  1. @jenphelps reviewing Rare Beauty Brow Gel at 01:36 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is the only brow gel that keeps my brows locked in place all day1:19
    • I feel like this does the best job1:36
    • This is my second tube of it now1:38
  2. @jenphelps reviewing NYX Lift & Snatch Brow Pen at 01:52 in a YouTube Shorts video
    NYX$13.00
    • I definitely converted over to pens as soon as I tried this one. And I really haven't used a brow pencil since1:43
    • I love the really realistic look that pens give you1:52
    • This one also stays in place all day1:55
    • It's just really easy, very quick2:05
  3. @jenphelps reviewing CoverGirl Simply Ageless Essence Foundation at 02:52 in a YouTube Shorts video
    CoverGirl$21.49
    • I know a lot of people hate this, and I don't get it. I love this so much2:23
    • This one kind of has this like refreshing watery serum like texture. It feels like skin care
    • It doesn't have the best coverage in the world, but usually I'll put this on and then just spot conceal where I need to2:52
    • I just love how thin it is. It's not one of those foundations that's thick or heavy3:05
    • It just sinks right in and adds just the tiniest little bit of glow, but it's not dewy or greasy3:15
    • One thing I would recommend though is going up a shade3:24
    • I wear this in light medium, which with any other foundation would be way too dark for me, but this actually is like the perfect match for my skin3:27
  4. @jenphelps reviewing NYX Fix Stick at 04:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    NYX$10.00
    • I can't believe I'm even saying that because stick concealers historically have not been my favorite just because they're often very thick and heavy. But, this one is just so lightweight4:12
    • I love the stick because it just makes it like super quick and easy4:22
    • It's very smoothing. It's really thin. It looks really natural on me4:30
    • It doesn't crease because it's not overly greasy or emollient4:36
    • Yet at the same time, it's not too drying for my really dry skin4:42
    • I have it in the shade light, but I also have the pink one, which is more of a color corrector. That one is great for under your eyes4:49
  5. @jenphelps reviewing L'Oreal Paris Infallible Blurfection Powder at 05:51 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I don't know that it's necessarily the best at like soaking up oil if you have oily skin5:38
    • I kind of use it as a finishing powder. Just something to take that layer of shine away and blur out everything5:51
    • It just makes my skin look poreless, flawless5:57
    • It's like the ultimate powder if you're afraid of powder and you don't want your skin to look really dry5:59
    • It's pretty much invisible. Like if I look even really up close at my skin in the mirror, I cannot tell that I'm wearing powder at all6:03
    • I feel like this just makes my skin look even better than it does without it6:15
    • If you have drier or more mature skin and you don't like the look of powder, try this one out. I think you'll be really surprised. It was a game changer for me6:21
  6. @jenphelps reviewing Viseart Paris Reveries Palette at 06:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is my number one palette6:37
    • I took this with me on vacations. This has basically just been sitting on my bathroom counter for the entire summer. I wear this palette so often6:40
    • It has those really pretty cool kind of gray and purple shades, but it also has some warm tones in it, too6:52
    • It's just really versatile7:10
    • Viseart's formula is my favorite. It is just so good7:13
    • The shimmer shades have this beautiful metallic sheen with maybe just the slightest hint of little micro glitters, but it's not like the chunky over-the-top glitter7:16
    • The mattes are just so smooth
    • They still pop on your eyes. They still look really shiny and beautiful7:39
  7. @jenphelps reviewing Fenty Beauty Shadow Stix at 08:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • There were times this summer when this was the only thing I wore on my eyes for a week straight7:54
    • This color in particular is just so beautiful. It's really shiny. Again, it gives you that foiled effect. It's the perfect lid color8:04
    • It's so smooth and easy to apply8:17
    • I think this is the perfect in between where it's creamy enough that you can blend it easily, but then it sets down and it lasts for the day8:29
    • This taupe color in particular is very neutral. It kind of goes with everything8:38
    • I feel like no matter what you're wearing, you could put this on your eyes and it'll match
    • It's just like that really lazy girl makeup9:06
  8. no still
    Moira$8.78
    • I wouldn't say the Moira one fades super fast either. It has a decent wear time
    • I like the Moira one cuz it has more of the brush tip
  9. @jenphelps reviewing Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner at 09:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Stila$24.00
    • I do think the Stila one is much longer lasting on my eyes9:30
    • The Stila one definitely does last for the day9:40
    • I had to get used to this one because I usually only use brush tips. I just find them to be a little easier for me9:47
  10. @jenphelps reviewing Persona Cosmetics Tubing Mascara at 10:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I've been wearing this one from Persona every single day since I got it, and that was probably a month ago now11:00
    • This Persona one though is gorgeous. I love how big it makes my lashes10:33
    • I've been using it for about a month and it hasn't gotten clumpy on me at all10:41
    • It has a nice small brush. It's a little bit curved10:46
    • You can put it on your bottom lashes and it's not going to smudge because it's tubing10:54
    • This one you kind of do. It's thinner coats, but if you build it, you can get a ton of length and volume11:16
