NEW DRUGSTORE MAKEUP | Elf, Maybelline, Beauty Creations
Soft Glam Cream Bronzershade · Light Medium- “This one does not have the slip that the Beauty Creations has. It's a little draggy”▶ 3:44
- “It's less emollient than the Beauty Creations. I feel like I'm going to need kind of a denser brush”▶ 3:58
- “Yeah, this needs a slightly denser brush to blend out cuz it just doesn't have that glide”▶ 4:07
- “Oh, it's a nice color though. Okay. Okay. I do like that. I do like that shade. It's not too orange for us fair skinned people”▶ 4:40
- “I think the E.L.F. sticks blend beautifully. Not super emollient, so they take a little bit of a either a firmer hand or a denser brush, but I think they blend it out beautifully, so that's fine”▶ 23:00
Soft Glam Cream Blushshade · Pink on It- “Yeah, these sticks are kind of hard, not very glidey. That said, they do seem to blend out okay, even though it's it just requires a denser brush and a little harder, a little firmer touch”▶ 4:07
- “I like that though. That That looks all right. That looks all right”▶ 4:47
- “I think the E.L.F. sticks blend beautifully. Not super emollient, so they take a little bit of a either a a firmer hand or a denser brush, but I think they blend it out beautifully, so that's fine”
Sheer For It Blush Tintshade · Mauve Actually- “It's a straight up liquid, like a drippy, watery liquid, which makes me feel like I need to shake it”▶ 5:08
- “It is watery. Literal water”▶ 5:20
- “It's pretty. It shears out. It's not like a I was worried it was going to be like a stain, you know”▶ 5:39
- “It's watery and it feels wet, which just is very strange. I feel like putting this on top of a fuller coverage foundation might be sketchy because of the wetness”▶ 6:08
- “It's really pretty though for like a low base kind of a situation. I really like that. Like that's a nice look”
- “This stain from E.L.F., the cheek stain, I think is a beautiful no makeup makeup type of a look”▶ 23:23
Halo Glow Silky Powder Highlightershade · Flamingold- “Oh, it's gold. It's very gold. Yeah, I don't really wear gold. It's pretty though”▶ 8:16
- “I don't see myself wearing this very much because it's gold”▶ 8:44
- “I was hoping I feel like the name it was called flaming gold and it's in like a pinkish gold. So, I was kind of hoping it would be more on the rose gold, like pinky side of the fence”▶ 8:50
- “It's not accentuating texture, though. I think that looks quite nice. If the color was right for me, it would be lovely. So, thumbs up on the formula”
- “I wish there was a shade of this that was more pink than gold, but it's beautiful”▶ 22:52
- “I already have their stain and tint brush, which I love. So, I will be using that”▶ 0:51
Maybelline$13.99- “This is doing a really nice job of separating and lengthening. I'll give it that. It's not giving me like that thick, deep, rooted look, but it is doing quite a nice job separating and lengthening”
- “I think I would totally wear this for a low makeup makeup look because when I do a full eye look, I want the density of lash, but when I'm just doing a look like the one I've got going on right now, like that minimal out the door kind of situation, this mascara look is kind of perfect for that”
- “This might be the first time that I've actually liked the look of a tubing mascara on me”▶ 14:45
- “I really like the separation and the lengthening of these, which I guess the issue is that most tubing mascaras don't look that way on me”▶ 15:03
- “I like this mascara. I like this. I do like this. That's unusual. That's very unusual”▶ 15:29
- “But for a minimal eye look like this, I think it's just right. I like that. I definitely like that”
- “Okay, maybe the first tubing mascara I've ever liked”▶ 14:53
Maybelline$9.99Lifter Oil-in-Gel Lip Glossshade · Strawberry Shake- “It actually just smells like perfume and tastes like perfume. It doesn't taste good. It tastes chemically. So, don't buy it for the flavor”▶ 18:14
- “Feels really nice. Cushiony gel feeling to it”▶ 18:30
- “I would say the shade is like a tint. How long it sticks around would be the question”▶ 18:40
- “I don't like how it tastes at all. It's actually kind of gross, but very chemically, but the feeling is like comforting. My lips feel really good”▶ 19:16
- “And I don't like the taste of this at all, but it feels wonderful. So, and it looks nice. It looks nice”▶ 23:34
Main Stain Lip Markershade · Mauvelous- “It's a hard tip like um firmer than a felt tip. The shape is interesting”▶ 20:40
- “It feels like the CoverGirl less wet, but I think the opacity is similar cuz it's pretty dark on my lips right now”▶ 21:05
- “Dried down immediately”▶ 21:17
- “It stays wet, so it's got to be spongelike, but it is buildable. It's getting darker when I layer over it”▶ 21:44
- “I'm going to say thumbs up. We're going to go thumbs up on that”▶ 21:58
- “I like that they are outside the box, not just cloning things, putting their own twist on it”▶ 22:02
Sephora Collection$8.00Colorful Eyeshadowshade · Scented Candle- “I can't stand how hard these are to open. And I don't understand why they're so hard to open”▶ 9:53
- “That alone will get me to stop using these because I mean, I'm just not going to do this every time I'm trying to do my makeup”▶ 10:05
- “I do love the shade, but oh, the packaging sucks”▶ 10:46
- “Shade is beautiful, but the packaging will prevent me from using it”▶ 10:55
- “Oh, it's a good color, though. I do like this shade”
Sephora Collection$8.00Colorful Eyeshadowshade · Shock Choc- “Well, actually, this works kind of well being brownish cuz it'll go with that highlight and then it won't look totally mismatched”▶ 11:55
