Rating New Drugstore Launches! Are They Any Good?
CoverGirl$12.99- “I do think that the bronzer is really nice. It's giving high-end vibes”▶ 0:29
- “However, this does have a radiant finish. This is not ideal for someone with combination to oily or very oily skin”▶ 0:32
- “It blends well and looks nice and the tone is just right”▶ 0:40
- “This baked bronzer formula, I would say out of 10, I would give it an eight”▶ 0:42
CoverGirl$12.99- “The blushes are also equally as good. They're giving that high-end vibe”▶ 0:47
- “Very similar to a very expensive high-end product that is baked that you can get at Sephora”▶ 0:49
- “These are incredible. I started off with one shade, went back for another, and I definitely think this is a 12 out of 10, for sure”▶ 0:58
CoverGirl$9.99- “I would give this an eight out of 10. I do think that this does a nice job at giving a sort of soft radiant look to the skin”▶ 1:07
- “However, this does have a sheen to it, a glow. So, this is not something that someone with oily skin would want to wear all over”▶ 1:13
- “Maybe strategically as possibly a highlighter, it might be okay”▶ 1:20
- “But, this would be great for someone with dry skin and mature skin friendly”▶ 1:24
ColourPop$9.00Freckle Penshade · Soft Brown- “I honestly do enjoy this quite a bit. I would give this a nine out of 10”▶ 1:30
- “It is easy to apply, it's easy to make it look natural”▶ 1:34
- “It only comes in one shade, so that's the drawback. That is why I'm not giving this a 10 out of 10 rating”▶ 1:36
- “I do think that they should offer more shades because soft brown is the only one available, and I don't think that's the exact tone that every single skin tone needs to create natural-looking freckles”▶ 1:42
- “But, if you can make this work, this is a great option”▶ 1:50
Revlon$12.99PhotoReady Instant Plump Serum Glossshade · Magically Inflated- “This is a 12 out of 10. This was an easy way for me to rate it because I just love these so, so much”▶ 1:56
- “I started off with one shade, magically inflated, which is the color that I'm wearing. I went back and bought another, and honestly, I want to collect all the shades because this formula truly does plump the lips”▶ 2:01
- “It has a soft kind of minty cooling sensation. I feel like the sting is pretty bearable, and you do get results”▶ 2:11
- “The shade range is great. It goes on easily, lasts a long time, and it does have a nice high shine color”▶ 2:17
- “So, this is an absolute yes”
Super Dewy Cushion Foundationshade · Medium Neutral- “I'm going to give this a five out of 10 just because the undertone for me was just wrong”▶ 2:27
- “I purchased the shade medium neutral, and it is not neutral. It's quite orange and not very natural-looking on the skin”▶ 2:30
- “This is extremely dewy, so this is not something that I would recommend for someone with oily skin or very oily skin”▶ 2:36
- “If you have dry skin, very dry skin, mature skin, I think you will absolutely love this, but for me, unfortunately, it's not one of my favorite options from this range or at the drugstore when it comes to foundations”▶ 2:41
- “Albeit, this is a cool packaging, a different concept, it's just something that I do not enjoy”▶ 2:52
- “My rating on this is a seven out of 10. They do have some pigment, they're easy to blend, but these are very dewy, and it has that kind of emollient base to it, and you can feel that when you feel the texture of this product”▶ 3:00
- “It's convenient because it's in a stick form, but this is not for every skin type”▶ 3:12
- “I wouldn't say this is something that I would recommend for someone with oily skin because it does have a dewy finish, no shimmer, it's a nice kind of creamy color, but there is hydration to this, so this is not something for everyone”▶ 2:36
- “However, the shade range in the bronzers are great”▶ 3:28
- “My rating on this is a seven out of 10. They do have some pigment, they're easy to blend, but these are very dewy, and it has that kind of emollient base to it, and you can feel that when you feel the texture of this product”▶ 1:56
- “It's convenient because it's in a stick form, but this is not for every skin type”
- “I wouldn't say this is something that I would recommend for someone with oily skin because it does have a dewy finish, no shimmer, it's a nice kind of creamy color, but there is hydration to this, so this is not something for everyone”
- “And the colors in the blush are beautiful”
NYX$18.00Fat Oil Body Oilshade · Coconut Cutie- “The next Fat Oil Body Oil in Coconut Cutie is actually quite good. I'm going to give this a 10 out of 10 because it does have that beautiful glow and that bronziness that you would want during this time of the year when we're outside more often showing more skin”▶ 3:32
