I think the shrek ears are adorable diddly-bopping around during the makeup application!! I think we should get to see them interchangeably with the bear ears!

As a general rule, a silica-based product should never be marketed as "photo-ready." Camera-ready, as in HD videography would make sense, but silica is the first ingredient artists are told to avoid when it comes to flashback.

I feel like this video proves people leaving reviews don’t know how to read directions

Is there a brand you prefer? I’m in the bad hand club, too, and while I normally go for smudgy goth (lean into whatcha got, right?), I’d like the ability to do falsies sometimes…

That palette looks more cool toned than the picture, and also more cool toned than I would expect from a palette is supposed to be amber tones.

I use that Nyx powder most of the time, and have deep dark skin. I think you do need to use a setting spray to avoid the 📸 back. I will say I have also added some of my matte foundation powder to the container to make sure the color doesn't do me wrong after using a different company in a rush.

just found you recently and my goodness, ma'am. You are a DELIGHT. Thank you for taking all this time and suffering through some of this nonsense to help us make wise and educated purchases :)

25:24 Watching Jen put the magnetic eyeliner on was traumatizing for me. I have tried them once in my life and did not pay close enough attention to how thin the liner was and the liner went into my eye, and I received chemical burns to my eyeball. I threw that away and have never touched them again. I am stressing out watching her put it on! I even think it was the same exact brand and type that gave me chemical burns. Edit: I re-watched my video on Twitter that I posted about this and it is not the same brand. The brand I used (that injured me) was KISS brand.

@J_Mock92

Жыл бұрын

That doesn't have anything to do with the "magnetic" aspect of the liner. There's nothing making the liner "magnetic" that would, or even could cause "chemical burns." The only reason they are magnetic is because of the high concentration of iron oxides (which are present in almost every single tinted cosmetic on the market). That was clearly an issue with some other ingredient in the individual product you used.... Not trying to belittle your experience, but I'm just saying 🤷

Jen, come on... for science you need to be CRYING for the waterproof testing portion. LOL I also laughed because when I saw the 'it's so bad!' comment on your thumbnail, I HEARD it in your actual voice.

I think the Shrek ears are super cute! I've used the NYX powder for yrs and never had a problem. It's a little 'dusty' when you first open a new one..but it's a good powder. (My phone has a flash) I love a good eye & face primer so this was interesting. 😊

The Shrek ears are a hoot. The CP Cheek Dew does separate a bit after a while, but it just needs to be shaken and it’s fine.

Ulta never gives me samples or goodie bags or anything. Either nothing I bought has a free gift or they're out of the free gifts. I literally spend thousands and thousands of dollars there and it makes me uncomfortably angry

The biggest mistake Benefit ever made was discontinuing Hello Flawless and replacing it with Hello Happy. The Hello Flawless powder foundation was absolutely amazing. It was so lightweight and it felt like nothing was on your skin.

Yesss.. I'm so happy you are doing an Ulta version of this video. I loved the first. So fun! Thank you Jen 😊 See you Sunday for WUIM and Live chat 🩷

I liked the Shrek ears. You wearing them made me smile😊

Although I have no problem taking you seriously as you are one of the most trustworthy KZreadrs I watch but when someone is in any Shrek attire, I know I can take them seriously. Love me some Shrek. 😂💚🖤

Been watching you for years when you were Jen luvs reviews. Love how your content has evolved.

I literally laughed out loud! I LOVE those shriek ears!!

So, with the magnetic lashes, you can wait for it to dry 100%. This will prevent the lashes from pulling off the liner and sticking to the magnet. Also, I buy the Demi-wispies that only have 3 magnets so I don’t have to cut them at all. I think magnetic lashes are brilliant and there are lots of different types of magnetic liner (including the potted kind that you can use with your own brush of choice).

Love the stila lip colours themselves, but absolutely hate their formula! So messy to apply and so very drying and cakey.

You’re so delightful, like actually You feel so real and genuine and it’s so nice and I love your style of videos and how bubbly you come off

I think the cheek dews are just extremely inconsistent. I bought 3 in one order and 2 of them arrived separated, and no matter how much I shake those just slightly tinted oil comes out. It’s too wet so it not only removes base makeup but even on bare skin, everytime you pat it while blending it gets picked up and moved around so you end up with a ring of slight pigment with none in the middle. The 1 I got that wasn’t separated still has not separated (about a year later) and is a much thicker formula. Still not a great product but it actually works

Ulta has bear ears. I bought them and love them. I also bought a Mickey Mouse headband from Amazon. You should be able to take a flash photo with your cellphone.

