  1. @babsbeauty reviewing EltaMD UV Skin Recovery Red Color Correcting SPF 50 at 01:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    EltaMDsponsored$52.00
    • I am happy to report that this is beautiful, especially if you have sensitive skin or rosacea like I do0:41
    • I love the feel of this. It is so lightweight and it has this nice green tint that isn't too much1:53
    • It is hydrating, but it's not greasy and it has such a thin feel. So, it truly layers under my makeup no problem2:14
    • It lasts all day. It doesn't break my makeup apart. It doesn't make me more greasy and it's not drying2:22
    • It's just perfect to protect and strengthen especially the most sensitive skin types, which would be me2:35
    • It just takes the edge off of my redness and I feel more confident without makeup2:11
    • It is proven to support skin barrier repair and reduce visible redness by 52%3:10
    • Their formulas are incredible. They have so many different options to choose from and they work3:23
    • If you have sensitive skin, you have redness, very similar wants to me, you will absolutely love this color correcting version
    • I'm telling you they're game changers31:55
  2. @babsbeauty reviewing MAKE UP FOR EVER Balancing & Perfecting Foundation at 04:31 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a beautiful formula. I'm wearing it right now. It has a beautiful medium buildable coverage4:23
    • It is so smoothing and perfecting. It wears all day4:31
    • It is not greasy, but it's not dry, and works so well, I would say on pretty much any skin type, but it just wears all day4:34
    • It feels weightless. It's not heavy, sticky. It blends so nicely with all of my other products4:43
    • It's just a really solid formula. So, they did a fabulous job. I just can't say enough good things about this4:48
    • the Make Up For Ever is just so thin and just blends into this like creamy nothingness4:20
    • I just prefer the skin-like finish of the Makeup Forever6:25
  3. @babsbeauty reviewing NYX Make 'em Wonder Soft Matte Buildable Foundation at 06:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I like this. I think it's a good option if you are looking for something at the drugstore5:08
    • This has a good medium buildable coverage. I feel like you can get a lot of coverage from this
    • It is a little bit heavier than I would like. It's not heavy heavy, but just comparing the texture to the Make Up For Ever
    • It's just not going to do any smoothing, which is something that I prefer6:15
    • It does last a good amount of time, and it has a little bit more of like a dry, matte feel6:17
    • The big deal breaker for me in not wanting to reach for the NYX every single day is the fact that it just doesn't perfect my imperfections6:30
    • I think it's a solid formula. I don't dislike it, but it's not like, 'Wow.' It's kind of like good, but not great for me6:37
  4. @babsbeauty reviewing NYX Wonder Snatch Concealer at 07:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It does have this really, really thin texture. Very, very, very thin, lightweight6:54
    • As you blend it out, it does get kind of stiff where it kind of sets down, almost like a self-setting formula7:04
    • So, it can really cling to make any fine lines, any flakiness, any dryness look enhanced. That's really my issue with this7:13
    • It just really clings, and I just can't have a concealer that gives me almost like that chalky finish7:34
    • If you are someone that does not like to use powder and you prefer like a self-setting formula and you don't have issues with like dry under eye, I think that this may work for you because it really does look nice and smooth7:45
    • It gives a nice coverage, but the clinging to dryness is just something that I can't get on with because my under eyes are chronically dry7:58
    • Something that gives me that smooth look, but also some hydration and this just missed the mark for me8:08
  5. @babsbeauty reviewing Natasha Denona HY-GLAM Setting Powder at 09:03 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I do not agree that it is blurring. I need a powder that is going to blur the skin, perfect the skin8:42
    • This is almost texture enhancing in my opinion. It looks worse9:03
    • I did not like the way that my skin looked. It almost looked like heavy and sank into my pores9:12
    • It was a little bit less texturizing, but it still just added unwanted texture to my base that was smoother before9:24
    • I do think that this has some waterproof or sweatproof capabilities because as I was testing it, I would use it on my forehead again with a fluffy brush and I do think it does help with keeping your makeup intact if you're going to be, you know, in the water or sweating9:36
    • I am just not willing to use something that kind of makes me look drier and more textured even if it does have the sweatproof and the waterproof bonus9:57
    • So, this is just a pass for me because my skin is just not smooth and perfected enough to get on with this. Just a miss for me personally10:14
  6. @babsbeauty reviewing Morphe Loose Powder Quad at 10:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Bake & Set Loose Powder Quadshade · Bright Balance
    • I just feel like it's not really user friendly. It does have a sifter inside, so you can only use like one color at once10:30
