BEST & WORST PALETTES BY BRAND (Drugstore Edition!)

[@emmkej9096]

Hi Jen! Yes please do indie version as well. I love these videos!

[@christahodges]

Yes! This would be awesome. I have 4 Juvia's Place palettes in my cart, but I don't know which ones would be the best to purchase 😳🙄🧐🤔

[@kathrynrady8028]

I’d like to see an indie version, particularly if there are some colorful palettes that you actually like. Sometimes I find them a bit predictable (the neutral palette is on top, and the colorful one is in the bottom) so maybe indie would be cool if you have some “unusual” favorites

[@GabrielaGonzalez-pq6vc]

You have such a big collection and your visual memory is so good I think I’d like to see this concept but by color stories, for example “Best golden palettes”, “best berry palettes”, etc. Thank you for all your hard work!

[@JenPhelps]

That's a great idea!!

[@raleemay]

Elf recently reformulated the Nude Rose Gold palette. It doesn’t have a mirror anymore and there’s a clear window but the shimmers are more metallic now. I love the Misundertood palette. But everyone has different preferences.

[@zumbamac]

I love the Wild Animal palette. I haven’t heard anyone else mention it. Would love to see some looks from it.

[@amymccray5251]

I love ulta shadows

[@suki-yuki]

Thank you for this video Jen!! Yes please, if you can do for indie brands too! 🥰😊🍓🍰🍒🍨🍫🎀🌸❤😍👑🍬🧁🍋🍦💜🎀🌸

[@disgruntledmoderate5331]

I love the ELF Rose Gold Nude palette, but I do have to agree with your objections to it. It works for me because I love light rosy eyeshadow and wear that more than anything, but I would imagine most people are looking for more variety. Yes, I would love to see an indie version!

[@JenPhelps]

Yes! I think it's a pretty palette but I'm the type of person who likes variety in palettes but otherwise the colors are beautiful! 🤗💕

[@sherrimiller5951]

If you want a bomb dupe for the Huda Beauty New Nude, check out the Hard Candy one. Spot on, cheap and great formula.

[@JenPhelps]

Yes it is! I did a video on that one a while back. 🤗💕

[@jordannbrandt1773]

Definitely paused the video and bought the Soft and Sultry Milani palette. It's on sale 20% off and free shipping. Paid less than $10! I love these videos, thank you so much for sharing, Jen!

[@JenPhelps]

They're such a steal right now! I got a backup too!

[@jennifereaves4525]

Nyx is expensive for drug store, that may be why you don't hear much about them anymore, many drug store brands have stepped up their game and are much cheaper than Nyx, nobody wants to pay that much when they can get just as good or better for cheaper.

[@meganmansfield7500]

Trying on some new NYX butter glosses actually! I like the Off Tropic palettes. Also a word to the wise, the new Blueberry gloss does NOT show up purple or sheer lol

[@l.mowahed5928]

Thanks. You are so good at describing the pros and cons of each palette!

[@leahfritsche4706]

Yep, would love an indie version of this video!💜

[@lyn930]

We certainly have a lot of similar drugstore favorites. I have a lot of Revolution palettes but one that i received for my birthday is the Courage Wild Animal Palette and I too am crazy about it. The formula is great, the colors are beautiful. I want so many of the newer Elf large palettes a few of the smallest ones... they are just great quality for drugstore. BH Cosmetics Smitten in Switzerland is a favorite and I want the Maybelline Nudes of NY. Least favorites are those that Milani changed the formula and there are quite a few of them. I don't like the Milani pastel palette at all. Loved seeing your favorites and worst. Thanks Jen . Blessings!

[@TheBlackrose0601]

I love my original comfort zone palette! The duo chrome shadow is one of my favorites of all time. I tried the new version and it is not as buttery and smooth as the old formula!

[@JenPhelps]

Yes!! So I'm not crazy!

[@travelvlogsuhislam1763]

Hiya, salaam, checkout Muhammad hijab videos on KZbin

[@1liberaldem]

I love the Courage palette! You can make so many different looks with it. And, I agree with you on the Huda "dupe". I was disappointed with it, and I really like Revolution products.

[@biancavilla2162]

Jen, you are the queen of makeup swatches!!! 👑💖

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much Bianca!

