4.2Shade Swipe Blush Stick
  • “The texture of this is extremely similar to the bronzer, if not identical”7:27–7:32
  • “I feel like I get that same easy to use, easy blend experience with the blush as well”7:55–8:02
  • “This, I would say, has more of like a dewy, juicy skin finish on me”8:02–8:06
  • “I did want to see like, can I build this back up on top of powder after I've set it? Does that mess up my makeup underneath? And no, it doesn't. It works really well that way, too”8:24–8:30
  • “Definitely brings some life back to the finish that the powder just naturally kind of not takes away but like mattifies a little bit more”8:33–8:37
  • “This one actually seemed to hold up really nicely on me without going patchy”8:40–8:44
  • “I think this is a formula that just works better built up a bit more”8:44–8:48

3.5Sheer For It Blush Tint
  • “These do not smell or taste like anything”11:13–11:23
  • “I would describe the texture as a very thin, watery serum that has a bit of a learning curve if you are using it as a blush”11:20–11:25
  • “When I first tried this out, I used the application technique that they showed on their website where they do like one dot at a time spaced out and then blending that out with a brush. But doing that on top of foundation was a patchy mess for me”11:26–11:29
  • “I tried this again by adding more product in one central area and blending that out first before adding product to the rest of my cheek where I want to add even more color. And that worked way better”11:45–11:49
  • “If I blend a little bit too much, it starts to go patchy and break down the foundation that I have underneath it”
  • “I would consider this to be sheer with a natural finish”12:13–12:18
  • “I do feel like the color held up well on my cheeks”12:21–12:25
  • “As a lip stain, unlike Benitin, I don't have issues applying this and making the pigment look even”12:45–12:49
  • “Once it sets, it does feel completely dry. Like there's zero moisturizing properties to this at all”12:57–13:01
  • “I think it looks gorgeous. At least the color left on red that is definitely my personal favorite”13:08–13:12
  • “I don't think that this stains as intensely as others that I've tried”13:22–13:27
  • “If the main thing you're looking for in a lip stain is just budge proof pigment, then this will probably not be for you. But if you don't have an issue reapplying, let's say like once every 6 hours or so, then I think that this is so so beautiful”13:40–13:44

  • “I really haven't reached for Nudestix since I tested this out, except for to directly compare them”6:25–6:33

  • “This is also something I would describe as full coverage and flawless and budge proof. This wears so well on my skin”4:23–4:28

  • “This packaging is driving me nuts, though. It's definitely getting worse the longer that I use it”5:26–5:29

  • “I love that I'm able to use just a little bit of this while still getting a lot of coverage because that's ideally what you want in spot concealing”5:11–5:16

  • “It holds up great”
  • “It's just again a bit too full coverage for my preference for under eyes, but not for spots. Perfect for spots”6:00–6:06

2Infallible Skin Ink 2-in-1 Foundation Concealer
  • “This has a very strange texture for a concealer, kind of similar to what I was saying about Milani. I don't know that I've ever tried another concealer that feels exactly like this because it's thin but very slippy to the point of feeling greasy”3:53–3:57
  • “It claims to be self-setting and I agree that it sets really quickly, but that definitely creates some issues with the blending process for me”4:03–4:09
  • “It immediately starts to cling and settle and go patchy in some areas regardless of what I'm using to apply it”4:11–4:15
  • “This definitely doesn't completely cover dark circles for me. So, I would say it's more medium coverage with a true matte finish that I don't think looks skin-like at all”4:32–4:37
  • “I do think that it looks a little bit dry on me”4:39–4:45
  • “Somehow the Amico Skin Melt Powder saved how this looked. So, this strangely looks better after setting it with powder for me”5:04–5:11
  • “By the end of the day, it pretty much looks the exact same as when I initially applied it”5:15–5:19
  • “Because I just don't enjoy using it at all, it's unfortunately a no for me, too”5:19–5:23

  • “And then at the end of the day, it still looks amazing. It does not budge”3:35–3:42

  • “The glow at the end of the day actually looks really nice”4:29–4:33
  • “Ever since then it's definitely the complexion product I've reached for the most”4:34–4:40

  • “It's very bright and reflective. Like this is a pop for highlight”30:02–30:08
  • “It's just not something that I feel is like my taste in highlighter at this point in time. In 2016, I would have eaten this up. But now in 2026, I really only reach for highlights that are either very sheer and glossy or really soft and diffused”
  • “It's just a bit too bright for me, but if that's what you're looking for, it'll give you that and it wears well”30:54–30:58

  • “Makeup applies on top of it really nicely without issue, too”2:07–2:12
  • “When I first apply this, it does feel refreshing and have that cooling sensation that they described, but it does cause irritation for me, so it ends up just stinging and burning a bit that does eventually fade”2:10–2:14
  • “I have noticed that on days when I wear this, when I remove makeup and start applying my nighttime skin care, those skin care products really sting and burn for me, which is not something that I normally experience when I am not wearing this primer”2:22–2:29
  • “I just didn't feel like I was seeing much of a difference in terms of smoothing or blurring”2:46–2:50
  • “I do like how my makeup wears with this. I think by end of day, it still looks really good”3:02–3:06
  • “That combined with the fact that I don't really see any of the smoothing or blurring like it claims makes this an unfortunate pass for me”2:47–2:51

