I have found the perfect system for lipsticks 💄 I put the liner and gloss that goes best with it at the end of the row, then I watched all my lip colours from darkest to lightest in rows, so red, pink, brown, nude, mauve, orangey, and now if I want a mid red, I pick from the centre of my row in the Red line....easy! Using those little dividers that hold a lipstick perfectly are brilliant for this.

Your hair looks immaculate 😍 wow, the color is so rich & dimensional

[@AndreaMatillano]

That is seriously so nice of you! Thanks for your sweet comment! 🥰

[@viobliterator]

$30 US for a single shadow?? I don't think even pat McGrath charges that much. Prices are getting ridiculous

[@nooriyahxo]

I hope we can see another video breaking down the value of the new holiday sets before the sephora sale starts 🥺💗

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo yes! I would love to film another one. I’ll get it up this week! 🥰

[@cailllou25]

Ditto!

[@nooriyahxo]

@@AndreaMatillano thank you SO much, literally appreciate your effort 💗 haus labs, Danessa Myricks, makeup by Mario, literally so many brands have launched holiday sets and it's so hard to keep up anymore

[@cailllou25]

@@nooriyahxo I'm in love with Westman Atelier lipstick formula and I'm sooo tempted by the LE trio, but I cannot justify the price especially since I already own one of the shades. Nobody seems to do swatches of the new LE shades either 😩

[@hiddenpearl22]

When is it going to start ?

[@heyitslo]

Thank you for actually tagging the products you recommended as alternatives! So many creators who make these videos tag the products they said they dislike which is a weird thing to be trying to make a commission on 😅

[@noemimatias3729]

Thanks for giving us your honest opinion on the products and thanks for sharing some alternatives. 👍🏼

[@AndreaMatillano]

Of course! I really appreciate you watching! 🥰

[@BlondieXoXo91]

$30 used to be enough for an entire eyeshadow palette, so I refuse to pay 30 for one shadow :/

[@lauriederome3888]

This lipstick color looks amazing on you!

[@katiethebookvirgo]

We need information on your hair color!! It's gorgeous!!

[@martamaboo]

I have never tried the glittery Too Faced shadows but if anybody is looking for glittery shadows I would recommend checking out Kbeauty brands (Unleashia, Rom&nd, Clio etc.) Unleashia for example has a 9 pan palette full of glitter shadows that retails for $19 (sometimes even $12 when it’s on sale!) They are known for amazing glitters that actually stay on your eye and are way more affordable 💞

[@Patti-1962]

I appreciate videos like this one, as you do recommend makeup to us, so it makes sense for you to alert us to products that didn't work for you!! I LOVE the Essence Lash Without Limits! I was a Lash Princess fan, but I do like this new one better for my mature eyelashes (short and sparse.) I only need one coat since it is such a wet formula. It is so easy to apply for me too!!

[@kateregier7713]

always love your fails because you offer alternatives!! so many don’t.

[@kjc4779]

7:50 30 bucks for a single shadow????!!!! They r insane

[@lindasadler6338]

I would be impossible to love everything, as long as you have a reason why it didn’t work, that’s fine!

[@AndreaMatillano]

❤️❤️ I appreciate you watching!

[@foodandlipstick]

Agreed, it’s just as helpful to see what people didn’t like because of their preferences.

[@pixiedust9342]

Thank you for your honest reviews ❤

[@LisaEvans-g3l]

The new Elf single glimmer shadows are so good. £6!!! In the UK we only have them on the App. Gorgeous,for mature lids. I actually prefer them to moondust x

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo I can’t wait to try those! Which shades do you recommend?

[@christybaker14]

Yes they are important Saves me from buying ,and trying ,and wasting my money lol. Thank you .

[@WildeBookGarden]

Saw your channel recommended and I love your content! You speak so well about the products and your preferences, and I really appreciate that you call out overpriced brands / items. Of course people have different budgets but I also think there’s a certain price point where it is literally impossible to have a product worth that cost, and it’s really refreshing to see reviewers say the same!

[@serenamartinez4134]

I loved the Too faced eyeshadows UNTIL i saw the price 30 bucks for a single shadow is wild!!!

[@jennbeth1]

I love UD Moondust shadows. I just bought Lithium. It's gorgeous. I already had Solstice and Midnight Cowboy.

[@AndreaMatillano]

They really are so gorgeous! There’s nothing quite like them although I’ve heard good things about the new elf shadows!

[@monicapatton1405]

@@AndreaMatillanothe Elf is pretty good. Picked up 2 the other day they were already sold out of straight fire which I really wanted. Don’t necessarily think I needed the pink and the white, they are different in their appearance though. One is more scattered glitter and the other has more a base

[@Bunijoon]

That hair color is stunning on you!

