A lot of the "clean beauty" stuff goes bad quickly because they don't use preservatives that actually work well. I don't seek out "clean beauty" for that reason. Spoiled products can be really bad for your skin. I appreciate the companies that are "clean" for the sake of the environment and have environmentally-conscious packaging, but not if the actual prodcut doesn't have proper preservatives. Also, when you have to throw away products sooner that actually creates more waste.
Preservatives aren’t even “unclean”, like they’re still made of organic material. I really like what Half Magic has been doing with their compostable blush packaging, I’m excited to see if other makeup companies respond to that with their own compostable packaging.
Never bought Drunk Elephant products. Never will. Too expensive. Recently the founder invited a bunch of influencers in her state - Texas - to meet her, discuss the products, etc... Saw a couple of Instagram or YT vlogs : actually she entertained the influencers during a couple of days - nice hotels, fancy restaurants, rodeos, and of course flight trip offered. A couple of them flew from Europe. At the end the consumer, i.e. us, pays these costs when buying the products. The same with Ole Henriksen who looks to be very kind, enthusiastic. Also entertains influencers - last year on a island in Spain, these days in Denmark to celebrate his birthday. I am happy that some influencers can benefit by those interesting and fancy trips because I love to travel and discover new spots. But I am not going to pay for it if I can find decent products at a decent price. And saving money for my own trips 🙂 Thank you for this video and your whole work
I recently ordered from Rose Inc for the first time, and they were running a really generous "pick two samples at checkout" where one of the choices was a full-sized refill of their cream blushes. I ended up with 3 (I got their discovery kit and used the included code to grab their concealer in a second order, which is an amazing product btw). Two of the refills already had gone off by the smell, and it became clear that, while generous, this offer was to get aging stock out quickly in a way that wouldn't cause a return of product. (IMO, I have no proof of anything.) I also recently bought a $22 "best of" kit from Milk, and the bronzer was already OFF, and the highlighter started smelling after only a week and a half. Again, another "deal" that I suspect was made to move out the fast-aging clean products. From my personal experience, I just don't see how this is sustainable, especially at the prices they charge. I feel like a sea change might/should be coming to how clean makeup is sold, marketed, distributed and priced.
I think clean makeup should be sold in smaller packaging so that it can be used up before going bad. I don’t seek out products that are clean because of the short shelf life and I have a very large makeup collection.
Such a great video! If a product goes bad so quickly or breaks fast, it's definitely not worth the price, whether it's a drugstore or high-end. I love that you talked about BOTH in this video and how much love you give to high-end and drugstores. You keep it balanced :)
I would repurchase the Tarte juicy lip plump solely because I love the way they feel on the lips. For whatever reason the cooling sensation they give is so refreshing and nice.
My wedding MUA did my wedding day makeup with almost exclusively drugstore products and I looked FLAWLESS the entire night. Apparently, it's all about technique and knowing which products work best together for that result and NOT about the price!
I’ve had my Kosas concealer for several months and hasn’t turned on me yet. That being said, I also bought their powder bronzer and it was patchy and smelled like a greasy hotdog by the third month I had it. As far as texturing sprays I looove the results with both Oribe and Kristin Ess, but I can’t get behind Kristin Ess scents. The heavy white florals give me an instant headache every time.
I've had many(if not most) Colourpop lipglosses go bad compared to other brands that have long shelf life. I hadn't realized that until you mentioned it. Will Def keep that in mind the next time I think about buying one.
Elf has been killing it with the skincare. Most of what I use right now skincare is Elf! Especially their cleansing balm. The only two high-end moisturizers I will spend on is the it cosmetics one and the Tatcha dewy skin cream.
I like these videos! I disagree about the Hollywood Flawless Filter. Similar products disappoint me. I will always repurchase - LoVe. Thanks for a great vid!
