One thing I will say is, thank you for supporting beauty counter advisors and not purchasing most if not all of these online! I just started working as a beauty counter manager at Nordstrom and I had no idea how expensive Sisley was until I started working on the opposite side of one of their counters 😂
@@victorialombardi yes!! Originally I was going to buy online and I remembered that most counters get commission so after that, I had to buy as much as possible in store. Which is way more fun anyway !
I never even thought about this! So thank YOU for the comment! From now on, I will go in store to purchase whatever I can from the beauty counter!❤ I love to support PEOPLE rather than only the big companies/brands that already take an arm and a leg with every purchase!!!
Thank you for saying this. It’s a great reminder. I get so intimidated to ask for help. I feel like I’m expected to buy something and I feel pressure if I decide I don’t like something. Like I wasted the beauty advisors time. And when I go to Neiman’s to spoil myself with a purchase, I’m afraid they can tell that I don’t have a lot of money and will only be buying one or two things. But when I do get help, everyone is always really nice. It’s just my own anxiety.
I much prefer going into the store to buy products rather than buying online. Especially when the item being purchased has to be judged on color, texture & size.
Checking expensive products puts me off I would like to treat myself once a month but I feel buying one is embarassing due to my budget don't drink don't smoke but love a treat if it's only one thanks for your review
@@TrinaP-Fenyes, it should all be tax deductible. Nikki uses everything in her videos & a lot in her make up kit. Although, the IRS may kick up squawk over some of these items.
Fun video, Nikki! A couple of years ago I treated myself to a Dior holiday clutch of makeup. I unboxed it with my daughter who freelances as a makeup artist as a side gig. We had the best time. Probably a once in a lifetime purchase for me, but it was worth it for the fun memory I made with my daughter.
I recently quit a very toxic job. During a VERY stressful (insane) time, I purchased some very high end lipsticks to give to my friends. The idea was that they could pull them out as (a) a reminder of their worth (b) a "shield" against the insanity (c) an indulgent break as a reminder to breathe. I am a big fan of small indulgences!!!!
What a wonderfully thoughtful gift idea! I am sorry about your toxic job. Taking care of yourself is far more important than dealing with office politics or immense amounts of stress from your boss/coworkers. I hope you have a much better job, that helps you to attain a better life balance.
Guerlain Kiss Kiss Gold & Diamond lipstick: $62,000! I was surprised u didn’t have any Clé De Peau Beauté products. They also have a foundation at the same price as La Prairie, $270. Many of their products are unbelievably expensive. Louboutin, I’m pretty sure, makes the most expensive mascara. Your shadow was gorgeous. Loved the whole video.
Sisley concealer is my holy grail! It does oxidize on me as well, but every single concealer I tried does it on me. However it 'conceals' wrinkles under my eyes, not just discoloration. It holds amazingly the whole day - you literally cannot see it on the skin - it blends in and becomes the skin. On another note, the concealer has 15 ml.of product. I've been using mine for 1.5 years, and I still have a full tube. It is definitely worth it.
This is great. Can I buy any of these products? Oh heck no but I’m loving this. Thank you Nikki. Thank you for spending a portion of your retirement for our enjoyment. We will make sure we enjoy it a lot!
The "Death Becomes Her" reference cracks me up because I've seen that lipstick on another RUclipsr's channel and that is the absolute first thing that came to my mind!!!
I bit the bullet and bought the Clé De Peau foundation last week ($270). I was absolutely FLOORED with the result. My skin looked absolutely flawless! I don't know how I'm going to move forward without it because I would consider working more jobs just to keep me in this foundation indefinitely.
Oh I’ve been so intrigued by so many products from Cle’ De Peau - do you mind sharing your skin type? And how easy or hard was it to find a shade match? I haven’t found a department store in my area (or surrounding towns) that stocks CDP in store so I keep talking myself into waiting until I can get my hands on it to swatch.
The La Prairie foundation is worth every penny. Ive had mine for so long and it has barely created even a dip as you use so little and its so beautiful. They also have the cushion version of this foundation which is just as gorgeous and it is more affordable price wise as you do get a bonus extra cushion inside the box. Also I have the Sisley primer. That is way more expensive than the the La Mer and its a fabulous, firming. smoothing primer that enhances any make up that is applied over it.
Nikki!!!! Omg!!! This video is AMAZING and I’ll definitely be saving this for future recommendations and splurges!! My most favorite part of this video is not only you trying these glamorous and beautiful products, sharing your feedback with us, but also you treating yourself (esp to that caviar foundation) to these beautiful products - I know i speak for many when I say you work so freaking hard at your job every day, you give all the best to your clients and to your online community, all the more I’m so happy to see you splurge and treat yourself to these beautiful things too. Adore you and Mitch! Much love to everyone! ❤❤❤
I can't agree with the underlying assumption that price should equal "impact". I think a lot of the luxurious make up is about achieving natural, effortless/elegant effect on the skin (in person) which I personally am there for. Very interesting video - thank you!
