  1. @amandaz reviewing Ciele Tint & Protect at 02:28 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Ciele$44.00
    • The reason I love this one is I think that no matter what your skin is kind of going through, this formulation does a really beautiful job of catering to texture and dryness1:38
    • It's very liquidy
    • It imparts a real glow for me2:28
    • The way the skin looks, the texture of it is paramount rather than just the coverage, if that makes sense2:31
    • I want the quality of my skin to look better having applied the makeup rather than dry and textured, but I'm getting coverage2:33
    • I think this is just going to be really good for kind of like finicky, sensitive skin, dullness, flaking2:43
    • During this winter, my skin has been going through it all over the place, and this just consistently looked really, really nice2:52
    • This was Best of Beauty last year. It happens to be Best of Beauty again this year because I just think it's really that good2:56
  2. @amandaz reviewing Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Foundation at 03:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Natasha Denona High Glam Foundation was a new release this year and so many of you when this launched wanted me to try it. I finally gave it a go and it just it is really really good3:15
    • It feels so thin on the skin, but it also gives a nice radiance and it lasts really well3:26
    • It's hard to be able to get longevity and something that's smoothing and something that's lightweight and something that doesn't like suck the life out of your skin3:43
    • Usually in a dry down there tends to be a sacrifice in the quality look of your skin. like sometimes things will start to get a little bit cakey, things will start to look a little dry, but this kind of does everything3:48
    • Specifically for those of you with like a combination skin type, I just have a feeling you'll really really love this one4:02
    • It's also very very similar to the Nars light reflecting foundation4:13
    • This just happens to be slightly more liquidy and thin
    • Was a home run for me this year4:10
  3. @amandaz reviewing Misha Perfect Cover BB Cream at 05:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I went back to the Misha Perfect Cover BB cream consistently when I was traveling5:30
    • I love it because it lasts well
    • It keeps my skin really fresh looking, but it doesn't look like a lot of makeup
    • The Misha Perfect Cover BB Cream has a touch more of a blur and lasts a little bit longer than the CL5:39
    • The shade 21 is a good shade match for me5:10
  4. @amandaz reviewing Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua Foundation at 06:28 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Koh Gen Do$118.00
    • I ended up using the Coco Aqua going back to this. It never misses. It really never misses6:12
    • It just looks like skin. It is so fluid. beautifully perfecting in real life, but also takes to powder really well6:28
    • Think of it as a slightly more natural, slightly more glowy version of like the Natasha Denona6:37
    • If I need to just like slap on some makeup in seven minutes flat, I'm probably reaching for this because I just know that this will do a lot of the heavy lifting7:00
    • There are some formulas like that where like you can kind of really just let them take the reins and they just perform and will get you there. And that's definitely Koko Aqua for me7:09
  5. @amandaz reviewing Tower 28 Beauty Serum Swipe Concealer at 08:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Tower 28 Beauty Serum Swipe Concealer is my first recommendation8:01
    • It lasts so well
    • It's so spreadable and thin8:04
    • It locks in as well, but is also so natural8:08
    • It's just pretty affordable in the grand scheme of concealers that I love8:11
    • It just smooths out over the skin so effortlessly8:25
    • I could very easily use this as like a foundation and I have like it just looks so thin and so beautifully light on the skin8:28
    • It's so so so so so good
    • I weirdly think it's still kind of underrated because there are some people that just I just think people overlook this one sometimes8:48
  6. @amandaz reviewing Kosas Revealer Super Creamy + Brightening Concealer and Daytime Eye Cream at 11:03 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Kosas$30.00
    • This would absolutely be that concealer that I would like put my name to11:03
    • It's just so so so good
  7. @amandaz reviewing Kosas Color Corrector at 09:35 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Kosas$32.00
    • I really don't think that you can beat this corrector for me9:29