I haven't even watched the video yet, but just the topic is already so insightful and fresh, and more concise than when these "good but not a repurchase" products are touched on in empties videos. I really appreciate the way you consistently keep your content both interesting and helpful. I am so happy for the growth I'm seeing on your channel and you definitely deserve it for how thoughtful, genuine, and ADAPTABLE you are. 🌟I'm in the process of becoming more consistent with my own channel, and I know how much work a channel of any size takes to maintain, let alone grow. So, I just wanted to say you're doing awesome and I'm so glad I found your channel! 💖
I buy the mini hollywood flawless filter bc it costs about the same as the elf product in Canada and a full size of either would be too much product for me and I already know I love the hollywood flawless filter
I'd love to hear your recs on a dupe for the Protini Moisturizer from Drunk Elephant. I've had great results using it at night time-- I feel significantly less irritation and overall stronger skin barrier. I've been attributing those results to the protein peptides. But man the price point hurts! I typically buy the value size when Ulta has a 20% off of prestige products promo going to get the price/oz down. I don't see too many protein moisturizers out there, so would love to hear alternatives!
I'm with you on colourpop lip products, I think I had to throw away every single lip product (except the pencils) less than a year after purchase even if not fully finished.
I had the Kosas concealer as my one and only concealer and I can attest that it didn't go bad on me! And I'm picky with scents! I think as long as it is used within 6 months it should be ok (mine lasted that, about 5 months I think)
Yes same here! I’ve used up five and had no issues (one of them lasted me 8-9 months and it was starting to smell cheesy in the last month but it was still perfectly fine to use)
That's very quick that you used it up. I don't think the average person is using it up in that time and it's not long after that the product turns and starts smelling off which isn't safe to then keep using. A typical concealer has a much longer shelflife.
idk if it’s just a me thing (i’m a very casual makeup wearer as in mascara, highlighter maybe some concealer on the daily) buy had bought some basic products 1-2 years ago at sephora and have had no issues with anything expiring until my fenty gloss bomb just a few weeks ago. idk if it’s bc i don’t open them often or what but would highly recommend every product i have
I think the Flower Beauty lippies are actually half the size of the Tarte Juicy Lips, so it doesn’t really mean any savings if you go with FB…although the packaging and formula might be better with FB.
Nabla offers unique and wonderful products, especially the eyes paletts (secret garden, dreaming, side by side, etc...) but I agree: a brow pencil can be easily found at drugstore price.
Same thing happened to me with Kosas concealer. But was able to salvage it by applying glue on the cracked cap and avoid closing it too tight. Will still purchase kosas concealer as i love its creamy consistency, not drying as most concealers.
I bought the kosas concealer as an under eye concealer only bc I have extremely acne prone skin and it has pore cloggers. It will be 6 months old in April and it’s just about finished. I’m so proud of myself for using it up. I hate having to throw away makeup that I didn’t have time to finish before it went bad. 😢
My main issue with brow pencils is finding the right shade. I have trouble at the drugstore finding one to match my dark ash blonde brows. They are usually offered in blonde (too light) or light brown (too warm). My best matches I have found are ABH in Taupe and Benefit in 2.5 in case anyone is in the same boat!
As a redhead I haven’t found any drugstore brow products that work for my shade. I stock up during Ulta’s 21 days of beauty because they offer ABH or Benefit at nearly drugstore prices.
The Uoma brow set from Walmart comes in a great deep ash. Shade 4. Unfortunately, Walmart has the whole brand marked half price, so I think it’s being discontinued.
I agree with you on Charlotte Tilbury except half the time her packaging is awful. I LOVE the packaging on her cream bronzer. It’s luxurious. The packaging on her new highlighter is light and totally cheap feeling even though it’s $48!
I received a colourpop lip oil that was already bad. I didn’t realize at first, because it was my first time trying the product, but the smell was so strong and chemically.
Super helpful. I think charlottes over priced so I avoid that brand anyway. But I did wanna try those Tarte lippies. I will be passing now. I love cpop lip oil but I use it within the month I buy it so I never notice it going off quickly. Thanks for sharing!!
