So true. She dominates. We ladies are spoiled! She’s saved me so much money!

I honestly cannot think of a single person on KZread (or anywhere) that does it better than Jen when it comes to these kinds of videos. So many details and observations with every single example. Even though we are just talking about fun makeup, Jen really shows just how smart she is in general with the way she analyzes and delivers info. Definitely a very bright (and honest) woman. 👍👍 👑

Thank you for pronouncing yucca correctly!! It's been bugging me that others are not saying it right. The yucca plant grows here abundantly so I've know that plant a while and this palette makes sense in its color story.

I'm so happy that you did this. End the year with a bang! I'm thankful that you aren't driven by sponsorship/pr by the hi-end brands and always give your honest opinion. Happy new year to you & your family! I'm so very thankful for you !

The Queen of Dupes 👑👸 Jen, you always come with fresh content and the dupes are insane recommendations!!! Thank you for saving us ladies some cash! Happy New Year🎉

0:13 I have a ton of Revlon lipsticks and I love them. My understanding is they are the number one selling lipstick in the United States. So, whether influencers like them or not, consumers are smart enough to pick a Revlon Lipstick @ 9.99 instead of the average lipstick price point being 39.00. Thank you Jen for the information.

I just love how you do comparison swatches! I know that takes work but it is appreciated... It really shows the similarities... Even when each color doesn't match, to my eye it looks so similar there's no difference. Thank you Jen, Happy New Year!

You're radiating. This green eyeshadow flatters you. Thank you for your all year work, honesty and kindness.

Omg I love you for the clarification of yucca. I grew up with my Colombian mother pronouncing it yoo- (or joo) ca and thought everyone was butchering this palette name! I didn’t know the root vegetable was different from the plant! 🌱 😂

5 years?! Feels like I've been watching you even longer, probably because your dedication makes it seem that way. Excited for more! Happy New Year in advance!

A new Revlon blush you might want to check out is: Oh Baby- Very soft - just the slightest soft neutral pink. I got one and a backup 😂

I've always loved that Revlon bronzer. I truly hope they don't go bankrupt 😢

Which Revlon bronzer? You mean the Skinlights highlighter? I just want to make sure I didn’t miss something lol.

Alter Ego has some amazing palettes. My husband got me the Rose Quartz palette for Mother's day. Fairly quickly I had hit pan in several shades. I saw the positive reviews on Coastal so I ordered that along with Midsummer because I was afraid I'd pan Rose Quartz the way I was going through it lol. I swatched some of the special texture shades from Rose Quartz (like Moon Magic) next to the Alter Ego version and asked my husband which one he thought was Huda's. He picked the Alter Ego one. (Used your code too, Jen). I need more Alter Ego palettes lol. Waiting on Pretty Grunge to arrive (Christmas present from my husband). Thoroughly love your channel, Jen. Love that you put awatches in your b roll. Really, really appreciate it. Happy new year! -Klarissa

Jenn thanks for a great year. Watching you has been so therapeutic for me to just escape from the stress of being a caregiver to my mom who has Alzheimer’s. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!

For real, I had no idea that was a Yucca dupe! I’ve been eyeing Odens Eye for months, and really want to try them. I may have to buy that dupe palette now 😊

Our queen of dupes and amazing content 👸👑 ❤ I appreciate your dedication to your channel and to your subscribers 😊 Happy New Year 2024🎉🎉

Hi Jen, thank you for doing this video, I very much appreciate all your work you put into this video. Love Katherine xoxo

You schooled us on the word Yucca! I love it !

random, but i love how you often match your eye look to your outfit. your makeup is always super cohesive. i don’t have the motivation to match things like you do 😂❤

Thank you for a great year Jen! I appreciate you. Happy New Year!!🎉❤😊

I absolutely love the Moira powder, it sits on my under eyes just like urban decays soft loose setting powder does which was my holy grail until they discontinued it

Glad to have discovered this channel and subbed. Thank you for the content and all the effort it takes to get it out to us. Happy New Year to you and your family, and to your audience at large.

Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been five years!! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years! I can count on honest reviews, and have found some holy grails thanks to you 💜💜 congrats on five years 🎉

I love the green eye shadow💚 Wow! The Revlon Apricute is identical to the NARS! I can’t believe that Flower Beauty still hasn’t reopened their website! I hope they do next year The Yucca and Oden’s Eye Stone palette are a great dupe! I got the Moira powder because of you! I didn’t get the loose one but the finishing powder one (it’s the same tri color). This was a fantastic video! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do on your videos. You are a gem❤❤Happy New Year🎆

The Alter Ego Coastal Palette has been out of stock for months, are they bringing it back? I had no idea about the Yuca plant! lol Thanks for bringing us all the dupes!

What an excellent video. I love having all these dupe/similar products in one place. Thanks for all of your hard work this year! I really enjoy your videos and your swatches have always been the best, hands down. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to put your videos together. Your content always feels more professional/evolved than many others that do the same. Happy New Year! Best wishes for an amazing 2024!

