 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. So for today's video, I am going to be talking about makeup products that I thought I would use more. So basically, I bought them with full intentions of using them a lot and loving them and what they brought to the table and I just don't really use them. I think specifically within the last year, it has definitely kind of gotten out of hand for me just because I've fully invested into my YouTube channel and providing you guys with content and my opinions on new makeup releases. So this year especially, my makeup just hasn't gotten as much use as it used to. So there were so many products I could have pulled but I tried to pick the products that I was most excited about at the time of purchase and then like nothing. What's also really really exciting about this video is that it is in a collaboration with Kelsey Breonna J here on YouTube. I literally like I've been obsessed with her videos since the day I found them. She is so funny. Like if you want a good laugh, seriously watch her videos and not only are her videos hilarious but she knows what the heck she's talking about. She's so talented. She has so much knowledge about makeup to give and it really is just so enjoyable to watch her. So I wouldn't recommend her to you guys but I didn't think you would like her. If you don't already know who she is, please subscribe to her. She is awesome. I'll link down below her version of this video. Please go check it out. She's awesome. I love her and I don't know getting to talk to her on the phone and discuss the collaboration and all of this was like really surreal for me. I just can't believe I'm getting this involved with YouTube and it's so awesome to meet these people that I watch online. I just can't believe it. Yeah, I will gush more about her at the end of the video. So let's just get into it. So the first thing I'm just going to start off with a BAM. Not too many people ask me about this just because it's really not my niche but I did pick up the Morphe and James Charles collaboration palette. I just felt as though it was a collector's item. I thought I was going to do a ton of looks with it. It's a very inspiring and great palette to have in my collection. As you can see, there's so much color. I bought this the week that it released. It was in my Ulta. I didn't like search it out and wait online on the website to order it. But when I did see in stores, I was like, all right, I'm going to pick it up before it sells out. This came out, I believe. Definitely around like Thanksgiving time and guess what? I'm honestly ashamed to say this but I have not used it once. I've swatched a few shades and I really, really do need to use this but this has just really been put on my back burner because you guys don't seem to express too much interest in it and there's so many other things that I want to try that I think you guys will like. And I mean, I'm not a big Morphe diehard person but I do enjoy picking up their stuff because they market so well. But I, you know what? I'm creating a look with this palette. I need to. It's ridiculous that I've had this for months and haven't used it yet. I guess I'm just going to continue with eyeshadow palettes. This one also is another Morphe palette. It's not because I don't love it. I just have so many other palettes but this is the Jaclyn Hill palette. Obviously this came out a couple of years ago and I mean, this was before I even had a channel and I was hounding this palette down. I have used it numerous times but especially in the last year I really haven't picked it up that often and people still use it, talk about it, love it. And I was obsessed with this palette. I thought I was going to use it every single day. It was going to be my go-to palette and it's a good palette. It's really beautiful. I just have so many other palettes that I had spent so much more money on. This just wasn't one of my top drawer products. But it is gorgeous. I don't have anything bad to say about it. I just thought I would use it way more than I ended up. I mean, that is very easy for me to say because my eyeshadow collection is ridiculously large. That's my favorite thing to collect. It's just my thing whether or not I use it. I was just reminded that I probably should bring that guy out. You know what would be a good idea? This honestly would be a good palette to bring on vacation. I mean, it's kind of large but I'm going on long vacations this summer so maybe I'll bring that, give it some love. Okay, so the next one, this is kind of not particularly this product but the concept in general. The Too Faced Holiday Kits. I'm just so obsessed with the Holiday Kits. This was from two years ago. This year I did not fall victim. But I mean, the palette that they came out with this year looks exactly the same. This actually I don't think is very bad quality. It's pretty good. It's not the best quality in the world but like I said, it's good. It's usable and this palette has really pretty colors and really good looks that you can get out of it. But I just don't feel inspired by this palette for one. It was just more about possession. I think when I was going to get this palette because there are a lot of different colors but I just don't feel very inspired by it and it's the same with all of the other Too Faced Holiday releases. So I finally have been strong enough to say no. Well for one year I've been strong enough to say no. For a while I was collecting these every year and they just never really got the use that they should have gotten. So I finally have stopped but they're just so pretty to look at. The whole concept is cute and I always confess myself I'm going to use these a ton. They're gray and I just forgot. So last eyeshadow palette I was obsessed with this palette. I had to fight to get it. I feel like it's so gorgeous. I thought I was going to use it all the time. This is the Blood Sugar Palette by Jeffree Star. I don't even think I've ever mentioned this on my channel. Maybe I have but I really don't think so. I thought I was going to love it. You can get neutral looks. You can get purple looks and you guys know purple looks are my favorite and I just thought I was going to reach for this a ton and I just don't. I don't regret buying it. There's