  • “If there's a foundation that I really love the look of and love everything about except for how oily my skin looks wearing it at the end of the day, then I can just layer this underneath it before I apply that foundation and it will prevent that from happening”2:09–2:18
  • “If you deal with similar issues and are looking for a drugstore solution, I highly recommend this one”2:26–2:32

  • “I love the way it lays on top of makeup”8:54–8:57

  • “Because these have SPF added, I was worried that that was really going to alter the lip balm formula that I love so much, but it really didn't”25:51–25:55
  • “They still have that amazing thick, cushy feel and shiny wet finish”25:58–26:03
  • “At first, these do have a pretty strong but sweet mint scent. However, the chemical sunscreen taste does start to come through pretty quickly”26:03–26:07
  • “I feel like this is going to really just be up to personal preference depending on your level of tolerance for that chemical sunscreen taste”26:18–26:22
  • “If you are okay with it, as long as it's not something that's like overly intense and you really love the Naturium lip balm formula, then this may be right up your alley”26:29–26:33

  • “Pink vanilla is a very sheer light neutral pink. The color doesn't really show up a ton on my lips, which is fine. It's just like the slightest hint of pink”48:22–48:32
  • “This is another great option for just an untinted lip balm from the drugstore, especially if you want something that is lighter than the lip mask because these lip butter balms are definitely more lightweight”48:50–48:54

  • “These are definitely significantly more pigmented than Revlon and even more pigmented than L'Oreal built up. and they are definitely longer wear than L'Oreal and Revlon as well”39:21–39:24

  • “They actually look more flattering on me than a really pigmented lip liner”
  • “I was kind of surprised by how much I enjoyed the look of this”

  • “I still can run into the issue of this going patchy if I accidentally over blend”15:01–15:05

  • “I'd say I get the same performance in terms of wear as E.L.F. where it holds up well, but doesn't stain so hard that I can't get it off my cheeks”15:26–15:31
  • “In terms of texture, this feels really comfy and hydrating when you first apply it”15:56–16:00
  • “Once it does dry down, it transforms into more of a true matte feel and finish. So that comfiness and glossiness don't last for me”16:06–16:12

2.5HydraPop Glossy Lip Stain
  • “This has a wet, creamy, whipped texture that is more comparable to CoverGirl than E.L.F., but it's a little bit thicker and less watery, which I think makes it even comfier”17:17–17:21
  • “I'm not in love with the Doe Foot. I feel like it's just like too skinny and stiff”17:26–17:31
  • “When I just apply this without blotting it, it's very pigmented and has a moderately glossy finish”17:35–17:42
  • “After blotting, it transforms into having light to medium levels of pigment with a slight glow to the finish, which I think is pretty”17:42–17:45

  • “The texture of this is like a little bit jelly like and a little bit gel-like”21:36–21:40

  • “This has that wet diamondy shine that fills in the look of lines”21:32–21:36
  • “It does kind of start to get gummy with wear”

  • “I don't think that it plumps over time either”43:15–43:18
  • “It's certainly not a bad product or anything. I just don't feel like this does anything for me really across the board”43:35–43:40
  • “I'm not going to repurchase”

  • “Oh my gosh, I feel like now that I've been able to do wear tests with this, I can appreciate it even more”47:09–47:12
  • “It's thick. It's creamy. It's plush. It's very smooth with a little tack. It lasts well. It's very moisturizing for me”47:20–47:27
  • “It's my new favorite drugstore lip mask”
  • “These have really, really nice shine. They make your lips just look plump and juicy”

2.5The Brow Glue Crazy Lift Brow Lamination Gel
  • “I am not a fan of this applicator. I feel like it just pushes up too much product and then makes it difficult to control the amount of product that I'm applying to my brows”35:12–35:17
  • “That combined with just these like short, stiff, plasticky bristles makes it easy for it to get flaky, too”35:21–35:28
  • “I can get it to work better if I wipe a lot of the excess product off with my finger, but then I feel like that kind of defeats the purpose of this”35:30–35:34
  • “It does really create that laminated look and keeps my brows lifted more than a lot of other gels I've tried, especially from the drugstore”35:35–35:41
  • “It performs for sure, but the issue with the applicator just doesn't make it worth it for me to keep”35:43–35:49

4.2Gel-to-Foam Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser with Salicylic Acid
  • “This has a true gel texture that to me feels lighter and more airy than something like the Cerave foaming facial cleanser”4:55–5:02
  • “It's just really easy to swipe and rinse away, and it gives me a great clean”5:33–5:39
  • “If you are looking for a gel cleanser from the drugstore that is more elevated than Cerave, but stronger cleaning than Prequel, then I would definitely recommend checking this out. I'm really liking it”5:45–5:49