@@ievappp yep, exactly! Luxury cosmetics make it easier to get a completely natural finish-my Sisley skin tint has great coverage but even under a *magnifying mirror* you can’t tell I’m wearing anything. It’s like an irl filter I can rub in with my fingers. I’m paying the exorbitant price for the invisible perfecting, ease of use, and mildness on the skin. I’ve gone cheaper-Chanel’s water fresh tint, a variety of drugstore options-but nothing else even comes close. Is it a great pick for someone with acne or rosacea who wants really high coverage? No, but that’s not the purpose of a tint anyways! People who want impact don’t realize the tradeoff is ease of use, and luxury makeup is generally made to melt into your skin even if you have no makeup skills and are using your fingers for application.
@@pearinsomnia9188 I agree. My Sisley tinted moisturizer looks even better as the day goes on! I love it. I love the concealer and I have one lip liner, while I don’t love the color, I appreciate that it is very long lasting. I think those are things being ignored in this video, which I understand, this is only a first impressions-fun-entertaining kind of video, but I would love some follow ups. Also, how would these products work better for more mature skin, since at the end of the day older women are more inclined to use these brands. For example, I have the Sisley blush/highlighter that Nikki didn’t like, I think it is gorgeous!! Subtle and blurring and amazing! It had no chance being applied on top of two very “high impact” highlighters. She should try it as a first step, and consider how it would work for older skin, again, it’s beautiful!
She does have very good taste in jewlery, nice and unique, layers and wears it well. I also catch myself zoning in on a certain piece of jewlery and have to rewind to re listen to what she just said about the makeup.. Beautiful person with really good & cool taste in jewlery, clothes and if course makeup and with her complexion, no doubt she is dedicated with her skincare routine. 💄💋
I have to say I'm impressed with the Hermes eye palette and the Hermes bronzer! I also liked the Sisley liquid eye shadow. Everything else I could easily live without, except I'd like to know how the foundation wears. Super expensive, but sometimes it's just worth the price.
@@KarenGaylor4712 I am still surprised by how much I liked the Hermes products. The formulas were actually stunning and looked even better in person. But I agree with you, most of the products I could easily live without
@@Maggie_Mayhem last week I was at a Sunday school group lunch, which I'll be going to another tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be home before the live is over tomorrow.
Angel, absolutely no forgiveness needed. I’m an Hermès, La Prairie , YSL , Chanel , TF , Guerlain and La Mer woman. If it feels, lasts and looks beautiful on my mature skin , that’s a ✅ for me. Sisley products do not work as good on me. You looked absolutely stunning ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I'm guessing that you are not French because Sisley is indeed considered pricey over here... I just looked up the cost of the brow pencil and it cost €60 so $66 in USD. The Sisley Paris phyto- cernes (concealer) is €90 so $98. Sure that is a lot less than the $130 that Nikki paid in the US but still way too expensive. I'm not cheap but I would not buy it. Btw, just looked up the Sisley bronzer and it's €107 or $117... this IS considered VERY expensive makeup over here as well.
lord knows, i can’t afford anything in this video but i will never miss a nikki video. i’ve heard soooo many people praising the la mer lip balm/plumper. i’ve heard many influencers also praising the hermès bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadow palettes as well. i personally love the hermès highlighter on you more than the valentino. i remember drooling when i first saw pictures of the TF cafe blush on insta, and so many people were singing its praises, but then i found out it was $95 and knew i’d never be lucky enough to get it. i’m not going to lie, that lipstick looks STUNNING on you!!! ♥️♥️♥️ ps… death becomes her was one of my all time favorite movies, and i could watch it hundreds of times!!!
There actually is a Dior $530 lipstick and a clé de peau one for $110! Clé de peau also has a $270 foundation that doesn’t come with a concealer…. Love the look you created, though. Btw, I have heard from several RUclipsrs that the Sisley blur powder is recommended to be used under foundation and they went from not liking the product to loving it used that way.
Yes, there’s Dior $530 lipstick, but the price comes not from the lipstick itself but for the limited edition hand painted case, so it’s not fair to say that the lipstick itself is the most expensive. There’s Guerlain lipstick case for $60,000 - believe it or not 😮 but again, the price comes from the gold case encrusted with diamonds. 🤷🏼♀️
Agreed! Especially for mature skin, u r paying for products with skin care ingredients. Less is more. I always use Chantecaille, Sisley, CHANEL to create a beautiful natural canvas. It’s money well spent. 😊
In my option the About face foundation that is $20 is a nice alternative for la paire. It doesn’t have caviar in it but if I wanted that I would add it to my skin care routine.
Maybe Patrick ta double take cream & powder blush in the shade she’s blushing as an alternative for TF blush shade. I can’t speak for the formula. This is fun!! 😂
I actually love the Sisley Bronzer. Overal the brand Sisley is about lighter and more sofiaticated make up. I feel you would enjoy some of the products more without layering them with other products 😊. I do not own the Sisley Blur powder but I have seen from other videos that people use it as a primer. I have been eyeing the Hermes eyeshadows in a while but have not pulled the triger yet 😅! Another high end brand that people are raving about is Cle de Peau 😊
The tears of joy flowing down my face are courtesy of La Prarie foundation and powder! 😭 I thoroughly enjoyed watching this!! The lipstick container of the Lou bouton lipstick referencing the fountain of youth potion from Death Becomes Her was so perfect!! I must have watched that movie 30 times back in the day lol. You may have mentioned it and I just missed it, but the Hermès highlighter was embossed with an H. 😍 Perfect video, thanks again!! 🩷
Great video. After watching this video it seems to me that the target clients are not women who are looking for innovative or ground breaking products. It’s clients who want luxury and classic formulations and shades. When I was still working pre-retirement I would buy Sisley regularly. It gave me the aesthetic I was looking for
You look absolutely beautiful and it looks expensive. I think your lips did look fuller. The eye makeup was incredible and the lipstick shade on you blew me away. The entire look was so you, I loved iiiit
I truly appreciate this video and its 1 hour long format. I thought that you’d just be floored and all praises but you gave it an honest critique. Of pricey makeup, I am in love with the Chantecaille brow pencil. Worth every penny even compared with the Shu Uemura ones.