    • The shade illusion I do think is like slightly too dark for my needs, but I tend to just lean towards this and add it to my concealer just to give it a little peachiness9:35
  8. @amandaz reviewing Kosas Cloud Set Powder at 11:30 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Kosas Cloud Set in Airy usually all over the rest of my face11:20
    • I think still Airy from Kosas is like probably one of the best powders on the market in my opinion for folks that want to set the face all over, but want it to be a really light set11:30
    • This is a powder you can't really overdo11:45
    • I don't want a powder that's going to go cakey all of a sudden, like you're just like tapping it along and then all of a sudden that cakeiness comes up. That's not going to happen with this
  9. @amandaz reviewing L'oreal Infallible Freshwear Bronzer at 12:24 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I have to give it to the L'Oreal Infallible Freshwear Bronzer yet again12:08
    • I like the bronzer to give a shape and I want it to kind of hold the makeup under it12:24
    • It feels like I can kind of just like sweep it all over the face and it gives me this really fresh, slightly mattified look
    • It just looks like really silky smooth bronzed skin
    • It has consistently been that for me. It is so fantastic
  10. @amandaz reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Powder Bronzer at 14:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    SoftSculpt Blurring Bronzershade · Light Medium
    • I think I really like them because they're again more mattifying. They're very buildable. They give you a true sculpt and they don't move14:06
    • They just do not move
    • My skin just looks really perfected when I have them on14:19
    • They don't go choppy and muddy the way so many other powder bronzers do because they're so finely milled and they're also densely pressed14:22
    • They're so user friendly
  11. @amandaz reviewing MAKEUP BY MARIO Soft Sculpt Shaping Stick at 15:28 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It just gives you it's the cream version of the powder. It locks in. It has enough creaminess to it to give you a really lovely blend, but it locks in15:03
    • This sticks, it locks in. It gives you an incredible shape15:28
    • The formula is fantastic
    • If you want that longevity, that's what I would go for15:44
    • This is definitely like wedding ready kind of makeup to me because it's blendable. It locks in and the tones are really dialed in15:45
  12. @amandaz reviewing Anastasia Beverly Hills Smooth Blur Contour at 16:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is the most natural like nose contour I've ever seen16:00
    • It is incredibly smooth
    • It goes down to like more of a powdery finish16:16
    • If you really like to like softly contour around the mouth or on the nose or on the cheekbones, even in like even on like the lids, I could just see if you're like a makeup finesser, I would say you would really really like this16:18
  13. @amandaz reviewing Glossier Cloud Paint Plush at 17:29 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Glossier$26.00
    • This formula is so beautifully beautifully perfecting17:21
    • It's a plushy kind of texture17:29
    • It's not like necessarily a putty either. You're almost just going to notice it on the skin as being reviving17:32
    • It has kind of a reviving quality. It'll kind of set the makeup and blur everything, but also kind of impart this like very gentle kind of freshness17:40
    • This shade, burst, I am wearing it a little bit right here. Kind of my new obsession now17:52
    • It's a really really lovely kind of orange red17:59
    • As far as all red blushes this year that I have tried, I'm going to say that this is my favorite. This is like the number one
  14. @amandaz reviewing SOSHE Beauty Blurring Blush at 19:08 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Blurring Pillow Blushshade · Bare Muse
    • These are even more creamy though. These lean more to a cream than they do a powder18:51
    • Bare Muse was a product I mentioned in my one-and-one blush video and it just again it just looks like perfected skin when you put it on the cheeks19:08
    • I can kind of just like run it over the nose onto the cheekbones and everything just looks so smooth19:18
    • Bare Muse I think is my favorite shade19:25
  15. @amandaz reviewing SOSHE Beauty Blurring Blush at 19:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Blurring Pillow Blushshade · Copper Spice
    • Copper spice is just a gorgeous, gorgeous terracotta19:33
    • This one is just so blurring and smoothing and easy to use without it being that weird picking up on the skin kind of feel that you get with some blurring blushes19:39
  16. @amandaz reviewing fwee Pudding Pots Blush at 20:05 in a YouTube Shorts video
