These are like beauty confessions. I’m with you on all of these, including deep cleaning my brushes basically never. 😂

Oh, oh and I did the EXACT same thing with the Makeup by Mario liquid bronzer. It looks so pretty but I stopped myself because I am just not a fan of liquid bronzers!

OMG!!!! I got the Smith 157 on your recommendation and it SHEDS like nobody's business! I had to stop using it because it just left blonde hairs all over my face!! I would have loved it otherwise! I was so upset!

Allana if you don’t mind telling us what shade in L’Oréal powder you used? Thank you 🤍

Can we get the vacation mist in Canada??

Loving EDM, thank you! I know you often skip the brows for times’ sake, but I’d love a video dedicated to fussing over the brows because they are looking great and we all need a refresher! 👀🐛🐛

I love Meryl!❤

I, too, never got in to wearing strip lashes. I also wash by sponges and brushes with soap or shampoo...and they work! ♡

How about "what I eat in a day' video? Love old school YT videos. That bag fits a lot...and it's washable ♡♡♡

Love your natural looks, so fresh & beautiful ❤

Deinfluencing - the addicting act of living life better. Thank you for your "influence" to try a better way to embrace what I have.

No one I know that uses cinema secrets mentions the smell … I tried using it once but ohhhh my gosh it smelled like gasoline and i immediately returned it :(

Micellar water works well to get make up out of white clothes! I don‘t think it works on self tan though. I have ruined many a collar on light shirts but with this hack I‘ve been able to get most of rhem clean

Great

Wow

I am on team “sell the bags”! the Celine bag looks like it has very warm undertones and I feel like your wardrobe is more cool toned now? Definitely get yourself a sauna/cold plunge!!

I hear you on the liquid bronzer, BUT.. the bare minerals is actually perfect for underpainting! I go ham on my bare face, then concealer, a little foundation to buff it all together and it’s the most gorgeous natural tanned look. I get so many compliments on my skin when I do this

Right now I’m not buying skincare, self tanners, lip products, blushes, foundation, concealer and brushes. I used to be a hairstylist a $100 hair is life changing they smooth and reduce frizz the quality is amazing they last forever you can pass it down to your kids. Lol.

Would lovee to know what you think of the popflex_active wear (aka what Taylor Swift wore for rehersals) ❤

Omg I totally relate to the shoulder press AND watching Whitney throw up 40s hahahahah😭

On sephora I saw 2 hair clips by crown affair for 54 USD.... that's when I realized beauty brands are full of shit LOL. Love these videos and love that you are so realistic about stuff like this.

Allana, have you tried Inn-beauty Extreme cream? It was a blind item during the sale, it is amazing. I was looking for something for my neck & face…it is a facelift in a bottle. 😅

Dish soap works so well for cleaning makeup brushes!!

Scalp scrub = Epsom salts. 'Nuff said.

Looooove the hat! A large noggined gal myself lol And I love love, love the fisherman sandals. I grew up near Mexico, so I know them by a different name, but I had a pair as a little child and they were too big for me and it was one of those devastating things that I never got over and so I need a pair..

I hate the eyelash curlers i agree so much with you!!!I adore these videos!!!

Omg meowryl 🐈 ❤😂

I have been loving the no mascara look lately! Mascara always smudges on me unless I set my undereye really well, which sometimes I don't want to do in the summer! So it's been a win win for me

What’s your favorite shampoo?

a case for the $100 hair brush (i have a mason pearson): they are the best. simply, the best. they last forever. you never replace them. you get insane compliments on your hair, and it is essential for hair health. grab a mason pearson. you'll never look back. it's a one and done kind of purchase. i just bought my niece her first mason pearson--i'm hooked!

I've recently come to the conclusion that my eyelashes do better when I don't use an eyelash curler. I have always used an eyelash curler so this was a bit of a surprise for me when I randomly didn't curl my lases one day and it looked better. My hair is very stubborn whether that be the hair on my head or my eyelashes so I always thought I needed the eyelash curler. A product that I was influenced to but was an eyeshadow primer. I don't know if this is the case for every eyeshadow primer but the one I have always makes my eyeshadows patchy in areas even when I am setting it with something before going into my eyeshadow. I bought it so I keep using it hoping I will find the magical way to use it but it hasn't happened yet so I have a feeling once I use up what I have I won't but anymore.

you look so classy!!!

