APRIL FAVORITES 2023 + FAILS | Beauty MUST HAVES

[@ann6030]

Stephanie , I love how you always apply your makeup! You never wear too much & your makeup never looks like you’re wearing too much! Your makeup application always looks great & always looks just perfect!! I’ve been having to catch up since I’ve been sick & haven’t felt like watching any videos. I’m loving all your videos!!❤❤❤

[@StephanieMarie]

What a kind comment! Thank you!

[@manonderaspe9808]

Thank you! Would like you to test the new lipstick matte color riche from L'Oréal.

[@suzanneholman1203]

Thank you for including the Perricone No Shadow shadows. I've been using these for a few years. There is a super subtle glow finish. So beautiful!

[@stephaniemackenzie5456]

And now, it's time for some laughs and giggles. Dirty Harry's wife walks up to two beauty content creators, taps them on their shoulders, and says in a stern voice, "Go ahead! Make my face!"

[@standdownrobots_ihaveoldglory]

Omg lol, my son and my mom have your same sense of humor, hahaha, and that cracked me up!

[@natashawoof]

I thought you meant the Markle woman🤦‍♀️

[@lizmartin1844]

Thank you! Do you have a link to your favorite or best under eye setting powders (dry texture dark circles). I’m on a budget 🙏

[@heatherjane910]

Check out the elf Halo Glow Setting Powder. There’s a light pink version that’s great for brightening and a close dupe for the viral Givenchy Prisme Libre in shade 3. I’m 54 with dry/normal skin.

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

I agree with Heather Jane…I think you’d enjoy that product!

[@cammiemr5172]

Colleen Rothschild has a great hair mask! Called "Quench & Shine Restorative Mask".❤

[@lindadee6603]

Hello Stephanie 😊Love your favs & fails 😊😊👏👏👏

[@heatherjane910]

At first I liked the Westman Atelier pressed powder in pink, but after using it a few times, I agree with you on the dryness. There’s a Givenchy Prisme Libre pressed powder that I love for travel. I use shade 3 like I do in the loose powder.

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes I love that powder. It’s lovely!

[@brendakoedam1859]

I was looking at the Westman Atelier pink powder this weekend at the counter at Bergdorf. Even the rep there said the PM was better!

[@lisasmith7]

I love Beachwalk ❤️ ❌️⭕️

[@Lighthouse1852]

Too Faced Born This Way: it's a great formula. Have you tried Seashell (Fair) and Snow (Very Fair)? Both are described as rosy, but I find Snow quite neutral. Not pink looking. Finding good concealer shades is a drag....

[@claredyj2015]

I love the favs and fails videos and this definitely didn’t disappoint 😊🎉

[@streetfamily6909]

Which shade did you get in the Laura mercier powder? Love your videos :)

[@jann3443]

I enjoyed your faves and fails today, Stephanie. I'm mesmerized by the Sireni Eye Shields. Theyre so innovative, practical and reusable! In my opinion they're a NEED, not just a WANT. I'm ordering some! 👍🏻

[@onewhisper22005]

I feel the same about most brow pens where I need to just take so much time to use them to not have them be too much (like marker 😂) but the Milani brow pen is amazing! So thin and I can do it so quick and easy!

[@StephanieMarie]

Milani is my other fave! I do have to use more of a light hand with it than this one though, so it got bumped to 2nd after trying this one! I wish it didn’t bc of the price point!

[@jenikat]

The ELF silicone angled sponge is good enough for me, especially at its $6 price point. It's a similar concept as the MUFE one, but isnt the exact same shape.

[@pamelasale8992]

Love everything!!! Those earrings are so gorgeous on you!!! 💖

[@trishamsutton]

I don't love that Westman Atelier powder either. I just hit pan on my second Pat McGrath powder.