    fwee$26.00
    • This shade in specific, the shade my I just it's really really lovely19:58
    • Personally think this is their best shade because it's such an understated neutral pink20:05
    • It really gives you that subtle barely there blush look that I have personally been really enjoying20:26
    • It makes the skin look so freaking polished20:41

  18. @amandaz reviewing Victoria Beckham Beauty Colour Wash Water Blush at 22:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • They are just so expensive for what they are, but I do really love them22:09
    • This specific shade, flushed, I used on was four of us, varying skin tones, undertones, and everyone looked good in this22:15
    • It looks like nothing in the best way. Like, you can't really tell that there's a lot of makeup there. It just kind of looks like radiant, berry, flushed skin
    • If you're very much like a mascara, 5 minute makeup kind of person, I just have a feeling you're going to love this22:36
  19. @amandaz reviewing Dior Powder Blush at 22:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Dior Cherry, the new reformulated one, is still absolutely excellent22:48
    • It's just a little bit more pigmented
    • It still was one of the most used blushes of the year
  20. @amandaz reviewing Nature Republic Praha Dahlia Blush at 23:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    By Flower Blushershade · Praha Dahlia
    • It is a very very unique underrated product23:44
    • If you have like a very fair kind of low contrast thing going on, I think you should take note23:48
  21. @amandaz reviewing Shantaai Starfish Eyeshadow at 24:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's like the most lovely soft purpley taupe metallic24:32
    • The shade is incredibly incredibly unique24:39
    • It just looks so effortless24:44
    • It has this beautiful definition to it, but it's not super smoky either24:47
    • I love it because it's not like a visible shimmer product24:51
    • It's like one of those silky satin metallic mix kind of products that I love
    • There's just a timelessness to them that I think is very elegant and pretty25:12
  22. @amandaz reviewing About-Face Stick Slowburn at 25:42 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Shimmerstickshade · Slowburn
    • It's the most wet glossy brown. I just absolutely love it25:37
    • I think it's just like a pigment housed in here. I mean it looks pressed in there25:42
    • If you are a fan of these kinds of shades, like that wet glossy brown, you're going to really like this25:50
    • Alone it is worth getting just for the glossy powder26:01
    • Better than like Wet Pebble from Half Magic. I would say equally as good as like some of the high-end glossy brown powders26:04
    • This is Best of Beauty. It is freaking fantastic26:16
  23. @amandaz reviewing Flower Knows Angel Palette at 26:39 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Incredibly ornate packaging, but I love it26:37
    • It almost feels like a smaller version of like an Natasha Denona I need a nude palette26:39
    • I have three glossy glitters right there and then I have my powders, like my matte powders. This is what I want26:45
    • All of these gorgeous smooth mattes, great pigmentation, and then all of these glossy glitters on top. It's just a perfect palette in my opinion27:22
    • I think so many people are sleeping on Flower Knows, on Chinese Beauty in general. It's just fantastic27:38
  24. @amandaz reviewing Clio Latte Senior Palette at 28:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Pro Eye Palette Airshade · Latte Senior
    • I've used this palette for years, but slowly over time did I really begin to appreciate it27:54
    • I kind of like to think of these as like setting powders for the eyes28:04
    • They have like a low to medium pigmentation28:06
    • They are so blurring and softening on the eyes28:22
    • Whenever I'm using these all just all-in-one for just a matte look. It looks very professional. Like they're really easy to blend together for this insanely diffused look28:25
    • If you are someone that just finds your powders never kind of like they never want to blend together, I really highly recommend checking this one out because I just find that they do a lot of the work for you28:39
  25. @amandaz reviewing Surratt Beauty Beyond Beige Palette at 29:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is still my perfect quad. I don't think there's going to be another quad that can even come close to this29:27
    • They have the most luxurious texture29:34
    • These have the most pigment, especially like these two shades comparatively to the other palettes we talked about29:36
