Honestly I think most people who are not influencers or MUA’s have maaayyyybe 2 foundations. Buying a fleet of foundations is just not realistic in this economy unless you are in the beauty industry. I find this perspective so much more relatable than a roundup of 5 favourite foundations.
I love empties videos (and any of your videos, duh)! To me it shows what is really getting used and loved after initial reviews, so in essence, these are the real deal. Thank you for always being entertaining and real - hope you feel better soon!
I LOVE EMPTIES VIDEOS!!! Thanks for powering through, I hope you kick this shit soon! I’m such a nerd, I’m doing my own empties collection, since January! It’s a big box at the top of my closet so I have no idea how crazy it looks yet!
I totally agree when it comes to foundations. I always wonder how some people have space for so many, and how they decide which one to use. I can have four tops and then I get overwhelmed lol. I need to try Commodity Gold Personal ASAP! Thanks for the Pins + Needles shoutout 🖤 I love that you have a memory associated with it! It means so much you said we really know fragrance since we try so hard to get these fragrances perfect! - Britta
Fellow Spoonie struggling with Covid today. Second day of isolation. First time getting Covid too and miserable.Your hair has massive volume today!! Hope your cold is better today. Gentle hugs.
Recovering from COVID over here, so my sympathies! Presented just like a typical congestion and cough kind of cold this round (more like the flu for me last time). Thank you for providing a distraction!
You looked stunning💕 I have the Armani foundation on my list to buy after I finish one in my collection. I think it’s great that you only use one foundation, bronzer and powder at a time! I am trying to reduce the amount of makeup I own. My office floor is having the most fun time passing around a cold. 😵💫 I hope you feel better soon❤ Omg! Thank you-I love physical exfoliants! I may splurge on the Renee Rouleau scrub.💕
My makeup collection & purchases are exactly the same as yours. I only use physical exfoliants, St.Ives Gentle Smoothing Scrub with rose water & aloe, I love this budget friendly option💕. Thank you for another great video, get well soon🌸
Have you tried the Tula body butter? If not I think you’d love it. It has a slight whipped cream / vanilla type of scent but it’s not super strong and the texture is the best I’ve found. Literally feels like whipped butter. Spreads easily and sinks in so you’re not sticky. Highly recommend.
I really enjoy how you describe your experience with products. Love your empties and favorites videos! If you found the ordinary copper peptides to be sticky, check out the niod copper amino isolate serum - it’s a water texture
I have had the worst cough for weeks now, it sucks. I love the biossance copper peptide serum, I feel like my skin feels softer when I use it!! Its expensive, but sometimes its at TJ Maxx
Glad you are feeling a little better Kait. Enjoyed the video! There are so many new & good deodorants on the market that I am missing out on, but I can't go without using an antiperspirant. How do folks conceal their underarm wetness stains on blouses and t-shirts without an antiperspirant?
Dear Kait, I hope you're feeling better. I, too, love empties videos! If you don't mind me asking, is that the CT Happikiss in Pillow Talk you're wearing in the video? It looks exceptionally stunning!
Sorry you’re’ve been under the weather 💜 I’ve been super curious about the copper peptides. It’s helpful to know you have been able to tolerate the one from the Ordinary, since I have sensitive skin too. I almost bought it during their November sale, but I have got to stick with my 3 Rx topicals right now 😆
The only time it irritates my skin is if I've compromised my barrier. In that case, most products will irritate me. But when my skin is normal, I tolerate it just fine!
Could you tell me where you got these earrings? (I just posted this question on one of your shorts too, so i apologize for hounding you but now I'm on a mission to get those earrings! 😁😁)
Wait what??? How have I not seen an empties vid from you before??? They’re my fave lol. I’m not super into keeping my empties either, but I have a folder on my phone of product images organized by month so I can keep track! But that’s just cuz I like knowing what I did and didn’t like-which I add to the caption 😂😅
Hi buddy! I love the derma e microdermabrasion scrub. It’s like $30 but very frequently is on a deal at ulta. I’m on my fourth jar which really says something :)
@@StateofKaitI should say, it does have a bit of a fragrance. I believe from citrus oils. My skin cannot handle oils like that in leave on products, but since I wash it off, it’s never been a problem.
Not sure if this is helpful to you or not (or if you already do this!) but I had a thought re: filming videos when you have time: Record putting on your makeup every morning (or weekends, whatever). That way you have a backlog of product application shots and a few seconds of you holding up each product. I can only imagine what content creators’ skin goes through when they batch film make up reviews between taking it off, putting on the next product, etc. 😬 Also, I just found your videos last night, and I’m greatly enjoying them! I appreciate all the work you put into them, your honest takes, and detail you put into each product and video (especially when you provide commentary for people with skin tones different from yours-it’s an inclusion practice I find not enough YTers do in their videos). Thank you ❤
Oh I film makeup application clips every single day of the week, that’s the only way I can provide so much B roll! My skin is too sensitive to take my makeup off and do it again so I just film every day. It’s exhausting and an enormous amount of work, which is why most creators don’t film separate application clips. 😅 Thank you for the love!
Do you use the Paula’s choice sunscreen on your neck as well, or a different body spf? I get scared of tints getting on my clothes from my neck, but haven’t used a body spf yet. Really loved this! ❤️
I do use it on my neck! I don't find that it transfers to clothes unless I'm wearing a white t shirt with a high/tight neck. For that, I use Oxyclean and it gets it right out.
Hey Kait I hope you are doing well. I have a question, I think I remember you saying you have very dry skin; well I have seriously dry skin, I can take a knife and scrape the dead skin off my legs and arms., my question is do you have recommendations on what is possibly helpful for showing and cream after. I don’t know how to repair my skin barrier. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
all my skincare recommendations are in my 2022 Annual Skincare Favorites video! That might help you determine what's best for you, although I would suggest seeing a dermatologist to determine if there are any underlying problems first.
haha don't worry, this was on the back end of my cold! During the height of it I had a red, crusty nose, greasy hair, and was totally bedridden. Didn't have energy to film for a week and a half

