Agreed. I will never watch a review of Natasha Denona products because I just don’t think there are deserving of the hype RU-vidrs give them. And at this point, I think it’s only RU-vidrs sustaining Natasha Denona. I don’t think I know one person who doesn’t watch RU-vid that has a ND product
I personally enjoy Natasha denona's formula, but I'm not a fan of her colour stories in her larger pallets. I usually just stick with their mini pallets
Charlotte Tilbury's products have gotten so expensive in a short amount of time. When I started buying it 7ish years ago, the lipsticks were about $22 and the quads $40. Other brands have gone up but not at level of increase.
Right! I remember around 6 years ago I was having trouble finding CT products in the US (in reality I just didn’t know you could buy makeup from places that weren’t Sephora, Ulta, or the drugstore 🤦🏻♀️) so I would send money to my (now) ex, who lived in London, to buy products and bring them over when he came to visit. Kinda funny that I’d go to all that trouble in 2016, but now I refuse to pay their inflated prices
Definitely overpriced. $86 AUD for a quad is nuts. This is 10% more than I paid for Modern Renaissance five years ago, and that’s a much bigger palette than these quads. I think the price tag is part of their marketing, it’s meant to make you feel like you’re buying a luxury product. But at the end of the day, with the conservative colours of CT, you can get the same look easily with drugstore stuff and nobody would know what’s on your eye. When I started learning guitar, I discovered that experienced guitarists can make a cheap guitar sound like a professional one. It’s probably the same with makeup users.
Colourpop has such a wide range that nobody is going to like all of it, but I think all of it is for *some*body. I think they know what they're doing by releasing so much... the mistake would be to try to keep up as if one person is supposed to own/try it all
They need to chill and let the process of buying take control while at the same time keeping an eye on what’s being sold more or less as well as what product category does best.
I agree. They may not be everybody's taste but I would not say that they are overrated, at all. At least being still such a good priced brand. For example, their eye shadow quality, in my opinion of course and in general as they have so many o them, has nothing to envy Charlotte Tilbury's but then look at the price difference, it is insane! Actually CP seems to have a much more interesting packaging design process behind. That is also taste depending but nobody can say they don't vary or work on design for each of their products.
I think colourpop is more for the everyday beauty person rather then the RU-vid beauty fanatics. You can go in their website and anyone will find something they’ll like no matter what the category whether it’s lips, eyes, cheeks, etc. I do think they aren’t as affordable as they used to be considering their eyeshadow palettes are up to $24-35 depending on the size
I would add L.A. Girl as an underrated brand. They have been under the radar for years, and their eyeshadow formula is fantastic! I do love Flower Beauty - just repurchased my favorite lipstick (Petal Pout in Cinnamon Crush!) - but I noticed their website is shut down right now. Hopefully they're just retooling the site! 😟 Rebrands make me nervous...
The concealer is a staple to those who cannot get shapetape, (too expensive), and elf camo concealer (gets sold out so fast). But their eye primer, eyeshadows are meh.... (I'm saying as a perspective to my country, demands vary according to country)
I think Makeup by Mario is overrated. The new eyeshadow palette is $68 for a very neutral palette, and all the influencers have bought it and are like “this is amazing!” It’s a neutral palette!! I saw one video by Morgan Turner, and she was like “it’s nice, but you can get the same loon from Colourpop That’s Taupe”, and I was like THANK YOU!!!
I'm a sucker for neutrals and don't wear colorful shadows so it's perfect for me, BUT the price is insane! And there is way too much similar light mattes, and very few shimmers. I feel like 15€ palettes from k-beauty can do the same job and even better cause they do neutrals and sparkles the best!
@@alevsahin1428 same! I like neutrals as well, but people going crazy and spending $68 for this palette blows my mind. So many more affordable options!
That's true but as someone who likes neutrals I am looking for good quality, and my only colourpop palette is difficult for me to get pigment/ sparkle...
@@Sam-ge1vf k-beauty is more known for their sheerer pigmentation, I personally am not a fan of super pigmented shadows because I find that they are more difficult to work with. I saw some swatches of the Mario palette and it did seem like the pigmentation wasn't that intense, so I would recommend checking out Romand or unleashia, they have beautiful shadows
I can see how Charlotte Tilbury is overhyped especially because they’re not a brand I’d call diverse when it comes to their products as everything is mostly pink which won’t work for a lot of complexions, however, for myself I love the brand because as a red head I find her products complement me as a whole meaning that literally the entire brand works for me and my complexion and it’s nicely luxurious.
