Happy holidays everyone! Someone always asks, so the products I’m decluttering are being sent to two teenage girls who are Afghan refugees and beauty lovers. Thank you to my creator friend Rehma (beautytalkwithr on IG) for finding a great home for these products. I NEVER throw anything in the trash unless it is severely used or expired. That’s why I am so ruthless with these declutters - I would rather products that are somewhat new go to a loving home rather than sitting in my collection untouched until they expire. ❤
It's so crazy how I was interested in some of these items from other youtubers "favorites of 2023" and you just deinfluenced me because we have similar tastes. Thank uuuuuu
Just wanted to say I’m excited for you for your move… My husband and I just moved and I didn’t expect how helpful it would be for my mental health just to be in a new space and new energy. Things get stagnant. Decluttering is so cleansing. Loved this video, clicked on it so fast as I always do your videos!
I love your videos and your conscious approach to being a beauty lover. I also really appreciate that you time stamp. For whatever reason I always love when videos have that. Whether it’s a lot of extra work or not at all, I really appreciate it!
Seeing how in tune you are with yourself and your preferences over the last couple of years has really helped me take a step back and really think about what I want in a formula and what I will actually use in my collection. It has caused to me be able to curate a minimal, but in my opinion, perfect collection. Complete with a few of your recs. Thank you for continuing to share your amazing content even though life has thrown you a bunch of s**t this year. Sending the best vibes for you, Jon, and Thumper's next chapter!
Love the content Kait puts up, I don’t comment to support nearly enough (social anxiety and having a hard time feeling like I have something worth saying) but that genuine smile hen she said « OH HUMMINGBIRD » I mean she just seems like a beautiful human being inside and out, but with that smile? She is even more magnificent! 🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️❤️
Really appreciate your focus of cherishing the very best and enjoying all you have and letting things go that are no longer serve you. Excellent rationale and analysis, I feel like you and Amanda are the few that approaches skincare and beauty with such sincerity and professionalism and with such care for your audience and to help support us in not wasting our money and make good decisions that might better suite us. Great work Kait!
First off, you look stunning in this. Second of all, your mindset about decluttering because you have something better even though you may love a product is so healthy, I love that for you!!
This is so very helpful. I’m also streamlining my makeup as I bought a lot in ‘23 as part of my makeup journey (I’m old but I’m a newbie). You have inspired me to be even stricter about getting rid of stuff that I just don’t use..no matter how pretty it might be! Thank you for all that you do and happy holidays!
I love watching you but I find that I feel the exact opposite of you on every single thing. So basically if you hate something I’ll probably love it and if you love something, I’ll hate it. Which is useful information even if we never agree.
Thanks so much for your honesty and your critical, discerning eye. :) You and I have similar skin tones and taste in makeup aesthetics. I'm more boring, not so much for bright lips and shimmery eyes, though. After seeing your take on so many things that I have been drawn to and considered trying, you really save me a lot of time and money with these type of videos and I can't thank you enough.
Love you Kait! Thank you for keeping it real here. You are my absolute my most trusted source! I'm 53 and your info is timeless!!! Good luck and joy in your move! ❤❤❤
Absolutely love your honest and sorta ruthless reviews. Here for all the tea. I will be moving in a month and this brought all the right energy to part away from products I like but won’t use as much and they are barely used so they can to a better home. Also cut off a lot from my wishlist. Those application clips are godsend ✨ Happy Holidays 🎉 I was away so watching your videos back to back is just bliss.
I'm a couple weeks behind on videos... Obviously. 1. I hope the move is going well. Thinking of you, Jon and Thumper because moving SUCKS! 2. You look beautiful... always!
Loved this video Kait!! Do not feel bad that you were a little influenced on a few because that's marketing for you and given your job it totally makes sense they are in demand and people want to see. Being a RU-vidr that has to be a struggle. You actually did a wonderful job this whole year of de influencing. You helped me so much in skincare and to buy less! Cannot wait to see part two. I got rid of all my phytosugence shadows because they are hard and I noticed chunks of glitter and I don't have time for that lol. What you said about the stability issues in that brand, nailed it, especially after seeing those blushes 😰. Can't wait to see the updated collection. I am all for products we love and use constantly, saving money, being financially secure and repetition! I am still figuring out about my one makeup by Mario blush. I have blushing beige. I love the shade but same thing I put it on and within ten minutes it's gone. My face also eats blush and the only creams/liquids I found that stay are the ciele one in Behati and Stila blush in Lillium. I highly recommend that Stila Blush. Apparently they use it on actresses in t.v I heard that shade was used on Phoebe Bridgerton idk how true that is though but it stays all day. It's a gorgeous neutral nude pink and it can be purchased right on Amazon.
@@StateofKaitYup you have no idea. I use to have a major makeup problem like 5 years ago. Then I discovered Hannah Louise Poston's channel and shortly after I discovered your channel. You both are amazing.
