Am I allowed to rave about the UV Essentiel? I tried the Kiehl's for a few weeks - but that really irritated my skin. The UV Essentiel has Zinc Oxide which my skin loves. But dear Lord, why so expensive Chanel? =D. Thank you for directing me to this sunscreen! <3
@juujubez I know, right?? All the good ones are expensive. I actually used up my UV Essential and now I'm using La Mer's.. which you should try next :) You're welcome <3
RAE! I know you used to use Shiseido's Sun Protection powder, but have you ever tried the liquid foundation? If not, you should totally try it! It's even more lightweight than VLA because it comes out like water instead of a gel-cream formula yet it has nearly full coverage. The spf in it is also really high so it saves you the trouble of an additional spf :).
Rae I just love your channel!!! I was just wondering if you will ever do a makeup collection&storage video?! I think it would be so interesting because you have so much nicer stuff than most 'in love with mac' makeup gurus here on youtube:)!!!
hi rae! I've been loving your channel ever since i saw it like a month ago! ( i wished i discovered it earlier though =( ) anyway, your videos are so informative! it can really benefit a lot of women. BTW, i just want to ask you something about this product of nail polish that i have been using. I'm currently using ORLY (im not sure if it's an american or asian brand). what do you think about it?
@redjinie Thank you! Some of my favorite colors are from Orly - the formula wears well - but my favorite polish brands are Deborah Lippmann and Chanel :)
@RAEview Nice I was just deciding between the two. I find they are both lighter foundations, but YSL T.R you need so much product it is insane and then it looks flat!!
@kikiLegit I personally do not use a primer with the foundation, just my Benefit Emulsion, but you should probably use a primer like Smashbox's Photofinish Light - nothing too heavy :)
@RAEview hey girl thanks for replying, I'm going to try it with and with out primer, but I'm dealing with acne rite now do u think I will break out more not using a primer?
@kikiLegit Hmm.. if you have very sensitive skin, try using a primer that you know your skin won't react negatively to :) I can't promise you anything because I don't know what your skin is like!
I love watching your product recommendations. You got me hooked on YSL semi-loose powder and I've been following since. Now you got me interested in trying La Mer powder foundation, but holy crap!? It does cost an arm & a leg D: Since you use linen shade, what shade would you recommend that is slightly lighter but with yellow undertone (NC25)? The only high end dept store in my city is Nordstrom and it doesn't have La Mer counter. Lamer.com couldn't give me an accurate swatch either :(
@gabrielle2526 I know, I wish it were less expensive. I'm going to try La Prairie's powder foundation later this year, which is a bit less, and compare the two. I think NC25 might be okay with Linen if used alone but you will most likely use Cream if you use it to set foundation!
Hi, I love watching your videos and you are just absolutly gorgeous but I have a question. Sorry I hope this doesnt offend you, but how do you have so much money to buy these expensive products when you're a student in college? Props to you though, totally jealous.
@Makemegoldgirl I have a scholarship and I work :) Plus, the only money I am ever willing to spend is on make-up for the sake of making my YT videos haha
Hi Rae! Do you have any HG loose powder? I've been looking for a good one that gives a matte finish and doesn't get cakey, I also have combination skin. Any suggestions? Thank you. =)
As a dedicated subscriber, I hope you don't find this question silly, but I needed some makeup advice. My Senior Ball is next Saturday- my dress is navy blue with a one-shouldered metallic detailing. I know you're a busy college student, so I'm not going to make the outrageous request of a makeup tutorial, but I'm Asian and probably will not be using colored contacts, and I was just wondering what sort of makeup look I should do with this sort of color scheme. Thanks so much! :)
@xoxojamieexoxo Blue looks great against brown eyes. I'd recommend using a silver eyeshadow to highlight your inner tear duct and lower lash line, then use a deep navy to smoke out the crease. Use a brighter blue of your choice right at the ball of your eye for a pop of subtle color and make sure to blend it into the deep navy and the silver! Don't forget to use a brow highlight - stick to a matte bone shade :) Have fun!
Hi Rae, what does the Kiehl's Super Fluid UV Defense SPF 50+ smell like? I love that it's super light and watery but I hate sunscreen that smell really strong. Thanks for your video! :)
What is the difference between the chanel mat lum. and the vitalumiere aqua?? I am oily so what would be better for me? I have problems with foundation lasting too.
Have you tried the La Mer fluid foundation yet Rae? I'm rather interested after falling completely in love with the La Mer powder foundation. But I would definitely prefer and appreciate your thoughts on it before I take the plunge. ^___^
