THIS!!!!! ALL of THIS!!! Why isn’t this a viral video. Lol What annoys me is how ‘natural’ products go bad so fast. I will stick to science and preservatives thank you.
@@chlomo2618 "Because preservatives are the Devil". There, I fixed that for you, lol. I REFUSE to buy anything without them. Last thing I want to do is pay any amount of money only for a product to last me days/weeks or maybe a month. I don't care how "AmAzIng" anyone claims it to be. It's just NOT happening... 🧏♀️
You know what I HATE ??? Collections divided in at least 4 different launches 😬 3 orders placed till now waiting for 2 🤐 let's see how many more launches we will have 😑🤷🏼♀️🙈🙈🙈
Right?! And then you wait forever to get that nail polish that you were initially interested in and it never comes, or remaining items take forever to launch and eventually everyone loses interest if at all remembers they had to come, still!
yep, Pat Mcgrath, sitting and waiting for the blushes and by the time they decide to launch the quinzes eyeshadows would have disappeared. In a nutshell, will have to pay shipping costs twice if I didn't want to miss out on those.
As much as I love Pat McGrath, the extra I have spent buying everything separately instead of getting it in a bundle for less is maddening! Buying the Mega Mothership palette separately from the blush palette cost me an extra $26CDN. And that was AFTER getting 10% off both items!
They do it so you don't skip any of it because it feels cheaper when you don't see the actual total. Paying $200 one week and then $200 next week only looks like $200 and not $400. It is the new $19.99.
This series is brilliant 👏 i definitely agree about PML and Hourglass when they put existing shades in with new ones, i mean what the hell so annoying 😤
GIRL. The magnet situation is absolutely MADDENING. I have a special acrylic case for all of my LE lippies and it looks like I can’t put my things away because half of them look like they’re trying to launch out of their spots. LISA, COME ON. I also can’t stand the little makeup applicators that come with quads or quints. Who is really using those? I hate feeling wasteful and throwing them away but let’s get real. 😂 You look absolutely stunning and this video was spot on!! ❤
I love sponge tip applicators! They're perfect for lid colors! That's what we used before there were a bazillion brushes lol and they still work great!
I do believe the 2nd cap is put in skin care to stop it front permanently globbing up the actual lid in travel to you. But yes, the not being able to open packaging is rampant. it take me nearly 20 minutes to open my Sisley blush. And for the price they should come open it for me! I even have a Pat Mcgrath blush that sticks so much I break my thumb nail every time.
Love your rants 🥰 Reg the extra lids in skincare: they do serve a purpose during transport; to avoid the product getting all over the actual lid and/or spilling out if the top lid unscrews. I keep them if i think I'm gonna travel with the item, but otherwise (most of the time) I just throw them out
Like Tatcha moisturizer - I have the little tiny Tatcha pots and just transfer product into them for travel. Takes up much less space. And I throw away the big pot lids.
The chanel complexion touch is made to spot conceal which is their justification for the 20ml size however its not a concealer and most of us who love it, use it all over the face as a foundation. 20ml is unacceptable especially considering the price tag ! And thanks for bringing to our attention the mascara size, I wont be getting it, I have other mascaras that I'm happy with, I'll pass. Thanks Charlotte❣
I loved this Charlotte! New subbie here, so glad I found you! Although I'm almost 59 years old I'm not longer interested in bargain cosmetics. I've used them and liked them in the past and even own a few now, but now that I'm established in life I really enjoy high end cosmetics, I'm a happily divorced, an empty nester, own my own home, and no grandkids (YET), with a good career. I've always loved makeup since about 12-13 years old. Every time we went to the store I begged her to but me just one makeup item. Now you must understand that in those days the drugstore makeup isle was miniscule compared to now! I made a makeshift vanity out of an old dresser and I had fold out lighted vanity mirror, which I still have today) and have been an enthusiast ever since! I have been binge watching you for a while and absolutely your videos, the content, your accent, knowledge of the cosmetics your review, and of course your beauty (inner and outer). And you make great recommendations. Can't wait to do some shopping soon. Definitely will keep on watching!
I left the house last week with my Wayne goss palette and a butter knife in my purse 🤣 could you imagine, officer please don’t confiscate my knife I need it for makeup
The not standing up mirror…YESSSSS!!! I feel you completely. The difficulty we have on opening ANYTHING is so frustrating that sometimes I just rather not use it. It’ll get on my nerves too early in the morning 😂😂😂😂 I love love love you ranting and this series soooooo much. Cause we all can relate!!!
I love these videos because you are not alone with the urge to hurl products across the room!! I don't dare do that because they are way too expensive!!! You need to make these as a standing monthly video or when you have enough items you haven't mentioned!!
