This New Drugstore Makeup Left Me SPEECHLESS (L'Oreal Cushion Foundation, Maybelline Sky Tubes)
Infallible Cushion Foundationshade · 130 Warm- “Definitely a thin formula, and not only is it a thin formula, but you really don't need to apply a lot”▶ 3:28
- “Right now, I actually really like the finish”▶ 4:06
- “This seems to be layering and blending with this cream formula very well”▶ 5:09
- “The coverage is intact. I don't feel like I lost one little iota of coverage. It is not looking faded anywhere. It's not looking patchy anywhere. It's looking so smooth”▶ 14:53
- “There is no creasing. Zero creasing in my laugh lines, in my elevens, and in my forehead lines. Nothing”▶ 15:12
- “I genuinely feel like I could wear this foundation for another several hours”▶ 15:35
- “I just think this looks so natural on the skin while still evening everything out”
- “It does seem to help smooth out my pores, especially on my nose”
- “I'm floored. Still no bunching in my laugh lines. There's not even wear around my nostrils”
- “I could wear this for another 6 hours, I feel. I mean, it does claim up to 24 hours and so far this is one of few foundations where I actually believe the claim. Maybe the only one”
- “I would say this foundation's worth it”
- “I'm not sure if there's a perfect shade match for me in this range though. So, I think that might be the main con”▶ 15:29
- “It is a pretty high cost per ounce”
- “Obviously, looking shiny on my forehead”▶ 14:44
Versed$15.99Everything Balm Complexion Colorshade · Canyon- “I like that it's not super strong. I think we romanticize and overly pigmented products”▶ 5:50
- “This is definitely adding a little bit more glow back to my face after that soft matte foundation”▶ 6:14
- “I love that it's not tugging the foundation out of place, which says more about the foundation, but the formula is very very light and works well. Works well with others”▶ 6:22
- “I feel like my skin and complexion today is giving high-end”▶ 8:13
- “Like the Versed Everything Balm, that still looks beautiful on my skin”
- “This glow is not sticky. So, this does dry down. It doesn't stay feeling creamy on your face. Sometimes with balmy products, they just stay feeling kind of tacky. This actually did set, but the glow's still there”▶ 15:51
- “My bronzer and blush still look incredibly smooth on top of the foundation”
Maybelline$13.99- “Okay, this is actually building up really well. No clumpiness”▶ 9:55
- “I have definitely built up the length”
- “I do think that it took away some of my actual curl. The lashes are lifted, but they're sort of lifted at a 45° angle and not curling”▶ 10:16
- “I noticed my first mascara flake. Devastating because I don't know how long that's been sitting on my face”▶ 13:08
- “All day I felt like I needed to stay on top of checking my makeup because I was getting pretty noticeable flakes under my eyes”▶ 13:31
- “To be honest, that is enough for me to not want to purchase this mascara or even really reach for it. If I cannot rely on it staying where it's supposed to be, I don't want to take the chance”▶ 13:48
- “I was able to slip this mascara off of my lashes using just warm water”
- “I did experience some smearing in my under eye area though, and I would say that it removed more so in clumps versus like clean tubes”▶ 14:07
- “I could probably deal with my lashes flattening out a bit, but I cannot deal with flaking”▶ 22:09
ColourPop$10.00Hyper Shine Glossy Lipstickshade · Melrose Place- “Oh, I did not expect it to be that pigmented. I was expecting like a tinted lip balm situation”▶ 11:40
- “This feels really good on the lips though”
- “This kind of just smooths everything over and does make it very glossy”▶ 12:02
- “I am intrigued by the fact that it has so much pigment to it cuz I feel like a lot of these moisturizing, you know, lip balm color combos are always just like a hint of a color”▶ 12:13
- “I actually am so glad that I wore this today because I'm loving this formula. It is so comfortable on the lips and the shade did end up slightly staining my lips”▶ 16:07
- “Even after the shine has worn off, I've been eating, I've been drinking out of a straw, it never left me with a bare lip look”▶ 16:15
- “This is a really good in-between product because I can get more color out of it like a lipstick, but if I just dab it, I get this kind of tinted balm effect”▶ 16:36
Essence$3.998h Matte Comfort Liplinershade · Mauve Mirage- “It feels stiff, but it's still gliding without tugging on my lips”▶ 18:10
- “This is actually a really good kind of in-between formula feel”
- “For a matte finish, it's not like a crusty matte and it's not accentuating my lip texture or lines for that matter”▶ 18:38
- “Oh, I like this”
- “Okay, for four bucks, I'm impressed so far”
- “I really like this. I mean, I did have to reapply it after lunch. I had pasta for lunch. It had an oily kind of sauce on it. Not surprising at all, it is waterproof, not oil-proof”▶ 20:02
- “It did stay comfortable all day. It didn't really feel super dry on the lips, and it was easy to reapply. It didn't get crusty”▶ 20:12
- “$4 lip liner, totally worth it”▶ 20:20
- “I used to only use it for special events though, like when I really needed a waterproof brow that was going to stick on. Now I'm just using it every day”▶ 6:49
- “This used to really be my not only special event brow product, but like my vacation brow product. Anytime I was going somewhere where I knew I was going to be like on the go all day, in the heat, in the humidity”▶ 7:12
- “This goes on sale enough where you can definitely get it at a drugstore price point a few times a year and I just stock up”▶ 7:25
Benefit Cosmetics$28.00- “I like that it keeps my brows in without making them look all crusty and stiff”▶ 7:36
ColourPop$10.00Bronze Stixshade · Laguna Beach- “I have been using so many more luminous, glowy cream products and liquid products as well. So, finding that compatibility within my routine so that all of the products kind of melt together and it doesn't look like one is sitting on top of another”▶ 4:46
About-Face$22Curtain Call Set & Smooth Loose Powdershade · Veil- “Setting with powder definitely helped me stay more balanced. There is for sure less shine today”▶ 19:37
L'Oreal Paris$18.99- “One of my absolute favorite drugstore foundations, or probably my favorite drugstore foundation, period, is the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Fresh Wear foundation”▶ 0:57
- “It is the foundation that I reach for for special events, when I need my makeup to go from day to night, and particularly when I know I'm going to be sweating”▶ 1:11
- no still
