You make me excited about Mondays just because I get to see your videos! 😍 Your beauty room looks so pretty!!! Love it! Maybe we could get an updated beauty room tour? 😁 xoxox
You said on twitter that you would be doing an updated Makeup Collection. Just wondering when that will be up. And also I love you and have been obsessed with your videos for about 2 years!
Try La Roche Posay micellar water !!! it's very good for the skin and takes off very well the face makeup ! It doesn't hurt eyes and works very well with eyeliner and eyeshdow
I like how even though Hourglass sent the primers to her she didn't suck up to them and just gave her honest opinion. Other RUclipsrs would rave about it even if they hated it.
SINCE you're doing so many of these videos now.....i would LOVE to see you put these products on and show us how "ohhhh honeyyyy" you look.....i think it'd be a hilarious spin to these sometimes awkward "disappointing products" videos.
Allison M Chelsea Maharaj she should try on the disappointing products? In the video she said that one of the items made her look like "ohhh honeyyyyy"....it was an expression...
Disappointing products videos are awesome. That way I don't waste my $$ on products that may also be disappointing to me. It gives me a frame of reference. However, there are times when the reason it disappoints you clues me in that it may work for me!
You don't need to keep saying " Please don't be offended". Its YOUR channel and YOUR opinion. If people are offended, Oh well. They don't need to watch you.
You need to do a whole video called 'Dat's Espensive'... kind of like Jeffree Star's $70 Eyeliner or $200 foundation videos. Get yourself an espensive product and review it XD
I love the background in this video. Also I love these types of videos because it helps to see not only what people love but also what people aren't loving.
Story time: I get really oddly excited when I meet someone with my name & I was at the casino in the Bahamas and the dealer was named Kathleen and I yelled OMG!!! That's my name too!!!! And she looked at me like I was crazy :/ lmao
At ulta they have dupes for both of those highlighters! You should check them out! They are the make up revolution strobe balms! They are very pretty! Only like $7 each
+KathleenLights Oh I'm excited to hear you say this. In the video I was like ok I guess I won't get those. However this comment makes me think hmmm maybe I will try them, because I have medium to dark skin tone. They did look amazing on Desi Perkins, and she wears the same foundation colors I do.
in addition to just being duochrome shadows, the packaging is cheap for $70 and the brush that comes with it is just as cheap and ineffective. it's really disappointing!!
I love these types of videos - I'm always at war with myself when trying to buy cosmetic products and this helps a LOT! And I love that it shows how real and genuine you are... To review certain disappointing products from brands you've collaborated with - it shows how much you care about your subscribers and what you put your name on (in terms of recommendations) and that you won't settle for mediocre batches/products! I'll continue to buy from brands that you've mentioned here, but at least now I know which products to pass over. Thanks girl!
I really really find these videos helpful!! I absolutely LOVE all your videos! Your makeup collection is goals! You should do an updated makeup collection! I love you Kathleen!
I am surprised that you mentioned colourpop in a disappointing video considering how you have collaborated with them. Thank you for being open minded and honest enough to admit about products you don't like even in your favorite brands.
WHO ELSE WAS LOVING HER LIP COLOR AND CHECKED THE DESCRIPTION BAR AND SAW THIS?????????? ----> Lips: Oh, I can't talk about that yet and Eyes: Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara, an eyeliner I can't talk about yet *_______________* ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love how absolutely honest you are with us. You aren't afraid to tell the truth even if you work for a company or have PR packages, you always tell us how you truly feel. Thanks for being so reliable and trustworthy! I wish everyone had the same integrity that you do! And on an unrelated note, I love your lipstick!!!!
I LOVE these kinds of videos more than monthly favorites, I could skip a monthly fave video but I will NEVER skip a disappointing video. I'm weird like that lol. Also recently I tried the born this way foundation from too faced and I loved it upon first application but I have combo skin and I got too oily too fast so I was disappointed by that.
+eyerus yes try it! It worked wonderfully on the parts of my face that are more dry. The coverage and the longevity are great. It also didn't break me out. It's just me and my silly oily nose that are the problem 😂
I love mine! It hasn't dramatically cleared up any acne but I feel like its taken away texture leaving my skin smoother. It's definitely more hygienic than the Clarisonic but I liked how the Clarisonic brush really scrubed the day off and you could see the makeup on the brush head as a result. I know you want Kathleen's opinion, but those are my two cents!
+Hillary Tracy I just bought the Foreo Luna 2 for normal skin and only have been using it for 2 days, no major difference except my skin is a lot smoother. Never had an acne problem. Thank you for giving me your opinion!!
Kathleen lights is legit my saviour because I have such dry skin on my face and body and dry haor! It's unreal, so ty Kathleen for being so helpful for me and other people who have dry skin! 💖💖💖💖
I love how she's always truthful when it comes to reviewing products. Even when she has collaborated with Colourpop and all these companies send her free products, she never holds back from being honest! love you kathleen xx
+KathleenLights went to go look in your description box immediately to see what your lip color was because it immediately caught my eye and now I'm super excited to see what you're working on!!
I love how honest you are! Companies send you stuff and yet you're 100% honest about it. I hate it when youtubers start out small and very honest and the second they get that package they love everything and nothing is bad. So thank you!
You are so rare.You gave honest reviews that you were sent free, and even products you're sponsored by! So many gurus lie out there ass if it was sent or sponsored. Props to you, respect.
Thank you for sharing the products that disappointed you, it's cool seeing what doesn't work on you and then what may work on myself or what we may both agree on 🙂 also loving your lip color✨
keep filming these videos please!!!! it really helps to hear your opinion on products that I consider buying and hear about. i love your channel because you balance enough tutorial videos with kat chats, chatty get readys, room tours/makeup stash videos, and videos like these!! love you kathleen keep doing you
Are my eyes going or you're really sporting the side-parted hair again?! I've always thought you look extra beautiful when you style your hair like that back in the days 😍
Yas girl I love your honesty!!! So many respected RUclipsrs have talked about the Pat McGrath highlighters and most haven't addressed it's most obvious feature, the cheap packaging.
