- In today’s world of endless product launches, viral beauty trends, and overflowing shelves, why does nothing we buy feel special anymore? In this video, we explore the rise of beauty overconsumption-how the beauty industry’s evolution from simplicity to excess has left us chasing an unattainable ideal. From the vintage charm of timeless skincare routines to the modern frenzy of TikTok-approved products, we’ll uncover how marketing, consumer culture, and trends have shaped our relationship with beauty over the decades.

As someone born in the 70’s, I just don’t feel as consumed as some others might. I do what works for me and don’t feel the need to own everything… or try everything. So much wasted money.
It’s so refreshing to hear that
I was born in the 60s, from parents that were raised through WW2 and the great depression afterwards. ... so everything is used to the last drop...👍👍
I agree 100% a lot of wasted money.
I was also born in the 70s and I feel the same way. I love beauty products and definitely indulge in that area but I certainly don't buy every single new product that comes out and I don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I just buy what appeals to me and works for me. 😊
I was born in 1994, but since my mom had a stroke early spring, and having her as a dependent, my interest in consuming has gone down so much. Can imagine having a kid would do the same thing. Priorities have changed so much.
Missing out is actually quite liberating.
I really needed to see this today... fast fashion and social meida has honestly ruined it all...
Thanks for watching
Things don’t feel special, because they AREN’T special.
Fair enough
Things you acquire actually have spiritual energy attached to them. Beautiful things remind us that life is good. That’s why overconsumption is so appealing to the soul but leaves you empty if you don’t consider the spiritual value of what you’re collecting.
@evaphillips2102 well said 🥂
@@Laurajaneatelier it’s like you said, having only one lipstick makes that lipstick incredibly precious. But having 20 or 30 lipsticks - or eyeshadow palettes, or bottles of perfume- like I am guilty of, renders each one less special than it deserves. 😊
@@evaphillips2102 girl what
I'm over FOMO. I've been feeling the beauty burnout since 2019. I bought less this year than I ever have, and also used up and gave away more than I ever have. I still have way too much, but it's better than it was. I never want this much stuff ever again.
I know it all expires before you can even use it
Me too
I’ve been barely buying anything since 2020 and I went through my skincare and makeup collection multiple times and gave a lot of it away … I STILL have too much. It’s insane how long these products take to be used up
I'm super guilty of over buying; I've been project panning since 2021 and have given away a lot of makeup that just wasn't working for me.... I still have around 35-40 eyeshadow palettes & 20 blushes, way to much for one person, shopping addiction is real and fomo is the worst! Nobody actually realizes how long it takes to use up makeup, 2 years plus for a regular sized blush of every day use!!
I'm so grateful for Buy Nothing groups bc I've donated quite a bit of makeup and hair care. very freeing!
I agree, there is far too much these days. But as a woman of colour growing up in the 80s, it was impossible to get the right colour foundation, so I'm grateful we now have more choice.
👏👏👏👏
Yes this has been my focus! One of my favorite teachers said "the simplest people are the happiest." I was only 12 then, but as I've grown and aged into my 30s I've learned just how right she was.
So true!
❤❤ Awesome comment. 🎯🎯
So very true.
I fell into a huge skincare routine in 2016. I destroyed my moisture barrier, oversensitized my skin, and got that orangepeel skin texture on my face. It took years to heal, and to this day, all I can put on my face is Cetaphil. And I paid hundreds of dollars to donthis to myself!
I've sworn by Cetaphil for about 20 years now. Some of my friends are into more expensive products and brands, but Cetaphil Cleanser & Lotion does it all for me. Plus you can use it head to toe so it's versatile.
how did you get rid of orange peel skin?