4.2Redness Reform Sulfur Cleanser
  • “This has a pretty thick cream texture that honestly is not like the nicest or most luxe of all time. It kind of reminds me of putty a little bit”7:23–7:31
  • “Once I do, it glides and slides really nicely. It's smooth. It's soft. It's not something that feels like it's heavy or sticky or suffocating my skin”7:45–7:51
  • “I have absolutely noticed a difference in my skin when it is feeling dry and reactive in using this”7:54–7:58
  • “When I felt like my skin was extra reactive and just the thought of a gel or foaming cleanser made my skin burn, I would reach for this and I absolutely felt a difference”8:06–8:13
  • “I have continued to reach for this when I feel like, oh, my skin's starting to feel a little bit more tight than normal or if I feel a breakout coming on or have an active breakout, of course”8:20–8:27

3The Face Unglue Makeup Remover Cleansing Balm
  • “I definitely don't agree that this feels like a buttery balm. It kind of just has that coconut oil like texture and that it's a little bit hard at first and then when you kind of like press into it, it starts to melt down and transform into an oil”2:06–2:11
  • “That oil meltdown does feel a little bit too greasy for my personal preference”2:20–2:24
  • “It does remove my makeup well, so no complaints there”2:36–2:39
  • “I'll definitely finish this up because I don't absolutely hate it. I just don't love it enough to repurchase it”2:37–2:43

4.6Derm Dissolve Cleansing Balm
  • “The texture of this is very soft, smooth, and balmy. It's thick, but not so thick that it feels heavy. It's not greasy. It's not waxy. It's really, really nice”3:13–3:20
  • “In my opinion, much more cosmetically elegant than NYX”3:25–3:29
  • “It also does a great job removing makeup. It doesn't leave any sort of filmy residue”3:54–3:57
  • “All in all, I think that this is a great product”
  • “My only complaint is that there's not much product in here”3:59–4:07
  • “I did also already repurchase it because I really enjoy it”4:26–4:30

4.8Cheer Up Liquid Exfoliant
3.5Extreme Cream Eye
2.5Bright + Brew-tiful Eye Cream
  • “This has a really really nice texture. It feels almost kind of whipped. It's rich but not something that feels overly heavy”
  • “The brightening effect is definitely pretty. It's like a soft pearlescence, a soft luminance. It's not something that looks glittery or shimmery or anything like that”14:31–14:38
  • “This is not something I would ever wear under makeup”14:45–14:48
  • “I just don't personally see myself repurchasing something like this”

4.8TheraFace Mask Glo
  • “Therabody does allow you to isolate blue light”4:59–5:06
  • “Compared to a lot of other brands, there seems to be more light coverage around the mouth”5:07–5:11
  • “It's more lightweight”
  • “It doesn't have those metal plates under the eyes that just felt really heavy”5:32–5:37

  • “I feel like I end up using this like three to four times a week”

3.5DIVE-IN Low Molecular Hyaluronic Acid Soothing Cream
3.5AM/PM Modern Moisturizer
  • “It feels plush. It's creamy. It's soft. It's smooth. But it's definitely not something that's light enough for me to reach for it in the daytime”13:14–13:17
  • “It's definitely on the thicker side”
  • “I don't think that I'll repurchase it after I use it up, at least for the time being”13:09–13:14

4.615% Vitamin C Complex Brightening Serum
  • “The texture is honestly really amazing. It doesn't feel greasy. It doesn't have that like vitamin C slip that some vitamin C serums can have”10:12–10:16
  • “Once it does fully dry down, it definitely gives you a nice glow boost”10:20–10:24
  • “I actually have a new favorite vitamin C serum to add to my lineup of favorite vitamin C serums”10:50–10:54
  • “I've been wearing this every single day and it really is something that I think a lot of different skin types would enjoy”10:55–10:59
  • “I do get excited to reach for this, which is not something that I can say about every vitamin C I've ever tried”11:15–11:18

2.5HA Body Hydrator Hyaluronic Acid Face & Body Serum
  • “This has a little bit of a jelly-like texture that is light and spreads and applies really nicely. Like I very much enjoy how it feels when I'm rubbing it on”49:57–50:07
  • “The immediate dry down is definitely pretty sticky, and that's something that I just really do not like in body care products”50:13–50:17
  • “The stickiness does fade eventually, but then I feel like my skin's just kind of dry and tight”50:19–50:28
  • “This is definitely not moisturizing enough for me to use in place of a lotion”50:36–50:40

  • “This formula will certainly do that. There's no doubt about that. Like, this is going to create the most occlusive seal on your skin”
  • “Because of that, it is no longer something that works for me as an eye cream. It is just too thick”17:18–17:25
  • “I'll definitely keep this new formula in the event that I need it for healing purposes, but it's no longer something that I will be reaching for on a nightly basis”17:25–17:28