They've just got taking out of every shop in my country, they have a lot of bad chemicals in them, so I wouldnt recommend, many people love them, but they're kinda toxic
I lobe that lipcolor!!! can't wait for you to tell us about it. Also, your dog looks so cute sleeping in the background totally chillin as you were filming 😂
Always love your bloopers. Kudos for being public about products you don't like even when it comes to brands you've collaborated with. I personally appreciate these videos because, while our preferences vary, it can save some viewers money and it also informs brands on possible improvements with future products.
I just bought that Physicians formular bronzer day before yesterday and the damn thing didn't show up on me either. So it'll be going back... Butter bronzer looked like it'd be too light on me...
I saw that butter bronzer (as raved by Kathleen) and it looked gorgeous but if I put it on, u'd think I was trying to brightening my cheeks, never mind darken them. They need to get it together & cater to us brown girls as u said Jess G.
ALSO. I just want to say how much I appreciate you for being so honest about the products you don't like. It seems like some RUclipsrs want to just praise the big brands who send them PR, whether they like them or not. But I love how honest you are about products, whether it's Giorgio Armani or Wet and Wild.... You are ALWAYS 100% real with us and that's why I follow you!!! Xoxo
"Loose lips sink ships" and all, but I can't wait for the reveal! So pretty. (Shouldn't get my hopes up, though. They always look different [read: better] on K-Lights.)
Could you PLEASE do another "My Makeup Stash" with all types of eyeliners? I love the liners you've used in previous videos, but I would love to see how they compare and which ones you love the most. NEVER stop making videos. You're my number one go-to for makeup advice.
I find that the garnier micellar water does sting my eyes too, but only I have excessive water on the cotton pad I'm using. If I take it off it works great. Personally I love the Garnier micellar water.
I've heard great things about using coconut oil for tough makeup. I might just try that next. I'm currently using baby oil and it works well but I'm not to fond of the scent lol thanks for the reply!
I didn't like those wet n wild blushes. I gave them to my 10 year old to play with. They don't show up and see gone in 5 minutes. I didn't like the Sephora eyeliner. Returned! I didn't even order the Pat McGrath. $72! I'm glad I didn't. I'll spend $72, but not on that. I like these videos. Very informative.
Yes! I've had a lot of disappointing products lately too. Usually they don't work for my skin type or are better suited to someone your age (I'm old enough to be your mom). Still looking for my HG foundation and for a liner that will stay in my waterline.
I'm absolutely in love with the MUFE Ultra HD Foundation. It's just dewy enough but not to make me look oily. It smells great and feels great on my skin and the color is an exact perfect match. Evens out my skin tone and covers blemishes without it feeling heavy. I barely need concealer with it. I could go on for days about that foundation and the color selection is incredible. I was kinda upset that i fell in love with a $42 foundation, because the Sephora worker did a blind test on me with that one and a Clinique one, but it ended up being worth it in the long run for me personally. I'm sure you've tried it though.
You are so brave for posting these kinds of videos, and especially the part about the Pat McGrath highlighters! This is why I love your channel cause you're always honest and don't care if the brand is high end or not, you never lie. Love you and keep up the amazing work!
hey girl have you ever tried taking fish oil? that's what we give my daughter for her dry skin in the winter. the idea is to be moisturized from the inside out
+Jay Bugg my daughter actually eats extremely well thank you. nutrition is something I have a high interest in and give it a very large emphasis. it is genetics as my husband gets the same thing he always gets eczema in the winter. and supplementing with fish oil during the cold dry months definitely helped. if I missed a day or two she would start getting eczema spots. she doesn't get anything now that it's the warmer months. to everyone else who asked yes, she swallows the fish oil so she gets moisturized from the inside out. she sees a naturopathic pediatrician. aka her doctor focuses on natural cures rather than harmful creams or prescriptions. if you always have dry skin you will always need to take the fish oil (if that is helping). if you stop than your dry skin will come back. it's like putting lotion on your insides
erm... Omega 3s reduce inflammation in the body, which is often auto-immune related. Eczema and dry skin are often presentations of auto-immune related inflammation and reactions in the body. Fish oil reduces inflammation which in turn helps with eczema and dry skin. It's not lotion for your insides, the oil is not lubricating you. It's an anti-inflammatory.
Have you ever used Mac's Face and Body foundation? I've never tried it, but I visited the Elf store in Manhattan (I'm always there lol) and they have a a new foundation serum. The woman at checkout told me that they got their inspiration from Mac to create that. I've been using it and I like it! But I've never really used anything as liquified as that so I don't have anything to compare it to. I was wondering if you've tried the Foundation serum from Elf or if you could? I'd love to know if you think it's similar to high end ones or if I should splurge! Xoxo
I really like these videos! It's almost like a friendly hint of "buyer beware" cause you know we ain't got time nor money to be wasting on makeup that sucks! Thanks Kathleen, you da best!
Eyerytime i want to go makeup shopping i have to watch kathleens videos of her favorite products that she doesn't like. I really trust her opinion we both have dry and fair skin
Neutrogena makeup whipes were the worst things I've ever put on my face. they were so dry. they practically didn't remove anything. the little bit of dampness burnt my eyes. and I broke out EVERYWHERE on my face afterwards. and I have never had an acne problem before. but it was horrible.
Love these videos because it helps us girls on a budget a better idea of what products to purchase. It's so refreshing to see a beauty blogger not just constantly praising every product and giving a honest opinion!
Yees! I hate the pat mcgrath highlighters! They are so over hyped and sooo over priced, i also think the Bush suck. The only thing i like is the balm, and maybe the highlighters stick.. The rest?: sucks. You should also not feel bad talking about a product, if it's a bad product you should be able to say that, not hold it in beacuse so many other people love it.
omg seriously! as soon as i seen your lip color, i scrolled to down to the description box only to see that you "can't talk about yet"! its such a pretty color!! cant wait to see what you come out with
I feel the SAME about the Nyx Lingerie collection that you do about ABH Naked and Pure Hollywood. My skin tone just doesn't look good with nudes like that! The Lingerie collection is SO dry and crusty
The formula is honestly horrible. It shows every crack on your lips and I was so disappointed because I wanted "Exotic" but I can't stand the feeling of super dry lips :(
I could tell those Pat McGraft highlighters we're a good buy! Glad I didn't fall for the hype! The Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer that everybody raves about didn't show up on me.I think it's for light skin tones only!! I had to return it!