    • They just look really, really good on dry eyelids29:42
    • This is definitely an if you know, you know palette, and that is why it is still best of beauty, and it's still one of my most used eyeshadow palettes ever30:19
  26. @amandaz reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Groundwork Palette at 30:48 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • If you are a lover of creams and matte powders, like especially I would say like for aspiring makeup artists, this is just it just gives you so much versatility30:37
    • I love using it for eyeliner all of the time because I can just use the putties and then the matching corresponding powder and lock everything in just across the board really lock in and last30:48
    • I just love this color story31:01
  27. @amandaz reviewing Shiseido Eyelash Curler at 31:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Shiseido$28.00
    • They are just the best31:50
    • If I want my curl to really last, that's when I'm going for Shiseido31:53
    • I love the Kevyn Aucoin one probably equally, but I used this one more31:59
    • They're both so good that if one went away, I wouldn't feel bad because I would just go to the other one32:08
    • Glidey and smooth. You really notice when an eyelash curler is too sharp up here. And this is not too sharp32:14
    • Some of them like really hurt the lashes or the eyes. Maybe I just have sensitive eyes, but there are some that are incredibly sharp32:24
    • This one is gentle but also effective32:38
  28. @amandaz reviewing Kosas Soulgazer Intensifying Gel Eyeliner at 33:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a goto for me if I want something really creamy that then I can kind of blend out into a wing
    • I will say it won't last as long as some of the other like drier textures, which is kind of unfortunate, but I give it a pass just because it's so easy to work with32:53
    • It's really easy to just scrub along, kind of form a wing, and then you're done
    • It's really nice for tight lining33:12
  29. @amandaz reviewing Sweed Beauty Pro Lift Mascara at 33:22 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This was for my everyday look33:19
    • This gave me a very like super lengthened look33:22
    • It kind of just like really opens up the eyes in a lovely way
    • It's very lengthening. Not in the way that some lengthening mascaras are where it kind of like it's very like noodly or like stringy, I guess. This is not that33:28
    • It still frames the eyes really well and there's a taper to it33:39
    • The wand is crazy. It kind of like almost like a spatula wand, but it just like pushes everything up
    • You don't need a lot of it in order to get that look33:54
    • You can over apply this one. So just be wary of that33:56
  30. @amandaz reviewing Tower 28 Beauty MakeWaves Mascara at 34:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one is very buildable34:03
    • I love it because you can't really go super like clumpy with it34:07
    • It just again pushes up the lashes, frames out the eyes34:14
    • Very black, super long lashes, but not like a clumpy sort of mess34:17
    • If I'm having a very, very, very good eyelash day, I would say seven times out of 10, I'm probably wearing the Tower 2834:23
  31. @amandaz reviewing MAKE Beauty Infinite Hold Sculpting Brow Gel at 35:00 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • If you are a fan of that like really fluffed up, this to me is like what I wish the lamination brow like trend would have been34:48
    • It gives you such a fluffy but strong hold35:00
    • It really like these natural bristles make every single brow hair really defined and fluffed up and thicker looking35:04
    • Whereas some brow gels really kind of make the brow hairs look limp and lifeless. This really pushes them all up. It holds it35:14
    • If you are really into like that fluffier brow look, but you want it to last and you like it clear like I do, this is so so good35:22
    • Really worth every penny35:30
  32. @amandaz reviewing Palladio Beauty Lip Stain at 36:03 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Lip Stainshade · Nude
    • I think the Palladio Beauty is still my favorite lip stain marker36:01
    • I don't like a super defined lip liner with a gloss over. Like I want everything to kind of meld and mesh together36:03
    • This one in the nude shade though it dries out faster than like the Huda Beauty might36:21
    • I think it gives the most natural overlined effect as well36:26
    • It just looks very natural36:47
  33. @amandaz reviewing Jones Road Beauty Lip Liners at 38:33 in a YouTube Shorts video
    The Lip Pencilshade · Nudest Shade
    • Their liners, they have like the most they're very classic kind of formula38:27