@@seabreeze4559it depends how you got it. Your pore size is genetic but excess oil can make them look larger. Excess oil can be from having oily skin or like the commenters experience - possibly them damaging their barrier led to the skin producing an excess of oil in order to try recreate its barrier which made the pores larger. Age can sometimes cause it too. The goal is to balance oil production by removing the excess without stripping. So gentle foaming cleansers, ingredients which balance oil production (e.g., niacinamide, green tea) and keep skin hydrated to prevent the skin overproducing oil (good simple moisturiser that works for you)
Nailed it. More is better and nothing we do is good enough. The industry snd “influencers” are to blame. This is why I reject most social media. The messages are toxic.
Ya it becomes overwhelming
Toxic and dumb.
yes but who put the influencers there? we did. this is our fault.
I always wear strawberry chapstick and short red nails. My husband and now find it sentimental cause it's what I always did since he knew me. One day when I pass I hope my son can look at short red nails and think of his mom and my husband can smell a strawberry chapstick and remember my kisses. I know it's corny but I think personality and life experience is part of what makes beauty special
This is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing
This is the least corny thing I've heard all week. Lovely future memories!
I always stick to products that work for me
And very brand loyal
Thanks for your work
I’m starting to learn that. I try new stuff and my skin breaks out
Same but it becomes a problem when they reformulate every year
You are so right. I was a teen in the late ‘90’s. I had one foundation, one blush, one mascara, and 3 eye palettes.
It was all that I needed. Looking at my makeup now, I wonder when did I start thinking that I needed 10+ of every product?
I'm 25 , I use my blush everyday from when I reached 17😵
This!! I was a teen in the late 00s, and even THEN (in peak beauty guru era on YT) I owned pretty much one version of each product and only bought replacements. Nowadays I have so much stuff I barely remember everything, and sometimes I still feel this crazy urge to go and buy more. It’s been a consistent battle to try and rewire my brain regarding overconsumption.
@@rafaella____ yes! I’m constantly reminding myself “you don’t need this.”
I was a preteen and teenager during the 1970s. To this day, I've maintained a simple three-step ritual: cleanse, tone, and moisturize. Ponds cleansing cream, Witch hazel, and Ponds moisture cream. I still use erase! I'm good to go with a few Revlon lipsticks, 1 blush, and 1 makeup base! Thank you, Laura! You are such a truther! I love your videos!
Oh I love that routine!
I didn't know they still made Erase. I'm going to look for it!❤
I haven't seen it in years@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 I haven't seen it in the Revlon brand, I use the Covergirl erase and it works great!
What about serum? Cleanse, tone, serum and moisturize
I dress very retro/vintage, and wear makeup to match. I always say that I don't have to worry about being in fashion when I'm 70+ years out of fashion to begin with!
I have a curated collection of makeup and skincare products that work well for me (and my sensitive skin), and that's it. I don't think I've bought new makeup except replacements in YEARS. I love having a "signature" look, style, and fragrance. It makes me feel elegant and put together.
I totally get this. I have curated my skincare & makeup products down to the basics - and it is SO much easier to get ready & to look like ME.
100% I love vintage style and beauty routines
I 100% love everything about your post!
Out of pure curiosity, what is your signature scent?
I have about 3 I like to rotate, but 2 of them are discontinued. 😢
I just want to say I love your profile picture; You look so beautiful, and stand out.
I have been in the skin care aisle for MONTHS and will spend 15/20/25 minutes looking for a product to address my concerns and am always SO overwhelmed with all the products and different brands and different choices (do I need this, that, that or this)! I will Google products and still leave with nothing. I would visit the skin care aisle every day and pick stuff up, put it in my cart just to put it back and leave with nothing until I FINALLY bought something. It’s so overwhelming. And I LOVED the packaging makeup used to have, it used to be so pretty and now some are really nice but most is just plastic. Social media and fast fashion/beauty ruin everything.
Yes! Me too. Overwhelmed.
The power is in ourselves. 2:23 I lol at makeup refrigerators. You know as well as I know, you get to a certain age and you jump off the trend wheel.
Haha fair enough
You got that right.
lol I’m a teen and I love makeup an skincare but those fridges js seem so silly to me lol
Social media is just what tv shopping used to be. Everything can be purchased. Everything they do is for sales.
