I love how you still worry about prices unlike some other youtubers! You still realize some of us don't get sent shit constantly and have to pay for things 😜
I'm SO glad that you finally spoke the truth about those palettes. I watch a few people that get PR from Natasha Denona, and they've all been raving that "It's so worth it, just splurge on it, you won't regret it! I got lucky and didn't have to pay for mine, but I would if I had to!" I feel like it's almost a disservice to your viewership to encourage that "treat yoself" mentality and almost urge them to buy such expensive products (unless your channel is clearly targeted towards high-luxury items and all you use/review is Chanel and the likes.) A treat for me is a MAC lipstick, not a $200 palette. I barely hear any reviews of these where the price point is put into perspective, and where the audience is being told that they don't NEED products this expensive. Very few people even touch on the fact that these are not your every day girl's makeup, and just because every "guru" has one doesn't mean you NEED one. So thanks for keeping that in mind, Sam. No disrespect to Natasha, I'm sure the palettes are pretty damn good. But I'll be happy to just admire the artistry and pretty palettes from afar for now, at that price point.
OhHiAndie actually when you do the math and consider the price of the shadows (each shadow in the palette is a full size single that you can also buy as a single), it really IS worth it. It's over $700 for 28 singles (70g total) or $239 for the palette (also 70g total). It's one of those things that if you do your research on the brand it's very apparent that the value is there for the product.
Karima McKimmie I just wanted to tell you that I am also a huge fan of your videos as well as Sam's. You are both so talented and just absolutely beautiful. I also trust both of you completely when it comes to giving an honest review and I just wanted to say thanks!
Not sure I'd have the patience for sweating in a cramped showroom for Glossier. Small quarters with a lot of people terrifies me haha. I'm looking forward to a full UFO Oil Review! Great video 💕Thanks for being honest with us!
I've been following you since early Batalash days, and idk Sam...I love you. Thanks for staying humble and always making me feel like I'm a friend just chillin with you during your videos. I hope you never lose your candidness, it's what's kept me engaged and loving your videos for so long. Thank you!
Thank you for getting around to Sunday Riley products! I get as far as loading them into my Sephora cart and I never get the courage to click checkout because ouch. Yes, I'm a big kid with big kid bills and big kid responsibilities and I too want it to be wonderful and give you goddess skin and then it can be my hero too. Will be waiting for progress reports
Finally a RUclipsr who is truly honest about the Natasha Denona palettes! They are ridiculously expensive no matter how good they r! I will forever trust ur reviews! U quickly jumped to the top of my favorites!! 👍
agreed. It's always "they're expensive but they're worth it blah blah". Okay but there's way cheaper products that you rave about so how can you say ND is worth the obnoxious price ?
I love everything about this - the beautiful plants in the background, your gorgeous wooden table, you look incredible especially the lipstick, and your eye makeup, blending goals, I love how salty you are about Glossier, me too (I'm in australia) and I love that you care about the prices! Thank you 🙌🏽 for all of this! 🙌🏽
I feel like you're the Simon Cowell of makeup lol you're so hard on products, but we appreciate it because I feel like you're so honest. i can feel the honesty through my ears lol
I am honestly loving your more natural makeup lately girl, the look makes you look so beautiful as you literally glow and are for sure so much more comfortable with your own skin
I love videos like this, Sam! It's such a breath of fresh air, instead of "every brand and every product is the most amazing thing I've ever tried because I'm scared to piss anyone off to give my followers a real review". Love your no-b.s. ways.
That's so interesting about the Kylie KKW lippies, they all look really different on me but I've heard a ton of people didn't like them. I'm obsessed with them when blotted, they're my handbag lip products. I do wish they were more matte, like a hybrid between what they are mixed with the NYX matte lip cremes. Also, dat background is looking dayum cute.
ALSO a skin care line I've heard tons about on its own and in comparison with higher-end skincare lines is the Ordinary! Would you be able to do a review on some of their products? They're legit like $5 USD, it's insane
Thank you for always being so honest and keeping true to your audience! you're my fave youtuber to watch just because I love how non-gimmicky you are and that I feel like I'm sitting down to just hang out with a friend and talk about beauty. you were also the sweetest person and so down to earth when I met you at osheaga last year at the nyx booth. anyways, short story over, keep doing you, much love ok byeeee
I adore you and your honesty about how so many products get rave reviews when they are really just hype! Your true talk is inspiring. Your the best! Would love to hear more about UFO as you use it! 💕
Your background is amazing! Love love love it. Very refreshing to see a beauty influencer be true to themselves versus to follow the mold. Always learn something new from you in your videos, love your transparency + humor. Can't wait for the next video 💕
Yes! Sunday Riley & Drunk Elephant completely changed my skin. I fought the wagon for a long time, trying cheaper stuff. After Christmas I bit the bullet, went all out with plans of returning what didn't impress me. Nothing got returned & I've already repurchased Drunk Elephant Framboos. I can only use Good Genes when I'm having dry moments bc I'm an oily beast. But AM I wash, go over with Biologique Recherche P50 (amazing product), combine C-Firma with the Ordinary Buffet & done. I don't use any cream moisture, breaks me out. PM I just do a little Luna, Framboos then Buffet for xtra moisture. I use to struggle finding foundations, getting them to look good on me. Now, unless it's just an oily nasty formula, I can slap on whatever. My skin looks 10x better than it ever did in my 20s.