This is it! Brilliant…I laughed so hard 😂 It’s actually the most enjoyable video I have seen in a long time! Thank you for making my day less stressful! ❤greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
As Alexandra Pavlish said .. You CRUSHED this!! You made my day .. I laughed out loud .. and almost cried .. because not only was it perfectly funny, but also because we ALL know what you are ranting about .. we have all been driven into a demented state because of them. I have the Huda Nude Light Obsessions palette and I can NO LONGER OPEN IT!! It is welded shut. I have broken fingernails, tried to use a tweezers (which BROKE) and used .. much to my annoyance .. an actual MAN, and it still won't open. One of my favourite shimmers is in there, laughing at me and my desperation and tempting me to just go buy another one for that shade alone (it is the bright pink/lilac one that I never in a million years would have thought I would use .. and now I ADORE her completely .. and I miss her .. sob!!). So I understand your pain and irritation, you would think that these brands would have people like us test the packaging for usefulness before they make them!!!! My nerves are shot now, so I have to lie-down xxxxxx
I agree about the extra cap in skincare. I think what they need to do is attach it to the packaging. So you screw the lid off, then lift the hygiene lid to access the product, then snap the hygiene lid back down and screw on the cap. It will serve it's purpose, keep the product from making a mess during travel, and you don't have to worry about setting it down, dropping it (always product side down on the floor!) or throwing it away. Problem solved!
You’re not alone. The Nars palettes are hard to open also. For those of us with chronic pain and joint issues we just forgo using some of these products that we paid for just because it’s too much trouble
Ok all are hilarious! The extra lid I’m pretty sure is for preventing spillage all over the inside of the cap during transport. Once you have it home and won’t be taking it anywhere I think you can take it out and throw it away.
Yes! Brands that put me in magnet hell are Westman Atelier (blushes) and Lisa Eldridge lipsticks (thought they are my favs). If any of these get near each other they start repelling each other and falling all over the place. It really does send me over the edge. I have to turn every other Westman blush upside down to get them to behave. The Lisa lipsticks must be in an acrylic holder to get them to behave. by the way, You look stunning
Hi loving this! With the Gucci blush, put one finger above and one finger below the other catch and push/twist (I call it a butterfly catch, it’s like the metal catch used to get on old clutch bags) xx
I wholeheartedly agree! What gripes me is the tiny lip gloss that has exaggerated lengths in the tube & lid so as to disguise the actual length of the product within said tube. I can appreciate a petite lip gloss if I'm not duped into believing it's of normal size. Does not make me happy! Not even close!
A Friday evening rant is the perfect way to end the week/start the weekend 👍😂.......pour yourself a glass of wine, sit back and enjoy. Who doesn’t love a good rant 😂😂 Can you make this a regular feature if possible please and if you run out of make up to rant about, just rant about anything. I’m in ...👍
Hi Charlotte! I’m a beauty specialist at boots and we had some training on the touché de tint and they said it wasn’t meant for all over application, and was supposed to be something you use to top up your makeup or you can use it for extra coverage like a concealer. So I think that’s why it’s smaller. Hope this helps ❤ love your channel ❤
I’m with you with the second lid. I wipe off the excess, throw the third lid out, and then spend the rest of the time wondering if I should have thrown it away!
That’s me with the Wayne Goss too. and Patrick Ta’s blushes look like Tom ford cases, but their clasps open differently. Takes me minimum 2 tries for both products now 😂
You are not alone. I have stopped buying products because I don’t want duplicates. Don’t get me started on the magnet, they are either too strong or don’t work at all. Loved this video!
😂 U R hilarious!!!! The mirror problem in the eyeshadow pallets will eventually be solved when you get older and need a regular mirror and magnifying mirror to see what you are doing. 😢
LOVED this video, hysterical 🤣 completely disagree with the mirror thing however, I prefer a palette that doesn't 'stand up' because I like to fold the lid backwards and just use the palette 😅 infact, just scrap mirror all together because I never use them
I am frustrated with the plastic wrappers on lip pencils, eyeliners and such. I find it almost impossible to get the wrapping off. I end up using some manicure scissors and try to get to the strip that am supposed to pull when most of the time I slice into my other hand holding the product. Make it easier for us to get into our product, please!!
YES!! The in-fighting of my Lisa Eldridge lipsticks is so irritating!! So yes. I must put non-magnetized lipsticks in betweengst (fun non word) the Eldridge sisters to keep them from jumping out of my drawer in all directions 🤬
Hahaha love it! And yes you can throw away the extra lid if you don't need to travel with it. That's the only reason why it's on it. When it's on your shelf you don't need it anymore.
I have a blush by Sleek that is actually really nice but I never use it because opening the packaging is so hard 😂 It'll either ruin my nail polish or just my entire nail.