@MBeth211 I haven't purchased it, unfortunately :( I have tried samples, though, and it's very rich - very much a medium to full coverage foundation with a true semi-matte finish. I like it a lot and think it would be worth the splurge!
@RAEview Thank you so much! I'll definitely have to drop by my LM counter soon. Would you say the shade Linen is too dark for my NC25 skin tone? I know you've stated previously that you're around NC30-35, which is why I'm a little concerned about purchasing the same shade you're using currently.
I really like your geo lenses!!! I was wondering how long do you usually wear them for and whether if you would say it is comfortable relative to other brands? Thanks :)
I'm actually going to Michigan this August so if you want to buy any Korean products you can ask me and I will send it to you ^^ It's inexpensive to buy it in Vietnam ^^
I checked out the La Mer powder after watching this video. The SA matched me as Sand which is supposedly two shades darker than your shade, Linen. Linen looks a bit darker to me though, what are your thoughts? I am about your skin tone maybe darker, what color are you in MAC? Thanks!
@Privateyes27 Linen looks darker because it has the most yellow undertone of all the colors in the range :) I think I'm between NC30 and NC35 right now!
i had been using chanel mat lumiere after i watched your review video on it =]] and thanks for your video that im in love with it!!
But now i am hesitating to try the VA one.=p May you do a full review on it sometime later? and also on the 3-sigma synthetic brushes if possible? Thank You so much for your videos =]
@yukienki The VA is much thinner but covers nearly as well as the Mat Lumiere! I'll be filming a review on the Sigma synthetic face trio soon.. I'm just waiting on the extra brush I bought because I'll be giving one away ;)
I was wondering what did you do to get your hair so brown? It's really pretty...did you bleach first, or just use the dye that is that color? I keep trying to get my hair that color but to no avail. :/
I am officially obsessed with the new Chanel aqua foundation ! Thanks so much for the recommendation Rae. Even after 7 hours at work, I still looked so fresh and matte by the end of the day. And that's an absolute miracle for an oily girl like myself ! <3
great video, as always!!! we have similar taste! do you like the La Mer Powder Foundation over the Chanel DOUBLE PERFECTION COMPACT NATURAL MATTE POWDER MAKEUP or are they not the same?
@acuity4ever1 Absolutely. I'm not a huge fan of the DP.. I prefer the older formula that got discontinued in 2009. That's saying a lot because everyone knows I'm a Chanel-ophile haha
Can you please please please do a review on Chanel's vita lumiere aqua? Is the coverage too sheer? I mean I'm really looking for at least medium coverage in a foundation, or I can simply get away with a tinted moisturizer. Also, does it cover pores?
im totally gonna have to buy chanel vitalumiere aqua now. does it last longer than pro lumiere? because i had that, and liked the finish but it never set, and didnt last very well at all! mat lumiere is too drying for my skin too as settles intro the dry parts of my combination skin. im hoping the new one will be somewhere in the middle! xxx
WOW, I think you are one of the few gurus that actually reply to my questions :) Thank you for your reply! I hope you can open like a post office box so that I can put my words of thank you's into reality :D
P.S. I totally don't mind your super long videos. Its all detailed with a full review, nothing I can complain about. Much better than a useless, informative video. I will be looking forward to your future videos <3
nice watchin your video again hun; i had been using chanel mat lumiere for the past fewmonths now! & i love it; my first pricey foundation but i think it worth it! after watchin your video i really want to try out the chanel mat aqua! thanks for sharing love ;]
Hi Rae! One of my favorite powders to wear is the ESTEE LAUDER Re-Nutriv Loose AND Pressed powder. I would love to hear your opinions on them ^_^! I have both of them but I prefer the loose one ^_^!
I really enjoy watching all your videos! They are informative, simple and to the point.
They are lovely products which you display so well. You are an excellent reviewer and I truly enjoy watching you. Take care and have a wonderful week! :-)
hey Rae, maybe you wanna try the Shiseido Sun protection compact foundation, i think the power is really finely milled and it doesn't look cakey at all =)
hi RAEview i love all yr tutorial... i have watch all of them,.... really thx for teaching and sharing.. great of u... Rae have u use this product name called bare minerals??? have u heard of it or use them b4??? apparently i heard is gd for sensitive skin and famous in state??? wanna ask yr opinion.. mind to share??
wow, this video was very long indeed...DELIGHTFULLY long! I adore watching your haul videos, so I devoured this one the moment I saw it in my subscriptions box :) I can't wait for all your upcoming videos — SOOO glad to have you back! -3
