[@jLo4sho]

Is it just me or has drugstore makeup gotten a lot more expensive??

[@Zer0rchestra]

Jennifer Hadaway I totally agree. I think they’re catching on that some drugstore preforms the same as some high-end, and now they’re upping the prices.

[@hvelasco7198]

"Did i already say that or did i think that?" 😂😂😂😂😂 thats when you know its been a longggg day

[@cmaaahh52]

She's gone into full teacher mode already.

[@MsButterflysting]

How many moments of those I've had. Three kids under 10? Yeah.....lol

[@charisg967]

"No Jessica you broke it, you ding dong" Are we going to talk about how cute that was???? ❤️

[@1sweetcalamity2]

Charis G I thought the same thing! She's adorable 😂

[@irisk934]

Charis G it was super cute, plus I seriously felt her pain. Whenever I break any of my products, I just want to cry and I know nobody else in my house will get it or give me any sympathy 😃

[@charisg967]

Even though I'm quite a bit younger than Jessica, her mannerisms are adorable and I feel like I can trust what she says!!!

[@abbyinwonderland6562]

I love the trademark Jessica tiny sigh before she either negatively comments a product, says "This *sigh*..." or says something to the effect of "I really wanted to like this". Does anyone else notice that? It's so hilarious and I love it. First one I notice is around 2:01

[@ladybird242]

Abby in Wonderland I've noticed. I actually thought it early in this video. There's a pause then a sigh and I'm thinking, "Oh no, we've got a dud."

[@lindseyquinn_]

Abby in Wonderland Haha yup!

[@maferpino9484]

Abby in Wonderland or she says "the thing is.." 😂

[@verybadminimalist8446]

Video highlights: Milani prep set and glo- compares to hourglass dim light ambient powder Nyx no filter - use with damp sponge to add flawless coverage Maybelline better skin Physicians formula- iridescent glow, adds a bit of coverage

[@TheClauMiau]

M H its Hourglass not Dior ;)

[@stacyhynes433]

Jessica, I randomly discovered your channel while watching some other KZbin makeup personalities and I wanted to say that I just love you and your videos. I especially appreciate your attention to drugstore makeup. For a while I was only shopping Sephora for my makeup but you've helped me to realize that there are very good options in the drugstore 😃👍. Keep up the great work and keep putting out those drugstore makeup videos.

[@emkessler4294]

omg when you paused and said "calm down jess, they're right there." i cracked up. i love when you pause and talk to yourself, it makes your videos so funny and down to earth

[@monicawallace329]

100% agree with you on the Better Skin powder!! As a soon to be 52 year old woman that stuff is the BOMB!! I have one in my purse, one in my make up area, and one at my desk!!

[@staceylowe6758]

😂 when you stop watching another yt'ber mid video because you get a jambeauty update! 😍🙌🏻

[@itsjessicabraun]

Just made my day! haha! :)

[@cheryourglam]

Ashley Beavers haha I did the exact same thing! 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@williamberry7212]

Ashley Beavers Same!! I literally just go back and forth between emilynoel83 and Jessica. 😄

[@williamberry7212]

Ashley Beavers Also just realized I commented with my husband's account... whoops!

[@staceylowe6758]

William berry don't forget @jenluvsreviews and Cassie from @thriftthick

[@anne-mariedriscoll9950]

I've been waiting for someone to do this, thank you.

[@XDominiqueXFranconX]

I just wanted to say a sincere thanks for doing these videos. In my teens and college days, I used more drugstore products. But this was before KZbin was really big, and I never really knew if I was buying a good product from the drugstore. I certainly had some hits (one was the Revlon ColorStay Foundation), but also some major disappointments. After working for Nordstrom for a couple years, I became a high-end beauty snob, as girls introduced me to Dior, MAC, Clinique, and more. I mentioned on another one of your videos that my sister also passes along a lot of high-end products to me from the website she works for. But that said, you and a few other KZbinrs have been really causing me to consider replacing a lot of my high-end finds for these drugstore alternatives. One of my favorite powder foundations is Lancome Dual Finish in either the 120 or 130 shades, and I use it for the exact same purpose as you do the Maybelline Better Skin: to carry in my purse and touch up throughout the day. I also had a brief love affair with the IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ powder, which my sister gave me and I used completely up. I have a literal hoard of the Lancome, but perhaps after it's all gone, I'll try the Maybelline to see if it would be a good alternative!

