  1. @aliciaarcher reviewing Dior Flash Stick at 10:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Dior$58.00
    Diorshow Flash Stickshade · 545 Beige Tulle
    • The reason why I adore this shade specifically is because of the base color. It virtually matches my lid color, which is why when I apply it, it appears natural, but that sparkle finish, it almost has like a crystal shine finish without feeling dry or without flaking off the lids9:56
    • On me, this lasted for 7 hours or 7 to eight, I would say, before it started to crease. I was very much impressed by Beige Tool staying power10:18
    • Beige Tool Solo I think has better staying power than, let's say, Brun Poncho10:27
    • I love the Dior sticks. I'm partial to them because when I tried the products from the Dior Riviera collection, that was the one product that impressed me the most in terms of the color selection, the ease of blend, the effortless application, it was all there11:49
    • Someone has said when she tried the Dior 6, it creased on her and she was in air conditioning, right? So, it really all depends on your skin type, your environment conditions12:05
    • Generally, these last well

    Dior$58.00
    Diorshow Flash Stickshade · Brun Poncho
    • You could just see from the swatch how smooth it is. I mean, it's ridiculous. I love this shade. It's one of my favorites10:41
    • Based off the finish, it is a true satin one10:50
    • Brun Poncho is lovely. It definitely can give smoky vibes14:14

    • It was nice to have an olive in the lineup15:43

    Dior$58.00
    Diorshow Flash Stickshade · Plum Junan
    • The Dior sticks again are incredibly smooth on the first application. And I like the satin finish cuz it's ultra flattering on the lids28:28
  5. @aliciaarcher reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Eyeshadow Stick at 14:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a matte and it is a quick dry matte, meaning you have to work with it fairly quickly before it sets on the lid5:06
    • The matte blur finishes last longer than the satin glow ones14:27
    • I do like how the matte blur formula blends. It's quite easy. You do have to work quickly. If you apply on both eyes at the same time, the one that you blend out second is not going to budge14:35
    • You have to work lightly because it could appear heavy this formula on the lids if you start to layer too much. You kind of have to work in light layers14:48
    • These colors are quite pigmented
  6. @aliciaarcher reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Eyeshadow Stick at 13:50 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Satin diamonds is super crystally. This is satin diamonds compared to Dior's beige tulle on the lid. It does have like a crystal wet effect. It's beautiful13:31
    • This does not last well. The satin glow did not last well in satin diamonds13:50
  7. @aliciaarcher reviewing Charlotte Tilbury Exagger-Eyes Eyeshadow Stick at 14:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Astral Topaz has slightly better staying power14:03
    • I just love shades like these because they are instant smoke and I love it14:06
    • Astral Topaz has a little more neutral in it which I think offers a grungier mood to the eyes14:18
  8. @aliciaarcher reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix at 18:01 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The color fix sticks have like a cooling sensation on the application. So it's quite lovely to feel it when you apply it6:41
    • The color fix sticks are longasting there. Like the color line in Danessa's beauty is meant to be like proof everything18:01
    • It's a great formula. It's lightweight. It feels great. It's so cooling. So, ideal for the summer time18:59
    • The foil side is a little tricky because the formula is quite soft. So, you just have to make sure you don't pick up too much19:20
    • When you apply too much of the foil side, it could make your lids look crinkly because the foil flakes, if they're not diffused, then they appear flat on the lid and they're not flattering19:51

    Colorfix Stixshade · Duo Number 3
    • It is quite bronzy
  10. @aliciaarcher reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Colorfix Stix at 17:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Colorfix Stixshade · Duo Number 6 - Celeste
    • It's a lovely feel on the application. And they do set quickly. So you have to make sure you work quickly so that it does not fade away17:05
  11. @aliciaarcher reviewing CHANEL Stylo Ombres Et Contour at 22:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • What I love about the Chanel is sure it's a little more of a pain to apply. Technically, it's not an eye shadow stick. Although I do slap this shade all over my eyes because I adore it. I still like the formula21:40
    • This shade in particular, Mongoli Brown number 74. I'm getting another one22:06
    • In terms of the staying power, however, I don't think they stay as long as the Dior. They did crease a little bit on the Chanel 6 did crease a little bit on me like at the 5hour mark. But I just do this. I'll just blend out the crease and keep it moving or I'll just carry this in the bag and reapply22:58
    • You got to get this. You got to get Maui Brown. I'm telling you, I'm going to get another one cuz this shade is goated. It's my favorite24:23
  12. @aliciaarcher reviewing CHANEL Stylo Ombres Et Contour at 28:06 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love taupe fume for what it offers28:10
    • Completely and utterly different. I love taupe fume for what it offers, but this get it28:06
  13. @aliciaarcher reviewing CHANEL Stylo Ombres Et Contour at 23:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Easy to use as inner corner highlight where you don't have to use a brush. You could just use the stick itself. And this is where the Chanel Cole has an advantage because it is shaped like an actual pencil. Therefore, a lot more precise23:41

  15. @aliciaarcher reviewing Yves Saint Laurent Love Nude Lip Blusher at 33:51 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I thought this is a great pair with what we got going on the eyes33:51