Physicians Formula is made for light skin tones! I emailed them about making darker shades cus I'm a darker tan and they said they had no plans to make darker shades cus that's not their target audience. Never bought from them again since that day!
Those wet n wild ombre color icon blushes look like EXACT dupes for the MAC toledo collection blushes that came out a while ago.. I agree with your thoughts on them
+Brooke McAloon I believe the comment was meant as a compliment. Also, humans are, in fact, animals. Yes, Kathleen is queen (a compliment) but to someone else she might be something else (insert compliment)...
Garner micellar has some cancer causing agent in it. I've switched to the Neogen one instead. It has great natural ingredients and is a skincare product as well.
+Amy Clements Yeah but there's an actual article mentioning this product and some others so it's more serious. But hey, if you don't mind, it's your prerogative.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Physician's Formula Bronzer - it's the first one I ever bought from the brand and it honestly did nothing. And that shocking gold glitter in the middle - WTF! It also made me suspicious about any other PF products and I never understood your recommendations for some of their other products. Having heard your honest opinion in this one makes me reconsider trying other products from the range. So there: a negative review of this product may actually increase sales of other products from PF! Thanks for this!
A product that let me down a little was surprisingly Jaclyn Hill's new champagne collection face palette. Don't get me wrong, I love Jaclyn!! And the product was EXCELLENT quality, but I'm just too pale for it! I loved the eyeshadow palette though despite it not working out for everyone
I love these videos. they're informative and honest and you don't find that so much anymore. you don't beat around the bush and you aren't bashing any company. i also like that you give alternatives to the products. like since that one may not work, this one might. you are simply amazing at your job!
I tried the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and it looked AWFUL on me. It made my skin look patchy, dry, scaly, whatever you call it. Just awful. And it really upset me because so many RUclipsrs rave about it!
Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that! It sucks when people rave and it doesn't work for you. I got the foundation and it's amazing on me life changing. It sucks when not everything works the same for everyone ☹
Dude, $72? No product is worth that! Kathleen, YOU are awesome because you are honest when products don't live up to to those standards. F-ING THANK YOU
I know that you're busy or that you won't notice me because you have a lot of followers and a lot of people are trying to send you messages. I would be the happiest person if you are able to read this. It's okay if you don't reply and even if you just reply with "seen" my heart will be so happy so without further ado I'll go on with my message. (PS it will be all over the place and messy) Dear Kathleen, Hi to my favorite RUclipsr, my outlet, my beauty and life inspiration. I feel like I have a lot of things in common with you. Whenever I watch your videos especially the long get ready with me ones wherein you talk through and without voiceovers I literally feel like I am getting ready with my best friend. I am now in college and I'm really having a difficult time I don't know I just feel so lost. Whenever I can't handle the pressure anymore I would just go to YT and refresh your channel hoping there's a new one and if there isn't I would watch an old one especially katchats!
I love every single one of them! I feel like I've replayed them all twice or thrice already (please make more if you feel like it!) Early 2015 i got diagnosed with anxiety disorder. But long before that I can't exactly remember but I think it started in my early teen years that I've been depressed. I didn't really know it was serious I thought I just have a bad cough and during an exam suddenly I can't breathe and then I discovered when I visited a psychiatrist that those were panic attacks. I have medications and I take them daily. Words cannot express how grateful I am for you. I've been watching for a long time already (sorry if sometimes I flood with my comments!) and the moment I've watched your katchats about anxiety it literally made me cry my eyes out that when i went to school the next morning my professor asked me if I was okay lol.
That made me feel more connected to you especially because I know that you do understand my situation. Then I saw your tweet about your love for Selena Gomez and you said that we wouldn't understand. GURL I UNDERSTAND YOU 100%! I'm not even joking. I was obsessed with her ever since barney! (Loyal 😏) Last 2014 she was supposed to be here in the Philippines but she canceled because she was sick and I was so upset but you I know it happens. I had faith that she would be back and God answered my prayer!!!!!! She'll be here on July 31. I'm so excited I don't know what to do if I should make her a banner or buy her a gift or what outfit or make up look I should go for blablabla.
I'm also subscribed to your sister Ylette and I watched her vlog yesterday and I found out that you weren't able to watch the concert and I know that you love Selena so much and that you've bought tickets way before that but I completely understand you and I know your sister recorded it. I hope you feel better now. I always include you and your family in my prayers. Also!!! When I was little I told myself that I want to get married at the age of 18! (I'm 18 now and not gonna be married anytime soon) so when I found out that you are Danny got married you were 18 and I was so happy! So happy for you, genuinely happy.
I'm ALSO a beauty junkie!!! I've been a couple of make up tutorials but I never upload them it's just for me and my friends to laugh at when we're bored lmao. I would love to be a RUclipsr but I'm a premed student and I don't have much money yet. Hopefully in the next few years! 😉 I wanna be just like you (without being a copycat ofcourse) I love you're energy you give me such a positive vibe!

I love these videos because as much as I feel the youtubers I watch are honest about products, I feel some people are not as open to talk about the products they don't like. I like knowing what to stray away from so yes please continue these videos! 💕💕
Decided to sit somewhere else in my room for this video! Hahah hope you enjoy! Love you guys!
love youu!!
It is supposed to say Mars in the description because I thought the Laguna bronzer was from Nars?
+Naoko S typo lol
You make me excited about Mondays just because I get to see your videos! 😍 Your beauty room looks so pretty!!! Love it! Maybe we could get an updated beauty room tour? 😁 xoxox
You said on twitter that you would be doing an updated Makeup Collection. Just wondering when that will be up. And also I love you and have been obsessed with your videos for about 2 years!
Ps-the bruise on my arm is the aftermath of an IV! I was recently sedated at the dentist when I had to do a million things in my mouth lol.
omgosh I was just about to ask x
I figured it was the result of something medically related.
