Thank you for watching! If you want a daily dose of glam-spiration, follow me on instagram because I am very active on that platform: instagram.com/glamgirlgabi/ What products have you purchased that you regretted later? Have you ever shopped for a "Fantasy Version" of yourself? Here is a link to Christina's Mycha's video that inspired this video: These are the clothes you will always regret buying: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-XW2GnxKnue4.htmlsi=zWZ_7kddb5qIuP_Z

As I have gotten older I shop less for the fantasy self and more for the true self. I wish I had come to that point a lot earlier in life!

@GlamGirlGabi 5 месяцев назад

Yes absolutely! I’m getting to that point now too. I’m especially bad with clothes. I have so many fancy outfits and absolutely nowhere to wear any of it.

@ebrucelikalay9416 5 месяцев назад

Same!

@turnbacktime65 5 месяцев назад

If I only had the money I spent on “fantasy self”. Well said!

@lisawyckoff7070 5 месяцев назад

Yes...fantasy self. Clothes, hair, makeup. I now wear mostly just mascara, blush, and of course sunscreen. It's so hard, especially this time of year when all the sparkly clothing is out. But I ask myself " where are you going to wear that?" And I pass on them even though it's sooooo pretty

@laurieelle1420 5 месяцев назад

I’m the same, way less fantasy, always go back to what always looks good. Try to stay away from super trendy stuff. Clean and natural makeup, less looks a whole lot better on my less than perfect 57 year old skin. Love your videos.

@TishaPerez214 5 месяцев назад

I had to face reality: I'm 52 & have lived a life of alcohol abuse, gained a ton of weight. I'm sober now for 12 years, lost a lot of weight & my skin is dehydrated & beginning to sag. I've followed recommendations that benefit my skin. I appreciate all your recommendations!

@libbygreenberg4764 5 месяцев назад

Not a fantasy self, but I purchase makeup/skincare for a much younger self. There are so few celebrities or YTbers in 65-75 year old range with grey hair for inspiration.

@sandyheller5438 5 месяцев назад

For me. I aged and was so lost because nothing worked anymore. I was so lost and started watching make up videos. Still learning. It’s like starting all over again learning how to apply makeup. Frustrating because I have always loved makeup but it is so different when you have wrinkles. 💕

@MusicLover-sb7mo 5 месяцев назад

During the pandemic I began watching RU-vid beauty tutorials. I started to believe that I needed the luxury makeup “because I am worth it”. So many foundation regrets. So many eyeshadow palette regrets. So many! I now am over it and talked myself out of impulse buying. Especially sales. I would put stuff in my Sephora cart and eventually would talk myself out of them. “Do I need it? Do I have something similar already? (I bought 3 eyeshadow palettes in 2022 that are essentially the same color story 🤦🏻‍♀️). If I have a favorite now, why try something new unless you are running out of that favorite? “ I had many foundations that were half full just due to curiosity not need”. Over it! But I do love application techniques so I can best use what I have.

@barbaradieckmann9020 5 месяцев назад

I was purchasing most products from an influencer and found myself only wearing it once and moved onto the next person. Did I I tell you that I’m 79 years young? I’m totally out of that mindset and wear simple easy to use makeup that works for my Nordic skin. What a waste of money and time. Although, I have plenty of time but not the $$$$$$. Thanks for reminding your followers of that.

@kathymcconnell6852 5 месяцев назад

You’re always so on the mark, Gabi! I have to admit I’m still shopping for my nebulous “fantasy self” - and I’m 74! 🤣 Thank you for your thoughtful and informative videos. Love them ❤

@marisolsm1280 4 месяца назад

The comment that you made about shopping for the fantasy version of myself resonates so much with me. I have done that for years with clothes and makeup and end up donating the stuff or giving it away. I realized that the problem was that I didn't accept the me that I am now. I am still working on loving me and oftentimes that isn't easy when I see myself in the mirror. I don't want to waste the little time I have left on life hoping to look like someone else and not appreciating and loving the person I am. It's a daily struggle.

@GlamGirlGabi 4 месяца назад

I'm sorry that you're facing that struggle, it's all too common for women especially as we age. When you look in the mirror next, pick one thing you like and say it out loud! You are beautiful!