JEN, I hope you see this! I have a fantastic dupe for you, share it with your tribe! First and foremost I'm a huge Chantecaille fan and especially their lippies. Meanwhile, YOU got me to try a bunch of Moira Signature Lipsticks and I love them btw, but when I put on the color Burgundy Noir I stopped dead in my tracks because I knew it looked very close to Chantecaille's Lip Veil in the color Iris. I pulled it out and swiped it on and I could not believe it because it's a 99% spot on dupe, even the formula! When swatched side by side the Chantecaille looks a wee bit pink-ier but on the lips and when you put one on each side and mush your lips together you can't tell the difference. I don't need to purchase Iris from Chantecaille anymore, and I'm going to check the other Moira lippies as I got seven of them. So we'll see if any of them are close to any of the other Chantecaille's I have. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you, and as always I love your channel, it's in my top 3! Rock on chica! ❤❤❤

Thank you for always bringing us more affordable options to the higher end brands 😊I’m so very glad I found your channel this year! I have taken a lot of your recommendations and have been very happy with the drugstore products. They’re really stepping up their game 🎉 this was a great video! I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store 🎊 I hope you have a very Happy New Year!🎈🎊🎆 sending much love hugs and prayers your way ❤️🙏 thank you for all you do!

Jen! Your look is stunning! You are beautiful on every video but love the shadow look and lip color. Gorgeous!

I love your channel and your dupes 😊

I don't know how I feel about purposeful dupes. I use them, don't get me wrong. I'm not above it. I'm glad someone mentioned the Nouveau palette. One of my favorites this past year.

I bought the CP Blow N Smoke palette for my friend who is a goth this year and she likes it a lot.

Oh my gosh!!! The heart lipstick gloss really reminds me of my old 1980's kissing barbie with the heart lipstick!!! Great video, Jen!

I know this is really petty, but I’m so glad that you pronounced the Natasha Donna yucca palette correctly. i’m from Southern California and I used to live very close to Yucca Valley and it would drive me crazy when the influencers would pronounce it incorrectly I know that’s really silly lol

People should try the Profusion Desert Sage palette instead of the yucca palette, I LOOOOVE it

This is the video I really needed. I'm looking to add to my makeup collection as I haven't worn makeup regularly in years. So many of the influencers on You Tube talk about the high end brands, which I'll never buy, just too expensive for me. The dupe for Givency is the most exciting one.

Ugh I saw that!!

Also, Jen I love the colors you are wearing! Really make your eyes and lips pop! So very pretty!😍🥰

Thanks for always saving us $$! I honestly don’t see the hype with Natasha formula. I picked up my first pallete which was the I need a nude. I thought the shimmers were super hard panned. Could just be me. But I did pickup the color pop 11:11 & I think it’s way better. Plus with the 3.50 off 15 coupon at Ulta you can’t go wrong!

WOAH i skipped on Yuca b/c i was thinking it would probably not be the best investment. But i did get the Odin’s Eye and you’re the first person to do that comparison. That was invaluable - thank you!!

Another well thought out video with carefully tested and compared makeup items. Happy New Year!

Bright Blessings to you & your family in the New Year Jen. Thanks for all your hard work & helping us all to save $$$$

Happy New Year Jen! Videos like this are what drew me to your channel and you never ever disappoint! I love how you distinguish between dupes and alternatives, how you compare color, texture, formula and application, and how you always give credit to others if you learn about something from a different creator. Not only are you thorough beyond belief and so much fun to watch, you are a total class act. You are just the best of the best on KZread, truly! Wishing you a joyful and blessed 2024!

No one does better dupes than Jen❤❤❤❤ such a fantastic video

Hope you have a fantastic NewYear Jen! Thanks for all the work you put into these comparison videos. You do an excellent job and I really enjoy them.

I LOVE this video concept! and I really like that you highlight 'not a dupe but same effect' products - I feel like there are so many products that people say are un-dupeable, which is maybe true sometimes - but only before application and wear!

Hourglass has a similar gloss as the flower. It’s my favorite! Slightly plumping, thin and melty.

The elf eyeshadow sticks are amazing. Feel asleep with my makeup on and woke up with my eyelids looking great still lol. 😂 the first few times I used them I didn't think they were that good but they are better when you use them more they get creamier and more pigmented imo. Milani lip oil is an amazing dupe for dior! I love catrice too they do everything well I've tried from them 😊

IMO, you are the gold standard for finding formula dupes or color dupes and / or both.

I use the shade naughty nude in Revlon blush all the time!! And the highlighter daybreak glimmer is my go too!! ❤❤Revlon makeup..

I truly love watching Dupe videos whether its from you or other YT influencers. I cannot stress this enough, but there are people who live on short budgets and simply cannot afford to spend alot of money on things like makeup. There is nothing wrong with drugstore makeup or dupes. Personally, I don't think there is a good enough reason for anyone to spend tons of money on any makeup product. If I walk up to someone in a store or someplace else, I'm not gonna know what they're wearing unless they tell me. Without drugstore makeup existing, high end brands wouldn't even have a seat to sit in. We all start out with drugstore makeup as beginners. Brands like Alter Ego prove you can get great products without breaking the bank and if you like it and prefer it, its worth every cent you pay. I'm looking forward to their version of the HB grunge palette. I know its brewing like fresh coffee somewhere. I smell it. I bet they'll do the ND pretty nude palette too.