I buy the same eyeliner in the exact same color and it´s true it is HORRIBLE!! I thought i have a bad one but now i know am not the only one
Try La Roche Posay micellar water !!! it's very good for the skin and
takes off very well the face makeup ! It doesn't hurt eyes and works
very well with eyeliner and eyeshdow
My immediate question when you lifted your arm. I was like Kathleen who do we have to beat? Let a sista know lol
Kathleen is so real for doing this videos. One of the realist RUclipsrs out there
Agree
I like how even though Hourglass sent the primers to her she didn't suck up to them and just gave her honest opinion. Other RUclipsrs would rave about it even if they hated it.
Thank you!!!
YES! I couldn't agree more!
This is so true
SINCE you're doing so many of these videos now.....i would LOVE to see you put these products on and show us how "ohhhh honeyyyy" you look.....i think it'd be a hilarious spin to these sometimes awkward "disappointing products" videos.
..... What?
Allison M Chelsea Maharaj she should try on the disappointing products? In the video she said that one of the items made her look like "ohhh honeyyyyy"....it was an expression...
I agree with this, it would be interesting and listening to Kathleen's reactions would be so funny lol
Maybe but sometimes it's difficult to show the actual effect through a lense....so it may defeat the entire purpose
very true I would like to see her demo the ones she don't like would be awesome
Disappointing products videos are awesome. That way I don't waste my $$ on products that may also be disappointing to me. It gives me a frame of reference. However, there are times when the reason it disappoints you clues me in that it may work for me!
i feel you haha
i returned that highlight too, i was so disappointed with the colors. it showed up green on my face. for $72 nahhhhhhh they can have it back😂😂
Thank god I didn't buy them. Love both of y'all!
I did too! It was so unimpressive for $72!
THIS BACKGROUND IS SO AESTHETIC, love you to pieces
Thank you! Love you back!
You just made my entire life, thank you Xx
You don't need to keep saying " Please don't be offended". Its YOUR channel and YOUR opinion. If people are offended, Oh well. They don't need to watch you.
I love when you do these videos! I prefer to hear about products that didn't work vs products that did 🙈
I also have a beauty channel and I'd love if you guys could check it out! ♡
I just subscribed! Trying to get my channel back up to speed and would loved if you checked me out as well!
👍🏽👍🏽
You need to do a whole video called 'Dat's Espensive'... kind of like Jeffree Star's $70 Eyeliner or $200 foundation videos. Get yourself an espensive product and review it XD
This is a great idea omg!!!
That's what Tati from Glamlife Guru does ! Go subscribe to her ☺️
GENIUS my friend
like Tati's WTF
Good Idea. I don' t understand why prices are so be high. Do they have gold inside or a formula to be immortal? COME ON! hehhehe
I immediately went to the description to see whats on her lips and I AM SO EXCITED I HOPE ITLL BE OUT SOON
SAME OMG I JUST SAW IT
Ikr! me too! its soo pretty!
Can you do an updated makeup collection and room tour?
OMG yesssssss
yes please♡
yas
Yes!!
Please!!!
I love the background in this video. Also I love these types of videos because it helps to see not only what people love but also what people aren't loving.
And I LOOOOOVVEEE your nails! !!
Thank you KATHLEEN!!!!
Story time: I get really oddly excited when I meet someone with my name & I was at the casino in the Bahamas and the dealer was named Kathleen and I yelled OMG!!! That's my name too!!!! And she looked at me like I was crazy :/ lmao
Omg I get excited as well. I've only met a few other Kathleens. I'm always like omg I love I your name! ;)
+Kathleen Stanley I just wanted to say haiiii name twinz.
I hate that you have to emphasize that this is just your opinion so don't be mad! 😕 I wish this world was nicer.
same
same omg
SAME. Some people are so self-conscious, getting upset by everything.gosh
like they made the product. lol
Yeah, I think it's ridiculous that people have to state that. It's like, duh.
Girl you better announce that lip color soon I'm getting impatient!!
+Georgina Brights pretty sure its colourpop again if you check her twitter
+Georgina Brights I think she collabed with color pop for the lip color
Better than kylies lips color 😂
I neeeeeed it! If Kathleen collabs, I buy.
same girl!!!!
Yes keep doing disappointing product videos. Helps those on a budget not waste money on junky products. 🙂 thank you for takin one for the team 😄 👏🏻
I love that you're not afraid to voice your opinion!! You're so honest and never fake and that's why we trust you!
Also digging the new background, girl :)
Thank you!!!!!!!!
i am so happy i did not spend 72 on the Pat McGrath. love these types of videos, so helpful
Ayy no mija. Not gworth it putica
+KathleenLights LMFAO
At ulta they have dupes for both of those highlighters! You should check them out! They are the make up revolution strobe balms! They are very pretty! Only like $7 each
Yes the pat highlights didn't appeal to me at all! I'm so glad you were honest about them. I think the colours are awful
I think the colors would look amazing on a deep skin tone!!! But for me, it's a yellow stripe or a pink stripe. Not a good look
I tried those too! They despise me! Thx for your honest opinions!
+KathleenLights Oh I'm excited to hear you say this. In the video I was like ok I guess I won't get those. However this comment makes me think hmmm maybe I will try them, because I have medium to dark skin tone. They did look amazing on Desi Perkins, and she wears the same foundation colors I do.
I was super disappointed too! returned it in the end :(
in addition to just being duochrome shadows, the packaging is cheap for $70 and the brush that comes with it is just as cheap and ineffective. it's really disappointing!!
I love these types of videos - I'm always at war with myself when trying to buy cosmetic products and this helps a LOT! And I love that it shows how real and genuine you are... To review certain disappointing products from brands you've collaborated with - it shows how much you care about your subscribers and what you put your name on (in terms of recommendations) and that you won't settle for mediocre batches/products! I'll continue to buy from brands that you've mentioned here, but at least now I know which products to pass over. Thanks girl!
I really really find these videos helpful!! I absolutely LOVE all your videos! Your makeup collection is goals! You should do an updated makeup collection! I love you Kathleen!
yas i think shell do it when shes done unpacking haha im so excited
your makeup looks absolutely BANGING in this video omg i love 😍🎉
AGREE!
yaasss
I'm horrible lol when you said you have dry everything i was like i hope one thing isn't dry at least....lmao
Haha, I thought the same thing. 😳 I'm glad I wasn't the only one.
lol same here. shoutout to the dirty minds 😂
Same. I had that thought too.