Jen- I loved the Shrek ears but also understand they could be slightly embarrassing.

Love your makeup Jen, those soft cool, rose(ish) colours really suit you. I'm obsessed with tie/dye, your top is a major hit!

The Shrek ears are killing me😂😂😂

I love the music you play during the application process of your videos.

I actually really like those magnetic lashes. I always put down a regular liner first, to get my actual liner look (because the magnetic liner breaks up throughout the day), then put the magnetic liner down just at the very base of my lashes (almost on my lashes themselves), so that it doesn't go above the regular liner. I don't have to trim the lash all the way down to the second magnet for them to still lay correctly, but you can also stack the trimmed part on top of the magnet-less end, and it anchors the lash down in place.

Always love these videos but an idea you could throw in is buying the worst rated or best rated brush sets and only using them during the worst and best videos to get an idea of brush sets! Just an idea for you! Definitely like to know good and bad brushes.

I love these videos. Love when you do makeup videos. You show us a normal honest person we can relate to. Thank you

White powders like that can look good in person, but they are not flash photo friendly. This was discovered when one went viral years and years ago.

Loved this! But - as far as Tarte goes, I’m now believing that they are bent on losing their longtime customers. Just yesterday I emailed them asking about my favorite lip product of all time; was told it’s been discontinued. That’s 4-5 discontinuations of really highly rated products since I started with them. They just don’t care what their customers love, and obviously don’t bother reading the reviews left on THEIR site. So…I’m back to searching. Truly breaks my heart - the items in question were SO GOOD!!

Yea girl! Tarte has been losing me too lately. I used to buy all their tartiest matte lip paints and now none of their lip products have staying power like the lip paints did they just keep coming out with glosses or other lip products. I’ve now bought matte lip products from Bare Minerals and Milani and am happy with their performance. Tarte keeps putting out products I’m just not interested in!

That MAC Palette is full on a completely different palette. There’s no shimmers in the photo!

I love how thorough you are. I have loved this video so much

Great video! I have the NYX HD powder and I like to mix it in my bare minerals powder foundation to lighten it up for my winter complexion. I bet it would work well with any loose powder foundation.

Yay for finding the bear ears!! 🎉🎉🎉 loved this so much Jen! you are truly such a tremendous help and thank you for dedicating so much time! ❤ ❤❤

Jenn I really love ur reviews being an international viewer you give me so much more insight to what's good and what's not worth it thank you so much ❤ Love you ❤

I know the lipstick was horrible, but I loved the color on you, Jen!

That lip color is very pretty though!

The Ulta brow tint was something I used everyday but they changed the wand, and now it’s just odd to use. It Was a good product.

I’m sorry Jen maybe the brow products weren’t ideal for u buuuut man ur brows look so so good lol I can’t stop staring at em hahah

I was so excited for the Stila lipsticks. I love their liquid lipsticks, so I thought they’d be comfortable like those. I searched a couple of colors on my hand and my hand felt soooo dry and tight. I can only imagine how it would feel on the lips!

I do not feel guilty about returning. If I purchased in good faith based on the description or a one time sample and it sucked, back it goes.

I think your brows turned out really good Jen!!!

The blush is pretty!!! I love a sheer dewy blush it’s pretty!! And the highlighter looks nice and natural I like it looks pretty also lol

I love the original Maneater mascara for lower lashline. I will also use it if I'm doing a no makeup makeup look. I won't pay full price though!

The Clinique eye primer doesn’t work on dry eyelids. Powder eyeshadow just disappears when I used it.

I have the Colourpop eye primer and I thought it was just me who hated it! So glad to hear this...and I can't recall if I got it at Ulta or Target so I can't return...I guess I wasted $10 bucks.

The cheek dews work really good as a layering product, so what I do is I apply that first if I'm wearing it that day I'll let it sit and then I will put powder blush on top of it

Love love love this series!!!!!

I really enjoyed this series of videos. I’d love to see you trying the best rated products next

Putting concealer on with my fingers is my favorite lol but I tap tap tap I don’t swipe…turns out much smoother u gotta try the physicians formula butter concealer it’s beautiful on textured under eyes and surprisingly doesn’t crease which is great cuz I hate powder lol so my under eyes look more youthful with it!!!

Hey Jen. Regarding the removal of the stubborn eyeliner, I would use micellar water to help remove that.😊

I freaking LOVE ColourPop Cheek Dew. The separation issue is definitely from it being open over time. I found it happening after a couple of months. Shaking it and gently squeezing from the sides of the tube will mix it back together. That's not something a customer should have to do, but I like it enough to deal with it. ETA: I also don't need it to last "all day"; on the reg I wear makeup probably 5 hours. (I can't afford to try or invest in a lot of products and I prefer liquid blushes, so CP is it until it's not.)

