I trust you 100%! I have stopped following influencers who don’t disclose that they are best friends with the creator of the product they’re recommending…. or you can tell they’re constantly pushing a line and it goes past just their love of a product. I never believed you were doing anything like that
Yes, we buy ourselves expensive things as a treat, then don't use them, or rarely.... but when my mum passed and I threw away bucket-loads of skincare and make-up....I thought, she should have used them all instead of just special occasions, so that's what I try to do now....have a smaller collection of good stuff (not all high end, as there are some good drugstore items that are better than high end IMO..) and I use it all. ❤❤❤
We don't mind you making mistakes, or changing your mind (and sometimes they do change the formulas on us).... but at least you do updates....but on top of that, you are also confirming that the climate in the areas we live, makes a difference!!, I know I use different make-up in Summer than I do in Winter.... and that sometimes products I've used, suddenly don't agree with my skin, or stop blending on my skin as nicely, and I think that we also have changes in our skin...I've gone from very oily, to dry...so lots of stuff I've loved, I've thrown out and replaced, because I need new formula to suit my 'now' skin.... thanks again for your reviews...❤❤
I thought I was crazy because I loved the Too Faced Fluff & Hold Laminating Brow Wax and now I feel like you - it leaves huge chunks on my brows. They must have changed the formula.
That’s so weird! The Too Faced brow wax holds my stubbborn eyebrows in place like no other. And unless I’m almost out of it or it starts to get dry will it leave white residue but that hardly ever happens. I love it!!! I’m scared of trying other products that I’ve spent my money and not worked at all.
I loved it, too, but I find that after maybe a month of being opened, it becomes dandruff city. I think it’s just the formula drying out in the tube, but I may be wrong. I find many of these types of brow setters do this a bit too quickly for the price. The one that has lasted me the most is the Refy one.
I think something to keep in mind that as we start to get older, our skin changes and what we once found that agreed on our face may not be the case as we gradually age. As I’m approaching my mid 30s, I’m finding that I’ve had to change up my routine to suit my aging skin changes, particularly around the eyes. I’m also finding that not all blinding highlighters are working with my skin. I used to be a fan of Ofra highlighters, but I’ve noticed that since it’s such a blinding formula, too much pigmentation emphasizes my texture. I end up mixing an hourglass highlight with it to tone down the pigmentation which seems to help. I’m probably gonna have to sort through my collection and declutter stuff that just doesn’t agree with my skin anymore.
I agree, I'm 35 and my skin has gotten much more dry. It happened so quick lol I'm going through a bunch of skincare and makeup now to give to my sister, whose 10 years younger
I also have dry and mature skin and if I wear face base three days in a row it breaks me out in tiny, satisfying to pop zits in the weirdest places. So there must be a specific ingredient that does this for some people.
I love the Bobbi Brown Vit E Face Base, I love the way it feels and smells. It's A+ and I use it every single day. Yes it's a great prep I don't have to use primer when I use it. Everyone over 30 try this! It's amazing.
That is a crazy thing to me : that of all the beauty content creators it is You who’s been accused of lying ☺️😏… of all the creators You are one of the most HONEST and HARD WORKING ones!
I FEEL your pain on the brow wax from TF. It was my holy grail and I recommended it so many times in sooo many videos. 🤦🏼♀️ I feel embarrassed too. What happened to it? I got a new tube this fall and its not the same! And now it seems like its being discontinued because it went on sale at Sephora/Ulta and I can't find it in store anymore. If anyone knows of a brow gel with really good hold, let me know!
I also need to know! This is the ONLY product that works for me!!! Has only flaked once because it was getting old and dry. I need another recommendation. I’ve purchased all the other ones and none hold and keep the hold.
I can't speak to all of the Patrick Ta duos, but Still At The Club is the closest formula dupe of Pat's Astral and Blitz formulas. I actually prefer the top shade of Patrick Ta to Pat's Astral formula since it has more of a base and finer glitter. I imagine if Pat came out with a duo of special shades. I think people wouldn't have had a problem dropping $40 something on them. That said, I think the biggest issue is Patrick Ta did not make it clear that there were multiple formulas. They definitely could have marketed them better. Also, the Bobbi Brown face base also breaks me out terribly. I gave it to my mom and she absolutely loves it.
@@addieevans08 why do you think that , when she sees thousands of makeup products in a year, she also can get tired of it, be thankful she all reviews them for is please?
@@addieevans08 yes, i saw the whole video, i love Morgan's Channel, for years, and that will not change: Morgan is ALWAYS honest! She did not lie about these products, she changed her opinon, simple. We all do that, when we get a little bit older, or when a formula has been changed, or when we move to an area with another climate, don't we? I'm 54 now, for instance, when my eyes got more sensitive, i decluttered most of my bigger sort of Pat McGrath type of palettes because i cannot handle the formula anymore, that was only 2 years ago that i did that. We, and only we as followers/consumers have the full responsibility for what we purchase. And Morgan says sorry. She says sorry my opinion has changed. I can follow her mind, when she reviews so much makeup for us in a year. But you may have your own opinion, of course. 😘
I bought the Too Faced Fluff and Hold at your recommendation and noticed it was super flaky after one month of use….but I got an epiphany while watching this video…I ran down to my vanity and added Duraline and it’s good as new! If you insist on forcing yourself to use it…try adding the Duraline at least!
Lucky yall, I’m 43 with the oil production of a teenaged boy🤣🤣🤣🤣. I have been on accutane and it cured the acne and cut the oil production down but still not a balanced face😂😂😂.
We reserve the right to change our mind! xoxoxo thanks for this video! You put effort into making it, into declaring your truth! And we're here for it honey!