Kait!!! I love your videos so much🖤 Every night after work I make/eat dinner and watch one of your videos. I love your brutal and realistic opinions and how your not afraid to speak the truth on the beauty industry. Your transistion dances were amazing in this vid😆😆 I hope your move went well and safely, and I’m sending the best vibes your way hun✨🫶 (Edited for grammar)
Ack, Kat fellow SIBO sufferer here. I’m so sorry, it messes everything up in your systems. They say it doesn’t cause pain, but I had terribly painful episodes. OK onto the video now. 😁
You’re one of the first people I’ve heard say that they don’t like the Nars creamy concealer and I agree 100%! It has never worked for me and it doesn’t matter how many ways I’ve tried to prep the skin with skincare but it never works for me. Also, I have issues with the shades as well and not being able to find a good match. Thanks for making me not feel alone in disliking that product! 😊
Once I added tretinoin and sunscreen to my skincare I quickly realized how many other products I didn’t need. I switched back to cerave, Eucerin and La Roche Posay. I do want to eventually add Skinceuticals vitamin c
the cover girl essence has the same problem as the Chanel water fresh tint. It only works on top of bare skin. Who would name a blush "evaporate"? and who would buy that?
Since I first used it, i had the same issue with milk hydro-grip and sunscreen, and I never heard any reviewer talk about it so I thought I was crazy!! I feel so validated wow ❤
Same, I wonder if a lot of beauty influencers skip sunscreen? Or maybe they only use chemical spf because mineral sunscreen definitely doesn’t seem to work with hydro grip.
You can try the exfoliating toner in the body! I also end up buying things to later realize they dont fit in my routine, so im a pro at using these in my body 😅
I wish foundations and complection products would be more skin tone accurate and not say pink when it'd yellow. I also appreciate reviews where people took new products and tested them out for more tjna 1 day to see if it's a good product or not. That's why I watch reviews to see if I want to buy the product or not.
Love this style of declutter (vs the overhead shot of hands and products and live decision making). I am sure the product/applications and speed reviews of each product make it much more work but they also make this video a much more useful tool. Thank you!
Thank you so much Kait for this review. I try to keep my makeup minimalist and always appreciate your opinion, I think I’m similar in skin type preference. I appreciate you!
The Glossier foundation is a LIE! A dirty lie! I also loved the coverage and finish of it from the sample pack but the bottle has to be a different formulation. It settles into my pores and creases around my mouth and I never experienced these issues with the sample! I got five uses from the sample and each day the foundation wore beautifully. The foundation bottle wears like a nightmare. You're the only other person who experienced this bizarre issue too, so thank you for helping me feel less crazy lol
MUFE has changed all their formulas. Hautmess Tom was in the midst of an entire brand review & had to scrap most of it because they had the old formulas. It's such a bummer to hear that a product that's worked for so many people for so long has been changed.
I finally bought the MUFE concealer in the most recent Sephora sale based on your covering a zit video and I actually returned it yesterday before watching this video. I need to cover a scar and I just could not get this concealer to adhere to my skin either. Changing foundation, no foundation, even completely bare skin and it just wouldn't stick.
Almost 50% of the makeup ur decluttring is my fave and my heart hurt, i feel u have the opposite of my taste in makeup and its fun to see other people opinions so im enjoying ur channel eventhough i followed you from few days ago ❤
I think it’s funny. Two favorite foundations are getting to cluttered by you Chanel freshwater and L’Oreal true match. It just shows different skin types can’t use the same make up even with the same skin tone.
Hi Yari!! Love from Sheila from Liverpool Uk!!🖐 I Love your makeup tips and tricks..and your energy and down to earth attitude to teaching us!! Thanks Yari!!🙏
@@StateofKait oh hi!! Sorry i was commenting on another video..and it switched before i finished!! Sorry Kait! But i was watching on my TV but i have tuned in to yours!! 🤷♀️🖐👍
How great is this!!! Someone who actually wears the product and will tell you how it behaved!Watched a MUA try on a huge amount of foundations and rate them by how they looked and applied.... But we need wear tests, cause some of them turn to 💩 after a few hours!
I don't understand the hype around the NARS concealer either. I've bought it multiple times to see if there's something that I'm missing but every time, NOPE. 😅
I use decalt before my vitamin c 2-3 mornings a week, it does help, though when I run out I’ll try some other bhas before repurchasing. My parents have a hummingbird feeder, several years ago there was a FAT hummingbird that chased all the others away. It was huge! Never seen another like it 😂
Love this! About to do the same! Also I could not get the Glossier foundation to work for me no matter what I did. I tried like 3 different colors. Just terrible.
Love love declutters! The exa product sounds so cool. I have such a hard time finding matte primers that do the job and don’t make my foundation apply or wear weird
I've NEVER understood the hype around the Nars concealer! I also didn't like it on me. Thank you for always providing honest reviews. Your channel is a breath of fresh air. PS- what eyeshadow do you have on in this video? Stunning! 😍
Some of them, but only a small portion overlap. The GRWM was a video to determine what I wanted to declutter, this is a video to explain every base product I’m decluttering and why.
I would purchase the LH cosmetics hilighter from you (and any other “too dewy” item. My dry mature skin loves it. Would love to send you my Farmacy Honey dew moisturizer!