Wow. I agree. So good.

Those revlon powder blushes have been a top drawer fave of mine for a couple years now!

Happy New Year! What a fantastic list of dupes. You're amazing Jen! The 10 pan wet n wild lights off palette has a row of black, Grays and Silvers that creates a nice smokey look for $5 if you don't want to buy the xenon palette. I reach for it all the time and it includes a beautiful hunter green.

Came for the makeup, stayed for THOSE 👀 EYES!!!❤

Jen, you are our Queen of the Dupes. ❤ Happy New Year.

Natasha Denona just had their holiday sale and I picked up I Need a Nude and Yucca for around $45 each. 🤩 Earlier this year I got the Altar Ego Harmony and hated it so I went ahead and got the ND Retro and love it! Who am I? I swore I wasn't going to start buying ND palettes but some of their color stories get me! 😂

Yucca! Youcah! Tomato! Tomahto! Geez! People are something else! Good for you Jen for clearing up the controversy!😂 You do such an amazing job with dupes! I bought 6 of the items discussed here! And love them all! Thanks Jen! Can’t wait for the PF bronzing drops! Great job!!❤💕🙏🏼

About the Holiday skin: I bought it because my CT bronze and glow broke. The bronze/contour shade in there leaned very yellow on me. It made me look “bruised”. So I changed my contour to the Physicians Formula Butter contour palette (can’t remember the name right now, but it has 3 powders in the palette) that worked so much better for my skin tone and I still use the catrice highlighter because it is beautiful.

So thrilled I discovered your channel in 2023. U r now the #1 You-Tube Influencer I trust for recs/feedback on MUP and Skincare, esp for the dupes and drugstore alternatives.

Hope you and the Family have a great New Year!🎉

Love your alternatives, Jen. There are some brands I just don't buy from for overhype reasons and I can't get behind the price, so it's always great to see shades and formulas that fit the bill if I like the look. 🎉

Happy New Year, Jen! I think the Alter Ego palettes are good. I love eyeshadow, but I don't use it often enough to buy the more expensive palettes. Thank you for all the info, inspiration, and fun from last year. ❤

Products made in Italy are the best!!

Swatch 👸 👑 queen! No one is better. Love when you do budget friendly dupes or close to high-end products. ❤ this is just at the right time, too. After the holidays. Happy New Year's ❤🎉🎉. Hope 2024 is a great start to all. Thanks for all the hard work this past year. 🎉🎉

Love your dupe comparisons. Wish I knew about alter ego before I purchased the high end. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! 🎆

The perfect video to end this year. Thanks Jen, these are my favorite videos you put out. Thank you for all you do🙏🏼 I wish you and your lovely family very happy and healthy New Year 🎊🥂🥰

OMG 😱 great dupes ❤

There is simply no one doing it like Jen when it comes to dupes. Thanks for all of your effort! Have a wonderful 2024! ❤❤

this is the kind of makeup content we need in 2024

I’m the biggest fan of the Milani shadow sticks. I’ve tried most of the shadow sticks out there, and these are my absolute favorite. I own almost all of them. Highly recommend if you haven’t tried!

Man. I wish I had been more patient and waited for these dupes before buying the more expensive versions of a lot of these! They look so good! 😊

I couldn't believe how close that Oden's Eye palette was to Yucca!! I wanted the ND one! Just looked and the ND one is $127 here and the Oden's Eye is $70 including shipping!!

In the xenon palette I see blues and pinks and like a rose gold color as well

Happy New Year, Jen!!!

You are going to laugh at me..I received a full size Nars Orgasm blush in Boxycharm over a year ago and haven't opened it because it's too expensive 😂 Happy New Year

I love that you list the product and price because sometimes I miss it

Happy New Year! This is why I have followed your channel for years! Seriously, I should send you a check, you have saved me so much money. As always, thank you for sharing! P.S. I love the look that you have on today!

Your dupes are always THE BEST!!! Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! Money's been tight recently so these types of videos saves me so much money AND time❤

You are correct in the way you are saying Yucca. People will just nag about anything!

Jen, we appreciate your reviews. ❤ Your skincare reviews are great too.

Hope your family is all healed up and ready for the new year!

Happy new year Jen ❤

Wow! What a great video Jen. Thank you.

Happy New Year’s to you and your family. Thank you for your amazing 2023 reviews. Can’t wait to see you in 2024.❤ I did try a few Alter Ego pallets and had to pass them on, on me the shimmers had too much glitter fallout even with the glitter glue the mattes were good. I think that Physicians contour wand was way prettier on you than the CT.🥰

Well, well! I have been nursing an Oden's Eye order for a few weeks. In my cart is the Stone palette. Now I know why! I have Yucca and I adore it. No need for it now.

Happy new year Jen! I love this green eye on you!

Thanks Jen! So informative!!!

Happy New Year! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos
