Most Loved Products

Hard Candy
Going Nude Never Looking Back Eye Palette
This is very affordable. It's coming in at under $10, so it's cheaper than like one of the E.L.F. perfect 10 palettes.

e.l.f. Cosmetics
Lash XTNDR Tubing Mascara
It is not going to smudge. It's what I always wear on my lower lash line without fail.

Wet n Wild
Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil — Light
I feel like this wears well on my skin. It's easy to apply. I just always like the way it ends up looking on my skin.

I have come to enjoy these so much. I've been in such a groove of wanting to reach for one of these every day.▶ 15:39–15:44
It is multitasking lip and cheek. If you want to use it as a blush, it can be that.▶ 15:47–15:50
It can be a longwearing staining lip color that looks like a really pretty blotted matte lip on its own or like layer a gloss over top. I love it.▶ 15:50–15:54
I added just a little bit of Naked Brown from Wet n Wild.▶ 2:19–2:22
someone suggested that I share a blush of the day so today's is Wet n Wild this is pinch me pink um I'd kind of forgotten about this one for a while but oh it's such a great fresh pink
I think it works even with this nice little Olive eye so just popping that on yay don't worry we'll blend we'll blend
This does have a gentle satin finish. The pigment on it is beautiful.▶ 8:55–9:00
If you like the cool bordering on berry types of blush looks, you're going to enjoy that so much.▶ 9:00–9:04
This is on the cheaper end from E.L.F., $2.▶ 12:18–12:24
This shade can be cheap and do the work for me.▶ 12:44–12:48
Look at that. I can't believe I haven't used this blush more. Actually, that is such a classic pink, making me feel alive.▶ 13:07–13:14
My blush is that one I rediscovered from e.l.f. Cosmetics bright pink is that one.▶ 8:05–8:12
It looks really good on the skin.
There is nice pigment here.▶ 16:40–16:43
It's matte. It's pure color.▶ 17:08–17:12
This feels extremely soft to the touch.▶ 14:46–14:52
This is not the type of product that's going to set in too quick on your skin.▶ 15:21–15:26
You're going to have time to blend and the blending's going to feel easy.▶ 15:25–15:30
This Catrice is so very intense.▶ 13:58–14:04
I would say if you're looking for an alternative that's really quite close to Patrick Starr, this is it.▶ 13:53–13:56
But be prepared for a very intense cheek.
They are getting into that baked blush game and they're doing an amazing job with this shade called Cocoa Glaze.
She's really pretty and she gives kind of an unexpected rosy glow to the cheeks.
Laura Geller, you got to be taking note. Essence is coming.
They are so smooth and nicely pigmented.
Pure color, pure classic pink, anybody can wear it type of color there. So good.▶ 9:18–9:24
Look at the amount you're picking up with one touch into the pan.▶ 9:13–9:18
Love that soft kind of just gently glowy finish in this blush.▶ 4:27–4:34
My blush is Milani Dolce Pink.▶ 9:00–9:04
This does have some glow to it.▶ 9:03–9:07
Any additional glow on my cheeks that's going beyond this product shining through is probably from this blush.▶ 9:08–9:14
Bronzer
This is checking so many boxes because not only is it the pigment, the ease of application and blending, just a really good tone where I feel like even in the dead of winter, I could use this softly and love the look and also it can be perfect right in summertime.▶ 5:31–5:35
On top of all those great qualities, it's really affordable. It's like less than five bucks, friends.▶ 5:45–5:49
I hold on to her even though the cat broke off.▶ 6:00–6:04
I feel like this shade called Spicy Season doesn't get enough love.
It's just a classic cream pan, but it's going to blend with ease.▶ 10:05–10:11
This shade, I feel like gives such a real bronze and a really effective contour, too.▶ 10:08–10:13
Maybe even more of a favorite than this one.
02 Tuscan Tan would probably be my top favorite.
It doesn't look dry and powdery, but it just looks smooth.
I have so much respect for the Rare Beauty stick.▶ 12:24–12:28
I would have to admit that the blending on this is even a little bit silkier, softer, just even more ease with this one.▶ 12:31–12:39
It goes on with absolute fullest pigment. Thin amount, but full pigment.▶ 12:46–12:53
This is highly pigmented.
