  1. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rhode Pocket Bronzer at 02:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Rhode$25.00
    Pocket Bronzershade · Pebble
    • I really like the tone of Pebble. It's a nice kind of rosy bronze and it blends out beautifully2:06
    • It blends out really seamlessly with the brush. Super easy. It doesn't leave me with any weird patchiness. Like really beautiful2:27
    • I had high hopes for this and to me it's performing exactly how I expected it to perform. It's doing everything I wanted it to do2:32
    • So again, it gets a hell yeah for me
  2. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rhode Highlight Milk at 03:24 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Highlight Milkshade · 01 (lightest, Pink Tone)
    • Honestly, not a ton of shimmer. If you were worried these were going to be really, really shimmery, super glittery, that has not been my experience with this shade at all3:17
    • If anything, it's a very subtle kind of glow and sheen that comes from the actual pearly pigment. Genuinely, it's kind of hard to detect3:24
    • But I just think if you're interested in this product, maybe just go with the regular glazing milk3:14
    • So, I find this just kind of solid16:18
  3. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rhode Peptide Lip Tint at 04:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Peptide Lip Tintshade · Colada
    • And I have to say I'm so happy that this formula has changed. It's a little thicker to me. It's glossy. Still feels really hydrating. Just feels great on the lips. No grittiness at all4:23
    • Specifically, this color is a bronzy kind of shade and it does have some golden shimmer in it. It's very fine and not gritty on the lips. So, I love that4:33
    • Again, I'm really happy the shimmer is done well in here, cuz so many glittery or shimmery lip glosses, literally, you can feel every speck in there, and that's the worst5:00
    • I'm also going to put this one in solid more for the color than anything. If it was in a different shade that I really loved, this would be in the hell Yeah5:07
  4. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rhode Lip Shape at 05:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Rhode$24.00
    Peptide Lip Shapeshade · Squeeze
    • I was not the biggest fan of the lip shapes. I was excited for this launch when it came out last year, but in practice, I find these to be just a little messy almost in practice on my lips5:22
    • It's just not my favorite. I was hoping this would like bring me back and maybe get me into the lip shapes, but I'm still just kind of on the fence5:40
    • I think there are just better formulas out there, but if you already know you like the lip shapes, maybe these new colors would be good additions for you5:50
  5. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Olaplex No. 4 Bond Maintenance Shampoo at 07:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I especially love how rich the lather is on the shampoo. Even my husband mentioned it, so seriously, a little goes a long way. It's a very concentrated formula, and it cleans your hair without leaving it stripped6:46
    • I have been loving the results and how soft, shiny, and strong my hair feels7:06
    • If you want less breakage and more shine, I highly recommend the Olaplex Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner7:11
  6. no still
    Olaplex$34.00
    • When it comes to the conditioner, personally, since my hair is fine and thin, I like to keep it mostly toward the ends where I have the most damage so I can get the results without weighing down my roots
    • I have been loving the results and how soft, shiny, and strong my hair feels
    • If you want less breakage and more shine, I highly recommend the Olaplex Bond Maintenance Shampoo and Conditioner
  7. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Westman Atelier Suntone Bronzing Cream Duo at 08:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It is absolutely beautiful. I use this tone the most, but I feel like this just gives me a beautiful blended bronze look7:50
    • It's so seamless, so beautiful, sun-kissed, actually adds a little bit of sculpt as well. It's not too orange8:04
    • So, as much as this is a pricey product, really, really love it8:11
    • And as you blend them out, they kind of turn into a powder almost and they just look beautiful on the skin8:21
    • If you were thinking about this one, I do highly recommend it8:30
  8. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Summer Fridays Bronzer Butter Balm at 09:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • But I find actually blending out it doesn't stay nearly as like glossy and dewy and kind of thick and heavy. It's not tacky at all8:50
    • It can add a beautiful veil of that warmth and color to my face, but I don't love it for more of a sculpting look. Like, if I go that heavy with it, I just find it starts looking a little more orange than I want9:20
    • So, in some ways, way better than I thought. In other ways, there's better bronzers out there. So, I give this a solid9:35