I feel like when I watch ur videos ur actually talking to me specifically and I don't feel like that with any other youtubers (at least none I can think of right now) and honestly I really appreciate that ur just so real and genuine
your beauty room is looking so great. can't wait til you add the artwork to the wall too! also so glad I'm not the only one that isn't all hyped up over the kylie products
Love how honest you are about skincare at Sephora - everyone raves about how good their skincare is constantly, and not a lot of people research what the ingredients are in the things that they are using
Love glossier and always will. Their products are amazing and I'm from Canada. I'm lucky enough to have a family member in the US where I can get products sent to me. But amazing and natural products.
Stopped me from buying the new nd sunset palette. THANKYOU! I'm pretty sure I have like 4 palettes with the same colours anyway lol. I love your desk!!!! And the wall plants. Can't wait for your decor tour! And your makeup tour of course
I was the EXACT same way with Sunday Riley! I use the UFO oil and Tidal at night and CEO in the morning and within a week a noticed a drastic change but I was so skeptical because I know how my skin is. It's been a month and a half and I can't even been to describe how happy I am with these products!
I appreciate your honesty and candid review on these eye shadow palettes. I watch youtube videos on beauty products, before i buy anything. I am learning to use eyeshadow, i am using wet-n-wild and elf palettes.
I'd love to see ND looks. I only have the Star Palette and it's my favorite of my collection. I saved for it...I do love it but yeah. A lot of money man. Idk if I'd buy another.
I was really hoping that it would be their same nice formula as the hoola bronzers. But when I swatched that blush I was really powdery and the color was not flattering at all. But NARS blushes are my ride or die tbh so maybe I'm picky.
Piece of Cake is literally my life. As a nurse I need something easy and low maintenance to keep in my pocket and it is just the prettiest. I'm on my third and it's almost out. Ordered a matte shaker to try and it should be coming today!
Sam!!! I would love to see how you do your brows, not just with makeup but how you groom them and stuff. As well as some tips on how to find a good eyebrow shape for your face and how to fill them in so they look natural. Ps LOVE YOU
I look so forward to your videos because u make me laugh & I learn something new!!! I've watched a lot of other RUclips beauty gurus & u were the very first one to explain about downsizing your makeup brushes as u put your eye shadow on. Mine always looked blended but muddy!!! Continue to be your beautiful, sarcastic, charming self😘
I love how you still worry about prices unlike some other youtubers! You still realize some of us don't get sent shit constantly and have to pay for things 😜
YESSS THIS. I agree
Keiawna Johnston yesssssss totally agree!!!!! Keeping it REAL!!!!
That's true but I would STILL want to know what a RUclipsr thinks of an expensive product that I want but never can afford.😅
if I buy a 300$ something eye shadow palette that sh*t should change my eye color and make me see thru the dark
karennba lol right! Screw that. High key haha
karennba I agree. I better turn into supergirl for that much money
They better fix my eyesight so I don't need glasses anymore too
karennba A-fucking-men bitch preach
The shadows are amazing and it's a significant savings off the shadow for buying the palette vs buying 28 of her shadows at full price.
I'm SO glad that you finally spoke the truth about those palettes. I watch a few people that get PR from Natasha Denona, and they've all been raving that "It's so worth it, just splurge on it, you won't regret it! I got lucky and didn't have to pay for mine, but I would if I had to!"

It's one of those things that if you do your research on the brand it's very apparent that the value is there for the product.
OhHiAndie I have one of them and they are good but not life changing ! So thankfully she's honest about it !
Jordana Vargas honestly for me it's the palette I reach for the most. There isn't another palette in my collection that touches the quality.
Agreed. I'm saving for a viseart palette instead ☺️
agreed - ive heard they arent that great
THANK YOU for being honest about the ND palettes. the hype on them is gd insane
Can we talk about how gorgeous Sam looks in the thumbnail..... I mean....
Winter Meadows I know, right! She looks so fresh and glowy!!
Winter Meadows I know right! What's on her skin?
Artliker1234 is this where we point out, she covers that in the video?
Just teasing ya, have a good day!
+Artliker1234 I see u EVERYWHERE 😄

Jessica Santana YES!!!!!!
