That's so interesting about the Armani Luminous silk and the color match. It's also my favorite and one of the main reasons is because it gives my cool toned skin the best shade match out there.
Have you considered doing the Patrick Ta method w those cream blushes? Like put a powder blush down first and the cream on top. I get not having to do a lot to make a product work but maybe try for those products you cannot get yourself to part with🤷♀️
I initially didn’t like the eyeshadow but after you applied mascara; I did. But if you aren’t going to use it; get rid of it. I hope Jon feels better soon. It sucks to be sick at Christmas time. Happy Holidays to you & Jon!
I feel so validated because I HATEEE the Mario blushes. And I, too, fell into the hype and bought three. Yes, three. They're so so greasy, ugh. I do really like the VB Eyewear on you; I think it's super pretty and makes your eyes look icy!
I agree with you 1000 percent on the Phytosuegence eye shadow going hard and the Makeup Forever lip liners I didn't like either. I had two the Wherever Walnut shade and something caffeine can't remember exactly what it was called. I purchased both last year and both went to my mom, roughhhhhh. I don't get the hype! I kept hearing myself saying "yes!!!" All throughout your video in agreement. Kait, just get rid of them don't second guess yourself you're a smart lady who knows what you like. I could see you becoming more of a minimalist makeup channel and I'm so here for it. I love to see the same stuff over and over again because it means you truly love it, are smart af for saving money too! 😊
@@StateofKait my opinion is you go girl! You're absolutely amazing and I'm doing the same thing. I'm tired of all the shit coming out just want to save money and own what I love! I feel like 95 percent of what comes out it loaded with fragrance and my skin is so clear now that I got rid of anything with fragrance as I'm highly sensitive I don't even wear foundation no need!
@@StateofKait also did you notice a weird film on the bottom of some of your phytosugence shadows? I will not be buying anymore from them. I wrote them and they did refund one shadow but the way they speak to customers I won't be returning. I bought a bunch of stuff in July and all of my shadows are hard! And weird white film on the bottom and in some of the actual shadows.
@@steph4230 Weird, I haven't seen any weird film on the bottom of the shadows but I have had stability issues with all of their products so I won't purchase from them until that's fixed :/
I remember being so pumped for the Mario blushes to come out when they were teased on Trendmood. And then they were launched and I found the color range to be sooooo waah waaaaaaah. I decided to wait for the reviews and while there wasn't anything overly negative said about them, there also wasn't anything said that excited me. I eventually swatched them in Sephora and suspicions were confirmed - too dewy, don't like the colors. I'm getting better at pushing through the hype now and really considering my purchases. I only want products that I am going to use consistently. It's also the reason that I own only one foundation and it's a tinted moisturizer. I hate wearing foundation and I hardly ever use it. I'm lucky that my complexion is pretty decent, so I just use concealer but even still - I sometimes find myself getting pulled in by foundation hype. Hype is hard to push through!
I'm struggling because the normal consumer in me wants a MUCH smaller collection, but the RUclipsr in me knows that I have to buy new products to be successful - unless I pivot to an entirely different type of content, and then I'd lose a big portion of my audience. It's hard, I'm trying to strike a balance.
Oh totally! And "pushing through the hype" is not a dig or recommendation at all to you - trying new products is what your channel is all about. It's just something I've only just started to get good at in my own personal buying habits. Your content is the best! The reason I value your channel above so many is that you try hyped products but always tell it like it is.
watching a vid before going to a hockey game. and the sound you made when you dropped things made me laugh, its just like daffy duck. congrats to you on your new home, if i had to get less closet space i would go on strike. biggest fear ever haha. listening to john trying the makeup lingo was hilarious, but he got some of the points. hope your day is going great and your well. love ya
I like the eye shadow, it looks good with your eye color. But if you don't like it, then get rid of it. There are too many good products out there to spend time "making it work".