Owning too much skincare n makeup can be overwhelming....you always feel the need to use everything all the time just to finish it before expiring...rather than because you enjoy it...
That’s so true, I also knocked stuff over because it gets so cluttered
Any “layering” expensive perfumes that £200 a bottle is a piss take. Imagine doing that in the 80s and 90s lmfao. Then we got perfume that would last days on one spray!
Nobody is to blame but our own insecurities and lack of backbone.
In your 20s, 30s, 40s you need
1- Cleanser ( double cleanse if you want )
2- Moisturizer
3- Sunscreen
^^As a professional aesthetician, I can confirm this!
i do this and im 16 😭 occasionally throw a little spot treatment for pimples and such
It's ABSURD!!! Less is truly more. TOO MANY CHOICES OF EVERYTHING! TOO MUCH PRESSURE (FOMO). The beauty industry has become a BEAST. 😡
It sure has.
Its quite intimidating to be confronted by banks of skincare in a shop,all screaming BUY ME! YOUR FACE WILL FALL OFF WITHOUT THIS!!!!!
I follow a routine that I'm happy with and that I feel suits me.
If it works then I agree stick with it
Since turning 60, I laugh at the youth serums etc… that show 30 and 40 year olds.
I agree. They need to get real.
Most of the influencers that showcase them are in their 20s. It's absurd.
@DeeBeeTeeWee True
Yeah, that's like showing an ad for Venus razors or Veet hair removal cream with perfectly smooth, hairless legs 😂
I use to work at Sephora in two different department stores at 20-22 and I always wanted to try everything in the store. At 25 I really want quality Korean skincare that has science behind it and a few makeup products that work with my skin with some fun eyeshadows for fun days instead of rolling up every day. There's something so satisfying about loving a single profuct everyday instead of never finishing it
This was an excellent video. What really hit me was the fact that you'll really love a product from these newer brands that seem to be popping up left and right and they have the audacity to discontinue the product that you wanted to be your staple for like (looking at you Merit) this is why I'm sticking with brands that have been around for decades. I really love these old values. Everything was made with care and intention and made to last. You can still find vintage lipstick cases and compact mirrors to this day! I'm working on my signature scent, my signature lipstick color. My mom is a wonderful example of this. She uses 1 eyeshadow from Mac and hits Pan every time before she buys another one. I admire that. I had a signature red Lippie until tarte discontinued the color. It was cheerleader. The best red for my complexion.
I'm in my late 30s, and i've been using the same cleanser (Ponds face wash) and body lotion (Vaseline) for the past 20 years! And they work FINE, lol. I did switch up my moisturiser a couple years ago to something a bit richer...plus i added a couple actives - a vitamin C serum and retinol. And i feel like i've achieved a good balance now and really don't need to keep trying every single new product that is hyped up by influencers 😊
Thank you Laura for all your time & work/research in all your videos, but especially this one. It is SO true. I am guilty as charged with lipstick & eyeshadow palettes. Then you get the item & there's the letdown realizing this wasn't so great & you usually find you've already got those shades in your stash. Perfume industry is the same. Fragrances that I had used over many years don't smell the same & they DON'T last but for a short time. This is proven by the manufacturer when they then come out with the "Intense" version. Total ripoff!
Very true.
I just got a new bottle of Coco Mademoiselle and I was shocked. Doesn’t smell the same and doesn’t last at all but got more expensive. Im mad!
My beauty products:
- Lancome Nutrix cream.
- Milk cleanser with almond oil from Lancome.
-Nivea cream (bleu tin jar).
-Almond oil.
-Vaseline.
-Dove soapbar.
- 4 classic different red lipsticks from Lancome and L'Oréal.
- 2 brown mascara from Essence.
- 2 concealers from Maybelline Fit me.
-Powder foundation from Lancome.
- 2 red nailpolish from a drugstore brand to match my lipstick.