I have NEVER EVER laughed so much and so hard in my life!!! You nailed it!! All of your complaints are so true. One of my pet peeves is those insipid little brushes or sponges that come with even the pricier makeup and are completely useless. Yet, they’re there and fall out and disappear on the floor. I just toss them, but what a total waste!
Yes I had to buy a lipstick holder with separate slots for my Lisa lipsticks so they can displayed together! I just wanted them to sit by each other without knocking each other over 😅.
YES!!! I put the plastic cover in the Wayne Goss openings. I cannot get those palettes open for love or money. Once open, I have to put something in them or they are locked forever.
I loved this 😂😂😂 I must definitely catch part 1. I have to say I agree with you on most things. I thought I had a different opinion on the second plastic lids in skincare, but the more you talked about them the more I found myself in agreement. Can you do a video where you show us your makeup storage and your dresser, please?
Lololol when you said magnets, the team of nerds constantly playing word association games in the back of my head shouted "Lisa Eldridge!" Basically the real reason I own so many Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks is to serve as a diplomatic force for the warring LEs in my drawer.
Some of the powders are hard to open. I usually try the hinge first and then struggle at the very recessed tiny tiny space to put a pin sized piece to open it. Or when I open a loose powder, I get it up as a cloud or spill it all over the sink area. My sink has a beautiful finish as well as my hair. Lovely look first thing in the morning.
Charlotte Tilbury blush compacts and her Airbrush powder compacts also gave me fits when trying to open them. I always broke a nail. It's a little easier now since I've found a little trick to it but it doesn't always work. I hadn't realized the problem with the Anastasia palettes until you pointed it out. Now I will notice the hell out of it. LOL!!! And Pat McGrath individual blushes are also VERY difficult to open. I agree with EVERYTHING you mentioned as far as annoyance goes!!!
A thousand times YES!!! OMG this was so much fun. I too am a worshipper of Lisa Eldridge and wanted to store all of my golden beauties on top of my vanity on a tray but could not get them to stop fighting with each other!! Very disappointing indeed. Love them otherwise of course. 😂 The extra lid also had me cackling. Why?! Clearly there must be a better design out there. For me I loathe any packaging that will not let me get to every last bit of product!!!
I can't stand it when packaging makes it impossible for you to get every last little bit out (or close)! If I like a product enough to be hitting pan on it, so to speak, I want to be able to use it all! Foundations, glosses etc. Some packaging is just unnecessarily aggressive in not letting you access all of it. Loved this video, agree with the commenter that said this could be a stand-up routine 😂. You are saying all the things we are all thinking but with excellent delivery!
Totally agree about Lisa Eldridge lipsticks, I have to do the same thing separate them from each other, I thought it only bothered me.🤣❤️ I wish all moisturizers would come in those airless jars. Whenever I have one of those jars after I’m done with the product I’ll wash it out really well and put a different one in it. Now if it’s a pretty jar I’m stuck lifting that plastic lid out cause the jar is so pretty. This was hilarious but also so true, loved this.🥰
I'm with you on the floppy mirrors in palettes, why won't it stand up, I only have two hands I can't hold the palette and apply my shadow, so I end up using my bathroom mirror which the lighting isn't the best or flattering. I also don't like when the mirror doesn't open wide enough, even if it does stand up, I can't get the top row if the pans are small. Agree with amount of product in the packaging, if I'm paying for it, give me the proper amount.
Brilliant! I agree with your comments🤨 I would add I hate glass bottles! Lancome use glass bottles for primer and foundation.The pump stops working before you get to the end of the product! !!
Love the video! The second lid on the skincare products is to reduce the speed of moisture lost and product being dried up quicker. If you have two of the same product one with the second lid on, and one without, you can see the difference after 1-2 months
Lol! I love your rage!😂😊 I have the same magnet issue with my Westman Atelier sticks! They repel each other won’t stand up next to each other in my drawer
Yes! My Lisa Eldridge lipstick collection is fighting in my make up drawer and I have to put lipsticks from other in between each LE lipstick to avoid them jumping ship and keep the peace. it's annoying!
ohhhhhhhh brilliant!!!!!! I agree with everything Charlotte!!!!!! Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and ABH palette are the worst to me :D I bought a specific acrilic lipstick holder to separate all the magnetics ones I have an episode that might seem strange, but I have lisa's lipsticks in order of color and type, every time I took one, the others mixed, stuck or fell, messing up the whole order I had assigned to them soooooo annoying 😆
I just adore your videos they are truly a hoot !!! I discovered the magnet issue with the BK beauty lipsticks..sliding around messing up the order of things..And speaking of halves can I please have the bottom half of the shirt..Im not 12 and don’t care to show the effects of a mature body !!!