  11. @jenphelps reviewing Makeup Revolution Lash Wrap Tubing Mascara at 14:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a great tubing formula, too, but it ended up getting super clumpy. Like, the more I used it, it got kind of hard to control9:47
    • I had to always wipe off the brush before I put it on. I do still think it's a good option. It's just a little bit finicky now14:10
    • If you're on a budget, I do really enjoy the wrap lash
    • If you're after more volume and length, I would go with the wrap lash. This one just comes out like very strong. It puts a thick coat on your lashes right away
  12. @jenphelps reviewing NYX Glitter Glue at 11:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    NYX$9.00
    • I've been using that for years and years, so it kind of goes without saying11:39
  13. @jenphelps reviewing Morphe Solo Artist Cream Eyeshadow at 12:08 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's pretty much a MAC painterly paint pot dupe11:53
    • I feel like there's really no difference between this and the MAC Paint Pot12:08
    • I honestly don't see myself going out and buying the MAC one again. I think it's like 25 bucks. This one is a lot cheaper12:14
    • They cover everything on your lids. They even out your skin tone and they dry pretty quickly, so you can blend eyeshadow on top of them with no issues12:22
  14. @jenphelps reviewing e.l.f. Cosmetics Liquid Lip and Cheek Stain at 13:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This color is so pretty. It's sort of like um Clinique's Black Honey on your lips. It just gives the prettiest plummy stain12:55
    • It's kind of like um Benefit's Benitint, but it just sinks in and makes this stain that lasts the entire day13:07
    • It's not sticky. It's not the kind of cream blush that is just going to sit on top of your skin13:18
    • It's so thin. It's like water. So, it just sinks right in and disappears13:26
    • Honestly, it's not the kind of lip stain that sucks all the moisture out of your lips13:53
    • This one's probably my favorite and the one that I wear the most14:15
  15. @jenphelps reviewing ColourPop Hydra Pop Glossy Stain at 14:36 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • They remind me a lot of these Kofi lip stain oils. They're very, very similar14:29
    • They go on with a little bit of gloss to them. Not a lot, but just enough. They almost look um kind of dewy on your lips14:36
    • While these do stay a little bit dewy compared to the E.L.F., they do dry down eventually, like after maybe half an hour or so of wearing them, and they never really feel sticky14:53
    • These are really fun because they add that moisture and the hydration into your lips. You don't even need to apply a lip balm on top15:11
    • They just leave a really pretty stain behind15:21
    • I constantly see these Kofi lip stains advertised all the time, and they're always sold out. Plus, they're expensive. But this is basically the same thing15:42
    • I really love these. I think they're great15:54
  16. @jenphelps reviewing NYX Smushy Matte Lip Balm at 16:09 in a YouTube Shorts video
    NYX$9.00
    • These two kind of give you a little bit of a stain, but they're a lip balm and they're also matte16:04
    • They have a little bit of hydration, but they're not glossy. You put them on and they just kind of feel really smooth and silky16:09
    • When you put these on your cheeks, they actually blur your skin. Like they're a beautiful kind of blurring blush, similar to the Huda Beauty ones, but way cheaper16:16
    • I think this formula is fantastic16:32
    • Even though they're technically a lip product, you can use them on your cheeks and they work beautifully for that16:44
  17. @jenphelps reviewing Prequel Gleanser at 17:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Prequel$17.99
    • It has glycerin in it and it is so like cushiony and soft. It takes off all my makeup17:11
    • It's really super gentle in the morning, too. So, I use this night and day17:17
    • This one just the texture is so nice. I really enjoy it a lot17:35
    • The bottle is huge. You get so much product in here17:40
    • You only need the tiniest little P-siz amount. It covers your whole face17:46
  18. @jenphelps reviewing Prequel Multi-Quench Plumping Hydration Serum at 18:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Prequel$27.99
    • This has um PGA complex. It has 10% glycerin. It's just a really great first step after cleansing18:02
    • I use this every single day, two times a day18:12
    • It's just a really good like quenching hydration serum to put on18:17
  19. @jenphelps reviewing Naturium Retinaldehyde Creamy Serum at 18:35 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Naturium$28.99
    • I love this one because I see results with it, but it's not too harsh18:30
    • I have never once had any like of those bad retinol side effects that I usually get with other retinol products with this18:35
    • I repurchased just because I really love it and I've actually been seeing great results with it18:46
    • If you have issues tolerating retinol, give this one a try because I had the worst luck. My skin was so sensitive when I used retinol in the past and I would have peeling18:54
    • I've never had an issue with this one at all19:04
  20. @jenphelps reviewing Prequel Half & Half Peptides and Ceramides Fluid Moisturizer at 19:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Technically this is kind of like half a moisturizer half milky toner
    • If you have oily skin, you can actually use this as a moisturizer because it is super hydrating, but if you're more dry, you might want to put a different moisturizer on top19:38
    • I just use this as another layer. I love to layer my skin care19:49
    • I find that it saturates your skin and it just holds on to the moisture so much longer and I don't get dry throughout the day20:02
