Best Drugstore Makeup from 2017

[@MeganMichelle__]

The red dress from the Walmart video! It looks sooo good on you!

[@poppash9]

I'm new to your channel and THANK YOU SO MUCH for talking about products that other KZbinrs aren't. You're a breath of fresh air! Rock on girl 😘🤘

[@ElinaR914]

I love the effort and attention to detail you dedicate to your backdrops

[@windypineda3970]

14 minutes of Zabrena? Yes, please!!

[@wndrwmn72a44]

I'm so glad you mentioned the NYX Gotcha Covered concealer! It's one of my favorite nyx products! Covers everything and affordable.

[@earthyglow]

You remind me of the 40’s - ‘60’s movie stars...Rita Hayworth, Maureen O’Hara etc. So glamorous... but so down to earth. And... your info is solid.

[@JennHerz-HTX92]

I'm so happy you have Carlis palette!! I've been wanting it so bad, I can't afford it right now but I hope to have it soon. I love that you support her! She's such a lovely person!

[@juligrlee556]

Love this video. Love your comments about bacteria in brush cleaning routines. I would love to hear more about products that do not contain hazardous chemicals, carcinogens or chemicals that are potentially harmful to babies and their milk from their moms.

[@daisyrae1543]

My mom is a red head & doesn't think she can wear red. I need to show her you. Merry Christmas!

[@Sonicman415]

DaisyRae15 redheads look great in red.. usually. 😃

[@majesstic777]

Zabrena u are just stunning. I had to stop the video to say that. When u came up out the pool i was just so smitten!!! I love your list so far and merry Christmas❤

[@itsLiane]

I realize drugstore December month is over but these have been my favorites so please keep doing these in the future. I love to find low end dupes that work & just good drugstore products. It allows me to experiment with a lot more different looks for the money. Thank you.

[@Withloveariaxo]

I am sooo happy you included the Carli bibel palette because I think everyone needs to give it a chance!!! It's sooo fantastic!!

[@jasperjordan7820]

I just found your videos today! But you are so calming and joyful to watch. Your videos are such good quality and very informative. I also find your voice so calming to listen too! I can't wait to watch more of your amazing videos!

[@conniechan9648]

It's always enjoyable to watch your video again Zebrena! Thank you for another amazing year of frugal Fridays! Even though a lot of products are not available in the UK.

[@pilar2057]

Loved the idea of having drugstore december, I hope this becomes a tradition in your channel!

[@arelunk]

OMG who else does a review with clips from the old ones in one video like you? MAJOR RESPECT. Haha. So so helpful and professionally done especially for new subscribers like me who probably have never watched those reviews yet. Now I want meself that CoverGirl foundation. Your channel is one of my newest favourites, I have to say, Zabrena. Happy New Year all the way from Malaysia 🇲🇾. xx

[@t3rror5am]

You are super correct about the wet n wild h2o eyeliner but omg, NOTHING not even magma was able to take it off my lids!!! I lost some lashes due to that liner. Now I put cold cream and let it sit or will use a super oily makeup remover but other way if I dont let the remover sit for a couple seconds I have to keep rubbing or add more. Thats what its like for me though.

[@Panya.V]

Same. I hold an eyemakeup remover pad against my eye for at least 30 seconds, or else it's a LOT of rubbing.

[@inkasaraswati7625]

t3rror5am I can't, for the life of me, use the applicator! It's extremely stiff and doesn't hold much product so I was practically stabbing my eye every time I try to use it.

[@Panya.V]

Inka Saraswati I don't drag/draw with the applicator; I use it like a stamp and just press it where I want it to go, dipping back into the bottle as needed.

[@t3rror5am]

Inka Saraswati yea I always abuse mine a little or ill opt out and use an eyeliner brush. Its an abusive product lol

[@lemarquesse23]

t3rror5am gave me an allergic reaction in and around my eyes!

[@jacquelinediaz3055]

I’m glad you featured my all time favorite foundation Cover girl Outlast! I’m super oily and this just works.

[@stolv3771]

The Lucille Ball gorgeousness is extra fire in this video. Happy New Year!

[@michelelara5982]

Love the covergirl foundation! Im on my 4th bottle... i appreciate that it has primer, & sunscreen in the formula.

[@soph7676]

Love your channel Zabrena, thanx for thinkin of us over the holidays! U gotta try the NYX Epic Ink brush tip black liner, doesn't budge & super affordable!