😂😅. I watched other RUclips influences talked about how they would refer the eyes shadow palette mirror open all the way so when they need to look very closely for apply mascara and fake lashes etc… the shadow part won’t hit them in the face. I think the extra lit on a cream jar is for extra seal so the product won’t spill out due to shipping and it last longer until you open it. You can throw it away when open. No need to keep.
Loved this video! I had the same issue with the Gucci blush the first time I tried to open it - so confusing! I feel like they should have just left off the catch since it’s not necessary for opening the product.
For the double skincare lids, if you put the inner lid down inside the cap while you're using the product you won't get any counter contamination on it and it should fit right into place when you screw the cap back onto the jar. I find that works well and doesn't create extra mess. I'd also like to put up Westman Atelier and Fenty Beauty compacts as being a pain in the ass to open without risking a fingernail. Add in any kind of joint issue or movement disorder in the hands and they become almost impossible.
Omg i love this! Magnets = my freaking westman atelier blushes cannot stand next to each other because of the stupid magnet. But since the labels are in the bottom i wanted to store them upside down. Now i need to just stack them or else they fly everywhere. No mirror = my makeup by mario skin enhancer. Do you know how often i look through my cover expecting to see myself and looking through the cover?....gah it makes me feel so stupid. Stupid packaging = i have knicked my gucci blush multiple times with my nails trying to open it up and i am livid haha. Dirty makeup = makeup that should come with a pump applicator and not in a tub or tube like the chantecaille anti aging face tint or even the charlotte tilbury wands. Such dirty packaging OR pumps that pump wayyyyy to much product ? Hello chanel les beiges blushes gahhh Lastly, i hate my rose inc applicator because it allways gets so dirty. The hole of the container needs to be a bit smaller to take off some of the product on the way out! Okay this was a lovely experience and i feel much better hahaha thank you for this video. I love all the products i just mentioned but sometimes i can throw one out of the window.
Yesssss I thought I was the only one that hates the CT “wand” packaging. It is NO wand. 😠 I realize these are well loved and in high demand. I wouldn’t know, I never use mine because the sponge tip idea is so gross to me. Why not just put them in a normal tube?? Who thought of this and what the heck made them think this was a great idea for makeup? Everyone hated her concealer but the contour wand is always sold out?? I don’t get it 🤷🏻♀️ 🤪
“Uhhh, rude.” Exactly. That’s what I say every time I buy something expensive and that money leaves my bank account. Or when I’m so excited that something is finally on sale and then you add shipping and tax and it’s now $2 cheaper than it was originally. I logically know that I’d still be saving on shipping and tax if I bought it full price but it’s such a bummer that I never buy it when that happens
Yup like I needed triples of Divine Rose blush since I bought the original single when it first launched. Again in the Galactic Sun Divine Blush + Glow Trio from the second Bridgerton launch. And now in the Divine Blush + Glow Cheek Palette from the Celestial Nirvana launch. 🤦🏻♀️
Nailed it! I would watch you daily 🥰 Lip Gloss that has such a fat doe foot that it's splatters out gloss when the suction releases it from the bottle.
😂😂😂 I agree with absolutely everything you said!! 😅😂 Can we talk about the tiniest useless mirror in the Pat Magrath Undereye Powder? Like is that a joke?
Well, well, well said. A Charlotte Tilbury mascara only lasted for two months and I expect my mascaras to last for three months each. My Lisa Eldridge lipsticks cling to my eyelash curlers. With my Juvia's Place palettes, I wedge the plastic cover under one the top corners and that stops the palette lid from slamming shut.
😂😂😂 You are so right Charlotte!!! I looove Lisa Eldridge, but the magnets in her lipsticks drive me crazy!!! I just have a tiny place to store them and it's impossible to keep them side by side 😤. 😘😘😘
the shive on skin care is essential to keep the product protected during the storage i.e. before it is bought and open. Moisture loss is prevented as well..
all my eyeshadow pallettes have lids that stay up because over the years I've not used the other ones and have thrown them in the bin. Great video deserves to go viral x
My granddaughter and I each had 2 Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and we had a race down the kitchen countertop, the second lipstick magnetically pushing the first. Hard to open: Pat McGrath blushes and Chantecaille Blur powder.
hahah, couldn't agree more. Lisa's lipsticks are driving me bananas. I also just depotted all of my Pat eyeshadows and now that I can see them side by side half of them look almost identical to one another. :D
That ABH palette lid comes down so hard it shatters the shadows in there. I am repressing those stupid soft powders every time I open it again. Lol bug bear? Never heard that! So cute and funny and I am stealing that.
