  1. tina_yong mentioning Judydoll Slim Iron Mascara at 00:39 in their YouTube video
    Judydoll$17.99
    • The Judydoll one blew up because it's actually made for shorter, straighter, stubborn lashes0:32
    • They combined the stainless steel wand with a more waxy formula that's really good for holding curls0:37
    • When I applied this, the first thing I noticed is that it's not a very wet formula0:44
    • It feels very drying. And that's how it's able to just hold the curl in place0:46
    • Unlike western mascaras that tend to feel more wet when you apply it, that tends to drop the lashes. Whereas this one feels more waxy and dry0:52
    • This mascara takes time to build up1:00
    • If you're after something that doesn't clump, that lengthens, that gives you more of like a natural look, then this could be it1:03
    • I personally really like it for lower lashes1:12
    • The formula of this will add length, but not so much volume1:14
    • It's a very slow and steady mascara1:22
    • This gives me a very natural finish and surprisingly no clumps1:24
    • I think if you have like shorter Asian straight lashes, you're going to really like this1:30
    • For my top lashes, it's not my favorite mascara because it does take time to build up1:37
    • My little pet peeve is that because the metal tip is like rounded, I can't go in and use it to like detail like how I would with other brushes1:40
    • Also, because the wand is so small, it just takes time to build up1:50
  2. tina_yong mentioning UODO Moisturizing Light Foundation at 02:50 in their YouTube video
    UODO$15.84
    • The coverage is not full coverage at all
    • I tried to build it up and I feel like this sits more like a light to medium coverage2:45
    • When I started layering it on, it started to get thick and cakey, so I don't recommend building it up2:50
    • The shade is a little bit lighter for me, but actually it's not too bad once I blend it out2:55
    • I do like the natural finish though. It does look very skin-like3:13
    • When I used a light layer of this, it did give me a very hydrated base. It looked very natural, very skin-like3:18
    • I think it's great if you have a drier skin type3:27
    • On oilier skins, this will tend to slip and slide, especially if you're doing layers3:32
    • If you guys were like me and bought this foundation thinking that it's full coverage, it's not. I think it's completely clickbait3:36
    • You can still see redness around my nostrils. So, the coverage is not very high3:42
    • Had I known it would be a more natural finish that's glowy, I think I would have liked it3:50
    • For me, it didn't really deliver
  3. tina_yong mentioning Amortals Perfect Powder Puff Set at 04:33 in their YouTube video
    • They're non latex with higher air content, so it makes it really bouncy and like cloudlike to use when you're blending it over your skin4:09
    • I didn't think a sponge could be that life-changing, but it is4:30
    • It just blends my foundation and liquid products so easily4:33
    • It gives me that blurred skin effect4:38
    • It doesn't absorb too much product4:50
    • It's great to use with liquid serum foundations. You can even use it with your cushion foundations4:52
    • Because the sponge is so big, it makes blending so easy and quick4:56
    • For smaller areas, I like to fold the sponge in half and then work it in like under my eyes, sides of nose5:01
    • This makes applying makeup so much faster5:11
    • I recommend getting the black one because it just looks so much better5:13
    • It's pretty easy to wash5:21
    • It's something I'd definitely repurchase again and again
    • Move over Beauty Blender
  4. tina_yong mentioning AZTK Jello Color Liquid Blush at 06:43 in their YouTube video
    AZTK$14.00
    • These are a watery texture liquid blush
    • It starts off as a liquid and it sets to like a powdery finish5:53
    • These have gone viral because people love the texture, how light it is, how blendable it is5:55
    • These are very watery. It has low pigment content, so that means it's more like translucent. Gives you that light opacity wash of color over the cheeks6:11
    • This one is a little bit more forgiving and I would say beginner friendly6:22
    • I think the best way to apply this is by using a brush instead of fingers6:40
    • This does dry to a powdery finish, but personally, I like to use this as a blush base, so I will go in with more product on top6:50
    • You can layer and build it up as well and just wear it as is7:00
    • If I was doing a no makeup or like an everyday look that's very natural, this is enough7:05
    • Look how beautiful it looks on the skin7:10
    • They're very natural. I feel like if you want something for an everyday minimal, no makeup look, then this is it7:25
    • I've tried layering layers and layers of this. The intensity does not build up7:43
    • It's kind of foolproof because you can't really overdo it with this7:50
    • If you want to avoid blush blindness, reach for these7:54
    • I think they work better as a base7:57