The Victoria Beckham pencil looks actually great on you, it makes your eyes color pop, but it’s just my opinion. What is really beautiful is how you are looking at your man. That is love 💗
I think the cool lean of Phytosurgence eyeshadows is why I love them. They do harden, maybe, but they pick up no problem for me. The blushes do the same, so I don’t have an issue. They last well on me! And I need to get that eyebrow pencil, I need a cool brown!
the eyeshadow might look better if you put a lighter color, like a champagne, on the inner third of the lid. that would add some contrast and dimension, which is currently missing and what might be making it look not quite right with your natural coloring/contrast levels.
Kait - I think you are so supremely beautiful. You remind me a lot of my amazing cousin whom I absolutely adore. …. That being said - wow I cannot believe how bad that Mario blush looks on you. Wth! I have it as well and it doesn’t go wet on me like that. Thank you for this video! I’m a former minimalist and my makeup stash has gotten a bit overwhelmingly large. You inspired me to go through it without making a bunch of exceptions for quality ~~~just in case~~. ❤ love to you!
that foundation brush looks soooo soft. i reallllly love phytosurgence and the blushes are on my wishlist. all the brow products always runs suuuper warm on me, and i’ve been searching for a cool brown. i love hearing jon’s thoughts on makeup. best of luck on your move!!! 🥰🥰🥰
I like the eyeshadow color, but if you don't like it you won't use it. Also, you may like it better if you only apply it to the outside half of the eye.
Oh my god no wonder she keeps pushing Ciele. I literally fell for her Jacklyn Hill like product pushing. For the first time in my life, at 55, I used an affiliate link and bought 4 products, including the Ciele blush ( actually both Amazon and Sephora). But thankfully I realized soon enough and unsubbed and even used the algorithm to not recommend her channel. 🤦🏽♀️ Anyway back to video.
I sadly agree with you on the Lisa Eldridge lip glosses! I find when I reapply them they get kind of chunky, yuck. Her lipsticks are amazing but this gloss is just not. The Victoria Beckham ones are the gold standard for me!
okay but I am going to RUN to the drugstore right away and get that L'Oreal brow pencil. I am a warm brunette, but my brows are COLD, and it is so hard to find a grey-brown brow product for them!
The Phytosurgence blushes are my favorite blushes in the entire world and it sucks that they disappear on you! I have that experience with a lot of liquid blushes. It’s wild like my dry skin just absorbs them 🤣 love this video! I’m trying to be super selective about the products I have in my collection so I love to hear your reasoning.
I have become interested in makeup later in life. ‘23 was my year of figuring out what I like and now, at the end of the year, I have to do a STRICT declutter. Like you, I’m getting rid of anything that isn’t a #1 in each category. As for you, those blushes are a no. But I like that eyeshadow on you!
Hey, So, talking about make up by Mario - you like his bronzer enhancer, but don’t like blushes. How come? Isn’t that the same formula? I’m just wondering, because I have my eye on perfect pink but I think I should trust my instinct and not buy it, because enhancer just stays too balmy on my skin, the pigment disappears and the skin stays wet and dewy. Just the same way you described his blushes act on your skin. I just don’t understand how to make that enhancer work on my skin.
They perform and look completely different on my skin. The skin enhancer has this slight blurring quality and beautifully sets with powder. The blushes stay super wet, so I do feel that the formulas are different. I haven’t heard a single person say the blushes are life changing so I would skip!
I’m an oily skin gal and the photosurgence doesn’t work on me either which is a total L because their condensate shade is SO special!! I’ve also had it curdle too which just isn’t a pleasant experience 🥺. I think that brand overall isn’t oily slick girlie friendly 😭. I’m hoping in the future they come out with some new textures because I love the brand and their ethos.
The formula of the OG MUFE full cover was thick and tacky. It worked over tattoos and acne. The new one has more slip and doesn't cover as well. I think they tried to reformulated it to work under the eye :/
Such a phenomenal video. Thank you for all the descriptions. I really understand. That caramel color by vb just fights your eyes and dulls them and hard to do on those beauties ❤
I love the makeup by mario blush but I wear it on bare skin and it just looks like skin. But, I just don't love it on you, which sort of goes to show how flexible makeup is.