The maybelline tattoo eye stix are terrible but Nikki la rose recommended that so you’re good 😂 i feel the same about the essence mascara. It’s nice but i hate the flaking
I appreciate you doing this video as an influencer! Honestly thank you. You’re human and allowed to change your opinions of products. Sometimes things start off so good and brand new but we try and try and try to make things work and finally realize certain things are trash
Love love this series! I bought the makeup forever lipliners and I agree no one mentioned how they don’t last! I bought them and used them and then gave them away to my mom because she doesn’t mind that they don’t last…but I prefer the long lasting version
I only have the “still at the club” duo by Patrick Ta, and the more glittery one in there does have quite a bit of fall out, I found. I was a bit taken aback when, after maybe 30 minutes of applying, I realised I had glitter flecks sprinkling my undereye area. I think it’s, as it settled down, the friction of blinking making the glitters jump out of place. And I have oily lids… I can make it work, of course, with a bit of glitter glue, extra care and all, but it defeats the “one and done” “effortless glam”, “slap it on with your fingers and run out the door” vibes for me 😂 It drags it down to the level of plenty of my other very glitzy shadows that have the same effect. It’s still a very nice formula, I don’t regret buying it, and I understand how the ingredients and sourcing can amp up the price (along with the brand positioning altogether) but for the user-unfriendliness, it dampens the “luxury” feel for me😂
I appreciate you for making this video, I used to work in the beauty industry and I would go through phases of going from extreme like to extreme dislike on a product. Now that I’m old as shit I hate everything and anything I put on my skin, I wish I had listened to my mature clients when they said one day you wake up old and everything sucks and that’s basically your life moving forward.
I have tried a few of the ELF camo blushes… they look different depending on what foundation I’m wearing. They can get patchy on my self setting foundations; they look better on my foundations that are more water based.
@Ivvl11005 Omga. Those Elf putty blush is horrible, and oily. Idk why ppl said it was matte and you have to move fast to blend. It never matte down on me. I tried both versions.
I had a little splurge on myself this year. I gave myself $50 and even with the sale prices…the ND palette was out of my price range. And truth be told, I NEVER use ALL of the colors in a large palette. The PT one? I use constantly and feels so gorgeous❤
I LOVE Bobbi Brown base. I have sensitive skin, extremely acne prone and oily to top it off. This product works amazingly well for me. Love it and have used it for years!!
Thanks Morgan!!! For the deo that smells, sometimes the Deo smell can change because unfortunately, with the years, even if you still are super young, the skin pH can change and make a product smell bad on you.
Yesss Morgan!! I looove that new fenty beauty highlighter formula it’s stunning i have 3 shades! This is why i love your channel among other things. I nvr comment cuz im kinda shy but i love your channel and expertise i wait for your reviews!
Loved this video! You come across so genuine and I have even thought myself, I bet she has turned down deals because she is not a sell out ! You are pretty much the only influencer I would take advice from !
I refuse to buy patrick ta makeup, his quality control is way too questionable and charging "luxury" prices when he and his brand doesn't have that kind of reputation or legacy yet
He uses a lot of slurry formulas and in all fairness to him those specific products are expensive from the lab so the cost is carried over to the consumer obviously. When the raw matierals are expensive no matter how poorly they are mixed together the cost is still expensive for a sub par performing product. Slurry powders are by far superior normally. He must add something in that ruins some in his brand.
I give you a ton of credit for going on and saying You either changed your mind or was wrong. Your human!!!! That’s what makes you someone I like to watch, recommend and trust. Thanks for the clarification on these products.
I love that you do this kind of content. I was ride or die for the essence mascara until I noticed it flaking too much. It still is the best for making me look like I actually have lashes, but.... Have a very Merry Christmas Morgan!!! XO
I’ve been following you since 2021and I’ve always trust your reviews Morgan I have some products that you recommend that i absolutely love I can’t wait to see what you try next for 2025
I always thought MAC's Graphblack eye liner lasted all day on the waterline. Brought a backup only to discover it fades! If I had a nickel for every time I changed my mind about a product after multiple uses I would be rich! Thanks for the updates!
one day I love something and another I don't, it happens all the time :) my favourite products are never mentioned, I know that I have my own style and never buy based on influencers' recommendations, I just like to see what's happening in the beauty industry and observe trends even though I don't follow them per se.
Ahhh finally someone agrees. I think they changed the formula of the too faced brow gel. I loved it so much when I first opened the tube but after like 2 uses it’s so bad now. Idk what happened. It really was good at first.