    • If you like something that feels a little bit more waxy, so that you can get like something really precise, I highly recommend them38:33
    • I always find that my lips just always look a little bit plushier, a little bit bigger, and then the lip liner lasts much better than other lip liners I use38:42
    • That's why I end up always going back to the Jones Road38:52
    • The shade selection is really good. I would say the nudest shade is probably my most used38:56
  34. @amandaz reviewing SOSHE Beauty Speakeasy Lip Silk at 39:13 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • My most used lipstick this year was Soi Speak Easy39:00
    • It's so perfect. It's so everyday
    • It's sheer enough that I can kind of just like apply it on a whim39:13
    • It's satin. It's not really glossy. It's not really matte. It's just that kind of it really is like the epitome of just effortless39:18
    • It's very reminiscent of like the OG Chanel lipsticks, like the satin formula39:27
    • If you like their hydrating lipstick formula, I feel like you'll probably like these39:30
    • This is refillable and the shade to me is like my perfect shade39:36
    • I always go back and recommend this one, especially for those of you that love that kind of like dusty mauve kind of shade39:42
  35. @amandaz reviewing fwee Volumizing Gloss at 40:07 in a YouTube Shorts video
    fwee$17.00
    • Hands down the best gloss formula I've ever used39:53
    • This gloss is more hydrating than some like fullon lip balms40:07
    • Really lovely like subtle fruity scent40:16
    • They have kind of like a plush gel texture40:20
    • They feel really hydrating but they have a grip so it's not like oily kind of sliding all over the lips40:23
    • They still want to like adhere. They have a lovely glossiness40:31
    • They kind of like fill in the lines of the lips as well40:33
    • With all of their shades, they have a 70% saturation and then they have the 30%. Which is amazing because if you want to go with something more intense, you can just buy that one40:40
    • This is another one of those products that I'm like, I don't think you can get better40:50
  36. @amandaz reviewing Versed Cashmere Color at 41:34 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Versed$11.99
    • If you want a soft lip color, you don't want it really glossy, you just want that sheer bitten lip look, this is where I would lead you towards41:26
    • It also doesn't have a lot of the weird kind of silicone slip that some of these products have, like thinner and more natural looking on the lips than like the Vlet FR lipsticks or the Glossier Generation G's41:34
    • In my opinion, these are cheaper than those. And I think that they just sit on the skin of the lips like closer and they wear better41:49
    • If I'm doing a matte lip, I'm probably wearing these
  37. @amandaz reviewing EADEM Exfoliating + Softening Balm at 42:42 in a YouTube Shorts video
    EADEM$24.00
    • To me, they're the best of both worlds because they hydrate the lips, they moisturize the lips, and they exfoliate the lips42:14
    • They really absolutely killed it
    • I do really love the metal applicator because it just feels really soothing42:42
    • This is definitely a top recommendation for someone that wants an everyday lip balm product that looks really nice kind of just for an everyday look lip look, but also like will give you a really lovely softening effect42:46
    • It really will soften the lips and keep them hydrated but also smooth42:57
  38. @amandaz reviewing cocokind Lip Blur Lip Balms at 43:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I think they just killed it with this formula43:07
    • I have one in my purse43:12
    • This is what I'm going for if I just want like a soft kind of glossiness43:12
    • If I just want my lips to feel protected43:16
    • It's less glossy, I would say, than the Edom43:22
    • They're more affordable as well, which I think it's nice to have an affordable lip balm personally because for me they kind of like go missing if you will
  39. @amandaz reviewing Cetaphil Gentle Exfoliating Cleanser at 45:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Cetaphil$12.99
    • One of my favorite products period of this year was the Cetaphil gentle exfoliating cleanser44:21
    • It has salicylic acid, mandelic, and PHAs45:04
    • It does a really, really good job of exfoliating your skin while being exceptionally gentle45:24
    • It is not a very stripping cleanser, but also it is a cleanser, so it washes off
    • I like to put this all over, kind of give it a lather, and let it sit for like a minute to really get the kind of salicylic acid and the mandelic acid to work44:53
