@@hannahwillams9602 Yes, that’s it, Jasmine! I was trying to search the character, thanks!
I used to think that skincare in makeup was just a marketing thing, until I used the elf primer with niacinamide. My skin started randomly looking better and I was confused. Then I realized it was the only change I had made. It made a big difference for me! I ended up adding a more potent niacinamide in my skincare routine - but I credit the elf primer for introducing me to an ingredient than changed my skin!

Love this series! It is so nice to hear long term what works and what doesn't. Anybody can do new releases and have that honeymoon phase, but wearing it multiple times is where the rubber meets the road. A+ Jessica!
The "dirty talk" shade in that lipstick is my personal fav! Now we need to see you do a comparison of the Supergoop unseen sunscreen and the new elf invisible sunscreen! And try the elf sunscreen spray throughout the day over your makeup and let us know how that works out!! ❤❤❤

I always have all of that in my purse
I always bring a bag of my makeup with me everywhere for touch ups. Especially lip sticks or gloss, cause that's usually the first thing to go.
Talk about a throwback! This is how i found you back in 2013. ELF for the win! So lucky to have been along for the journey for so long :)
The shade Dirty Talk in the elf lipstick is beautiful!
I totally agree with you - I hate the way the camo CC cream looks, which is especially a bummer because it's $15!
The elf flawless foundation is so good. I’ve been through a whole bottle in like 4 months which is crazy (Note: the bottle is a lot smaller than a traditional foundations). My favorite way to use it is mixed with Asian style sunscreens to make a tinted sunscreen.
I'm a teacher, too, and I always have a lipstick and blotting paper on my desk in the staffroom, but nothing else. Loving this series, thank you❤❤❤
Everyone loved the camo foundation and I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY!!! Thank you for validating my feelings!!
The Woah Glow sunscreen did for sure cause pimples. I stopped using it for awhile and they stopped, thought I’d try again and it broke me out again. I do not have sensitive skin and hardly ever get breakouts.

Same for me. I don’t have breakout prone skin either. It was a bummer
For the O face lipsticks, try Dirty Talk. Too light for my medium yellow-olive skin but would be a lovely everyday lip for you! (No Doubt fits me better)
Thank you, thank you, thank you Jessica for always commenting (in a detailed manner) on the scents of products for those "smell sensitive" among us 😊
Yes!! Absolutely have a makeup bag for touch ups at work. It’s a must have for me.

I have one for uni haha I never get around to using it. I should though my eyelids get real oily 😅 needs powder
I really like the finish and coverage of the Elf Flawless Satin foundation, but the scent gives me a headache so I can't use it. And I'm not particularly or overly sensitive to scents in products. There is just something in the fragrance that triggers a headache for me. I really enjoy the Hydrating Camo Concealer (I don't have the same issues that you described to be honest), but the CC Cream is horrible (I did experience the same issues as you). The Primer-Infused powders are excellent. The Elf Lash N Roll mascara is the best mascara Elf has ever made. The Halo Glow Liquid Filter is also so good and I agree that it does have some coverage! I really like the new undereye corrector/brightener. I do have the fair shade which is more pink and it definitely brightens! Now I don't have a ton of discoloration under my eyes so I can't speak to how well it truly correct darkness. Elf doesn't really have a brow product that is the right color for me tbh (anything light enough is too warm on me), but thankfully Wet N Wild does (ash brown) and it's super affordable as well. The Putty Bronzers blend away to nothing on my skin and the putty blushes are patchy af.
I wear almost all ELF every day so of course I clicked this video immediately! I totally agreed with you on almost everything! The halo glow liquid filter is my holy grail! It is perfection! Superb video Jessica!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This video was “ADD TO CART” full of goodies! Love them!
I LOVE that blending brush! I have 2 of them and want MORE!
If I have a make up bag at work I rarely use it. But I do keep mascara and an eye brow pencil in my car. The brow pencil gets used regularly for touch ups. The mascara is priceless when I somehow forget to put it on 😂
I'm watching this in my background at work and it's just so soothing! You're amazing woman. Don't ever stop making your videos.
I am a teacher, and I do keep a total face of makeup! I just started my 33rd year, and I almost always do my makeup at school because my skincare products need to soak in on my drive in.
I couldn’t disagree more about the elf eyeshadow primer! It works amazing and keeps eyeshadow on my oily hooded lids all day without creasing. Even glitter stays on until I scrub it off at the end of the night. But yea the concealers really suck.
Thanks so much for doing this series! I love your content and I wanted to say I love the Elf lipstick in the shade " Dirty Talk" I think it's meant to be a dupe for pillow talk and I love that shade of pink Xoxo
Thank you for doing this! I am a teacher and do my makeup at like 5 am and really need things to last and need little maintenance because who has time to do a ton of touch ups. I don’t keep a little makeup bag but I think I shall start doing that. I have all sorts of other essentials in my classroom like deodorant and such so a small makeup bag should just be just be a natural addition. I appreciate you!!! 💛
I love how relatable Jess is❤❤
Ultimate blending brusb from elf is AWESOME 😂❤
I'm enjoying this series great video jess
You look stunning today, Jess!! Everything is just absolutely working for you, including the blue headband! I had never considered using Elf anything until I started watching KZread videos a little over a year ago, around the end of your pregnancy, and I am shocked by how many of their products I actually like, some I even love!! The Holy Hydration moisturizer is my summertime go to. I had always worn high end makeup and was coming off of a several year love affair with It Cosmetics and, dang, but can the drugstore compete! And Elf is right up there! I really enjoy your full face of videos. Actually I enjoy ALL of your videos! I am 62 and you are by far my favorite KZreadr!! Your puff pastry pizza is on my to do list. Thanks for all!!
I've been binging your videos and I just love the vibe you give off ❤ Something about choosing the products that works for you and your daily life just makes me feel good. Kind of breaking away from what we see on social media and trying to curate your own routine/system. I'm so bad at getting rid of stuff I know I won't use so seeing you do it is very refreshing 🤣
Jess I see you channeling Jasmine with that headband! ❤❤❤
Loving this series!!!!!
This was FANTABULOUS 🥰. Thank you beautiful Jess! Looking forward to the next in this series😊 Xo 🇨🇦
My favorite colors in the glossy lip stain are Power Mauves and Spicy Sienna
Thank you, Jessica!! Excellent information. ❤
The nails, the lipstick, and the eyeshadow all being mauve just looks amazing ❤ Amazing video!!
I’m a Disney cast member and I DEFINITELY carry makeup with me to work. Whether I need to touch up because I’m constantly in go mode in this ridiculous Florida weather, or it’s just one of those days where I do some makeup and leave myself the option to add more later depending on how the day goes, I almost never go without at least a lip gloss and some eye pencils😂
Love your channel Jess! Your format🎉is comfortable and I love listening to what you have to say
Jessica, I enjoy your videos over so many others! You appeal to such a variety of age groups who love makeup and fashion. Love your adorable sense of humor and I relate as a retired teacher but now realtor- and yes, I keep a makeup bag EVERYWHERE even in my car! You are more beautiful with each video!
I'm so excited! I love elf products!
I always love me a good elf makeup vid!
Such a good video. ELF are killing it right now & have some really great products. I'm loving the new primer & the brow lift & tool are sooooo good.
Notification squad!! Earliest I’ve ever been for a Jess video and I’m so excited
I’m OBSESSED with the flawless brighten concealer! It’s great for everyday light coverage that I can use without foundation
Jess, Thanks for another super helpful product vid! I actually look for your opinion on products before I buy them, you are always honest and informative! I love Elf and Essence along with other “ drugstore “ product lines, there is really no need to spend A fortune anymore for great quality! ❤
Really enjoyed that! Emma x
Totally agree on the brushes. The eyeshadow 'C' brush is also amazing and hooded eye friendly
The color combo of your hair color, together with the black top and blue headband is soooo beautiful, the thumbnail really caught my eye, you look amazing! ❤

