New Makeup Releases: What's Worth Buying?!
- “I kind of like that doe foot applicator. I don't like squeezy tubes. Nope. Don't like squeezy bronzers”▶ 0:49
- “I think it claims to give a dewy, glowy, bronzed look. They blend effortlessly into the skin with an easy to build formula”▶ 0:58
- “Yeah, these look like something that would be really up my alley and €3 each. Just just amazing”▶ 1:08
- “That packaging looks almost identical to NYX. Um, that's a bit of a ripoff, isn't it?”▶ 1:26
- “This looks like a direct copy of the Crazy Lift Brow Laminating Gel, which I absolutely love”▶ 1:37
- “I would be shocked if that was better than this. This is my holy grail. This is the best of the best eyebrow holding product on the market, whether it's high-end, whether it's drugstore”▶ 1:50
- “I'm very interested in this because I do my own gel nails”▶ 2:28
- “So, you need to avoid contact with the skin. You need to make sure that it's not undercured. You need to make sure that you don't cure it onto the skin”▶ 3:03
- “But one thing is for sure, you definitely need a lamp for these new polishes”▶ 3:22
True Skin Hydrating Foundationshade · Like Luminous- “Now, this foundation claims to give a natural radiant finish. Probably one of my favorite types of finish. Has medium buildable coverage. Lasts for up to 12 hours. Water, sweat, and smudge resistant. Ultra lightweight. Melts into the skin”▶ 4:30
- “Sounds like the perfect foundation”▶ 4:55
- “So, I am definitely going to be grabbing that and putting out a review soon”▶ 5:29
- “I really hope this is the dupe for those. You know, that lip oil balm from Catrice is $3.95 and all of the shades that I want are sold out”▶ 5:48
- “And what I really like about this, it reminds me of the new Revlon eyeshadow sticks, which I don't have because they're not here yet, but they have um a little brush on the other end. Um it looks like a I think it's a kabuki brush on the other end, which helps with blending. So, that's really nice”
- “I mean, the shade range I I don't know if four shades is it, but that's pretty disappointing”▶ 6:38
Sephora Collection$18.00- “When I saw this pop up on my feed, I actually thought that it was an ABH palette. Uh, it really looks like one, doesn't it?”▶ 6:56
- “But I know that the Sephora Collection have come such a long way in the last few years. I mean the stuff that I've tried from them lately, I've loved absolutely everything”▶ 7:17
- “An all matte palette is definitely something I'm interested in”▶ 7:40
- “And that color story. I know it won't excite some people, but me, I'm as beige as they come and uh that it just looks just looks lovely”▶ 8:15
- “I think the release date is the 31st of July and $18. I don't think that's bad at all”▶ 8:27
Sephora Collection$18.00- “So, this retails for $18 and it claims to be a buildable complexion enhancer with a lightweight coverage for a filtered skin finish and intense glitter-free glow plus up to 16 hours of hydration”▶ 8:41
- “And it kind of gives me L'Oreal Lumi Tint vibes. And I [clears throat] hated that because I looked like a robot when I put it on my face”▶ 9:05
- “But I don't think it's going to give you a whole lot of coverage”▶ 9:26
- “I think the main draw towards this product is the fact that it's shimmer-free”▶ 9:27
- “Obviously, it caught my interest, but I'm not going to be like running out to buy this. Um, if I feel like it, maybe if they have a bit of money off Sephora, you know, 20% off, I might be tempted to pick it up, but I'm not desperate”▶ 10:36
- “This literally is one of the best foundation sticks to ever exist on the planet. And when it was discontinued, everybody had a meltdown”▶ 11:38
- “The way that this melts into the skin, the way that it becomes one with the skin and just looks so flawless, has that really creamy texture to it, but not overly emolient and was just premium”▶ 12:47
- “But do you know what else was premium about this? The price. Yeah, it was so expensive”▶ 13:01
- “I'm getting it. Yeah, I am. I don't usually sit here and say that I'm going to buy extortionately priced items. I usually say that I'm not going to. I'm going to. I am. I'm doing it”▶ 13:29
- “But there was something really special about this”
- “So, as far as I can see, these retail for $28, and there are five shades to choose from. And again, they are all sparkly, so you need to be liking shimmery eyes shadows to love these”▶ 14:36
- “Now, they do look glittery. Um, so I'm wondering if there's going to be any fallout”▶ 14:47
- “Basically, these give a sparkling sheer finish. Sheer finish. They don't look very sheer to me”▶ 14:51
- “I love the shade Bad Influence, which is a sparkling light peach with silver pearl. I will definitely pick up one of those”▶ 14:58
- “But this has a unique wavy bristled brush. So, multi-length bristles. No, not bristles. bristles which grab onto every lash, a prolonged tip for the inner corners. And yeah, that's definitely more of a brush that I can get on board with”▶ 16:16
- “I can't see any price on here, but it's Nars and it's probably going to be expensive. So, I'd say 30 odd euros, I would imagine, but I'm really interested in trying that”▶ 16:32
One/Size$28.00- “So these claim to neutralize the appearance of discoloration from redness, hyperpigmentation, dark circles or scarring”▶ 17:39
- “Great color range there”▶ 17:52
- “Now it looks smaller than the Bobbi Brown, which actually will make it really good for getting into like the inner corner or little crevices. It'll make it really good for micro color correction”▶ 17:55
- “And waterproof, sweatproof, smudge proof, and transferproof. I really hope that's true because so many products claim to be that, but they're not”▶ 18:10
- “And if I could conceal my hyperpigmentation with maybe one of those peachy color correctors, that will be unbelievably amazing. So, yeah, I'm excited. I'm excited for that”▶ 18:22
MCoBeauty$19.99- “Scandinavia have actually teamed up with MCO Beauty and they are going to be selling the original Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, but now it's going to be the MCO Beauty All Dayer Setting Spray”
- “And for that reason, I'm not interested in purchasing from them. That's just a personal thing”▶ 21:51
- “Although, you know, they're dupes, but they're not that cheap, by the way. No, they're not cheap”▶ 21:56
- “I just not sure that people are going to invest their money in purchasing from MCO Beauty”▶ 24:57
Urban Decay$34.00- “They have a new setting spray being released on the 2nd of August, and it's called the ghosting spray. The Allnighter ghosting spray”▶ 26:25
- “By the way, the Urban Decay is a spray-on setting powder. Very interesting. I think I'd hate that actually. I hate powder”