    • Gentle exfoliation every day is your way to success as far as exfoliation goes45:06
    • This has never dried out my skin45:34
    • When I stopped using this because I ran out, my skin like really kind of within a few days I was having breakouts and like things were not going well45:36
    • I think sincerely that this is one of the most underrated products45:50
  40. @amandaz reviewing Merit Double Cleanse at 46:11 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Merit$44.00
    • If you want something with more impact, I think the great skin double cleanse. This was another favorite46:03
    • I think this is going to be better for brightening and for like softening of texture46:11
  41. @amandaz reviewing Haruharu Wonder Probiotics Berry Essence at 47:02 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Haruharu Wonder Probiotics Berry Essence is the OG. It's just the best
    • I think it works for any skin type
    • If you have more oily skin, you could literally use this as your moisturizer46:43
    • It's the most luxurious milky texture. It is so softening. It's really calming on the skin47:02
    • It's packed with the ceramides47:12
    • My skin is so plump and my makeup has just never looked better since I started using this46:56
    • It is good for the barrier and it is beautiful as a skincare product, but it also is actually really getting along well with makeup47:38
  42. @amandaz reviewing Prequel Half & Half at 47:52 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I really like the Prequel Half and Half as well47:49
    • I like to use this almost more as a serum. So, there's like peptides in here47:52
    • It is slightly less replenishing and more hydrating48:00
    • Both are really really lovely48:05
  43. @amandaz reviewing TIRTIR Ceramic Milk Ampoule at 48:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    TIRTIR$13.00
    • This is the TIRTIR product though that I think more people should talk about and it is this really glossy kind of milky ampoule48:20
    • It's essentially like an emulsion product. It's kind of like a cross between a facial oil and a lotion48:41
    • It has a ton of glossiness48:48
    • If you have very tired skin and you feel like no matter what you do, your skin is just dull dull dull, couple layers of this, I think you're going to be surprised with how impactful it is48:48
    • It's like a better version of the Glossier Future Dew basically49:11
    • It's packed with ceramides as well. So so milky and nourishing49:14
  44. @amandaz reviewing Dieux Air Angel Gel Cream at 49:59 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I prefer a thinner lotion now. It's kind of new for me under makeup at least. So, I've been loving this one under makeup
    • It's kind of like a gel cream. It's hydrating if I just want to kind of amp up and protect my skin a bit
    • My skin really enjoys this and drinks it up49:59
  45. @amandaz reviewing Beauty of Joseon Dynasty Cream at 50:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • The Beauty of Joseon dynasty cream is my other favorite50:07
    • It just gives me that instant bright brightened kind of effect when I'm using it consistently50:16
    • I personally find that it also helps with like post acne marks, just like general healthiness of my skin, that resilience, and it just hits every time50:20
    • It's a really lightweight gel
    • My skin felt super bright and really healthy without having to have like a lot of greasy product50:40
  46. @amandaz reviewing Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream at 51:14 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Cetaphil$17.00
    • Sometimes there are days where you just need a hard reset. Wash my face. This done. Nothing else. My skin barrier is like super messed up51:03
    • This is essentially like putting glycerin and prolatum on your face51:14
  47. @amandaz reviewing Rhode Barrier Butter Balm at 51:29 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • There are days when I just will wash my face, barrier butter, that's it51:24
    • This is more activives driven
    • I think this to me is like really beautiful slugging51:29
    • When I was using this on top to kind of seal everything in, I would wake up and my face would still feel hydrated and radiant rather than like dry51:36
    • It's one of RH's best launches
  48. @amandaz reviewing AESTURA Atobarrier365 Cream at 52:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This stuff is so freaking good52:07
    • I would actually say if you have very dry skin, go with the Haruhar Wonder Camide Cream. These two products are pretty similar52:10
    • This is a little bit thinner, but that one is probably better for nighttime. I would say daytime do an out barrier and then nighttime do like the horara wonder52:18