[@SummerofKittyLove]

10:29 I luv how the eyeshadows matched your eye color and your hair! Really great look

[@carolynwilson7806]

You look especially beautiful in the red! Merry Christmas to you and your precious family including fur babies.

[@stephaniewulk3331]

I hope you had a Merry Christmas Zabrena! You are a class act here on KZbin, and one of only 3 people I watch all the time and trust regarding makeup! I love how genuine you are. You are a true lady, and I mean that in the highest sense! Keep it up, and God Bless! P.S. hope you and your husband and little man are well!! 😊

[@jeveryful]

You’re are the only KZbinr I trust when I buy make up. Thank you!!!!

[@kerrid.979]

Merry Christmas! My favorites this year...Catrice eyeshadow palette in The Nude Blossom, Pacifica Stellar Gaze mascara, and Essence pencil lip liners (I started the year with two, and now I have every shade but one!).

[@conniechan9648]

Hey Zabrena! I live in the UK but I've been enjoying watching your videos very much! Even though a lot of the products you talked about are not available to me. Thanks very much for the production! I took your recommendation of the covergirl 3 in 1 foundation and I love it so much! Merry Christmas to you and your family! Your background decorations are always gorgeous! Xx

[@LizanneFox]

I purchased the NYX waterproof concealer and the Catrice primer you mention in this vid - what great finds! Thanks so much Z! :)

[@donniedarko448]

So excited to see that elf Beautifully Bare Foundation Serum made the cut. It's way underrated, I don't think I need to try high-end foundations because of it. Very natural skin finish. It also comes in an airless pump with a mixer inside. Good work, elf!

[@jenbaca946]

Zabrena, I want to THANK YOU so much for your review of the CoverGirl Outlast Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 foundation! I've been looking for a foundation to combat my oily skin & this one is AMAZING!! Per your rating of it, I went out & purchased it & have used it twice now, with GORGEOUS results! I cannot believe the staying power of this drug store foundation & how well it looks after 8+ hours of wear! Thank you again for the hard work you put into all of your review videos! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[@martapblack]

I was tired of my foundation getting all over my cell phone, so I tried the CoverGirl Outlast 3-1 foundation. I had to buy 2 to find the correct shade, but I am super happy with the results. No more make-up smears.

[@monicalemmer9029]

That red top...wow..Merry and blessed Christmas from your 80 yr old fan!

[@526mum]

WOW, you look absolutely stunning in that outfit. That has to be the truest red I have ever seen in clothing, and it really brings out the colors in your hair and eyes. Gorgeous. Merry Christmas to you, too, Zabrena and to those you love.

[@kirbukirbu]

Those reds look stunning on you. Want to see more of you looking gorgeous in the bright red lips!

[@chrishall.03]

I love and miss your fire engine red hair love!!!! So beautiful. Thank you for the video I didn’t know about the covergirl outlast foundation!!! Thank you !!! And Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎁

[@KuinKuu]

I'm definitely going to check out that Catrice primer.

[@emmanleah1]

So happy to find you almost at the end of 2017. Agree on using more often than not ,the Carli Bybel palette and will definitely try the Gotcha concealer

[@lilcrazysharon11]

I actually put a plastic bag on my head the other day cause I was wearing a white outfit and didn’t want to get my makeup on it. Lol it got the job done.

[@jeannetterodriguez4663]

Merry Christmas! May God continue to bless you and yours. When you talked about the Revlon foundation it made me wonder about other transfer proof foundations. I think that would be an amazing video to make.

[@ikoppandi]

Merry Christmas Zabrena! So refreshing to see you every time!

[@SyrianDudeLV]

The Makeup Revolution setting spray has been my goto ever since you reviewed it. What I really love about it is that I can spray a lot without it feeling like I just drenched my face. It controls oil so well. Work for me is anywhere from 8-10 hours. I usually wear sunscreen (and it's super matte, which I love) and use the setting spray and I'm good all day. Even in 100+ degree heat.

[@angelacervantes1242]

SyrianDude what sunscreen do you use?

[@SyrianDudeLV]

Australian Gold Tinted Face Sunscreen. The tint is pretty light so it may not work well on darker people.

[@mariacercone2462]

Hi Z! Love your videos! I have oily skin and rely on your makeup testing videos... thank you!! Can you please test the Maybelline Superstay Foundation?