Girl I sweat a lot And I'm an at home mom secret clinical is a game changer it lasts 2 days but I always put it on 2xs a day! Thank you so much for your honesty and being open about how your opinions have changed! You are truly one of a kind! Love watching you! Xoxo❤
Thanks for your honesty as always! 💛 It’s funny I often change my mind about products too, simply from trying them again in the harsh dry winter versus humid summer. I have different makeup that I love on my skin in summer and winter. Don’t worry, it happens to all of us! But good to know about about the flaky products…sometimes brands do change formulas and don’t tell us
You are one of the few influencers whose reviews I trust, as I like the way you are super honest and not afraid to say a product is rubbish and why. ELF released some new shades in their liquid blush and I like the look of the lilac one, so I do want to try it, especially as ELF is one of the better drugstore brands and the high end ones like Saie and Rare beauty are expensive. The Bobbi brown face base is full of crap, like but loads of fragrance and also some essential oils and minorly comedogenic ingredients, so maybe your skin reacted to that and broke out. I found that it was waaaay to thick like a balm, I can't imagine it being good for acne prone skin at all
I feel like it’s normal for every make up lover to get something and either love it or hate it and then it completely switches. That’s what happened with me sooo many times. Just recently tried a foundation I hated, tried it again now it’s my #1 favorite
Something that I changed my mind on was the Lancôme Tient Idole concealer. I wore it for 2 years and LOVED it & then one day woke up and hate it 😅 🤷🏻♀️ unfortunately I had back ups-still do actually because I’m not wearing them. Onto Haus Labs now and looooove ❤
Charlotte had turned me onto the HUDA fulfill to concealer a couple years ago. It was one of her favorites, actually her number one for a couple of years…. I also like it… It’s not too thick. It’s not too thin. It just looks smooth and nice. I think what happens is that we have so much make up …. I open my concealer drawer and there’s 30 concealers. I’m always bouncing around so I think we forget if it rolls to the back of the drawer it’s not something you’re grabbing for… I have not tried the foundation and I’m not going to. I promised myself. I’m not buying yet another foundation until I get what I have at least halfway down the bottle…. Again, I probably have 20 and that’s just liquid foundations. Never mind the sticks and the powders, the tinted moisturizer is the BB creams the Cc creams. It just goes on and on.😬 It’s just so hard to resist and there’s so much that gets pushes out more than ever before these last couple of years that it’s killing our pocketbook …. Yet being a girl is so much fun.❤
Oh no!!! Not the Bobbi Brown face base! Lol. I'm sorry it breaks you out. I LOVE it. I've actually just started using it again all over the face since the weather has gotten colder and it is amazing how much softer my face because of it when I'm taking off my makeup at the end of the day.
I tried the Bobbi Brown in like 2016 when everyone raved about it back then. I was a teenager and I didn't have much money, so I (thankfully) got the mini version since I couldn't afford the large version. I used it a very few amount of times before I had to admit to myself that it broke me out. I never heard anybody else saying that it broke them out since, so I've been tempted to try it again recently just in case it wasn't actually that product. But now you have confirmed that little teenage me wasn't crazy, and I will not be wasting my money on it again loool.
Omga! I love Huda foundations. They stay on my oily skin so well! I think better than ESTEE LAUDER. The concealer is FULL COVERAGE. I put tiny dots and that's it. Will last forever. I use Urban Decay setting powder that is water proof on top!
I like the concept of this video With time our opinions can change it's totally okay 😊 PS : I just don't agree about the Patrick Ta eyeshadow price. Too Faced charges $30 for one shadow, UD around $24. Singles are around these prices (excluding elf, colourpop, etc). So I'm not upset about paying $42 for 2 shadows in such a beautiful packaging 😁
I would never hold it against you if you recommended something that didn’t work for me. I know that your skin and my skin are not exactly the same, and that you’re so thorough in your recommendations that I totally trust you even though our skin types aren’t even exact!! I think you’re one of the most honest reviewers out there and I really appreciate all you do! PS- face base ALWAYS makes me break out too. I think it’s the vitamin E that ingredient usually is a culprit for me (it’s also in bio oil)
A secret to making weak deodorants work: use an alcohol wipe on your pits (like you’d get at a drugstore; they’re cheap), let dry, then use some glycolic acid (Inkey List or Ordinary now make a stick form but the liquid works too). If you’re really prone to stink then use a non-scented strong deodorant like Lume, give it a moment, then apply the good smelling one, otherwise you can go right to the good smelling one. It sounds like a lot of work but it’s really quick and effective and lasts
@ glycolic acid is pretty cheap, plus it works well to get rid of discoloration, but if you don’t mind the initial smell of vinegar it can be used instead for sure. It does fade quickly!
I don’t feel or think that you’ve been lying to us. Our skin changes all the time. From day to day - from what we’ve been eating, from what time in the month it is, from weather conditions…. And let’s not forget that we age and so does our skin. 💕
even though this video exists, you are still by far a reputable and great makeup reviewer :) Don’t beat yourself up too much! You’ve helped me grow a makeup routine that I’m very happy about.
Chica oil-free moisturizers for those with acne ! Like clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is a gel whipped cream that goes on feeling much like lotion but a thinner consistency. Game changing information for those with acne prone skin. Also there is a bunch of makeup out there that is also oil free starting with Clinique i do believe all of their complexion products while pricey are so worth the money to me knowing there wont be one big breakouts aka known as my face.! Now i see moisturizers like these popping up under all kinds of different brand names so im sure there must be products out there that ate comparable at a lower price point... so this is my gift to those girlies who dont know what it is about their skincare and/or makeup thats breaking them out, its probably because the products youre wearing are containing at least one oil on its ingredients liist! Likely if theres one then that product probably has a handfull of different types of oil on the list of ingredients. Happy Holidays everyone!!
I remember hearing you say you're not that big a fan of shadow sticks and commenting that you need to try Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown. I watched the application of those dry patchy sticks and being horrified lol. I appreciate not only the update but the time you take to apply these products again 😊
I have dry underyes something that happened this year and the Huda Beauty concealer still works! I don't have to set it, I can mix with other concealers if I want it more natural, and it.stays.on.
No offense...i mostly love all of your opinions! I live in MN and I think theres better than Summer Fridays...Lawless, Makeup by Mario, Milk, Tower 28.
@@Kmarie77 I haven't tried but have heard good things. I have soooo many RN that I look like a hoarder the way it is but it's definitely on my to buy list. Cay Skin is amazing in for SPF too and such a good price w amazing colors!!
Lmaoo the. Honesty 😂Love it nah fr i be the same way one day i like something and one day im like OH that doesnt look good as it did in camera so many factors and it can be hard to keep up with.Since we use diffrent bases for all these new products.
