Sephora bit either. But then I got alot of great products from those recommendations. I use the Groundwork pallet for my brows and I'm a pencil girly. The powder is great for brows. I really do use it for many things.
as others said, even if you were joking HLP ASMR would be to die for 💜 the glossier suits you so well! & i wish to humbly repeat my request for some kind of review of the isamaya balms, although from what i can tell they really run the gamut pigment wise
Thank you for turning me off of the DM palettes lol, the gray quality of the colors is so beautiful, but seeing/ hearing about the putty―I just ordered the first one and I will be returning it. I also realize that I only really want like 4 colors out of each of the DM palettes. ALSO very excited to see that you finally tried the Glossier bronzers! I was the one who said Swept was like A Royal Scandal (though I did not give you that deep dive on Sail). I've been dying to see if Swept did it for you lol, glad to see it did!
That's a shame about returning the DM palette. It's actually great. She's using it wrong is why it looks so bad. use a firm brush, because the pomade is more firm, then set with powder. It gives some of the most beautiful looks if half a thought was put into it.
I was also let down by the Danessa Myricks palette. Had high hopes but didn’t enjoy working with the putty either. You described it perfectly, feels like I’m just picking up the dye from the putty and it’s such an anti climactic application. Womp womp wommmp
I couldn't echo your opening statement any stronger! Whenever I colour my brows I instantly feel better, but when I look in a larger mirror I'm like "Oh hello BROWS for days!" lol. Yours look fantastic :) xo
I have a handful of the Loveshines and most of them are very very nude and lightly pigmented. It looks like you ended up with one of the darker ones, which have a little more pigment.
I wonder if a drop or two of Inglot’s duraline would improve the texture of the putty. The mascara reminds me of the super thin k-beauty mascara wands.
i would love to see you review some products from ere perez! it’s a high end clean beauty brand that’s sold at credo, detox market, and some of the products are at ulta (only online though)
When you said, “..this ridiculous business” about the Refy mascara, I fell off a stool from laughing and screaming how much I love your pragmatic honesty…😂😂😂😂
For anyone who it might help glossier cloud paint in sail is very orange! at least on my pale cool toned skin. This video reminded me to reach out and see if I can exchange it for a different shade, so thank you!
Oh my gosh....if you did an ASMR channel my mind would explode 🤣 I already kind of associate your channel with ASMR in some ways hahaha Love all your content!
Yay! Not sure if this is the right place for it, but I'm not on Instagram to send a DM... Any chance you would be willing to review the new-ish Salt New York concealer?
I know this isn’t really your kind of wheelhouse but do you think you would ever be willing to do a video swatching and reviewing all of the glossier cloud paints and bronzers and talking about their colors in depth? Since they are such an online brand it’s sometimes hard to get that information and you do it so eloquently!
Hannah I started reading Julia Hungry last night in bed. Wow you are such a talent! Absolutely beautiful work. There were many lines I read that gave me full body chills
ok i dont mean to influence your opinion but wow, i looked away from this video for a moment and when i looked back your eyes were the largest, most doe-eyed i have ever seen. i had to rewind to check if you added anything else other than the refy mascara!
Thank you for not espousing the Sephora sale. Many of us are not 'rouge'. 10-15% is not so exciting; use someone's code anyday. And honestly, I often get better deals at brand's own website
I support leaving your phone behind! I recently switched to a dumb phone, the light phone 2. LIFE CHANGING. but it is very dumb, I still have an iPhone and switch out the sim when I need google maps or have a video call or something. The phone was a huge source of my overspending, just getting lost all night researching and buying. The barrier of the dumb phone paid for itself the first month by stopping the overspending. But the presence and clarity of mind that comes with living without the dopamine machine in your pocket is truly priceless 😊
I skipped the sale and we got a new rescue dog instead. I personally recommend doing that to anyone who loves animals and has the extra space and love! 🐕💜
Jones Road just came out with new lip balms that look to be lightly pigmented. The packaging is very old school balm, think metal chapstick, but they have a cool town light brown called "Me" that may be what you are looking for.
In regard to mixing the YSL lip products, I’ve done a lot of tinkering with mixing custom shades of various things and find trying to put it back into the bullet just gets messy and isn’t as effective as one would like it to be- what I end up doing is taking an empty pan from an empty Salt NY product or eyeshadow etc. and melt the mixture using a candle warmer (could use anything to heat it up- this is just what I have) and just use my fingers or a brush. This is what I had to do with my satin Merit lipsticks because the product got wiggly in the bullet and I also like using them as blushes and that method worked beautifully!