I actually contacted Kosas about the bad smell after using their foundation for a month (haven't tried the concealer before) and they said it's normal and that we can use it up to the expiration date or the 12 months mark...🤷🏻♀
I’ve noticed that Colourpop items don’t usually have a shelf life/expiration stamp on them. Wet ‘n Wild doesn’t either. Just have to use our judgement when products start to smell bad lol
I've been working on panning my cream and liquid products this year. I still have a Super Shock highlighter that still performs great, but the Super Shock blush, which I got after the highlighter, got hard. I couldn't even pick any up with my finger. I tossed it.
I've had elf lipsticks go bad after about 2 years. I've never had much else go bad on me. Colour Pop supershocks dry up but I still use with nyx glitter glue.
I agree with this 100%. I love drugstore makeup and think that it's just as good as high end. Some are better. I do however really like the CT Pinkgasm blush because it lasts all day on my cheeks. Most blushes fade. As for eyebrow products, I have pretty full eyebrows so I just brush mine every day and call it good.
I bought a mega size of the Drunk Elephant Protini Moisturizer for $99 and it lasted me almost 3 years without going bad. So I got my money's worth. But def doing a lot of consideration before thinking of buying another one
Actually I find the Physicians Formula Lip Butters to be really similar in texture and wear to the Tarte Maricuja Lip Glosses. They are really comfortable, similarly pigmented, etc.
I too love the Protini peptide moisturizer, but I can't justify the price because there are so many great moisturizers you can get for under twenty dollars.
I got the sephora favorites set that came with the charlotte tillbury happikiss in pillow talk. I have wet n wild lipsticks with more luxe packaging. The revlon shine lisptick in rum raisin is close enough that I feel even silly for owning the CT one. I really dislike the click mechanism too, I would have preferred it being a twist up. It would have been better (I think) that the full size had been the clinique black honey or the nars laguna. The CT lippie is good enough to use up, but I definitely won't repurchase. The luxe vibes weren't there, and I wouln't reccoment anyone spend nearly $30 on it
I agree/have the same issues and I have the one from Elf, It has a oily top layer on it too. Then when I try again.. ithen here comes that top layer then turn to Oily Top Layer 😂
Mac lipsticks I have some that are 10+plus years old (i dont use them), but they still smell like that vanilla scent and new ones that I've bought more recently go bad within a few months
That Kosas concealer should have been in a squeeze tube from the beginning! I think the packaging and application style degrade an already short shelf life. Also....I used to buy from Kosas years ago, ages before they were in Sephora. I think now they focus so much energy on products that perform well (at first) and make great impressions but everything seems to have a weird issue with performance over time.
I think Kosas came out with a mini in their concealer, although I don’t think it’s available in all shades. I’ve been thinking about picking one up during the Sephora sale.
I only tried some of Nabla’s formulas and products. Their Bronzers are okay and Blushes are ❤️🔥🔥 but for the price it’s not worth it. Wet & Wild Pressed Powder 5 N 1 & their Foundation breaks so easy you might as well leave it in the store or have bubble wrap with you. Now Physicians formula Bronzers you might can take the risk. I’m guessing since 2020 pressed Pressed for Drugstore sucks now.
I waited until the tarte ones were in the Ulta sale to pick them up because of what you said about it breaking. So far do goid but I just got them. Lets see if mine breaks too.
I love that colourpop lip oil. I have gone through about 4 tubes of the shade Bengal. Its the perfect your lips but better shade. But honestly I havent had that experience with it going bad quickly probably because I use it pretty much daily (reapplying multiple times a day) so I go through a tube in like 2 months. Lol
Gosh I hate the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip the component is so annoying and the formula is thick on the lips, I returned mine thank goodness for Sephora's return policy
I noticed clean beauty goes bad quick. The colorpop cream products has literally no shelf life. Heard some had a lippie stick for a yr and it dried up so bad it wont even swatch
I don’t know if the Australian protini is wildly different but mine is quite dry and silicone feeling. It’s ok as a night treatment but terrible under makeup
I agree with the FB lippy! It's def NOT a dupe for the Tarte! And I like it better too! The Tarte is very thick! It's ok but not my favorite and I actually really love the FB ones! I have 5 different FB ones lol I'm nuts I swear! But they're so nice and so easy to apply! I love all the colors too!