4:05 maybe it’s putting your fingers into the jar after applying on your face?? You’re touching your skin which has oil and putting your fingers which also has oil as well into the jar. With the jar moisturizer, I have a specific dipstick that I wash and I dip it into the moisturizer. I put it a clump on the back of my hand and then I use my fingers to take it off the back of my hand and put it on my forehead, my chin, my right cheek, and my left cheek. I don’t touch my face and then dip my fingers back into the jar. I don’t put my fingers in the jar at all, and I noticed that makes moisturizer that would break me out not break me out anymore. 💞
I think you are SPOT on with your reviews! Even with this video lol. ❤❤❤ I just bought the Gisou hair oil because of you and it’s amazing! Will always stand by your recs. ❤
I had already read so many negative thoughts on those weird Tower28 shimmery bronzers, including the fact they look bright coral, so I never got on board with Morgan on this. However, I recently bought one of the Tower28 *blushes* in the same compact, together with getting my first Rare Beauty haul. We don't have these brands in my country, but when I asked for cream blush tips they were recommended so often, that I caved & ordered abroad. I got the shade 'Magic Dream' in T28 as I needed a nice neutral. Have to say I love it, and can support the recommendations. So, if you tried those weird bronzers and thought "No more Tower28", listen! They're super creamy, but also very light in texture. Super easy to use, buildable if you have deeper skin (my very fair one needs only a tiny bit as it's pretty pigmented without being hard to use, so I can do my blush in seconds), and it works just as easy with your fingers as with a brush. It gives a lovely natural effect. It dries completely - which can be an issue with creams and balms - and doesn't emphasise texture. It has a bit of a satin finish. It's not dewy, but not very matte either. Yup, I'm a fan. Wish they had a royal purple 💜. But I've found a dark almost blueberry purple in Moira's cream blushes, and will buy that one soon, so hopefully it'll be great and also scratch the purple itch 😅. (In case you think: "Purple for very fair skin? You crazy?". Nope. It's the absolute perfect shade if you're cool toned. It will suit any cool toned skin, no matter how fair or deep. Fair, cool toned skin usually gives an ugly effect to (especially barbie & bright) pink blushes. It can wash us out or become orangy. Purple - extremely light hand if fair!! - gives the perfect pink flush, and I've been getting so many compliments about looking "fresh/healthy/awake/younger" etc since I started to use purple (as well as berry, plum and fire engine red) shades. As a 47yo chronically ill person whose face unfortunately shows that often, that's the best comment I could get.
I'd love to see Summer Fridays vs Ole Hendrickson vs Rhode vs Colourpop vs Glossier vs elf?(has elf duped these yet) squeeze tube lip products. They all seem so similar and everyone seems to love different ones.
Omg yes for more parts of this🤣🤣🤣 Same issue with MUFE liners but I set them with translucent powder and they stay put Also rare beauty are so so good 🫠 a lot of heavily pigmented blush came out even more and patchy
I seriously struggle to imagine how anyone can accuse you of lying... I find your videos the most honest, accurate, and through of any other influencer and you always explain "why" you have the opinions that you do so we can follow your mindset and use that information to make a decision for ourselves. I use to watch a dozen different influencers regularly and now it is ONLY you. I still will watch others when I look up a very specific product that I want to see a variety of different opinions about, or I want to see it on someone with a similar skin tone to mine, or closer to my age (I'm old enough to be your Mom). But your videos are SO GOOD, I no longer feel the need to watch anyone else but you because I find your opinions match mine on most things and even when they don't you give me the right type of information I need to make a decision, as if I am testing these things myself. There are a few exceptions to the rule and things I disagree with you about... like "Devine Rose" being the best first Pat McGrath Mothership palette to start with. I have really tried to love that palette because of how much money I spent on it, but I just find this one SO boring and I never use it. Which is kind of funny considering I tend to use and love one and done shadows in super boring neutral colors that make my old saggy hooded lids lifted and my dark brown eyes look bigger. Thanks to you, you turned me on to Natasha Denona and Pat Mcgrath's Blitz Astral shadows which makes me very happy. And if I am being honest... prior to finding you, I wasted SO much money on mediocre, way too expensive makeup that I never used, just collected dust, and eventually gave away. And now that I am following your advice, I am happy with most of my purchases and I actually USE them, and have even hit pan on several!!! So even if I end up buying a few duds that I totally disagree with you about, I am totally fine with that because I am still coming out WAY ahead thanks to your input, and the decision to buy something is ultimately on me, not on you. You truly are such a master at your craft and I hope you don't take any negative comments seriously because the opinions that matter know the real truth. Thanks for all you do!!!
I trust you 100%! I have stopped following influencers who don’t disclose that they are best friends with the creator of the product they’re recommending…. or you can tell they’re constantly pushing a line and it goes past just their love of a product.

Same. Her and Nikki La Rose are really all I watch. Same vibe soft spoken and funny easy to watch. Love them so much.
My mom always says “expensive is what you don’t use”
I agree and love this
That's a good one.
If everything you own is expensive, you use it because its classified as normal for you. 😄

Sometimes the brush makes a difference for highlighters. I still love ofra but I switched to using a less dense brush to highlight and it works great
The Bobbi Brown face base is my holy grail moisturizer/primer. It is wonderful for my dry, mature skin.
I agree and I’m 45 living in a dry cold climate.
My mature skin loves it to but it’s sooo expensive in Australia 🇦🇺
Mine too! I loooove it! 😊
I also have dry and mature skin and if I wear face base three days in a row it breaks me out in tiny, satisfying to pop zits in the weirdest places. So there must be a specific ingredient that does this for some people.

I love the Bobbi Brown Vit E Face Base, I love the way it feels and smells. It's A+ and I use it every single day. Yes it's a great prep I don't have to use primer when I use it. Everyone over 30 try this! It's amazing.
