Hi guys. After watching (ALL) Kimberly Clarks Antihauls I thought I maybe could inspire some of you to think about why you are purchasing makeup and if you really need all the new releases! This is some of the things I am not gonna buy and why.
- Jaclyn Hill X Morphe
- Price: 38$ + 26$ Shipping to Norway
Where do I start with this palette? First of all I have never supported Morphe. I have been close a couple of times, but after a lot of “drama” channels opened my eyes about this brand I don’t feel like I want to support it. To be completely honest, when I see this palette it is nothing about it that makes me want to buy it. I have almost all of these shades in Makeup Geek singles and I have the KVD Shade & Light eye palette. Don’t need this and I am not gonna buy it
2. Urban Decay Naked Heat
- Price: 54$
This palette is the Jaclyn Hill palette all over again. Warm, orange and neutral shades that I have in all my other palettes. This is even more expensive and since we don’t have Sephora the shipping from the US is insane. I have the UD naked basics and I don’t really like the formula. Not gonna buy…
3. Too Faced Glitter Bomb
- Price: 45$
I have never owned a Too Faced palette. I did think about buying the chocolate palette once, but since we don’t sell Too Faced in Norway the shipping from Sephora is insane again. I don’t think this palette is exciting at all. I have seen so many people use the Too Faced glitter shadows and the fallout is extreme. I have foiled shadows from Makeup Geek and if I want glitter I use loose glitters or pigments. No, Too Faced.
4. Tarte Shapetape
- Price: 25$
I have been tempted to buy this concealer so often in the last few months. A few things are stopping me from clicking BUY. I fell in to the hype about the UD Naked Skin that everyone LOVED, and was disappointed. This is extremely full coverage and some people say that is is drying. I have dry undereyes and fine lines from the start, so I don’t think this is for me. The third thing is the shipping cost which is around 20$… 45$ for a concealer, I don’t think so..
5. Jeffree Star Cosmetics
The infamous Jeffree Star. I have known about him for a long time. I discovered his music in 2008 and loved it actually. My friends and I listened to him a lot. Now I don’t know how I feel about him. I have thought about buying some liquid lipsticks since they launched. But I have not. I think you either love his personality or you get a feeling that something is off about him. I fall into that last category, so I won’t buy from him.
6. Huda Beauty
I did not know who Huda was before she launched her eyeshadow palette last year. When I saw the price my jaw dropped. WHAT? YSL PRICES? I would never buy something from a new brand to that price. And after seeing all the videos about the palette I did not think I missed out on something. If you think you need this and have the Anastasia Modern Renessaince you don’t. I don’t have that one either, but I don’t see any shades in the Huda palette that is worth that price to me.
7. KKW Beauty
Kim, Kim, Kim. I LOVE HER. Even though my favourite Kardashian is Khloe 😉 I have watched all the episodes of KUWTK because I love them. But I do not need more contour in my life. I had the Anastasia original contour kit and gave it away because I thought it was too dry. I have the KVD one and a single contour shade from Makeup Geek. I have enough contour for a life time and think that this launch is 5 years too late. 5 years ago I would have bought it.
8. Kylie Cosmetics
Kylie… Where to start.. I think the people that makes Kylies stuff are in a rush. Every launch is problematic. I feel like the price is too high because of her name. The quality is not good enough to charge the prices that she does. Anyway, not buying..
9 Natasha Denona
Talking about overpriced makeup.. Natasha Denona. I don’t think I have to say much about it really.. NO MAKEUP IS WORTH THAT PRICE. I have all these shades in KVD Shade & Light, MUG, Coastal Scents, Inglot..
10. Milk Makeup
Milk is a brand that does not interest me. Brands that launches purely based on reviews from social media I am a bit sceptical to buy.. The blur stick was ALL THE HYPE a few months ago when all the Youtubers LOVED IT. I don’t see them use it now though.. If I love something I use it up and repurchase it over and over.. So no milk today 😉
What are some products that you think are overhyped? Are you buying these products?
Love, Kristine
