[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@hellokittyismyfavy Thank you! :D xxx

[leighmarikian]

Woohoo, someone with a sense of humor!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@leighmarikian Lol, thank you! I'm always really happy to hear that people are entertained with my brand of...cray cray :D xxxxxx

[gmadiva]

luv your dry sarcasticky humor

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@gmadiva Lol, thanks! Somebody on here has to be the a-hole. I'm happy to be that :P xxx

[bijousmere]

did you try the chanel rouge allure velvet on your lips yet? thoughts? are you going to be purchasing more of them? 

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@bijousmere I did a brief try-on (bc I suck at life :/ ) and since have bought another, and haven't tried it either..lol. I'm the worst "blogger" "youtuber" ever, essentially. I most recently purchased 37 (bright pink), which should be in a video I made tomorrow ( I think ). My cuz-in-law bought one this past weekend, wore it for hours and loved it. She didn't experience dry out or anything. Def worth checking out at the counter :) xxx

[MyQueenC]

Sultry, seductive peacock!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@MyQueenC :P xxx

[soapanicals]

You are the best

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@soapanicals Wow, thank you! So sweet :) xxx

[BalmaholicTV]

Your makeup collection is something I kinda wanna raid. Would that be okay? Yes? Excellent.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@BalmaholicTV LOL! I love the envy..love it. :P xxxxxx

[mgoskay]

you just convinced me to buy the guerlain palette,it's gonna be my first because i originally hate palettes,i just cant love every color on them generally.But you described it very nicely it looks like a look to me too.i'll just wait until your video using that

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@mgoskay Awesome! I love to hear the excitement. I'm going to hopefully do that video within the next week or so. I never really know..but I want to! :P xxxxxx

[TheStyleChronicles]

I think I need Cool Guava!!!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@TheStyleChronicles Agree...lol. I love the darn thing. And, I think it would look perfect on you :) xxxxxx

[luvemi7]

Your video's are great! I really like the way you do all of your tutorials and show the products! You are very helpful and you have great taste in makeup!!!!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@luvemi7 Thanks! As much as I mess around, I really do want to serve as a resource for other crazy consumers. There's nothing like seeing stuff close up to get the feel of it. I'm thrilled to be of any use :D xxx

[PinkCookie62]

This is a cool vid. Love the style of it, the close up of the products & swatching, u sharing your thoughts & sarcasm. Cool stuff. LOVE the #37 & 38!! & that palette ... Gorgeous. : D

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@PinkCookie62 Wow, thank you! I really appreciate the fantastic feedback. It never gets old, nor is the sentiment lost on me :) xxxxxx

[bitterrose1025]

I bought the Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet but I don't like how it looks on my lips. I'm going to try it as a blush. Thanks for the idea. :D

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@bitterrose1025 Oh yeah? That's too bad the color didn't work for you. Please let me know if the blush theory stands up! :P xxx

[loriprettysimple]

I am wearing the Shiseido stick today. Love it. Your stuff is gorgeous. I am in love with the "light pewter shadow". I love the entire eyeshadow palette. I am so drawn to blues and greens but they look like crap on my eyes. I have green eyes and when I wear those pretty mermaid-y greens and blues they make my eyes look yellow. :-) Enjoy your gorgeous makeup.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@loriprettysimple You bought it? Nice! It's so quality. Poor Shiseido. So many secret gems within the brand. And, I have the same situation with green and blues looking not so fantastic on me :/ BUT, I couldn't help myself. It will be an interesting challenge to see if I can actually make it work. Thanks for another lovely comment! :) xxxxxx

[thejools123]

I love all of the lip colors you showed. I am putting the YSL products on my wish list for the Sephora VIB sale next week.  Thanks for sharing! Stacie xo

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@thejools123 Nice! I'm glad I could be of any assistance/enabling :P xxx

[BeautyByKrystal]

Haha, you're a vlogger now :) AH! That Chanel 38 looks too gorgeous, I'm dying over it! I love when bright lippies make appearances in your blogs/vlogs.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@BeautyByKrystal I'm somethin'..that's for sure :P I get excited by bright shades, as well. I just wish I would have the cajones to actually where them more..lol. :D xxxxxx