Agree. Elf somehow gets a lot right. I feel like other drugstore brands are more hit or miss. I have a lot of high end makeup but reach for elf often.
Thanks Jess! This was super helpful. You didn’t talk about the halo glow powder, but it is one of my ride or die products in the summer…the perfect amount of glow, but does everything a powder is supposed to.
I keep a makeup bag at work for touch ups and for those mornings when I get to work and discover that I forgot to put on my brows or mascara 😂
Will watch you forever. Always will ❤your videos.
I love their crease brush! And, I have a ton of brushes and appreciate this one the most. ❤
Your headband is so adorable. I love knotted headbands. I have quite a collection myself. You should do a headband collection video
Thanks so much for this! I’ve tried Elf because of your recommendation and I’ve loved some!!!

You got me hooked on the Misha BB Cream a long time ago and I absolutely love it! Kind of want to try the Satin foundation now though
Thanks for posting on my birthday!!🥳
Excellent series ❤❤
I love your floor videos ❤ it feels like a sleepover
I keep a small makeup bag at work. Powder, lipstick, balm, handcream toothbrush, perfume and deodorant.
Jess, I so agree with you about the cc cream. I have never had a product that would just sit on top of my skin, never sink in and looking so crusty only an hour after putting it on.
My daughter introduced me to your channel and WOW! Your energy is infectious and I purchased some of the recommendations from this video - as advertised! Fun. Your channel is fun! ❤🎉❤
Jessie, I love this type of video and have purchased many items on your recommendation
I love the blonde moment Jess!

I love the pallet elf shadows!

I recently just tried the CC Cream for the first time and actually really enjoyed it! Did well during a looooong day in heat here in a Colorado/ Wyoming. When I was working, I used to keep a makeup bag in my purse! Now I only do if I'm going to be out for a long time/ at an event of sorts. Love you Jess! 🩷🫶🏻🌻🪷

Hi Jess, love Elf, thanks for this! I’m retired now, but yes I always kept a makeup bag at work. ❤
I looooooove the camo cc. It does look a little crazy but my sponge brings it back to life and my skin looks better the longer I use it
I agree! I too hate the camo concealers. Everyone raved about them. I tried the original and then the hydrating and still they look so dry! I don't love the powder foundation for the same reason. I continue to try them but i think I've just come to the conclusion i don't like powder foundations at all. I did not feel like the O lipstick were hydrating. They felt super dry to me so that got thrown in a drawer. Again, so many better lipsticks out there.
