I think the new set up looks great! 😍 The resolution is so sharp and clear. The lighting isn't as warm as it was before but I actually like it better because it's easier to see detail when you're applying makeup. The sound is perfect! ☺️

Thank you so much for your review. I'm a big fan of the Laura Mercier eye sticks and was really intrigued about these but think I'll stick to those ones. Thanks for saving me some money! X

Thank you for this !! Happy you’re back at it .. can’t wait for all the upcoming videos !! Your sound and lighting is lovely 🥰 enjoy !!

I find I tend to ignore sticks no matter even if they're creamy because on my mature lid I just find it so much harder to make them work and I'm not there for that. Great video as usual Tara 👍

Oh how I love when you save me money!!! I love my Laura Mercier and will stick with them. I also love the shadow sticks from Makeup Forever. Thank you and great review!

I like this setup. You sound perfect, not too loud. The background is pretty.

Great to have you back! Miss your impeccable, detailed comparison videos. No one else comes close to you in that arena. I own a lot of LM and BB sticks and must say I prefer BB as I feel they r creamier and therefore easier to blend. I like the new setup, particularly the sound as it was always a bit too loud for me even when I adjusted the sound on my laptop.

So glad you reviewed the VB eye sticks. I have many of the VB eye pods and eye liners and wanted to know how the new eye sticks compare. Your feedback is truly helpful. Thank you! Also, your background, video, and audio look great. Tania and her husband Andrew really do seem so nice, as you commented. Tania is also very talented! I look forward to your next video.

Everything looks great. You don't sound loud and your lighting looks good! You look beautiful. :)

The lighting looks great! It seems less warm - in a good way. Thank you as always for being so honest Tara. Since I have almost every BB and LM stick, the last thing I need is an addiction to another brand lol. They are so good for mature eyes but the darker mattes tend to be harder to blend, in general. What a shame the HG have such a wonky shape and crumbly texture, for that price?? The gold packaging probably would have sucked me in so thank you for saving me money❣🙏💋 I am getting that lavender VB though 😻💜

Can’t wait for your tons of videos!!! 🎉

I’m loving the new set up Tara!! ❤️ Glad you are back!!

Hi Tara! Everything looks so perfect! Love it!

GREAT comparison video! ❤

Super helpful Tara, as always. Thank you 😊

I bought one LM eyeshadow stick last year and didn’t like the application until I began to use a small flat brush which gave me better control and placement. Then I loved them so much that I purchased 4 more and use them constantly- sometime on their own but mostly in conjunction with powder shadows. They are pigmented enough for me and can be removed with regular non-oily eye makeup remover. ( I use Almay, have for decades because of wearing contacts for many years.) I won’t use anything that causes me to pull or tug on my eyelids. I had heard that the VB ones were beautiful but difficult to remove. I’ll stick with my LM. Great review as usual. Setup, camera and lights look great.

I had my eye on the Victoria Beckham bronze shade. Thanks for showing that it is not as intense. The pink is gorgeous on you. Your set looks great. The sound is just right and you are lit beautifully! Great comparison review. ❤

Dang Tara Lynn...you just saved me from wasting my money!! I was considering getting the Hourglass in Galaxy but I don't want one if they're not as pigmented as I thought. Guess I'll stick to the Bobbi Brown & KVD Dazzle sticks...so thanks!! 🥰💖👍

Love the new setup - like that the lights seem more natural.😀

I go to your videos to decide if i want to invest in bigger makeup purchases!!! Love you and your content

OMG thank you so much!!! I was so excited about these and now I'm pretty meh about both. I think I'll try out the Laura Mercier ones, what are your thoughts on the Bobbi Brown ones? Have you tried them? Thank you so much for this review! Love you and your channel!

Great comparison video, Tara! Thanks! I ordered Macaron & Oyster from VBB & am looking forward to using! I also really like the Laura Mercier ones & Bobbi Brown’s as well :))) Hope you’re doing well, pretty lady🤗🤗

Lighting and camera seems to be working great you look beautiful and that pink shade from VB is stunning 😍

Thanks for taking one for the team. xo

New set up looks cozy! 😊 I actually saw improvement on the quality of the video. Good job! ❤

Everything perfect like always ❤️❤️❤️

Great video Tara. I was contemplating purchasing some of these, however, watching your review plus a couple of others, I think I’ll keep my money! Your new look is fine, however, I love to see your jewellery especially Sydney’s creations, so make sure we see these! 😂😂xxx❤

Thank you for this reveiw. You are the best.

Loving the new setup, and the audio is great 👍

I love the new set up. I think it looks great. I not a stick eyeshadow person so I’m passing on all of them but I enjoyed your review.

Your sound is SO MUCH better now!!! I think I will watch you more because your sound os more pleasant for the ears now. 👂🏻

the set up looks awesome...the sound is great!!!!

Thanks for the comparison with LM. I just recently discovered those (I’m way behind, I know!) and LOVE them. I got a shimmer and a couple of mattes from VBB and tbh I like the LM better, too. I am curious about the LM mattes. Have you tried them?

I think the new set up is perfect. Perfect balance of warm and cool. Bright clear crisp. I wouldn’t change a thing. Can hear you just fine as well.

