Drugstore VS. Luxury: Eyeshadow Sticks SHOWDOWN

[@theGLOSSqueen]

your ability to come up with video ideas that are both original and what people really want/need is amazing. i have been looking for a video comparing drugstore/luxury eyeshadow sticks that is thorough and honest for a while. i know i've told you this before, but your thoughtfulness and care into your videos always shows. it really can't be said about most youtubers that their channels are rich with videos that are well done, well thought out, and quality. thank you!!

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so much- you have no idea how much I appreciate the support!!! It makes these videos that take a lot of time worth it :)

[@carriemroczkowski9409]

JY A. Well said, and agree!

[@maanestoev]

I love the lighting you use, it looks like afternoon sun and it's so cozy ✨

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you!!! :) I usually film in the afternoon when I get home from work!

[@rossedwardmiller]

Isabella Lugosi she does a lot of schedule shuffling to make sure she’s able to be home and ready to shoot in the late afternoon. Timing has been even tougher with daylight savings time. Thanks for noticing!

[@maanestoev]

Ah, that makes sense! I really appreciate you taking the time to make these videos for us ❤️❤️❤️

[@recklessisrecording]

I really like how you present and compare information and it's not long and dull. The content is also interesting to watch.

[@AmandaZ]

:) thank you

[@NaturallyGourgeous]

finally a youtuber that looks like a real human being messy hair don't care and beautiful to boot good on you lady.

[@AndreaCIC]

Yes! kiko are my favorite stick eyeshadows! on me 05 looks more brown with rose gold flecks, perfect as a soft smokey eye, they sure need to bring matte shades. That 38 looks amazing!

[@AmandaZ]

yes!!! 38 is so bomb it's been a go-to since I tried it for the 1st time

[@KeepBeautyReal1]

Fun review! Honestly I forget to use my cream sticks-and they’re SUCH an easy quick way to look put together. Thanks for the reminder to pull them out! I may need to try a Kiko shade!

[@AmandaZ]

of course!!! I've been loving them recently ;)

[@enx2526]

I love your channel so much. For example, this video is so helpful and informative. Congrats!

[@AmandaZ]

thank you so much!!!

[@BelleStreetBoyz]

This was super helpful! Thank you!! I came for a review of the CoverGirl product, but I will definitely be checking out the Kiko stick instead. 😊✌️

[@emilydewenter6308]

Such a great review! I’ve been eyeing the Laura mercier for years but could never pull the trigger on it because of the price. I’ve never heard of kiko but those colors look amazing. I find that a plum-y/ purple toned eye look suits me more than a brown one so that amethyst dupe is right up my alley

[@AmandaZ]

omg it would look so good on you!

[@alyssacalloway3793]

I won a few of the Laura Mercier Caviar sticks in a giveaway from a blogger and I was also unimpressed with the shade Rose Gold. However, Amethyst, Copper, Rush, Intense Moonlight, and Metallic Taupe are all stunningggggg. I have my eye on Burnished Bronze next!

[@carriemroczkowski9409]

I really appreciate this and think that it’s extremely helpful. Although I’ve never used the Laura Mercier I’ve heard it about them especially from Shelbey Wilson. I believe she recently did a comparison/dupe video with the CoverGirl, and I’ve been wanting to try them but haven’t yet. I do have a few of the ones from KIKO and love them. They often have some great sales. I’ll have to try the mattes from CoverGirl. Another drugstore option, although actually’s a pencil, that I still use are NYX’s Jumbo Eye Pencils. KIKO’s formula is way better, but I love how many shades NYX has to offer. But yes, I still use them especially in situations that aren’t long periods of time. eBay has tons of them, lol. Thanks so much, girlie🍃🌸

[@khenders780]

this is seriously the video I've been waiting for! also you should check out the kosas 10 sec eyeshadow, they're liquid shadows and I think you'd like them

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you!!! ;) might be a vid coming soon on the kosas.....

[@ninabusarac2806]

That Kiko 05 is my all time favorite, those sticks are so underrated

[@AmandaZ]

agreed!!!

[@tundebenyovszky6917]

Did you try the By Terry sticks? Are they any good and long wearing?

[@ИринаКутовая-э3н]

I LOVE your makeup in this video! It matches your features so beautiful 🥰 What lip product are you wearing? It looks very pretty

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so much!!! I did a really thin, blotted lip with the fenty freckle fiesta :)

[@katieosull63]

Ya I agree lipstick is gorge!!

