Right!! I’m so excited to have found them (or well, for them to have found me - that brand is so up my alley!)

They’re both such great brands! 😍

Sure! And thank you so much! 🥰

Ohh did the brightening cleanser grow on you? I don’t have it anymore, but I hoped the person I passed it along to might enjoy it! I figure it could be just a scent clash with my nose haha!

@@AliceintheRabbitHole The scent did grow on me! I have learned to not judge something so fast! 🙈. I will say it is not my favourite scent (but way better then Elemis marine cream, that smell is killing me using it daily, I actually sold my night cream as was too scared to open and realize it smelt the same, then I’d have to use it as I refuse to waste it just due to the scent I dislike... that stuffs expensive (even on sale)! 😂 I love the more gentle cleanse Indie Lee gives… I think for years I was just so used to that bar soap cleaning (even my Dr Brandt brightening cleanser gives me that ‘squeaky clean’ feel and I rarely use), I did not know what to think of that indie Lee at first. I am almost done my bottle and realized I want another, so yup… it grew on me! 🥰 Unless I find on sale I will not be picking up however, it is $45 here at the Fairmont Hotels. 😱. For shower I have Hanskin bubble cleanser to crack open and I think a Grace & Stella one too. So I’m ok, but if I see on a sale, I would 💯 buy that Indie Lee cleanser again! 👏

RIGHT!

Oh thank you! It’s actually Revlon Colorstay (the best drugstore olive foundation!) and the rest is canmake! Canmake blush, canmake lip. Super affordable look! Yep it means so much to me to see brands doing things right 🥹

@@AliceintheRabbitHole good to know!

Yep definitely, I really like (and respect) their brand overall. As for prices, watch Ulta - they run a lot of deals on the brand! 😍

“Non GMO salt” is the one I bring up to make my brother groan - it works every time! 🤣

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Oh, or salt with an expiration date. Salt is essentially a rock, and a very old rock at that,

Thank you! Yeah, it’s so nice to see a little company that’s doing things right - not bad on the pricing either!

I FEEL IT!! Omg I think it’s a rule of makeup that we have all done this at least once 😭🤣

I adore Isntree! It’s also been awesome to watch them grow - they seem to be flourishing lately, which is so great to see. Love when an awesome brand does well!

Indeed. Yeah in retrospect, I’m not even sure why I said I’m “one of us” - it’s probably “most of us”. But we will get through it! ☺️

@@AliceintheRabbitHole absolutely! If anything it has shown us how resilient we all are!

Her channel is fantastic! I’ve yet to try that specifically, but I’ve been exploring other antioxidants paired with red light. I hope we get more published lit (especially with larger participant numbers) in the future - I think there’s a lot of potential!

Yeah. I feel like I’ll never forget the day we all were sent home for lockdown (is this true for all of us?) - I knew deep down that was the beginning of a huge change. But yep, hanging in there for sure!! 🥰

Definitely. I like the brands that steer clear of “toxin” type of language (ugh the worst lol)

@@AliceintheRabbitHole exactly. Clean doesn't mean better or I am a dirty girl for using other stuff 😂.

Oh no definitely not! I’m taking it easy from a recent reaction, but I do enjoy scent in my skincare (when it works for me: mostly in my cleansing steps! ☺️)

@@AliceintheRabbitHole Ohhh, I'm so happy to hear that--and yes I meant scent particularly in cleansing and maybe body butters. I love a good quality scent in body butters. So thrilled I found you. Love your content.

You too! I will say im glad the weather is nice - will stay home and enjoy it in the yard haha. Hope it’s nice over in your neck of the woods 💕

@@AliceintheRabbitHole We have had rain, rain and more rain! Now the heat is in the way. Climate change has really changed the weather pattern here. 💕

Thank you! They’re quite fun! 🤩

I just read it went up by 8.5ish% in May…that is BATTY 🥺

@@AliceintheRabbitHole It is awful. The food and gas are just outlandish. Here is hoping it gets better quickly.

Very much so 🙏

Wellllllll let’s just say I didn’t feel like making a video naming and shaming who I don’t like (have done that enough LOL), but rather uplifting the brands I do haha!

It’s good ol’ Blinc at the moment - but my quest continues for a good drugstore option. I actually got back into them because of Merit’s; I realized how nice it can be to just rinse off the little tubes vs scrub lol!!

Oh my godddd wowww!! So instead of the full size, they keep sending a sample!? GET IT TOGETHER SEPHORA!! Glad you’re getting the bonus SK-II mini though. I can’t believe it’s an ounce - that’s actually an amazing value ($40ish!?)

@@AliceintheRabbitHole yep... I couldn't believe it I had ordered the the YSL tinted moisturizer cause I'm super tan now and have not a thing to match me so I decided to try it and they had a set for the same price ware u got a mini dewy sting spray and the glow bomb primer from the nu YSL line so I ordered it both freaken times sent the samples of the set with no tinted moisturizer u want to talk about mad girl I al.ost lost it I had to apologize for to the lady for freaken out and tell her it wasn't her fault but super frustratinh and it's been going on for weeks I got the ship subscription to I'm supose to get stuff in like 2 days rip off I have literally had it almost 2 years and got maybe 2 or 3 orders in that time period. So yes I said u can send me the sk11 gwp for all the hastle literally they should have overnight it because of what's happen more then once they did do that 1 time I got a broke pallet well u been sending me samples for the 42$ I spent and maken me wait been going on 2 weeks of this. It's crazy I was so mad I said look I don't need no more samples I don't want this to happen don't even put that stupid set on their just put it under the tinted moisturizer and that's it because I don't want this to happen again I don't know if the ware house workers and the person that was suppose to fix it are just dumb lazy or can't read but this is getting rediculas. Omg I had to tell u..lol 😂 I saw that line u reveiwed the bee one before on Amazon they have all kinda of stuff even body stuff but I thought it was just one of those bulk supply companies people could buy from and sell I didn't think it was like a real indie type brand but I saw some cool items even like body scrub body oils and serums along with all the face stuff they have more then I thought. Did u see topical brand got new products did u see PM is trying to be ND and make mini pallets now it pretty cute wonder if the quilty is their probably new special shades in it she is known for. I may get it though but I really think I want the new ABH pallet I feel like it's been forever since they released the og and not the norvina ones and it's like a everyday type of pallet I would get use out of so thinking of that and dermalogica has a new powder wash? What that's like 3 now this one's suppose to aha and BHA too I have a mini in my cart ..lol they Sephora brand enzyme serum looks cool to me has good reviews but I haven't seen anyone reveiw it. I swear it's the year of skincare and base products and tons of bronzers lys released their stick bronzer those Mario things he made all complicated like what is it ..lol Nars cream bronzer, Saie , CT cream even Chanel release new shades of their cream bronzer after all these years.

@@AliceintheRabbitHole I'm super happy about another once of sk 11 that's the only good thing about it I'm really liking it , scary thought I'm hoping I don't fall in love with that expensive ass shit..lol I still love my RNW too though thinking maybe like u I should do a side by side of the too products.

🥰🥰

I’m over here scratching my head at a perfect dupe: the G&G really is in a category of it’s own LOL! So good for really, really deep hydration. However, I am SO pleased with the Isntree onion toner!! It might be worth checking out if you want to swap the deep (light texture) hydration for light hydration with a focus on evening skin tone? Otherwise, I do think that hefty hydration sensation almost always comes in heavier feeling toners. But I’ll keep thinking haha, maybe something will come to me! 🤣

@@AliceintheRabbitHole lol yeah G&G is one of the best so it would be hard to replace but that isntree toner does sound nice, I might give it a try. Thank you😊