I do this all the time! Hot (literally) tip : get a small microwave-safe container (I have little ceramic condiment bowls with a square lip; the corners make for easy pouring), nuke to melt it, mix whatever you're mixing, and pour into a cleaned empty chapstick-type tube. I've never gotten good results trying to "remake" a traditional lipstick bullet -- I feel like that's a losing proposition unless you can totally take it apart without breaking it, remove and clean the base that holds the bullet, and happen to have something the exact right diameter and depth to serve as a mold. Regular balm tubes are much easier, tho they don't look as nice. Plus, you can turn the dregs of your old fave lipstick into a tint by adding beeswax or soy wax, mango seed butter, and a little coconut oil (go easy on any oils/butters that're liquid or very very soft-melty at room temp).
Not really connected to this video, but Judydoll (a C-beauty brand available on Yesstyle) has a cushion foundation in pale olive shade B15, which is to die for! I've never found a foundation product that matched me so well, as a super pale desaturated girlie with redness 🥰
I’m not sure if you like rogue video requests, but I was watching older HLP videos and really enjoyed your review of novels/anthologies. As a newly published author, your perspective on books and what inspires you is nice to hear. In case you run out of makeup to review (lol) 😅
I love both DM palettes. The putty is perfect for laying down the base of a look or a simple one and done. I am enjoying playing with the mid and darker tones for contour and brow and lip colours. I use the powders to fix and special shades for accents and texture. I have started to mix and match the palettes too. I use synthetic brushes on these. I am excited still to play and explore. It’s pushing me to look at colour in a more artistic way. I feel a new appreciation for impressionist palettes and cubist lines.
Ulta is so much better in every way but some of my favorite lip products are only available at Sephora 🙃 just need ulta to get those brands and then I’ll be done
Hiiiii!! I bought three Dior items I have been eyeing and I love my picks. Your comments about the groundwork palette is where I tote the line. I looove the color scheme. However, at that price and puddy ratio… I don’t even like puddy THAT much. They would be beautiful as blush colors, which I already own in powders. 🙈 and liquids. Even a couple in puddy form!! (MAC Glow Play) 😭😭 there, I talked myself out of it for the 8th time.
oooh, I love the eyebrows exactly as they are, even without other makeup to balance. I'm always for a Major Brow--perhaps because I am 10 years older than you are, and the (white) supermodels who were everywhere when I was in middle and high school often had major brows in those days (before the 90s plucking trend that I proudly ignored). Cindy, Claudia, Brooke, Paulina, Isabella Rossellini, Andie Macdowell, even Christy Turlington and Tatjana Patitz's late-80s brows were Major. I think the Black top models had less leeway for sure. Also, I'm from Northern CA, and the natural, sporty, not-trying-hard look was very chic for the ritzy girls at my prep school. And that YSL 202 is glorious!
Please start an ASMR channel. First order of business: A compilation video of all the times you've put eyeshadows or lippies in order, the sped up ones where it's all clicky clacky
It sounds like a lot of people would be super into that, so obviously go for doing ASMR content if you think it would be fun, but please keep ASMR content and normal content at least clearly labeled if not on separate channels? Most ASMR stuff sets off my misophonia like WHOA and I love your content as is!
Received a bunch of gift cards for my birthday, so purchased the DM groundwork pallet- I’m in love with it. I mostly use fingers or a dense brush. Also, I fully support HLP ASMR 😂💛
They should do a 6 shade palette foe this minimalist ladies like me who don't want lots of colors. And maybe have a cool tone option,too. Maybe for each skin undertone. That would be brilliant. This palette is good for dancers who have to do stage makeup or makeup artist who need options.
I’m so sick of all the Sephora content. I still watch because I just love how some of the tubers feel like friends, but it’s just so much crap 😅. I wasn’t going to guy anything but more and more, the cloud paint is catching my attention.
I have yet to stumble upon a single person who enjoys those DM groundwork palettes! It's so interesting! In my mind, mob beauty seems to be doing something similar, but in better formulas (& colors!) than what DM is doing. I've been very interested in the cream clay products they have & they seem to be such a huge hit within the indie community specifically!
Oh I've had my eye on the MOB cream clay shadows at Beautylish forever, but then some of the reviews are like "this creases like craaaaazy" and as an oily-lid crease-prone person who's also allergic to something in a LOT of eyeshadow primers, ehhhhh. :|
Have you ever had an official color analysis? That might really help you out in your color choices! Not that you aren’t doing a fine job figuring that out on your own, but it might be a nice shortcut.😊❤
I love the YSL Candy Glaze. It is definitely very pigmented. I wear it anyway. I have learned that I can look a bit clownish if I put it on without a mirror (Cocoa anyway), so I put it on my finger then use it like a balm from a tube. Oh well. I made my choice. It's worth it. I have two shades: Cocoa and Nude Pleasure.