Jessica Santana + 1
Jessica Santana GENUIS!
I love the way you're doing your makeup lately.
same! a little more natural
I'm becoming convinced that you and I are preference twins. 90% of your reviews read my mind 🤔
Karima McKimmie I just wanted to tell you that I am also a huge fan of your videos as well as Sam's. You are both so talented and just absolutely beautiful. I also trust both of you completely when it comes to giving an honest review and I just wanted to say thanks!
Karima McKimmie Two of my favourite RUclipsrs!!!! ❤❤❤
Not sure I'd have the patience for sweating in a cramped showroom for Glossier. Small quarters with a lot of people terrifies me haha. I'm looking forward to a full UFO Oil Review! Great video 💕Thanks for being honest with us!
I freaking love you so damn much. You're so honest and humble. Thank you for being you.
Man, words can't describe how fucking much you've inspired me to go more natural with my makeup.
The shade you threw at Glossier made me LOL. Too bad I think the cloud paints are bomb.
The cloud paints really are money.
I've been following you since early Batalash days, and idk Sam...I love you. Thanks for staying humble and always making me feel like I'm a friend just chillin with you during your videos. I hope you never lose your candidness, it's what's kept me engaged and loving your videos for so long. Thank you!

I am honestly loving your more natural makeup lately girl, the look makes you look so beautiful as you literally glow and are for sure so much more comfortable with your own skin
I love videos like this, Sam! It's such a breath of fresh air, instead of "every brand and every product is the most amazing thing I've ever tried because I'm scared to piss anyone off to give my followers a real review". Love your no-b.s. ways.
wow the background of this photo makes me want to re-organize my makeup setup so bad!
Kailtaless I'm literally about to right now 😂
dat new desk 😍
I SEE MY OLIVE PLANT 😮😀!
You look absolutely stunning in the video. All of those dewy products and just so incredible!!!!! I need that foundation! Thank you for this!
Still loving your honesty! Always so straightforward and it enhances you beauty. I'm mesmerized by it. I agree with you about ND palettes. Insane
LOVE the beauty room! Awesome to see makeup organization that's not just stark white. Way to be unique 😉
That's so interesting about the Kylie KKW lippies, they all look really different on me but I've heard a ton of people didn't like them. I'm obsessed with them when blotted, they're my handbag lip products. I do wish they were more matte, like a hybrid between what they are mixed with the NYX matte lip cremes. Also, dat background is looking dayum cute.
This background is so serene. I love it. And the white shirt with the blonde hair and light makeup. Perfection! So calming
I love your beauty room esthetic... everybody on RUclips all seems to have the same white furniture and decor. Yours is so unique and I love it!
wow Sam you look flawless!! love that you keep it real when talking about products. might have to try the facial oil out myself.
"you're sweating profusely...which is kind of the look they go for"
girll i love you 😩😂
Sunny D lmaoo that killed me
Your hair is always goals. You must spend a lot on your hair since you change it up so much. Props to whoever does it.
you're pretty much the only RUclipsr who's reviews and recommendations I take seriously. You're transparent and don't fuck around, I dig it.
Your background your desk yes yes yes 😍😍 #periscopefam
Chelsea it's gorgeous ❤️🌿
Chelsea "I'm one with the plants" 😂😂
I loveee hearing your reviews on products, man. Makes me really want you to do an all time faves or must haves in each category 😭🙌
ALSO a skin care line I've heard tons about on its own and in comparison with higher-end skincare lines is the Ordinary! Would you be able to do a review on some of their products? They're legit like $5 USD, it's insane
Olivia Jacobsen thats a review we need from you sam
You have got some nerve making me fall in love with a fucking $62 eyeshadow... shit.
Tina Marie it's some bougee ass shit. I bought it, never used it and returned it lol.
Thank you!! Every video I saw about those Kim lipsticks all I could think was every color looked exactly the same!
I rather buy 300$ worth of skin care rather than just one eyeshadow palette
I completely agree!
Thank you for always being so honest and keeping true to your audience! you're my fave youtuber to watch just because I love how non-gimmicky you are and that I feel like I'm sitting down to just hang out with a friend and talk about beauty. you were also the sweetest person and so down to earth when I met you at osheaga last year at the nyx booth. anyways, short story over, keep doing you, much love ok byeeee
Yes! Cool contour shades always make me look dead! No matter how lightly I go in and I've tried different ones too!
my skin has been so bad lately it's beyond frustrating! i'd be super interested to see a video from you on what products have helped your skin!

I love that you are a RUclipsr that has the same shipping issues as the rest of us Canadians! I am pretty salty too...
Where are your brush holders from? They're gorgeous!!
Piece of cake is my jam!!! Love it! Thanks for your review on all these products!
