In this video I’m chatting through old viral products that have genuinely stood the test of time—aka the stuff I bought on a whim because the internet screamed about it, and then it actually ended up being good. I wanted to make this because beauty moves so fast now: something goes viral, everyone buys it, and then we all forget about it two weeks later. But some products aren’t just a “moment” — they’re classics for a reason. I start with fragrance (Maison Margiela Replica By the Fireplace), because I’m in my cozy winter era and this scent is literally burning wood + chestnut with vanilla—warm, woodsy, and so nostalgic. Then I get into makeup staples I still reach for: Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base as a luxe primer that grips makeup, MAC Extra Dimension Skinfinish for that intense-but-skinlike glow, and an older Pat McGrath palette because those special baked shades look almost wet on the lids. I also talk about Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray (truly one of the best for longevity), and finish with a nostalgic but actually incredible gloss: Lancôme Juicy Tubes for that juicy shine without the tackiness. My main takeaway: stick to the favourites that perform, not just whatever’s trending.