nothing wrong with it but I just feel like I have so many other more palettes especially now like purple palettes that really speak to me so I just don't grab for this as often as I thought I would. Really no rhyme or reason. I was just so incredibly excited to purchase this palette and I just never really ended up using it often. I did use it a few times. Definitely way more than I've used the James Charles palette. But this I don't know. I feel like it's definitely a collector's item. I was so tempted to get his new blue eyeshadow palette that came out and I finally said to myself nope, don't do it. It's a waste of your money. If I bought it, it would just be a collector's item to look at and touch but I hardly would ever use it. So I decided to allocate my money to something that I would at least like to review and use for you guys and that I would use more than once. So I said no to that but it's hurting my heart a little bit. Over the past few years, I've always been taken by Nars Eyeshadows. They have since I believe repackaged. I'm not sure about reformulating but I loved buying their single eyeshadows. These have been collected over the past few years. It's not a ton but I'm always so enamored by their eyeshadows with the lights hitting them and Sephora you know. So I picked up these like dual intensity. I have three of them and they're so gorgeous and I thought I would reach for them a ton. I mean these ones in particular, these dual intensity are years old. They're probably far past their expiration date but I can't get rid of them. I can't find it myself to get rid of them. I paid so much for them and they're so pretty. Every time I think about getting rid of them I swatch them. I'm like nope keep but I never use these. I also this I picked up actually within the past year. This Nars eyeshadow in Lunar. I've used it once since I've purchased it. I'm missing myself. I would use this one a lot because it's purple and I love purple. And then this one I think is my newest purchase. I purchased it within the last six months. Right before they repackaged this is Kauai. Haven't used this once. I don't know. There's something about the Nars single shadows that I'm always so tempted to purchase and just based on the fact that they're single shadows. I don't reach for them. I will just grab a shadow that's already in the palette that I'm using. Nars in particular, they really just catch my eye and I always convince myself I'm going to use these all the time and then I never do. It's just inconvenient. They're packed away in a litter drawer. I never think to use them. I really need to look into starting that like my top makeup drawer for the week or for the month kind of video because I think that's a good way to force me to use this stuff because it's not that they're not good. I just don't think about it. Also, these Inglot shadows, I walked into an Inglot store one day and it was my first time ever being in Inglot. I had heard of Inglot, especially from the UK makeup artist. You know that I follow on Instagram and I feel like Inglot's kind of dying but it used to be quite popular and I loved the store. I had a lot of fun. They had a lot of really neat products and in particular what really stood out to me in the store were these pure pigments, just these loose pigments. They are so beautiful. Here are the three that I purchased. I mean, they're so reflective and so shiny. I tend to be attracted to really glittery single shadows in any form, cream, liquid, powder. If they're glittery and shimmery and duochrome and reflective, I'll buy them and I thought I was going to use these a ton and I think I've used one of them once. And again, there's nothing wrong with them. They're so gorgeous. I don't know why I just haven't reached for them. A lot of times I'm testing things for my YouTube channel. These really haven't been relevant to my YouTube channel. These again needs to be sitting in front of my face when I do my makeup because these are gorgeous. These swatches right now, I want to put them all over my eyes right now so I'm going to use these tomorrow. Also, colored eyeliners. I never, ever, ever use. I try to get into them. I do like a good colored eyeliner in my waterline but things like liquid and gel liners that are not black, I'm not going to use. So I bought this. I don't even think they'll sell us anymore but this is Bobby Brown. This is the Longwear Gel Eyeliner in Hunter Ink. It is a dark green. I was like, oh my gosh, this is such a nice play on black. I love green eyes and I think this will really flatter my brown eyes and it's just something different from black. And I mean, I just always use black. It sounded like a good idea at the time when I bought this but I think I've maybe worn this once. It's just not... I will only ever use black or brown eyeliner on my upper lash line. Unless I'm doing a crazy look for YouTube or something but other than that, especially in everyday life you will never catch me reaching for a colored eyeliner. I also have this NYX White Liquid Liner. First of all, this is difficult to use. This is an even good quality, in my opinion. Just colored liners in general that are in a liquid or gel form I will... I just never use them. As long as we're talking just like a line on the upper lash line I will never, ever use these. I'm not artistic enough to get really fancy with my eyeliner either. I know there's a lot of amazing artists here on YouTube and on Instagram that are always using colored eyeliner and doing cool pictures. Like I'm just... I'm a... I'm a beauty artist. I do like beauty simple makeup that matches your features. So this is kind of the last eye product that we have here. This is the Wonder Brow. There was a time that this was really trending. It is just like a gel eyebrow product that's supposed to stay on forever. That's kind of its niche. I thought I would use this all the time because I mean it really does stay on like forever. It is amazing for longevity. But it's kind of a pain in the butt to apply. I use it with just my regular eyebrow brush. But it really... I have to put it on my hand. I have to put it all over my brush and kind of wipe it off as not to get too much product. And it's just a pain in the butt. I'm really into either eye pencils or