  1. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing CoverGirl Simply Ageless Skin Perfector Essence at 01:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    CoverGirl$21.49
    • This is a thin thin thin thin lightweight watery texture0:54
    • So this has been really nice for like something that's very very breathable, very airy. Feels like virtually nothing on your skin1:07
    • It feels like a hyaluronic acid serum on your skin1:11
    • The coverage of this is light to medium, so you can actually build up and layer it a touch, which I find is very helpful1:25
    • It is the utmost lightweight, breathable, and very refreshing skin tint to wear1:49
    • The bonus, it's extremely affordable
    • It's like they took a picture of my my complexion and they bottled it to perfection. Like this is my true skin tone in a bottle2:09
    • They nailed a true neutral olive complexion2:20
  2. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Merit The Uniform Skin Tint at 02:46 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Merit$38.00
    • This has been such a favorite of mine2:41
    • I like to recommend this one more for oily skin, which is my skin type, but I'm also 40 and I also like to have like some extra hydration. I feel like this gives me the best of both worlds2:46
    • It feels really nice going on. It feels comfortable like a skin tint should2:56
    • It's light, but it gives coverage3:00
    • It dries down so it doesn't stay wet on your skin where like if you go to scratch your face it transfers right away which is something that really bothers me when I'm wearing glowy products. This doesn't do that3:02
    • It's very long-lasting
    • This is technically called a tinted mineral sunscreen. It has SPF 433:21
  3. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing L.A. Girl PRO.color Foundation Mixing Pigment at 05:02 in a YouTube Shorts video
    L.A. Girl$10.00
    • It is so affordable. It's not even funny. They have it at Ulta, Target, Walmart, like everywhere4:58
    • This is highly concentrated pure color pigment. You need a drop of this to neutralize any foundation5:02
    • So, if a foundation is pulling too warm, use something like this to neutralize it, to calm it down5:10
    • It instantly neutralizes it enough to make it ultimately very wearable for me and my complexion5:29
    • Color correction and neutralizing foundations does not need to be complicated. You don't need to go to school for it5:46
    • It's a really great way to neutralize it quick and easy6:01
  4. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Typology Concentrate Illuminator at 07:30 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This also has vitamin C added to it, which is 5% of it, and also aloe vera. Good for sensitive skin7:21
    • And this is just a beautiful liquid illuminator7:30
    • I'll use it to thin out or shear out a more full coverage product or just to add more glow7:39
    • And very long-lasting. It's not a greasy feeling. Like, this actually dries down, which is another reason why I love it and why it's in my pro kit as well7:34
    • It's like a beautiful wearable champagne. It just looks so glowy and fresh on your skin8:11
    • It is honestly topnotch

  6. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Lip Liner at 10:27 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • And the colors, the colors are like my dream colors10:27
    • Toasty. If you've never seen me use Toasty, it's just a holy grail10:33
  7. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Lip Liner at 10:40 in a YouTube Shorts video

  8. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Lip Liner at 10:47 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • Girls Weekend, if you can get it, get it
    • But only get it if you're looking for truly a cool cool toned pinky nude lipstick. If you're not looking for a cool tone, it might look a little might look a little corpsey11:29
    • but these two, I can't stop. I can't be stopped
  11. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAC Cosmetics Lipstick at 12:01 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstickshade · Be My Bridesmaid
    • Be my bridesmaid is more neutral. So, if you are not a fan of the cool tones, if they don't look good on your undertone, for example, then Be My Bridesmaid is a more neutral, more like most people can wear this one and pull it off, especially with a lip liner, and end up loving it11:40
    • But these two, I can't stop. I can't be stopped12:01
  12. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing MAC Cosmetics Lipglass Cushion at 12:10 in a YouTube Shorts video

  14. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Rapid Brow Eyebrow Enhancing Serum at 13:01 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have had to take those tinkle razors, those brow razors, and shave down the excess hair just so I could film a tutorial without looking like I need to pluck my eyebrows. Like, that's how much growth I've experienced12:50
    • It is shocking how much extra and new hair that I have in my extremely sparse brows13:01
    • This is outstanding. It's pretty affordable13:15
    • But I have seen tremendous brow growth from that13:31
  15. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Rhode Peptide Lip Boost at 13:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Rhode$23.00
    • This is one of my favorite products from the brand13:48
    • It's a plumping overnight lip mask and this I just go to town, man. I slather it on. I slather it and I slather it and it is so emollient and so nice13:53
    • It's very rich. It's way thicker than the typical Rhode tinted lip balms14:01
    • I will wake up, no joke, and this is still on my lips. Not all of it, but majority of it is still on my lips. So it doesn't just rub off and evaporate in the middle of the night, which I really, really enjoy for my lip products14:08
  16. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing Cassatt Encapsulated Retinal Balm at 15:01 in a YouTube Shorts video

    • I am a ride or die of this product16:16
    • The reason why I like this one so much is I'm oily and I wear a lot of makeup and this doesn't cause me to be shinier, greasier, and it doesn't disrupt my makeup16:24
    • It is a to me one of the most perfect under makeup sunscreens you could buy16:32

  24. @makeupbynikkilarose reviewing L'Oreal Paris Ever Pure Sulfate-Free Glossing 5 Minute Lamination Mask at 23:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is so good. This is amazing22:50
    • This has been a hair lifesaver. My hair is thin. It's fine, but it is really really dry at the moment23:06
    • Not only for the shine, but the texture of it. It's actually less tingly because it's glossed and obviously it makes my hair really shiny, but this is a miracle23:23

    • It's like super thin. I could still like run my fingers through it without getting tangles or getting caught24:15
    • It doesn't like laminate your hair or shellac it or make it feel like again like gritty and gross. It's very very lightweight24:21
    • but I can also use this at my roots as a substitute for dry shampoo24:29
    • When I do run out, I'm definitely gonna get the full size because this is so well done24:35