[@Gbabie415SC0]

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you!!

[@AmandaZ]

of course :) happy to help!

[@wendyraye]

I appreciate this very much - the fact I change what colors I use a lot I’m checking out Kiko. I bought Bobbi Brown Taupe and absolutely love the color - it’s more of a caramel than a typical gray brown- it makes my blue eyes pop and is a great everyday easy one. If I could find a color dupe I’d get it. What’s ironic is they discontinued their pot cream shadows which were the same price but a lot more product. Sand Dollar in that is gorgeous. I’d much rather spend on the mattes like you said.

[@AmandaZ]

Brown-taupes are my go-to I need to check out that color!!!

[@katieosull63]

Your hair color is gorgeous!! How do I get that colour?😍😍

[@andreavelez4968]

You should try the Avon eyeshadow cream sticks! They're amazing :)

[@carolinaherrera2405]

Agree,what colour have you tried

[@oliviahope9848]

Have you tried the Ellis Faas creamy eyes cream eyeshadow pens?

[@mari22]

Thanks so much for great comparison 🧡 Me too was really disappointed w LM Rose Gold! But love Cocoa, Vanilla and Burnt Bronze. Have to try Kiko next 😘

[@soniamartin2729]

Thanks for your great job here!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@KB-tb3po]

Went to the KIKO cosmetics website to order and it has all 17 shades but no way to actually order. The side has all the shipping info but there is no way to add to cart or checkout. Has anyone experienced this? Not sure if it’s a glitch or what.

[@kendallspooner703]

Pixie makes a decent matte and I have a good dark gray from Collab. Great video

[@ayishafarhana786]

Pls do fav mascara and brow products next

[@AmandaZ]

love this idea!

[@HollyG6]

Your hair is glowing here

[@ev69able]

Don’t want to sound creepy but what shade of hair dye can I find to get that hair color

[@AmandaZ]

aw thank you not creepy- I actually don't dye my hair so I can't help :(

[@unSTOPPABLExFLAME]

@@AmandaZ super gorgeous hair color 🥰

[@Jbznssn73]

Im loving your channel and reviews 🤗😍 just subbed

[@ivechang6720]

hiya! I admit I seriously miss the cream pot shadow "Brownie Points" by e.l.f. so much. "Groundwork" by MAC is impressive, mostly though by what a nearly exact match to my natural crease color. Kinda weird but looks gorgeous I gotta say. The only problem with KIKO MILANO is how they constantly turn over their product line. I don't know if it's a way to keep the actual products fresh or to keep costs down. It could even be a way to force sales because if you like something you'd better buy a few up because they WILL be gone soon. :/

[@nadiarioux7860]

Hi Amanda! I am so grateful for you and your content. ❤️ Do you remember what lip product you are wearing in this video?

[@AmandaZ]

thank you nadia!!! I'm thankful for you :) This looks like walkyrie from nars to me!

[@nadiarioux7860]

Thanks a bunch! You’re the best!

[@StateofKait]

YUP buying three Kiko shades now

[@sundaysommers1476]

Very helpful. Thanks!

[@bags_books_and_bowwows]

Have you ever tried the ones from Pixi?

[@AmandaZ]

I haven't!! haven't tried enough from pixi :o

[@user-jp8lf2du4x]

Thanks for such a good review! You've mentioned there Intence Amethyst, but then wrote Amethyst. These are 2 different items in LM. Please inform which one is the right one in your video.

[@AmandaZ]

I tried out intense amethyst!

[@ayimera]

I totally need to pick up some of those Kiko sticks now! Definitely on my Black Friday shopping list. I love the LM ones but ugh, the price.

[@Robin-no8cu]

Those kiko sticks were gorgeous but I had a really bad reaction to them. Disappointed because they were so beautiful.

[@AmandaZ]

Oh no :(

[@carolinaherrera4598]

I did not have a reaction but they were so sticky like a glue on my eyelids.

[@LisaF_]

You are not alone. I loved how they look, but I had a reaction as well. So weird!

[@carolinaherrera4598]

@@LisaF_ yes It literally felt like a glue on my eyelids it is pretty much the same with case with all cream eyeshadows I tried so far except maybelline colour tattoos but they discontinued them ...