    • My skin just is singing when I have this on. It's so gentle. Really packs in the camides and just keeps the skin barrier heading in the right direction and I can wear this really easily under makeup and it looks great52:34
  49. @amandaz reviewing Isntree Hyaluronic Acid Watery Sun Gel at 55:41 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Isntree$18.99
    • This is glowier, the Isntree, but it's a little bit more watery. So, it's kind of like a gel kind of cream55:08
    • Both SPF 50 and they never sting or burn my eyes, which is number one for me55:41
    • They both look exceptional under makeup55:34
    • No White Cast on either of these either56:06
  50. no still
    Isehan$14.90
    • The Kiss Me Mommy kind of has like a dry down. It's a lotion, but it kind of has like a dry down, slight dry down. If I had it my way, I would use this every single day for like the rest of my life. I hope they never get rid of it
    • Both SPF 50 and they never sting or burn my eyes, which is number one for me
    • They both look exceptional under makeup
    • No White Cast on either of these either
  51. @amandaz reviewing Paula's Choice Benzoyl Peroxide 2.5% Daily Skin Clearing Treatment at 56:18 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • Another favorite for years has been the daily skin clearing treatment from Paula's Choice. This is a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide56:09
    • I use this all in this area. This is where I like get the most breakouts because again, that's like the hormonal zone56:18
    • This is only 2.5% benzoyl peroxide. You don't need the 10% in order to get the effectiveness56:25
    • It really is. As far as actives, specifically for my hormonal breakouts, this has been the most consistently effective for me56:39
    • I really could not highly recommend it enough if you get those really nodule like cystic kind of breakouts the way that I do56:46
  52. @amandaz reviewing Hero Cosmetics Acne Patches at 57:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • I love both of them equally. The Hero Cosmetics acne patches for breakouts that are very very sensitive, I'll probably go for these57:00
    • Most importantly is both of these patches like they hold a lot which is very very important for me57:26
  53. @amandaz reviewing Peace Out Acne Patches at 63:49 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Peace Out$19.00
    • If I really want to speed up the process, like if I want actives to kind of help clear it, that's when I'll go with the Peace Out acne patches because they have retinol in them. So, it'll kind of help to clear things out a little bit faster
    • Most importantly is both of these patches like they hold a lot which is very very important for me63:49
  54. @amandaz reviewing Flur Father Figure at 57:54 in a YouTube Shorts video
    PHLUR$99.00
    • This has basically become like my signature. It is the fig smell. It is woody. It is like skin musky57:51
    • It smells like your skin but figgy and woody57:54
    • It has that really lovely musky base, but then the brightness of the fig comes through58:12
    • It's woody. It's warm. There's like it almost has like these really bright pops of the fig. It's like fresh and green, but it's not overly woodsy that would make my head hurt58:23
    • I also love that it lasts58:39
    • When they did when Flur came out with this for the deodorant, I was like, give me give me 15 of those right now. It is now my favorite deodorant that I've ever used58:41
  55. @amandaz reviewing DedCool Mochi Milk at 59:27 in a YouTube Shorts video
    DedCool$90.00
    • Mochi Milk close second from DedCool. I already went through like a whole travel size59:11
    • If I wanted something a little bit more playful, I'll probably go with DedCool Mochi Milk59:27
    • It's just like that very nostalgic kind of like strawberry milk scent59:43
  56. @amandaz reviewing Jo Malone London Mini Ginger Biscuit at 60:16 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • It's Ginger Biscuit from Jo Malone London. It has the spiciness or like that kind of edge that Father Figure has, but that little bit of cinnamon gingery sweetness that kind of alludes to the sweetness of Dead Cool60:05
    • This is kind of like the middle ground between the two, but this is very much like a winter fragrance60:16
    • People like rave about this for wintry sweet fragrances. This is so balanced. It's not like quangly sweet at all. It's just biscety. It has those pops of like that candied ginger60:20
    • It's just so good. I'm so so glad that I finally picked up the travel size because for a long time I've been wanting to try it and then I tried it, I'm like, "Oh, hands down this is the best holiday fragrance for sure."60:32