Uff the NYX powder, it was the first powder I bought for setting g my concealer when I got into makeup. I thought NYX can't got wrong. I hated it.

I don't typically return makeup either but I returned the makeup by Mario foundation.

The take remove waterproof mascara and possibly the magnetic lash eyeliner you should try a bi-facil cleanser like the one from Lancome. I find balm cleansers horrible at removing waterproof mascara and that is all I wear. Great video! ❤

I love these videos. The Maneater is just okay. The eyeshadow looked good. Have a great weekend. Mad love ❌️⭕️

I remember trying that NYX powder. I’m not a fan. I’m as light as light can be. It looked ashy on me. Not to mention, it didn’t matter where I put it or how- it looked dry and highlighted texture on my skin everywhere. It just was a big no.

The way I GASPED when I saw the picture of that Mac palette! That is a total catfish of a palette

Oh, Stila. I used to love their products, especially their powder foundation. It’s sad how cool brands go downhill as soon as Estée Lauder buys them. It always seems to be Lauder.

I love these videos, however, what’s the worst for some person is not the worst for others. As for your remark about you not liking to return anything, I am one of those people. I will return anything even a two dollar lipstick if I don’t like it. So many of the times that I’m in Ulta or Sephora, where even if they have a tester, the lighting is so horrendous in MY local stores that I don’t actually know what it looks like until l I take it home put it on in my bathroom ,which has natural lightbulbs. I spent half my time in those stores looking for a light that might show what the actual color is going to be when I get outside or in a different light. So to my point, I return everything .I realize you may be able to take it as a tax write off due to it being purchased for your channel but I Can’t do that , so every penny I put into make up that doesn’t perform And I don’t like and it goes in the bin comes out of my pocket. I wish I could speak to the store designers because it would be an extremely simple job to put a couple of stations in their stores where you have a light fixture that’s number one , adjustable for the different lights we might encounter, and two bright enough for you to see how the product will really look

Tax write off doesn't mean it's free! I still have to PAY for the products! It comes down to that I don't like wasting. I bought the products knowing they had bad reviews. To me, it's irresponsible to buy a bunch of stuff and then return it just to have it go in the trash somewhere. Because of that I try to return as little as possible, even when the video is about negatively reviewed products. Hope this helps!

I absolutely love the NYX powder - I use it so much it's actually one of my subscription items on Amazon. I've never had an issue with flash - maybe the amount used is what's making the difference? Or maybe it has something to do with having very oily skin vs having drier skin. By the way it's also amazing as a dry shampoo powder.

I personally believe it has something to do with pressing the powder in with a sponge as opposed to brushing it on with a brush. I’m pretty pale and have to use white powders a lot and I believe that tends to be the issue with using too much on the skin.

The Colourpop eye primer is like cottage cheese 😅

Micellar water, cotton round or reusable round hold on eyes 20-30 seconds then gently rub. B4 using your cleaning balm. Always with mascara and liner.

I love these reviews and enjoyed so much relaxing after a long week and watching :)

❤ I'm always super late with my comment, but it pretty much is who I am. 😂 Ok, the Maneater mascara is a fave of mine since the Maneater palette came out last year! 😅 It's not a super volume formula, but my lashes remain separated and pretty. The one I find "Ulta problematic" is the new waterproof IT! (blue tube) I swear 3x it left a 🐼 wet mascara panda face. For $28, I only kept it for 2 free full sized promo products offered!! 😢🤓

I like all Tarte mascara. Lights Canera lashes or whatever it’s called is by far the best. I like the Maneater mascara but found it gets quite gloopy or clumpy towards the end of its life IMO. Stops you from using it too long i suppose. I’m currently using the Shape Tape tubing mascara. It’s meh! But i compare all tubing mascaras to Thrive Causemetics mascara which is my number 1 mascara.

I got one of those pink and white sponges. I freakin love it! It’s all I want to use.

Some magnetic lashes are better than others. Good ones will have more magnets so you can measure them to your eyes. Magnetic liners should be interchangeable lol. Idk I liked the mlm tori belle lashes but I don't like mlms anymore lol.

The MAC palette looks nothing like the photo. I only buy warm tones and I would have returned that the second I opened it. That is a cool tone palette.

Whenever I buy new makeup I use it with the stuff I already use. That way I can see if it works for me. If I have a new primer I use my usual makeup. Speaking of primer I bought a color pop primer and it SUCKED. I think it’s the same collection as the eye primer. Checks out!
