tag: makeup products i've seen on YT and have LOVED

thanks to the wonderful Rachael/TheRaerae1971, she created a tag today called "makeup products i've seen on YT and have LOVED" and i just had to make my response! i've bought sooooo many products based on what i've seen other YouTubers have used and i've only loved a few of them. i mean loved! i've purchased many things that i've liked but i've never reached for them after a few uses. and sometimes i've purchased items that these YouTubers have raved on and on about but when i finally get my hands on them and test it on myself, some of these items just don't work for me... and i'm not one for returning makeup because i always think i can make it work for me... and i just feel weird returning makeup even though some places allow it and i know a lot of beauty YouTubers do it all the time...

anyway, i loved this tag! i wanted to do a tag like this a long time ago to feature products i purchased because of Emily/EmilyNoel83 but i thought that was a bit stalkerish - LOL - and when i saw this tag, it was my opportunity to do it! it was actually really hard to do because what i just mentioned above... because i didn't love everything i bought because of other YouTubers' recommendations and reviews. i mean i like everything i've bought but i've not constantly reached for them... i guess it's just hard for me to absolutely love something because my collection is too big. when i buy something new, it's like the primary focus, but then when i get something else, all products get pushed to the back. so this is kind of why i'm doing daily videos so i can eventually touch everything in my makeup collection. it's actually working and i'm finding things that i forgot i had... like that NYC sheer red lipstick i featured in the video. i think i'm going to do this tag again in about 3 months time (or even monthly? or is that overkill?) so i can feature more products because i'm sure i can find some more in my collection... xoxo Kathleen