I'm over 30 and it breaks me out too.
I love Bobbi Brown face base. I have combo skin with no acne or breakouts.

I also need to know! This is the ONLY product that works for me!!! Has only flaked once because it was getting old and dry. I need another recommendation. I’ve purchased all the other ones and none hold and keep the hold.
Hey Jen❤u should try elf wow brow gel it's pretty gud for the price
Anastasia Beverly Hills ?
Rare Beauty makes a great strong hold clear brow gel
I can't speak to all of the Patrick Ta duos, but Still At The Club is the closest formula dupe of Pat's Astral and Blitz formulas. I actually prefer the top shade of Patrick Ta to Pat's Astral formula since it has more of a base and finer glitter. I imagine if Pat came out with a duo of special shades. I think people wouldn't have had a problem dropping $40 something on them. That said, I think the biggest issue is Patrick Ta did not make it clear that there were multiple formulas. They definitely could have marketed them better.

I'm 54 now, for instance, when my eyes got more sensitive, i decluttered most of my bigger sort of Pat McGrath type of palettes because i cannot handle the formula anymore, that was only 2 years ago that i did that. We, and only we as followers/consumers have the full responsibility for what we purchase. And Morgan says sorry. She says sorry my opinion has changed. I can follow her mind, when she reviews so much makeup for us in a year. But you may have your own opinion, of course. 😘
@@addieevans08 I know… right!?!? 😂 I was like … wait… what?!?!
I bought the Too Faced Fluff and Hold at your recommendation and noticed it was super flaky after one month of use….but I got an epiphany while watching this video…I ran down to my vanity and added Duraline and it’s good as new! If you insist on forcing yourself to use it…try adding the Duraline at least!
I love the Bobbie Brown primer, I have mature dry skin, so no break outs for me. It’s exactly what my thirsty skin needs. ❤
I feel the same way. Now that I’m in my 50s, my skin cannot seem to get enough moisture, even lathering on thick creams. 💚
Lucky yall, I’m 43 with the oil production of a teenaged boy🤣🤣🤣🤣. I have been on accutane and it cured the acne and cut the oil production down but still not a balanced face😂😂😂.
Still trust you 100% because it’s very clear that you are honest! Loved the video anyway!
We reserve the right to change our mind! xoxoxo thanks for this video! You put effort into making it, into declaring your truth! And we're here for it honey!
Please be that influencer that will guide us to choose the right product. ❤❤❤ I love your videos and your declutter puts me to sleep😂❤ so relaxing
The maybelline tattoo eye stix are terrible but Nikki la rose recommended that so you’re good 😂 i feel the same about the essence mascara. It’s nice but i hate the flaking
I appreciate you doing this video as an influencer! Honestly thank you. You’re human and allowed to change your opinions of products. Sometimes things start off so good and brand new but we try and try and try to make things work and finally realize certain things are trash
Love love this series! I bought the makeup forever lipliners and I agree no one mentioned how they don’t last! I bought them and used them and then gave them away to my mom because she doesn’t mind that they don’t last…but I prefer the long lasting version
I only have the “still at the club” duo by Patrick Ta, and the more glittery one in there does have quite a bit of fall out, I found.
I was a bit taken aback when, after maybe 30 minutes of applying, I realised I had glitter flecks sprinkling my undereye area. I think it’s, as it settled down, the friction of blinking making the glitters jump out of place. And I have oily lids…
I can make it work, of course, with a bit of glitter glue, extra care and all, but it defeats the “one and done” “effortless glam”, “slap it on with your fingers and run out the door” vibes for me 😂
It drags it down to the level of plenty of my other very glitzy shadows that have the same effect.
It’s still a very nice formula, I don’t regret buying it, and I understand how the ingredients and sourcing can amp up the price (along with the brand positioning altogether) but for the user-unfriendliness, it dampens the “luxury” feel for me😂
The BB face base works great on my skin which is mature and very dry but gives a beautiful base to my foundation
I cannot STAND flaking mascara. It hurts my dry eyes. Always good to know!
I appreciate you for making this video, I used to work in the beauty industry and I would go through phases of going from extreme like to extreme dislike on a product. Now that I’m old as shit I hate everything and anything I put on my skin, I wish I had listened to my mature clients when they said one day you wake up old and everything sucks and that’s basically your life moving forward.
I have tried a few of the ELF camo blushes… they look different depending on what foundation I’m wearing. They can get patchy on my self setting foundations; they look better on my foundations that are more water based.
@Ivvl11005 Omga. Those Elf putty blush is horrible, and oily. Idk why ppl said it was matte and you have to move fast to blend. It never matte down on me. I tried both versions.
@ I’ve never tried the putty blush, but I did like the putty bronzer at one point. They had a gray one that was a good contour shade for me.
@@lvvl1005I had a putty bronzer stage myself, but it’s so hard to blend and I just ended up finding a better cream bronzer that replaced it.
Niki la Rose stood up for Patrick Ta and now everyone will like his duo 😄 they are pretty 💛
I had a little splurge on myself this year. I gave myself $50 and even with the sale prices…the ND palette was out of my price range. And truth be told, I NEVER use ALL of the colors in a large palette. The PT one? I use constantly and feels so gorgeous❤
Sometimes makeup lies to us! 😂 it’s not you it’s them ❤
I AGREE ☝🏻
Yesss!!!
💯💯
I like Bobbi brown base , I have no acne
I love face base as well! No acne.
Same!! So maybe its for non sensitive, non acre prone, dry skin. 🤔
Same ❤
I LOVE Bobbi Brown base. I have sensitive skin, extremely acne prone and oily to top it off. This product works amazingly well for me. Love it and have used it for years!!