[@katepatterson461]

Love how informative yet brief this is! Covered SO many products and yet still kept my attention! 👌🏻

[@katedouglas14]

I bought the No 7 loose powder because of you and I am obsessed with it - I like it better than the cover fx powder that I bought to wear for my wedding. It's one of the few loose powders that doesn't make my undereye wrinkles look super crepe-y. I love your videos ❤️❤️

[@AJ17_]

I love that Maybelline Better Skin powder too! I keep it in my purse and use it practically every day for touch-ups at work.

[@christinadavidson3213]

I love your reviews with your little side rants 😂 makes me feel like you're just freely talking rather than cutting every sentence

[@shelbyemily1055]

This may be weird. But, I love that you're changing up your outfit in the last few videos! I love to see how you mix and match your outfits!! 😍 Also, loving this new setup. You seem to be so comfortable in this set up! I hope you decorate your background for the holidays like you used to!! Loved the video!

[@lyndsey5358]

Thank you so much for providing (quite a few!) cruelty free options! I'll definitely check some of these out. Love your videos! 💝

[@alyssacampbell1176]

Just found your channel a week ago and have been binging ever since! You seem so genuine and sweet, I can't get enough!!

[@hidden_sunrise]

That blazer is beautiful! I love this video series. Thank you for staying real.

[@kenzeecoleman]

Loving your velvet blazer! 😍 I'm glad you mentioned the Rimmel Stay Matte! I have combo skin and it works wonders as a finishing powder! I've been through at least 15! Been using it for years!!! 😁

[@Retromom104]

Thank you for recommending the No. 7 loose powder. It's fantastic!

[@kirs10cogan76]

TIP for the NYC loose powder (or any loose powders with a sifter). I take a piece of clear packaging tape and put it over the holes on the sifter. THEN I poke holes (6-7), where the existing holes are, but NOT ALL OF THEM! That way only some comes out, not a ton! I had the same problem! Once the whole sifter fell out and my product when EVERYWHERE! Hope it helps! Love your channel!

[@jillashley1006]

I'm excited to try the milani powder! I didn't know it existed. Always look forward to your videos. Thank you for putting your time into videos for us.

[@cassiephillips9011]

My goodness, I don't know another beauty guru here on KZbin that is as genuine, kind, down to earth and a true beauty! I love how true she stays to her self ,and continues to keep her sweet spirit and is totally unaffected by alot of the negativity that can come along with being involved in this lil beauty universe....I'm so proud my 16 daughter looks up to her!!jess your our boo♡♡♡♡♡:)!!!

[@icecrystalsinger]

thanks for recommending so many drugstore pressed powders. i feel like with the trends these days, people tend to barely mention any pressed powders and if they do, it's usually high end so this was super helpful!!

[@terrordise1386]

This video came at the perfect time for me! I'm going on a trip next month and wanted to finally get a powder foundation to use for on-the-go touch ups. Thanks for your recommendations!

[@ZoeSmiith]

WHEN YOU BUY A LOOSE POWDER AND HAS THE STICKER ONLY TAKE OUT THE HALF AND CUT IT. YOU DON'T NEED ALL THE HOLES. BELIEVE ME IT CHANGES THE GAME!!

[@dianeweakley9931]

Diana Pl' Wow great tip, thank you! 😆

[@CristinaMistwalker]

Diana Pl' never occurred to me, great advice, thank you!

[@innan.599]

I use tape.

[@chanellejade6206]

Another thing I’ve done before is Get A Pin or needle and just poke holes in a few of the holes!!!!!

[@cherm1959]

I know this is an old video but you're the only big youtuber I found to praise my HG sadly discontinued BetterSkin Powder Foundation. Instantly subscribed!

[@nicolemiller3483]

Hey Jess! In case you didn't know and wanted a loose powder with a touch of colour, the flower beauty one comes in tints. Casey Holmes uses "L01". She loves it. I'm not sure how many shades it comes in, as I live in Canada and they recently pulled out of our Walmart and haven't been able to find it anywhere else yet. 😞

[@laurastewart4633]

The Maybelline better skin is by far my favorite I've gone through so many of them, definitely my holy Grail powder, I use it everyday unless I'm trying something different but I always go back to it!! Makes my skin look and feel so flawless absolutely LOOOOOOOOOVE it!!