Do powder products actually go bad? I still use the Becca x Jaclyn Blush Highlight palette I got in 2015 and I still think its great but then when I think about it, it grosses me out lol.
I love videos like this. I would love to see this type of video maybe done for drugstore products as well. Products that are good and are maybe even budget friendly but you still wouldn't repurchase.
Kosas concealer claims it has a 6 month shelve life (which is very normal for a concealer) and for the 3 that I've gone through, that is actually very accurate. All the complaining that it goes bad fast is why it took so long for me to try it and I'm sad about that because it only one that I've found that perfect skin match. It is probably the type of product that is perfect for some one that just wants one super good reliable product and not a huge collection. But, I feel the need to point it does have preservative in it that function perfectly fine. It is probably more likely stuck at 6 months because of the skin care it has it. Particularly that it has Vitamin C and I have not found any vitamin C product that does not go bad between 5-6 months. Maybe if you put it the fridge it would last longer? Plus it would depend on how you are storing it. (Its also the least affective form of Vitamin C, so why they need to put that in there is beyond me. I think that where they get the "brightening" from, but this type of Vitamin C doesn't actually brighten).
$68??? Goodness gracious. And it lasts like what, a month? I use a $22 moisturizer from Cocokind, can’t imagine spending over $30 for skincare. Glad it was nice and useful when you had it- it would have sucked if you spent $68 and it was terrible. 😅
It’s so odd to me that the Rose Inc bronzer gets stiff like that when (in my opinion) they perfected the blushes and I’ve had mine for such a long time - it’s still great! Weird.
I wonder if the packaging accounts for the difference here. The bronzer comes with a twist off lid whereas the blush is in a compact. The packaging has the same shape but different opening mechanisms.
@@v.besson6808 Julia adams has mentioned she has to twist the rose inc bronzer lid super tight to the point where it doesn’t match up in order to keep it from drying out so fast. I agree that it is probably a packaging error
Love your videos! Could you do a video what to do with old makeup that expired or we don’t like anymore? I am trying to find a way to repurpose instead of just throwing away
I tried the Colourpop lip oil and it smelled like paint the day I bought it. To this day with everyone talking about the fact that their products don’t last, I don’t really buy from them anymore.
I have a moisturizer for 30€ and in my eyes this is also already expensive and i would love to Test drunk elephant but this prices are Breaking my Heart 💔🙈🙈🙈…
Kosas has a mini concealer now if u want to use it quicker. I have the kosas concealer bought it 3 times now and never had an issue with it going bad or breaking and I do have other concealer I use also but I love the kosas concealer it's my fav even over my 40$ concealers I am always hunting the perfect concealer and the kosas concealer is my fav sucks they raised the price I remember them being 28$ I think not 30$. I don't like the Tarte juicy plump things they dryer my lips out and made them burn and super dry it's a NO for me , I think it's the peppermint oil in it maybe and my lips don't like it.
I recently caved & bought the Elf Halo Glow Flawless Filter. I wanted a light foundation that I could multipurpose. It was so shiny but faded so fast. It seems like a pretty highlighter but nothing else
I use it under my foundation and it gives it a glow. On no makeup days I use my concealer and then the halo glow with some quick cream or powder blush and I’m done.
I have to disagree on the drunk elephant. At my age anyway you can tell a difference in drugstore skincare. I do use some drugstore but I can't find a replacement for my DE lala retro moisturizer or my Zo eye serum!!
A lot of the "clean beauty" stuff goes bad quickly because they don't use preservatives that actually work well. I don't seek out "clean beauty" for that reason. Spoiled products can be really bad for your skin. I appreciate the companies that are "clean" for the sake of the environment and have environmentally-conscious packaging, but not if the actual prodcut doesn't have proper preservatives. Also, when you have to throw away products sooner that actually creates more waste.
Me too!
Well said!!