Love the new set up love! Change always good! ❤

Love your new set up! Love the background, love the lighting, and image is super clear 👌🏼 Soumd is quite good, only thing I noticed is sometimes when you raised your voice there was a slight buzz or hum sound (I’m wearing earbuds to listen/watch). But it’s so subtle and only happened a couple times, really not a big deal - just sharing cuz you asked :) overall I think it’s great! And thanks for your review and comparisons,…super helpful!

Love the lighting and brightness of the new setup! Would it be possible to unblur the background? Having both ways in the video I noticed I was a bit distracted by it. I’ll go with the majority though!

Hey Tara..everything looks perfect 🤩 👌👍

The video looks great!!!!

Everything looks pretty. Do did a great job. I am wondering if I need my glasses or not, but that happens a lot. lol

Hi Tara, which one would you purchase if I wanted to wear one as an eyeliner as well as a shadow? Love your reviews 💕💕💕

New setup is very nice. Sorry you took a hit with those shadow sticks, thanks for sparing us! 🙂🙏🏼❤

Looks great to me! ❤

So good to see you sweetie Missed you, I think I will need to get used to the new set up so new and different. I think my biggest request will be for your videos to reflect natural colors as much as possible. I think trying to match the image to the real in person colors will be the ideal set up and video image for us that want to see the way items perform and the true colors and shades.

Love VB I want the shades oyster and caramel! I also love the LM - Hourglass not so much 😕

Your new set up is perfect..make you more beautiful..and make me want to watch your video more..

I think everything looks better, so clear and beautiful. Can you tell us what camera/lens you bought?

Hello Tara, I like the new setting in the background. And your mic sounds good. My personal opinion the coloring is a tad off. It is making your skin look more olive. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this as well. But, that’s probably just a little tweaking that you’d have to do to make you look like your normal complexion. ♥️

Love it ❤

In terms of staying power across the three brands (LM, VB, and Hourglass), is one better than the others? I have hooded, oily eyelids which is why I was initially drawn to the new eyeshadow sticks.

I love that pink VB shade on you…I don’t know if it will match my skin tone tho!!

I like the new set up. It is warmer.

I had the same issue with the pecan shade from VB beauty. It was horrible.

Outstanding

Now I am worried. I ordered the pecan and green bottle. Do you know what their return policy is like? Thank you for your review 🙂

Your eyelashes are so beautifully curled. What eyelash curler do you use?

I am actually wearing the Lashify lashes in style Curl plus 😁 They're so natural, you can't tell they're fake. They last me 5-7 days. I did a full video on them, going into detail on how I apply them. But, to answer your question. My absolute FAVORITE lash curler is the one from Rephr. That one is the best I've used, and I've used so many different brands😁❤️ Here is the link to the one from Rephr rephr.com/?vr=rewqwr

thank you, Tara

Love your honesty so much! Sending love from Israel ❤🇮🇱

Thank you for this review Tara. What was the wear time like for the VB sticks? I've heard they don't budge once applied? Have you tried applying pecan by picking up from the brush first, rather than applying directly to the skin & then blending out. I'm curious as to whether this makes a difference?

@TaraLynnbeauty

Жыл бұрын

That is very true. They definitely stay put. Regarding the pecan shade, I have tried that, but the formula isn't Creamy enough to pick up with a brush. 🤷‍♀️ it's definitely not an easy shade to blend. Which is a bummer because it's such a great shade. Someone else in the comment said they had the same struggles with that shade, glad I'm not the only one lol. 😁 Thanks for watching, really appreciate it 🙏

I had the SAME experience with Pecan! I will use it for lower last line but otherwise… I don’t like it. I’m disappointed! When I used it in my crease I also felt like it stayed sticky feeling all day. Such a yucky feeling! I also find they set pretty quickly, so you definitely need to do one eye at a time.

I want you to compare Juvias place radiant foundation to hourglass radiant foundation

Hi Tara, I do have hooded eyes and I am interested in the most resilient eye shadow stick formula. What is your opinion on that?

They're all pretty long wearing. I never had any issues with them fading. 😁 I would choose based on the colors and finish you are looking for😁❤️ The laura mercier and Bobbi Brown have tons of shade options. I used to just one from Bobbi Brown, but I threw it out last year, it was old lol. But, it was a nice formula and they're highly rated😁 Hope that helps❤️

I’m sorry you had technical issues and had to buy a new camera. What a pain. I think the new set up is great though-so lemonade out of lemons. 😉🙂 I think the volume is good too. I could hear you clearly and I don’t use headphones. 🙂 I probably won’t be picking these up or at least not any time soon. I just haven’t been in the mood for cream shadows lately.

Loving the new set up, looks amazing. I think the VB beauty shadow sticks just look more special to me. Loved this review 🤍

Well those were a disappointment huh? I have one of the caviar eye sticks, so I’m going to have to retry it. I have such hooded lids that the creasing is a real struggle

I also have the same with pecan, however i find it the most beautifull brown shade that is so pretty, but its not blending, its patchy, and i have to drag my eye to get it good, so dissapointed, another reviewer said it was good so maybe we had a bad one?

May I ask which camera and lens you bought. I love the film quality

I have used it several times since this video went up, and I still can't get it to blend. I've tried several ways, and it's just not Creamy enough to have an even blend. It works great on the lower Lash line, and to add some color to the lid. But, in the crease, it's really hard to use🤷‍♀️❤️ I'm with you. That was the color (and the pink one) i was just excited about🤷‍♀️ Thanks for watching❤️❤️

Unpopular opinion, I did not like the pink. It looks cheap and chalky. Great review as always!