eye powders. Not even pomade so much anymore. So this is just a lot harder to use than a pomade. You have a lot less control. And it's kind of a pain in the butt. It does a good job. Once it's on, it's on and it's good. And I thought I was going to use it all the time. I tend to use this a little bit more in the summer because you know you're hot and sweaty. This is going to withstand the summer. So this is a really good product. And I do try to reach for it every now and then. But it's a pain in the butt face products. We're going to start off with blush. So we have the NARS Illuminating Loose Powder. I was hounding it down for a long time. It's one of those items where I would always go into Sephora and swatch and just go, oh look how pretty. And then one day I finally decided to shut myself up and purchase it and I never use it. I would have thought that this being on my mind so much I would have used it more. But honestly for my skin tone, I should have known better. It's just such an awkward color. It's too deep to be a highlighter. Too light and shiny to be a blush. So it's just like I don't even know what to do with this. I think on medium to deep skin tones this is fabulous. I do have the advantage that I can put this in my makeup kit when I do some money with a medium to deep skin tone. So I am lucky in that regard. But I thought I was going to love this for myself. I do love the whole orgasm shade. I do love that gold shift. But this is just like awkward on my face. This is an awkward color for me. Like I said I swatched all the time. I loved on it. I stocked it and I never use it. Oh my gosh. When this came out I was obsessed. Especially with the first one. I had to have to have them. I was like this idea is revolutionary. I'm going to use this all the time. I love color. Holographic highlighters. This is kind of a general statement. I did pick up Moon Child. This was kind of the first of its time. There was like crazy holographic colors. I remember thinking this is gorgeous. I love colored makeup. I can't wait to rock a purple highlighter. And also I did end up picking up Aurora as well as if I didn't learn my lesson the first time. I didn't pick up their other one that they came out with. I had learned my lesson by then. And I mean I still keep this in my collection because I actually will say I do use these during Halloween. But that's a one night a year kind of thing. And every now and then I'll do like a crazy look and I'll pick up a purple highlighter just for peace of mind that these are getting a little bit of love. But it's not like I don't use these. But I just remember saying to my mom of course I'm gonna wear a purple highlighter. I will rock this pink highlighter for the rest of my life. It's just not practical, okay? I'm sorry. I hate to tell my old self that but it's not practical. The two Fenty Beauty the Kilowatt highlighters I do have a couple highlighters from Fenty that I do like. But okay first of all how many carrots? It's gorgeous. I love it. I do need to use it more. I don't know. It's just something that I never think to use. This putting all over your decollete or sometimes I literally will just take it and pat it on my eye. I don't use this enough. I don't have an explanation as to why I don't use it. I definitely thought I would use it more. I am a glitter girl. So no explanation. I just need to remind myself that I have this. So I'm holding myself accountable. Okay this one trophy life. I bought this knowing it wasn't going to be good for my skin tone. But I didn't care. I just wanted to have it because this is one from the first launch of Fenty. This is gorgeous. I mean I need more highlighters of this quality in a better color because this really only looks good on really deep skin tones as a highlighter. I have used it a few times. I really have. I've used it as an all over at lid color and it is gorgeous, glittery, gold. It is such a good product. I just convinced myself to buy this giant pan that I can only use for eyeshadow because of the hype and I thought I was going to use it a ton because everybody, everybody was trying to make it work for them. But let's be honest at the end of the day this could never work as a highlighter for me. It does a shrub as an eyeshadow color. Absolutely great. Great. But you know it's a lot of money for this giant pan of glitter eyeshadow and if you're only using on your eyelids you better be using this everyday if you want to put a dent into it. So I knew, I guess I knew I wasn't going to use it all the time but I convinced myself that I would use it all the time. So I hope we're ready to move on to the last product. This was kind of a gimmicky product that I fell victim to. This is the Siate Glitter Flip. Mine is called Hollywood. This is from the first release. And so essentially what it is, it's a liquid lipstick. You put it on your lips, purse your lips together and then glitter magically appears. I mean you can get a bigger gimmick than that but I was like this is amazing and I love glitter. I'm going to use this all the time. They have since come out with some more wearable colors of this but like this is the biggest gimmick. I mean it's a gorgeous color and they say like you have to let it set and then kind of rub it and then you'll get the glitter to show up. I just had convinced myself that I'm such a glitter fan that this was going to become one of my go-tos and it's a pretty color, don't get me wrong. I don't have anything really bad to say. I mean it is a gimmick but it's pretty on the lips. I've been into more nude lips lately. I do go in and out of phases. Sometimes I love a bright lip and I'm wearing a bright lip and like nothing on my eyes for months on end. But for the last few months I've been all about the nude lip and girl I just never use this. What a waste of money honestly. So that was everything. I probably could have named a billion other things but these are things that I specifically remember purchasing and just being like I need this. It's going to become one of my all time favorites and as you can see they just didn't. I'm so glad I could kind of focus some light on them because of this video. Gave them a little bit poor use and I'm so excited to bring out some of these products and actually start using them.