-3 eyeshadows, 2 creamy white color from Lancome and 1 taupe color from Clarins.
- 1 kajal eye pencil from Lancome deep bleu color and 1 pen eyeliner from Essence black.
And to be honest, I think my list is a lot and more then enough. I don't need more.
Oooh yes, 1 parfum from First Cleef & Arples and 1 from Geurlain Shalimar. And 2 deodorant.😊
Amazing list, you inspired me, thank you 😇
My usual makeup would be Esteé Lauder foundation, powder, blush, glow pressed powder and tinted lip balm. Sometimes I'll add brown liner, mascara, other lip products or eyeshadows
The powder foundation from Lancôme is amazing. I would buy a new one and use it up every year for years. Don’t know when or why I stopped.
Ok, my honest question is, where does the everyday person get the money to have SO MANY things? It honestly baffles me 😂
I love makeup history!!❤
I am 51 years old and a veteran makeup artist of 30 years. I have seen and experienced many makeup trends through the years. Lol.😊
For me, it was Merle Norman cosmetics, which started in the 1920s. Merle Norman was a great inventor of the cleansing cream, a face mask called Miracol, and their foundation cream, Powder Base. It's a great brand that doesn't get enough recognition. Please add Merle Norman to your history of makeup brands. Also, please try them . I worked for them for 10 years and grew up seeing my mother using their products. Makeup brands use to be passed down by our mothers and grandmothers, even Aunts, sometimes. Loyal customers, even generations, would use the same products keeping companies in business.
Love the choices out there, but they can be overwhelming at times. I have way too much myself, but I love it all. I give a lot to my family & friends. I also review products but have cut back and give some of it away. 😊
Merle's Norman products are fabulous.
I did get caught in the latest and greatest beauty products. Now I just buy what I will use up and repurchase. I've got tons of makeup that I'm sure are expired, but due the the price I paid when I purchased them, I keep them.
You're 100% correct about the beauty industry nowadays. ❤
Unfortunally, every product that really makes me happy and that works for me gets discontinued. :(
There was I had this coral lipstick called poppy by Avon. Discontinued. It was made in Korea. I saves the used lipstick. I cannot find the exact shade. It is close to kiss me coral by revlon.
@@wednesdayschild3627 you can order custom made lipstick colours nowadays, there are services
I only use two products on my skin, Cetaphil gentle cleanser and the SPF 30 moisturizer sensitive normal to oily. Occasionally, I'll use Castor Oil for the dryness and exfoliate once a month (Cetaphil and baking soda). And that's it! Less is more! I live and do everything the vintage way! It lasts and works!
I'm 58. I used to stock up on a product I liked because (without fail) that product would be discontinued. My skin began to really change at 50 so I was constantly buying products to keep up with those changes. My dermatologist recommended Vanicream and Dove soap. I'm glad I have three daughters to donate products to.
You missed the 80s makeup was crazy looks back then, plus hairstyles were absolutely the nuts and fun..
Yes this has been on my mind a lot. I am 43 and worked as a beauty professional in the 2000s. It’s so different now, be it the prices, the amount of shit being coming out and the overall glorification of overconsumption.
I think a related topic would be our overall poor health in the modern age. Sugar, caffeine, processed foods and toxins affect our gut health and skin barrier. Makeup and skincare can help our outward appearance but true beauty should come from healthy skin, hair, nails, IMO. A secondary topic is insecurity. A woman who is secure in her beauty doesn't buy as much, the industry preys on insecurities to make a buck. A woman who takes care of herself through good food, sleep, exercise, AND is secure in her natural state doesn't need makeup to feel confident.
I've got swept away with all of the new releases, but at some point, I just had to stop, like you said, and reorient myself to the core products that I truly enjoy, and ignore the rest. It's just too much now days. It's helpful if you're discovering what you enjoy wearing, but at a certain point, it's just too much. And I trust the tried and true brands, because they know what they're doing.
