  • I appreciate your take on these products. I feel like price is a major factor. A pretty good mascara that takes some work for $8 or $10 is still a pretty good product. A pretty good mascara that takes some work but costs you $40 is no longer a pretty good product.
  • i cant even explain how much the term mono palette enrages me. maybe it's because i grew up during the 2014 era of palettes with 50 shades of brown but its like cmon covergirl THAT IS A SINGLE SHADOW😭
  • @salponce3368
    I sincerely hope brands launch more SPF lip products! Not just lip balms, but lip glosses, lipsticks, etc.
  • @filialpiety
    seatgeek sponsorship?! dang kelly i'm happy for u!!
  • @smilesxo06
    The wasted plastic and look of the Rhode blushes just turns me off. It looks too bulky to be a “pocket blush”. I do appreciate that the shades are muted as opposed to the very vibrant blush shades we are getting from other brands.
  • @paulinab0412
    kelly- I loved and so appreciate the close ups (Ex. the elf base product) as its typically hard to see (with all youtubers) the true texture issues with a bad formula. most foundations look dry around my chin like that so was so nice to see someone show the issue, label it, and express there's better formulations. sometimes I feel like im on my own planet with those issues
  • @kateliness2
    I haven't picked up the Makeup by Mario stick blush or bronzer because of the packaging! It sounds shallow, but I can't pay high-end prices for cheap looking packaging. If it were drugstore, fine. But for $$$, nope.
  • @NailTimeWithLex
    Ok, I definitely appreciate videos like this and the fact that you're exclusively cruelty free and so honest makes this style so much better. I am also exclusively cruelty free and love your content! Also, loving this dark honey blonde you've got going on! 😍
  • As someone who’s in my mid 50s I can’t see the tiny print on ELF packaging. Grr! I really do like the foundation, but it could also be that my skin is over 30 years older than yours. Maybe I need a little more help.😂 I really appreciate your critical eye. You and Jessica Braun are some of the few content creators that I really trust even though I know you take sponsorships (because, you have to make a living and I get that). But I really feel like your true feelings show. Thanks for another helpful video, Kelly.
  • @fishnsyd
    I can tell you’ve been upping your editing game recently! I’ve noticed the transitions and b-roll and it’s appreciated 😊
  • @maavify
    Not gonna lie, “Mono-palette” is enough for me to decide not to buy it 😬
  • @marygabriellee
    Shocked you don’t like the Kosas blushes! I have been reaching for them almost everyday. I love how sheer they are and love the glow.
  • @pinkfeet518
    with the pocket blushes, i’ve been using 2 fingertips to tap the blush directly from stick to cheek. i keep tapping the same area and slowly move my hand outward. it’s the best way to keep it concentrated!
  • I thought I was alone with the new ELF foundation. Just doesn't work for me either. Thanks for the validation that I'm not alone or doing something wrong! 💖
  • @zebrastrong9291
    Trigger warning below for morbid story about how well my KVD liquid gel bronzer works…. As far as liquid bronzers, the one from KVD is still my favorite! Crazy easy to use and still looks good on my skin after a grueling 13 hr shift! TW: We had a code at work, and I ended up doing 13 minutes of CPR near the end of the shift. One of my coworkers ended up buying her own bottle of it because, according to her, if my makeup could last through that level of intensity, she needed it!
  • @onimendez7735
    Cool/fair skin tone here; you may like the Supergoop SPF 30 tinted lip balm in "Lucky Me".😊
  • @abbychuma4668
    I noticed a couple of the things I don’t like buying is bronzer or blush stick products because I’d rather just be able to put it on my face directly but it always lifts what’s underneath. It’ll save me some money though!
  • @maceymooo
    you look like an american girl doll in this video it’s such a cute look for you !! <33