Never cared about using an eyelash curler till I was pregnant last year. Always had nice and lifted lashes, but since then they not only went straight but now droop down! Never thought I’d be the person to use a curler and waterproof mascara just to hold my lashes up, but here I am 😅

im not buying anything right now LOL!! i’ve been a lot more intentional about my makeup buying now. i used to hoard so much of it and i’ve started decluttering a lot of what i have but it comes with such guilt i find. i feel terrible for the waste in money and also product but i also just cannot hold on to all of it anymore.

Wet brushes are the best and I don’t think I’ve ever paid more that $10 for them. $100 is CRAZY

This was my favourite of the 3. Agree with everything!

“Clinique sun kissed face gelee” is an amazing summer/sport liquid bronzer tho if you’re active. It’s a gel-stain. Like a Benetint but a bit more forgiving. I blend in with a brush but fingers work. I feel like I can wear it to the gym with mascara and it’s perfect.

I blimming love this series! 👏

100% agree with brush sets. Fantastic for starting out and finding what you like but after that not needed

I love seeing what people need with them! Which wallet do you have? Looks like the perfect size!

For me it’s colorful eyeliners! I need a brown and black liquid liner, brown and black pencil, and a brightening waterline pencil. That’s it. I’m always attracted to fun colors, but I NEVER end up using them

No to the lash curler…totally agree. I use my pinky finger when you first apply while it’s still wet and it does wonders to curl. I got the best hair brush for $4 at Walgreens. This was so fun and helpful Alana

Eyelash curlers are a MUST if you’re Asian and have straight lashes

Love these videos. Sames with eye lash curlers! Bent lashes.. totes. Love EDM e seeing you each day. Uggh I have been oversleeping! Adore ❤x Psst. I ordered Mario liquid. Rut Roh! E I love the Dior.. should have watched you last evening! Because I didn’t need. Ordered Wayne Goss new face set, not eyes, just gold white synthetic e pretty, if it sparkles!! e ordered original his F4 foundation brush, that’s mi fav! Ok setting alarm so I don’t miss your vlog, you are very right…dang I got caught up in the Mario.. luv him but I have full compacts never opened. I have alot of same thoughts as you. Love EDM. Ty again Allana❤x

Same! Those are my everyday bag/car essentials. Plus, I keep a little "first aid" kit in Betty (my SUV :) lol bc I have 2 little girls, so that's a must. I have my sunglasses 👓 in my sunglasses compartment, but always carry another pair in my purse depending on what I'm wearing, lol. I have a sunglass obsession... kind of 😊. And yes, the wipes are soooo essential too!! I'm anal about charging my phone, etc, too. Oh yeah, so for the Beats ear pieces, I found a great pair that have a thin strap like thing in the back, so they stay put!! I'm glad I got them. They work great 👍. I'm probably describing them wrong. It's not like a stretchy band, but more like a sturdy black band that keeps them in place. Having a great water bottle is essential from keeping me parched. I thought i was the only one carrying Stevia packets 😅. Another thing I always have on me is my planner and a mini swifter for my vehicle, so she stays dust free :) Anyhoosens, love the OG, what's in my bag ❤. Every time I see your bag, I just want it so bad! I love everything about it... the size, the colors (goes w/ everything). It's perfection 👌. These are also great reminder vids, too in case you feel like your forgetting something 😀 Hugs xoxoxo ❤

I use my lash curler only on special occasions 😜

Does anyone know what brush Allana used with the bronzer? Thanks 😊

Totally agree! The only brush set I bought recently was BK Beauty X Nikki Makeup because it was a smaller curated set (no additional pointless brushes)! I love cream bronzer but I do occasionally dabble with the Jones Road bronzing gel (with the IT cosmetics brush) - it's SO natural 👍 thanks for your content, always informative and engaging ❤️

I totally agree with the eyelash curler. I already have quite a curl to my lashes so I have stopped buying them. The same goes for big brush collections, I’ve got my favourite face brushes and I prefer small eye brushes so there’s not a collection out there for me. I have never used false eye lashes ( strip lashes ) and I think that they have a tendency to take over a look. Thanks for the deinfluensing session! 💕

I've stopped buying foundations! I'm more of a concealer gal and I've never found a foundation I've been completely in love with so I've just stopped buying them.