[@icantbelievethis0327]

I REALLY love your new background!!!! It looks great!!!! I love you and your videos!

[@backburnerart2299]

Okay, had to pause the video to tell you what I did with my NYC powder because that mess drove me crazy too. I took clear packing tape, cut a piece big enough to cover all the holes, rolled one side under to create a pull "tab", and put that over the holes. When I use it, I pull the tab up slightly and sift it into the cap. Then I put the tape back when I'm done. It's not a mess now and was a super cheap fix. 👍

[@zoemccarley2476]

Just got back from a hard day of school to find my favorite KZbinr has a new video!!! Love you! Also, your the only person I've ever found that loves Disney and makeup as much as I do!!

[@allisonkiser]

I love your drugstore videos! I am a stay at home mom, so it is nice to hear reviews on products I can grab at target for a reasonable price!

[@lyshana3432]

Even my skin type is not dry, but always watch jessica's videos❤️

[@madisonkorol3700]

The white/translucent version of the nyx hd finishing powder is one of my favorites, and it is really good at blurring pores and making your makeup look airbrushed!!

[@tracyballmes3289]

I enjoy waking up and having my coffee and your video.

[@newy0rk22ar1z0na]

Thank you for making this video!! I feel like everyone's favorite powders are always Sephora brands which I can't afford so I never know which drugstore ones are good! So this was sooo helpful

[@amykennedy7907]

You are brilliant Jess. The best at condensing information.

[@Melanie-zh9up]

That crushed velvet cardigan/jacket/shirt is sooooo pretty!!

[@Veronica.Celine]

i absolutely love taking a wet sponge and swiping it on the yellow side of the wet and wild contour palette in dulce de leche and using it to set my undereye

[@michellerhodes5477]

I love the Maybelline SuperStay Better Skin powder! It's the powder I carry around in my makeup bag that I keep in my purse! I have a baby Laura Mercier translucent loose setting powder I keep in there too but I reach for the Maybelline more often than not when I'm on the go and need a quick touch up.

[@Mel-pb5xw]

The rose shade of the Ben Nye powder is wonderfully brightening for fair to light skin. I'm significantly more fair & love it for under the eyes!

[@meghayes3181]

I love these drugstore videos! Thanks!

[@ProfessionalStory]

I love your channel!! I am a teacher too so I can always relate to you!! LOVE the drugstore series!! :)

[@TheDorkyT]

I have the Cover girl Better Skin powder that's been sitting in a drawer somewhere. Going to take it out and try it again, because of your recommendation! Thanks Jessica!

[@TheDorkyT]

oh sorry the Cover Girl one. :)

[@shanianjohnny2015]

Never been this early I love your style so much and you're so genuine. You inspire me daily and I've started reviewing all my makeup collection because of you. 😘😘 lots of love and love all ur videos.

[@TheSafetyMarshalPSF]

Hi jess love your video. Love when you go into teacher mode. The sifter component is more expensive and would add cost that many drugstore brands cant always offset without raising the price to the consumer. Its not down to a manufactuerer. Its a brand by brand decision.

[@carolinathriftchick]

Totally just skipped a video midway cause I seen this one in the side bar. Loved the video Jess and the powders you mentioned I totally agree with you on. Have you tried the Fit Me! Loose Powder yet? OMG....I love it. Typically I don't use a loose one but it is pretty amazing!! Try it!!!!

[@momnmebeauty5706]

I ❤ my Coty Airspun and Maybelline Fit Me! Loose powders. I've been wanting to try the No7 loose powder, too. Thanks for your recommendations!

[@lareeamanda6539]

I'm actually looking for a new powder right now perfect timing! Love u! Xox

[@daniellestashak2006]

Definitely made a list of new powders to try. I have been wondering about that milani prep set glow and I'm glad you talked about it. I use to use that NYC powder all the time and I loved it. I only stopped using it because my Walmart near me stopped selling their makeup which really sucks.

[@abigaillabar8877]

Wow! Your outfit is so adorable! Love these drug store videos! Thank you 😘

[@StephanieMarie]

It's funny you said the Boots and Cover Fx powders reminded you of each other...I use them pretty much interchangeably. I love the Boots so much. I've been using it more than my high end powders. It and W3ll People Bio Brightening have been my go-tos lately. 😘

[@melissaleonard5229]

I was just thinking I need to find a good pressed powder. I think I'll try the Milani one. I've always been curious about hourglass powders, but the price is definitely not in the budget. This was a great video. I always enjoy your clear and pointed reviews! oh and you look super cute. love the crushed velvet!