I would add Natasha Denona to overhyped brands. She’s not known for literally ANYTHING but eyeshadows and I’ve noticed her gondola getting smaller and moving farther back in my Sephora. I think her brand is in trouble and is only popular on You Tube at this point. Everything is on sale right now and there seems to be a phasing out of many products.
I would agree. Her prices are ridiculously high... And not because she's a one to two person brand who can't source packaging or ingredients in a less expensive way.
@@KellyGooch my prediction is ND goes belly up in 2023. Not rooting for it and I love her eyeshadows as well, but I own 3 minis, the midi Glam and the Biba and don’t see myself buying any more any time soon as I only wear neutrals. The average consumer who isn’t a YT’er doesn’t buy all the releases as they’re very expensive. Reminds me of Becca, who put all their eggs in the highlighter basket and didn’t cultivate products people actually use up and repurchase like foundations, concealers, mascaras, brow products and eyeliners.
@@lindsayhoffman2688 Eyeshadows are also one of those things you buy once. I own so many palettes I never repurchase an eyeshadow palette. So I could see the brand struggling for sure!
I enjoy the Burt’s bees products I’ve tried, I love the sheer blush stick. However, their branding has always turned me off, kind of like “clean beauty” despite now being owned by colorex 😂 but that blush stick is one of my holy grails
"Clean" as a description for things like makeup, diets, etc, infuriates me. Clean is the opposite of dirty. Just because a product is "organic" or "chemical free", doesn't mean it is. Arsenic is organic and water is a chemical. It's creating a way to mark up the price because something has been labeled "clean".
I looove BareMinerals! I’ve been using the brand (particularly the radiant foundation) sine I was 16 and you’re right it’s so light weight and perfect for spot concealing, it gives a nice glow to the face without looking patchy❤ P.S OMG I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks the Kosas concealer cap is cheap. I cracked my cap too the first time I tried it 😢 (I like to tightly squeeze my caps) and my ocd is killing me knowing that it’s there lol but yes they need to change the cap because it’s way too fragile!
The BareMinerals powder blushes are GORGEOUS. So smoothing and such flattering colours. I especially love Beige for Days and Strike a Rose. ❤ Looking forward to the Fenty video!
Pop a little eyelash glue under the burts bee pan...it will keep it in but it’s easy enough to pry out if needed. I’ve done it several times and not had a pan fall out on me again 👍🏻
I think rare is worth the hype. Everything I’ve tried is such nice quality and has great packaging. It’s high end while still not being too expensive. I love the experience of using the brand.
I love Colourpop, I honestly only hear bad things about them which makes me sad because I really do think they’ve the best eyeshadow formula at the drugstore. All anyone talks about Colourpop is about how much they launch and I definitely agree they launch too much, but I rarely see anyone talk about how good they are.
I love colourpop. I think it's people complaining about all the drops. As in another brand we don't have to buy it all. I like I get more for my money.
You are such a ray of sunshine to my days, thank you for your content. I am 58 and have been using Charlotte Tilbury before Tiktok even existed! I love Flower Beauty. I can do a full face of either. Underrated: Purlisse Illuminating BB cream. I never hear anyone talking about Purlisse, and I just love their products. XO
Yes! The BB cream is a great product! I should try more products from that brand because I also love the priming moisturizer for oily skin. (However, I can't wear the BB cream in the summer really but it's perfect for right now)
The thing I like most about Colour Pop is that products are made as close to on-demand as possible and they are flexible enough to switch things quickly. This means a lower carbon footprint and less waste.* *This information is based on a documentary from a few years ago, so that may not be the case anymore.