Thanks Morgan!!! For the deo that smells, sometimes the Deo smell can change because unfortunately, with the years, even if you still are super young, the skin pH can change and make a product smell bad on you.
Yesss Morgan!! I looove that new fenty beauty highlighter formula it’s stunning i have 3 shades! This is why i love your channel among other things. I nvr comment cuz im kinda shy but i love your channel and expertise i wait for your reviews!
Love this format !
I love this idea for a video!
Loved this video! You come across so genuine and I have even thought myself, I bet she has turned down deals because she is not a sell out ! You are pretty much the only influencer I would take advice from !
Hoola Bronzer is is quite cool-toned much better for contouring and sculpting IMHO. I love Dallas for bronzing.
I love Dallas but we can’t get it in 🇨🇦☹️
WHAT they still have Dallas in the US? Ugh how unfair….. I love gold rush and rockatur also. Was devastated when they discontinued those shades.
I also love the Dior Glow Maximizer that you introduced to us. Thanks. It is perfect.
ahh so happy to hear that!
I refuse to buy patrick ta makeup, his quality control is way too questionable and charging "luxury" prices when he and his brand doesn't have that kind of reputation or legacy yet
I just threw all of his products. Patrick who? No thank you.
He uses a lot of slurry formulas and in all fairness to him those specific products are expensive from the lab so the cost is carried over to the consumer obviously. When the raw matierals are expensive no matter how poorly they are mixed together the cost is still expensive for a sub par performing product. Slurry powders are by far superior normally. He must add something in that ruins some in his brand.
@@allytrudie864 i guess I should say it's less about the money, bc I'm willing to pay, but if I'm gonna hear about mold, then all bets are off
I love Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm! It feels so good and smells so delicious!
i love this! this video actually goes to show what an honest influencer you are. one of the very few i trust!
The Bobbi Brown vitamin face base works great for me! No breakouts and leaves my skin ready for makeup.
Morgan!!! Love this video! This was a type of video missing in your content. We need more of these.
I love the bobbi brown cream. I'm sensitive to fragrance but it doesn't break me out. I love it
I give you a ton of credit for going on and saying You either changed your mind or was wrong. Your human!!!! That’s what makes you someone I like to watch, recommend and trust.
Thanks for the clarification on these products.
People forget our skin changes and we age what worked for us several years ago may not work now.
I love that you do this kind of content. I was ride or die for the essence mascara until I noticed it flaking too much. It still is the best for making me look like I actually have lashes, but.... Have a very Merry Christmas Morgan!!! XO
I’ve been following you since 2021and I’ve always trust your reviews Morgan I have some products that you recommend that i absolutely love I can’t wait to see what you try next for 2025
I always thought MAC's Graphblack eye liner lasted all day on the waterline. Brought a backup only to discover it fades! If I had a nickel for every time I changed my mind about a product after multiple uses I would be rich! Thanks for the updates!
one day I love something and another I don't, it happens all the time :) my favourite products are never mentioned, I know that I have my own style and never buy based on influencers' recommendations, I just like to see what's happening in the beauty industry and observe trends even though I don't follow them per se.
I love the beginning ❤❤❤
Ahhh finally someone agrees. I think they changed the formula of the too faced brow gel. I loved it so much when I first opened the tube but after like 2 uses it’s so bad now. Idk what happened. It really was good at first.
You are awesome! Never change!
Girl I sweat a lot And I'm an at home mom secret clinical is a game changer it lasts 2 days but I always put it on 2xs a day! Thank you so much for your honesty and being open about how your opinions have changed! You are truly one of a kind! Love watching you! Xoxo❤
totally not your fault about the TooFaced brow wax!! They must have changed the formula because my first 2 tubes were perfect!!
Thanks for your honesty as always! 💛 It’s funny I often change my mind about products too, simply from trying them again in the harsh dry winter versus humid summer. I have different makeup that I love on my skin in summer and winter. Don’t worry, it happens to all of us! But good to know about about the flaky products…sometimes brands do change formulas and don’t tell us
You are one of the few influencers whose reviews I trust, as I like the way you are super honest and not afraid to say a product is rubbish and why. ELF released some new shades in their liquid blush and I like the look of the lilac one, so I do want to try it, especially as ELF is one of the better drugstore brands and the high end ones like Saie and Rare beauty are expensive. The Bobbi brown face base is full of crap, like but loads of fragrance and also some essential oils and minorly comedogenic ingredients, so maybe your skin reacted to that and broke out. I found that it was waaaay to thick like a balm, I can't imagine it being good for acne prone skin at all
You influenced me to buy an Hourglass palette, and I love it!
omg yesyesyes this makes me so happy
Yes!!! My first one ever and I am 50+!!!
Same !! I took a leap and bought hourglass palettes and me and my mom are enjoying it ❤
I think sometimes you get use to a makeup or your trying with other products and that changes. Love your reviews and find you.very reliable ❤❤
I like my PTa duos. But I like them for what they are as opposed to what was promised. I have 2 duos in 3 finishes and I use them often.
The Hoola bronzer is literally the only one that breaks me out! Alway get zits exactly where I apply!
I feel like it’s normal for every make up lover to get something and either love it or hate it and then it completely switches. That’s what happened with me sooo many times. Just recently tried a foundation I hated, tried it again now it’s my #1 favorite
Something that I changed my mind on was the Lancôme Tient Idole concealer. I wore it for 2 years and LOVED it & then one day woke up and hate it 😅 🤷🏻♀️ unfortunately I had back ups-still do actually because I’m not wearing them. Onto Haus Labs now and looooove ❤
Charlotte had turned me onto the HUDA fulfill to concealer a couple years ago. It was one of her favorites, actually her number one for a couple of years….