[@LaynasBookshelf]

I literally laughed out loud when she said "you my boo" lol love you, Jess

[@annachateau8970]

Your makeup looks so pretty,and flawless

[@CookieMonsterGirl1]

Hi Jessica! I have watched you for awhile now and I really admire how well you balance your job and KZbin all at the same time. I'm in my first year of college and I have recently decided that I want to become a teacher! Do you have any tips or advice because I am very lost on where to start right now lol. Love you!

[@user-ou5rg4vs7x]

Hi Jess! I have been so frustrated with my NYC powder for the same reason, so I looked on amazon and ordered a new container for loose powders that has a locking mechanism on the sifter to make it less messy. Not sure how well it's going to work but it was pretty cheap so it was worth a shot! Loved this video :)

[@branzfactor81]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the ELF hd powder in soft shimmer for setting my under eyes.

[@TerryAnnOnline]

I got the Milani powder because you recommended it. I love it! I have dry skin so I was scared of powder but it looks nice.

[@GuadalupeGonzalez-gr8qg]

Terry Rendon. Any flash back hon ?

[@MegaRandom1990]

JUST what I needed, I need a new powder. Thanks Jess!!

[@dianeparcero]

Hello! I really enjoy your videos and Snapchat stories, it is nice following you. Keep it up! 💕💕

[@amandasims4688]

Just the video I needed! I've hit pan on the few powders I own so I need to buy more. Haha. I also love the Rimmel stay matte powder one of my favorites!

[@tedoymisojos]

I love that superstay Maybelline powder. It's great to add coverage throughout the day and for neck and chest for the same use. The finish is very nice, not dry.

[@isabellelemieux1073]

i love the NYC on my dry skin. I block the sifter with a velvet powder puff (houpette! in French lol). It keeps the powder in and does not go everywhere. love the video!

[@whitajeman]

You turned me onto the better skin powder and it's my go to touch up for life now! I keep one in my purse and another in my dance bag Always. I use the sponge it comes with for instant fix plus it layers perfect on anything-bare skin, BB/CC creams, foundation you namw it

[@shanianjohnny2015]

Omg I know. I love the smell of the physicians formula one. You know I watch you a lot when I own every one of these already. lol. Love ya girl.

[@BearScowe]

*Love You Jess!!!* 😍😍😍 Btw, I know it Seems Strange because of the name 'Warm Light,' But that is actually the Lightest Shade of the Wet n Wild Photofocus Powder. They actually do have a decent amount of shades for a Finishing Powder. They have Deep shades too. I've used them as Bronzer! Beautiful Powder! The only thing though, is I feel like they don't Carry the Deeper Shades of the Photofocus Powder OR the Photofocus Foundation in Stores. You have to get them on Wet n Wild's Website, and that really irritates me for people with Beautiful Deep Skin! I am extremely Fair to the Point where I've been asked if I'm Albino lol, but I just do NOT like that it is so difficult for People on the Deeper End of the Spectrum to Find Products in Drugstores like Everyone Else.

[@lemorris51]

As 33 year veteran retired teacher, I understand the feeling of yelling, and mental exhaustion from teaching all day. I applaud your energy, and really do love your videos. I trust your reviews, and I know you understand the average woman's need for "bang for your buck"! 😀👍😀👍💕

[@cordebaker]

Physicians Formula loose powder has the flip top over the sifter and it has been my go to face powder since I was at least 15, maybe even younger (so around 14-15 years now?). I hate their shade range, or lack of, but the powder is fantastic. You should give it a try!

[@shellyadrian3257]

I'm glad you mentioned the salicylic acid- I unfortunately found out the hard way after ordering it. For those who have salicylate allergies, this is a major problem! Doh!