I ship them to followers who want them. Everything in my declutter series (along with unopened PR) is going to two refugees that my content creator friend connected me with. I only throw out products that have expired or are very used.
Funny thing, I am semi-interested in makeup, I wear only mascara and matte lipstick- eyeshadow maybe like 2x a year and I wouldn't be caught dead with bronzer, eyeliner and such extravagances, but I just found your channel and I love watching your videos. You have such a calm, soothing way and I appreciate how well you articulate your thoughts. Also, you look absolutely wonderful with and without makeup and I really appreciate your honesty about brands and products. Hope your channel takes off!
Agree about phytosurgence eyeshadows all being a little too cool, except for the amber one which was almost straight up orange on me. I wish they made one somewhere in the middle. I actually ended up mixing Amber Aura and Chilled Cherry in a separate container, and I LOVE the resulting color, but independently they’re too extreme.
Ok thank you! I’ve never heard anyone agreed with me but the colors are just so off compared to my usual shades. They’re very muddy on me, except for amber aura which is too orange. But I love magnetic maple for a silver eye
Re: Phytosurgence. Their skincare is SO good, but the makeup is another story sadly. I thought the bronzer was growing mold so I emailed them about it since I hadn’t had it very long and they wrote back this VERY lengthy response about it not being mold but crystallization and how to deal with it and then pointed me to a FAQ on their website about how to use the product properly, and while I appreciated the response, I just don’t think bronzer should be that difficult or need its own FAQ 😂
I actually really like the VB eyeshadow on you! Agree with Jon, I think the blush was throwing it off, but paired with a more neutral shade and that last lip it would have looked stunning. My Phytosurgence blushes also changed in texture and it honestly discouraged me from trying more products from the brand :/
Phytosurgebce blushes and eyeshadow formulas are not my favorite in the world, but I love them specifically for the colors they offer. The really unique selection of murky cool tones really flatters my medium-deep olive skin. The blushes don't last well on me either but it might as well be because of the extremely hot and humid climate I live in. I think a lot of people love Phytosurgence for their colors and are willing to compromise longevity for that.
I like the eyeshadow color, but I agree something seems off about it. I think it would look good with different makeup. Like, I wonder if the warm tone of the foundation is throwing it off, and I don’t think the blush color is right at all. I think you look really pretty with cool toned eye looks, but you’ve got plenty of good products for those looks, which is clear from that wintery cool toned video you did.
I don’t think that eyeshadow looks bad, but the color is verging on “black eye” color on your skin tone and I think a lot of your other products look more flattering!
I totally agree with the eyeshadow on your eyes, it was so pretty in the zoom in angle, but once your pulled camera further and looking at it with your face, the tones does not match your skin, you do have a great sense and taste at colortone!!!
Also this video is so timely! I’ve been lusting after the Givenchy concealer and this video helped de-influence me from buying it. The fit glow is the only concealer that has ever worked for me.
Loved the video! I actually don’t have that experience with the phytosurgence blush. I very rarely wear makeup (less than 10 times a year) and my Sublimate hasn’t developed any graininess or anything. I sometimes use it as a lip balm (saw that it was ok on the brands ig), might be worth a try!
Thank you so much for the phytosurgence review. I have been tempted many times and you talked me out of it. I can't be bothered with products that go weird like that. ❤❤❤
VB eyewear in trench then caramel on top blended is 10/10. We are skin twins and all the issues you mentioned are solved with this combo. Just a quick note!!! Warms it up and no creasing, lasts forever. Perfect combo.
Maybe I am in the minority here but I think the VB shadow stick looks gorgeous on you. I think the undertones of the foundation, blushes and lipgloss clash too much and don’t make the eye look justice. I would try it again with products you love before deciding on declutter. Love your content ❤
Peep the end of the video for Jon's thoughts on the Victoria Beckham eyeshadow 😂
I’ve been loving your videos! You are so real and honest and your reviews are thorough and intelligent. So glad I found your channel!
