Heyyyyy thennnnnn,
Obviously, as I review and pretty much collect so many different types of products and brands, I get comments suggesting brands I should test, which I love! The comments section is where I discover a lot of new brands. But there are some that i've tried and hated and….probably will never show up on my channel anymore!
So today I thought id share some brands that….ive tried a fair amount of products from but…and...have always been left disappointed with. And also some products I will never try!
And please remember that just because I don’t like these brands products, doesn’t mean they aren’t good or that I thin k they should all burn in hell, its just unfortunately more of their products were a thumbs down rather than a thumbs up for me!
Today we discuss Thayers Witch Hazel Toner, Florence By Mills, Charlotte Tilbury and my reaction to Wishful Skin

Huda is good at “copying” other products and then touting as her own creations which is why I won’t support the brand. That and it is expensive and overly fragranced.

kkylaye ⍌ from the reviews I’ve seen it’s pretty hit or miss. The eyeshadow palettes have really good reviews, her foundation and powders are super full coverage and very much Instagram makeup. Same with her contour creams. And everything is super fragranced. Her brand definitely caters to Instagram makeup. If that’s what you like, you’ll probably love it, but if that’s what you don’t like, you might hate it.

clearly huda knows that Korean/Asian beauty/skincare is more innovative than American skincare. BUT like you said she should mention that her skincare line is inspired by asian skincare.

Sure, I've moved onto a better toner but hey, it's fine if something works for some and not for others with how complex a person's skin can be.

I'm currently using the one with rose water in it. Seems alright. There was a period of time I swore by it whenever I'd break out (made my skin better) and then a period of time I couldn't use it at all, as it would irritate my skin. Now I'm back around to using it daily and it's fine, for now. I am kinda craving something more moisturizing at this point, though. My skin is also sensitive and very acne prone.

Totally agree on the science/ spirituality stuff! I love having crystals around, they look great, and if they really bring more positive energies into my apartment, then great, they certainly don’t hurt anyone. But like putting them on the skin? Why? I think one can believe in tarot and rituals etc, and still listen to sciences, when it comes to health and skincare (which also is a health issue after all). People act like you can just believe in one or the other, but no, I love both 😊

Thanks to you and Euni I now have clearer and non irritated skin. I know you’re not experts which you always say but I’ve been going to a dermatologist for years, getting facials etc. And they couldn’t treat my dry, eczema skin. So I’ve used my really strong eczema creme for years and that really damaged my skin.. but I think what people get from you guys(and other skincare KZfaqrs) is the interest in ingredients. I’ve always been the person who believed in the marketing of a product. Which of course was stupid with my skin type 😅 but I’ve learned about good and bad ingredients, products etc for my skin through you two. I only use my eczema creme for spot treatment now which is really rare. I can go hours without feeling dry, and I now have people compliment my skin instead of asking “if I’m okay?” Since my face always was covered in eczema rashes and bumps. So THANK you James. You’re not an expert but you’re videos still helps people a lot more than you think ❤️ (Sorry for the long post and the English btw! I’m from Denmark and not fluent😂)

I’ve heard Cetaphil lotion is a dupe for magic cream - if I paid $100 for a jar I’d want to save it, then what’s the point? Imagine having people go ga-ga over something that gimmicky - I’d almost feel guilty.

You're right about the Thayer's and thanks for the clarity of calling it an astringent. I don't use it as a toner anymore bc it made me compensate for hydration even more. I do use it after washing my face whenever I have "heavy" makeup. Keep reviewing these brands and items as they are helpful! Thanks so much!

i completely agree with you on the asian skincare point! as an asian person myself, it is kind of offensive when western brands take our products and then act as if it’s some kind of new innovative invention and i think it’s very disrespectful to the countries that are so far ahead in the game of skincare. like you said, not everything needs to be credited but when these are countries that have essentially revolutionised the world of beauty, it’s only fair they should be given credit or at least referenced to as a source of inspiration. thank you for this video!

I can’t believe how expensive they are! Thank you so much for your reccomendation of HoliFrog, it’s completely changed my skin care regimen. Thank you thank you!

@Satakieli5 4 жыл бұрын

I would rather pay that price for a cerave product than that serum. They are just loading their products up with ingredients that have no scientific studies to prove their effectiveness. They are riding the beauty scam of 'natural is better'. They claim the vitae serum has 31 ingredients to target wrinkles and aging but their product doesn't contain the only scientifically proven ingredient to target those issues which is retinol. From off the top of my head I'd say more than half those ingredients are more fragrance than effective for skin care. They advertise that their product has 72 botanical ingredients which should already be a big red flag and make you keep your distance. That's just 72 possibilities for sensitivity and a time bomb of allergies if you keep using the product.

I got a sample size of one of her serums and the scent was soooo overpowering. It made me cough lol. I can’t say if her other stuff is the same but I’ve decided to use the sample I’ve got on my neck because it doesn’t seem to do much but the scent is hardcore for at least half an hour or so.

I'm glad you covered the use of witch hazel! Honestly its the only "old fashioned" step to my skin care. I unfortunately still get breakouts here and there and have very very oily skin. This may come across as strange, but I like to use witch hazel once or twice throughout the day when I'm wearing makeup instead of constantly plotting off oil. I literally just use witch hazel from the pharmacy section nothing gimmicky at all (its $3 or something) and then I put it into a little spray bottle and gently mist my face with it when I'm looking oily as hell. Feels refreshing for some reason. Could all be in my head, but I do see a difference and less oil. Never notice it break up any makeup on my face either.

@joannej_Youtube 4 жыл бұрын

I use it too, lol! I first bought it to use as a toner, but the non alcohol one. I have dry skin, so I eventually switched to a more hydrating face toner. I now use the witch hazel to clean my feet after gardening or walking, lol. I often get scratches or cuts and can't feel them because I have neuropathy. Last year I had a small cut get infected and it was quite serious, so now I give them a nice dousing of it so it can act as a disinfectant on cuts I may not be able to see.