[@sohappy8580]

Your hair style and color looks so gorgeous !

[@pyewacket7883]

Lovely to see you and spend time together. Sent with tons of love.

[@Fiercely_Nic]

Hi Andrea, thank you for this video! I love that you give alternatives ❤. In terms of a balmy lipstick, I've been impressed with the Fenty Gloss Bomb sticks. It's creamy but stays on a reasonable amount of time, and they are not as sheer as I suspected. In combination with the Fenty lipsticks, they're a winner.

[@nvl.23]

As a very dry skin girlie, I LOVE the One Size primer. Hear me out! I use so many hydrating skincare products that make my skin feel great but can sometimes feel heavy under makeup and this primer over my t-zone helps to control the excess moisture without drying out my skin. I also love using it over my sunscreen to control the shine instead of applying powder because it feels so much less heavy. 😊

[@dianawalter1446]

Thank you for this video. These videos are very helpful, I seem to have the same taste in makeup nice to have someone share a true opinion. Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤

[@marylove909]

I bought the same CoverGirl guard, and totally agree. It is chalky, and on my skin tone it pretty much doesn't show up at all.

[@amandamendoza7099]

I love the HUDA beauty. I had bought a mini size and I wish I never did. It worked so good. It makes my skin look smooth and extends the wear of my makeup with a mask on. I wish I didn’t like it. It is a high end product and that’s just not in the budget. Thank you so much for videos ❤

[@CrystalLynnBeauty]

Your hair looks amazing girl!!!!

[@carolinaventura2768]

Thanks for the video Andrea❤

[@annan4091]

I never liked any too faced eyeshadows but their complexion products are excellent!

[@Megquil]

I just tried the new Makeup By Mario powder yesterday for the first time and it is seriously my NEW favorite pink powder!!! I have dry skin so I have to be really picky about powders but for me it beats out my Huda, One/Size (which I’ve never liked that one much tbh), Elf, and Givenchy!!! Honestly so happy I picked it up - I remembered you saying you loved it so tysm for the recommendation 💕

[@blairemadisonco]

I love that lip color on you!🩷🩷

[@kaivickers166]

I finally bought the elf Lash Xtender and the wand is super sharp and hurts. I haven’t heard anyone mention this, so maybe I’m just whining? The Essence Lash Without Limits in brown is absolutely my favorite mascara atm.

[@erikamolano3359]

Love these videos, so helpful! ❤️

[@lspbeautea4791]

The new Elf single shadows are great! And only cost a few pounds. I picked myself up 3 have only tried one on the eyes … reminded me of the urban decay shadows. ❤

[@giacaceres8643]

Try glitter eyeshadows from Korean brands they are gorgeous and cheaper!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo I would love to try some! Which brands make your favorite?

[@Hokieashley]

27:29 Danessa myricks also has some duochrome eye pencils that are very nice.

[@Chharvey35]

[@mariposa5555]

The lip color you are wearing here... it is gorgeous on you!!

[@madeinkorea79]

Hey Girly! I wanted to ask you...have you tried the new ELF shadows called Fine as Fleck? I ordered them a few days ago and waiting on them but I've watched a few reviews on them b4 I bought them and they are being compared to the UD moondust shadows. Is it something you would try? To me, for 6.00, why not! Haha! Anyway, you should try it out cause it looks like it would a great dupe/substitute to the the UD shadows and they are so cheap - also I love the packaging of these too!

[@amylewis7563]

I bought the moonstone palette last year. Love it!! No way would I pay $30 for a single shadow!! The superstore ones work great for $7. 🥰🥰

[@AndreaMatillano]

Can you believe Patrick Ta is going to be charging $42 for his new duos? 😭 Brands are seriously charging the price of palettes for a single now!

[@laur83]

obsessed with your makeup look in this video ❤ for me, i love flexible mascara wands because they move with my lashes and eye shape. and i find i don’t stab myself in the eye nearly as much with a bendy wand versus a sturdier one 😂 and the audacity of too faced to charge that much for a subpar SINGLE shadow is absurd. i have drugstore shimmers that perform better than that and don’t need glitter glue.

[@cailllou25]

You're gorgeous as usual, Andréa, thank you for another informative video! 🥰

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you for your sweet comment! 🥰

[@idalarsson4729]

I love your makeup look, the vibrant lip colour really suits you and the light sparkly eyes are beautiful! I thought that when Too Faced got rid of the horrible people at the top, the brand might shape up and return to earth🤷🏽‍♀️. But I was sadly mistaken. $30 for one eyeshadow?! You can get even more stunning eyeshadows from indie brands for half the price! Go and support a smaller brand, perhaps even local instead! 💕

[@Nancy-t9s]

You look stunning!! 😊😊

[@jenniferfraser5628]

I love the Essence Lash Without Limits, but find it smudges on me. By the end of the day I have some smudged around my eyes guaranteed. I just switched back to the waterproof Lash Princess because of this.