Beautiful Nikki! ❤ I am always in shock when I buy your reccomendations. You have never failed me! I invested in your BK beauty brushes and those are the best tools I have ever used! Xo's from Croatia
I take this as an endorsement of Hermes as a brand. I have 2 of their lipsticks at $80 which is literally insanity. I would never buy a $70 eye pencil. No way. And I own the La Mer primer. But I got it at an Estee sale
Nikki, A long time ago I ran the LaPrarie counter in Saks Fifth Avenue, at that time it was only skin. Everyday I had to beat the figures from the year prior. It was without a doubt the most stressful job I ever had and I thank god it was only 4 hours per day, and I got burned out quickly, so I left after a few years. The competition was fierce with the other cosmetic counters, especially Chanel. You look beautiful! There is a story that goes behind the scenes of the original caviar.
I had the foundation, splurged on it for my wedding day, as I did my own makeup. It was nice, but never got any use out of the concealer, too cakey. It is very similar to Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Foundation, which is better imho and costs much less. Very similar formula. Btw, Sisley is pronounced like Sis'ly, not Sisely (there is no e before the l, and so not like Sicily).
I found this to be so much more interesting than a drugstore haul. Sick to death of those. I love seeing the beautiful packaging and whether the product meets that expectation. I was really surprised at the Hermes makeup and one of these days may just have to splurge on either the eyeshadows or the bronzer. Both were so gorgeous. Interested in that powder as well. I have heard of that before. Thanks for such interesting content.
@@RockiDreams I’m so thrilled you enjoyed this one and thank you for watching !!! It’s good to switch it up sometimes for sure. and same here- super surprised by the Hermes! ❤️👏🏼
Couldn’t agree more about drugstore dupes and hauls! Nothing wrong with them at all, but they seem to be every other video creators do so there’s plenty of content for those interested.
Agreed!!!! I also wish influencers, content creators, MUA - whichever title they prefer, would not get such negative feedback from people when they upload a video with luxury priced goodies - no person on any of these various platforms knows the household finances of the thousands of people who watch their videos - people of all budgets and walks of life watch online content - I appreciate the ones who still feature products from brands I’m inclined to spend money on. Ive had my eye on the Hermes products featured here for sometime - and if I had a store within driving distance to me that sells Le Prairie, I would have already grabbed the foundation.
@@MakeupbynikkilaroseI neeeeed a chocolate lipliner... They're all so cool toned or they go plum. Can you recommend a dupe for that gorge sisley liner??
Nikki your make up look flawless and don’t regret buying these purchases. If you have the money enjoyed. 2 years ago I purchased La Prairie Foundation, concealer and pressed powder and holy makeup!! It was stunning ❤
Nikki, when you have a moment, would you please let us know how well the Sisley liquid shadow lasted through the day. Great content. Thank you for all your work on this and all other videos.
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t ever buy very expensive makeup but I would consider treating myself to a few lux products so this was great!! I would love to see a video with all YOUR favorite lux products in the future! ❤
Nikki: You rock! I get so much enjoyment from watching your videos telling us the 411 of the makeup world. It doesn't get any better than you. Everything I've bought makeup wise is because of your influence. You tell it like it is and everything you recommend is stellar. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Hey Nikki!! I have been watching your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos! you are so incredibly talented at makeup and you are such an inspiration! thank you for all of your hard work and you are amazing🩷🩷
You look AMAZING!!!! Side note: LaPrairie products made me so sensitive omg…my whole face skin peeled when i tried their products. Highly scented as well :(
The sisley concealer is wonderful i use it as a color corrector and on an everyday basis I use it as both corrector and concealer! Always looks flawless! Thanks so much for the video! Amazing! ❤
You'd make a great Morticia Adams. The finished look reminds me of the Classic Morticia. Very classy. The actual price makes my eyes-bug out like a cartoon. lol
Nikki, your skin always looks amazing, honestly, but today it’s unbelievable! I have always believed, no matter how products try to dupe luxury, they never dupe the quality. I say it from experience!
$280 for a foundation? Wow! I previously splurged on La Mer at $150, and it's nice, but honestly, I feel like it was a "wasted" expense. I purchased it before I found your videos (which are SOOO informative). I'd also like to add that it was an online, cross your fingers that the shade matches, that your skin will adapt, and also was purchased after a 16 hour night shift. (Really need to ban myself from my phone on mornings after). Anyway, thank you for every single video that you post, but I love this one. The information about oxidation was something that I will definitely take note of.