THIS!!!!! ALL of THIS!!! Why isn’t this a viral video. Lol What annoys me is how ‘natural’ products go bad so fast. I will stick to science and preservatives thank you.
Yes! "Clean" beauty that smells bad and gets mouldy, because preservatives are there for a reason 😆
@@chlomo2618 "Because preservatives are the Devil". There, I fixed that for you, lol. I REFUSE to buy anything without them. Last thing I want to do is pay any amount of money only for a product to last me days/weeks or maybe a month. I don't care how "AmAzIng" anyone claims it to be. It's just NOT happening... 🧏♀️
Big facts
THIS!!! Give me my parabens. They’re safe and they prevent products from spoiling haha.
Seriously. Alcohol is in there for a reason.
You know what I HATE ??? Collections divided in at least 4 different launches 😬 3 orders placed till now waiting for 2 🤐 let's see how many more launches we will have 😑🤷🏼♀️🙈🙈🙈
Same.. it’s driven me slightly bonkers.
Right?! And then you wait forever to get that nail polish that you were initially interested in and it never comes, or remaining items take forever to launch and eventually everyone loses interest if at all remembers they had to come, still!

You really need to turn his series into a standup routine!! You would crush with this.
For real! With Charlotte, I like a video as soon as she makes me laugh.
Agree 100%!! Love Charlotte’s humor and commentary! So original, direct, informative and hilariously delivered! 😂🎉
GIRL. The magnet situation is absolutely MADDENING. I have a special acrylic case for all of my LE lippies and it looks like I can’t put my things away because half of them look like they’re trying to launch out of their spots. LISA, COME ON. I also can’t stand the little makeup applicators that come with quads or quints. Who is really using those?

I love sponge tip applicators! They're perfect for lid colors! That's what we used before there were a bazillion brushes lol and they still work great!
I use the little wands for certain shadows that are often the highlight or super matte.
The Huda Beauty lipsticks do the same thing. I hate that I have to put a lipstick between them so the magnets don't touch each other.
Charlotte, I just laughed my way through this. I agree with everything, but your delivery is simply the best.
I laughed thru the entire video!! Charlotte is so funny and comical to watch! What a great video to start the day with.
I do believe the 2nd cap is put in skin care to stop it front permanently globbing up the actual lid in travel to you. But yes, the not being able to open packaging is rampant. it take me nearly 20 minutes to open my Sisley blush. And for the price they should come open it for me! I even have a Pat Mcgrath blush that sticks so much I break my thumb nail every time.
If you were playing with magnets in Biology, your teacher probably had lost the plot😂you’re so funny Charlotte😂🥰😂
😂😂😂
I was thinking the same 🤣
I think she meant Physics.
Love your rants 🥰
Reg the extra lids in skincare: they do serve a purpose during transport; to avoid the product getting all over the actual lid and/or spilling out if the top lid unscrews. I keep them if i think I'm gonna travel with the item, but otherwise (most of the time) I just throw them out

I LOVE THIS SERIES!! It’s indeed therapeutic 😂❤
How lewd!!😂❤️ My biggest pet peeve is also the chipping of polish or breaking a nail to open the outside packaging or the component itself - the rage!
The chanel complexion touch is made to spot conceal which is their justification for the 20ml size however its not a concealer and most of us who love it, use it all over the face as a foundation. 20ml is unacceptable especially considering the price tag !

I am older than you and agree entirely. Have a lighted mirror that is now 50 years old. 🏜👩🦳🕸🕷🎃🐈⬛🇺🇲
I left the house last week with my Wayne goss palette and a butter knife in my purse 🤣 could you imagine, officer please don’t confiscate my knife I need it for makeup
"I do not want to speak ill of my angel, my queen... Lisa Eldridge." Literally me.
The not standing up mirror…YESSSSS!!! I feel you completely.
The difficulty we have on opening ANYTHING is so frustrating that sometimes I just rather not use it. It’ll get on my nerves too early in the morning 😂😂😂😂
I love love love you ranting and this series soooooo much. Cause we all can relate!!!

When I hurl products across the room they become cat toys and are such not wasted. 🏜👩🦳🕸🕷🎃🐈⬛🇺🇲
I have been through a lot this year, but the one thing that makes me smile are your videos. Thank you ❤️
This is it! Brilliant…I laughed so hard 😂 It’s actually the most enjoyable video I have seen in a long time! Thank you for making my day less stressful! ❤greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

These are my absolute fave youtube content. If I were a cosmetic co. CEO, I would hire you as a product previewer pronto. Common sense is MIA!

Watching your videos is like chicken soup for my soul. You always make me laugh and I so enjoy you. 😊
Hi Charlotte...you are so EXTRA! You are definitely my favorite influencer on RUclips. I love this series and will continue to watch.