[@kerriwright4593]

I think the winkie lux clear balmy lipsticks are decent but winkie lux is very expensive imo.

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

I would recommend Milani Color Fetish lip balms over the GXVE …. But they might be discontinuing them 😢. But I love them. Not plumping tho.

[@CrystalLynnBeauty]

I bought the too Faced magic sprinkles and it's gorgeous but the fallout is insane, even with glitter glue. I agree it should be creamier and 20 would be a more fair price point. I'm returning because I wear contacts and the glitter falls into my eyes as well as all over my face.

[@Korrina-g3w]

I cannot wear any of the essence mascara, I have tried the popular ones, they do nothing for my sparse eyelashes, I wish they did because the price point is fantastic.

[@TatianaVelasco-t7s]

this essence eyeliner was super worst for doing outside of my eyelid.

[@AndreaMatillano]

So bad. 😭 I was surprised since their other liners are so much better!

[@calmcrinkles]

Have you tried the Kaja trio shadows? I wonder how the shimmer/glittery shades in those compare to the Urban Decay Moon Dust?

[@smeag9280]

I love the lipstick you’re wearing 🩷

[@carmensandiego5788]

Hey Andrea, I can say that 2 of the items you've just mentioned are items I purchased myself and I also don't care for. The Essence Call Me Queen Mascara for me was a huge bummer, I felt that it made my lashes look too clumpy and stuck together. I can say I had bought pretty much all their mascaras just because I'm a bit crazy like that. One I definitely WOULDN'T recommend is their Volume Stylist 18HR Lash Extension Mascara I bought 2 different tubes and the formula is so dry it feels like it's expired. Another I'd be very careful with is I Love Extreme Crazy Volume Mascara that product the brush is so overloaded with product that you'd need to dab it off before applying. The other product you mentioned was the Covergirl Quad, I'm really disappointed in these newer additions as the quality definitely lacks. I think that from the old school Covergirl line the best eyeshadows we're Shimmering Sands, Cafe Au Lait, Country Woods and Sweet Escape.

[@sherrypettit5552]

I like lash without limit in brown! I bought some Moira products. I ordered a glossy Red lip , a green liquid eyeshadow and a dark blue shimmering eyeshadow single. I tried to get a glitter glue from NYX but they were sold out. I'm on a waiting list .

[@stellaswango7946]

I absolutely love the one size primer as someone who doesn’t have large pores at all I have combo skin n focus it on just my t zone n it truly helps prevent oils from poking thru

[@lavayuki]

I have not tried a lot of these except the UD setting spray which I though was ok at best, but not my favourite as I prefer more hydrating sprays. I am actually really liking the Tir Tir red makeup fix mist and also the Neogen fix mist, both Korea and very affordable on YesStyle

[@NusratJahanAntoraa]

if i am not mistaken, essence, catrice, ulta have single shadows that are significantly cheaper but very good in quality..try those if u find!!!

[@HappywifeTaylor]

I love my super shock shadows. I have so many.

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

Andrea you must have had Colourpop on your mind because at 6:23 you said the eyeshadow was by CP instead of CoverGirl...lol..😂. Btw, what is that lovely shifty color on your eye.. a shade from the UD Moondust or Ritz?

[@AndreaMatillano]

Haha I probably did! 😂 I actually have Ritz as the base with the lightest shade from that UD palette on top! 🙌

[@shadowangelina7155]

And that lipstick looks stunning on you.

[@barbarawalker1263]

Oh gosh I just bought two of those Too Faced Disco crush eyeshadows today I know $30 is an awful lot for them They had a coupon that they sent me $50 off of $100 so I use that

[@shadowangelina7155]

I will literally look at a release and the cost for a basic eyeshadow palette and say out loud, “The absolute audacity!”

[@shadowangelina7155]

$30 for an eyeshadow is just…. I wanna grab Too Faced and yell WHO DO YOU THINK YOU’RE TALKING TO hahaha

[@tinksspixiedust]

Andrea, the link for the Covergirl quad goes to the one you didn’t like rather than the one you do. I don’t like the one I got like the one you tried either. Does that make sense?

I can see the value in a 15 pan palette for $70.... but $30 for one single shadow!!??? Nope, that is not good value at all!!

[@AllisonHefely]

The lash w/o limits gave me serious raccoon eyes - which isn’t typically a problem for me. Not sure what’s going on there but I definitely didnt agree with the hype!