@julianneeaker8738 5 месяцев назад

I love your videos and you are spot on. I recently turned 75 but still look and feel much younger. I have spent so much money since I began watching this type video and regret so much of it. It doesn't help that I am so unhappy with my life. I also suffer from depression and have most of my adult life. I will do no more impulse buying from now on. Most of the eyeshadow I have purchased this year works for me thankfully. Merry Christmas to all of you that watch these videos and read the comments. Thank you Gabi for your wit and wisdom.

@claudiafloroiu186 5 месяцев назад

Hairstylist cemetery!! Lol!!! Yes! Perfectly said. You should see my shower….why? Why do I have like 6 shampoo options?!? Also, thank you for such kind words. It truly means the world to me.

@2cmrinhfx 5 месяцев назад

I just returned from Belgium (I went for the Christmas markets & loved it). I noticed many of the women there do their makeup very French- clean good skin, subtle but nicely placed eyeshadows, and simple lips. I was struck by how polished they looked. and how young. Even older gals like myself looked polished and not overdone.I realized a lot of this buying we do is driven by the crazy world of influencers and "Black Friday or Sephora sales". I have narrowed down my content creators to people like you- real, honest, and promote the best in us- not the best products or reviews that will get them more samples etc. and you know what? I am buying less and loving what I have even more. GREAT video.

@jmac4313 4 месяца назад

Love this comment. Agree!

@rf9477 5 месяцев назад

I don't necessarily buy due to a fantasy version, but as I grew older and turned to influencers to find products that would work for the "changing me", I constantly made the mistake of thinking what worked for her will work for me. 😏 Not so! Drawers full of fails. I'm now super careful; just because this lovely mature woman says this new holy grail foundation won't pill, or settle into her wrinkles or whatever, doesn't mean it will perform that way on my skin! 😉

@ceciliarodriguez5615 5 месяцев назад

Same!!!! 💯

@sherylwickenheiser2582 5 месяцев назад

Me too. I have done this so many times. I pass stuff along to my granddaughter and daughter.

@dionline88 5 месяцев назад

I think we've all purchased something that didn't work out because I did exactly what you said... my coloring is nothing like Kim K's so when I don't end up looking all smoky & sexy, stuff sits in the drawer. And like you, I've recently begun purging products galore because I'm happier with less items. I'm up at 5am, I don't want to have to decide on which foundation, which powder, which blush will work best that day. I put the items that are working at this particular time of my life in a small makeup bag and use 'em every single day. The only decision I want to make in the morning is should I have a nude lip or a pink lip? That's IT. Then I'm out the door and punching into work by 630am. Done. Easy... just the way I like it!!

@ylive5169 5 месяцев назад

I no longer shop for the "fantasy me". And unfortunately, menopause and severe skin issues make wearing makeup a challenge. But i do enjoy watching your vids and contemplating your wisdom ~ Thank you, Gabi! 🙇‍♀️

@Drikaaa88 5 месяцев назад

Same problem here. In one year my face, eyelids change drastically. I'm still trying to accept it. By the way, I used to love shimmer and glitter.

@ediemackay2489 5 месяцев назад

Love your videos! This is a great perspective/filter to have - I have a PILE of trendy beauty items that I bought for the "fantasy" and not what fits me. This mental adjustment will totally help me declutter without guilt or question. Thank you!

@GlamGirlGabi 5 месяцев назад

Yes!! I found it so helpful when Christina said that in her video. It was very eye opening actually because I do the exact same thing!

@cusebaby10 5 месяцев назад

I am the epitome and Queen of "The Fantasy Self." I've definitely got better as I've got older, but I'm still a work in progress. It goes across the board: hair, skin, makeup, anything beauty related, clothes, shoes, jewelry, electronics and appliances, kitchen gadgets, furniture, bedding, decor! You name it! I see someone online have it, I like it, run and buy it; but the low key me uses it maybe once, if ever! I have a huge house filled with all of this "stuff", when in fact, I could easily live in a studio apt or tiny house in the Country without any of it! I'm an EXTREMELY natural & low maintenance person, but my house tells a completely different story and it looks as if I'd be high maintenance! I'm just glad I'm not alone in this, whew! Thanks for sharing, Happy Holidays, cheers! 😘

@GlamGirlGabi 5 месяцев назад

Do you ever want to just donate and start fresh with less? I always have this feeling that I should declutter and live in a more minimalist way but it’s just so hard to do that.

