TRYING NEW MAKEUP RELEASES... I Have Thoughts 👀
Bobbi Brown$70.00- “It's so thick and hydrating in the best way possible, so nourishing, and it just preps your skin so well for the makeup”▶ 1:36
- “I love that they added more skin care, more hydration to it, but it honestly feels pretty much the same on the skin as the original, which I personally love that they didn't change the texture”▶ 2:17
- “I love how this just melts into your skin. Oh, this feels so nice”▶ 2:32
- “The new updated vitamin enriched face base from Bobbi Brown performed exactly like the OG, which I'm really happy about”
- “A little bit goes such a long way with this product”▶ 2:12
Lancôme$50.00Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation Stickshade · 210- “It just glides on”
- “Okay, so far it's blending out so effortlessly, which I honestly expected nothing less from it because Lancôme makes really high quality products”▶ 5:05
- “And yes, this is definitely natural finish. It's not dewy. It doesn't feel sticky or heavy”▶ 5:14
- “Wow, it literally took me 1 minute to fully blend this out”▶ 5:25
- “It just looks like skin. Very natural. Not heavy”▶ 5:52
- “It emphasizes a little bit of texture here, but again, I've put maybe a little too much in this area. So, maybe that's on me and not on foundation”▶ 5:58
- “It just feels like a hydrating layer on the skin, if that makes sense”▶ 6:07
- “I have dry skin and I'm really curious to see how it wears throughout the day”▶ 6:16
- “But my first impression, these are really lightweight, they blend beautifully, and I love that you can customize the coverage”▶ 27:09
CoverGirl$9.99TruBlend Skin Enhancer Contour Balmshade · 120 Sculpted- “Wow, this formula just melted into the skin so easy”▶ 7:25
- “I feel like it doesn't really add a lot of warmth into my face, but I'm really impressed by this formula”▶ 7:36
- “I feel like if you're into contour, definitely give the CoverGirl ones a try because they're so affordable and the formula feels so nice and lightweight”▶ 7:40
- “These True Blend Skin Enhancers Contour Balms from CoverGirl were really easy to use. They melt into your skin and they blend out beautifully”
Armani Beauty$40.00Luminous Silk Cheek Tintshade · Cinnamon- “Oh, this shade is so gorgeous. It's that perfect sunburn I just got back from vacation post-tan blushy look and the formula just melts into your skin”▶ 9:02
- “It has this really interesting satin matte finish. It's not dewy and even though it's a balm, it doesn't feel heavy or sticky whatsoever”▶ 9:13
- “It actually sets down, but it also doesn't look dry, which I really appreciate”▶ 9:24
- “These blushes are very interesting because they have that almost stain like effect and because of that I feel like they're very long wearing”▶ 10:15
- “I find that they wear so beautifully throughout the day”▶ 10:29
- “I'm really liking the new Armani Dolce blushes. I just love how they give you that soft blurred finish without looking dry”▶ 27:26

- no stillArmani Beauty$42.00Luminous Silk Concealershade · Four
Hard Candy$7.97- “I have been absolutely obsessed with this powder and this is all I want to use now”▶ 11:15
- no still
Rare Beauty$21.00Brow Harmony Flexible Lifting Eyebrow Gelshade · Rich Taupe- “This eyebrow gel is hands down my absolute favorite. It's just such an amazing formula because it keeps your eyebrows in shape and in place all day long, no matter what, no matter shine, rain, nothing will move”▶ 15:04
- “You guys, this is not the same formula as the original. And this one doesn't hold my eyebrows in place as well as the OG, unfortunately”▶ 15:32
- “But don't get me wrong, it still gives you a really good hold. And the formula is really good overall”▶ 15:46
- “It's not overly pigmented. It doesn't get messy like some tinted eyebrow gels can, but there's something and I'm not sure what it is, but the OG is better”▶ 15:55
- “I still like the new tinted version of the eyebrow gel from Rare Beauty. I will still wear it. However, my personal favorite is the OG because the hold on this one is a little bit better”▶ 27:38
ColourPop$26- “Ooh, this is such a gorgeous light lavender. Wow, and it's so bright”▶ 17:47
- “I'm really surprised by this deeper purple because it blended out really easily, and it didn't give me any hard time working with it”▶ 18:31