I love the product, but it could be a little overwhelming.▶ 8:47–8:55
It's very pigmented. It gives you a great bang for your buck.▶ 9:02–9:08
It is definitely one of a kind in my bronzer stash. I have nothing else that's quite like this.▶ 10:52–10:56
I love it and it's definitely a product that could be multi-use.▶ 11:05–11:09
It will be your easiest blend because it's a really liquidy.▶ 11:22–11:31
They've also got great pigment and ease, but also they're giving us a really good value, an impressive value.▶ 13:23–13:28
Super easy. One swipe.▶ 13:39–13:42
A little more balmy texture than the Rare Beauty.▶ 13:42–13:47
I'm realizing how much I love the separation of these two tones and this particular shade is so good for me.▶ 6:52–6:58
Think about the texture of butter bronzer, which many of us love that from Physicians Formula. It's soft. You swatch it, you almost feel a little creaminess and that pigment. It's not too firmly pressed. It doesn't take a lot of work to make it show on your skin.
It's all those like butter bronzer qualities.▶ 7:13–7:18
This is a very sunny type of shade.▶ 2:57–3:04
Anytime I use it, I'm like, 'Yeah, that really does work for me.'▶ 3:12–3:16
The blurring component, you know, it's very matte. And I do see what they're saying with that.▶ 3:16–3:20
Did a little soft contour with that.▶ 1:23–1:28
This is a very good standard classic like bronzer/contour.▶ 7:21–7:26
It's going to perform real similar to the NYC Sunny of back in the day, maybe a little more pigment than that, more like a Rimmel Natural Bronzer, maybe.▶ 7:34–7:42
It totally makes sense with my skin tone.▶ 7:52–7:57
This is my Essence Soft Touch Bronzer.
Concealer
It really is heavy duty, and I feel like I can, you know, build it up a little bit more if I would want to for a fuller coverage look.▶ 3:14–3:22
Really nicely covered in the areas where I want to be. Um there's no redness around the nose. We're nice and bright and even on the under eye.▶ 4:06–4:12
I kind of feel like I came so close to the effect of this with the Revlon Colorstay Flex Wear.▶ 8:53–8:59
This is a great one for like good all day staying power and looks light.▶ 2:54–3:01
It doesn't look makeupy on the skin.▶ 2:59–3:03
Again, another easy blending type of thing.▶ 3:09–3:13
I felt like this shade um actually was a little dark for me.▶ 8:08–8:18
I just decided to toss this one. I'd had it for a long time and it was just the wrong shade.▶ 8:30–8:33
Been a user of this and a lover of this for years.▶ 5:38–5:42
This is the one that you can count on for coverage. This is the one you can count on for not overdrying.▶ 5:55–5:59
It's really the concealer that I go back to in my mind when I'm trying a new concealer and I'm thinking about coverage and I'm thinking about texture. Like, I'm always kind of referencing this in my mind.▶ 6:01–6:07
This has been an Emily award-winning product.▶ 8:38–8:43
I love this for being able to give the maximum coverage.▶ 8:40–8:45
Maximum coverage and still look really, really fresh up on your under eye area all day long.▶ 8:43–8:50
They're just a great little combo.
I've seen people rave about Neutrogena's Radiant Cream Concealer. I think this has a very similar coverage level and quality to that.▶ 4:52–4:56
I think it feels a bit richer than the original like Age Perfect Concealer that L'Oreal had.▶ 4:59–5:07
Look at the brightness.
It feels like a more advanced concealer formula, but the feelings are legit.
A little bit goes a long way.
It's able to be really thin, but cover beautifully well.
I have been wearing this one so much.▶ 3:42–3:47
I'm really digging it big time.▶ 3:52–3:57
It's light. It seems to be like a really good brightening yet covering tone for me.▶ 3:55–4:00
Amazing coverage there. A little goes a long way.▶ 16:09–16:13
Eye Primer
Non-negotiable for me.
It's a good value product, too, because you're just using a little bit. You'll have a tube of this for a long time.▶ 9:50–9:53
I think they're both good options. Just another product in the makeup routine where you definitely can get a really good result without paying high-end money for it.
I do enjoy using the Doe Foot. Something about that just makes it feel really quick and easy.
Eyeshadow
Let's use this $8 Krice palette called Cozy Glow.
We're going to start off with that blush.
This berry blush, you guys. It's very pigmented, but I've never been scared of a blush.