I also like it… It’s not too thick. It’s not too thin. It just looks smooth and nice.
I think what happens is that we have so much make up …. I open my concealer drawer and there’s 30 concealers. I’m always bouncing around so I think we forget if it rolls to the back of the drawer it’s not something you’re grabbing for…
I have not tried the foundation and I’m not going to. I promised myself. I’m not buying yet another foundation until I get what I have at least halfway down the bottle…. Again, I probably have 20 and that’s just liquid foundations. Never mind the sticks and the powders, the tinted moisturizer is the BB creams the Cc creams. It just goes on and on.😬
It’s just so hard to resist and there’s so much that gets pushes out more than ever before these last couple of years that it’s killing our pocketbook …. Yet being a girl is so much fun.❤
It’s ok to change your mind. You were honest. No one loves everything. Thank you for being so honest with us.
Oh no!!! Not the Bobbi Brown face base! Lol. I'm sorry it breaks you out. I LOVE it. I've actually just started using it again all over the face since the weather has gotten colder and it is amazing how much softer my face because of it when I'm taking off my makeup at the end of the day.
yess great for winter
same!! it doesn’t break me out and smells sooo good!! my holy grail but I can see how it can be too heavy for some people
I like the Huda foundation I know most people don’t I use half a pump n get a medium coverage with it! N I do like the concealer on my 47yr old eyes
We appreciate the honesty, and the courage to openly change your mind. We all do that. You know I use to love my boyfriend.
You are adorable, Morgan! This video was so cute & funny, & the editing too... LOL!!! 😂😋😂😘
I tried the Bobbi Brown in like 2016 when everyone raved about it back then. I was a teenager and I didn't have much money, so I (thankfully) got the mini version since I couldn't afford the large version. I used it a very few amount of times before I had to admit to myself that it broke me out. I never heard anybody else saying that it broke them out since, so I've been tempted to try it again recently just in case it wasn't actually that product. But now you have confirmed that little teenage me wasn't crazy, and I will not be wasting my money on it again loool.
Omga! I love Huda foundations. They stay on my oily skin so well! I think better than ESTEE LAUDER. The concealer is FULL COVERAGE. I put tiny dots and that's it. Will last forever. I use Urban Decay setting powder that is water proof on top!
I like the concept of this video
With time our opinions can change it's totally okay 😊
PS : I just don't agree about the Patrick Ta eyeshadow price. Too Faced charges $30 for one shadow, UD around $24. Singles are around these prices (excluding elf, colourpop, etc). So I'm not upset about paying $42 for 2 shadows in such a beautiful packaging 😁
I would never hold it against you if you recommended something that didn’t work for me. I know that your skin and my skin are not exactly the same, and that you’re so thorough in your recommendations that I totally trust you even though our skin types aren’t even exact!! I think you’re one of the most honest reviewers out there and I really appreciate all you do!
PS- face base ALWAYS makes me break out too. I think it’s the vitamin E that ingredient usually is a culprit for me (it’s also in bio oil)
A secret to making weak deodorants work: use an alcohol wipe on your pits (like you’d get at a drugstore; they’re cheap), let dry, then use some glycolic acid (Inkey List or Ordinary now make a stick form but the liquid works too). If you’re really prone to stink then use a non-scented strong deodorant like Lume, give it a moment, then apply the good smelling one, otherwise you can go right to the good smelling one. It sounds like a lot of work but it’s really quick and effective and lasts
You can as also use white vinegar. You can use any weak acid. It doesn't have to be a pricey facial one.
@ glycolic acid is pretty cheap, plus it works well to get rid of discoloration, but if you don’t mind the initial smell of vinegar it can be used instead for sure. It does fade quickly!
Thank you Morgan for everything you do! We appreciate your honesty! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I don’t feel or think that you’ve been lying to us. Our skin changes all the time. From day to day - from what we’ve been eating, from what time in the month it is, from weather conditions…. And let’s not forget that we age and so does our skin. 💕
It’s happened to all of us, Morgan. Thanks for circling back on these products though. Nice real video. You’re my fave!!
even though this video exists, you are still by far a reputable and great makeup reviewer :) Don’t beat yourself up too much! You’ve helped me grow a makeup routine that I’m very happy about.
Chica oil-free moisturizers for those with acne ! Like clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Gel is a gel whipped cream that goes on feeling much like lotion but a thinner consistency. Game changing information for those with acne prone skin. Also there is a bunch of makeup out there that is also oil free starting with Clinique i do believe all of their complexion products while pricey are so worth the money to me knowing there wont be one big breakouts aka known as my face.! Now i see moisturizers like these popping up under all kinds of different brand names so im sure there must be products out there that ate comparable at a lower price point... so this is my gift to those girlies who dont know what it is about their skincare and/or makeup thats breaking them out, its probably because the products youre wearing are containing at least one oil on its ingredients liist! Likely if theres one then that product probably has a handfull of different types of oil on the list of ingredients. Happy Holidays everyone!!
I remember hearing you say you're not that big a fan of shadow sticks and commenting that you need to try Laura Mercier and Bobbi Brown. I watched the application of those dry patchy sticks and being horrified lol. I appreciate not only the update but the time you take to apply these products again 😊
I have dry underyes something that happened this year and the Huda Beauty concealer still works! I don't have to set it, I can mix with other concealers if I want it more natural, and it.stays.on.
Products with shea butter also breaks me out too, like that one of Bobbi brown
No offense...i mostly love all of your opinions! I live in MN and I think theres better than Summer Fridays...Lawless, Makeup by Mario, Milk, Tower 28.
In northern Minnesota and the Ole Henriksen is amazing for my sad, dry lips.
