    Essence$5.99
    • If you told me this was a $30-40 concealer, I would believe you1:28
    • This is very much giving the Hourglass Concealer1:40
    • I like this a better than the Hourglass Concealer1:50
    • It is so creamy, think Tower 28, think Natasha Denona1:54
    • It has somewhat of a soft matte finish, so it's really blurring on the under eyes1:59
    • I do think it has great wear time as well2:05
    • It is one of my new favorites across all price points, and I just can't believe it is by far one of the most affordable concealers that you can get on the market2:13
    • It just blends in like butter2:20
    • A little bit of extra thickness to it, which I do feel kind of fills in the hollowness of the under eyes, and it's so soft and flattering on the skin2:23
    • It's beautiful to blend all over because a little bit goes a long way2:32
    • It just spreads like silk over the skin2:37
    • By far one of my all-time all-time favorite drugstore concealers2:39
    • Essence has absolutely knocked my socks off with this concealer
  2. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Essence Soft Touch Butter Bronzer at 04:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Essence$5.99
    Soft Touch Butter Bronzershade · 10 whipped buttercup
    • This is a powder bronzer, but it doesn't really have any kickback and it blends in, as the name suggests, like butter into the skin3:55
    • You can't over apply this4:05
    • It applies in almost an instant blur on the skin4:07
    • It just creates this filter wherever you apply it4:14
    • It is very clearly a powder, but it applies like a cream4:35
    • It's not patchy
    • This is an amazing, amazing bronzer
    • Can't think of a bronzer that is quite as soft and blurring as this4:47
    • It's almost like airbrush on the skin
    • It's only $6. Incredible
  3. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Essence Soft Touch Bouncy Blush at 05:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Essence$5.99
    Soft Touch Bouncy Blushshade · Exotic Daisy
    • It reminds me very much of the bronzer, the soft touch bouncy blushes5:14
    • It turns like from putty to a powder dry down5:20
    • If you love that really airbrushed blurred look, that's K-beauty inspired5:27
    • It looks like a cloud on the skin and you can build it up6:00
    • It's very very pigmented
    • Amazing amazing wear time
    • They are stunning because they are like a watercolor on the face6:24
  4. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Pixi Liquid Glow Blush at 07:17 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Pixi$18.00
    LiquidGlow Blushshade · Fresh
    • The number one my most favorite blush that launched was a Pixi Beauty product6:38
    • This is a serum style blush7:17
    • This melts into the skin7:22
    • You get a lot of pigment with it7:25
    • It gives a really youthful, dewy, juicy look on the cheek and very easily build up the pigment with this and it just looks so fresh7:25
    • This is not for the faint of heart. You have to want a lot of rosiness or color to your cheeks7:37
    • If you want something really juicy and glowy that just melts into your makeup, highly recommend these7:42
    • This is my favorite thus far blush launch of the year7:49
  5. @morganturnermakeup reviewing CoverGirl Trublend Skin Enhancer Baked Luminous Finishing Powder at 08:46 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is not a dupe of the Hourglass powder
    • I still think it's a really nice and it is a good alternative
    • This just lays down a little bit more color on the face and it's just a little little bit more on top of the skin, whereas the Hourglass creates a filter over the skin8:36
    • I like this to set my makeup8:46
    • When I don't want to lose all of my shine, I will lightly use this to set my makeup8:48
    • This does oxidize a little bit9:06
    • Make sure you're purchasing a shade that is lighter than your skin tone8:59
    • I don't love this as much for sweeping over color because this gives more pigment than the Hourglass9:23
    • For pressing into the skin to set it, but not take away the glow, this is super duper nice and even though it's not as good as the Hourglass, I do think it still performs at a high-end level9:32
  6. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Beauty Creations Riding Solo Single Shadow at 10:13 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • These are incredible if you are into buying individual shadows10:08
    • Beauty Creations is one of my all-time favorite new up-and-coming affordable brands10:13
    • The matte shades blend like butter11:05
    • These are so pigmented as you can see. They're very, very creamy11:52
    • It really is hard to believe that these are only $6
    • These are so, so competitive with those expensive single shadows12:08
    • You don't get crazy fall out
    • How unreal are these shadows? You would not believe these were only $6 each12:47
  7. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Versed Lip Frame at 13:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Versed$11.99
    • These are the perfect hybrid of like one of the blurring lip liners and a regular lip liner13:11
    • You have a little bit more definition with them, but they still have a soft tip13:16
    • They give just enough pigment, but still have that blurred look13:20
    • I actually really, really like these as lip liners13:24
    • Sometimes I'm a little iffy because I feel like they do make my lips look kind of messy, but these ones really don't13:29
    • I love the shades because they're true contour shades13:37
    • these are longer lasting than some of the more popular ones13:55
  8. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Catrice Gel Glide Long Lasting Lip Liner at 14:31 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Catrice$6.00
    • I swear to you, these are a dupe of the Urban Decay Gel Eyeliners14:16
    • These are my go-to if I want them to set down and not move14:31
    • These are just as long wearing as the Urban Decay14:35
    • They have a pretty easy, smooth glide on the lips, and they set down, and they do truly last such a long time, almost all day14:39
    • I definitely recommend looking towards these Catrice ones, and they're like so, so affordable14:52
  9. @morganturnermakeup reviewing L'oreal Blurfiller Blurring Lip Contour at 15:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I think L'Oreal did a great job with these15:03
    • I like how blurred that these look on the lips15:19
    • They're definitely much softer and much more blurring than the verse15:21
    • they last longer than the road15:28
    • I like the finish of these better because they're more of a soft matte15:31
    • I love the range of colors as well15:40
    • And pretty good wear time as well16:22
  10. @morganturnermakeup reviewing CoverGirl Squishy Glaze Lip Butter Balm at 16:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    CoverGirl$11.99
    • By far the best one at the drugstore that I've tried is easily the CoverGirl squishy glaze lip butter balm16:43
    • These are one of the most hydrating and also one of the most truly glossy and shiny butter balms16:48
    • It doesn't feel like Vaseline on the lips16:56
    • It leans more towards gloss because I do find with a lot of the more affordable ones, I feel like I'm just putting Vaseline on my lips. These actually have kind of that makeup gloss quality16:58
    • The flavors are super yums, which as a foodie, that matters to me17:12
    • It's actually hydrating on the lips
    • The CoverGirl is definitely competitive with some of my all-time favorite lip butter balms and by far, if you ask me, the best quality lip butter balms17:43
    • There are a few outliers that are really nice and this is one of them17:55
  11. @morganturnermakeup reviewing Pacifica Sugared Apricot at 18:21 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • One of my favorite affordable fragrance brands is Pacifica18:08
    • You must be a sweet lover, you must love gourmand scents18:21
    • If that is your jam, you are going to love sugared apricot18:34
    • It reminds me so much of the vanilla apricot, which I wore for my wedding, just a lot more affordable18:41
    • If you walk by someone, you're going to smell delicious19:03
    • If you love like a sugary fruity scent, you are going to love this one. It's incredible19:07
    • I think, quite luxe-looking packaging for only $1819:19
    • For $15 and just how delightful, delicious yummyness it smells, I have to recommend that to you19:40