Foundation
I feel like this wears well on my skin. It's easy to apply. I just always like the way it ends up looking on my skin.▶ 1:11–1:18
I just think it's an amazing product. I hope Wet n Wild never does away with it.▶ 1:29–1:32
It's also very affordable.▶ 1:32–1:35
Just a foundation that's not too heavy, not too light, just kind of perfect in the middle.▶ 2:13–2:20
I know it's super easy for me to blend and work with even if I'm not like sitting here in my usual lighting and whatever.▶ 2:20–2:25
It's just one of those good classic right down the middle foundations for me.▶ 2:27–2:30
I'm just really enjoying this foundation.▶ 0:50–0:56
It looks beautiful on.▶ 0:59–1:04
The staying power is great.▶ 1:02–1:04
Definitely repurchase that.▶ 8:06–8:07
That's always something I want to have on hand.▶ 8:02–8:06
I feel like it's got a slight bit less coverage than that, but perhaps a little more juiciness with the moisture.▶ 3:37–3:43
Depending on the amount you apply, I feel like it's a light to medium coverage, but it can get the job done.▶ 3:43–3:50
Look actually really skin-like on, and actually wear decently well, too, assuming you're going to set this.▶ 3:50–3:56
This stuff is great.▶ 2:55–2:58
It's thin. It's very lightweight.
And that thin product is going to give you surprising coverage.▶ 2:58–3:02
I do feel like this whole Nude by Nature range screams like drugstore luxury to me.
Look at that pretty coverage. See how it's smooth and seamless?
It's one of those the more I use it, the more I like it type of product.
I've been on a little Revlon kick lately.▶ 0:42–0:47
Been getting really reliable results with it.▶ 0:52–0:58
The amount of time it takes me to blend this in, honestly, versus something even more lightweight and natural, it's about the same.▶ 1:07–1:11
One that I really previously hadn't gotten that much use out of, but I'm realizing, hey, I'm liking this one as well.▶ 1:04–1:09
It's very radiant.
You can wear these under foundations and kind of adjust the look and make a standard foundation look more luminous or wear them on their own.▶ 1:21–1:24
It is super liquidy, so be ready for that.▶ 2:45–2:52
This just looks so pretty going across my skin. Really nice sheen.▶ 2:55–3:02
The blend is very easy.▶ 3:12–3:15
I'm back on Neutrogena Healthy Skin.▶ 1:35–1:38
This is like making your skin look healthy, radiant without actual shimmer.▶ 1:42–1:52
I feel like it's also providing kind of a dewiness and hydration, but not too much.▶ 1:52–1:56
Beautiful product. Easy blending. Feels like you're giving your skin a little drink.▶ 16:01–16:05
Not a lot of that powder on, but just I wanted to feel a little more consistent all over my skin.▶ 16:17–16:23
If you're about my skin tone, there's a shade called Porcelain, and it's very similar to the lightest shade of Kosis Cloud Set. Okay, so that would be my recommendation there if you want to stay in the pressed range.▶ 7:23–7:28
This is a great way to feel more set, not undo the glow, and perhaps enhance your coverage just a little bit more.▶ 7:45–7:52
I love it.
Highlighter
I just used a really light one today. I use my Essence Pure Nude.▶ 8:26–8:30
It's pretty. It's popping off with a little, you know, pinky toned gleam.▶ 18:13–18:21
I got to say I like that.
It's very much a blush topper type of look.▶ 18:49–18:53
This is a balm highlighter.▶ 16:46–16:49
That's what's really giving me the glow right in on the apples of my cheeks.▶ 16:54–16:58
This is acting as my primer today.
I use that around my hairline for a gentle contour.▶ 8:56–9:03
I feel like these take me more to a liquid highlighter place than being a Hollywood flawless filter that incorporates a lot of skin tone elements.▶ 3:13–3:20
we might as well throw on a little bit of highlight as well this is precious petals also from Wet n Wild give us that little dewy look that we can control right
Other
It does have a translucent powder. It has a bronzer and a blush. Has an easy way to get multiple products.▶ 5:37–5:44
It's a 100% matte palette.
We have a beautiful rosy kind of plumby rosy blush.▶ 6:57–7:01
This is no doubt one of my favorites.