- “This is easily applied with your fingers”▶ 3:45
- “This gives you a beautiful glow and it looks even prettier when you go out in the sunlight and the scent is incredible and I do enjoy this quite a bit”▶ 3:50
e.l.f. Cosmetics$12.00Set It Bright Correcting & Brightening Setting Powdershade · Light-Medium- “The Elf Set It Right Correcting and Brightening Powder is actually a very good strong launch that just literally launched. It's hot off the press. I'm going to give this a 12 out of 10”▶ 4:00
- “This actually gives the high-end vibes. It sets, it blurs, and it looks incredibly beautiful”▶ 4:12
- “Comes with four shades. The shade that I purchased is light medium and I think it works for me right now with a little bit more of a tan to my skin tone and this actually is giving high-end vibes”▶ 4:16
- “It's very shocking how close this is to the higher end component that you will see at Sephora”▶ 4:25
- “Now, I will say that that version, the new version is not the same as the old, but we're getting pretty close and I think this is the closest that I've tried so far to that high-end and it's a fraction of the cost”▶ 4:29
Physicians Formula$16.99- “Now, I do think this is a nice formula. I think it blends well. I am wearing this as my cream bronzer over my entire face”▶ 4:51
- “The only drawback that I would say is that this is only available in one shade and this shade is simply not going to be a shade that works for every different skin tone”▶ 4:57
- “Someone with extremely fair skin may not be able to make this work and someone with very dark skin can't even make this work because it's not going to show up”▶ 5:03
- “I do think this range needs to have an expansion of colors and I do think that that's something that the brand specifically needs to work on when it comes to offering these types of products in only one shade”▶ 5:12
- “So, for those reasons, I'm going to knock this down a little bit and give this a seven out of 10 because I personally can make this color work”▶ 5:23
- “I do think the formula blends well and it looks nice and it looks natural and it does go over my foundation pretty seamless”▶ 5:28
- “But, I am knocking it because of the shade range options. It needs to be improved”▶ 5:35
Morphe$19- “For me, this is going to be a 12 out of 10. You get a cream and a bronzer. You can use both, one or the other, layer them, do what you want to do with them”▶ 5:41
- “The shade range is beautiful. It blends incredibly well”▶ 5:48
- “And if you tried their blush formula before, you're going to get that same blendable high-end quality with this bronzing tone”▶ 5:50
- “So, this is an automatic yes for me. I absolutely love this, and I'm using the powder bronzer today all over my entire face, and the bronze tones are actual tones that you need with the proper undertone”▶ 5:56
Essence$5.99- “This is a $5.99 concealer, which is absolutely insane. It's less than $10 at the drugstore, and this is going to get a 10 out of 10 for me because the formula is just incredible”▶ 6:08
- “It's got enough color, enough payoff and pigmentation. It blends well, looks smooth, it blurs out the skin, wears incredibly well”▶ 6:19
- “I literally have no notes”▶ 6:28
Maybelline$13.99Lash Sensational Sky Tubes Tubing Mascarashade · Very Black- “This is going to get a nine out of 10 for me because the formula is quite good”▶ 6:16
- “It has a nice wand that really coats the lashes, helps extend them from inner corner to outer corner”▶ 6:45
- “It has a nice deep rich color, and the only drawback is that this is only available in black right now”▶ 6:51
- “I am sure with more popularity and more sales, they'll probably increase the shade range and give us maybe a brown possibly because I do know a lot of people like to wear brown mascaras”▶ 6:54
- “But the beauty of this is that it doesn't give you raccoon eyes, comes off incredibly easy with warm soapy water. You don't need to do anything special to get this to come off, and it doesn't damage the lashes”▶ 7:03
- “So, I do really enjoy this is working for me so far”▶ 7:13
- “Elf Glow Reviver Melting Balms has now been expanded with additional shades. I think there's four new shades total, and I picked up three, and this is going to get a 12 out of 10 because the formula feels so incredibly luxe”▶ 7:15
- “It's high shine. It feels incredible on the lips. It feels like something that you paid four times the cost, but the scents of these is spot-on”▶ 7:27
- “So, it's going to smell like a blue raspberry slushy. It's going to smell like an Island Colada. Definitely giving that pink lemonade vibe”▶ 7:34
- “These have a bit of shimmer to it, but it's not gritty. It feels incredibly smooth, so yes, if you want a lip balm, something fun for summer, definitely try these”▶ 7:41