That foundation looks so good on you! Ahh, Nikki this video was not good for my budget! 😅 i haven’t gotten to the end yet but excited to hear which were your favorite and what you might repurchase ?
Yes, the Sisley concealer is ridiculously expensive, but one tube will last me 2+ years. On me, shade 1 is an all-in-one color corrector and concealer that never settles into my fine lines. All Sisley products are made with fairy dust, and this one product is no exception. The Sisley Blur Powder works amazingly well as a primer (Wayne Goss method).
Yes I have the shade & illuminate TF foundation & it's lasted me just over 2 years. It was definitely worth every penny I think it was £120 or around that price.
I LOVE this unique (pricey) video!! It’s more informative than drugstore bc I can easily try drugstore myself. But at these prices, I am NOT flippantly going out and buying without knowing beforehand. I’m definitely going to splurge on the Hermes bronzer!!! 😅thank you!!!!
Oh My Heart Nikki, absolutely STUNNING ! I’ve got to p/u those Bronzers for sure. This was so much fun and at the same time seeing how the “ Most Expensive “ makeup products work. Thank you so so much Nikki for shopping and purchasing a full face of the Most Expensive. Your amazing.
Hey Nikki! Can you please do a back to school makeup look. Maybe a concealer only look? OR maybe a video on makeup for beginners and how to do simple eyeshadow?? I never know how to do eye shadow
This was a very good video. I wish you would have commented a bit more on the foundation, whether you felt it was worth it, how it felt on the skin, how it dried down etc.
Omgeee wow 😮. Thanks for sharing this and taking the hit for us! I like the Hermes highlighter more.if I could afford it honestly I’d buy the foundation and powder. Love that movie! Thanks Nikki!
I do like La Prarie! I was hoping for Valmont in the video. I’m sure this was a shocking purchase. TF Cafe Rose will be an item you change your mind about. It’s exceptional.
This video was SO MUCH FUN to watch! I loved seeing your first impression reactions to the "worth it" products, which you tried not to fall in love with. The final look was beautiful (and looked expensive 😊)
Heck yes girl you better use that gorgeous bronzer!! No shame in using what you bought! And shoot it's nice to see when those expensive products are more than just packaging or a name!!! Loved this! And you are just stunning!!! 💕
What I learn watching you is that even combining a $250 concealer with another $90 concealer layered over all of the other boujie products doesn’t cover dark circles. Well now that should make one feel better. This is so fun. Thanks!
Love this! Would love to see you try Koh Gen Doh-the price point baffles me! Luzurn Skincare is a favorite the mist is $85. 😅 Also curious if you have tried the Prada eyeshadows the colors look amazing but $80 for 4 colors!
Oh I love KGD- The KGD Moisture foundation is my most used and most repurchased of all my foundations - comparing it against Dior, Nars, Valentino, Lancôme , Chantecaille, Pat McGrath, Armani. If you have not tried it or don’t know your shade match - you can get samples from Camera Ready Cosmetics.
The powder shadows and the liquid shadow was stunning. A beautiful everyday set. Loved this video!! Thank you. I felt like we were all experiencing them.
Wonderful, fun tutorial, beautiful products, stunning results! Thoroughly enjoyed but this is the first time I’ve watched a Nikki LaRose tutorial and didn’t immediately go to the product list for possible purchase!?! Like all fantasy “shows”, thanks for the fun and entertaining video.
Okay, you look amazing. You truly do, but I've honestly seen you look amazing using far more affordably priced items. I'm curious to hear your continued feedback on the foundation and powder (yes, complexion products are my week spot), but my jaw was on the floor every time you gave the price of one of the items you were using. Use them A LOT, because you've certainly earned the right to indulge yourself and you truly do look amazing. As for me, I'll continue to feel guilty when I splurge on an Hourglass lipstick, LOL!
I have the Sisley Concealer in Shade 2 and it also oxidizes to a peach / orange color. That doesn't look good with my cool, rosy undertones on light-medium skin. I prefer my Hourglass concealer!! 🩷 I do have to say your skin looks beautiful in this video even before any bronzer or blush!! 💕
What did you think of the La Prairie concealer foundation? How did it wear and would you recommend it? If you liked it, do you think there is another comparable product to it? Really enjoyed this video Nikki. Thank you.
I prefer my drugstore/high end face. It's been fun (and expensive) searching for what exactly works for me, but worth it now that I know exactly what to get that I'll love. And I was able to find products that work between $4 to $55 W tax included.
Hi Nikki, are you familiar with Koh Gen Doh cosmetics? I heard it's used on many Hollywood celebs when they're filming on set. It's also a very expensive brand. I've always been curious to try it but the price point is totally not within my budget.
I've seen their foundations on YesStyle are around 50€ right now ,probably they changed the prices a little,but is hard to choose a shade without see someone review it.
I was under the impression that the Sisely blur powder ( to actually achieve the blurring effect) is supposed to be used as a priming step and not as a setting or finishing step. How do you use it? ❤

Thank you for the total!!
Math in real life!
I told my husband this and he quite literally fell to the floor and screamed 😂
Tax deductible???😂
@@TrinaP-Fenyes, it should all be tax deductible. Nikki uses everything in her videos & a lot in her make up kit. Although, the IRS may kick up squawk over some of these items.

