Rachel, I absolutely love love love this video!! I could listen to you critique beauty products for hours!
First of all, yours is pretty much my go to opinion for all things beauty. Your aesthetic is just a spot on version of what makeup should be and do. I am drawn to the same beautiful shades for the eye, cheek, and lip.
I really enjoy your intelligent well spoken reviews. So many of us are sophisticated, smart women, yet our language is sadly too peppered with likes and such.
Lastly, after this video you have earned even more respect from me by refusing to take part in any ugly words that demean women. Bravo. And thank you. We need more women to kick this out of their vocabs.
Of course, you look great!!! You are growing more beautiful every post.
Hello dear Amanda,
Thank you so very much…very encouraging words to read!! The fact that you understand my reasons for not saying the CT lipstick name is heartwarming. Thanks for all you shared…I wholeheartedly agree that we, as women, have a responsibilitiy to shape the world's view of us!
Much appreciation for the kind compliment…xoxo, talk soon and have a lovely weekend,

I love the SK-II Facial Treatment Esssence! It's my skin care holly grail! Now I'm been using it about a year and the skin improvement is so clear! Skin is less reactive and much less sensitive now!
Isn't it divine? Such a wonderful surprise…glad to hear it is a HG for you, too!

So strange…it works for me…have you tried to view it directly on my YT channel

The Lancer polish is amazing. It's worth the high price tag. I've never used anything like it before. You are making me very curious about the Kevyn Aucoin lipsticks.
I am so glad you agree! The polish is a daily indulgence for me! I highly suggest the KA lipsticks…especially if you find a shade you love ; )

Hi BP!
Great video as usual! Loved it. I love the SKII Treatment Essence – what a lovely product. I am looking forward to your Jouer eyecream post! I love cream shadows and although I love the ones I have I am getting bored and want a new one 🙂 So I await your review for my selection.
I miss Kanebo Sensai SO MUCH! Super Big Boo Hoo.
xoxo SJ
Hello SJ!
Wonderful to hear from you…thank you so very much for the kind words! The SK-II Treatment Essence truly lives up to its cult status, no?
Jouer cream eyeshadows post in the works this weekend ; )
I, too, miss the Kanebo Sensai line like crazy!!
xoxo, enjoy the weekend and talk soon,

I am ashamed of how far behind I am on reading your fabulous posts!! Moving has caused a loss of both free time and internet usage, but I'm hoping to get caught up this weekend. Just wanted to stop by quickly and say that I loved this video!! So many great products to add to my wishlist. 🙂 I am intrigued by the SK-II line, especially after hearing your wonderful results. Hope you have a wonderful weekend! xoxo.
No need to be ashamed…life is so darn busy, it is difficult to keep up with everything! So good to hear from you…I hope you are getting settled into your new place and thank you so much for your kind words about my video! The SK-II line has completely exceeded my expectations…love it.
Have a beautiful weekend and talk soon…xx,