  9. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing REFY Water Bronzer at 10:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    REFY$28.00
    Cream Bronzershade · Cove
    • And I really love more than anything probably about this is the tone of this bronzer. As you can tell, it's like liquidy, but I just love it. I think it's really really beautiful9:55
    • This is more for that model offduty kind of look. It's basically like bronzer drops in a cushion, which I really love because I find bronzer drops are just like not the easiest to use10:20
    • So, it gives a glow, but it's such a sheer beautiful tint on the skin. And it does dry down. It doesn't stay tacky10:38
    • I think this is great for like no makeup makeup look that just again model offduty sun-kissed glow10:45
    • If you like a full coverage look, I'm not sure if this kind of liquid formula is going to layer the best on top of that. So, more for a lighter base, but it looks stunning11:01
  10. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing REFY Water Blush at 11:32 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Water Blushshade · Apricot
    • Once again, this gives a beautiful like water color flush to the cheeks. So stunning11:25
    • And the pigment's pretty strong, at least on this color where I don't need a lot of it, and I can still get again that kind of model offduty no makeup makeup11:32
    • Like your makeup just looks good, but it still looks like skin11:37
    • Again, it's for the right person. And to me, it's a pretty dang good product. I like it
  11. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Powder Bronzer at 12:31 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I don't know if I just need more time or what because every time I use this, I sometimes really like it. Sometimes I think it's a little too warm12:13
    • It's a beautiful powder. It's very blendable12:31
    • Absolutely adore the packaging and I think a lot of people are going to like this12:43
    • But the more and more I use it, I actually feel like the more I'm confused on if I like this or not12:53
  12. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Single Eyeshadows at 13:44 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love these things. Okay, I think they deliver on everything you need13:18
    • These eyeshadows really are in the middle of luxury and like indie almost. Like there's some really fun colors, some really fun finishes. They're bright and they're a lot more pigmented than a lot of luxury eyeshadows13:44
    • The shimmer is a little bit finer instead of super chunky. So, it really falls right in between, which honestly is like my I love that14:08
    • This is so blurring on the lids. It's a really easy one and done eyeshadow look14:49
    • And the pigment is insane. It's so pretty. So thin though. The shift is there on this one15:06
    • The only one I wouldn't recommend is the green one. Cancelled. This is the most puttyike, the most cream like um out of all the shadows15:11
    • Overall though, I really love these eyeshadow singles from Marc Jacobs. and they're my favorite thing from the line so far
  13. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Volume Mascara at 16:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I've had no real issues with this. I think the packaging again is super cute15:53
    • I haven't had any smudging issues though with this16:07
    • It gives a more full volumized lash look. Like my lashes look fine. The more I use it, the more I like it16:12
    • But again, it's just kind of if it's for you, it's for you. If not, it's just kind of solid16:18
  14. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Joy Stick Blush at 16:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Joystick Blush Stickshade · Self-Centered
    • I just really love the tone of this, and sometimes when I put this on, it looks great16:37
    • I just have to be careful what I'm applying it over and how I'm applying it so that nothing picks up and I'm not like removing product underneath my cheeks16:49
    • So, it's going to give you that juicy pop on the cheeks, which some days I really love it, and some days I question17:15
  15. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Eyeliner at 17:36 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are pretty dang good, guys. These are pretty dang good17:30
    • I love this yellow. It's called Hot Take and it is so pigmented and beautiful17:36
    • It lasts all day, so it's not going to move around, but it still glides and is creamy, like easy to apply. Absolutely no complaints with the liners17:50
  16. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Gucci Flora Eyeshadow Palette at 18:47 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Outside packaging, absolutely stunning
    • These are the two sparkly shades and I got to say they're sparkle in more of a dry powdery way. Less intense than you would maybe expect, but they are more flattering18:14
    • This buffed all over my eyelid. One and done eyeshadow. It looks so good18:47