@@Kmarie77 I haven't tried but have heard good things. I have soooo many RN that I look like a hoarder the way it is but it's definitely on my to buy list. Cay Skin is amazing in for SPF too and such a good price w amazing colors!!
Lmaoo the. Honesty 😂Love it nah fr i be the same way one day i like something and one day im like OH that doesnt look good as it did in camera so many factors and it can be hard to keep up with.Since we use diffrent bases for all these new products.
4:05 maybe it’s putting your fingers into the jar after applying on your face?? You’re touching your skin which has oil and putting your fingers which also has oil as well into the jar. With the jar moisturizer, I have a specific dipstick that I wash and I dip it into the moisturizer. I put it a clump on the back of my hand and then I use my fingers to take it off the back of my hand and put it on my forehead, my chin, my right cheek, and my left cheek. I don’t touch my face and then dip my fingers back into the jar. I don’t put my fingers in the jar at all, and I noticed that makes moisturizer that would break me out not break me out anymore. 💞
my wish for 2025: no more first impression recommendation... only after actually wearing it🙏
I think you are SPOT on with your reviews! Even with this video lol. ❤❤❤ I just bought the Gisou hair oil because of you and it’s amazing! Will always stand by your recs. ❤
Love your video's don't worry, i will always follow, i watched so many this year, and they were wonderful, thank you, dear Morgan!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had already read so many negative thoughts on those weird Tower28 shimmery bronzers, including the fact they look bright coral, so I never got on board with Morgan on this. However, I recently bought one of the Tower28 *blushes* in the same compact, together with getting my first Rare Beauty haul. We don't have these brands in my country, but when I asked for cream blush tips they were recommended so often, that I caved & ordered abroad. I got the shade 'Magic Dream' in T28 as I needed a nice neutral. Have to say I love it, and can support the recommendations. So, if you tried those weird bronzers and thought "No more Tower28", listen! They're super creamy, but also very light in texture. Super easy to use, buildable if you have deeper skin (my very fair one needs only a tiny bit as it's pretty pigmented without being hard to use, so I can do my blush in seconds), and it works just as easy with your fingers as with a brush. It gives a lovely natural effect. It dries completely - which can be an issue with creams and balms - and doesn't emphasise texture. It has a bit of a satin finish. It's not dewy, but not very matte either. Yup, I'm a fan. Wish they had a royal purple 💜. But I've found a dark almost blueberry purple in Moira's cream blushes, and will buy that one soon, so hopefully it'll be great and also scratch the purple itch 😅.
(In case you think: "Purple for very fair skin? You crazy?". Nope. It's the absolute perfect shade if you're cool toned. It will suit any cool toned skin, no matter how fair or deep. Fair, cool toned skin usually gives an ugly effect to (especially barbie & bright) pink blushes. It can wash us out or become orangy. Purple - extremely light hand if fair!! - gives the perfect pink flush, and I've been getting so many compliments about looking "fresh/healthy/awake/younger" etc since I started to use purple (as well as berry, plum and fire engine red) shades. As a 47yo chronically ill person whose face unfortunately shows that often, that's the best comment I could get.
You are not the only influencer to say that aboyt the brow gel. Jen phelps just said the exact same thing
It takes a lot to put out a video like this and I appreciate your honesty Morgan!
That video title got me.. I was like Morgan Turner lying to us?? She would never!
I'd love to see Summer Fridays vs Ole Hendrickson vs Rhode vs Colourpop vs Glossier vs elf?(has elf duped these yet) squeeze tube lip products. They all seem so similar and everyone seems to love different ones.
Omg yes for more parts of this🤣🤣🤣
Same issue with MUFE liners but I set them with translucent powder and they stay put
Also rare beauty are so so good 🫠 a lot of heavily pigmented blush came out even more and patchy
Agree with you about the Patrick Ta shadows...sorry not sorry..I do like them...high-quality.
I seriously struggle to imagine how anyone can accuse you of lying... I find your videos the most honest, accurate, and through of any other influencer and you always explain "why" you have the opinions that you do so we can follow your mindset and use that information to make a decision for ourselves. I use to watch a dozen different influencers regularly and now it is ONLY you. I still will watch others when I look up a very specific product that I want to see a variety of different opinions about, or I want to see it on someone with a similar skin tone to mine, or closer to my age (I'm old enough to be your Mom). But your videos are SO GOOD, I no longer feel the need to watch anyone else but you because I find your opinions match mine on most things and even when they don't you give me the right type of information I need to make a decision, as if I am testing these things myself. There are a few exceptions to the rule and things I disagree with you about... like "Devine Rose" being the best first Pat McGrath Mothership palette to start with. I have really tried to love that palette because of how much money I spent on it, but I just find this one SO boring and I never use it. Which is kind of funny considering I tend to use and love one and done shadows in super boring neutral colors that make my old saggy hooded lids lifted and my dark brown eyes look bigger. Thanks to you, you turned me on to Natasha Denona and Pat Mcgrath's Blitz Astral shadows which makes me very happy. And if I am being honest... prior to finding you, I wasted SO much money on mediocre, way too expensive makeup that I never used, just collected dust, and eventually gave away. And now that I am following your advice, I am happy with most of my purchases and I actually USE them, and have even hit pan on several!!! So even if I end up buying a few duds that I totally disagree with you about, I am totally fine with that because I am still coming out WAY ahead thanks to your input, and the decision to buy something is ultimately on me, not on you. You truly are such a master at your craft and I hope you don't take any negative comments seriously because the opinions that matter know the real truth. Thanks for all you do!!!
Thank you for your honesty Morgan :)
Tbh this is the exact reason why I really don’t buy recommendations from influencers. Can be an expensive mistake…
Agree with Huda beauty concealer. Its my go to concealer