- “It has a lot of golden sparkles in it, so pretty”▶ 18:51
- “I didn't try all of the shades of course, but the shades that I've tried were beautiful. I had zero issues working with these mats, and even though the shimmer is filled with golden sparkles, it didn't give me fall out”
Milani$14.99Highly Rated Lash Extensions Tubing Mascarashade · Black- “First impression, it's really black, and the brush makes it really easy to separate each lash. So, yes, it's definitely not clumping”▶ 20:22
- “It gives a really nice amount of volume, but I wouldn't say that it's the most dramatic mascara I've ever tried”▶ 20:32
- “And I'm trying to build it up, and it starts clumping, so I definitely think you cannot layer it all that much”▶ 20:39
- “I thought it gave me a really nice amount of volume to my lashes, and it's also super black”
BASMA Beauty$22.00The Lip Lock Linershade · Two- “These go on so creamy, very pigmented, but I like that they don't feel heavy”▶ 21:04
- “Ooh, I love how they just glide”▶ 21:14
- “And I love that they have that really good ratio of being creamy to dry. So, they're not overly creamy, but they also don't feel like you're dragging them around your lips. They're not dry at all”▶ 21:16
- “Oh, yes, this is such a gorgeous lip liner shade. I can see myself reaching for this one a lot more”▶ 21:27
- “I'm really impressed by this formula because they are not overly creamy and they're not overly dry. They're somewhere perfectly in between and I had zero issues working with them”▶ 21:21
Huda Beauty$25.00Liquid Matte Mousse Soft Blur Lip Creamshade · Bombshell Pinky Brown- “It feels weightless on the lips. It's not sticky, not heavy”▶ 22:21
- “Now, does it accentuate my lip texture? Yes. Again, I'm 37. I have lip lines, wrinkles, texture, all of it”▶ 22:29
- “And this is a flexible formula, meaning it will transfer. But, honestly, I'd much rather prefer that over something that sets down and feels like concrete on your lips”▶ 22:43
- “So, I still don't like liquid lipsticks, I'll be honest, but this is a very nice formula”▶ 22:53
- “If you're somebody who likes liquid lipsticks, I think you will enjoy it because it feels really updated and modern and it feels nothing like those old 2016 heavy liquid lips”▶ 22:58
- “Personally, matte lips is not my thing, but if you are into them, the liquid matte mousse from Huda Beauty is a really nice updated modern formula that doesn't feel heavy or dry”
CoverGirl$11.99Clean Fresh Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balmshade · Fudge Brownie
Milani$10.99- “Wow. Now, it is weightless and it is microfine”
- “However, this is so scented. Ooh, if you don't like heavily fragranced setting mists, stay away from this one”▶ 24:22
- “However, you absolutely cannot breathe this in because it feels like poison, I'll be honest”▶ 24:37
- “But this is what it looks like first applied. It has this really natural finish. I really enjoy that”▶ 24:41
- “It definitely gave a little bit of a glow to my complexion and it doesn't feel heavy or sticky whatsoever”▶ 24:47
- “The Make It Last Microfine Mist from Milani feels incredibly lightweight on the skin and I love how fine the mist is. However, this is so heavily fragranced, but I have to play with it a little bit more to know how I feel about it”▶ 29:10
- “It is soft, clean, and it has that almond sweet note. I really enjoy this one, especially after my showers”▶ 25:22
L'Occitane$40.00Almond Hair & Body Mistshade · Almond Creme Brulee- “Wow, you guys, it's divine. This is roasted almonds, vanilla milk, and praline”▶ 25:37
- “And to me, this smells like the most expensive almond dessert you can think of. It's sweet, very creamy, and really cozy”▶ 25:47
- “But I love this one because it's not overly sugary. I just can't stop wearing this one. I've been obsessed with it”▶ 25:56
- “However, Crème Brûlée just takes the cake because I'm a gourmand girly”▶ 29:26
L'Occitane$40.00Almond Hair & Body Mistshade · Almond Pistachio- “It's really warm and nutty. It's a little less sweet, less dessert-y than the creme brulee”▶ 26:14
- “It just feels a little lighter than the creme brulee, and I feel like you have to love your pistachios to enjoy this one”▶ 26:20
- “I am a gourmand girly. I love anything sweet, so this one is my absolute favorite out of them”▶ 26:27