[@no1likeme990408]

Yes, the Covergirl 3in1 foundation is my absolute drugstore favorite!! Now I need to try the ELF foundation serum you mentioned. Merry Christmas to you & your family!!

[@IamMissPronounced]

I SO wish I could rock that gorgeous Ariel hair colour at 3:14, it's breathtaking! I already commented this on the other video posted today, but thank you so much for all the effort you put into Drugstore December for us, Z ❤

[@wellIdiditagain]

I see you wore the red dress, it's beautiful on you. Merry late Christmas. Love the round brush one of my favorites of 2017!!

[@Diane-yq3im]

So glad you went back and got that dress - it looks soooo good on you! The dress is out of stock, bet everyone ordered after seeing you purchase it.

[@dionline88]

Merry Christmas Zabrena! Two videos today? That makes this a great Christmas for me!!!

[@RushellKB]

I always purchase your anti shine products because you are always right. I have really oily skin like yours so I purchased the Make Up revolution oil fixing spray and that is all I use now! The best!!!!

[@toripartridge3338]

I’m so glad I found your channel!! You’re adorable I love it! Merry Christmas! 🎁

[@liamtrumbore2570]

girl I just watched one of your videos from 2014 and you've come a long way

[@wendyschnapa7582]

Wonderful and always helpful video Zabrena! Merry Christmas to you and your beautiful familly!

[@deathbeforedecaf7755]

I need to try that Catrice primer. I've tried Hourglass, MUFE, Becca, Smashbox and have been let dry. I think I'll give Catrice a try!

[@gmadiva]

You are just stunning and so well spoken. I think you need to go to Hollywood girl!! This was such a great video. Will be trying some of these. Thanks much and Happy New Year!!

[@Jocelyn-qd1fl]

Thank You so much for all of your helpful reviews!! They are so helpful and honest. Can you do a dollar store makeup challenge? You should definitely try it. I actually enjoy some of the dollar store products ( for the money:) I am surprised you don't have as many subscribers as your channel is amazing!

[@juliettownsend2849]

Excellent video. That dress is amazing on you! Merry Christmas to you and yours.

[@jennyumm89]

That NYX concealer is so good! A little goes a VERY long way.

[@sanaazmiyoutube]

U should do more of makeup looks zabrena love to see this look as well!!!

[@binkylawrence]

Thank you for 2 awesome videos!! I LOVE everything you do on here!! It’s thee bestest! Blessings to you and Happy First Birthday to Handsome Jett! God bless and protect you guys!

[@rockannelle89]

Oh my gosh you are gorgeous!!! Im a new subscriber ahha been looking for drugstore make up that is affordable and eyeshadow palletes

[@alissa3892]

Thank you so much for this video, it’s the first I’ve seen from your channel and you are such an inspiration and not like other youtubers, you keep it simple but complete and to the point, you are so talented girl, keep going 👏🏻👏🏻

[@tobycatone1642]

Once again you are stunning! Merry Christmas to you and your family! And a wonderful new year full of love and happiness!

[@analogkid28]

Covergirl Outlast foundation is holy grail for me. I live in an extremely humid area, and it lasts for about 10-12 hours. Love the finish, too

[@sandraplumley419]

Thank you so much for this video. I have been looking for a good foundation but I can't seem to find one. I have tried quite a few but I'm not having any luck. So I'll be trying the CoverGirl. I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Merry Christmas!!!

[@normakeith4472]

Merry Christmas! Your makeup is perfection in this video....you are beautiful! Love what you do and trust your opinions!

[@christyangel8193]

Your dress is gorgeous! I love your videos zabrena! 😊🎄

[@carolweaver1703]

Just subscribed to your channel! Love that you review and use so many drugstore products. Goes to show, you don’t have to pay outrageous prices to come up with beautiful, flawless makeup looks! You are such a beautiful lady! Wishing you and your family a wonderful Christmas season!

[@sylly654]

I have dry skin, but the Outlast 3 in 1 is my hands down favorite as well. I have been using it for the last few years, but stray time to time to try higher end foundations such as Nars, Tarte, Too Faced, UD, etc. but they never live up to my Cover-Girl 3 in 1. I use the same shade as well, 810 Classic Ivory. I LOVE it!