    • That being said, one shadow out of all of these is not enough to really make it worth it18:59
    • The mattes are really interesting. Very blendable. Like, they are very blendable. And so in that way they're very easy to use, but they also can just get a little I don't know if muddy is the right word19:24
    • So I don't think this is even available anymore. Again, it was limited. So if you didn't get your hands on this, I don't think you're missing out on anything19:50
  17. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing One/Size Oil Sucker Blotting Spray at 20:37 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • And it works, you guys. This freaking works. So, if that's what you're looking for, I do think this is a great product20:30
    • It will do what it says it's going to do20:37
    • The actual experience of using this is quite wet and spitty in a way. So, it's not this fine mist20:41
    • Maybe it wouldn't be an everyday product for me, but if you had an event or you were going to be out all day, I think this would be great20:55
    • I also do think this is like for touch-ups only. Like I would not after just doing my makeup set my face with this because after you spray this it is a bit of a film like a powdered film is now on your face21:19
    • If you have a lot of hair on your face, just want to warn you, you're spraying powder, okay, on your face21:52
  18. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing m.ph by Mary Phillips Le Skin Serum Foundation at 23:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It actually lays on my skin beautifully. It has pretty good coverage, too. It's like medium buildable23:06
    • I only need one pump to cover my whole face in a way that I think looks best where it still looks like skin. It doesn't look heavy, but it does have a glow to it, which looks really healthy and nice23:12
    • But I have oily skin, so it's just hard for this to last throughout the day23:24
    • It can emphasize a little bit of my pores and texture, but again, it feels like in a skin care way23:41
    • The real only negative for me on this one is that it smells like popcorn Fritos24:09
    • Overall, for the right person, it's solid. It's pretty dang good24:36
  19. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing REFY Skin Tint at 25:47 in a YouTube Shorts video
    REFY$41.00
    • This is best for like running errands, everyday makeup where you're not trying to look super glam, but you just want a little tiny lick of coverage25:28
    • And it does have a little bit of a glow, but it's a glow that is a little more dried down and feels and acts kind of how the glow in the Glow Recipe Dew drops is for me25:47
    • So, I find this wears well throughout the day26:02
    • And again, just for like easy no makeup makeup days when you want a little bit of coverage but not that much. That's what I love this for26:04
  20. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Balancing and Perfecting Foundation at 26:58 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This formula is actually more of like a satiny kind of blurred. I don't want to call it matte entirely, but it kind of dries down more in that demi matte kind of category, which I really love26:36
    • It has pretty good coverage as well, but it's nice and thin on my skin and spreads really, really well
    • I find that using the sponge gives me a really nice skin-like finish and gives me good coverage while also again really having it look like skin26:58
    • If you're looking for a true foundation that's not going to look heavy and want it to have that kind of demi matte look, this one's really great
    • If you liked the Makeup by Mario uh Surreal Skin foundation that came out, I think this is kind of in the vein of that. I think you would like this27:14
  21. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rare Beauty Natural Matte Foundation at 28:13 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's quite full coverage. It has some nice coverage on it. It's like a moussey consistency like a liquid mousse. And a little goes a long way
    • It almost has a blurring property to it as well. It gives that kind of demi matte mattified but blurred look27:55
    • But when I use the sponge I feel like it sucks whatever liquid is in this mousse foundation and it's just hard to blend28:13
    • The brush is the way to go for me
    • I just feel like this kind of sits on my skin though. It doesn't necessarily set in a way. But it's not bad28:30
    • And it just looks slash feels heavier than I want it to on my skin. But I like the finish. I like the coverage28:44
  22. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing About-Face Ballet Beam Highlighting Pearls at 29:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Ballet Beam Highlighting Pearlsshade · Pirouette, Arabesque
    • But overall, you just get a really beautiful pearly highlighting finish. Very, very pretty29:30
    • They're a little gimmicky, but gimmicky in a way that's just like fun and still works. It doesn't like hurt the product29:43
    • I do like the piouette shade, I think, is how you say that, over the arabesque shade29:55