[BeautyByKrystal]

@MakeupNeverSleeps You totally should! You have the lips for it, plus you're so lucky to have paler skin than me, I feel like you're a chameleon, you can pull off many shades and undertones <3

[Brittanytime]

...and this is me needing all three of the YSL Sheer Candies you put on here. I still don't have any yet. While my Chanel lipstick collection is thriving, I've been a little lackadaisical on the ol' YSL; which I will say I'm not happy about.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Brittanytime Lol! Girl, you're preaching to the choir. Just when I think that I'm "good" on lip products for a while...there's always something new. It's *exhausting*...lol. :P xxx

[MissHanaG]

Oh Rachel, what are you doing to me? I want it all! You have some nice new lipsticks and that Guerlain Palette is just gorgeousness on its own. Beautiful!!! I am looking forward to a tutorial :-) Lots of love, Hana x

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@MissHanaG Lol! That's the hard part about YT and blogs...the wanting of everything :/ And, I agree..the palette is totally glorious on its own. I'm hoping that I can figure out a way to make it work (and soon) :P <33 xxx

[susies7]

I am new to your videos....i think from Hanna G and just wanted to say I love your personality, please keep them up!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@susies7 Hana is such a class act. Thank you for the lovely comment and encouragement! :D xxx

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@natratanna I have and love 1, 9 and 10. I think they'd look good on most people. The ones I would advice against are numbers 2 and 3. They're both too sheer, and 3 has a slight gritty feeling. Otherwise, the others are solid. Just depends on what type of shades you're into. They have some great berry-toned colors and an awesome red. Despite the 2 lemons, you can't really go wrong! :) xxx

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@natratanna Hey Natty! The Sheer Candies are a completely different texture than the standard Rouge Voluptes. These have a more gel-like texture, but not as gel feeling as the Dior Addicts, for example. They feel smooth and slightly glossy, without sliding all over. And, they're not sticky at all. They dry down very nicely (w/o leaving the ring of death, etc). If you like(d) the Rouge Pure Shines, you'll def like these, as they're the replacement, I presume. I hope that helped! :) xxxxxx

[Effiekins34]

OMG I need Lush Coconut in my life!!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Effiekins34 You kinda do :P xxx

[jemorjerrica]

i'm about to post a FOTD w/Watt's Up. should be up tonight or tomorrow AM.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@jemorjerrica Awesome! I shall link. Essentially, I've outsourced my blogging to you. Bwhaha :P <3 xxx

[jemorjerrica]

the enabling jesses - LMAO

[jemorjerrica]

"residual remnant coloring" sounds sooo much nicer than "stain"! haha pleeeease don't make me want lush coconut now - i don't have that one! i'm not really feeling the rouge allure velvets, but man, the sheered out swatch looks amazing! great idea to try them as a blush (lisa eldridge!). by the way, i am SO SCREWED come january. i'm even excited about LANCOME (what??)!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@jemorjerrica Lol! Ya know, I'm kinda surprised that you hadn't gotten Lush Coconut by now, tbh. YOU'RE SLIPPIN'! :P

Jess.....what...happens...in January??? #ENABLEREXTRAORDINAIRE

[jemorjerrica]

@MakeupNeverSleeps spring collections hit stores. >_< i'm kind of insanely excited about dior and lancome's collections (and usually neither brand's collections excite me much...). i hope ysl's is AWFUL so i don't go broke! ha!

[star7733]

I just picked up the YSL 38 today and the salesperson told me to not bother with 37 Rose Déesse as she said it was too pale for me (I am really fair/blonde). Anywho I didn't even try it on and now I am wondering if I should have! Could you let me know if it works against your fair skin please?