Beautiful person with really good & cool taste in jewlery, clothes and if course makeup and with her complexion, no doubt she is dedicated with her skincare routine. 💄💋
Yes!!!!
I'm here for luxury products...let's not downplay it. Luxury is luxury for a reason. Love it!
Your ridiculous
@@dawnwalus6777 you can’t spell
@dawnwalus6777 What of theirs is ridiculous? Your sentence insinuates they possess something ridiculous.
I am loving the big red x and the buzzer! ❤ 😂
@@1plus1equals25 I’m so happy to hear that! Was hoping it wouldn’t be annoying !
The finished look is giving me Cher vibes❤😊
I have to say I'm impressed with the Hermes eye palette and the Hermes bronzer! I also liked the Sisley liquid eye shadow. Everything else I could easily live without, except I'd like to know how the foundation wears. Super expensive, but sometimes it's just worth the price.
@@KarenGaylor4712 I am still surprised by how much I liked the Hermes products. The formulas were actually stunning and looked even better in person. But I agree with you, most of the products I could easily live without
Hey Karen! I haven't seen you at a live the past couple weeks and was wondering about you. 💜🤍
@@Maggie_Mayhem last week I was at a Sunday school group lunch, which I'll be going to another tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be home before the live is over tomorrow.
Angel, absolutely no forgiveness needed. I’m an Hermès, La Prairie , YSL , Chanel , TF , Guerlain and La Mer woman. If it feels, lasts and looks beautiful on my mature skin , that’s a ✅ for me. Sisley products do not work as good on me. You looked absolutely stunning ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
I loved that you said Let's sprinkle a little Drugstore on here. Salt this look with Drugstore. What a great and fun video! Have a great Saturday!
All the Hermes shadows are gorgeous. The highlighter was definitely too intense for me. Love their blushes, lipsticks, lipgloss.
How long do the lipsticks last?
I looove the la prairie foundation!! So good!
And I found the Valentino highlighter prettier ✨✨
Can you do full face of Chanel? Thank you, love your videos. The long format are so good ♥️
It s funny because in France Sisley is not so expensive ! Chantecaille for example is way way more expensive ! Thank you Nikki
Also Amazon has great prices too
I noticed that when i was at the airport. Lipstick was about $25 cheaper than nordstrom
I'm guessing that you are not French because Sisley is indeed considered pricey over here... I just looked up the cost of the brow pencil and it cost €60 so $66 in USD.
The Sisley Paris phyto- cernes (concealer) is €90 so $98. Sure that is a lot less than the $130 that Nikki paid in the US but still way too expensive. I'm not cheap but I would not buy it.
Btw, just looked up the Sisley bronzer and it's €107 or $117... this IS considered VERY expensive makeup over here as well.
@@Canuckbelgo she has a channel and appears very French. How are you going to tell someone they are not their nationality. That seems very rude.
Sisley is expensive EVERYWHERE, even France!
Omg, I remember Mel Thompson loving this foundation! She didn’t really use the concealer either.❤
Mel loved the loose powder as well. I miss her :(
❤❤❤ Love this video!!! 103 minutes went by like 15. You are the BEST 👌
lord knows, i can’t afford anything in this video but i will never miss a nikki video. i’ve heard soooo many people praising the la mer lip balm/plumper. i’ve heard many influencers also praising the hermès bronzer, highlighter and eyeshadow palettes as well. i personally love the hermès highlighter on you more than the valentino. i remember drooling when i first saw pictures of the TF cafe blush on insta, and so many people were singing its praises, but then i found out it was $95 and knew i’d never be lucky enough to get it. i’m not going to lie, that lipstick looks STUNNING on you!!! ♥️♥️♥️
ps… death becomes her was one of my all time favorite movies, and i could watch it hundreds of times!!!
I gave in and bought that Tom Ford cream Cafe Blush and Wow it’s amazing! It’s my favorite blush hands down! ❤
There actually is a Dior $530 lipstick and a clé de peau one for $110! Clé de peau also has a $270 foundation that doesn’t come with a concealer…. Love the look you created, though. Btw, I have heard from several RUclipsrs that the Sisley blur powder is recommended to be used under foundation and they went from not liking the product to loving it used that way.
Yes, there’s Dior $530 lipstick, but the price comes not from the lipstick itself but for the limited edition hand painted case, so it’s not fair to say that the lipstick itself is the most expensive. There’s Guerlain lipstick case for $60,000 - believe it or not 😮 but again, the price comes from the gold case encrusted with diamonds. 🤷🏼♀️
@@elenapolshakov3837 ok, fair enough 😀
Agreed! Especially for mature skin, u r paying for products with skin care ingredients. Less is more. I always use Chantecaille, Sisley, CHANEL to create a beautiful natural canvas. It’s money well spent. 😊
@@elenapolshakov3837 you are right, but it applies also to the Valentino Highlighter then 😉
The caviar powder is incredible. You get like 5 oz, and the little guy is great for travel. The La Prarie Foundation is great, too.
The Valentino highlighter looked gorgeous and I love the packaging ❤
Nikki you are BEST for doing this! Been curious about a few of these products but the price has always held me back!