    • Overall, when you blend it all together, if that's how you're going to use it, it's kind of this sun-kissed blushy bronzy look
  23. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Tatcha Milky Sunscreen SPF 50 at 30:54 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a really beautiful sunscreen. It's a thin serumy consistency30:36
    • Like it just feels like a nice kind of serum skin care like a drink of water30:54
    • So, if that is something you're looking for, like a cosmetically elegant sunscreen, this one is incredible. It is really good. I'm tempted to repurchase31:00
    • I just wish we could have this in a more matte look. That's the only thing I'm like the milky sunscreen. Let's do like the demi matte sunscreen
  24. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Dieux Air Angel Gel Cream at 31:50 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Dieux Air Angel is so good. Okay. This is the gel cream
    • This just feels cushiony as it goes on, which is so nice. Like, it's just the type of moisturizer I like31:43
    • So, I cannot wait to get another one of these. I will be definitely repurchasing31:50
    • It's like a perfect go-to moisturizer for me, honestly. Like, so beautiful32:02
    • If you're looking for a gel cream, like this is the one. If you're seeing an all around, there's a reason. And definitely get the blue one, Air Angel. Especially if you have oily skin32:05
  25. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Huda Beauty Easy Bake Intense Perfume at 33:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • That being said, with this perfume, I personally don't get the fishiness, but this has a chemiclininess or just like it's very perfumey in general32:48
    • Like this is a strong fragrance. It's going to last. You're going to make an impression33:05
    • It's not for me, but these are the notes. Cherry, white florals, cinnamon, caramel, milk, and vanilla33:15
    • And as this dries down, those come through and there's like this syrupiness to it. The cinnamon I can definitely smell33:21
    • It's very feminine and it almost has like a vintage quality to it with all perfumes33:30
    • I would give this one a sniff though. And definitely expect something strong, floral33:38
  26. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing VIOLETTE_FR Plume Eyeshadow at 35:29 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Plume Eyeshadowshade · Leo Cafe
    • This is a really easy everyday kind of look. Almost looks like bronzer on my eyes35:17
    • It also makes a great base35:29
    • It's very similar to the Marc Jacobs that came out. So, I feel like if you get one, maybe you don't need the other one. Like the colors look almost identical on me35:31
    • And if I had to pick, I actually might pick the Marc Jacobs just because I feel like that one's just slightly more silky than this. But still a great shadow35:37
  27. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing VIOLETTE_FR Plume Blush at 34:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Plume Blushshade · Enf (red)
    • And although it can look very intense, because it's that blurring, mattifying formula, you can really control this product34:16
    • And I think a red blush can look really fresh, really juicy, very summertime, and just kind of classic in a way and almost look like no makeup because I already flush red, so it's very natural34:22
    • If you like the Glossier blushes that came out like this or even the Rare Beauty, I think those are the most appropriate cuz this is like a harder putty34:37
    • Overall, it's like right between pretty dang good and solid34:55
  28. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Prada Touch Cream to Powder Color Cream Blush at 36:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Prada$42.00
    • And you know, the formula is fine on this one. I think it's nice. It is cream to powder. Truly a cream though. It's not quite a putty. It's a looser putty35:57
    • Very blurring though36:07
    • I like the packaging. I think it's cute. At the same time, I also hold at the same time one that this is just like a plastic cheapy little compact. There's something about it that like for Prada for Prada. I do want something a little nicer36:12
    • On top of it's a triangle pan, which is just kind of difficult to get your brush in36:44
  29. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Sarah Creal Coming in Hot Blurring Pressed-Mousse Blush at 37:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I really like this one from Sarah Creal. This is in the hell yeah category for me just with time37:18
    • I like the warmth that comes from this color. It looks kind of sun-kissed. Gives me a little bit of that sunburned sunswept terracotta look which I really love37:41
    • This has been incredible. I like to use a brush37:54
    • Like this is a no fuss, easy, beautiful, high-end look every single time38:03
    • And uh for $3 more dollars, I think this is like 45. I would go with the Sarah Creal over the Prada