I have been really interested in the groundwork palette. I am one of those people that just wears blush and bronzer on my eyes and groundwork seemed really appealing. But I felt like I couldn’t buy it without seeing it in person and touching it. Hearing your review confirms my decision, and I’m certain it’s not going to be what I thought it was. Thank you for reviewing it.
I am also on the same tinted lip balm journey, although I am also looking for a cool toned pink version! I just got the Tarte sugar rush lip sip lip balm in fresh pressed. While I don’t love the chunky tube and the smell isn’t great (it’s not bad at all, just not my favorite. Kind of fruity) it fits a lot of other criteria for me. It is a twist up, nourishing, shiny lip balm with a sheer but noticeable tint that is flattering but not overpowering on my very fair skin. It also lasts longer than a lot of the others I have tried (Bobbi Brown, Dior, etc). May be an option and it is at a good price point! Another one to try may be the Clinique Chubby sticks, they have a lot of neutral colors and are moisturizing and sheer. Not a luxury experience but may be close to what you are looking for. And I know you didn’t like the Bobbi Brown but I think Bare Nude is more what you are looking for and it doesn’t seem to have any pH adjusting properties (at least mine doesn’t but mine are from a few years ago).
I am very excited to try the glossier bronzer. At least in the video it was giving the vibe of my all time favorite bronzer from Bonnie Bell that I used to wear in high school and college and have not been able to find for years… it was a gel formula that tinted the skin but left a shine.. I’m really hoping that the glossier bronzer is my grown up dupe. I may not look like I did in high school but my cheeks may:)
Swept looks really lovely on you. I agree about the DM blooming romance in terms of color (I’ve only swatched it havent used it so I can’t really comment on the formula as it performs in the face). Usually I’m not a big fan of palettes and don’t get swept up by those things but when I played with these shades I was astonished. A lot people were complaining the palette looked too brown or warm when it was being marketed as a palette of pinks, but really what they’re seeing is how each color has a balanced flesh tone built into it (and human skin color is an orange-brown) in an varying depths rather than being like pure “primary” colors. I’m olive but medium and not extremely muted, so I can handle a good amount of richness in color (don’t do well with anything that has a white base), but these types of complex fleshed out shades are extremely versatile, elegant, and flattering on a lot of people. I don’t know if I’ll ever buy it because I’m not sure I would use it enough and I feel like the putty formula would dry out (part of why I tend to stick to powder formulations, in addition to being oily), but I definitely am intrigued and have great respect for how the colors have been done.
I know basically nothing about makeup. I went to Sephora once. It didn't look like it had anything for my cool, light skin tone. The store had bad lighting and didn't have very good selection. I haven't felt the need to go back.
Ooooh, that Glossier color IS great! Too bad its primary ingredient is my arch-nememsis cyclomethicone. :( But that's ok, because I'm still loving the Salt New York cheek tints I discovered here! I'd be interested in that Danessa Myricks "putty" formula, but in single-color pots. Very much not a palette girl and I'd never use most of the shades, but I really miss the 'splosion of potted cream/putty eyeshadows and liners we had like 10ish years back! I still have (and still use, shhhhhh, we don't talk about "expiration dates") my beloved ones from Givenchy, Armani, YSL, D&G. Seems like there are SO fewer "stiff goop that dries down smudgeproof and is easy to work with and blend" formulations now, and the ones I've looked at or tried recently have been misses -- break down after a couple hours even with primer, or irritate my tetchy eyelid skin, or they only come in a handful of colors like peaches/pinks/strong orangey browns and other warm hues I just can't wear. Guess I'll finally pull the trigger on a Melt potted liner and see if that works?
Random off topic question, have you looked at the new Nyx Buttermelt Bronzers? They’re marketed as bronzers but they look more like blushes to me. No 1 Butta Cup and No 2 All Buttad Up seem like they could be old gum/silly putty adjacent.
I just brought a YSL Loveshine because when I swatched it in store I loved the colour, got it home and put it on and the reason I loved it was because it was the exact same shade as my lips. The exact same. I would be better off putting on a regular lip balm because at least then I'd get some hydration :')
Hi I am searching your posts to find out who makes your necklace. I have been looking for something very much in that vein and can’t find anything that doesn’t look cheap. Thank you!