I remember my first luxury skincare purchase, it was lancome's genifique serum. I placed it so neatly on my table and tweaked the angle so neatly, I looked at it every time I walked into the room. It was so special. I felt some kind of special way when I used it. Unfortunately I have never had that same feeling since. 😢
I've definitely been guilty of getting sucked in myself. This was a very inspiring video. I'm try to be more intentional now.
Having suffered from acne and skin conditions since 1997 I am grateful that there is more choice today. And also for my curly hair it was a nightmare. I am happy that there are more products , but the overwhelming is real.
I think everyone looks the same too due to plastic surgery in regard to celebrities.
I don't get stocking videos. "This is how I stock my guest room", if she doesn't have a dozen people visiting and forgetting their own skin care every month, all that stock is unuseable within a year at most. And then?
I feel special when I find some clean and effective . The amount of products trying to kill us is insane.
I'm being dramatic but after having a baby I truly try to keep things simple and natural .
i love all the products in this video and the vintage magazine ads
I just bought a pat mcgrath lipstick from eBay on half price. That was my birthday treat.❤
Oh nice! Happy birthday
I hit a breaking point where I was overwhelmed with items and I just donated or dedicated items to “project pan” or aka finish a product. Moving forward I just need a few. More items was so chaotic and felt overwhelming
I used to love treating myself to a new top and new lipstick or so when out shopping, now if need to be a “haul” I don’t want to haul anything!
Laura, your channel is consistently amazing. Whether you are looking at trends, beauty, patterns, old Hollywood, or what is old is new every video is enlightening, extremely well done and illuminates an aspect of beauty that makes the viewer think. Thank you so much for your videos.
I came across your channel a long time ago and it has really helped me to get back to basics to my favorite products from childhood, cetaphil, ponds, Nivea, Revlon. This is all I need and my skin has been so much happier for it (and my wallet 😊)
I stick to about 6 skincare products that I know work for me. I did go through a phase of buying recommended products,but found them very substandard so I returned to what works.
As a 40yo guy who just started akincare routine this uear and live in 3rd world country, I am kinda glad that I don't have THAT much money to spend lol. This makes me research into what my skin needs and search for an affordable brand to stick into.
Skincare is to care for your skin. Loving how my skin looks like now in my 40 compared to my 20 😅 Of only I knew what I know back then sigh...
an Ultra Beauty ad played right before vid started
Fair enough unfortunately I can’t control that
For whatever reason, you ended up in my feed and I am appreciative. Your content is very thoughtful and insightful. Thank you for sharing.
I'm actually grateful that I refreshed my makeup bag with some more modern products and formulas this year. I definitely overshopped and returned a ton of crap in the process, but now I have products that I TRULY LOVE TO USE. Putting on makeup and using skin care products every day makes me happy. It's my guilty pleasure, and I don't feel badly about what it costs. I absolutely see your point, though, and usually fall in line with exactly what you're suggesting. Love your channel. Thank you for your videos.
I think it’s great you found a good routine. I plurge on Dior concealer and foundation but it lasts me 5-6 months so it’s not that bad
Mascara and red lipstick is all the makeup I need.
People need to give it a rest.
I repurchase the same skincare products over and over again. Same with my beauty products. Except mascara, mascara I’ll always buy the cheapest but lip products I will always rebuy what I know and love
I am frustrated by the overconsumption I engage in when trying to replace discontinued products that were perfect - looking at you Estée Lauder: Maple Sugar lipstick and the entire Prescriptives line.
From buying every new fashion and makeup item in every holiday sale, I'm proud to say I haven't bought anything online or in person this Black Friday/Cyber Monday. I don't crave new things and just use things that work for my skin. Also, now I don't have the budget because it goes to daycare and necessities LOL
I have been using Origins for 20 years. I love it and have tried others but they don’t give me the same joy.
That’s amazing, 20 years is a long time!