  30. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Kosas Impressionist Cream Multistick at 39:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Impressionist Multistickshade · Ginger, Vital, Intuition, Nuance
    • These definitely are a little bit glossy, but they also are quite pigmented. So, a little goes a long way38:34
    • So, I feel like even if you do have oily skin, but you want that kind of juicy, glossy pop on the cheeks, you're going to get the color and get that finish with these without it being necessarily tacky, especially if you're using minimal product
    • These are definitely a better bet than the House Labs ones. If you were attracted to those, I would go with these39:06
    • The look I love the most with these, and it's kind of surprising, but I really like vital39:20
    • But, I think they're stunning still. I really do like these. I think they're going to work for so many people39:47
    • A very solid launch from Kosas
  31. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Shadow Sticks at 41:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stickshade · Oyster Twilight, Nude Sculpt
    • These are in the pretty dang good virgin on the hell yeah. Okay, virgin on the hell yeah. The more I use them, the more I really like them
    • These lock down on the lids. You also get some time though to blend them out, so you can get a really nice seamless look on the edges. They don't look heavy on the lids41:17
    • And I'm very happy also with Oyster Twilight that this shimmer doesn't have really big flexcks of glitter in it41:27
    • It looks really great blended out. And when I blend it out, it actually looks the most similar to Oyster Pearl on the lids41:56
    • It gives a really sultry kind of Hollywood glam, but not like heavy glam. And I think it looks stunning42:02
  32. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Bobbi Brown Crystal Eyeshadow Sticks at 43:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This thing is so sparkly. I don't think I can get across to you just how glitzy and glammy this is42:50
    • Specifically, Brilliant Pink has like pink sparkles and gold sparkles in it. And they're kind of different sizes as well. So, it's just a very fullon disco ball look on your eyes43:17
    • I mean, it almost comes across foiled, but then in the right light, like this light is going to make it look more metallic, but when you're just out, it's going to look like pieced out and sparkle and so so pretty43:25
    • And I love that it's a thin formula. Like it leaves a very thin feeling on your lids, which is great43:53
    • But with so much sparkle, they can look a little scaly. I'm just going to say it, okay?44:00
    • Sometimes I look at my eyelids and go, 'Yeah, yeah, it looks like I have glitter crusted eyelids right now44:20
  33. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix at 44:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Colorfix Stixshade · Love Story, Daydreaming
    • Probably my favorite of all these shimmery sparkly eyeshadows is the Danessa Myricks44:25
    • And these are not going to budge, okay? They are not going to budge. They're cooling as well when you put them on44:43
    • This looks very ethereal. I would say the Bobbi Brown is like a little bit of a heavier look. This is like glittery ethereal just stunning like cotton candy eyes44:53
    • The Danessa Myricks are the most flaky I would say out of everything. So, if you don't want a scaly look, really break down those shimmer particles in there45:30
    • Absolutely stunning. I really love this formula. Again, so long-wearing, so sparkly46:07
  34. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing ColourPop Jelly Much Shadow Sticks at 46:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    ColourPop$10.00
    Jelly Much Eyeshadow Stickshade · Hyped, Diamond Girl, Offline
    • And if you love those shadow sticks, but you want something at a better price point, I highly recommend these jelly mud shadows from ColourPop46:16
    • They are that same cooling jelly. Totally lock down, dry down formula46:34
    • This is hyped. I really love this one. It's kind of a taupey purpley shade. It's more transparent in the base though with like confetti glitter
    • I will say like if you're asking me, these look slightly cheaper. Slightly slight. I'm just going to say it46:50
    • But if you're like, I don't give a that much or I can't tell that much, these will do you. They will do you and they're going to look sparkly and incredible on your lids47:10
    • I also really love this one. This is Diamond Girl. The base is pretty transparent, but it's kind of blue pink shimmer. It's really pretty47:18
    • Honestly, this is a similarish formula, maybe a little more cooling than those ones, but these are pretty dang good47:34
  35. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Half Magic X Euphoria Palette at 48:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are all so pretty, very sparkly. They're a nice mix of for sure there, but they are slightly finer, and I like that