Yes, this is why I always wish for smaller sizes and refillable/recyclable packaging as a more practical application of clean/eco branding
Agree !!!!
Preservatives aren’t even “unclean”, like they’re still made of organic material. I really like what Half Magic has been doing with their compostable blush packaging, I’m excited to see if other makeup companies respond to that with their own compostable packaging.
Never bought Drunk Elephant products. Never will. Too expensive. Recently the founder invited a bunch of influencers in her state - Texas - to meet her, discuss the products, etc... Saw a couple of Instagram or YT vlogs : actually she entertained the influencers during a couple of days - nice hotels, fancy restaurants, rodeos, and of course flight trip offered. A couple of them flew from Europe. At the end the consumer, i.e. us, pays these costs when buying the products.
The same with Ole Henriksen who looks to be very kind, enthusiastic. Also entertains influencers - last year on a island in Spain, these days in Denmark to celebrate his birthday.
I am happy that some influencers can benefit by those interesting and fancy trips because I love to travel and discover new spots.
But I am not going to pay for it if I can find decent products at a decent price. And saving money for my own trips 🙂

I feel like a sea change might/should be coming to how clean makeup is sold, marketed, distributed and priced.
I agree with you last time when i've purchased the Milk small sizes face products they have gone bad super fast!!!!
Kathleen Lights also said the same thing about the Rose Inc bronzer!! That she loooves the bronzer so much BUT that it got rock hard on her ):
I think clean makeup should be sold in smaller packaging so that it can be used up before going bad. I don’t seek out products that are clean because of the short shelf life and I have a very large makeup collection.
I saved my CT Flawless Filter mini bottle when I finished it and put my elf halo glow in it for travel! Highly recommend
Oooh good idea!
Such a great video! If a product goes bad so quickly or breaks fast, it's definitely not worth the price, whether it's a drugstore or high-end. I love that you talked about BOTH in this video and how much love you give to high-end and drugstores. You keep it balanced :)

As far as texturing sprays I looove the results with both Oribe and Kristin Ess, but I can’t get behind Kristin Ess scents. The heavy white florals give me an instant headache every time.
Drunk Elephant? More like Overpriced and Delusional Elephant. For the same price, I would go for Niod and Allies of skin, SkinCeuticals is also fine.
I've had many(if not most) Colourpop lipglosses go bad compared to other brands that have long shelf life. I hadn't realized that until you mentioned it. Will Def keep that in mind the next time I think about buying one.
Elf has been killing it with the skincare. Most of what I use right now skincare is Elf! Especially their cleansing balm. The only two high-end moisturizers I will spend on is the it cosmetics one and the Tatcha dewy skin cream.

I buy the mini hollywood flawless filter bc it costs about the same as the elf product in Canada and a full size of either would be too much product for me and I already know I love the hollywood flawless filter
I appreciate a good solid preservative and I passed up the Kosas concealer for that reason.
I'd love to hear your recs on a dupe for the Protini Moisturizer from Drunk Elephant. I've had great results using it at night time-- I feel significantly less irritation and overall stronger skin barrier. I've been attributing those results to the protein peptides.
But man the price point hurts! I typically buy the value size when Ulta has a 20% off of prestige products promo going to get the price/oz down.
I don't see too many protein moisturizers out there, so would love to hear alternatives!

I think the Flower Beauty lippies are actually half the size of the Tarte Juicy Lips, so it doesn’t really mean any savings if you go with FB…although the packaging and formula might be better with FB.
I hate when makeup breaks or isn't made good. Good packaging can really make a difference. I agree.
Nabla offers unique and wonderful products, especially the eyes paletts (secret garden, dreaming, side by side, etc...) but I agree: a brow pencil can be easily found at drugstore price.
15:20 It's 1/2 the price but you also get 1/2 the product. So it's Oz for Oz the same value
Same thing happened to me with Kosas concealer. But was able to salvage it by applying glue on the cracked cap and avoid closing it too tight. Will still purchase kosas concealer as i love its creamy consistency, not drying as most concealers.
I would love to see more skincare content from you, like favorites and current routines
Same please!
