Aww it's so lovely to hear from you again, Natalia! I really hope you enjoy watching and that you're doing well, too. More videos coming soon! 💕

I have missed you all! ❤️

Thanks so much for joining me here, Ivy! 💕

All to the tunes of Peaches, honey. 💃😎

Thank you so much! I appreciate you watching it. ❤

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed watching it. Always so nice to hear from you! ❤

Hi Kim! Ahhhh how exciting that you and your husband are going back for a holiday to Greece next year. Do you visit home often? It's funny you mention Monemvasia as that was originally on my itinerary as I was planning this trip, but we unfortunately didn't make it this time around. Nafplio was one of our favourite places that we visited as well as Limeni and Areopoli. So gorgeous! Oh, it was SO hard to leave. Normally I feel relatively okay when a trip has inevitably come to an end, but I felt SUCH a sense of dread leaving Greece as it felt so wonderful being there. The scenery, the food, the relaxed and friendly nature of the people, it was all paradise for us. ❤

Hi Deb! So lovely to hear from you, as always. Isn't Greece just so beautiful? I fell in love with it. Thank you so much for watching, and I hope you're doing well! ❤

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! The silver drop earrings are from Massimo Dutti. I bought them a few months ago and they've since sold out, but they might pop up again! ❤

Thanks so much, Janet! It was my first time visiting the country and we created some beautiful memories there. I fell in love with it and would absolutely love to go back one day!

Thank you so much, Klara! That means so much. I'm really happy to hear you enjoyed it. I finally have a few weeks off from work, so I plan to post more videos over the next month or so. It's so nice to hear from you again! 💕

Hi!! The last few months have been rough, but I now have a few weeks off from work so plan to film some videos 💕 How are you?

I just finished your lovely video Brittany & you looked so beautiful in it. It looked so serene and I hope you found joy in your travels...those sunsets!! And croissants!! My favorite food...besides olives 🫒 and wine 🍷😁 I have missed you so much bebe!! Since you last posted I got Covid AGAIN!! Was sick for five weeks... don't know where May went 🤔 also I lost my cat Carrie B two weeks ago just 10 days before her 17th birthday 😞 Plus it has been really hot & dry here. Just waiting for Autumn 🍁🍂 which is my favorite season plus I get to go on a little vacation to celebrate my anniversary 🥂 Haven't bought much lately but a really nice travel set from Tatcha & the newish Chanel Jardin Imaginaire blush/highlight duo in Berry 🩷 Sorry I just about wrote a book but we have so much to catch up on!! Love you bebe 💕💖🥰

@@pinksparkle258 Thank you so much babe! The sunsets were glorious - they really forced me to be in the moment. ❤ I have missed you and our chats too! We are twins as I also had Covid since last posting (my third time getting it, too) -- it was BRUTAL! And I'm SO sorry to hear about Carrie B. That's just heartbreaking! Sending hugs! 😥🤗 💕 Like you, I also HATE the summer heat. I absolutely despise sweating and being hot makes me so lethargic and grouchy. Winter and autumn are my favourite seasons! Where are you going for your anniversary? Oooh you have done well girl! Those purchases sound amazing. That Chanel blush and highlight duo is right up your alley. I ended up purchasing the Byredo Mineralscapes palette (right after I blabbed on and on about not being fussed by it) and I also bought a Valentino blush and Fenty lipstick. No regrets as I loooveeee it all, hehe. 😘

Haha, I'm relieved to say that my skincare routine has simplified a LOT since filming this video. 😂

Hi, the products I tried over the years were after several in-person consultations with BR specialists. Please consider this before leaving such a comment on my channel.

@@bornblushingif that is the case I don’t understand why you would have tried “every” serum and products that were never intended for a Rosacea skin. I am just looking for transparency in your attempt to represent the brand’s efficacy.