    • I think it just looks really beautiful on the eyes and gives you impact, but because it's not as chunky, it just looks slightly more refined and I really appreciate that48:01
    • I've been wearing Cassie a ton48:10
    • Anyway, you can use these as toppers. You can use these on their own. I just love this in terms of color and sparkle. This is the way I want it done48:31
    • It was a little bit expensive for it being cardboard and all that, but it is a collab and I am happy to have it48:40
  36. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Half Magic X Euphoria Glitter Puck at 49:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • And this is just straight up like shimmer. Like truly, if you're a shimmer addict, like a sparkle addict, like you need the you do need the Glitter Buck actually49:12
    • It dries down basically budge proof49:20
    • This one has like a pink, purple, blue kind of shift to it. I love this just all over the lid. It also makes a great topper49:24
    • It has that wet shine effect, like no base on it. So, it's just stunning49:31
    • Be careful with these. They come with this. Keep it in there, okay? Cuz it will dry out a little. And because it's just in glass, it can fall out. I've had this one fall out49:00
  37. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Givenchy Prism Libre Highlighter at 50:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Givenchy$64.00
    • Really beautiful highlighting powder. If you're still wearing the highlighters, you want something that's going to look silky and smooth, lots of shine, but no like glitter49:59
    • Something that still looks really refined, this is stunning50:10
    • I also like using this on my lids as well. Especially if I'm working out of a smaller makeup bag and I'm not trying to have a ton of stuff. It works really well for that50:11
    • It reminds me a lot of the Dior highlighters. I think I like those ones more, but it's very much up there50:24
    • It is very solidly in the pretty dang good category
  38. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Rare Beauty Brow Tint at 51:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • But with using this, I've realized, oh, it's like a tinted wax, which is beautiful50:52
    • This is that replacement. And I've been looking for that51:07
    • But I not only like this, I like love this. Hell yeah. I would repurchase. And I think this is going to be my new like staple brow product51:12
    • And again, it's very very sheer. So when I just run this through my brows, I barely get a tint51:19
    • But like I said, this is more like waxy, so it really coats the brow hairs and you can lay them in place, but it's not crispy and stiff51:30
    • If you like a liquid wax, if you like kind of soap brows or waxy brows, you're going to love this. It's so good50:44

    Phantom Blur Balmshade · Enigma
    • I think this works as a perfect one-and-one easy blurred lip look. So low maintenance and I love the pigment on this cuz it really blurs out52:23
    • Oh, it's perfect. It's going to look good with like a lighter face of makeup, which I love cuz that's something I'm wearing a lot day-to-day52:32
    • Just beautiful, especially if you like that blurred velvet lip look52:41
  40. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing Merit Lip Blush at 52:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Merit$28.00
    • I'm telling you, same thing going on. I have this shade here, Venom, and it's a little bit more warm, but again, very, very similar52:47
    • The pigment doesn't blend out quite the same way. And I would say that this one isn't as balmy feeling on the lips. Like it's not as thick as the Hourglass, but it's going to give you a very similar effect52:53
    • And both of these for me are hell yeah. I just think they're such easy wear everyday products that you can throw on your lips. Look finished, but it's not fussy, easy to touch up, like very, very good53:05
  41. @laurenmaebeauty reviewing House Labs Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer at 54:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Atomic Shake Lip Lacquershade · Lightest Shade (peachy Pink)
    • And I had tried the old formula. I didn't love it. It wasn't working for me. This does work54:03
    • And when I put this on, the best way I can describe it because of the color, it looks like I have like almost like cellophane lips in a way. Like they're glossy and glowy in this very neutral like skin care kind of way. I kind of love the look to be honest54:05
    • These dry down and they stay a little tacky. I will say it's not the worst that I've ever felt with something like this54:27
    • But I find the longer I have my lips together, the more stuck together they will be54:44
    • And it almost emits this um like oil on top of that. So again, it stays shiny and that shine's going to be there no matter if you try to wipe it off55:17
    • But there's something about this on almost like bare skin or a very very light face that I kind of love55:34
    • I do think it's an improved formula. Also with this once it dries down it is staying around. So if you want to remove it you do need an oil cleanser55:50