I feel it has the most range for like getting a dramatic look or getting a light and easy look.▶ 1:51–1:58
Like you can get some very different looks and some very light looks.▶ 2:04–2:07
This comes together so well. You're getting beautiful blush, beautiful highlight, four matte shadows here. They're pigmented.▶ 10:22–10:30
This for a dollar 25, are you kidding me? It actually works. It's actually pigmented. You can count on it. No complaints there.▶ 10:36–10:44
You're going to give me six pans of product for a dollar 25 that are good quality? Don't skip that.▶ 11:08–11:12
This palette would come under the heading of tried and true.▶ 4:03–4:08
Not worried about it. I know how it's going to turn out.▶ 4:08–4:12
Laura Geller is great at both the subtle highlight like baked French vanilla and the glowy kind.▶ 5:03–5:10
Primer
It's really good. I feel like it's kind of the underrated primer, excuse me, in e.l.f. Cosmetics' range.▶ 2:50–2:54
It just has a beautiful texture crossing the skin. It almost feels like something is stretching over the surface of your skin and actually having an impact on the look of pores.▶ 2:59–3:05
I can definitely tell around my nose when I use this, but it's just really smooth, easy to blend.▶ 3:10–3:17
This primer works really well.▶ 1:29–1:32
If you don't like sticky, grippy primers, you'll enjoy this.▶ 1:32–1:35
It adds a little hydration to your skin.▶ 1:35–1:40
It does feel very wet when you put it on.
I would say I feel like I've just put on a basic hydrating primer, but it started as foam and it does not feel sticky either.▶ 2:23–2:28
I'd have to say it's giving a little more moisture than you expect out of something that just starts as foam.▶ 2:41–2:44
I could really tell that my skin was getting mattified.▶ 3:32–3:36
Really, truly mattifying.
It blends in easily. It's smooth.▶ 4:36–4:40
I do love this one. I've pretty much always loved this one.▶ 0:41–0:46
It's going to come out with one of those big buckfoot applicators and give you sort of a mix of like a skin tone liquid that also has a glow mixed in.▶ 0:46–0:52
It is truly quite glowy, but it blends into my skin with ease.▶ 0:56–1:02
Setting Powder
I feel like it's a good value, a good product.▶ 4:19–4:25
Just give me what truly I think works best.▶ 4:35–4:39
I took it because it's in a little bit smaller packaging.▶ 4:15–4:18
I just love having this powder in my rotation.
that powder is where it's at
I set it with Coty Airspun loose powder.▶ 3:56–4:03
This is a good foundation, don't get me wrong. I mean, they're not doing anything fancy.▶ 4:07–4:12
As far as lightweight feeling foundation goes that's going to effectively even out your skin, but it's going to be about at a medium coverage level. It's good. It's a good standard foundation.▶ 4:14–4:18
It's kind of like, yeah, she's been around for a while. She's been doing a good job. A lot of new ones have come out in the meantime, but nothing changed about the goodness of this.▶ 4:22–4:29
Regular Photo Focus works great, too.▶ 6:01–6:06
The setting powder does help.▶ 6:03–6:06
This looked beautiful on my skin the other day.▶ 6:54–6:57
It's like it really has an immediate kind of perfecting thing going on.▶ 9:28–9:35
The shade is nicely brightening.▶ 9:35–9:40
Really nice.
I think fairly advanced texture on this.▶ 8:05–8:10
It goes on, it does adhere. It truly adds a look of additional coverage.▶ 8:08–8:12
I've been reaching for this one a lot, too. Just my CoverGirl Clean Invisible Powder. They do sell this. I wear the shade classic beige, and this has become a nice little like just touch-up powder, too.▶ 8:09–8:15
I'll use the Blurfection today, but really, they're all performing a similar task.▶ 5:57–6:01
They're essentially providing even more of a matte finish to these certain areas where you really would like to stay matte.▶ 6:01–6:06
This is that light pink shade, but it's not like wildly pink or anything.▶ 6:15–6:22
This is breezy. This is my step down from the lightest shade. Areas lightest then breezy. That's what I've got just lightly to set everywhere else.▶ 3:59–4:08
LIP
32 productsBlush
I love these. This has been a product that ever since it came out I have been using with consistency and I've been using really several of the different shades.
I love these as part of lip combos. They're great on the cheeks as well.
I love the rosy glow that I get with this.
It can be so good when you're using this on lips and cheeks, making the whole look feel so cohesive because you put it in both places.▶ 15:01–15:08
This is a little bit more kind of pinky, really.▶ 15:51–15:59
It looks so dark coming out of that stick, does it not? But that one's looking more pinky.▶ 15:56–16:01
I've got this Tower 28 in Power Hour on my lips already.
Lip Balm
I love these for a tinted lip balm.▶ 23:08–23:12
Beautiful, easy, and they feel good. If you're sensitive to fragrance, they don't have it.▶ 23:18–23:22
Immediately brightens the face. If you need a quick lip option that really looks finished no matter the occasion. It's just a little balm, you know. But yeah, it can do the job.▶ 23:23–23:31
I enjoy these from time to time.