Can you do a video with dupes/alternative products to the most expensive? Beautiful look
In my option the About face foundation that is $20 is a nice alternative for la paire. It doesn’t have caviar in it but if I wanted that I would add it to my skin care routine.
@@WendyFerguson-e7y I can definitely work on that for sure, great idea!
@@Sarita_673 agreed!!
Maybe the elf $2 cream glide lip liner… either way they’re amazing.
Maybe Patrick ta double take cream & powder blush in the shade she’s blushing as an alternative for TF blush shade. I can’t speak for the formula. This is fun!! 😂
I actually love the Sisley Bronzer. Overal the brand Sisley is about lighter and more sofiaticated make up. I feel you would enjoy some of the products more without layering them with other products 😊. I do not own the Sisley Blur powder but I have seen from other videos that people use it as a primer. I have been eyeing the Hermes eyeshadows in a while but have not pulled the triger yet 😅! Another high end brand that people are raving about is Cle de Peau 😊
The tears of joy flowing down my face are courtesy of La Prarie foundation and powder! 😭 I thoroughly enjoyed watching this!! The lipstick container of the Lou bouton lipstick referencing the fountain of youth potion from Death Becomes Her was so perfect!! I must have watched that movie 30 times back in the day lol. You may have mentioned it and I just missed it, but the Hermès highlighter was embossed with an H. 😍
Perfect video, thanks again!! 🩷
Please do another video like this in a few months trying more luxury makeup and skincare. 🙏🏻
That red lip is wow on you. Maybe my favourite part of the video.
@@felicityestrin9289 me too!! This lipstick I will definitely be wearing on special occasions
Love this red brick lipstick on you 🤩
Great video. After watching this video it seems to me that the target clients are not women who are looking for innovative or ground breaking products. It’s clients who want luxury and classic formulations and shades. When I was still working pre-retirement I would buy Sisley regularly. It gave me the aesthetic I was looking for
Correct. I buy Chanel for its consistently good products.
You look absolutely beautiful and it looks expensive. I think your lips did look fuller. The eye makeup was incredible and the lipstick shade on you blew me away. The entire look was so you, I loved iiiit
I can’t imagine spending this much money on any of these items but the look does look beautiful!
I truly appreciate this video and its 1 hour long format. I thought that you’d just be floored and all praises but you gave it an honest critique.
Of pricey makeup, I am in love with the Chantecaille brow pencil. Worth every penny even compared with the Shu Uemura ones.
Beautiful Nikki! ❤ I am always in shock when I buy your reccomendations. You have never failed me! I invested in your BK beauty brushes and those are the best tools I have ever used!
Xo's from Croatia
@@anngee2612 oh my gosh thank you SO MUCH!!! And sending you love back to Croatia!❤️☺️
Such a fun video! Living vicariously through you!! The final look is gorgeous 💝
@@kristaviv this video was painful and super fun at the same time 😅😅😅
Now that’s the content I‘m looking for 🔥🔥🔥
@@serena-9482 I hope you enjoyed this one!
@@MakeupbynikkilaroseYES!!
I take this as an endorsement of Hermes as a brand. I have 2 of their lipsticks at $80 which is literally insanity. I would never buy a $70 eye pencil. No way. And I own the La Mer primer. But I got it at an Estee sale
That La Prairie loose powder used to be around $70 back in 2018. Then it was "discontinued" and the new version came with an insane price tag.
Greedflation.
Amazing!!!
I was working for La Prairie for 10 yrs, it runs in my blood. The Caviar foundation looks great on you!
Thank you for this make up look❤
What product(s) are your favourites?
OMG that lipstick is to die for. I could never spend that on one piece of makeup but that packaging is gorgeous. Love your videos.
Nikki, A long time ago I ran the LaPrarie counter in Saks Fifth Avenue, at that time it was only skin. Everyday I had to beat the figures from the year prior. It was without a doubt the most stressful job I ever had and I thank god it was only 4 hours per day, and I got burned out quickly, so I left after a few years. The competition was fierce with the other cosmetic counters, especially Chanel. You look beautiful! There is a story that goes behind the scenes of the original caviar.
Nikki you should do a video “how to use your fsa funds”. Thats La Praire foundation has spf so it should qualify for FSA and HSA use!
Oh that liquid eye shadow was banging ❤
I had the foundation, splurged on it for my wedding day, as I did my own makeup. It was nice, but never got any use out of the concealer, too cakey. It is very similar to Lisa Eldridge's Seamless Skin Foundation, which is better imho and costs much less. Very similar formula. Btw, Sisley is pronounced like Sis'ly, not Sisely (there is no e before the l, and so not like Sicily).
I found this to be so much more interesting than a drugstore haul. Sick to death of those. I love seeing the beautiful packaging and whether the product meets that expectation. I was really surprised at the Hermes makeup and one of these days may just have to splurge on either the eyeshadows or the bronzer. Both were so gorgeous. Interested in that powder as well. I have heard of that before. Thanks for such interesting content.
@@RockiDreams I’m so thrilled you enjoyed this one and thank you for watching !!! It’s good to switch it up sometimes for sure. and same here- super surprised by the Hermes! ❤️👏🏼
Couldn’t agree more about drugstore dupes and hauls! Nothing wrong with them at all, but they seem to be every other video creators do so there’s plenty of content for those interested.
