Products mentioned:

Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink in Lover

Pixi Lower Lash mascara

Essie’s Ladylike nail polish

I bought the matte ink and love it. It stayed all day and I applied some clear gloss when it got too dry. Loved it. I have used the bare minerals primer for years. Is the texturizing spray as good as Oribe? At least cheaper? Lol. Haven’t found one yet that matches Oribe.

The smell of Oribe products is a little strong for my taste, but I find AMIKA to be a great texturizing spray!

I love the pixie lower lash mascara! Try out the Too Faced primers… I LOVE the primed and poreless and hangover primers. They’re legit the best and I love wearing the first one without foundation because it evens out my skin so much.

You can buy the Amika spray on Sephora!

Hi Kate!
Speaking of texture and sprays.. What is your favorite Dry Shampoo??
I have tried almost all drugstore brands and they’re not hitting on much.. What brand do you suggest?

Speaking of PR… what about the amazing Bobbi Brown lipsticks you received? Thoughts/Reviews/Swatches?

oh yeah, none of the colors WOW’d me but I need to give them a second chance!

Maybe it is because I am a busy homeschool mom of teens who longs for simplicity in beauty, I had a good hard laugh at the Pixie mascara for lower lashes. I’m not saying it isn’t valuable, just funny. You could buy Loreal’s Telescopic mascara, as well.

There’s a pretty big difference in brush size between the two.

What’s been the best method at removing the lip ink so far? I purchased it over the weekend, put it on in the morning, and let me tell you — that lip ink really did.not.budge. Even when I wanted it to! It look me close to 30 minutes to remove it, and even then I’m not even sure I got all of it off. I heard vaseline might work, but I haven’t tried yet…I feel like I need to try it on a day where I have a chunk of time I can dedicate to trying to remove the color from my lips. 🙂

I don’t have experience with the lipstick, but if I’ve got hard to remove makeup, a little coconut oil always helps me remove mine. (And helps remove the Halloween face painting I did on my two youngest boys’ faces last night.)

Was going to ask a similar question! What products do you use to remove your lips?

Love your videos! Thanks for doing more product reviews! I’ve missed them! Also – how did you get the curl in your hair in this video? Wand, flat iron, curling iron?? My hair has grown past my shoulders and I’m finding using the flat iron which was perfect for shorter hair isn’t working well for past shoulder length. Thanks!!

Do you like the Amika better than the Living Proof Full Dry Volume Blast that was one of you favorites a few months ago? Any particular reason? Nice to see you doing product videos again. Thanks so much!

I just found that lipstick last week – I absolutely love it! I’ve been a Cover Girl Outlast fan for years – but they discontinued my favorite color a year or so ago. Maybelline offers a very similar color to the one I loved and this just seems to last longer.

Kate, what lipstick are you wearing in the video?

I LOOOOOOOVE the new email layout. I don’t know if it’s new to everyone or just me, but it’s amazing. Yay. 🙂

I bought both the matte ink lover and the Essie lady like polish and they are both great !!!! I am never disappointed at your recommendations! Thank you !!

I want to try out that texture spray–I feel like my hair could definitely use it! 😛

Found the Essie nail polish – LOVE IT! It’s perfect for “fall” (if you can call it that in Florida). For those on a budget – Revlon has a similar shade that’s just a *touch* lighter for about $4.

I love Essie’s Lady Like. I actually wore it on both my fingers and toenails on my wedding day.

Hi Kate!

I think you’re the coolest.

Can you tell me your thoughts on dry shampoo? I have very fine and straight hair that doesn’t have much texture and doesn’t hold a curl AT ALL. It also gets greasy fairly easily. I love dry shampoo and wonder if you have any tricks for using it to style hair or give it more volume. I notice it does make my hair more textured but it can sometimes also make it greasy, womp womp. Help!

(My sister and I absolutely love you. We look forward to watching your insta stories every day. ☺️) Thank you!