    • I would rather them just sell different colors individually because the odds of somebody needing all of these different colors for correcting, especially in a powder, I just don't see it being that useful10:40
    • When you try to use any of these on your under eye, I again just felt like it looked quite dry. I didn't think it was the most smoothing. It added just like texture or that powdery look
    • I just don't think this is something that I would recommend. I don't think that it stands out at all and I think again it's kind of more of a gimmicky product11:24
    • Just not something that wowed me in any capacity11:33
  7. @babsbeauty reviewing Sarah Creal Cream Bronzer at 12:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a thinner formula. It's more of a hard pressed until you really work your finger in and then it has this like balmy feel to it11:48
    • I actually find that it layers perfectly under my powder and I like that it's more of a buildable formula12:05
    • It's more of an everyday type of bronzer12:12
    • I also really like and appreciate this color because it is more of a cool tone. So, it gives me structure and like contour and sculpts the face, but it's not the typical orange Cheeto bronzers that we're seeing12:19
    • I love how versatile it is because you can build it up and make it more full glam like I did today, but really you could just do a light layer and get that nice like sculpted look without going into the orange category12:30
    • The fact that it layers really well with powder is a standout for me personally and I judged it too soon just because it does have that like dewy feel to it
    • So, happy to say that I really do like this12:47
  8. @babsbeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Legally Bronze Bronzer at 13:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The old Marc Jacobs bronzer was incredible. It was top tier, one of my holy grails. This is good, but I don't believe that it is the same13:22
    • I found this to be very, very thin, and it's hard-pressed. So, it's not something that, you know, powder's flying all over. It is very creamy, though13:49
    • It is definitely a creamy feel that blends out, and it does build quite nicely. The color is nice, but again, there's just something about it that isn't wowing me14:00
    • I think if you purchased it, you would like it, but I don't think that it's life-changing or a tone or finish that is, you know, extraordinary and a game-changer14:14
    • I do think it blends really nice, but it's just not wowing me like I thought it would14:34
    • I don't think you'd be disappointed, but it's not going to replace any of my like top-tier bronzers14:49
  9. @babsbeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Joystick Blush at 15:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Joystick Blush Stickshade · Hot Flush 110
    • I was really excited for this because I thought the shades were so beautiful, and I still believe that there are so many different colors that are quite fun and really bright15:09
    • The packaging feels a little cheap and lightweight, but it doesn't bother me really15:19
    • Pigmentation is really nice. I found it to be more buildable, which again, I like because I don't want to be overwhelmed or feel like I can't blend it out15:29
    • The thing I don't love about this that keeps me from really being wowed by it is that stickiness15:37
    • When you blend it out, even if it is like all the way diffused, there's a slight tack to it that I find to be problematic when you start layering products on top, when you start powdering15:48
    • I was able to set it and not get lifting and patching, but I have to be really careful, and that to me is just annoying16:09
    • I also found that the longevity wasn't the best16:41
    • So, I actually did return the other shade that I purchased because I just don't see myself reaching for this formula over all the other ones that I love. So, this was a little bit of a disappointment16:45
  10. @babsbeauty reviewing Kosas Multi Stick Blush at 17:37 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Impressionist Multistickshade · Intuition
    • My favorite has to be intuition, which is the one that I'm wearing today. And I would have never chosen this color for myself, but it is so beautiful17:20
    • It's like this your cheeks but better light almost cool-toned vibe
    • These are that really nice dewy feel, but there's no stick to them. So, they layer under powder so easily. There's no patching, no lifting17:37
    • The longevity is great on these. So, I absolutely love this formula17:48
    • My only complaint would be that a lot of the colors run, I would say, brown. And that's something to note17:51
    • I found that there's just not enough variation in the colors18:02
    • I think the formula is fabulous, and I'm happy to report that. I absolutely love the formula18:27
    • If there's a shade or a couple shades that you like, I think you would really like these. They're just beautiful and very easy to use18:31
  11. @babsbeauty reviewing Patrick Ta Liquid Transition Blush at 19:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Liquid Transition Brightening Blushshade · Between Us / Shy at First / Did You Notice?