Agreed!!!! I also wish influencers, content creators, MUA - whichever title they prefer, would not get such negative feedback from people when they upload a video with luxury priced goodies - no person on any of these various platforms knows the household finances of the thousands of people who watch their videos - people of all budgets and walks of life watch online content - I appreciate the ones who still feature products from brands I’m inclined to spend money on.
Ive had my eye on the Hermes products featured here for sometime - and if I had a store within driving distance to me that sells Le Prairie, I would have already grabbed the foundation.
@@MakeupbynikkilaroseI neeeeed a chocolate lipliner... They're all so cool toned or they go plum. Can you recommend a dupe for that gorge sisley liner??
same. gimme some bling
Nikki your make up look flawless and don’t regret buying these purchases. If you have the money enjoyed. 2 years ago I purchased La Prairie Foundation, concealer and pressed powder and holy makeup!! It was stunning ❤
I’m so excited to watch this!! My wallet is very nervous though 😂 Thabk you Nikki!! This is really taking one for the team!!
@@adriennef7219 omg adrienne hide your wallet 💳 😂😂🫣🫣 but I hope you enjoy it!!!!!
Nikki, when you have a moment, would you please let us know how well the Sisley liquid shadow lasted through the day. Great content. Thank you for all your work on this and all other videos.
I really enjoyed this video. I don’t ever buy very expensive makeup but I would consider treating myself to a few lux products so this was great!! I would love to see a video with all YOUR favorite lux products in the future! ❤
The Cicely eye shadow really is the star to me! Stunning!
I love this! ideas for more videos: most expensive skincare, most expensive makeup brushes
Nikki: You rock! I get so much enjoyment from watching your videos telling us the 411 of the makeup world. It doesn't get any better than you. Everything I've bought makeup wise is because of your influence. You tell it like it is and everything you recommend is stellar. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!
Hey Nikki!! I have been watching your channel for a while now and I just wanted to say that I really enjoy watching your videos! you are so incredibly talented at makeup and you are such an inspiration! thank you for all of your hard work and you are amazing🩷🩷
@@CamrynCarter-wx2es omg thank you so much for the sweet compliment! I really appreciate your kind words and support !!!❤️🥹🥹❤️
Hermes Highlighter is THE BEST in make up industry! It's not too obvious yet it highlights in just right way, very natural. I LOVE it.
Loved this video! Thank you for always being so down to earth. “Clean up in aisle 4” had me laughing. Out. Loud. ❤
You’re so reflective In A good way!!very high-end looking
You look AMAZING!!!! Side note: LaPrairie products made me so sensitive omg…my whole face skin peeled when i tried their products. Highly scented as well :(
The sisley concealer is wonderful i use it as a color corrector and on an everyday basis I use it as both corrector and concealer! Always looks flawless! Thanks so much for the video! Amazing! ❤
You'd make a great Morticia Adams. The finished look reminds me of the Classic Morticia. Very classy. The actual price makes my eyes-bug out like a cartoon. lol
That Sisley Paris liquid eyeshadow is stunning.
Nikki, your skin always looks amazing, honestly, but today it’s unbelievable! I have always believed, no matter how products try to dupe luxury, they never dupe the quality. I say it from experience!
Super FUN and intriguing full-face video with high-end makeup 💄! Loved it, and your application is always top-notch!
$280 for a foundation?
Wow!
I previously splurged on La Mer at $150, and it's nice, but honestly, I feel like it was a "wasted" expense. I purchased it before I found your videos (which are SOOO informative). I'd also like to add that it was an online, cross your fingers that the shade matches, that your skin will adapt, and also was purchased after a 16 hour night shift. (Really need to ban myself from my phone on mornings after).
Anyway, thank you for every single video that you post, but I love this one. The information about oxidation was something that I will definitely take note of.
That foundation looks so good on you! Ahh, Nikki this video was not good for my budget! 😅 i haven’t gotten to the end yet but excited to hear which were your favorite and what you might repurchase ?
That foundation was flawless! As a dry skin girl, I'd love to hear how it wore.
Yes, the Sisley concealer is ridiculously expensive, but one tube will last me 2+ years. On me, shade 1 is an all-in-one color corrector and concealer that never settles into my fine lines. All Sisley products are made with fairy dust, and this one product is no exception. The Sisley Blur Powder works amazingly well as a primer (Wayne Goss method).
What do you mean they’re made with fairy dust 🤣
I’m definitely tempted.
Yes I have the shade & illuminate TF foundation & it's lasted me just over 2 years. It was definitely worth every penny I think it was £120 or around that price.
@@AnyaAnnika67 - Think of all the money we save not trying other concealers.
Yes love the Sisley concealer and it lasted 2 years.❤
Omg- that TF cream blush shade is gorgeous! 💖
I LOVE this unique (pricey) video!! It’s more informative than drugstore bc I can easily try drugstore myself. But at these prices, I am NOT flippantly going out and buying without knowing beforehand. I’m definitely going to splurge on the Hermes bronzer!!! 😅thank you!!!!