I really enjoyed this video. It was so relatable 😅. Thanks for putting a humorous spin on the things we hate about the items we actually enjoy! 😂
YES. Love the Lisa Eldridge lipsticks, but I keep them in their packaging bc of the magnets (and I like the symmetry!)
Wish I would have done that.

Your not alone girl. Putting new shades in with existing shades drive me crazy!!! Love your videos. I’m always laughing 😂
I’m with you with the second lid. I wipe off the excess, throw the third lid out, and then spend the rest of the time wondering if I should have thrown it away!
That’s me with the Wayne Goss too. and Patrick Ta’s blushes look like Tom ford cases, but their clasps open differently. Takes me minimum 2 tries for both products now 😂
Right now I am incensed with tarte! They finally do a cool toned palette which suits me perfectly but I have to buy a warm palette to get it! 😤
You are not alone. I have stopped buying products because I don’t want duplicates. Don’t get me started on the magnet, they are either too strong or don’t work at all. Loved this video!
😂 U R hilarious!!!! The mirror problem in the eyeshadow pallets will eventually be solved when you get older and need a regular mirror and magnifying mirror to see what you are doing. 😢
LOVED this video, hysterical 🤣 completely disagree with the mirror thing however, I prefer a palette that doesn't 'stand up' because I like to fold the lid backwards and just use the palette 😅 infact, just scrap mirror all together because I never use them
I am frustrated with the plastic wrappers on lip pencils, eyeliners and such. I find it almost impossible to get the wrapping off. I end up using some manicure scissors and try to get to the strip that am supposed to pull when most of the time I slice into my other hand holding the product. Make it easier for us to get into our product, please!!
You are hilarious, Charlotte! I love this series 😂
YES!! The in-fighting of my Lisa Eldridge lipsticks is so irritating!! So yes. I must put non-magnetized lipsticks in betweengst (fun non word) the Eldridge sisters to keep them from jumping out of my drawer in all directions 🤬
Hahaha love it! And yes you can throw away the extra lid if you don't need to travel with it. That's the only reason why it's on it. When it's on your shelf you don't need it anymore.
I loved this !!! I agree with you. NARS palettes are impossible to open without breaking your nails
I have a blush by Sleek that is actually really nice but I never use it because opening the packaging is so hard 😂
It'll either ruin my nail polish or just my entire nail.
I’ve only just discovered these series and I’m obsessed! X
"THATS NOT ME?!"🤣 you're hilarious!
🤣😭😩💀
I have NEVER EVER laughed so much and so hard in my life!!! You nailed it!! All of your complaints are so true. One of my pet peeves is those insipid little brushes or sponges that come with even the pricier makeup and are completely useless. Yet, they’re there and fall out and disappear on the floor. I just toss them, but what a total waste!
So so funny! Love this. Hope another “you don’t need that” soon!
Yes I had to buy a lipstick holder with separate slots for my Lisa lipsticks so they can displayed together! I just wanted them to sit by each other without knocking each other over 😅.
You are not alone Charlotte!!! Thank you for voicing your opinion! I hope these luxury brands are listening.
I had to buy lipstick holders to train my Lisa Eldridge lipsticks.
🤣
What did you buy, I need something for mine too.
YES!!! I put the plastic cover in the Wayne Goss openings. I cannot get those palettes open for love or money. Once open, I have to put something in them or they are locked forever.
I loved this 😂😂😂 I must definitely catch part 1. I have to say I agree with you on most things. I thought I had a different opinion on the second plastic lids in skincare, but the more you talked about them the more I found myself in agreement.
Can you do a video where you show us your makeup storage and your dresser, please?
Lololol when you said magnets, the team of nerds constantly playing word association games in the back of my head shouted "Lisa Eldridge!" Basically the real reason I own so many Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks is to serve as a diplomatic force for the warring LEs in my drawer.
I share many of your frustrations, so I really enjoyed this! Love your brilliant humor, Charlotte!
Some of the powders are hard to open. I usually try the hinge first and then struggle at the very recessed tiny tiny space to put a pin sized piece to open it. Or when I open a loose powder, I get it up as a cloud or spill it all over the sink area. My sink has a beautiful finish as well as my hair. Lovely look first thing in the morning.
Charlotte Tilbury blush compacts and her Airbrush powder compacts also gave me fits when trying to open them. I always broke a nail. It's a little easier now since I've found a little trick to it but it doesn't always work. I hadn't realized the problem with the Anastasia palettes until you pointed it out. Now I will notice the hell out of it. LOL!!! And Pat McGrath individual blushes are also VERY difficult to open. I agree with EVERYTHING you mentioned as far as annoyance goes!!!