Also I am nearly out of Chanel Chance, would you say the Cool Guava would be a nice replacement? Thank you!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@star7733 If you like really pale lips, then you'd love 37. Otherwise, you might not be a fan. Jess (Don't Call Me Jessie) is blond and pretty fair..maybe NC15 or so? She loves 37, but she also loves nude lipstick. It has a Winter-y Snow Queen feel, if that makes any sense..lol. Incidentally, Jess likens Cool Guava to be the YSL version of Chanel Chance. On me, Cool Guava warms up a little bit. I think it stays more cool-toned on here. Check out my links to her blog in the info box. :D xxxxx

[Yazzygogetter]

Great Stuff! I've tried those ultra creamy smooth textured YSL lipsticks. They are amazing. ;)

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Yazzygogetter Right? I'm loving the Sheer Candies. I still want another, in 8 Iced Plum :/ So much wanting! :P xxx

[oshinsr]

The Chanel lipstick looks gorgeous! I must check it out.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@oshinsr It definitely has a classic, glamourous feel to it (for the 5 minutes I wore it) :P Let me know if/when you end up trying it out! :) xxx

[MissZBeauty0412]

Holy uh! That Chanel lipstick is DA BOMB... it reminds me of a deep magenta with a strange purple/red undertone...And I would wear that as a cream blush in a HEARTBEAT! Lisa Eldridge just did a video on 5 ways to wear lipstick and this would be PERFECT for it. You should check the video out :) xo!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@MissZBeauty0412 I did totally channel Lisa Eldridge right there..lol. The first vid I saw of hers was her old/first "5 ways to wear lipstick" video. She's my hero. But yeah, the Chanel is a really confusing color; looks one way in the tube, another on the wrist, and another on the lips. All pretty, though. :D xxxxxx

[MissZBeauty0412]

@MakeupNeverSleeps OMG Lisa Eldridge is my make up god... And ya that lipstick is always pretty. Drop me a line if for some crazy ass reason you decide to blog sale this beauty...cause I dunno...I MIGHT be interested ;)

[isiartdotcom]

I'm loving your videos!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@isiartdotcom Thank you for that! So sweet :) xxx

[LisaLisaD1]

Loved this! I JUST got a Laura Mercier highlighter from their new collection that is the same rose-gold shade as these--love that instead of the silvery ones! :)) Lisa

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@LisaLisaD1 Lisa, I can't even tell you how excited I was to see your comment on one of my crazy little vids! I've been watching (and loving) your channel for years, and it totally made my day/night! It's so funny that you mention the LM highlighter, because it's sitting in my Sephora basket, waiting for the VIB sale :D Thank you so much for sub'ing and commenting. I can't even tell you how much it means to me :) <3 xxx

[michydarlyn18]

I got the Chanel rouge allure velvet in #40 le sensuelle. It dosent feel dry on my lips as I expected which is a good thing.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@michydarlyn18 Really? Nice! I read some negative stuff on makeupalley, regarding the dry-out lip factor, which I was surprised by. Just from the brief lip swatch I did, I feel pretty optimistic in saying that they wouldn't bother me lips either. Thanks so much for the comment! :D xxx

[fenz15]

I must say I got a good LOL from the "sultry seductive peacock" line! I'm still contemplating picking it up, seeing how I just picked up Les Gris. Ahhh why must Guerlain products be so tempting!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@fenz15 Ha! I never fail to surprise myself with super odd commentary. i just go with it and let it happen :P Les Gris? So pretty. Honestly, I want every single one of those quads, regardless of how they would look on me. They're just..magical. Guerlain is killing me right now! :D xxx

[MyBabyShara]

You're a pretty darn good enabler yourself missy. X

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@MyBabyShara Lol, thank you! :) xxx

[BunBunniful]

My wallet might hate me :P I have too many of the same products, I might consider the ysl lippies and shiesedo highlighter :)

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@BunBunniful Awesome! I stand firmly behind all of those purchases. :P xxxxxx

[TechnoCupcakeCom]

I just bought that Guerlain palette today. It's fracking beautiful. I couldn't resist. The colors seem a little crazy but it still looks so sophisticated on. Now I must get those sheer candies. Sigh.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@TechnoCupcakeCom Nice!! This makes me *extra* excited to actually wear it :D And, the Sheer Candies really are delightful. I would agree with that purchase. Thanks for the comment :) xxx

[beautyandtheblonde91]