    • I ended up buying three of these, and I have to tell you that I really love these20:10
    • I add this on top of my blush, and it just gives me a little bit of like that baby doll look
    • because this color is a little bit more, you know, wow, it does show up for me quite pigmented even though it's more of like a sheer formula19:17
    • if you have like tan, deep, or really anything deeper than a medium skin tone, you would have to work to build this up, but I would recommend going with a darker color19:27
    • I also love to use these on the lips as well because they have this like staining formula to them19:37
    • This would be a product that I would mix in with a blush that was maybe too dark or too bright, and it would kind of tone it down and give me a little bit of that like creamy pastel look19:58
    • They blend out great. I don't have any patchiness. They mix with any of my blushes whether they're dewy or matte20:37
    • So, I really enjoy these, but again, they're multi-use for me, and they are like custom products that I like to add in whenever I want to change something up20:44
  12. @babsbeauty reviewing Patrick Ta Undereye Blurring Blush Duo at 21:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Transition Blurring Blush Duoshade · Between Us / All or Nothing / Between Us
    • Between Us I think it's so pretty if you want that gorgeous like baby doll cheek, very similar to what I'm wearing today21:01
    • These swatch horribly because they're very, very sheer. And that's the whole point of these. They're not supposed to be a full pigment blush21:12
    • So, this is the product that you would sweep on your under eye to really tie in into your concealer and blush. So, it just gives a diffused look in between. I think it's beautiful
    • I think there's also room for this to be like a setting powder21:33
    • I find them to be blurring. I think they're beautiful formula-wise22:10
    • I just don't think they're a standard blush formula. So, if you're expecting intense pigment like a normal blush, this is not that22:12
    • It's just like a setting powder that fuses both layers together and I enjoy it22:22
  13. @babsbeauty reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix Glitter Shadow Duo at 22:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Colorfix Stixshade · Infinity Day Dreaming / Love Story
    • Hands down my favorite is the Danessa Myricks Color Fix Sticks in the glitter formula22:31
    • I tapped some of this really gorgeous iridescent glittery blue just very lightly on the center of my lid. It is so stunning22:43
    • I find that this glitter formula seems to be less chunky than her original Color Fix Sticks, but I love both of them nonetheless22:52
    • This just has that like sheer but sparkly formula, and it just looks wet. Truly like wet23:04
    • It feels cool when you apply it. You can blend it out very quickly, but you have to work fast23:12
    • I think this is such a stunning formula if you like more of that sheer iridescent glittery sparkly look, and I definitely recommend this23:23
    • I really hope that she comes out with more in this version because I just think it's so pretty and a little bit softer than the full, you know, metallic pigments
  14. @babsbeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Eyeshadow (cream-to-Powder) at 24:09 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have to say the packaging is beautiful on these. It feels nice. This is like my favorite packaging from the line23:56
    • This has a really really creamy smooth feel to it, and it does give a really nice payoff. You can blend the edges, and it has this really kind of like sophisticated nice sheen to it24:09
    • I don't find it to be powdery at all. It is quite creamy and hydrating24:23
    • My issue with these is the fact that it just makes my lids look very textured24:32
    • There is something about this that just gets gunky and heavy, and it's not flattering on fine lines or textured lids. So, for me, that's the deal breaker24:46
    • I think they're more subdued on the eye than they look in swatches as well. So, not quite as intense or like bam in your face as I thought25:03
    • I think they're solid, but for me, I just felt like they looked heavy and made my lids look creepy25:13