Thank you so much! I’m currently in Greece and am vlogging the trip so hope to finally post a video once I’m back! 💕 Thank you so much for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️

Hi! I miss posting them and connecting with you all 😭 I always think to do it but struggle to find the time. I’m currently away and am filming the trip so plan to post once I’m back! 💕

Thank you, Gypsy! 💕

Thank you so much, Klara! I am so glad you enjoyed this and my other bathroom video, too. I hope to post videos again very soon. I really appreciate you commenting!

Yes! It's so true - declutter videos are where the truth finally comes out!

Quite a few people have recommended that one by Got2B! I should try that one next. I'm still using that mini one by Benefit but it's on its last legs! Thank you so much for watching.

I totally agree that luxury beauty products are an investment in yourself! It’s easy to get carried away but having only what you use is definitely ideal and ultimately more satisfying. Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💕

Thank you! It was such a worthwhile investment! 💕

Oh my goodness, I am just seeing this now! Thanks so much for your message. I really want to post a video soon - it’s always on my mind. 💕 I hope to post at least within the next couple of weeks! I hope you’re doing well 😘

I do agree! I love my luxury products and think a good cleanser is worthwhile, but it has to show some benefits beyond cleansing the skin for it to be a fair investment. Thanks for watching!

Totally relatable for so many of us! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!

Hi! Thank you for being here :) Yes, I still love that blush! I appreciate how light it is now, especially for travel. It’s one of my favourite shades too!

​@@bornblushingi don't have the shade passion and now that you reviewed it I am going to buy Passion , it look great!

@@drmann9886 I hope you love it as much as I do! 💕

Hi Liên! I'm so glad you've found my videos helpful. You have some really beautiful products! So in terms of the order to apply them, I would do something like this: 1. Treatment Lotion OR Genaissance Infused Lotion (I find these perform a similar function, so no need to use both. Maybe opt one for the morning and one for the evening? I apply these directly after cleaning and toning). 2. Genaissance Serum and/or The Concentrate 3. If you're applying the Renewal Oil separately from the cream (I usually combine the two together), then I'd apply the oil first and then the cream! The cream is always the final layer, especially since it is so thick :) I hope this helps!

@@bornblushing - Thank you so much. You are so considerate. ❤️ That's a very smart and time-saving way to use them all. Thanks again. Looking forward to seeing your next videos. 🤗🤗

Hi Sarah! Thanks for watching. I still use La Mer's original cream at night -- I can't be without it! I mix it with a drop of Sisley's Black Rose Oil and it's divine. Unfortunately, I couldn't justify repurchasing the other products, as much as I love them, and they've reformulated The Tonic since this video, which is a shame as I LOVED that texture and formula! I haven't tried the new one but I heard it's very similar to The Treatment Lotion in terms of viscosity. For rosacea, I found their Genaissance Infused Lotion to be fantastic. Love Sisley! My favourites are their Velvet Sleeping Mask and Black Rose Oil. I believe in this video I was wearing Sisley's Cushion Foundation! And the concealer is the one by Cle de Peau. Hope this helps!

They really know how to get to us! She was so fun and nice. Thank you! I absolutely love Dune Kiss as well. It's such a nuanced shade! Thanks for always watching, Stephanie! I'm glad RUclips brought your attention to this video! ❤

@@bornblushing I am too!

Hi Natalia! Your comments always make MY day. Love your simple morning routine! My routine is also very simple. Have you ever used Sunday Riley’s Good Genes? I just visited my mum and she uses it, so I tried it and I love it! I’ll likely purchase it when I finish my current bottle of P50. Thank you! Oh trust me, if I can do it, you can definitely do it too! For so long it felt like a part of me that I couldn’t control or have any hold of. It’s wild to think about. The pink chair is so cool, hey? I love seeing it whenever I come home! I hope you’re keeping well, Natalia! Chat soon 💕