Hi Rae, I have an slight oily skin and am too a die hard matte lover! Currently I have, EL Double wear, EL Double wear light, and MUFE Matt Velvet. How does Chanel Vitalumier compare to any of these, coverage wise?? I've heard its more like a tinted moisturizer.
Rae, so glad you are back! Lovely video per usual =) two question: what color in La Mer's loose powder would you be currently, and what do you think of Chanel's yellow Mimosa nail color? x
I completely agree with you about buying expensive cosmetic and how that is impacted by encountering nice and genuine sale associates! It's so nice to watch your videos again, Rae! Thank you! :) <3
Hi RAEview! I have been wanting Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua since forever however the only thing that concerns me is the fact that it has SPF. I want something that is super natural yet still gives a good amount of coverage for my graduation ceremony but I will be taking pictures that day. How is it like in flash photography? By the way, I love your videos! Whether it be 10 minutes long or 30 its ALWAYS a pleasure watching your detailed and informative reviews :) Have a nice day!
hi rae, can you please explain how the guerlain meteorites compact works? i can't grasp the idea of a powder mattifying and illuminating your face simultaneously as the two are complete opposites. thank you :)
@LiANNNNE There are illuminating "spheres" but they're really just tiny, tiny illuminating particles in the powder. They're not sparkles or glitter :) What it means by "mattifying and illuminating" is that the powder will eliminate oil without making your skin powdery or flat, as though you're wearing a mask :)
does the chanel vitalumiere last longer than dior's forever? because i find the dior one to be very long lasting =) but id like to try out the chanel one because im out for 14 hours a day
It's so refreshing to watch your videos! I think you look great with your tan :) You mentioned you cook a lot. Would you consider doing cooking videos or perhaps food blog posts???
How does the La Mer compact powder foundation compare to the Laura Mercier Compact Powder foundation? And... what is your favorite loose powder? I have been watching your videos, and I'm curious if you are still using LaMer Loose powder!
Love your videos! So happy to see you again! (and I get dark really easy, and I live in NY, not Cali...:-p)
@wang9190 I like LM's Compact for dry skin.. it's very hydrating for a powder but I personally do not love it. La Mer's is better, more finely milled and more coverage! I'm using the LM Invisible powder but not her regular translucent :)
Such a great, in-depth favorites/review of products. I love how you take the time to explain each product, what you like about it, and how you use it. It really shows how passionate you are about makeup and that you want to share your knowledge and experience with your viewers. Very much appreciated.
i think that might've been the longest video you made.. (yay youre back =) ) but you mentioned both the luminous silk and lasting silk.. i was deciding between the two and i have the same skin type.. which one do you prefer more and why? there are no armani counters near me and we used to be the same color too but not anymore so i can't base that off you anymore to purchase online
@tarotcafez I prefer Lasting Silk because I have combination skin but it's so much easier to find a matching shade in Luminous SIlk! :) If you were similar to my skin-tone before I got tanned, you'd be 5.5 in Lasting Silk and 4.5 in Luminous Silk!
Hello Rae ! Lengthy video but so interesting ! Many thanks as always for your in-depth reviews. One question though : you said you're using the benefit moisturizer from benefit, which one is it ? Is it the b.right collection "total moisture facial cream" ? I'm on my way to buy the Chanel Vitalumiere aqua as your review was the final one that makes me definitely want to buy it now ! :)
Your videos are always so in depth, helpful and overall, fantastic. Thank you. :)
I've been using the Vitalumiere Aqua for a little over a month now, and I am OBSESSED. I've never used such a perfect foundation, and I've used MANY (I am similarly obsessed)....It's like a second layer of flawless skin.
Hi Rae!! I am soooo happy that you posted a vid and also a very long one! I agree with everyone else here, I love your lengthy reviews, I always trust your opinion and I always take note of what you purchase. I do have a question about the VA foundation. I've been seeing great reviews on them, but it wasn't until you reviewed it that I really wanted to purchase it! My face is combination oily... and also I get acne here and then, do you think the V.A would suit me?
Am I allowed to rave about the UV Essentiel? I tried the Kiehl's for a few weeks - but that really irritated my skin. The UV Essentiel has Zinc Oxide which my skin loves. But dear Lord, why so expensive Chanel? =D. Thank you for directing me to this sunscreen! <3