Oh wow, thank you so much!
Lovvvvve a good, thoughtful declutter, and yours are my fave to watch. Also enjoyed hearing Jon’s thoughts at the end 😊
I love how seriously he takes the assignment 😂
That's so interesting about the Armani Luminous silk and the color match. It's also my favorite and one of the main reasons is because it gives my cool toned skin the best shade match out there.
Yes!! Best foundation shade match for me of all time.

I don’t like them enough to do that
I had the exact same experience with the glossier foundation sample kit vs the bottle. I thought bottle was more dry.
No way!! I thought I was the only one
OH EM GEE. I am here to vote that Jon join you more often; even if it's just to see the way you look at him. So sweet.
Aww, thanks. He's VERY private, doesn't use social media at all, so it's tough to get him on the channel but it's so fun when he does!
I initially didn’t like the eyeshadow but after you applied mascara; I did. But if you aren’t going to use it; get rid of it. I hope Jon feels better soon. It sucks to be sick at Christmas time. Happy Holidays to you & Jon!
Happy holidays!
I always enjoy Jon's thoughtful additions when he shows up.
Awwww, thanks. He always take the assignment seriously!
I totally thought it was just me with the hEDS and gripping the big Saie brush thing!!! So sad…(on so many levels…).
It might be a hEDS thing, it's hard for me too!
I feel so validated because I HATEEE the Mario blushes. And I, too, fell into the hype and bought three. Yes, three. They're so so greasy, ugh. I do really like the VB Eyewear on you; I think it's super pretty and makes your eyes look icy!

They’re W E T
I like the eye shadow, it looks good with your eye color. But if you don't like it, then get rid of it. There are too many good products out there to spend time "making it work".
Totally, that’s what I’m thinking too. I just sent reach for it
It is available on the app, it's on the same row as videos and shorts, you have to scroll to the right for the search icon to come up.
I don’t have that!
I LOVE Ohio!! Marblehead is one of my favorites!!
The fact that I don’t have a match in Glossier KILLS ME because it’s so good. VL4 is too dark, VL1 is too light.
SO annoying, it’s really not a good range in terms of undertones, at least on the light end
im lez but i know a cute man when i see him! haha yall are a pretty couple.
Awwww thanks 😂
Kait! Yesstyle just dropped the F/W collection of the Honey Melting Lips, did u see that ? Maybe I'm late to the party
OH MY GOD I HAVE BEEN CHECKING EVERY DAY. I love you
@@StateofKait i love u too, can't wait to see your review!
it's a shame about the jones road sandy blush formula because when you held it up against your face, it looked like the shade would be a win for you
Jon trying to provide feedback as well as understand your color description is so good. As is the statement about VBeck not needing your support. 🤣
😂😂

That glossier foundation breaks me out every time. Coco-Caprylate/Caprate is not good for my skin.
Love how you actually go ham with decluttering while most other creators declutter a tiiiiiiny smidgen amount XD
I’m like GET IT ALL GONE. I just want my 10/10 favs
Yep that VB caramel is meh. I am melanated and thought ooooooh that would be lovely on me. And then it disappeared into meh. Pass. 😛
Now I want the Victoria Beckham eyeshadow stick, looks lovely on you by the way, and the Wander Beauty eyeshadows. ❤❤❤.
I sadly agree with you on the Lisa Eldridge lip glosses! I find when I reapply them they get kind of chunky, yuck. Her lipsticks are amazing but this gloss is just not. The Victoria Beckham ones are the gold standard for me!

I can see how that Victoria Beckham is a beautiful shade but agree it’s too dark for you. Love her brand though
Makeup forever lip liners are super dry. Milani has a pencil “color statement” lip liner that feels exactly the same!!!
❤🎉 KAIT good for you!! I remember you talking about the house a while ago but didn't want to pry... Have fun in your new exciting adventure!! 🥰😁💖💚❤️🎄
Aww, thanks! Very excited for this next chapter :)
I do like the caramel stick on you, sorry :)!