This one is giving us like that soft red. Soft red with a slight pearl finish. How fresh.▶ 10:57–11:02
The hydration and ease of a lip balm.▶ 10:35–10:40
This feels so easily wearable to me.▶ 10:46–10:51
The feel as that sits on your lips for like 10 seconds. You've got that really refreshing feel.▶ 10:49–10:53
Look what I found at Target. A little bdy, it says.
First up, here's hibiscus. Not much of a scent at all, but a light pinky tinted lip balm.
Texture is good. Not too thick, not too thin.
Lip Gloss
I like completely on its own or it looks really pretty topping anything off.▶ 16:49–16:53
It's going to be so beautifully shiny.▶ 16:58–17:02
It's so good.
It looks like it has the slightest pinky tint, but there's a richness that makes me think treatment.▶ 11:59–12:07
Oh, the smell is really good. Cotton candy.▶ 12:10–12:14
This reminds me of a Revlon lip gloss that I was like addicted to back in the old house days. And it just gives this like shimmer and sheen right there in the center. It's not too metallic, and you can kind of mix it in, blend it in. But I always love the way that looks.▶ 24:26–24:34
It's a pretty nude gloss.▶ 26:56–26:59
It is giving me kind of like the shine of Lawless, let's say, but not as thick.▶ 26:59–27:04
The color seems pretty opaque for a nude gloss.▶ 27:11–27:15
The reflective quality is so great.▶ 6:59–7:03
It doesn't have any kind of feel. It just has the glimmer.▶ 7:05–7:12
I just feel like springtime, the element of a little bit of frostiness, I love it. I love it so much.▶ 7:17–7:24
No glimmer, just shine.
I use Lawless. This is Skinny Dip. That's just a nice classic nude lip gloss.▶ 10:40–10:46
This stuff might be like rising star status. Keep an eye out for it.
I enjoy them both.
Lip Liner
It's good. It's kind of toasty though, so be aware. It's more of like a warm brown. Might not be everybody's cup of tea.▶ 23:45–23:51
It's very longwearing. It goes on easily enough, but that's long wear.▶ 24:06–24:13
Just barely went around some edges to make the whole look a little more finished.▶ 9:45–9:51
This lays down a lot of color all at once.▶ 25:09–25:13
It's completely easy to fill in your lips with this.▶ 25:33–25:38
I feel like I'm using a lipstick, just a really, really skinny one.▶ 25:36–25:42
I have had such impressive staying power with this lip liner.
This is approaching like Revlon Color Stay Level Good Lip Liner.
It's worn really well, too, even though I've topped it with their little lip and cheek stick.
I really like this formula.▶ 10:14–10:17
I feel like it's a good sweet spot between like going on easily but not being so creamy that it's drifting and slipping outside the lip line.▶ 10:16–10:23
Lip Stain
This is so pretty.
A berry stained lip and even a berry stained cheek in the springtime with a little light just really soft eye. I love that.▶ 13:25–13:31
That really does something for me.▶ 13:39–13:42
It's from Dollar Tree. The brand is La Mercery. It's called Stunning Satin Lip Tint.
It says velvety matte texture and it doesn't have a shade name on it, but it looks like this.
Packaging is kind of cute. It sort of reminds me of a Maybelline Teddy Tint, but a little bit thinner.
I haven't used a ton of this lipstick from Maybelline, their new formula.▶ 10:24–10:30
It has like a really nice thin yet fully pigmented texture and it matches up with that lip liner really well.▶ 10:32–10:37
Lipstick
They're legit. They're very comfortable, very creamy, richly pigmented.▶ 20:32–20:39
I'm not sure how much more we can ask of a little lipstick like this.▶ 20:37–20:43
Couldn't that work for every day?
This is going to give me a really pretty like rosy lip.▶ 8:09–8:13
I don't think so much true mauve. I know they named it mauve. I know the tube kind of looks mauve. Focus more on the color you're seeing on my lips. There's like this fresh rosiness, right? Love that.▶ 8:11–8:17
I'm very impressed with this new thing from e.l.f. Cosmetics.
The way these feel on your lips is so smooth, rich, creamy.
Also, I like the smell, too. Really sweet and yummy.
A pearl.