I feel opposite of that, I don’t like skincare reviews. If I could find somebody with similar skin, I would probably like it better.
I bought the kosas concealer as an under eye concealer only bc I have extremely acne prone skin and it has pore cloggers. It will be 6 months old in April and it’s just about finished. I’m so proud of myself for using it up. I hate having to throw away makeup that I didn’t have time to finish before it went bad. 😢
“Globby”…..thank you 🙏🏻 YES! Perfect description as to why I decluttered mine!
My main issue with brow pencils is finding the right shade. I have trouble at the drugstore finding one to match my dark ash blonde brows. They are usually offered in blonde (too light) or light brown (too warm). My best matches I have found are ABH in Taupe and Benefit in 2.5 in case anyone is in the same boat!
I saw nyx released new shades in their micro brow pencil and there is one called cool ash brown that may be exactly what you’re looking for.
As a redhead I haven’t found any drugstore brow products that work for my shade. I stock up during Ulta’s 21 days of beauty because they offer ABH or Benefit at nearly drugstore prices.
I agree with you. I just use a light brown instead of a light blonde because I can’t find a blonde shade that matches my hair.
The Uoma brow set from Walmart comes in a great deep ash. Shade 4. Unfortunately, Walmart has the whole brand marked half price, so I think it’s being discontinued.
I had the same issue with the Kosas concealer lid and had to rush to finish it for that reason, really annoying! I won’t be repurchasing either
Hi Kelly. I have not tried the FB lippie. But I have 4 of the Tarte maracuja and none of mine have broken. And I absolutely LOVE the product.
I agree with you on Charlotte Tilbury except half the time her packaging is awful. I LOVE the packaging on her cream bronzer. It’s luxurious. The packaging on her new highlighter is light and totally cheap feeling even though it’s $48!
I received a colourpop lip oil that was already bad. I didn’t realize at first, because it was my first time trying the product, but the smell was so strong and chemically.

I've had elf lipsticks go bad after about 2 years. I've never had much else go bad on me. Colour Pop supershocks dry up but I still use with nyx glitter glue.

My ColourPop lip oil smells chemically too! I googled just today if it's normal and a lot of people said theirs smelled like that from the beginning.
Could you please do a drugstore skincare video?
Any recommendations for a kosas dupe? It's been the only concealer that I love on my hollows. but you are right about teh packaging, price, etc.
I MUCH prefer the SAIE alternative to CT Hollywood filter
Thank you Kelly!! Do you have a dupe for the Oribe dry shampoo?? ❤❤
I bought a mega size of the Drunk Elephant Protini Moisturizer for $99 and it lasted me almost 3 years without going bad. So I got my money's worth. But def doing a lot of consideration before thinking of buying another one
Actually I find the Physicians Formula Lip Butters to be really similar in texture and wear to the Tarte Maricuja Lip Glosses. They are really comfortable, similarly pigmented, etc.
I too love the Protini peptide moisturizer, but I can't justify the price because there are so many great moisturizers you can get for under twenty dollars.
Clean beauty is unregulated. They’re more expensive and go bad fast.
Nope.
I am not sure if you wear a blush in this video. But that's the point. Kept thinking all through the video how beautiful your cheeks look 🥰
This video is so helpful! Thank you! You can do more of these anytime. 😉
I got the sephora favorites set that came with the charlotte tillbury happikiss in pillow talk. I have wet n wild lipsticks with more luxe packaging. The revlon shine lisptick in rum raisin is close enough that I feel even silly for owning the CT one. I really dislike the click mechanism too, I would have preferred it being a twist up.

The luxe vibes weren't there, and I wouln't reccoment anyone spend nearly $30 on it
Wet N Wild rose comforting lip is sortof like the flower ones!
The INKEY List sells a peptide moisturizer for $15.99 that has a similar texture to the Drunk Elephant moisturizer.
I have one of the new luminous putty bronzers from Elf, and it has that same issue as the Rose Inc. bronzer. I feel like a need to break a seal on it!