I work in beauty retail and see how this constant treadmill of trends and never ending consumerism is destroying the magic of what it once meant. I am really struggling with the demographic changing and tiny children being manipulated by this huge amorphous blob. It's so damaging to childhood and I see how grown women despair coming to shop whereas before, it was a space for them to enjoy. It has definitely got worse in the past 3 years... I wonder how much debt people are going into to keep up with this insatiable beast ?!
I really love having options, actually! I did go on a bit of a beauty spree once so I could figure out what works best for me, but now I practically only restock a handful of favorites. I do try new things, but I'll wait until a current moisturizer runs out, or I'll restock a few signature fragrances and make room for just a few discoveries at a time.
It goes back to when yt first started when the beauty gurus on yt would review tons of things and tells us we needed them
Excellent points in this video. I've been feeling this way for years now. The pressure to keep buying is a real thing for young people. I've made it a point to use up make up and skincare before purchasing more. My skin also looks healthier and younger when I stick to core products in my routine . Well done on a awesome video.
Great video 👍 I use a face wash toner moisturizer and my favorite foundation mascara and lipstick .I've tried some of the new products, but I've had breakouts or skin reactions, so I stick to what I know works for my skin 😊
I break out too when I try too many things
I love your content !! ❤ you are so intelligent. I love your in-depth views, I can totally resonate with what you say.
everyone has to buy everything someone else has to feel like they belong somewhere. sad but true, weve all done it. stanley mugs have become peoples whole personality too and kids having a sephora addiction is just sad
I swear by Nivea Creme & Coty Airspun instead of fancy foundations Nothing else IMO compares
I love Nivea and Coty lasts forever. Make sure you get the German one
Yes Absolutely 💯
@@LaurajaneatelierWhy the German one?
It’s way better…the German
@@swanlake4483Any idea where I can buy, please?
I bought blush for the first time in my life this weekend. Finding the right product and shade was so overwhelming i nearly gave up. But i did make a choice in the end, and I'm so pleased with my inexpensive purchase! I look forward to using this single product down to the pan.
You'd be surprised at how instantaneously life feels better once you put down the phone and get off social media. Everything online is an advertisement now.
Your content, how you order the storyline, telling the background and true purpose of things are really good and illustrative. Thank you I see things clearer now❤
I rethought everything when a fkn cup became a trend. What a wake up call.
😂
Loved this, thank you! I have a minimal collection of tried-and-true faithfuls, and genuinely love getting ready for the day each morning. I cross my fingers often that my favourites never get discontinued as consumers keep chasing the next and newest it products!
Good information. I don't try to keep up with all the products. I use only what works for me. Thanks much.😊
This video is just what I needed ❤ I feel so overwhelmed by my collection and I really want to pare it down in 2025
Great video, love the retro pics.
Really good video, well structured and expressed, though I missed the analysis of the 80's with all those bright colors and I would say you did idealised the motivations of past decades a little too much.
Thank you so much for spreading awareness
This is a wonderfully executed and very thoughtful analysis.
Every time I find something I will like forever it’s discontinued
I loved Bonne Bell products and Yardley. I really, really miss Yardley. I wish they would bring it back. I was born in 1958 so I miss all the 70’s products. Coty, the groovy Maybeline eyeshadows, Yardley everything, Flame Glo lip gloss is square plastic, the original Herbal Essence shampoo smell…I could go on and on. The packaging was the best too. I just bummed myself out so I’m going to stop now. 😑😂
I remember Yardley having the best mascara in the 70's.
My favorite beauty products:
*Burt's Bees cleansing balm
*Chandrika ayurvedic bar soap
*St. Ives acne scrub
*Acuré brightening scrub
*Stridex grapefruit acne pads or *Thayers rosewater witch hazel toner
*Physician's Formula Rosé serum
*Acuré brightening cream
*Bio Oil (skin care and new scars)
*Palmer's Cocoa Butter (stretch marks)
*Raw Sugar hair products
*argan oil
*Eos lip balm
*Esteé Lauder doublewear foundation
*PüR love your selfie foundation
*
This. Yes. Everything you’ve said. Thank you for making this video.