It's a really pretty shade and it's perfect for right now.▶ 11:56–12:04
Pearl finish, full color.▶ 12:02–12:07
It's a classic. It's been around for a long time.▶ 5:11–5:16
I've got a newish tube of this and it goes on so beautifully.▶ 5:21–5:31
It really is a nice moisture level here.▶ 5:28–5:34
For a light pinky pearl.▶ 12:35–12:39
That's fun. That's a fun shade that brings some frost and then you can kind of control that by the lip liner and the glosses on top.▶ 12:45–12:48
This is kind of what shade is this like classic pinky nude.▶ 18:17–18:25
We are going to go with one of the Morphe lip locks. This is in the shade Heart Riveting. It is the reddish color.▶ 10:35–10:38
What these are, they go on looking really shiny and with some good color. And after two minutes, they kind of set on there to where the only thing that may transfer off a little bit is some shine, but they actually last a super long time.▶ 10:41–10:46
It's a shiny red lip you can wear without fear.▶ 11:02–11:07
Bearpop is so pretty.
It's giving a frostiness.
It's not over the top. That pearl is so very there.▶ 10:06–10:12
EYES
32 productsBrow Product
I think it always helps and doesn't take up a lot of room.▶ 8:16–8:20
I love this stuff.▶ 10:33–10:36
Only reason I chose this one over Morphe to repurchase because I did use up Morphe as well. But this is just a couple dollars cheaper for essentially the same product.▶ 10:35–10:39
I just really think if you can find one of these ultra skinny brow pencils that's even skinnier than Brow Wiz for a good price, get on it because they are a great innovation.
And here I feel like it's just able to cut right to the skin and get me filled in and evened out exactly where I want to have that.
And look, I mean, that was really quick.
I do love this stuff.▶ 7:06–7:10
It's a good product.
It's a skinny brow pencil, but it's not as skinny as the nanoized brow pencils from like Morphe and CoverGirl.▶ 10:03–10:10
Still playing with this. Um I wasn't a huge fan of this in the last video and I still feel like it's kind of finicky. Wants to lay down a lot of product. I was very cautious with my application today, but it's still I'm working with that.▶ 17:05–17:12
I do enjoy this one
you can go through this. It will look whitish in my brows at first, but they have the little comb and brush and you can pretty much get it looking just so▶ 15:34
Eyeliner
Milani Stay Put Tank, that stuff does not move from where you put it.▶ 20:29–20:35
the Milani is a felt tip, but that applies with these too and it wears all day.▶ 21:02–21:08
Eyeshadow
This is very affordable. It's coming in at under $10, so it's cheaper than like one of the E.L.F. perfect 10 palettes.▶ 10:10–10:16
It's also a nice variety in here where I could go do a fully matte look out of what's here. Or I could incorporate some shimmer or there's some shimmers that are a little toward the deeper end that could make nice kind of like one shadow looks.▶ 10:18–10:22
I really like this palette. It's an everyday kind of tone that I would be content to use a lot.▶ 10:39–10:43
I'm going to use a little bit of L'Oreal brown abyss on my upper lash line just to create a little more balance.▶ 18:33–18:38
These are the real deal.
Whoever like grouped these shades together in these various palettes, all in all, did a really good job. Like great choices were made and then the quality of the shadow is just fantastic for as cheap as it's going to come.
It still absolutely slays.▶ 18:08–18:10
This is Dollar Tree, gang. This is $1.25 and it's operating as good as any of your other eyeshadows.
Three mattes, one shimmer. You're telling me you can't use that one? Like, this is so good.
This is an improvement and this range is offering a level of consistency I have not seen before from this line.
Three out of the four are shimmers. Just be aware of that, but they're nice, smooth, pigmented, not flaking around everywhere.▶ 13:35–13:39
This would be my least fave here, the one called Sweet Princess, just cuz I don't feel like there's enough contrast in here to make me happy.▶ 13:44–13:47
It's what cream and sugar should have been from Elf in their little bite-size quad. They gave us like a perfect little mid-tone in there to work with.▶ 12:59–13:04
Fashionista, we've got that rich kind of plummy burgundy going on. Mauve shimmer here, shimmer here.▶ 13:26–13:33
This is a solid option.
There's nice pigment in these.
These are just really easy to blend. Look, easy, seamless. Enough mattes, you know, to make it all go. Shades like this that can kind of create a gradient and blend out edges.▶ 20:15–20:20
A little bit lighter than that is the Magnetic Bronze and that's what's on the lower lash line.
It's super natural, guys.
Like this shade is just giving a slight crease.▶ 8:45–8:52
Just a fine everyday look.