Your skin looks SO SO good! Just thought you should know that it already has made such a great difference.
your beauty room is looking so great. can't wait til you add the artwork to the wall too! also so glad I'm not the only one that isn't all hyped up over the kylie products

Your skin is looking really good! Foundation routine = 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks for the reviews on so many products! would love to see a few quick swatches in videos like this in the future. ❤
Love how honest you are about skincare at Sephora - everyone raves about how good their skincare is constantly, and not a lot of people research what the ingredients are in the things that they are using
I love how real you are and I truly respect that. Thanks for putting out amazing content!
I love how honest you are in your reviews. Interested to hear how the Sunday Riley products work out for you. Keep us posted!
Love glossier and always will. Their products are amazing and I'm from Canada. I'm lucky enough to have a family member in the US where I can get products sent to me. But amazing and natural products.
love all of your videos sam! btw your video on flawless skin without foundation has made me just spot conceal and feel way more confident :) u go sam
Totally love your reviews on stuff! I love the hanging plants and vases on the background 😍😍
I looove your makeup in this, so nice that you're embracing a more natural skin look. ❤️
I freaking love you Sam. I so enjoy and appreciate your realness.
Thank you for this video!
Stopped me from buying the new nd sunset palette.

On my 20th bottle of Sunday Riley Good Genes. I love it! Bought UFO for my daughter. It really does make a difference.
I absolutely love your personality and sense of humor!!
I love your natural look lately, you look so good!
tutorial on this look pls! eye makeup is stunning!
I felt the same about Sunday Riley but I used Good Genes and omg it is amazing! Its the first product I saw a noticeable difference in my skin
I was the EXACT same way with Sunday Riley! I use the UFO oil and Tidal at night and CEO in the morning and within a week a noticed a drastic change but I was so skeptical because I know how my skin is. It's been a month and a half and I can't even been to describe how happy I am with these products!
I appreciate your honesty and candid review on these eye shadow palettes. I watch youtube videos on beauty products, before i buy anything. I am learning to use eyeshadow, i am using wet-n-wild and elf palettes.
I absolutely love how you keep things so real and always give an honest opinion, never stop Sam, love ya!!
Have you tried the Milk highlighter in Lit? It's dope af, not too sparkly pretty dewy and buildable!!
Loving your sass. You are hilarious. Love you!
I'd love to see ND looks. I only have the Star Palette and it's my favorite of my collection. I saved for it...I do love it but yeah. A lot of money man. Idk if I'd buy another.
Those plant things are so cool 😍😍😍 Wow those palettes are crazy expensive 😳😳😳
You're such a gem in the general beauty guru community! Please never change!
You're such a refreshing youtuber to watch because of your honesty and genuine personality that comes through in your videos
Ok, so I'm INCREDIBLY interested in why you don't like the Galifornia Blush!? Your reaction was hilariously awesome!
Agreed I want to know!! wth happened lol
Delusional Unicorn she said the overspray was misleading and she didn't care for the color underneath.
I was really hoping that it would be their same nice formula as the hoola bronzers. But when I swatched that blush I was really powdery and the color was not flattering at all. But NARS blushes are my ride or die tbh so maybe I'm picky.
loooooving the new beauty room! would love to hear your thoughts on the ordinary foundations!
hey Sam, what shadow is on your eyes? It makes the blue pop and i need that in my life! x
Taylor Rose Totally here for it 🙋🏼 it is GORGEOUS
Taylor Rose she replied to another comment that it's the Tom Ford bronze one. I agree it's gorgeous!
Legit she may have sold me on those Tom Ford shadows. O.o
Piece of Cake is literally my life. As a nurse I need something easy and low maintenance to keep in my pocket and it is just the prettiest. I'm on my third and it's almost out. Ordered a matte shaker to try and it should be coming today!
you did a great hanging job on those plants Sam they look great ❤💚
Duuude the milk bronzer and haloscope look BOMB on you!! xxoxoxo
OMG, that Glossier shopping experience reminds me of shopping in the former Yugoslavia in the 90s.
Literally the honesty in his video is what made me subscribe. Actual thumbs up girl I am impressed.
Sam!!! I would love to see how you do your brows, not just with makeup but how you groom them and stuff. As well as some tips on how to find a good eyebrow shape for your face and how to fill them in so they look natural. Ps LOVE YOU
I look so forward to your videos because u make me laugh & I learn something new!!! I've watched a lot of other RUclips beauty gurus & u were the very first one to explain about downsizing your makeup brushes as u put your eye shadow on. Mine always looked blended but muddy!!! Continue to be your beautiful, sarcastic, charming self😘
so I came here to learn about makeup and now I want to know where i can get those cool wall plants
TRY THE NYX DOSE OF DEW FACE GLOSS!!!!!!!!!!! Such a stunning dewy glow