[@born_confused]

Zabrena you are the only KZbin channel I give thumbs up to before I've even watched. Yes I've that much faith in you💕happy Christmas doll love you xxx

[@melodybelfiore3934]

Zabrena!!! Merry Christmas. JETT Probably loved it. You look beautiful as ever and MERRY Christmas to you and your family. I pray for fun, love and good health for all of You! Love you girl!

[@ranearia]

Merry Christmas & Thank you for so many great videos in '17, here's to an awesome '18!

Happy New Year! Love all the hard work and commitment you put into your videos! My new HG eye pencil is the Ardell pencil for the waterline, and I've tried every brand. Thank you for sharing that game changer! You're the BEST! ❤️

[@vickyvazquez177]

Love, love this review. I've got my list and will make it work for my aging face.

[@anyanka04]

Epic video, so interesting! Given me ideas of what to buy next. It's great that you give out so much info/feedback of drugstore makeup. Thank you for sharing these with us. Your background set is lovely and you are also beautifully presented. Merry Christmas to you and all your family, take care & God Bless you all 🎄 xxx

[@jijie6885]

You look stunning, Zabrena! Thanks for this video. Happy holidays!

[@selinvox4643]

Unfortunately, the CG has no shade for my yellow based light olive dry skin!😍😍😍and I do not want to add oils and mix and match my foundation 😥

[@aphreyst4551]

Two new videos on Christmas?! Merry Christmas to everyone! 🎄🎁⛄

[@clarity905]

my favorite products of 2017 for me was 2 profusion palettes I picked up target this year. I got the eye and cheek palette and besides being powdery and the 2 blushes on the right being the wrong shades for me it's amazing. got all my blush highlight and eyeshadow in the same place. I also got the amber eyes mixed metals palette and damn the mirror is amazing and the colors are beautiful.

[@AC-qo8oq]

Thanks for a great year of videos! Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@ginasparks5413]

I was thrilled to see your video on Christmas Day! Merry Christmas to you and your 'lil family!! I am a newer subscriber, but I want to tell you that I have really enjoyed your videos so far! I feel like you really give me alot of drugstore options and that you keep that in mind when you do your research. For that, I say, thank you very much as my budget is quite limited. Here is to a very awesome and fun filled 2018!! Sincerely, Gina from Idaho

[@reneekerner9326]

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you for all the great videos this year.

[@aprildawn8692]

Great video, Zabrena, and Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@amyblack6065]

This is for my hair stylist ladies out there. I have short hair and I get a cut and color every 4 wks. I live in PA. Due to the cold weather now my scalp is so freaking itchy now!! I bought the Paul Mitchell Tea Tree hair and body moisturizer. It's a leave in product and I'm hoping the tea tree helps w the sensitivity. Will this help me??

[@SapphireBlu]

I love Tea Tree oil but I've never used it on my scalp. We used to use REAL mayonnaise as scalp conditioner once a month. Simply massage about a cup of mayo into your scalp and hair, wrap it in Suran wrap/plastic wrap and then a warm towel, leave for about 20 minutes and then rinse and shampoo as usual. Hope this helps. I'm sure there are videos on this technique.

[@MzClementine]

I can only use tea tree oil once a week. But around ever 2 weeks I will do a coconut oil treatment. Massage into scalp and I’ll wrap it up and sleep on it. Game changer for my scalp! Also jojoba oil is wicked good too!!!! I just moved from PA. Although I’m still your neighbor! Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 from Ohio!!!

[@marilynsantiago1118]

Amy Black use t sal shampoo they sell in in Walmart .its bout 7 bucks works magic

[@beneaththeblackveil7608]

Coconut oil on your hair over night. Tea tree oil on your hair,as well.

[@emilyalyse7628]

Use the Trader Joe's or Giovanni tea tree shampoo & conditioner products instead. They are organic & have much better less harsh ingredients for your hair in them, in my opinion. Shea moisture also has a tea tree scalp elixir that is awesome. Just my opinion, but organic / natural hair care is better & will balance our your scalp! My hair was short and finally starting growing, (it's now to my butt) when I started using more natural (sulfate , paraben, alcohol, and fragrance free products).

[@esulis1639]

How are you able to wear CG Outlast? You are paler than me and they do not have a foundation light enough for me due to the oxidation. Do you add anything?

[@agentktulu]

Marissa Baker same here!!!

[@AussyAngelx]

I'm the same! I got rid of it. Ivory was just way too dark for me.
