  1. abbeyyung mentioning e.l.f. Cosmetics Power Grip Matte Primer at 00:52 in their YouTube video
    • With this primer, that does not happen1:31
    • This is definitely not the most cosmetically elegant primer I've ever tried1:33
    • It's thick. It's stiff. It's tacky1:46
    • It's really similar to the original Power Grip Primer that does not have a mattifying effect1:48
    • Not only is this something that plays really nicely with makeup I layer on top of it without causing streaking or peeling, it's also something that really helps with all day makeup wear and preventing my skin from looking oily2:01
    • If there's a foundation that I really love the look of and love everything about except for how oily my skin looks wearing it at the end of the day, then I can just layer this underneath it before I apply that foundation and it will prevent that from happening2:09
    • If you deal with similar issues and are looking for a drugstore solution, I highly recommend this one2:26
  2. abbeyyung mentioning Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Liquid Blurring Balm at 02:51 in their YouTube video
    • This is absolutely incredible
    • It helps me in the exact same way as the E.L.F. Power Grip Matte Primer, but honestly, even more so because the more of this you spray, the more matte your skin becomes2:44
    • This immediately mattifies the look of anything you have on your skin, even if it's just skin care or sunscreen, a tinted sunscreen2:51
    • On skincare only days, there are so many sunscreens I love that are just so glowy that with my level of oil end up looking too greasy unless I wear this3:03
    • You can also use it on top of makeup as a makeup setting spray that will not only help your makeup to last and look fresh all day long, but also prevent you from looking greasy3:14
    • It's so impressive
    • Has the potential to be so powerful
    • If you want it to be like, if you want to look so matte all day long, you can get that with this. Or you can keep it a little bit more natural3:27
    • My mom was actually even texting me like, 'I wonder if I could use this in place of a setting powder.' And I feel like it would be really great for that3:34
    • It's just a beautiful product that works so amazingly well3:39
    • It was like an instant top 10 for me3:41
    • I loved it right away3:51
  3. abbeyyung mentioning Benefit Cosmetics Porefessional Foundation at 04:13 in their YouTube video
    • This is one of those rare foundations that has a skin perfecting quality to it where it just kind of like blurs and just really makes your skin look nice without looking heavy or too intensely full coverage3:55
    • It is buildable up to, I would say, medium/full coverage, but it's not full full4:05
    • You can also shear it out to just be more medium in coverage with a natural matte finish4:11
    • I just think it looks absolutely beautiful4:15
    • It wears so well4:17
    • It is one of those rare foundations that doesn't look too greasy on me4:19
    • I definitely look glowier by the end of the day, but I don't have to use a mattifying primer or setting spray in order for this to work4:22
    • The glow at the end of the day actually looks really nice4:29
    • Ever since then it's definitely the complexion product I've reached for the most4:34
    • I feel like I'm gonna empty this any day now, which is going to be like the fastest I've emptied a complexion product in a really long time4:38
    • It really is just that good. I highly recommend it4:45
  4. abbeyyung mentioning ciele Conceal and Protect SPF 50 Concealer at 05:17 in their YouTube video
    Ciele$36.00
    • Has not replaced Tarte Creaseless Creamy for my favorite under eye concealer, but has become my favorite spot concealer4:52
    • When I'm trying to cover up a spot, a post acne mark, an active breakout, I want as much coverage as I can get, and this Ciele concealer is amazing for that5:04
    • I love that I'm able to use just a little bit of this while still getting a lot of coverage because that's ideally what you want in spot concealing5:11
    • This is definitely on the thicker, creamier side5:23
    • It holds up great
    • It's just again a bit too full coverage for my preference for under eyes, but not for spots. Perfect for spots6:00
  5. abbeyyung mentioning Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Powder at 05:49 in their YouTube video
    • That has definitely been a favorite of mine for covering up breakouts for a while because there's something blurring about it and it gives you a little bit more coverage and it works beautifully with the Ciele concealer5:38
  6. abbeyyung mentioning Lunar Beauty Outer Dimension Bronzing and Sculpting Stick at 06:24 in their YouTube video
    • I was not expecting to become such a fast favorite of mine6:13
    • I think that this officially beats Nudestix for me6:24
    • I really haven't reached for Nudestix since I tested this out, except for to directly compare them6:25
    • This is definitely more slippy and more creamy, which I find just makes it more even and seamless to blend6:33
    • The glide on my face with this is unlike anything I've tried truly6:43
    • It has the perfect amount of pigment6:53