I love our Jesses! (but not jesse (s) jesus. haha Love youuuu! and our little mu addict circle.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@beautyandtheblonde91 Agree. Love the Jesus Jess's and the weird web we all weave. #wordsmith :P <33 xxx

[yasjencon]

I love the sheer candies. I have the grapefruit but I want that coconut one. It's one of the only lip products I used up and it only took a month or so. Your Chanel lipstick is cute too. You are making me reconsider because I had my eye on number 37. The palette is gorgeous...lol peacock! I just found your brilliant vids so could you please tell me what camera you use? All I know is that it's a canon. Thanks.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@yasjencon Lush Coconut is super pretty, natural and wearable. Great shiny nude, for sure. Incidentally, I was tempted to order the RA Velvet 37, as well..but wanted to see if I liked the formula first. The irony is that I love red lipsticks, yet never actually wear them :P

Thanks! For product vids and/or "tutorials" (LOL) I use the Canon Vixia HF M300. It's not crazy expensive and gets the job done pretty well, I think. :D xxx

[Tokgabi]

Also. Sultry seductive peacock. Saw a slutty peacock costume at Target during the Halloween week. Yeah. Totally get weirded out by the whole bestial thing. Seriously troubling.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Tokgabi LOL!!

[Tokgabi]

That Chanel lipstick reminds me of the Taco Bell Fire sauce. I don't know. Have to compare some time . . . The Chanel probably has more fuchsia in it, geez, who the hell am I kidding. -__- Anyway. Rachel. Your videos are tooootally making me blow holes in my pocket. With, like, a Colt .45. I'm going to have to just keep away from your blog sale, wrap caution tape on around your videos . . . in my mind. Ya know.

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Tokgabi ROFL @ "I don't know..have to compare sometime". You always get me. #always But no, that lipstick is so confusing. I slapped a tad on after this train wreck video, and it went on darker than it looked on my wrist. It's a tricky SOB, for sure. "Colt .45"....love it! :D xxxxxx

[Bzibonjof]

wow that shiseido stick is amazing

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@Bzibonjof It really does have a lovely texture. Smooth and blends out so naturally. It doesn't exaggerate pores/lines. Shiseido is so underrated, in general. Thanks for the comment :) xxx

[MissDolledUp]

Oh Rachel, this is great..I just discovered that the Givenchy "It Girl Purple" blush that I love has a lower compartment housing a brush..duh ~ then I realize that I am a beauty addict being enabled by hand videos..and to top it all off..I am able to rationalize having 6 almost identical highlighters from various brands..oh wait.....I am dateless on yet another Saturday night. But hey, I love your videos!!

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@MissDolledUp LOL! That was a solid comment....solid. It-Girl Purple is slowly becoming a favorite blush..and I *never* hear about those blushes..at all. The texture is perfection. And, we're all with ya. Constant buying...never enough...never satisfied. Meanwhile, who needs a date when you own a shitton of awesome makeup? #nobody :P xxx

[PunchyPink87]

is there any chance you could do a video with your favorite high end products? I am trying to decide what I want to get for Christmas and I don't have any very high end products and am trying to decide where to start :)

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@PunchyPink87 I love that idea! I should totally do that, bc that would actually be helpful and relevant. I love where you head's at :D xxxxxx

[krisisnkaos]

MERLOT

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@krisisnkaos Lol! Nicely played. Exactly. Merlot! I wasn't fully on my game. I think we can all agree on that...lol :D xxx

[CocoPink44]

Girl you did good. Amazing taste you have! I have not yet seen the Rouge Velvets in person but want to. When I see them online so far they are not calling to me and pretty much everything Chanel calls to me. I have one of the YSL Candy Balm lippies and love it but it sure has not gotten good reviews

[MakeupNeverSleeps]

@CocoPink44 Thank you! I slapped a wee bit of the RA Velvet on, and I think they might actually be pretty nice. I'd have to give it a full go, however..bc there have been some complaints about them drying out the lips. We shall see. And yeah, makeupalley is throwing the RV Candies under the bus, and I don't really understand why..at all. I think they're a super nice formulation. I maintain my position :D xxxxxx