@missyconner306 4 месяца назад

Lifestyle is key! I am casual and daily foundation, shadow, brow treatment, lip stick, and mascara are not for me. When I dress up occasionally, certainly. But most of the time I concentrate on skin care, light blush, etc.

@user-xj7gc3es8f 2 месяца назад

Thank you for breaking down this topic and providing great advice. I am not a fantasy seeker, but can see how that can influence shopping. As a 56 year old woman, most celebrities have work done on their faces, so I try not to compare as I know that it’s a losing battle. 😂 You give fabulous tips to help make informed decisions. Thanks Gabi.

@lisafernandez1544 26 дней назад

This video definitely shared some wisdom. Before investing in a tool that requires daily commitment it is sometimes difficult to realize that you are focusing on who you idealizing yourself to be. Maybe in reality you aren't dedicated or just will not have the time based on other priorities to daily use a product. / tool. It seems obvious but it is so easy to buy that tool thinking that just having the tool fixes the problem - when only daily dedication will fix the problem.

@lisaolah7477 5 месяцев назад

OMG!! I've been on Fantasy Island . . . FOREVER! I have so much crap I could have a beatuy garage sale! Thank you for this video 😊

You are so welcome! And I feel you. I’m the same way. It’s actually outrageous.

@biljam972 2 месяца назад

To answer your question, sometimes. Sometimes I forget how old I am (51) and look for very cute dark purple or dark red brown lipsticks only to look like a Nosferatu when I put it on. I have full lips and I like the idea of dark sophisticated lipstick but sadly at my age usually it doesn't look good anymore. Also, sparkly eyeshadows or eyeshadows in most colors other than neutral. I am sad I didn't play with make up when I was younger, now it's much more difficult to look good with anything other than neutral colors.

@paulatoussaint9484 2 месяца назад

I loved your final survey question. My answer is how I found your channel and enjoy learning from your content greatly. I shop for makeup the way I always have. So I I guess that could be a fantasy version of me. I shop for makeup the way I have since I was in my 20's or 30's. I wear my makeup the same and have wondered since my late 40's and early 50's why it just doesnt look right anymore. It accentuates my aging instead of helping. When I was younger make up was always for 'decoration' let's say. But after watching you makeup is more about making the best of what I have and where I am at. Thank you so much for helping me solve these mysteries.

@farashahanem 5 месяцев назад

Hi Gabi, I do not shop for a fantasy me regarding color. I will buy products that are advertised to help with aging skin. I am 61 and try hard to fend off the obvious signs of aging while embracing the changes to my skin. I love the help that you offer and the obvious concern that you put into your posts. Thank you. Dee

@alisonschooley5459 5 месяцев назад

Wow, this was right on. I love makeup, but a 61yo grandma, does not go with the trends of today. If I were younger, I totally would be all over it. Thank you for the honesty.

@user-ii8nd9sk8t 5 месяцев назад

This video was so on target--I just had a color analysis and did a makeup declutter. As a "True Summer" I had lots of warm eyeshadow colors. It has been a transition, however, nude lipstick NEVER looks good on me. No pink nudes--I need bright pink! Yes, I make up shop for the Fantasy Version of myself. Thank you so much!

@maureenturk8578 5 месяцев назад

I think my biggest issue is finding makeup that suits my 67 year old self - my skin is also combination - where I can still break out on my chin but my lips and under eyes are as dry as the Sahara desert. I often don’t wear foundation - I generally wear mineral tinted SPFs. It seems to work best. Love your channel - you’re so down to earth, honest, funny and kind. And a natural beauty. ❤