    • It was just again in that like good category, but not great25:34
  15. @babsbeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Eyeliner at 25:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It was the worst eyeliner in my waterline as the day went on25:46
    • Marc Jacobs liners were like holy grail status for me in the past, and I'm so disappointed because when I applied this, it was creamy, I had high hopes for it25:49
    • It went on the waterline super easily, and I thought it was going to be just really close to the original, but the problem is it started wearing and patching immediately26:00
    • I would say within like an hour or two, it just looked choppy. It looked horrible, and I noticed that my eyes were really irritated from it26:12
    • I've tried it again since, and my eyes are just irritated, but beyond that, it just does not want to stay in the waterline. It clumps up, and it looks patchy26:18
    • I found it to be really dry and crumbly as the day went on. So, really, really disappointed in that and so disappointed that I returned it26:50
  16. @babsbeauty reviewing Ole Henriksen Pout Preserve Peptide Lip Treatment (chillers) at 27:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Pout Preserve Chillers Peptide Lip Treatmentshade · Grenada Guava / Maldives Melon
    • I like these because they don't hurt, but they just give this cooling feel. They're not, you know, tingly or anything like that. It's more of a refreshing cooling feel like you just put a mint in27:25
    • I love how pigmented these are. They give a really nice pop to the lips27:41
    • They smell really good, but I really love these for, you know, deep hydration and just a pop of color
    • These are products that I would wear, you know, during the day if I felt like I was looking a little bit washed out and I wanted something to make my lips come alive27:52
    • This shade is really, really bright and pretty on the lips. So, these are really, really nice
    • I think it's a nice switch up from the original formula because you still get the benefits of that really nourishing, hydrating feel, but you also get a pop of color and a little bit of that really cooling, fresh feel28:05
    • So, I think these are really nice and I'm happy I have them28:19
  17. @babsbeauty reviewing Armani Beauty Prisma Glossy Lip Balm at 28:50 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This I was excited for. It's just kind of okay for me. This is just a typical lip balm kind of lipstick28:43
    • It does have a buildable amount of pigment. It's not over the top, but you know, it's enough to actually show up28:50
    • My problem is there's really no, you know, special flip to it. I don't see any of that like Prisma vibe to it, which is interesting because the name is literally Prisma Flash28:59
    • It looked so much prettier and more substantial on the models. And for me, it's just okay29:10
    • For the price point, there's just nothing special about it. You could get this at the drugstore a hundred times over29:29
    • It's okay, but again, I'm looking for the best of the best29:37
  18. @babsbeauty reviewing Marc Jacobs Lipstick at 30:09 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I did keep Love Muscle, which I think is a favorite for a lot of people. The formula is nice. Like, there's really nothing bad about the formula30:01
    • I like the pigment level. I think that it's really nice and hydrating. I don't think that it's like heavy, gunky. It didn't apply patchy30:09
    • The problem for me is the shades are just not accurate, but also the packaging, it feels so cheap. It is so lightweight, and it's like plastic, and you can feel the lipstick jiggling inside30:20
    • For the price point and being Marc Jacobs Beauty, I just don't think it's acceptable30:35
    • The formula, again, is solid. It's really nice. I really like this color, but the other colors that I picked up, like one of them was supposed to be like a baby pastel pink and it looked nothing like that30:51
    • Definitely go in store if you're on the fence31:02
    • I just think, again, it's okay, but it could have been better. We need it to be better to live up to the hype of the original Marc Jacobs31:05