I feel the same about Charlotte Tilbury she only releases the same color stories for eyeshadows & cheek palettes over and over again but I also think Natasha Denona is also overrated she’s only known for eyeshadows with same color stories the same goes to Huda beauty and PatMcgraph those 4 brands are so overly overrated and hyped to oblivion that I can’t hear their names anymore I also kinda agree with Colourpop too but yet Colourpop is too affordable with high quality makeup for their amazing price range so I can’t really complain about Colourpop and everything I’ve tried from them I haven’t been disappointed with so just my opinion and my my take on that 😌✨💕
@@danalichvar3460 I’m sorry for you and your money I think makeup shouldn’t be that expensive at all especially if the formula doesn’t add up to the price
I am over ColourPop. The fast fashion business model is so toxic-bad for our budgets, bad for the environment, bad for us psychologically. They don’t give you any time to enjoy your purchase before they’re screaming at you to buy something else. I’d rather save up for a lovely piece of makeup and enjoy it until I use it up.
The problem with the Ulta brand products is there are great hidden gems but so much of the line is mediocre or not great. I wish they would get rid of the junk and listen to the reviews and focus on the good stuff.
@@ahsu0208 I have been pleased with most every Sephora product I have tried. Their single eyeshadows and gel lip liners are fabulous. A friend loves their blushes. what's annoying is when they discontinue great products like their Jelly Melt lip stain and Lip Clicks lipstick.
9:00 Jen Phelps has long been a fan of Flower Beauty an other lesser known high quality brands, and is exemplary at finding dupes for eyeshadow palettes.
Charlotte Tilbury is very overhyped but I love her products, the beautiful skin foundation, powder and film star bronze and glow give me such a great complexion and I love her eye shadow shades, the pillow talk eyeliner and lipstick. It’s so overpriced but I can’t resist, it just looks so much better on me than what I used to use
Bare minerals invisible bronzer is my HG! it has a clear base and you "can't" see it, your face looks warm but you can't tell it's bronzer, it's wild. It is no makeup makeup.
The lid on my kosas concealer also broke and I wasn’t even that tough with it. I would rather just get my drugstore concealer than pay $28 for a concealer with a lid that is just going to break before you even have a chance to use it up.
I thought about a video I saw Caroline Hirons did a couple of years ago. Hate the packaging, love the juice. It was cute. She was telling brands how much she loved different products, but hated the package they came in. Sounds like you have a few that fall there.
Kelly girl your hair is KILLING IT✨✨ but yea I agree CT is just too overhyped when there are dupes for way cheaper! That’s why I love your channel you keep it real and you just state your opinion
I totally agree about Colourpop. I think their products are good for the price and one of the better drugstore-priced brands, but I have yet to use anything from them that's my absolute favorite.
I have alot that are favorites. I can't remember the names of them all but the Not a Box of Chocolates, amazing. I'm a neutral girl, I'm an age I can't wear all the ridiculous bright colors or so called special multichromes, that are not flattering on most people
I have baseboard heaters in each room of my house and I imagine it’s the same as living with a radiator. Freezing or sweating, and the dry air really gets to me after a while!
I never see any influencers talk about Trish McEvoy. I maybe dating myself but some of the products I always go back to - Light & Lift Face Color Duo, Instant Eye Lift, & High Volume Mascara (tubing) 😊
I love your content so much!!! Your underrated brands are *on point*! I totally trust your recommendations 1000% but most importantly… you only shop cruelty-free beauty! Keep it up girl💕🥹
I started using bareMinerals when they were Bare Escentuals. I still prefer their loose products in pots. There were absolutely stunning colors and textures for eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, highlighter, etc. Dry products in pots don’t go bad, which made the cost very reasonable. Some of the eyeshadows and one blush I had from when they first opened, and they were still good. I’m not nearly as impressed with the products since Shiseido bought them, but I still had a lot of them in my collection. The colors skew more warm than they used to, but that’s my only complaint. I had so many irreplaceable colors, and I’m sad that I lost them.
I was skeptical of BareMinerals for YEARS because the first time I heard of the brand was on an infomercial. Tbh it wasn’t until Kelly hyped them up so much that I gave them a chance!
I haven’t tried a ton from R.E.M., but what I have tried are the liquid shadows (they come in a little pill-looking tube), and I’m kind of in love! I have two of the matte shades and the glittery/shimmery shade in fembot (which is absolutely stunning). Practically every day since I got the matte shades I’ll use it as a base all over my eye then pop a shimmer on the lid and it’s so easy but looks so pretty. I highly recommend those!
Same! I just picked up 2 matte shades while they were on sale, so easy and lasted all day on my hooded eyes! I was so impressed and loved the colors, it can be so hard to find liquid/cream matte eyecolors in certain colors. The packaging is nice too, it has some weight to it
For me Overhyped: Pat McGrath Deserve the hype: Rare Beauty and Elf Deserve more hype: Smashbox and Iconic London I agree with almost all of your takes though I haven’t been temped to buy or try any REM but love Cloud.
