Yes agree - didn't it used to be a big YouTuber thing - this 'unboxing'? She didn't really need to do a live reveal as it's not like an advent calendar where you want a surprise.

The woman from Milk makeup (a great example of Sali's awkward interview skills) or Bobbi Brown?
I draw a line at watching those.
She's just not a natural on camera. And I'm not being mean, I don't think it's something that comes naturally to many
There's a word my teens use to describe someone or something odd and / or suspicious. "Sketchy". I love it and think it's perfect for our Sali, because that's what she is - sketchy as F.....
I agree, and I wouldn't be either, but the weird thing is she seems to have got worse over time? I don't remember her old guardian videos being as uncomfortable as anything she does these days (I don't actually watch her ITB vids or IGTV but see snippets on her grid/stories and they're always awkward).
Oh god, when she's interviewing someone else, it's painful. The pursed lip disapproval
I've remembered it was Kate Somerville I was thinking of. A very strange interview with no actual ITB but KS talking about herself and her brand at length.
Oh yes and the Milk one too.
Interesting! I've never watched it, not even sure who Kate Somerville is to be honest...
I would not take makeup advice from this person. Wrong foundation shade and an absence of blending point to not knowing what you;re doing.
Yeah, I think it was initially an insult but the meaning has changed as it's become appropriated. It's just not a Sali word given her usual jolly hockey sticks vocabulary so using it to describe the contents of a box put together by a black woman and then to say "actually Ateh is quite bougie" is really cringe (to me anyway). It's like suddenly starting yas kweening in the company of black women. I may be off on this but that's how it comes across to me.
she makes you feel uncomfortable watching, too spikey. I have only watched the first couple of minutes so far but was horrified at how bad her makeup looked. The eye colours look terrible on her and whatever foundation/bronzer she has going on just looks muddy and awful.
I haven't seen it so don't know the full context but thought exactly this when I read your post.
Has she ever called anyone else’s boxes or collaborations “bougie”?! Or is this an observation she only reserves for people of a certain hue?Did she really call Ateh Jewel and her choices for her box bougie/boujee? Normal Sali language.
Also, I'm no expert, but I don't think it means what she thinks it means? Or has the meaning changed?
Her comment rather reminds me of this post from Raheem Sterling:

Quite. Forgive me, but I thought the point of her videos was to give us recommendations of QUALITY products, not just to shove in everything she has been sent by her mates.

A facialist to Hollywood stars, apparently

I didn't notice her bronzer or foundation shades to be honest. I was too busy being flabbergasted by the (baby poo) brown shade of eyeshadow she had applied nearly up to her eyebrows. Sorry Sali , but Imho this was the least attractive make up look I have seen on anyone for a long time. You're pretty lady, that took some work.
And her eyebrows just look ridiculous. Like caterpillars 
God, now I want to go and have a peek at the video.
Okay, I watched the first 3 minutes. Note to self: avoid Hourglass bronzer and this new Jamie Genevieve eyeshadow palette.

It's vile. I'm having a 90s flashback to when the only eyeshadow that myself and most of my friends ever wore was 'poo brown'. It went so well with our Max Factor panstik and Rimmel Heather Shimmer lipstick.
At least we had an excuse though. We were young teenagers at the time. What's 45 year old Sali's excuse?