A thousand times YES!!! OMG this was so much fun. I too am a worshipper of Lisa Eldridge and wanted to store all of my golden beauties on top of my vanity on a tray but could not get them to stop fighting with each other!! Very disappointing indeed. Love them otherwise of course. 😂 The extra lid also had me cackling. Why?! Clearly there must be a better design out there. For me I loathe any packaging that will not let me get to every last bit of product!!!
I feel exactly the same as you with all my Lisa E's lipsticks
I can't stand it when packaging makes it impossible for you to get every last little bit out (or close)! If I like a product enough to be hitting pan on it, so to speak, I want to be able to use it all! Foundations, glosses etc. Some packaging is just unnecessarily aggressive in not letting you access all of it. Loved this video, agree with the commenter that said this could be a stand-up routine 😂. You are saying all the things we are all thinking but with excellent delivery!
Totally agree about Lisa Eldridge lipsticks, I have to do the same thing separate them from each other, I thought it only bothered me.🤣❤️ I wish all moisturizers would come in those airless jars. Whenever I have one of those jars after I’m done with the product I’ll wash it out really well and put a different one in it. Now if it’s a pretty jar I’m stuck lifting that plastic lid out cause the jar is so pretty. This was hilarious but also so true, loved this.🥰
I'm with you on the floppy mirrors in palettes, why won't it stand up, I only have two hands I can't hold the palette and apply my shadow, so I end up using my bathroom mirror which the lighting isn't the best or flattering. I also don't like when the mirror doesn't open wide enough, even if it does stand up, I can't get the top row if the pans are small. Agree with amount of product in the packaging, if I'm paying for it, give me the proper amount.
Brilliant! I agree with your comments🤨 I would add I hate glass bottles! Lancome use glass bottles for primer and foundation.The pump stops working before you get to the end of the product! !!
Love the video! The second lid on the skincare products is to reduce the speed of moisture lost and product being dried up quicker. If you have two of the same product one with the second lid on, and one without, you can see the difference after 1-2 months
Lol! I love your rage!😂😊
I have the same magnet issue with my Westman Atelier sticks! They repel each other won’t stand up next to each other in my drawer
So much fun! 😆 I'm with you on the thingy. Go away!!! You look absolutely stunning and like a prima ballerina in that top and hair-do 👌🏼
Yes! My Lisa Eldridge lipstick collection is fighting in my make up drawer and I have to put lipsticks from other in between each LE lipstick to avoid them jumping ship and keep the peace. it's annoying!
Yep...I can relate. I completely gave up on using the mirrors in palettes. It's too much stress in my life.
ohhhhhhhh brilliant!!!!!! I agree with everything Charlotte!!!!!! Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and ABH palette are the worst to me :D I bought a specific acrilic lipstick holder to separate all the magnetics ones
I have an episode that might seem strange, but I have lisa's lipsticks in order of color and type, every time I took one, the others mixed, stuck or fell, messing up the whole order I had assigned to them
soooooo annoying 😆
Proper soapbox rant. Love it. Thought I was the only one who hated the little plastic inserts on skincare. Also agree on the magnets.
I just adore your videos they are truly a hoot !!! I discovered the magnet issue with the BK beauty lipsticks..sliding around messing up the order of things..And speaking of halves can I please have the bottom half of the shirt..Im not 12 and don’t care to show the effects of a mature body !!!
😂😅. I watched other RUclips influences talked about how they would refer the eyes shadow palette mirror open all the way so when they need to look very closely for apply mascara and fake lashes etc… the shadow part won’t hit them in the face. I think the extra lit on a cream jar is for extra seal so the product won’t spill out due to shipping and it last longer until you open it. You can throw it away when open. No need to keep.
Loved this video! I had the same issue with the Gucci blush the first time I tried to open it - so confusing! I feel like they should have just left off the catch since it’s not necessary for opening the product.
I feel you on these! The struggle is real!!!!
You're rant videos (including the"you don't need this" ) are so satisfying to watch 😅. I only wish that all these brands watch as well.
For the double skincare lids, if you put the inner lid down inside the cap while you're using the product you won't get any counter contamination on it and it should fit right into place when you screw the cap back onto the jar. I find that works well and doesn't create extra mess.
I'd also like to put up Westman Atelier and Fenty Beauty compacts as being a pain in the ass to open without risking a fingernail. Add in any kind of joint issue or movement disorder in the hands and they become almost impossible.
Omg i love this!
Magnets = my freaking westman atelier blushes cannot stand next to each other because of the stupid magnet. But since the labels are in the bottom i wanted to store them upside down. Now i need to just stack them or else they fly everywhere.