Charlotte Tilbury may be too expensive and a bit hyped, but nothing works for me like that brand does! 80% of my makeup that are holy grail is from CT exept foundation and blush! Everything else is just perfect! Looove it! :)
I absolutely love your hair color, Kelly. I also want to say I would be very happy to pay a lot less for a product with less beautiful packaging. Packaging is overrated...a lot.
I was just thinking that the other day. I find it incredibly ridiculous that some makeup influencers almost humanize the packaging of these high end products. They are "interacting" with the packaging and justifying the high price points because of it. When did packaging become more important than performance??
Have you tried Lisa Eldridge's makeup? I've only seen a few people talking about it, but I heard that the quality is amazing. It's on the high end/luxury side, though.
I love Charlotte Tilbury. She is quite pricey 😬 & I think thats where people struggle!!! I'd loveee her quad, but that's definitely outta my price range for 4 palettes!!! Once I'm done with school, & land my nursing job lol maybeee it won't bother me 🤑
I bought into the Kosas hype. Have been using NARS radiant creamy concealer for years and bought the Kosas one not too long ago to use when I run out. Still haven't tried it though! And Rare Beauty blush imo do live up to the hype, you can get so many wears out of one bottle. I imagine it could last me years if makeup didn't expire.
If you have hooded oily lids, the Ulta brand eyeshadow primer is THE BEST. I love it so much. I just wish it came with an applicator because I don't like using my fingers to apply stuff on my eyes, but that is just me being picky. It dries matte and works like a dream.
I’ve never been able to pay CT prices even though I’ve purchased many a high end product. Maybe it’s all the comments/videos like these reporting how overhyped the whole brand is.
Good to hear your thoughts! I love your hair look and earrings! I love Burt’s bees blushes and I swear they are best I’ve tried from drugstore! It’s funny you say that about toasted cinnamon because I think that shade would look so pretty on you but it’s funny cuz I got rid of the pink shade because I didn’t love the way it looked on me but now those shades are so popular that I kinda want to get it again! I love bare minerals blonzer! I need to try their powder foundation, I only tried liquid one that I didn’t like that much but I do think the powder one is good! I agree fenty is so good- I keep buying their highlighters and lip glosses! I definitely want to try saie liquid blushes!
This was fun Kelly! I agree that Fenty is accurately rated, i’m slowly trying more from them and have never been let down! I’ve used up their eaze drop skin tint almost completely 😍 I feel like Natasha Denona is overhyped. I do have some pretty palettes from them but I feel like mostly it’s not worth the price tag.
@@GlamBySam Kelly is my makeup opposite. Everything she hates I end up LOVING, and a lot of the things she loves that I have used I hate. I find it hilarious 😂
I really love fentys shade range on everything! But sometimes the formulas don't work for me. Like the foundation. Love the shade ranges but hate the formulas....I was so excited when I saw 5 different shades of red for their brow pencil instead of the basic auburn, caramel, and the supposed universal taupe. But I don't love the formula on that one either.
I love Flower Beauty! I would add Honest Beauty to that list as well! And I just got the Morphe 2 skin tint & concealer and they are fantastic! I feel like Touch in Sol’s primers don’t get enough hype. And I love the Pixi eyeliners.
I like Charlotte Tilbury as it is sophisticated and flattering for the 45+ me. Something in her undertones are really great. I adore her lipsticks and complexionproducts. Natasha Denona is my fave for eyeshadow for the same reasons; fun but sophisticated/muted, quality but also the formula fits on my eyes. And Hourglass takes my money on blush and lightingpowders. Flower tipped the Dutch market but last time they were gone at my Dutch drugstore. I like Kiko Milano, underhyped if you ask me.
I say Kylie is definitely overrated. I’m confused by her vision? Feels like collab after collab. I would rather buy from Colourpop if I want a fun little collab. I think you were pretty spot on overall.