@@bornblushing Thank you! No, I haven't tried the Good Genes product, I remember wanting to try it years ago and I did try quite a few products from Sunday Riley but not that one. I'm so glad you and your mom love it, it'll definitely be on my wishlist now, I also want to try out their eye cream. Yes, I totally agree! The desire to shop can sometimes feel like something completely uncontrollable, I definitely need to apply the "out of sight, out of mind" because that has made me a little bit crazy with my shopping right now😓. But I'm so happy that you've managed to control that and also that the things that you do get (like the chair) or your lamp which is also so beautiful are things that really do bring joy to your day. Hope you're well and that you have a lovely week! 💕

@@nataliar163 Do let me know if you try it! Oh I know, it’s SO hard. Believe me, I understand! It can really just dominate all thoughts and feelings. But you’ve got this girl! We are in it together 💕

@@bornblushing I will, thank you!! We definitely are!!💕

So glad you enjoyed it! You're so right about just living life and getting offline. It's a great way to gain perspective and have a bit of a reality check! The online world really is filled with such fantasy, which can be great as an escape but it's also a slippery slope. I'm so happy to hear that you see progress in yourself from a year ago! I feel like we are on this journey together 💕 And I couldn't believe my eyes when editing regarding the nude lipsticks -- all I could do is shake my head!

Thank you so much! I’m so glad that you can connect with me here through my videos. It does make me feel less crazy. And so nice to hear from you again! 💕

Hahah I also feel less crazy watching your videos and connecting here. It can be so hard managing a genuine interest and appreciation for beauty, more considerate consumption, and the pitfalls of advertisement and late stage capitalism 🫠 I find I go between anxiety fuelled overconsumption (to distract myself) and complete disinterest when the low mood strikes. I hope you are doing well. I am going through a period of being really burned out myself so I’m wishing you lots of rest and recuperation 💕 looking forward to your next video whenever you feel like/ have time to post (no pressure) ☺️

@FeriDOS-my6tg I’m so sorry for my late reply to this - I’m only just seeing it now! Yes, I definitely relate to the highs and lows of spending episodes. I hope you’re managing to rest and take care of yourself as well. Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope to post a video soon 💕

Ha! Maybe one day I’ll get to your level of minimalism in my skincare 😉

Yeah, baths are still a very strange concept to me. It LOOKS like it would be more relaxing than what it actually is. I did take a shower immediately after being in the tub! Yeah, limbic capitalism is so predatory! It’s not surprising but definitely unsettling. I really do feel like I’m *finally* making progress towards “recovering” from this addiction. It makes me look back and wonder what the heck I was thinking for so long! It’s funny how issues that feel so complex often have such simple solutions that can help. Thanks for watching and leaving such great comments, Stephanie! 💕

It’s SO nice. I got mine on sale from the hair salon I go to, so I paid around $41 CAD. I’d pay full price, though! It comes with 50 reeds. Thank you for being here! 💕

Thanks so much for watching and for your kind words, Shelby! 💕

Poof! 🛁 It’s so true! That’s the trouble when first getting into makeup and skincare, I find. It’s an expensive and tedious journey to getting to find what you ACTUALLY like, and once you do find those things, you’re already kinda hooked on the rush of getting new things - at least, that’s what happened to me! I totally feel you. It’s great you’re aware and are not judging yourself harshly! All we can do is improve. And most of us have definitely been there! 💕

Hi Yvonne! Thanks so much for your kind words. Yes, I feel like once we know what works for us, there really is not much point venturing outside of that just for the sake of trying something new. I can’t see myself stopping La Mer unless I absolutely have to! It’s the best - thankfully a tub lasts for a good while. Thanks so much for your support! Love having you here 💕

Will always support u. ❤

I totally feel you on this! I used to always shop when feeling overwhelmed as well as it was my favourite way to self-soothe, but really it provided an initial burst of enjoyment and excitement but didn’t cure my problems. I’d also feel like there was always something better out there that I was missing out on when really, like you, I know what I like! Thanks so much for watching, Maya! Love chatting with ya 💕