I thought that too haha
LOL
Love these videos! And I'm loving the background here!
Same this background is awesome!!
I am surprised that you mentioned colourpop in a disappointing video considering how you have collaborated with them. Thank you for being open minded and honest enough to admit about products you don't like even in your favorite brands.
Kathleen that lipstick compliments your hair color soo well! You look stunning! Btw please keep doing "disappointing products" videos! Xx
Thank you so much!!
WHO ELSE WAS LOVING HER LIP COLOR AND CHECKED THE DESCRIPTION BAR AND SAW THIS?????????? ---->
Lips: Oh, I can't talk about that yet
and
Eyes: Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara, an eyeliner I can't talk about yet
*_______________* ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Me...😂😂😐
I did gurlllll. can't wait to find out
And what do you think of the eye part..!
Eyes: Kevyn Aucoin The Expert Mascara, an eyeliner I can't talk about yet
Eline van Driel you r ABSOLUTELY right … I cannot wait!!!!!!!! so excited!
OMG ME TOO
I love how absolutely honest you are with us. You aren't afraid to tell the truth even if you work for a company or have PR packages, you always tell us how you truly feel. Thanks for being so reliable and trustworthy! I wish everyone had the same integrity that you do! And on an unrelated note, I love your lipstick!!!!
I LOVE these kinds of videos more than monthly favorites, I could skip a monthly fave video but I will NEVER skip a disappointing video. I'm weird like that lol. Also recently I tried the born this way foundation from too faced and I loved it upon first application but I have combo skin and I got too oily too fast so I was disappointed by that.
I have combo dry skin would BTW foundation work for Me? I've got a sample but I'm nervous to try it lol
+eyerus yes try it! It worked wonderfully on the parts of my face that are more dry. The coverage and the longevity are great. It also didn't break me out. It's just me and my silly oily nose that are the problem 😂
KATHLEEN WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO UPDATE US ON HOW YOUR FOREO LUNA IS DOING AND ITS DUPE?! #anxiouslywaiting
girl, you read my mind! 😄
also anxiously-yet-patiently waiting
I love mine! It hasn't dramatically cleared up any acne but I feel like its taken away texture leaving my skin smoother. It's definitely more hygienic than the Clarisonic but I liked how the Clarisonic brush really scrubed the day off and you could see the makeup on the brush head as a result. I know you want Kathleen's opinion, but those are my two cents!
I bought the Foreo Luna Mini for $99 and I don't feel like I'm missing out on any of the features that the more expensive one has.
+Hillary Tracy I just bought the Foreo Luna 2 for normal skin and only have been using it for 2 days, no major difference except my skin is a lot smoother. Never had an acne problem. Thank you for giving me your opinion!!
Kathleen lights is legit my saviour because I have such dry skin on my face and body and dry haor! It's unreal, so ty Kathleen for being so helpful for me and other people who have dry skin! 💖💖💖💖
Hair*
Check out Allana Davison. She is bomb and has dry skin too. So funny. 💣😝😊
cool ty!
I love how she's always truthful when it comes to reviewing products. Even when she has collaborated with Colourpop and all these companies send her free products, she never holds back from being honest! love you kathleen xx
Your hair and eye colour compliments that lip colour AMAZING! You look so beautiful girl xxx
yes i agree, love u rahnee!
Thank you!!
You're so welcome! Btw just came to my realisation - i'm wearing your Ofra Liquid Lipstick in my recent video! Absolutely adore the colour x
Could you do a sweat proof heat proof summer makeup tutorial? and luv you girl, you slay
eyeliner and lips 👀👀👀
;)
+KathleenLights went to go look in your description box immediately to see what your lip color was because it immediately caught my eye and now I'm super excited to see what you're working on!!
exactly and she said she cant talk about it 😢😢😢
+Ashley Orly SAME
🔎🔎🔎 was just about to comment on that cause girl those lips 💛💛💛
I love how honest you are! Companies send you stuff and yet you're 100% honest about it. I hate it when youtubers start out small and very honest and the second they get that package they love everything and nothing is bad. So thank you!
Can you please do a Rihanna make up tutorial from the Calvin Harris music video😊 she looks beautiful
Please like this so she can see it 😊😬
I agree w/ you 100% about the packaging !!!! I wish it was nicer as well.
Yeah :/
I can't stop staring at Porter, or say his name properly anymore after watching your videos for so long!!
PS....THE BLOOPERS KILLED ME! hahahaa
PORTAH lmao
You are so rare.You gave honest reviews that you were sent free, and even products you're sponsored by! So many gurus lie out there ass if it was sent or sponsored. Props to you, respect.
Thank you for sharing the products that disappointed you, it's cool seeing what doesn't work on you and then what may work on myself or what we may both agree on 🙂 also loving your lip color✨
Your hair is so majestic in this video omg
Also I've noticed that the only people saying they love the Pat McGrath highlighters got sent them for free 👀👀👀
Do you know her hair color? Like the name.
leon hot water I don't unfortunately
I love watching these!💗
Your makeup looks so good Kathleen!😍
+Gianna Christine her makeup is always on point😭
Yay!
keep filming these videos please!!!! it really helps to hear your opinion on products that I consider buying and hear about. i love your channel because you balance enough tutorial videos with kat chats, chatty get readys, room tours/makeup stash videos, and videos like these!! love you kathleen keep doing you
The entire video I was staring at your lips and reading comments to figure out what it is... To no avail.. I must be patient.
look in description
+x TW x TVD x it's not in the description, she wrote that she can't talk about it yet
I'm guessing its another colour she's doing with Ofra, as she's not aloud to discuss it yet.
She just revealed it on snapchat! It's a lippie she's launching with colourpop!