I love the way it blended and came together. It's like the perfect tone of green for today.▶ 17:31–17:35
It's like a shimmery rich charcoal near black but in this very approachable shadow stick type format.▶ 17:46–17:55
It's giving me the depth, but it's not taking away from my eye shadow look.▶ 18:04–18:08
I used a shadow stick. It's the ABH Glider shadow sticks which I'm really pleased with the staying power of these as well.▶ 9:42–9:49
These are right up there with some of my favorite longwearing shadow sticks.▶ 9:49–9:54
There's a really wide shade range.▶ 9:54–9:57
I decided on this little palette from e.l.f. Cosmetics. It's the Keep It Ethereal palette.▶ 9:23–9:26
I really do like this one for easy, gentle everyday looks.▶ 9:26–9:30
I used some of this shade that has a little bit of shimmer, kind of blending gently up above the look and it gave I think the prettiest little haze there.▶ 9:30–9:38
I love that. Just a light glowy lid.▶ 4:38–4:42
one minute look with the Patrick Tom major Dimension 3 all matte palette
I love the gradient in this palette so easy
the matte white shade yeah this color right here this is super brightening and opaque so I use that around my innermost corner
Friends, this looks promising.
A little eye quad from LA Colors.
Looks very everyday and basic.
False Lashes
You got to love Ardell Wispies.▶ 6:34–6:38
They're a great classic thick lash.▶ 6:36–6:40
I always end up trimming a little bit of the length off the outsides, but I enjoy that.▶ 6:39–6:42
I used the heck out of that pair.▶ 6:48–6:52
I love these.
Not going to irritate my eyes, very sensitive, skin friendly as far as a product like this goes.▶ 9:28–9:31
It doesn't need a lot of time to set.▶ 9:39–9:42
Mascara
It is not going to smudge. It's what I always wear on my lower lash line without fail.▶ 14:19–14:26
It's the formula I trust. Tubing mascara. That's why I say it doesn't smudge. It's a tubing mascara, so it's incapable of smearing and messing up your look.▶ 14:29–14:33
It's overall a fairly defining mascara. Kind of lengthening, too. It can bulk you up enough, I think, with repeated coats.▶ 14:52–14:56
It's a tubing mascara, so I can trust that it's going to wear well.▶ 11:09–11:13
That one really builds up nicely.
I will say like can build up a lot of length and thickness.▶ 11:16–11:19
I do love this one.
This is no doubt Wet n Wild's best mascara.▶ 11:06–11:18
You are going to get a defined look, but you're not going to be struggling to build your lashes up with a little length and thickness at the same time.▶ 11:25–11:29
It really made my lashes look pretty thick.▶ 19:53–19:56
I'm loving this one.
I feel like it's really good, really buildable.▶ 9:20–9:24
I did not have any trouble with the wear of the mascara and I have worn it upper lashes and lower lashes.▶ 21:14–21:18
It is a true tubing mascara it seems.▶ 21:21–21:26
The thing I wasn't immediately wowed by was an amazing look of volume on my lashes or a ton of length.▶ 21:23–21:29
I feel like it bulks up my lashes quickly, which is a quality I really want.
It does build up really fast, which keeps my curl from dropping so much, and that I like.
If I get a really good curl on them, like this mascara looks so nice on me.
Then boom, we've got mascara on. It's Too Faced Ribbon Wrapped.
It's a tubing mascara.
We've got Essence Lash Princess Sculpted Volume on my upper lashes.▶ 10:02–10:10
SKINCARE
10 productsBody
I like this because I feel like it kind of guards against any like body breakouts.▶ 2:55–3:03
I feel like this smells good and fresh and it keeps that kind of stuff from cropping up.▶ 3:04–3:10
Eye Cream
I think very effectively depuffs and it's just good for that delicate under eye area.▶ 4:55–5:02
I did repurchase that.
Moisturizer
I love this as just a basic everyday moisturizer.▶ 5:12–5:20
Not too much moisture, not too little.▶ 5:18–5:22
Always sensitive skin friendly.▶ 5:20–5:22
The heavy duty stuff.
Other
I used my uh what's the brand? Isle of Paradise medium sunless tanning drops in with my E.L.F. moisturizer.▶ 2:47–2:55
I wake up and I feel like my skin looks so good.▶ 2:57–3:03
Serum
I like that stuff.▶ 4:20–4:23
Very affordable range of serums if you're interested.▶ 4:22–4:26
It feels very silky and gently hydrating in itself as it goes on.▶ 1:16–1:24
I've been using it for a few days now and seems to be working well.▶ 1:31–1:34
SPF
It was good.
It did a good job for me.
I love that stuff.▶ 6:13–6:16
Talk about something that gets the job done SPF wise, but never interferes with the makeup going on on top.▶ 6:15–6:20
I just love it.