No mirror = my makeup by mario skin enhancer. Do you know how often i look through my cover expecting to see myself and looking through the cover?....gah it makes me feel so stupid.
Stupid packaging = i have knicked my gucci blush multiple times with my nails trying to open it up and i am livid haha.
Dirty makeup = makeup that should come with a pump applicator and not in a tub or tube like the chantecaille anti aging face tint or even the charlotte tilbury wands. Such dirty packaging
OR pumps that pump wayyyyy to much product ? Hello chanel les beiges blushes gahhh
Lastly, i hate my rose inc applicator because it allways gets so dirty. The hole of the container needs to be a bit smaller to take off some of the product on the way out!
Okay this was a lovely experience and i feel much better hahaha thank you for this video. I love all the products i just mentioned but sometimes i can throw one out of the window.
Yesssss I thought I was the only one that hates the CT “wand” packaging. It is NO wand. 😠 I realize these are well loved and in high demand. I wouldn’t know, I never use mine because the sponge tip idea is so gross to me. Why not just put them in a normal tube?? Who thought of this and what the heck made them think this was a great idea for makeup? Everyone hated her concealer but the contour wand is always sold out?? I don’t get it 🤷🏻♀️ 🤪
@@AllyKit the formula is great but the packaging makes me angry!
“Uhhh, rude.” Exactly. That’s what I say every time I buy something expensive and that money leaves my bank account. Or when I’m so excited that something is finally on sale and then you add shipping and tax and it’s now $2 cheaper than it was originally. I logically know that I’d still be saving on shipping and tax if I bought it full price but it’s such a bummer that I never buy it when that happens
YOU'RE NOT ALONE! Gucci blushes are a pain to open.
Yes! Travel size amount in regular sized packaging... I caught a few brands doing it!
Yup like I needed triples of Divine Rose blush since I bought the original single when it first launched. Again in the Galactic Sun Divine Blush + Glow Trio from the second Bridgerton launch. And now in the Divine Blush + Glow Cheek Palette from the Celestial Nirvana launch. 🤦🏻♀️
Nailed it! I would watch you daily 🥰
Lip Gloss that has such a fat doe foot that it's splatters out gloss when the suction releases it from the bottle.
YOU'RE NOT ALONE!
I feel your frustration because I feel the same way 😡
😂😂😂 I agree with absolutely everything you said!! 😅😂 Can we talk about the tiniest useless mirror in the Pat Magrath Undereye Powder? Like is that a joke?
Even if you wanted to use it, it's powdery and you can't see anything 🤌🏻
Yes! The Lisa magnets and PMG blushes clasps are the worst 😂😂😂
You are hilarious, Charlotte! And completely, totally right about all of these stupid packaging issues!!
The mood you set for this is 🤌🏼 it’s darker than usual, you wore black & put on a red lipstick. Perfection 🤌🏼 😂
Well, well, well said.
A Charlotte Tilbury mascara only lasted for two months and I expect my mascaras to last for three months each.
My Lisa Eldridge lipsticks cling to my eyelash curlers.
With my Juvia's Place palettes, I wedge the plastic cover under one the top corners and that stops the palette lid from slamming shut.
“Bare with me, I need to rehydrate.” Charlotte 🤣😂🤣😂 you’re too much!
😂😂😂 You are so right Charlotte!!!
I looove Lisa Eldridge, but the magnets in her lipsticks drive me crazy!!! I just have a tiny place to store them and it's impossible to keep them side by side 😤.
😘😘😘
the shive on skin care is essential to keep the product protected during the storage i.e. before it is bought and open. Moisture loss is prevented as well..
all my eyeshadow pallettes have lids that stay up because over the years I've not used the other ones and have thrown them in the bin. Great video deserves to go viral x
I hate creams in jars, hate having to stick my fingers in there. Give me tubes, pls!
Hehehe! Spot on! Any recommendations on acrylic makeup storage? I bought some from Amazon and it was terrible 😣
My granddaughter and I each had 2 Lisa Eldridge lipsticks and we had a race down the kitchen countertop, the second lipstick magnetically pushing the first. Hard to open: Pat McGrath blushes and Chantecaille Blur powder.
The packaging magnet rant makes me remember how much I love Natasha denona midi palette packaging.
This is soooo good!!!!! oh my, so funny! I hate jar packaging in general for skincare! whyyyyy..... and these extra lids and stupid spatulas as well!
hahah, couldn't agree more. Lisa's lipsticks are driving me bananas. I also just depotted all of my Pat eyeshadows and now that I can see them side by side half of them look almost identical to one another. :D
That ABH palette lid comes down so hard it shatters the shadows in there. I am repressing those stupid soft powders every time I open it again.
Lol bug bear? Never heard that! So cute and funny and I am stealing that.