Yup every makeup product i own fits in a small makeup bag: one eyeshadow palette, 3 single shadows, 5 bullet lipsicks that I’m panning, 1 foundation, 1 concealer, 1 eye liner and mascara. I keep a capsule, minimalist yet beautiful wardrobe that I mostly thrifted too.
Good for my wallet and simplicity
An amazing much needed pov. Thanks girl. You opened my eyes.❤❤❤❤ Respect ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
So true. I remember when we worried over whether something was the most becoming to us, and its popularity was irrelevant. I used nothing on my face (aside from makeup) but Johnson's Baby Cream and OJ's Beauty Lotion, both now discontinued, and my skin was breakout-free all through my teens. Thanks for another fun and informative video!
I was sucked into purchasing a whole lot of different makeup 😅 sadly I don’t wear any of it 😅 great video thanks for sharing 😊
As someone with eczema on their face it’s crazy that people’s skin care routines are that many steps. Mine is two steps and I use the same products till they don’t work anymore.
What do you like to use? I have eczema but on my hands
@ there is a brand called eczema honey that has a really good hand cream. Other than that I use shea butter when I have flares on my hands.
omega 3 supplements help, as does d3/k2 drops - same condition
I recently found your channel and really love your content. Thank you!
I don't get the appeal of having 25 lip products and a 15 step skin care routine or keeping a drug store in my house. But then, I have never used Tik Tok or Instagram, so maybe that's why I don't care about weird trends and hoarding.
Thank you for making such an insightful video! It deserves more views.
I really enjoy your videos ❤ great work!
Thank you so much!
Very well said!! I didn’t even realize how often I partake in that fomo culture. I became very interested in 90s makeup a few years back so I bought all the staples and used them religiously and it was the first time I felt so pretty because the colors fit my facial features!! I stopped following the 2010s and 2020s trends because they didn’t suit me and im glad I did so. But of course some products are really tempting just because of the package. But I try my best to think about how it’ll actually look on ME opposed to how pretty it looks in my purse or vanity.
Trop de produits de beauté ont tué les produits de beauté !
Bonnjour de France.
Wow! This video is right on time. I love perfumes, and I have a large collection. I made a decision only to buy on my birthday and Christmas from now on.
Its so over whelming today, walking into drug stores like Boots or Superdrug ( UK) to be faced with aisles of make up brands and skincare 😮
I miss seeing regular people vs. these inauthentic, carbon copies... people look like commercials. 🤦🏾♀️
As some one who lived through proactiv, frying your skin off and bleaching your sheets and towels with that shit.... Skin care has come along way. I dont have acne anymore but even a zit sticker seems revolutionary compaired to begging your parents for a subscription to proactiv.
That’s so true! I’m glad there are more options now a days
I turned 35 this year, I mostly stay out of the sun and I always wear sunblock. There was a time a few years ago when I was like, "I should probably look into changing up my skin routine" I tried a few things, but ultimately, I always go back to CeraVe moisturizers, Clean&Clear for spot correcting, and I'm still figuring out a good sunblock. I do have a "night cream" that's thicker, which is also CV; my skin likes them and I love that they're unscented. I don't wear too much in the way of face makeup anymore, I just never found something that worked well and consistently enough and I was tired of spending time and money looking for good ones. I primarily wear mascara (combo of L'Oeral and Wet N Wild), lipsticks, which is where I like to experiment and eyeliner or shadows, and sometimes blush, but most days its just mascara and lipstick. My skin has never felt better, and yeah I have dark circles and I break out occasionally, but I don't care about hiding it, it's just part of being a person with a body.
LOVE your content! I’ve never been a big shopper for make-up and clothes. Since I’ve had my colors done, I buy just a few products that really suit me and that I stick to. I also found a good daycream with sunscreen that works really well for me. My routine is simple, functional and effective ❤