[@gailviel7498]

I really like the Physicians Formula matte powder. I'm having a difficult time finding the illuminating finish. Great video! Really enjoy your videos:)

[@mikinyckel439]

"I feel like I'm yelling, calm down Jess, they're right there". LOL! I laughed at that. You are a hoot girl. Anyways, I really appreciate this video! I have no idea what a good powder is in the drugstore! I have Marc Jacobs miraculous light filtering powder and it's freaking amazing, but I'd sure like to find a drugstore version! I just don't have a clue where to begin. This is so perfect! Thank you! ❤❤❤

[@angelis1125]

Girl I've been obsessed lately with powders. Trying to find the right one. I got like four in the last month lol thanks for the video!!!

[@anastasiak6111]

Jessica, what do you think about Revlon colorstay powder?

[@Jidionsolos]

What shade are you in the CG radiance powder? I've been looking for it everywhere so I'm glad you included the link. Yes, the new Milani powder is the best! Great video, Jessica!

[@samantharausch6842]

Thank you so so so much for doing a drug store video girl much love

[@geeksloveme]

I would love to hear your thoughts on the Maybelline loose powder...From one Jess to another. Love your channel!

[@Amydali86]

I loved that Wet and Wild pressed powder- same shade, btw, so much that I hit pan within two months, and I bought a new one already.

[@mrsauntnana]

"Did I say it or just think it?"....LOL!!! So funny! Jess....you always make me smile :)

[@meghanmurphy3461]

This is just amazing because now I don't have to go out and buy all of these to try them so thank you for helping me save money

[@katherinebrenner7377]

The green pressed Nyx powder is amazing for redness! That is my favorite tinted powder that is not a skin tone powder if that makes sense.

[@katey08h]

I love my water ice cold, so finally invested in a yeti. So worth it!!! I just use disposable straws

[@Mel-pb5xw]

Tiff Prendergast you don't need an actually Yeti for most day to to day use; there are loads of similar insulated cups for half the price or less that do a really great job. I ADORE the one I have & picked it up @ Meijer for $10; if about half filled w/ ice it keeps a drink ice cold for at least 10-12 hrs - often longer - which is fabulous.

[@clarinet3131]

I really liked the NYX HD powder, but it didn't keep me matte for long enough. Used it all up, though! I'm currently using the Essence matte powder and really looking forward to trying the new waterproof one!

[@jessicaloucks7]

You are seriously my favorite!

[@Sara-rd8nr]

Great vid! Any idea when Ulta's Fall 21 Days of Beauty will begin? You always seem to be in-the-know 😊

[@Sabibinladen]

I absolutely love watching your videos Jessica I just re subscribed because I lost your Channel Once I decided to switch to another KZbin account and make a Channel of my own you're really an inspiration I love your videos they're so honest and truthful and I love your personality you're so great.

[@celticlew39tv]

Thanks so much Jessica!!!!! Super helpful video!

[@sailorgrlie]

My favorite powder is the Flower Beauty pressed powder. I used it to set my entire face and to touch up throughout the day. I used to use the Rimmel Stay Matte but I felt like it always looked powdery. I like the Flower Beauty loose powder in LO1, but it's just a bit too dark for my fair skin even though it was the lightest color. I tried the matte loose powder but I hated it. I've never been able to make the white powders work even though I have really oily skin.

[@angiemurillo02]

Your pixie container has been done before. Bare minerals has that packaging for their night powder. I loved it too

[@SamIAm11332]

I am so bowled over by the Milani powder. I couldn't believe something so pretty was available at the drug store. The finish it provides is as good as many high end powders.

[@amyanderson3224]

If u buy online Wet n Wild has a large shade range 4 the photofocus powder, just not in store, i like 2 of the med-deep shades 4 bronze & contour cause the powders are so soft

[@S-R-H]

I de-potted my Flower Beauty powder. Got an empty container off amazon for a couple bucks and I like it a lot better. I have so many though.

[@CharlyD19095]

I love these videos, we don't have all these products in New Zealand but for most your advice is great! It's super depressing that most of our drugstore products are more than double the price of yours, for example the better skin powder retails here for $26

[@crysmarie523]

I love that maybelline powder too !

[@Free_Range_Female]

You are just a joy to watch. ❤️

[@evayaaasantewaa448]

Excellent roundup and guidance. Thanks!

[@sarah-beautyfreckled9811]

I do the wet beauty blender in the Wet n Wild Photo Focus and it looks so perfect too! Supposedly the CG is supposed to be a MAC Mineralize Skinfinish dupe.

[@brianaschino4903]

Can u a demo using the Nyx no filter powder? Im new to powder foundation and don't know what to try yet