She just announced the details on SC! It's a ultra satin lippie that she did w colourpop called point zero, which will launch on July 12
Are my eyes going or you're really sporting the side-parted hair again?! I've always thought you look extra beautiful when you style your hair like that back in the days 😍
*back in the old days
I agree with you. Her hair looks a lot fuller with the side part.
yasss she looks super pretty! love how she experiments with her hair parts
Hahahaha I always used to part my hair like this!! Hahahah
+KathleenLights Serena Vanderwoodsen with that side part! Slay!
I get so intrigued by a product when you show it then I remember it's a disappointing products video LOL!
Yas girl I love your honesty!!! So many respected RUclipsrs have talked about the Pat McGrath highlighters and most haven't addressed it's most obvious feature, the cheap packaging.
Please do a hit pan/most used product video~Who's with me?🙋🏻
Have you tried the garnier micellar waters? They don't hurt my eyes at all.
I love them!! The one with the blue top is my favorite!
I use the yelow one and I love it!
They've just got taking out of every shop in my country, they have a lot of bad chemicals in them, so I wouldnt recommend, many people love them, but they're kinda toxic
+Isabel Rigenstrup yeah you live in Canada? Nicole from young wild and polish said its has PHMB in it. Def not repurchasing just in case!
+LissyMonster no I'm from Denmark actually! :)
I lobe that lipcolor!!! can't wait for you to tell us about it.
Also, your dog looks so cute sleeping in the background totally chillin as you were filming 😂
love*
Always love your bloopers. Kudos for being public about products you don't like even when it comes to brands you've collaborated with. I personally appreciate these videos because, while our preferences vary, it can save some viewers money and it also informs brands on possible improvements with future products.
I just bought that Physicians formular bronzer day before yesterday and the damn thing didn't show up on me either. So it'll be going back... Butter bronzer looked like it'd be too light on me...
I wish PF would come out with another butter bronzer for deeper skin!
+KathleenLights me too. 😒 I keep hearing wonderful things about PF but they don't cater to us brown girls. 😑
+Jess G. I feel this. I'm an NC40 and I still can't use PF Bronzers.
I saw that butter bronzer (as raved by Kathleen) and it looked gorgeous but if I put it on, u'd think I was trying to brightening my cheeks, never mind darken them. They need to get it together & cater to us brown girls as u said Jess G.
+Sammy S :( that sucks, it's seriously my favorite bronzer ever.
Omg your hair and makeup are so pretty ! ❤️❤️❤️
Ikr ! But her makeup look pretty in every video
Thank you!
she looks extra blonde ryt
Yesss please do a tutorial!!
This lipstick color looks so good on you
And I love you keep going !
i looove it hahah
ALSO. I just want to say how much I appreciate you for being so honest about the products you don't like. It seems like some RUclipsrs want to just praise the big brands who send them PR, whether they like them or not. But I love how honest you are about products, whether it's Giorgio Armani or Wet and Wild.... You are ALWAYS 100% real with us and that's why I follow you!!! Xoxo
Hand's up if you come to see the lipstick that she wear here after her post in snap ✋
✋
✋
✋
🙋
✋🏻
when you pulled out the pat McGrath highlighter I THOUGHT IT WAS ELF. 😂😂😂
I love the backgroud in this video! 😍
Thank you!
Same 😍
Love how Porter just chilling in the background . ❤️
i enjoy these so i know what not to buy! haha
me too hahaha
I enjoy these better than favorites videos, seems more realistic
As this vid was loading all I could think was "HER LIPS, WHATS OB HER LIPSSS???!!" I OPEN THE DESCRIPTIO AND-KATHLEEN
I'm waiting on the suprise
"Loose lips sink ships" and all, but I can't wait for the reveal! So pretty. (Shouldn't get my hopes up, though. They always look different [read: better] on K-Lights.)
I clicked the video because I wanted to find the lip color
Could you PLEASE do another "My Makeup Stash" with all types of eyeliners? I love the liners you've used in previous videos, but I would love to see how they compare and which ones you love the most. NEVER stop making videos. You're my number one go-to for makeup advice.
'OH I CANT TALK ABOUT THAT YET." EXCUSE ME GIRLLLLL??????? DONT PLAY NO GAMES
Lmao!
I find that the garnier micellar water does sting my eyes too, but only I have excessive water on the cotton pad I'm using. If I take it off it works great. Personally I love the Garnier micellar water.
But only if*
love that micellar water too especially the one with the blue cap
I was caught between getting that one and the original one. How effective is it at taking off waterproof makeup if you don't mind me asking? :)
Not bad but I find coconut oil much more effective. I rub the oil and then rince it with the micellar water
I've heard great things about using coconut oil for tough makeup. I might just try that next. I'm currently using baby oil and it works well but I'm not to fond of the scent lol thanks for the reply!
I didn't like those wet n wild blushes. I gave them to my 10 year old to play with. They don't show up and see gone in 5 minutes. I didn't like the Sephora eyeliner. Returned! I didn't even order the Pat McGrath. $72! I'm glad I didn't. I'll spend $72, but not on that. I like these videos. Very informative.
I see we have more or less the same opinions!! Hahaha
Yes! I've had a lot of disappointing products lately too. Usually they don't work for my skin type or are better suited to someone your age (I'm old enough to be your mom). Still looking for my HG foundation and for a liner that will stay in my waterline.
I'm absolutely in love with the MUFE Ultra HD Foundation. It's just dewy enough but not to make me look oily. It smells great and feels great on my skin and the color is an exact perfect match. Evens out my skin tone and covers blemishes without it feeling heavy. I barely need concealer with it. I could go on for days about that foundation and the color selection is incredible. I was kinda upset that i fell in love with a $42 foundation, because the Sephora worker did a blind test on me with that one and a Clinique one, but it ended up being worth it in the long run for me personally. I'm sure you've tried it though.
You are so brave for posting these kinds of videos, and especially the part about the Pat McGrath highlighters! This is why I love your channel cause you're always honest and don't care if the brand is high end or not, you never lie. Love you and keep up the amazing work!