HAIR
3 productsBrow Product
My brows are CoverGirl Clean Fresh Nano.▶ 9:14–9:18
Shampoo
I don't love it at all.
I would not repurchase.
I feel like it did the job kind of, but it never made my hair feel as clean as I thought it should have felt.▶ 3:20–3:28
TOOLS

I adore Laura Geller's products. I love what happens in a baked bronze and brighten.▶ 4:02–4:10
I just love the pigment. I love the richness of Laura Geller, but it's not overwhelming because again, it's swirled.▶ 4:21–4:26
It just turns out to look so good on my skin every time.▶ 4:28–4:33
The more I use them, the more I'm impressed by these.▶ 1:17–1:24
They're so smooth as I touch it. Like just really really soft.▶ 1:39–1:44
It's not a product you're going to scrub into with your brush.▶ 1:44–1:47
Brow Product
It's got that perfect little brush that has very short bristles on one end. So, that's where you can fill and the longer bristles help fluff it on through, you know?▶ 8:01–8:07
This has incredible hold. That's just the cherry on top.▶ 8:21–8:26
I can do a brow I truly am satisfied with.▶ 8:31–8:36
I know I could go in there and grab this and be like, 'Yep, I can create a brow with this.'▶ 13:56–14:03
I do love the tone of neutral brown because while it is a thicker pencil and it would show like if it was an improper tone of pencil, given the thickness of the pencil, I think it would definitely kind of show up. But it's very good, very cool.▶ 14:03–14:07
You have the spoolie that you can brush through and that does help when you feel like maybe the texture or the size isn't quite perfect with your brow pencil. That spoolie, don't underestimate what that can do cuz it can kind of diffuse the product a little bit.▶ 14:15–14:22
Brush
Oh, this is handling this one with ease. Look how pretty this looks already.▶ 1:47–1:55
The speed with which I can get around my face.▶ 2:03–2:07
It's going to do great with this guy.▶ 3:29–3:32
The e.l.f. Cosmetics complexion duo brush is a good one.▶ 2:47–2:53
Any good dense brush, any of mine that I like will work well with this stuff.▶ 2:49–2:58
If you have a Sephora 56 or a Real Techniques expert face brush, something of this size and this density level, you dip right in.▶ 10:22–10:30
I would use the same kind of brush as Sephora 56. Ideal for this type of stuff.▶ 11:41–11:46
When we're talking application of the powders with pretty much anything I mentioned there, I would use a brush probably this size. Like this is my Sephora angled brush. It's the 93.▶ 11:41–11:51
Really like the shape and size of this one.▶ 5:24–5:31
I found a retractable kabuki that is not a blunt cut, but it's kind of tapered around the outsides. And I think she does sell something like this.▶ 7:19–7:24
I just find myself going in, getting a light bit on, and kind of going elsewhere on the face where I didn't do my loose powder job.▶ 7:30–7:38
Concealer
Wearing that in cream puff in all my usual zones.▶ 3:54–3:59
Contour
This is a multitasker. Without having a ton of products on hand, they have something here that can really be adjusted to be the type of product a person needs it to be.▶ 8:35–8:39
You got lighter tone, deeper tone. You've got the ability to mix.▶ 8:44–8:48
These powders are very soft. They're very pigmented. If you haven't tried them before, it doesn't take a lot. You don't need to be scrubbing your brush in there.▶ 9:12–9:16
Eyeliner
I love the way it applies.
It's really easy to put on.
The staying power like by two-thirds of the way through the day the first time I wore it, it transferred down to like my lower inner corner and lash line and I'm not liking that.▶ 20:08–20:15
Lip Gloss
This one has just a teensy more warm pink to it.▶ 6:50–6:59
The reflective quality is so great.▶ 6:59–7:03
It doesn't have any kind of feel. It just has the glimmer.▶ 7:05–7:12
Setting Powder
This works so well with a small brush.▶ 5:56–6:01
It does not look heavy, it's just perfect.▶ 6:07–6:11
If you're approaching this and thinking this is what I'm going to put up on my under eye area to set it, it can come off on a powder puff and be maybe a little thicker than you want.▶ 6:12–6:20
Tool
I would love to come up with a drugstore lash curler that I loved as much as Shiseido, but unfortunately, I'm not there yet.▶ 15:04–15:09
I'm really loving this. This is the little slider mirror, the little mermaid one. I think it's so cute and pretty from the ColourPop mermaid collection.
I'm using that e.l.f. Cosmetics Pinky Puff, and I'm just hitting all these areas.▶ 6:24–6:29