  21. @jenphelps reviewing Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream at 20:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I just can't let go of this. I still have not found any moisturizer that I like more than this one20:16
    • It's just so beautiful, so hydrating. Nothing plumps my skin like this20:20
    • It's very expensive, but worth it
    • I normally buy it on Black Friday because you can get some really great deals20:28
    • It's been years that I've been using this, and I just haven't found anything that I like better21:09
    • Even though I've tried K beauty moisturizers and I've tried other ones at the drugstore, there are others that I like, but I just keep going back to this one. It's so so good21:10
  22. @jenphelps reviewing eos Vanilla Cashmere Body Wash at 21:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Shea Better Cashmere Body Washshade · Vanilla Cashmere
    • This is so delicious. It just smells really, really good21:37
    • It's that like vanilla kind of shea butter. Really warm, rich scent21:40
    • It's a great drugstore option21:47
  23. @jenphelps reviewing Kopari Beauty Shower Oil at 22:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's like coconut and it smells so good. It's very beachy22:11
    • I love shower oils again with dry skin. I just find that they're a little more hydrating than body washes22:22
  24. @jenphelps reviewing Sol de Janeiro Shower Oil at 16:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Sol de Janeiro has their shower oil in the 59 fragrance which is one of my favorite scents from them
    • I love shower oils again with dry skin. I just find that they're a little more hydrating than body washes16:06
  25. @jenphelps reviewing eos Vanilla Cashmere Body Lotion at 22:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    eos$9.99
    Shea Better Body Lotionshade · Vanilla Cashmere
    • If I use the body wash that day, I'll just layer it with this. And I don't even need perfume. The scent is really strong22:39
    • Whenever I wear this, people are like, 'Oh my gosh, I love your perfume. What are you wearing?'22:48
    • You can definitely smell these on people23:00
  26. @jenphelps reviewing Lalicious The Oil at 23:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The scent is so beautiful. Again, it's kind of a mix of coconut and vanilla, but it has a little bit of musk under it, too23:11
    • It's just one of those beautiful skin scents that's just a little bit more sweet and a little tropical, but it's heavenly23:18
    • I went out to lunch with my parents a couple weeks ago and I got in the car and as soon as I did, my mom was like, 'Oh, you smell so delicious.'23:24
    • It's very strong. So you really don't need to wear perfume if you're wearing something like this23:33
  27. @jenphelps reviewing Prequel Urea Advanced Relief 10% Moisturizing Milk at 23:54 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one has the urea in it to exfoliate your skin. It gets rid of those like chicken skin bumps on the backs of your arms and your legs23:49
    • This makes your skin feel so much smoother. I noticed a huge difference even just the first time I used it23:54
    • I just kept touching my arms. I was like, 'Man, why does my skin feel so soft?' It really does an incredible job at smoothing24:04
    • I used to use Mlactin, which is also an exfoliating body lotion. It works really well, but I find that my skin just feels softer and smoother with this24:21
    • Whatever the combination of ingredients is, this just feels like it's more effective to me24:29
    • I picked this up at Target. It wasn't super expensive
    • If you're looking for a good exfoliating body lotion, this is amazing24:26
  28. @jenphelps reviewing KAYALI Yum Boujee Marshmallow at 25:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    KAYALI$150.00
    • This smells delicious. It has the marshmallow. It has vanilla25:00
    • This gives you that. It gives you the sweetness and the vanilla, but it's not heavy25:16
    • I think the strawberry that's in here kind of makes this a little bit lighter and fresher. It gives it that fruity element25:24
    • It at least gets a three-year-old stamp of approval25:56
    • I really enjoy this one over all of the other perfumes. I've been reaching for this the most
  29. @jenphelps reviewing Suave Moroccan Oil Infusion Shampoo and Conditioner at 26:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The first time I used this, I could not believe how much it smells like Moroccan Oil26:18
    • They basically ripped off the exact same scent. It smelled identical to it26:27
    • If you love that Moroccan oil scent, but you don't want to spend all the money on the real thing, this is definitely something to check out26:33
    • I just feel like they make my hair feel really healthy, really shiny, and smooth26:47
  30. @jenphelps reviewing Moroccanoil Frizz Shield Spray at 27:14 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's kind of like um the ColorWow dream coat. Same kind of concept, but actually I was talking to my hair stylist and she told me that she likes this better than that. And I agree27:01
    • You just spray it on before blow drying and then the heat of the dryer kind of seals it down and it keeps your hair frizz-free27:14
    • I have noticed such a big difference27:21
    • Normally when I go on like my beach vacations and things like that, my hair gets extra frizzy. And ever since I've been using this, it actually looks pretty good
    • This is one of those things I found is worth the money because I haven't found a drugstore alternative for something like this yet27:35
  31. @jenphelps reviewing K18 Hair Repair Oil at 28:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    K18$65.00
    • K18 in general is great for your hair. If it's damaged, it helps to rebuild those bonds27:49
    • Today, I just put it on as kind of like a finisher and it just kind of smooths everything out without weighing it down28:00
    • My hair still has bounce and it doesn't make it greasy28:07