Oh no! I haven’t tried the luminous version yet but that is a bummer
I agree/have the same issues and I have the one from Elf, It has a oily top layer on it too.
Then when I try again.. ithen here comes that top layer then turn to Oily Top Layer 😂
I love the kosas concealer, but every tube I’ve ever got has broken at that same spot! This is the only concealer I’ve had that happen to. ☹️
I hear that a lot! Hopefully they redo the lid one day
Mac lipsticks
I have some that are 10+plus years old (i dont use them), but they still smell like that vanilla scent and new ones that I've bought more recently go bad within a few months
The Colourpop lip oil always smelled bad, in my opinion. I have a few of them and love them, but have never liked the scent.
That Kosas concealer should have been in a squeeze tube from the beginning! I think the packaging and application style degrade an already short shelf life. Also....I used to buy from Kosas years ago, ages before they were in Sephora. I think now they focus so much energy on products that perform well (at first) and make great impressions but everything seems to have a weird issue with performance over time.
Thank you for this sort of video. It helps sort out what's worth it.
Thank you for these vids Kelly! Such a huge help you are. You look so stunning in that lighting. Just GORGEOUS 😍
I think Kosas came out with a mini in their concealer, although I don’t think it’s available in all shades. I’ve been thinking about picking one up during the Sephora sale.
I only tried some of Nabla’s formulas and products. Their Bronzers are okay and Blushes are ❤️🔥🔥 but for the price it’s not worth it.
Wet & Wild Pressed Powder 5 N 1 & their Foundation breaks so easy you might as well leave it in the store or have bubble wrap with you.
Now Physicians formula Bronzers you might can take the risk. I’m guessing since 2020 pressed Pressed for Drugstore sucks now.
I waited until the tarte ones were in the Ulta sale to pick them up because of what you said about it breaking. So far do goid but I just got them. Lets see if mine breaks too.
Your editing has gotten so good ❤
I love that colourpop lip oil. I have gone through about 4 tubes of the shade Bengal. Its the perfect your lips but better shade. But honestly I havent had that experience with it going bad quickly probably because I use it pretty much daily (reapplying multiple times a day) so I go through a tube in like 2 months. Lol
Gosh I hate the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip the component is so annoying and the formula is thick on the lips, I returned mine thank goodness for Sephora's return policy
I noticed clean beauty goes bad quick. The colorpop cream products has literally no shelf life. Heard some had a lippie stick for a yr and it dried up so bad it wont even swatch
You may have already done this, but would love to see a video of high end products you think are worth the price. Love your videos :)
Your under eyes are gorgeous, what do you use??
I don’t know if the Australian protini is wildly different but mine is quite dry and silicone feeling. It’s ok as a night treatment but terrible under makeup
I agree with the FB lippy! It's def NOT a dupe for the Tarte! And I like it better too! The Tarte is very thick! It's ok but not my favorite and I actually really love the FB ones! I have 5 different FB ones lol I'm nuts I swear! But they're so nice and so easy to apply! I love all the colors too!
On line, the swatches look thick and pigmented. But Kelly says they are sheer. Do you feel the same?
Do powder products actually go bad? I still use the Becca x Jaclyn Blush Highlight palette I got in 2015 and I still think its great but then when I think about it, it grosses me out lol.
Sometimes they hard pan or degenerate from air or oils on your brush. As long as you feel safe using it, use it
As long as the formula has not changed or started to smell bad I believe its fine to continue using powder products
Sorry but to me the wands from CT can be matched closely but there is nothing better I’ve tried them all but I’m loving this video ❤🎉
I’m curious to see your thoughts on the new Fenty mascara.
I love videos like this. I would love to see this type of video maybe done for drugstore products as well. Products that are good and are maybe even budget friendly but you still wouldn't repurchase.
Kosas concealer claims it has a 6 month shelve life (which is very normal for a concealer) and for the 3 that I've gone through, that is actually very accurate. All the complaining that it goes bad fast is why it took so long for me to try it and I'm sad about that because it only one that I've found that perfect skin match. It is probably the type of product that is perfect for some one that just wants one super good reliable product and not a huge collection.
