Are there any brands that you'll be buying less of in 2024?
All of them, LOL.

Hmmm i would love to say Lilly Lashes!!
But now quite sure what other lash brands out there are just as good but less expensive !!
All brands…..i have moved on….no longer infatuated with the beauty space….id say covid killed it for me…wierd but true…..have so much im embarassed! Might circle back some day though! š
Like Christine said…all of them!
Ditto!
I’ve never been madly “brand loyal” or felt I had to have the newest releases from any company (Tom Ford, Pat McGrath or even my beloved Chanel) but I feel this even less now as brands discontinue some of my favourite stuff and “replace” it with products of inferior quality (and often at inflated prices).
I have been buying less eyeshadow in general, so this affects Ms. McGrath the most, but I still have several makeup staples from her (the lip gloss and divinyl lip shine) so our relationship is not through !!
Estee Lauder owned brands. L’Oreal owned brands (except for my mascara, because I have very reactive, sensitive eyes). And several like-minded and equally questionable behaving brands.
Treat Beauty. I won’t be buying from them again period. The quality has declined across the board, from their products to their attitude to their customer service.
I would have to say a lot of them – but there will probably be a few lipsticks I’ll pick up and maybe something wonderful from Pat or Natasha – if it’s in my colours. Most likely another foundation if I can find what I want at a reasonable price. Just some individual products.
Charlotte Tilbury. Many of her products have less expensive and better performing dupes.
Yes, I’ve already started recently and surprisingly don’t miss them at all. I’m boycotting Dior, Givenchy, Chanel and basically everything under L’Oreal which is a lot of brands including Nyx, Lancome etc
It’s really important to me that my ethics on human rights line up with where I spend my money and in the past 60 days I’ve gone cold turkey with these brands and others in haircare (Amika, Moroccanoil) and skincare (Kiehl’s). Saved a lot of money on black friday š Hope to save much more in 2024 and to find better dupes of all of the items I used to enjoy from these companies.
I will be going on a very, very strict replacement only no buy in 2024, so all of them for me as well.
Same here. Only replacements
Since I have come back to makeup I have definitely spent more time on the higher end brands and less on drug store and “cheaper” brands. I may sound a bit like a snob but a lot of cheaper or maybe I should say, more economical brands, tend to break me out and I don’t have breakouts. Even in my teens, I had very little acne and most of it was hormonal and stress. I can remember having the worse break outs of my life the month before my final exams for nursing school. It was so bad that when I went to pick up my graduation pictures my face was practically completely obliterated by acne and I can remember the receptionist gently mentioned that they had retouching available if I wanted to try that and then when she opened my pictures to show me and my skin was perfect and blemish free you could see she was a bit embarrassed. Anyway, I digress. I am not sure what is in a lot of drug store makeup that would cause a reaction but as long as i stick to the things I have now, I am okay. So, there are no brands that I won’t buy next year but it is more related to what is working for me and what is not. I long ago stopped buying from a lot of brands. The list of who I buy from is much less than those I don’t anymore. Plus, the brand profiles changed a lot while I was away and brands that were readily available and had great products, seem to have disappeared even though they are still in business. I am thinking of brands like Buxom and Mally.
Pretty much all of themā¦ my collection is saturated. I donāt want to dedicate any more space to just keeping things that will only get rotated through maybe once or three times a year.
I’m buying less as well, I’ve restocked recently on refy shimmer and fragrance. I’m waiting to see what the next ND midi or mini brings.
Same
I would like to recommend Lilly Lashes; however, I’m not entirely certain about other lash brands that are equally impressive but more budget-friendly.
I have to agree with Christine. I’ve really cut back on my purchases and only buy what I need or something very special.
I just saw some sneak peeks of upcoming spring releases and my initial reaction is that I will be buying less next year from all brands. It’s actually fortunate because I anyway own more than I could ever use up and I have really lovely makeup products that deserve to be used and appreciated. I am not disappointed with any brand in particular, there just seems to be a lot of repetitive releases.
All, especially nail polish, I have a problem.
All of them. COVID has done its work. I’m trying to use and finish the products I have
Iām done with Laura Mercier forever (after many years of being truly loyal). Since it was sold I do look at some products and they all look, smell and feel like dime store.
Most of them! I’ve definitely cut back on my beauty spending and will only replace favourite items from now on.