[@janicedevereux2839]

Valentino brow, pencil in the color brown is out of stock in Sephora… I jumped on Valentino’s website and it’s the same price $40 however… If you create an account and accept the annoying promotional emails, they give you $15 off your purchase 👏👏👏👏 So now it’s $25 and I was able to get free shipping if I paid via PayPal … I just need to hit that shop runner button which is free for PayPal and American Express customers. Otherwise, their shipping is $8. $25 plus tax. I am a happy girl and they ship within two days. 👏👏👏👏👏👏 I love trying new brow products because our brows are so important and they are difficult when you have to draw most of them on😔 it’s a pain in the butt.. Good luck everybody and thank you so much for the video

[@eubacos]

Love your earrings and necklace. Is there a direct link for both?

[@carolgarrett5650]

How do you compare the NARS Afterglow Sensual Shine Lipstick to the NARS Afterglow Lip Balm?

[@kacie3289]

Your skin looks so beautiful, Steph!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thanks so much Kacie! :)

[@kf10126]

Hello! I actually use the pixi in shower facial steaming gel mask. I wait to put it in until I'm actually on the shower and it does warm up surprisingly a lot. Kind of the same way that Wonder Water for your hair warms up. It tastes like weird sugar and it does sting my eyes a bit when it gets in them but a quick splash gets it out of there. Bummer that you didn't like it. I have backups... Lol.

[@lauriesudduth8568]

I bought the Colleen Rothschild eye cream after your review and love it! I would love to know your opinion of the Givenchy Prisme Libre concealer. I don't mind paying high end if it works for my mature undereyes.

[@louisesharpy]

Yes. I’ll edit after I watch. I love your favs and fails

[@cammiemr5172]

Thanks! I always love the information you share!!

[@StephanieMarie]

Thanks Cammie! You’re so sweet!! 💗💗💗

[@AugustaCox-s9q]

Kerastase Densifique hair mask is made for fine liump hair. It's a creamy jelly texture that doesn't weigh your down. Kerastase has the absolute best in ALL hair products.

[@StephanieMarie]

I like that too but think I like this one a bit better!

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

*add to cart

[@MsViolettEyes]

Love the earrings! I don’t own any Kendra Scott but these are really pretty. Would look great with all white top/bottom/dress. My only hesitation would be if they are too heavy.

[@StephanieMarie]

I can't stand earrings that are too heavy either. These are just fine! :) Thank you!

[@lisasmith7]

I got 2 new to me things in April. Natasha Denona Love face palette and the Rare Beauty highlighters. Have a great week ❌️ ⭕️

[@tanyas6643]

I think the MUF sponge might be great for those of us who don’t want to use fingers or a “sponge tip/doe foot” applicator directly on our faces. (foundation on my fingers eeks me out.) This probably works really nicely with serum or thin liquid foundations… avoiding soaking up too much product before you can actually get it on the face, initially.

[@summits100]

Just went to purchase the brow pen and as per usual, Sephora is out of stock. Rats! I'll look for it elsewhere, though. Thank you for that recommendation!

[@maryb3909]

You think the Nars Afterglow would be a good dupe for the Almay Smart Shade Butter Kiss Lipstick?

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

If you add a little of the LA girl blue mix medium to the foundation it'll neutralize it for you. That way you don't have to buy any more bottles.

[@AugustaCox-s9q]

those eye masks look really cool!

[@BlingyBea]

Real techniques has some for only $10 and they work.

[@AugustaCox-s9q]

maybe u can use the wa powder on your t zone middle of the face powder

[@stephaniekasunick4754]

Can you try Physicians Formula and No 7 products?

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! I’ve tried many throughout the years and in various videos. Some are faves! Are you curious about any in particular?

[@stephaniekasunick4754]

@@StephanieMarie just any No 7 products and just see ads for physicians formula blushes

[@melindagenitempo2359]

STEPHANIE THE HAUS CRAYON TWISTS UP. I HAVE 6 COLORS. TWIST IT UP

[@StephanieMarie]

Yes, it does. :) But that doesn't keep the tip pointy. As you use it, the tip will get rounded.