  6. tina_yong mentioning Judydoll Highlighter & Contour Duo at 08:43 in their YouTube video
    Judydoll$16.99
    • This is a dual-ended highlighter and contour8:31
    • The formula of this is very fine, very liquidy8:35
    • The formula is alcohol free, talc free, and paraben free
    • It's very thin. It's very different8:45
    • It's super blendable. It's not that concentrated with pigment8:53
    • Formula is beginner friendly, but the applicator I don't think is that beginner friendly9:00
    • The amount of product that comes out varies depending on how you hold it. It's not as easy to control as a cream contour stick9:10
    • The formula is very thin and the applicator, I don't know, the angle kind of makes it hard to map out things evenly9:21
    • The formula is great
    • If you're using something like this and you want a very precise contour and highlight, I would say dispense it on the back of your hand and use a brush to apply9:35
    • The contour shade is a true cool tone contour shade. It's not very warm. It actually looks like shadow when you apply and blend it and it's very blendable9:41
    • It doesn't add bulk and thickness to your makeup9:53
    • If you're someone who likes a very strong defined contour, this may be too natural9:56
    • The highlight color is basically like a white, a white very thin liquid10:10
    • A little goes a long way10:18
  7. tina_yong mentioning Judydoll 2 IN 1 Highlighter Contour Palette at 11:25 in their YouTube video
    Judydoll$16.99
    • I reach for this every day. Like, since the day I got it, I use it all the time11:14
    • One of these palettes that just makes sense11:20
    • The browns and all the contour shades are true cool tone. So, they're not too warm like bronzer colors11:46
    • This is very suitable for like Asian skin tones or lighter fair skins because the contour shows up as like shadows
    • This shade is great for contouring the nose, deepening up my contour. It's very natural11:53
    • It's actually one of those few palettes that have like a more cool tone contour color12:01
    • The darker shade is great for the perimeters12:10
    • If you're someone who wants a natural looking contour, these are pretty much foolproof. They're not intense. They're more natural. They're actual like shadow colors12:13
    • If you're someone who's heavy-handed or a beginner, I do recommend these12:26
    • With this palette, I use all four shades pretty often12:31
    • These two are the highlight shades. So, they give you a matte highlight and a shimmery one12:35
    • The matte highlight I usually use like for the inner corners or just on the nose first and just here12:36
    • I can use it for under my eyes as well
  8. tina_yong mentioning JOOCYEE Jelly Highlighter Glitter Stick at 13:42 in their YouTube video
    • When you apply it, it has this like cooling sensation and it glides on really well14:22
    • It's like a gel formula, so you don't have to deal with like messy pigments or highlighting powder falling on other areas that you don't want it to go
    • It's easy to apply and I feel like it disperses the pigments really nicely
    • It's more of like a wet look. It gives you that nice glow and sheen
    • It's not overly pigmented and honestly I feel like it doesn't swatch like the photos online. It's a little bit more toned down and I appreciate that in highlighters14:02
    • When you apply this, there's like a cooling sensation
    • This is actually going to set in place. I don't need to apply any other product over it14:26
    • After you apply this on, it doesn't budge. Like, it just sets. It's just on. This won't budge14:34
    • I've used these on my eyelids, for my under eyes, on my nose, on my cheeks. I feel like it's a nice multi highlighting stick14:39
    • I think it applies really well. It doesn't like remove any makeup underneath, so you don't have to worry about anything shifting14:52
    • The only thing is that I do feel like it does fade throughout the day. If I'm like wearing it from morning to night, it will fade14:59
    • If I want it to last longer, I would layer another like powder on top15:06
    • Overall, I think it's solid. I definitely would recommend you guys checking it out15:12

  10. tina_yong mentioning JOOCYEE Moisturized Long-Lasting Glazed Rouge at 15:37 in their YouTube video
    • This is not a traditional lipstick, nor is it a gloss or a balm. It's basically like all three mixed together15:27
    • It glides on so effortlessly. It's like a balmy texture that helps to smooth out lines15:34
    • It gives me a very high shine without the stickiness15:41
    • Love them for my dry lips15:51
    • This adds so much moisture and life to my dry, chapped lips15:56
    • The color is kind of translucent, so it gives a sheer to medium color16:00
    • I love love love this texture16:04
    • You only want to wind up a little bit as you use it16:23
    • Can we just appreciate what it did to my lips just then?16:29
    • You're not supposed to like smack your lips together straight away because you want that layer of film to form and give it that really high shine gloss16:32
    • This just revived my lips. Like, what? So glossy. So shiny16:44
    • Some color does definitely transfer17:19
    • It still looks really pretty. So, I can't fault it
    • If you live somewhere hot and humid, you might have a problem of this almost like getting too soft17:34
    • It's one of those products that you don't want to leave out in the hot in the sun because it will like just kind of melt away17:50
  11. tina_yong mentioning Judydoll Watery Essence Lip Gloss at 18:42 in their YouTube video
    Judydoll$13.99
    • This is a watery serumy type lip gloss. It's not super thick and goopy like lip glosses you would find in the West18:24
    • The formula itself, it's very thin, very fluidy18:39
    • It gives shine like a lip oil but without the oil18:44
    • When I apply this, I noticed how cooling the applicator is because it's a metal tip18:46

    • I do like the finish of this. It does hydrate and makes my lips like way healthier looking than it is normally19:14
    • It gives you that wash of pigments. It's kind of like translucenty jelly like juicy pouty looking lips19:25
    • It makes it look plumper without actual lip plumpers19:33
    • How pretty does that look on my lips? Like it's just giving me life19:35
    • To me, this kind of smells like a tea scent, like a green tea, a black tea19:40
    • It's a handy gloss just to have in my bag19:45
    • This is just so natural looking, great for everyday19:53
    • Great if I have not much makeup on and I just want something smoothing and hydrating, I'll reach for this19:57
    • If you're okay with like touching up your lips afterwards with your finger or with a brush, then it looks good20:06
    • I think it's a solid product. I think the colors are pretty. I mean, I did get it in all three shades, so yeah, it's solid20:12

    • It's supposed to give you that natural looking faux freckle20:57
    • It actually looks like a stain on the skin as opposed to you dotting eyeliner everywhere20:59
    • This blew up on Tik Tok because it gives you that sun-kissed glow and you don't need like intense makeup artist skills to nail it21:05
    • A good tip is to adjust the pressure on how you apply the dots because then you'll get like more uneven ones21:14