Lol as I’m watching this video you downloaded the Fenty best and worst and it popped up on my notifications lol. Gotta try that bare minerals powder foundation now. And I honestly think Pat McGrath labs is slightly over rated at least on RU-vid it is. I own several of her Pallets and yes they’re great but nothing mind blowing to match the price besides the utterly amazing packaging. Her packaging of her mothership pallets is breathtaking !!! So heavy and that beveled mirror 🥰…But honestly If she puts one more gold or bronze shade in her next mothership pallet I’m going to scream !!!!
Hi i adore charlotte Tilbury , and own almost all her products , yes her products are expensive however i have never had cause for concern from her brand , Also i have used estee lauder from the age of 16 yrs old and will continue to do so i buy all their products for all my complexion products which includes skin care , in face i have never used drug store makeup ever.
I think Charlotte Tilbury excels at cheek products 🤔 They are stunning and I'm anticipating the new powder highlighters. Fenty does great primers in particular. The soft matte one is a holy grail with combination sensitive skin. I'd love to try Flower beauty, but it's hard to find in my country. A brand I think is slept on is Lethal Cosmetics, in particular their face products. They have gorgeous blushes and highlighters! They never let me down and their range of colours is some of the best out there. They had red before it was a thing and they have an orange shade for any skin tone. Their lilac blush Hybrid is perfection for jellyfish pale beings such as myself 😆👌🏻 Their bronzer/contour options are also there.
I love bareMinerals Complexion Rescue- an all mineral spf 30 in a moisturizing tinted moisturizer base that feels so good and doesn’t irritate my allergic reactive skin. Charlotte T has several of my favourite products- Filmstar Bronze & Glow, Pillow Talk lipstick and liner along with the blush and eye quad. Simple easy daytime look that suits me. I love the Airbrush pressed powder, Pillow Talk mascara and the Brow Cheat. Those I reach for over & over but not her other stuff. My favourites from her just perform perfectly every single time. The rest aren’t great in my experience but it’s so individual. I hate several viral products- that glowgasm cheek stuff, cream eyeshadow, eyeliners and flawless filter. Yuck! I decluttered those! But people love them. Just not me.
TIL that flower beauty is Drew Barrymore's brand and that kind of makes me happy about the fact that it's underrated. I feel like so many celebrities launch products and use their names/ faces to just rake in the cash, often without producing products worth their price tag. They build hype, sell a ton of crap products before people really catch on and stop buying, and then just close the brand, walking away with millions. It seems like Drew is actually creating good products, at a reasonable price point, and selling them as...products, not merch. They're in normal stores and being sold to people who probably don't even know it's hers. It has survived for a decade and will likely survive for many more because it operates like an actual business and not a merch machine.
Sephora Collection has some great products that are pretty affordable. I haven't tried a whole lot from them, but I've been impressed with the things I have tried. I really like their matte bronzer, although I think they might have reformulated it from the one I have.
Fully agree with Flower Beauty. Their brushes in particular are what I've really latched onto! And recently I found a new love for the blush bombs because I LOVE mixing it with other creams, but mainly other powders. I've scraped some of my nabla highlighters into them and it's a stunning effect. I've also hopped on the fenty train, (I have the cream blush and powder foundation) and it's kinda annoying how much I like everything because they are pricey. but THANK GOD they're sold at Ulta now and I can use some points.
All year I've wanted to purchase something from Charlotte Tilbury to try the brand for the first time. I came close with the new blush palette (looked gorgeous 😍), but I talked myself out of it once I watched so many negative reviews saying that it was very hard pressed. IMO $75 is too expensive for it not to be a homerun.
I'd say try an airbrush powder, flawless filter or one of the wands. Those IMO are superior, also available in minis! Other products are good, but not mind blowing
Bareminerals is my favourite brand. I have tons of products from them, they're all so good! The original powder foundation, loose blushes, eyeshadow etc. I'm sad all their shops and counters have gone in uk
Got a good laugh when you mentioned REM because I said aloud "Those Interstellar highlighters were horrible" right when you mentioned liking Miss Mercury. 😂 Different strokes for different folks. That also applies to CT and Fenty, for me. I'm by no means a Charlotte Tilbury stan but I do like all of the cosmetics I've tried from the brand and there are a few I won't be without (mascara in Dream Pop, Exaggereyes quad, Light Wand); whereas, Fenty I wanted to like but haven't had any luck with anything aside from the Poutsicle which only comes in three colours and is never in stock! I wonder if demographics has anything to do with it because I'm an old broad and CT does seem a bit more targeted toward an older age group than Fenty. 🤷🏻♀️
I wore Bare Minerals powder foundation for about 25 years (back when you could only buy it through infomercials..lol). It covered my rosacea better than anything on the market! Unfortunately, menopause and dry skin put a screeching halt to that 😭 I've had to go back to my high school method of liquid foundation and it totally sucks. I'll forever miss that Bare Minerals!