[@melindagenitempo2359]

@@StephanieMarie I use it more as an all over fill in then put either lipstick or gloss on top. It's not a true sharpen lip pencil .

[@janicedevereux2839]

The two faced born this Way concealer is excellent excellent and you get a lot of product for your money. Two face also has sales often on their website…. Unfortunately, I went to Sephora and I stood at that display and tried on all of the colors, the light to medium. I could not get a color not even close… They were either too orange or way too light… the best from my memory I believe was almond, but it still wasn’t good. Sadly, I just can’t use it.

[@AngelaYee-Hamshaw-gt1ld]

Just wondering if the cap itself on the Haus Labs lip crayon is the sharpener. Perhaps not but was just wondering.

[@StephanieMarie]

I'll have to check that!

[@barbaraz.5396]

I’m from Europe and meant to ask before but why do you need a clear bag in the stadiums?

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Hi Barbara! The clear bag is for security. I know they don’t want anyone to have any sort of weapons or drugs/paraphernalia, or for anyone to sneak in alcohol. There may be other items that are off limits too.

[@ea8269]

Hi Stephanie, do you use pre shampoo mask?

[@StephanieMarie]

I don't

[@AugustaCox-s9q]

the earrings Are pretty

[@julielongmakeup]

Hi. I love your channel! I don’t know if you do your own editing but when you’ve said that there will be a card link on the screen, there hasn’t been one. It happened more than once. I thought you would want to know if you have someone else doing your editing.

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! I do that in post-editing in KZbin once it’s in the platform. When you see the little “i” up in the top right corner and click on it, those videos pop up. It used to not be a feature on mobile though, so that could be the issue for you. You may have to use the links I put for them in the description box. I hope that helps! ❤️

[@lesliehatch-herman9325]

Yep…they work on my regular computer but not on my iPhone

[@alessandrarodriguesrochael7545]

Do You experimented a shade NUDE for Too Faced Concealer？

[@StephanieMarie]

I was going to but it was very yellow compared to light beige

[@jenniferbmyers7112]

Hi! I purchased the fuzzy cuffs, and you are absolutely correct they change the whole wash game lol! No more water struggles! It is the little things in life sometimes that make the struggle soo much better! 💓😃😃

[@ynnaz06131986]

Would you say the Laura Mercier powder is like the Hourglass finishing powders? Also, on the Sephora website, the Lawless powder says it's medium coverage...but based on your description, it's more like light? I'm very tempted by the Perricone MD eye product--thanks for that recommendation, I hadn't heard anything about it! Lastly, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the Rare Beauty Lip Oils (although all the shades are out of stock on the Sephora website right now). I just watched Cate the Great's video dedicated to the product, and it looked amazing! Thanks so much, I always love your monthly Faves and Fails videos!

[@ea8269]

Liked and 👍👍

[@janicedevereux2839]

Can I just mentioned to Charlotte Tilbury packaging? The very first product, I thought was her under eye corrector. It was delivered, and when I took it out of the box, I could not get over how cheap the packaging was. It weighs nothing but it looks like this beautiful rose gold compact. .. I was disappointed As we know, Charlotte is expensive. Her customers deserve more than the cheap plastic packaging. That is no better than buying the cheapest drugstore product. …. So what does it say when a billion company cheaps out on product packaging🤔… doesn’t reflect on the brand owner? Or does it reflect on what the brand owner thinks about their customers?….. I don’t know.

[@sherryb7713]

Hi Stephanie, I love watching your videos, but I wanted to inquire if you were aware that Nars is not cruelty free. You seem to love animals, so I figured you may not be aware of that. There’s so many other amazing products that we can use, So until they are cruelty free, I will not be purchasing from them. And I hope if everyone feels the same, they would quit buying products from Nars and then they may actually make a change for us. Again, I appreciate all the research you do for us.