@puisanmoo I'm not a fan of Bare Minerals, as the original formula causes my skin to break out. It works well for lots of other women, though! :)

Hi Rae, I have an slight oily skin and am too a die hard matte lover! Currently I have, EL Double wear, EL Double wear light, and MUFE Matt Velvet. How does Chanel Vitalumier compare to any of these, coverage wise?? I've heard its more like a tinted moisturizer.
sagchick12 10 months ago
@sagchick12 No, it's much more buildable than a TM! It's got the coverage of DL Light :)

Hi RAEview! I have been wanting Chanel's Vitalumiere Aqua since forever however the only thing that concerns me is the fact that it has SPF. I want something that is super natural yet still gives a good amount of coverage for my graduation ceremony but I will be taking pictures that day. How is it like in flash photography? By the way, I love your videos! Whether it be 10 minutes long or 30 its ALWAYS a pleasure watching your detailed and informative reviews :) Have a nice day!

@jennyle52 Thank you <3 Also, there is a little bit of flashback with VA but nothing severe. Just make sure to use a powder without SPF to set it :)

hi rae, can you please explain how the guerlain meteorites compact works? i can't grasp the idea of a powder mattifying and illuminating your face simultaneously as the two are complete opposites. thank you :)
LiANNNNE 10 months ago
@LiANNNNE There are illuminating "spheres" but they're really just tiny, tiny illuminating particles in the powder. They're not sparkles or glitter :) What it means by "mattifying and illuminating" is that the powder will eliminate oil without making your skin powdery or flat, as though you're wearing a mask :)

does the chanel vitalumiere last longer than dior's forever? because i find the dior one to be very long lasting =) but id like to try out the chanel one because im out for 14 hours a day

@jennieisbetter No, it's not as long-lasting as Forever but it is quite good :) Pick up a sample and see if you like it!

How does the La Mer compact powder foundation compare to the Laura Mercier Compact Powder foundation? And... what is your favorite loose powder? I have been watching your videos, and I'm curious if you are still using LaMer Loose powder!
Love your videos! So happy to see you again! (and I get dark really easy, and I live in NY, not Cali...:-p)
wang9190 10 months ago
@wang9190 I like LM's Compact for dry skin.. it's very hydrating for a powder but I personally do not love it. La Mer's is better, more finely milled and more coverage! I'm using the LM Invisible powder but not her regular translucent :)

i think that might've been the longest video you made.. (yay youre back =) ) but you mentioned both the luminous silk and lasting silk.. i was deciding between the two and i have the same skin type.. which one do you prefer more and why? there are no armani counters near me and we used to be the same color too but not anymore so i can't base that off you anymore to purchase online
tarotcafez 10 months ago
@tarotcafez I prefer Lasting Silk because I have combination skin but it's so much easier to find a matching shade in Luminous SIlk! :) If you were similar to my skin-tone before I got tanned, you'd be 5.5 in Lasting Silk and 4.5 in Luminous Silk!

Hello Rae ! Lengthy video but so interesting ! Many thanks as always for your in-depth reviews. One question though : you said you're using the benefit moisturizer from benefit, which one is it ? Is it the b.right collection "total moisture facial cream" ? I'm on my way to buy the Chanel Vitalumiere aqua as your review was the final one that makes me definitely want to buy it now ! :)

Hi Rae!! I am soooo happy that you posted a vid and also a very long one! I agree with everyone else here, I love your lengthy reviews, I always trust your opinion and I always take note of what you purchase. I do have a question about the VA foundation. I've been seeing great reviews on them, but it wasn't until you reviewed it that I really wanted to purchase it! My face is combination oily... and also I get acne here and then, do you think the V.A would suit me?