Exactly! Thank you
Haven’t even gotten past 5 words … YES! TO THIS LOOK.
ahhhhh thank you! I'm trying to share more of my real style online VS in previous videos I tend to dress more feminine/formal. Not sure why
Empties+ Kait! The best Sunday
AWWWWWWWW

I LOVE watching Empties videos ❤️
Yay! Will film more
Thank you so much for including our Pro Resilience here! (Also super thrilled that John has been using this too!)
It’s simply the best!

Ugh I’m so sorry. Covid was brutal for me, I hope it’s not as bad for you
I love the inclusion of candles in your empties.
They’re my favorite product to talk about, even more than makeup
Love your empties video! Please do more :)
Recovering from COVID over here, so my sympathies! Presented just like a typical congestion and cough kind of cold this round (more like the flu for me last time). Thank you for providing a distraction!
Ugh feel better. I've only had Covid once and it was HORRIBLE. Glad to hear the current strain might be less intense.
Really digging the silver jewelry on you!
Thanks! Me too
This is encouraging me to finish my foundations before I buy a new one. Love the empties videos!

@@emilyc6961 sadly it got pretty low views so my audience just doesn’t resonate with it :/
@@StateofKait dang!!! :( well I appreciate you trying it out! Too bad!
Your hair! I couldn't stop staring at it, especially as someone who also has fine hair.. its a constant struggle
I actually curled it I cut before but I had sprayed texture spray and it didn’t hold the curl so I just shook it out and sprayed more texture spray 😂
Your makeup looks perfect here. Would love to know what’s on your lips and eyes. Wasn’t sure if it was the CT

Yes, I can't stand the strong fragrance in so many haircare products... high end or drugstore, so many strong scents.