The circle part of your shirt freaked me out because I thought I cracked my phone
😂😂
LMFAAAAOOOO
hey girl have you ever tried taking fish oil? that's what we give my daughter for her dry skin in the winter. the idea is to be moisturized from the inside out
I assume that it worked well..? I have the same issue that she was talking about. So frustrating :-/
+tanhome7 yep! my daughter gets pretty bad eczema on the winter and doing the fish oil really keeps it at bay
+Kari Anne D do u jus swallow the fish oil? or do u break open and rub the oil??
+Jay Bugg my daughter actually eats extremely well thank you. nutrition is something I have a high interest in and give it a very large emphasis. it is genetics as my husband gets the same thing he always gets eczema in the winter. and supplementing with fish oil during the cold dry months definitely helped. if I missed a day or two she would start getting eczema spots. she doesn't get anything now that it's the warmer months.
to everyone else who asked yes, she swallows the fish oil so she gets moisturized from the inside out. she sees a naturopathic pediatrician. aka her doctor focuses on natural cures rather than harmful creams or prescriptions. if you always have dry skin you will always need to take the fish oil (if that is helping). if you stop than your dry skin will come back. it's like putting lotion on your insides
erm... Omega 3s reduce inflammation in the body, which is often auto-immune related. Eczema and dry skin are often presentations of auto-immune related inflammation and reactions in the body. Fish oil reduces inflammation which in turn helps with eczema and dry skin. It's not lotion for your insides, the oil is not lubricating you. It's an anti-inflammatory.
Have you ever used Mac's Face and Body foundation? I've never tried it, but I visited the Elf store in Manhattan (I'm always there lol) and they have a a new foundation serum. The woman at checkout told me that they got their inspiration from Mac to create that. I've been using it and I like it! But I've never really used anything as liquified as that so I don't have anything to compare it to. I was wondering if you've tried the Foundation serum from Elf or if you could? I'd love to know if you think it's similar to high end ones or if I should splurge! Xoxo
I really like these videos! It's almost like a friendly hint of "buyer beware" cause you know we ain't got time nor money to be wasting on makeup that sucks! Thanks Kathleen, you da best!
Eyerytime i want to go makeup shopping i have to watch kathleens videos of her favorite products that she doesn't like. I really trust her opinion we both have dry and fair skin
I agree with the pat mcgrath i think it's overpriced
Neutrogena makeup whipes were the worst things I've ever put on my face. they were so dry. they practically didn't remove anything. the little bit of dampness burnt my eyes. and I broke out EVERYWHERE on my face afterwards. and I have never had an acne problem before. but it was horrible.
I break out anything those things hit my face
+Jennifer Gaynor I normally use Aveeno and I wanted to change it up.. never again!!!
I like the Garnier micro water. it's good for me
+Jennifer Gaynor I use garnier for everything else. like I have super curly hair so I use a lot of there products.
Yes!! They make my eyes BURN. Try the clean & clear night relaxing wipes because they're extremely cool and calm to the eyes!
YOUR LIP COLOR IM IN LOVE
Love you!
Thank you! Love you back!
It's her collab(;
+kyla schuster with who?!?
+Natalia Montez she's doing another collab with colourpop
Love these videos because it helps us girls on a budget a better idea of what products to purchase. It's so refreshing to see a beauty blogger not just constantly praising every product and giving a honest opinion!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️that background💕💕💕💕💕
Thank you!
Y'all monster by colourpop is $8 and the same color as the pat McGrath pink highlighter
Monster is lifeeee
wow thank you for this comment!!
Monster is very blue lavender and the Skin Fetish us more pinkish rosy
Yees! I hate the pat mcgrath highlighters! They are so over hyped and sooo over priced, i also think the Bush suck. The only thing i like is the balm, and maybe the highlighters stick.. The rest?: sucks. You should also not feel bad talking about a product, if it's a bad product you should be able to say that, not hold it in beacuse so many other people love it.
same I never got the hype I mean drugstore has balm highlighters too, and the highlighter itself seemed chalky
At ulta, they have dupes for the pat McGrath highlighters! The dupes are Make up revolution strobe balms! They are bigger and creamier!
omg seriously! as soon as i seen your lip color, i scrolled to down to the description box only to see that you "can't talk about yet"! its such a pretty color!! cant wait to see what you come out with
I feel the SAME about the Nyx Lingerie collection that you do about ABH Naked and Pure Hollywood. My skin tone just doesn't look good with nudes like that! The Lingerie collection is SO dry and crusty
The formula is honestly horrible. It shows every crack on your lips and I was so disappointed because I wanted "Exotic" but I can't stand the feeling of super dry lips :(
I had the same experience with the NYX lingerie 😩
I agree the NYX lingerie was not a good formula and it got all gross on the inner lip after like 30 minutes!
I have two shades from the nyx lingerie line and I love them! :( maybe it's certain shades? But I guess it defers person to person
+Paula B Really? What shades do you have? Because mine were super patchy and made my lips look crusty 😕 but I love the NYX liquid suedes
FIRST THOUGHT: I NEED THIS LIP COLOR!!!! Damn it, Kathleen!
;)
+KathleenLights rewatching this, "I like the eyeliner, let's see what it is" ...you're killing me
I could tell those Pat McGraft highlighters we're a good buy! Glad I didn't fall for the hype! The Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer that everybody raves about didn't show up on me.I think it's for light skin tones only!! I had to return it!
Met to to say the highlighters weren't a good buy!
Physicians Formula is made for light skin tones! I emailed them about making darker shades cus I'm a darker tan and they said they had no plans to make darker shades cus that's not their target audience. Never bought from them again since that day!
that's fucked up, i'm lighter skinned but i will not be buying from them again
thats fucked up, sorry to hear that you had to experience that.
Samme!! I saw that kathleen always raves about them but it wad basically a face powder
Those wet n wild ombre color icon blushes look like EXACT dupes for the MAC toledo collection blushes that came out a while ago.. I agree with your thoughts on them
You are my spirit animal
No. She is not an animal. She is queen.
Lmao. Thanks!!
+KathleenLights ❤️❤️
+Brooke McAloon I believe the comment was meant as a compliment. Also, humans are, in fact, animals. Yes, Kathleen is queen (a compliment) but to someone else she might be something else (insert compliment)...