I have become interested in makeup later in life. ‘23 was my year of figuring out what I like and now, at the end of the year, I have to do a STRICT declutter.

Alsoooo decluttering my MBM blushes. I also feel like the colors got more desaturated as they sat in my drawer…
So disappointing, they’re really not flattering 🙈
I’m an oily skin gal and the photosurgence doesn’t work on me either which is a total L because their condensate shade is SO special!! I’ve also had it curdle too which just isn’t a pleasant experience 🥺. I think that brand overall isn’t oily slick girlie friendly 😭. I’m hoping in the future they come out with some new textures because I love the brand and their ethos.
Agreed, I love the uniqueness of their formulas but they don't really work for anyone with oily or combo skin. So sad!
The formula of the OG MUFE full cover was thick and tacky. It worked over tattoos and acne. The new one has more slip and doesn't cover as well. I think they tried to reformulated it to work under the eye :/

I’m actually pretty interested in the Wander beauty eyeshadows and why you don’t like them - next video?
Yep! I explain in the next video but I do end up keeping one
The givenchy concealer is horrible for mature skin . Sinks into every line like nothing else
Totally, it’s extremely slippy
D'aaaawww. Love the Jon cameo! I agree that the VB Caramel is kind of "meh" for your complexion and clear blue eyes.
Haha thanks, I feel validated
30:05 we don’t love it Jon! 😂😂😂😂 I had the same issue with the Glossier foundation as well! But seems that everyone loves it. Great video ❤
😂😂😂😂😂
Enjoyed this video, I like your attitude and your husband's comments 🤩 Ciao from Italy
Ciao from California!
Enjoyed the video! I Hope John feels better soon. Exciting that your move is coming up soon!

I don't know why they don't have that search bar in the mobile app. I like to use it whenever I'm on my PC. It's really useful.
Same! It’s my favorite tool
"it's actually more of a cool tone bronze i normally wear a warm bronze" "i don't know what that is" 😂😂😂

Thanks! It’s nice but just doesn’t flatter me like others do
Also this video is so timely! I’ve been lusting after the Givenchy concealer and this video helped de-influence me from buying it. The fit glow is the only concealer that has ever worked for me.
Fitglow is liiiiiiiiiife
Kait you could add some blue pigment to the glossier foundation and that will make it more neutral
Too much work for me! I already have foundations I love. I’d never reach for something that requires me to put in extra effort.
Kait is decluttering & I’m falling in love with that VB eyeshadow!!!! One woman’s trash is an olive skinned woman’s treasure 😂
That VBB eyeshadow is AMAZING on olive skin
@@StateofKait Somebody buy a house in Lake Tahoe with me so I can buy that eye shadow!! 😂
I feel like the whole glossier range leans peachy or warm toned
It does, I’m so bummed
Honestly I’m obsessed with the glossier foundation. Please try your actual match. I’m light 2 dry skin and it’s just perf
Loved the video! I actually don’t have that experience with the phytosurgence blush. I very rarely wear makeup (less than 10 times a year) and my Sublimate hasn’t developed any graininess or anything. I sometimes use it as a lip balm (saw that it was ok on the brands ig), might be worth a try!
Thank you so much for the phytosurgence review. I have been tempted many times and you talked me out of it. I can't be bothered with products that go weird like that. ❤❤❤
People have told me that if you use them regularly they don't have stability issues so take my experience with a grain of salt.
I have way too much blush so would probably not use it often enough. Thanks ❤❤❤
VB eyewear in trench then caramel on top blended is 10/10. We are skin twins and all the issues you mentioned are solved with this combo. Just a quick note!!! Warms it up and no creasing, lasts forever. Perfect combo.
💯
Maybe I am in the minority here but I think the VB shadow stick looks gorgeous on you. I think the undertones of the foundation, blushes and lipgloss clash too much and don’t make the eye look justice. I would try it again with products you love before deciding on declutter. Love your content ❤
Valid, the other colors were definitely throwing it off. And thank you for the love!