But, I feel the need to point it does have preservative in it that function perfectly fine. It is probably more likely stuck at 6 months because of the skin care it has it. Particularly that it has Vitamin C and I have not found any vitamin C product that does not go bad between 5-6 months. Maybe if you put it the fridge it would last longer? Plus it would depend on how you are storing it. (Its also the least affective form of Vitamin C, so why they need to put that in there is beyond me. I think that where they get the "brightening" from, but this type of Vitamin C doesn't actually brighten).
I just got a mini of the kosas concealer, so hopefully I can use that before it goes bad. It’s such a good concealer though 😭
My maracuja lip plump JUST broke this morning and I’m so pissed about it 😢
Noooooo!!!
Love that you give us options!
The DE Polypeptide moisturizer don’t work for my skin. I so wanted to love the product.
I haven’t bought a Kristin Ess product since COVID and the price jump
$68??? Goodness gracious. And it lasts like what, a month? I use a $22 moisturizer from Cocokind, can’t imagine spending over $30 for skincare. Glad it was nice and useful when you had it- it would have sucked if you spent $68 and it was terrible. 😅
It’s so odd to me that the Rose Inc bronzer gets stiff like that when (in my opinion) they perfected the blushes and I’ve had mine for such a long time - it’s still great! Weird.
Oooh strange!
I wonder if the packaging accounts for the difference here. The bronzer comes with a twist off lid whereas the blush is in a compact. The packaging has the same shape but different opening mechanisms.
@@v.besson6808 Julia adams has mentioned she has to twist the rose inc bronzer lid super tight to the point where it doesn’t match up in order to keep it from drying out so fast. I agree that it is probably a packaging error
Love your videos! Could you do a video what to do with old makeup that expired or we don’t like anymore? I am trying to find a way to repurpose instead of just throwing away
Great video idea! Sarah Rose Beauty does a series of videos showing how to repurpose makeup and they’re really helpful
Hi Kelly! Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts!😉
I love the Kosas concealer but it is a waste of money. It goes bad way too fast and starts looking weird on the skin after a month.
I tried the Colourpop lip oil and it smelled like paint the day I bought it. To this day with everyone talking about the fact that their products don’t last, I don’t really buy from them anymore.
I have a moisturizer for 30€ and in my eyes this is also already expensive and i would love to Test drunk elephant but this prices are Breaking my Heart 💔🙈🙈🙈…
Thank you.
The Kosas concealer I just recently purchased it. How long after purchase did you start noticing it changing?
A few months! I would just recommend using it quickly :)
@@KellyGooch thanks you!
Kosas has a mini concealer now if u want to use it quicker. I have the kosas concealer bought it 3 times now and never had an issue with it going bad or breaking and I do have other concealer I use also but I love the kosas concealer it's my fav even over my 40$ concealers I am always hunting the perfect concealer and the kosas concealer is my fav sucks they raised the price I remember them being 28$ I think not 30$. I don't like the Tarte juicy plump things they dryer my lips out and made them burn and super dry it's a NO for me , I think it's the peppermint oil in it maybe and my lips don't like it.
Ooh a mini version of it is a great idea!
Can you link your earrings please
I love this kind of video!
Great video Kelly!
My orbie hairspray kept breaking and clogging till I just threw it out so annoying for that price
I recently caved & bought the Elf Halo Glow Flawless Filter. I wanted a light foundation that I could multipurpose. It was so shiny but faded so fast. It seems like a pretty highlighter but nothing else
I was going to try to Elf one 🥲 maybe I’ll try iconic London instead
I use it under my foundation and it gives it a glow. On no makeup days I use my concealer and then the halo glow with some quick cream or powder blush and I’m done.
Cool video. Thanks for the informations.
❤❤❤
I have to disagree on the drunk elephant. At my age anyway you can tell a difference in drugstore skincare. I do use some drugstore but I can't find a replacement for my DE lala retro moisturizer or my Zo eye serum!!