Sorry. I had to use Google translateled. 😁. I understand English perfectly, but I don't write it well. The subject of your video has a lot to do with me, but I think I'm someone who really likes to live my fantasy world. Especially when I don't work (nursing). I wear sophisticated clothes even just to walk around the block 🤗. I made me up like I was going out at night 🤣. Sometimes I feel the stares (I'm Brazilian, but I live in Denmark). Here in Denmark people are very minimalist 🤗. I'm 53 years old and I accept myself as I am. I love my fantasy world, but we definitely have to be a little realistic and try to curb excess unnecessary purchases. After all, not everyone has so many square meters for so many things 🤣. Merry Christmas to you and your family. Kisses 😘

@jlkitz1775 5 месяцев назад

I just discovered YT beauty channels in 2016 and was hooked 🙄. The last few years has become about buying less, what I KNOW I will use and only restocking staples. I've given away so much product & continue to; I only want what I KNOW I wear regularly ✌🏾😉

UGH!!!!

I need cool toned makeup mostly and comfortable clothing or I will be unhappy. The joggers with everything is definitely me❤ and soft, satin, silky materials. I went through my clothing and got rid of a bunch of fantasy self stuff( preppy). And i am very over camo, but love olive green. ❤❤❤

@elainerivera4397 5 месяцев назад

That was the perfect description, buying for your fantasy self, never thought of that, very clever. I’ve been more mindful recently, because I realized that I wasn’t looking the way I wanted to. I found myself buying them because of the hype from YT videos, everything shadows, lip products, mascara, powder, brushes, etc. Now I analyze and ask myself the questions before I purchase.

Hey Gabi! Newer viewer, and I've been really into makeup and beauty for a year now, now at age 33!

I use to buy products for 'fantasy me' when I was younger but not now. I know my skin, I know what cosmetics look crap on me. I watch a lot of beauty channels but I don't buy what they recommend unless they have skin like mine (which is very oily). Shout out to EL double wear. I also don't buy palettes that they recommend or go viral. 1 example is the Danessa palette with all those blingy glitter colours. They would look stupid on me. I do love Pat mcGrath and Natasha Denona palettes (especially my dream palette). Also a huge fan of Charlotte Tilbury. She has some lovely one and done shadows. in the luxury palettes

Another great video! I love your earrings! Can you tell me where you bought them?

Thanks for your videos! I'm not guilty of shopping for my "fantasy self" but what I am guilty of sometimes is buying on impulse, like retail therapy when I'm feeling down. One question - what's your favourite lip gloss, but WITHOUT the plumping effect. I seriously can't stand any fragrance or that tingling thing from the peppermint oil or whatever - that's a huge NO!

Love the storage cabinet on your counter, where did you find it?

Oh it’s just from Amazon. My mom got it for me. It’s so cute right?

With makeup I am fairly realistic about what I will use. Clothes, I tend to buy things that I won’t actually wear because I home office and don’t even leave the house everyday (except to walk my dogs) therefore I live in comfy athleisure clothes. ❤💚

As someone who works from home too, I do the same thing! I have a whole closet of gorgeous clothes that I never wear lol.

Thank you, Gabi! I always try to purchase products that look best with my hair color and skin type. My hair is the same color as yours and I have combination skin. I have purchased a few things that really didn't work for me after watching a RU-vid video. Big mistake. lol

I had a waver once and got rid of it eventually. I bought it because a cute blonde with long hair at my work had waved her hair and it looked fabulous. It was a lot of work and wasn’t really for me. Also I’m a low maintenance person and don’t like to fool much with hot tools. If I curl my hair I put it in rollers and dry it or sleep on it.

Yes I do/did and have to hold back buying for my fantasy self and it’s ridiculous. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🤡😂😅😵‍💫💀 Loved this video!!! I’ll have to def check out the vid you mentioned because I need that one too. I need a major purge 😅Thanks! I love your leather jacket!!! It’s so hard to find a nice one! ❤❤

I gave your great question A LOT of thought. I do NOT shop for a fantasy version of me. I DO however, shop and discover things that [hopefully] create the best version of me. My fantasy may be that I want to look 30 years younger. But I try to do what I can to age as beautifully as I can. I cannot be and don't try to be those that I admire and think are gorgeous, like you 😍 I just want to be the best version of me. My biggest take away was at 2:45!! Thank you so much for all of this!!

Thank you so much for sharing!!! That is the best answer. You should always try to be the best version of yourself and enjoy the changes that come with that over the years. ❤️ I am sending a hug your way.