+Ilka Palmer but were all animals so that would mean she was just ordinary, im saying that she is a fricken queen 💁🏼👑😂
What us that lipstick, girl? Looks like pillowtalk to me. Stunning as alway 💕 much love from the Philippines
Always*
in the description she said that she can't discuss it yet. i am hoping that it's a new colorpop liquid lipstick collab!!
Probably an up and coming collab with colourpop based of what she wrote in the description 🙆🏼
IT'S REALLY PRETTY! Exciting 💕
I had thought it was pillow talk too!
havent you tried the garnier makeup remover? its an exact dupe to bioderma in my opinion!
What color is the tube? I really wanna get it I've heard good things about it
she has tried the micella water and she doesn't like it as much as the bio derma
Garner micellar has some cancer causing agent in it. I've switched to the Neogen one instead. It has great natural ingredients and is a skincare product as well.
Lily G everything 'causes cancer' these days though
+Amy Clements Yeah but there's an actual article mentioning this product and some others so it's more serious. But hey, if you don't mind, it's your prerogative.
I'm so glad you mentioned the Physician's Formula Bronzer - it's the first one I ever bought from the brand and it honestly did nothing. And that shocking gold glitter in the middle - WTF! It also made me suspicious about any other PF products and I never understood your recommendations for some of their other products. Having heard your honest opinion in this one makes me reconsider trying other products from the range. So there: a negative review of this product may actually increase sales of other products from PF! Thanks for this!
A product that let me down a little was surprisingly Jaclyn Hill's new champagne collection face palette. Don't get me wrong, I love Jaclyn!! And the product was EXCELLENT quality, but I'm just too pale for it! I loved the eyeshadow palette though despite it not working out for everyone
Amie Burnell I'm way too pale to wear champagne pop as my highlight:(
did anyone else notice the sleeping dog at 8:00 ? After I saw him I couldn't look at Kat s/he's so cute!!
...for some reason I just decided you'd look really cool with a full sleeve of tattoos 😂
I love these videos. they're informative and honest and you don't find that so much anymore. you don't beat around the bush and you aren't bashing any company. i also like that you give alternatives to the products. like since that one may not work, this one might. you are simply amazing at your job!
I tried the Too Faced Born This Way Foundation and it looked AWFUL on me. It made my skin look patchy, dry, scaly, whatever you call it. Just awful. And it really upset me because so many RUclipsrs rave about it!
Which shade did you buy?
Ugh I'm so sorry to hear that! It sucks when people rave and it doesn't work for you. I got the foundation and it's amazing on me life changing. It sucks when not everything works the same for everyone ☹
SAME! I thought I was the only one...I was so excited to try it and it looked so bad on my skin
Right? So many people rave about the finish... while I'm over here looking like a dinosaur with it. Lmfao
eyerus The lightest one, Snow I think?
Never been so early! Notification squad, where y'all at?
No.
I loooooooove these types of videos. ;)
Dude, $72? No product is worth that! Kathleen, YOU are awesome because you are honest when products don't live up to to those standards. F-ING THANK YOU
I know that you're busy or that you won't notice me because you have a lot of followers and a lot of people are trying to send you messages. I would be the happiest person if you are able to read this. It's okay if you don't reply and even if you just reply with "seen" my heart will be so happy so without further ado I'll go on with my message. (PS it will be all over the place and messy)
Dear Kathleen,
Hi to my favorite RUclipsr, my outlet, my beauty and life inspiration. I feel like I have a lot of things in common with you. Whenever I watch your videos especially the long get ready with me ones wherein you talk through and without voiceovers I literally feel like I am getting ready with my best friend. I am now in college and I'm really having a difficult time I don't know I just feel so lost. Whenever I can't handle the pressure anymore I would just go to YT and refresh your channel hoping there's a new one and if there isn't I would watch an old one especially katchats!
I love every single one of them! I feel like I've replayed them all twice or thrice already (please make more if you feel like it!) Early 2015 i got diagnosed with anxiety disorder. But long before that I can't exactly remember but I think it started in my early teen years that I've been depressed. I didn't really know it was serious I thought I just have a bad cough and during an exam suddenly I can't breathe and then I discovered when I visited a psychiatrist that those were panic attacks. I have medications and I take them daily. Words cannot express how grateful I am for you. I've been watching for a long time already (sorry if sometimes I flood with my comments!) and the moment I've watched your katchats about anxiety it literally made me cry my eyes out that when i went to school the next morning my professor asked me if I was okay lol.
That made me feel more connected to you especially because I know that you do understand my situation. Then I saw your tweet about your love for Selena Gomez and you said that we wouldn't understand. GURL I UNDERSTAND YOU 100%! I'm not even joking. I was obsessed with her ever since barney! (Loyal 😏) Last 2014 she was supposed to be here in the Philippines but she canceled because she was sick and I was so upset but you I know it happens. I had faith that she would be back and God answered my prayer!!!!!! She'll be here on July 31. I'm so excited I don't know what to do if I should make her a banner or buy her a gift or what outfit or make up look I should go for blablabla.
I'm also subscribed to your sister Ylette and I watched her vlog yesterday and I found out that you weren't able to watch the concert and I know that you love Selena so much and that you've bought tickets way before that but I completely understand you and I know your sister recorded it. I hope you feel better now. I always include you and your family in my prayers.
Also!!! When I was little I told myself that I want to get married at the age of 18! (I'm 18 now and not gonna be married anytime soon) so when I found out that you are Danny got married you were 18 and I was so happy! So happy for you, genuinely happy.
I'm ALSO a beauty junkie!!! I've been a couple of make up tutorials but I never upload them it's just for me and my friends to laugh at when we're bored lmao. I would love to be a RUclipsr but I'm a premed student and I don't have much money yet. Hopefully in the next few years! 😉 I wanna be just like you (without being a copycat ofcourse) I love you're energy you give me such a positive vibe!

Came here from snapchat just to see the lipstick on you lol
LMAO "this bronzer doesn't even show up on my skin" legit my life as a woman of color, amirite ladies?
I love these videos because as much as I feel the youtubers I watch are honest about products, I feel some people are not as open to talk about the products they don't like. I like knowing what to stray away from so yes please continue these videos! 💕💕