yes actually it was my Kosas powder that had an issue where it doesn’t snap close because the plastic broke. That is a bummer. I agree with so many of the things you said 😊
Loved this video Kelly!!! My list… Overrated: Charlotte Tilbury, ColourPop, Underrated/Needs more Love: Kiko Milano, Flower Beauty, Nabla, Dose of Colors Worth the Hype: Victoria Beckham Beauty, LYS, Milani, Natasha Denona
I agree that CT is definitely overrated. Most of her products are overpriced for decent not mind blowing makeup. Sure there are a few products I like, but there’s also a lot that are not impressive like her big cream bronzer, her new concealer has glitter in it (why?!), her cream shadows are okay nothing groundbreaking I tried oyster Pearl and had the same result like you, her new foundation is good but I think there’s some shimmer in it too Also I don’t think REM is overrated but also not underrated, I think its a brand that doesn’t matter and she has no product that stands out and constantly sells out like fenty’s glossbombs or rare beauty’s liquid blushes
I have to disagree with you on CT and CP. Yes, CT is a bit pricey but high quality. I have never had a bad look using her makeup. Plus she has good sales and bundles if you buy direct on her site. CP eyeshadow quality better than a lot of luxury brands. Love the colour shock singles! Overhyped: Tom Ford, Dior and Pat McGrath Under-hyped: Sephora brand and Essence in drugstore
The only thing from Kylie I have used is a concealer. Sephora had a huge sale on it sometime back when I was searching for a concealer to cover my dark circles I now have. It works fairly well, but I am still searching for something for my mature eyes. An over 50 sub here!
I bought the highlighter from flower beauty that you recommended as a dupe for Charlotte tilbury. It is coming in the mail, but I am excited to try it.
I love your nails! Also, I'm planning on getting some flower beauty soon. I've had the liquid blush and those shimmer palettes on my wishlist for awhile now. But! My bf just gave me an Amazon gift card for Christmas and I ordered the Catrice True Skin foundation and the Nyx Bare With Me concealer, thanks to your recommendations. I'm excited to try them. 😊 So far though, I've been impressed with what I've tried that you love.
I totally agree about CT, in my opinion it is so overrated. I don't think that their products are that amazing or much better than others, including many from much more affordable brands...especially at those prices! You are definitely paying extra (and a lot of, considering their prices) for the brand. Then also their packaging is sometimes not that nice, some feel plastic-y and light for how they look like. I never felt excited to purchase their products but considering the hype, i got a few that had extremely good reviews. Are they bad? Nope. But i am not that impressed by them and at those prices, mm, don't feel tempted to get any more.
the only product i do not like from Fenty is their liquid highlight. it does not dry down, stays sticky on my face, and throughout the day, i can feel my hair getting stuck in it!
The Fenty cream blushes and bronzer are amazing I have Butta biscuit in the cream bronzer and it’s the perfect cool toned bronzer I am fair neutral and the cheeks out blush in cupid is amazing also they both blend out sheer and buildable in fact my 12 year old is extremely fair and they work great on her . Can’t wait to see your Fenty video
I think Tom Ford makeup is overrated. There’s quite a few hit and miss releases - and at this price point - they should ALL be hits. Plus, I think some influencers “love” it just because it’s a luxury brand. I’ve followed RU-vid channels where someone will gush over a product during an initial release - and I almost never hear about it again until the inevitable declutter video. It’s like, so…it was so great that you saved it to throw away 🤷♀️
Its funny you say CT is always "pink and rosy" because every single "pink" or "rose" product from CT looks orange on me! Her lipsticks go especially orange on me.
Thanks for this video. Also…When you get a chance can you compare Rare bronzer with the Fenty that you have? Angelica Nyqvist mentioned Rare bronzer is the best formula she’s ever tried. I know you both are a decade apart in age and live in different climates but I appreciate both of your honest opinions when purchasing quality products. Thanks in advance.