Grad girlies unite! 💕 It was nice to research something that I feel quite passionate about and have years of first-hand experience with. It was like being the researcher and participant at the same time! Baths are a pretty weird concept to me as well. Before the one I filmed for this video, I think I hadn’t been in a bath for years. Steamy showers are definitely where it’s at! I want to try experimenting with shower bombs (I think that’s what they’re called - they release a nice scent in the shower). Thank you! I love that pink chair. I agree that white beige houses are just NOT it. Out of sight and out of mind is crushingly simple but it seems to really work. The harder part is finding a replacement for what fills in that space. Working full time and studying for my grad degree kept me so insanely busy this semester that it was perhaps a blessing in disguise, leaving me without energy to even shop. Always love chatting with you girl! 💕

@@bornblushing I will be waiting for your review on shower bombs! To me when the semester load is pretty overwhelming i shop even MORE😭 Good luck on your study❤️❤️ I do love chatting with you 🫶

@hadeelalghwairy I totally get that as I did that as well! And I’ll keep you updated if I find any good shower products! 💕

Yes! Addictions really function in the same way and it’s startling how some addictions are stigmatized far more than others. Dopamine really is such a beast! Now I need to make sure I’m not totally glued to my TV every night. 😂 Thanks for being here, Allison!

I have missed you too bebe! I plan to be back here more often when I can. I have missed our chats here! 💕 How have you been?

@@bornblushing oh I have been fine. I used somewhat restraint during the recent Sephora sale. I set a budget & stuck to it...even after some new Guerlain was released after I placed my order. Normally I would have placed a second (or third) order 🤣 I thought of you when the new Byredo eye palette was released!! 🥰❤️

@pinksparkle258 Good on you! Did you get some pink lippies? 💕 Guerlain has come out with some lovely products lately. I was waiting for Byredo to release their palette and was shocked at how I felt nothing when seeing it… everyone else seems to adore it, so I’m sure I’m the one missing out!

​@@bornblushing I did!! I splurged on Prada in Fuxia (bright Fuchsia) a Charlotte Tilbury in Rose To Fame and a Makeup by Mario in Broadway (cool pink) 💖

@@pinksparkle258 Love your picks! Prada’s beauty line seems amazing. 😍

Your forest tub experience sounds glorious! I have bubble envy. 😉 I can’t remember the brand of the knotted headband! I got it from a skincare boutique as a way to reach the free shipping threshold at the time. It was just a cheapo one. The magnetic spoon is such a nice design feature! I did enjoy the Augustinus Bader cleansing balm but didn’t feel the need to repurchase it. I love the Furtuna Skin one SO much! Best cleansing balm I’ve tried to date. 😍 The P50 available in the US is much stronger than the versions we have here in Canada. I can just imagine the burn! The La Mer Body Balm leaves such a sexy sheen on your skin! I love it even more than the body cream. It feels like a lovely weekly treatment. I just use a cheaper body lotion on other days now. Always love your comments! 💕

Yes, the time and energy we exchange for a thing has been a huge focal point for me lately! You’re right that it’s a shame in that resentment and burnout are the catalysts that got me there - but I suppose it had to happen eventually! And yeah, decision fatigue is also another big factor that plays in. It’s amazing how much it can weigh on our minds! But I’m also so proud of the progress you have made! We’ve got this 💕

We will find our inner spark. I think we are talking about and reflecting on the right things to get us there. I also feel it takes phases of deep apathy and lowness to reach that point. I actually don’t have much else in my skincare arsenal right now! I have my SPF, a daytime serum that I use as a layer between cleansing and sunscreen, and a serum that I only use as a spot treatment for breakouts. It feels so much better to have a more concise skincare regime finally! I so appreciate your long and thoughtful comments! 💕

Thank you so much! This makes me happy to hear 💕

Thanks for being here, bebe! 😘

I’d like to think I’d never give them that satisfaction, but… 🤫

SO rewd. The sigh that was sighed…

Thank you so much for watching, Janette!