    • It lasts all day long6:56
    • I do feel like I get slightly better wear with this than I did Nudestix6:56
    • I am saying that as someone with oily skin who often struggles to find cream complexion products that work with their oily skin7:09
    • The fact that this performs that well for me across the board is truly impressive7:32
  7. abbeyyung mentioning L'Oréal Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick at 07:53 in their YouTube video
    • I absolutely love a sheer glossy highlight7:46
    • I really can't stand a super powdery looking highlight. I especially can't stand a glittery highlight7:50
    • If you make sure to get the L'Oréal Glass Stick and not the L'Oréal Glow Stick, cuz they are two different things7:58
    • The base is completely sheer, so you get that like sheer tint of color8:03
    • My personal favorite shade is glassy pearl. It just works really well with my skin tone, and it just looks super juicy and glassy on the skin8:07
    • It doesn't disrupt my makeup if I just tap it on with my finger and it lasts all day long8:14
    • This really does for me exactly what the RMS luminizers do8:20
    • I love that this gives us that exact same kind of effect in a much more affordable format8:28
  8. abbeyyung mentioning One/Size By Beauty Bay Silk Cellulose Airbrushed Powder at 08:43 in their YouTube video
    • For a baked powder this does not feel dry at all. It's very soft and silky8:36
    • What I love most about it is that it softly blurs my skin for a bit of an airbrushed finish8:40
    • I just feel like there's something skin perfecting about this8:50
    • I love the way it lays on top of makeup8:54
    • It wears great all day long
    • It's not the kind of powder that gives me all day like intense mattifying oil control. But in saying that, I don't look greasy with this8:57
    • It really is just a beautiful powder that I think would work well for a lot of different skin types9:03
    • I've been wearing it with that Benefit Porefessional Foundation non-stop9:08
    • Their lightest shade, fair, which is this one right here, is not light enough at all9:13
    • I'm really hoping they come out with a shade expansion in the future because this is one of the most beautiful setting powders I've tried in a really long time9:18
  9. abbeyyung mentioning NYX Blade and Shade Nano Brow Mechanical Pencil at 09:37 in their YouTube video
    NYX$12.00
    • Everything is too dark, too intense, too cool toned. This is perfect9:47
    • I have the shade ash blonde, which they actually describe as a cool toned blonde, but I feel is a perfect neutral blonde9:50
    • I not only love it for that reason, but also because it truly is the teeniest tiniest pencil I have ever found at the drugstore10:07
    • I just find that a really teeny pencil like this allows me to get a more natural brow look10:21
    • I feel like it's easy to overdo it when the actual pencil itself is really thick. This prevents that for sure10:28
    • I am super excited to finally have a drugstore brow product that I really love and can highly recommend10:34
  10. abbeyyung mentioning L'Oréal Paris Paradise Big Deal Volumizing and Lengthening Washable Mascara at 11:28 in their YouTube video
    Paradise Big Deal Mascarashade · Waterproof
    • I know that this is my most emptied mascara this year10:49
    • I've gone through so many tubes cuz I love it so much10:51
    • It works great right away right out of the tube11:28
    • It gives me an option for a bit more of a natural mascara than my all-time favorite from the drugstore, Maybelline Lash Sensational11:40
    • This one from L'Oréal is a bit more natural looking, a bit more wispy11:49
    • It has great length11:53
    • It is a little bit thinner, but it's not too thin to where it looks spidery or anything like that11:55
    • It's just the perfect more natural looking mascara12:00
    • I love it by itself, but I also love pairing it with Maybelline Lash Sensational12:02
    • I feel like the two play really well together and just give me the perfect lifted, lengthened voluminous look12:06
    • Highly recommend if you are looking for a more natural looking lash from the drugstore12:13
  11. abbeyyung mentioning Neutrogena Tinted Lip Oil at 12:55 in their YouTube video
    • Neutrogena came out with a tinted version, several tinted versions of their lip oil12:37
    • This is my favorite lip oil from the drugstore12:44
    • I just absolutely love the texture. It's soft. It's creamy. It's dreamy. It's like a liquid lip mask12:50
    • When I saw that they were coming out with it in five tinted shades, I got so excited12:56
    • The shades are so pretty13:00
    • I absolutely love that they're sheer. They give you that pop of color without it being too intense13:02
    • Most of them are pretty bright and vibrant and like not shades I would normally pick up if it were not for the fact that they're sheer13:08
    • I just think that that combined with the shine, it's so pretty13:15
    • I still hope that they expand the shade range in the future cuz I would love to see more pinks, more mauves, more nudes13:18
    • I want this in 100 different shades now13:26