Oh My Heart Nikki, absolutely STUNNING ! I’ve got to p/u those Bronzers for sure. This was so much fun and at the same time seeing how the “ Most Expensive “ makeup products work. Thank you so so much Nikki for shopping and purchasing a full face of the Most Expensive. Your amazing.
Hey Nikki! Can you please do a back to school makeup look. Maybe a concealer only look? OR maybe a video on makeup for beginners and how to do simple eyeshadow?? I never know how to do eye shadow
Nikki, this is the first time I've watched you - and now I'm a huge fan! Love your honesty and sincerity. Thank you and I'm yours!
This was a very good video. I wish you would have commented a bit more on the foundation, whether you felt it was worth it, how it felt on the skin, how it dried down etc.
Omgeee wow 😮. Thanks for sharing this and taking the hit for us! I like the Hermes highlighter more.if I could afford it honestly I’d buy the foundation and powder. Love that movie! Thanks Nikki!
I do like La Prarie! I was hoping for Valmont in the video. I’m sure this was a shocking purchase. TF Cafe Rose will be an item you change your mind about. It’s exceptional.
@@jessabeauty917 okay good that’s what I want to hear!!! And I found out after filming this that they had more than skincare 🫠🫠
This video was SO MUCH FUN to watch! I loved seeing your first impression reactions to the "worth it" products, which you tried not to fall in love with. The final look was beautiful (and looked expensive 😊)
Imagining Nikki walking into Sephra with a Miner’s hat on!!😂😂😂😂Someone get her a headlamp Stat!😂😂😍💕😍💕
@@deborahmitchell8414 😂😂😂😂
Heck yes girl you better use that gorgeous bronzer!! No shame in using what you bought! And shoot it's nice to see when those expensive products are more than just packaging or a name!!! Loved this! And you are just stunning!!! 💕
What I learn watching you is that even combining a $250 concealer with another $90 concealer layered over all of the other boujie products doesn’t cover dark circles. Well now that should make one feel better. This is so fun. Thanks!
Love the look. Love ,love , the 💄 💋.
Love this! Would love to see you try Koh Gen Doh-the price point baffles me! Luzurn Skincare is a favorite the mist is $85. 😅 Also curious if you have tried the Prada eyeshadows the colors look amazing but $80 for 4 colors!
Oh I love KGD- The KGD Moisture foundation is my most used and most repurchased of all my foundations - comparing it against Dior, Nars, Valentino, Lancôme , Chantecaille, Pat McGrath, Armani.
If you have not tried it or don’t know your shade match - you can get samples from Camera Ready Cosmetics.
@@missyscarborough8300 def will need to try been curious for a while now!
The powder shadows and the liquid shadow was stunning. A beautiful everyday set. Loved this video!! Thank you. I felt like we were all experiencing them.
Yay another video!! Thanks for all your hard work guys!!!
@@Leela1212 thank YOU so much for watching !!
Wonderful, fun tutorial, beautiful products, stunning results! Thoroughly enjoyed but this is the first time I’ve watched a Nikki LaRose tutorial and didn’t immediately go to the product list for possible purchase!?! Like all fantasy “shows”, thanks for the fun and entertaining video.
Okay, you look amazing. You truly do, but I've honestly seen you look amazing using far more affordably priced items. I'm curious to hear your continued feedback on the foundation and powder (yes, complexion products are my week spot), but my jaw was on the floor every time you gave the price of one of the items you were using. Use them A LOT, because you've certainly earned the right to indulge yourself and you truly do look amazing. As for me, I'll continue to feel guilty when I splurge on an Hourglass lipstick, LOL!
Waoo estoy disfrutando y aprendiendo mucho de tus videos gratis 🥰🥳, te veo desde Colombia 🇨🇴
I have the Sisley Concealer in Shade 2 and it also oxidizes to a peach / orange color. That doesn't look good with my cool, rosy undertones on light-medium skin. I prefer my Hourglass concealer!! 🩷 I do have to say your skin looks beautiful in this video even before any bronzer or blush!! 💕
What did you think of the La Prairie concealer foundation? How did it wear and would you recommend it? If you liked it, do you think there is another comparable product to it? Really enjoyed this video Nikki. Thank you.
I prefer my drugstore/high end face. It's been fun (and expensive) searching for what exactly works for me, but worth it now that I know exactly what to get that I'll love. And I was able to find products that work between $4 to $55 W tax included.
@@iamzmodel I love me some drugstore products!! Thank you for watching this one!
@@Makeupbynikkilaroseof course! It was fun. Thanks for expirementing for us. 😊
Hi Nikki, are you familiar with Koh Gen Doh cosmetics? I heard it's used on many Hollywood celebs when they're filming on set. It's also a very expensive brand. I've always been curious to try it but the price point is totally not within my budget.
I've seen their foundations on YesStyle are around 50€ right now ,probably they changed the prices a little,but is hard to choose a shade without see someone review it.
I agree about the Sisley powder. I have it and it’s amazing!!
I was under the impression that the Sisely blur powder ( to actually achieve the blurring effect) is supposed to be used as a priming step and not as a setting or finishing step. How do you use it? ❤
@@katieharris7219I use it on the T zone. Never underneath. I’ll try that next time.