[@brekke668]

I totally agree with you about the Wet & Wild palette I just bought a back up from EBAY that had never been opened. I miss that formula in the three pan formula as well. I just started buying BH my favorite so far is Hanging in Hawaii by least favorite is the first one I bought is Welcome back to Brazil. The colors are nice but some are really patchy and hard to work with. The Ocean palette is my favorite ELF I bought that as soon as I saw it before I saw any reviews it just called to me. I was given the Disney palette and I enjoy it but I use it with other palettes. I really enjoy these type of reviews so please do an indie.

[@nanar8544]

Carol Gibson I miss those three pan as well from WNW.

[@KL-rn2qy]

Yes maybelline nudes of New York is probably my favorite palette right now. And Milani soft & sultry is one of my favorites too. Great picks. Awesome video.

[@PaolaRL]

Hi Jen! I just wanted to tell you that all of your videos have a very positive vibe, much needed especially now! 😀

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you Paola! I'm so glad you're enjoying them, I'm definitely trying to stay positive through everything that's going on. I have anxiety so keeping a positive outlook really helps to keep that away. :)

[@Gemma1558]

Thanks, yes please do an Indie version😊👍🏻

[@whatwouldleiado]

Just recently discovered your channel. I love your videos and all your honest reviews ❤️

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@carriemeadows3518]

I love that Rimmel Jewel Rocks palette, too. I just think the color story is so well done and the formula is decent, if not as strong as a Colourpop shadow. It plays well with other palettes, too.

[@christahodges]

Hello hello!! Excited to watch this!!! Thank you for your hard work to give us the best content to watch🙌👍🤗❤😊

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much Christa! Thank you for always being here! 🤗🤗💕💕

I actually just ordered 4 of the Milani Obsessions palettes for 10.99 each, 20% off, and free shipping😳🙌😊 It was their Friend's and Family sale a few days ago

[@JenPhelps]

They're such a good deal right now!!

[@AdventuresWithCarissa]

Did you get the Pure Passion one? That is one of my favorite palettes.

[@llchapman1234]

Bare Necessities and Love in London are my favs, too. I'd love to see you do this video format with Indie brands💜. Thank you for reminding me to love what I already have. I started watching you a year or two ago and you've steered me to some wonderful eye shadow palettes 😁

[@dazem8]

literally JUST got my ulta delivery today and I got the wild animal courage palette lol so funny that you mentioned that one. especially can't wait to play with it now. 😁

[@raleemay]

Another great video. I like how you describe all the different formulas. 👍🏼

[@florenceyoung1246]

Excellent video Jen! I value your opinion on palettes because you've been exposed to so many brands and formulas. I'm loving the maybelline nudes of new york palette too!

[@vanessapoorblackcat]

Thanks for showing us your best and worst palettes. I like the desert oasis palette from BH the most. There are matts, shimmers, brights and darks and even a multichrome in it. A wonderful everyday palette.

[@JenPhelps]

I love that one too!!:)

[@gasparinha]

I've been contemplating the Soft & Sultry Palette since it came out, and now that it's potentially being discontinued I'm about to pull the trigger - and this very day this video goes live. This is a sign. 👼

[@JenPhelps]

Haha definitely! They're having a big sale now too!

[@suzannetalbert8799]

Jen, going off color alone and watching your latest Sydney Grace picks I’d say you live bronze, copper and gold and any colors that can coordinate well with them, be it matte or Fall/Spring neutral looks. My tones too👍🏼

[@FebrithDarkstar]

I don't know how I missed this video - SUCH a lot of hard work from you - thank you!

[@ritamerrill3227]

You are so lovely, in addition to making great videos with useful content. I really like the looser wave in your hair, it suits you well. Your videos are some of the most helpful I've seen because you thoroughly compare colors, swatch, and discuss formulas. The time you take to do such a good job is appreciated!

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you so much! That really means a lot to me! :)

[@AmyBlack1206]

From Profusion the Confidence palette is so beautiful. I hope people bought that when it was out!! Also the Siennas is gorgeous. They need to use that formula all the time.

[@12dot12]

Yes! best&worst Indie palettes episode is a great idea. Also thanks for recommending Elf Earth&Ocean palette, I've bought it and it's so good

[@lubazak636]

I prefer him higher end pallets, but I do like the gold case 12 pan Milani pallets, especially Soft and Sultry and Pure Passion, which by, the way, all of them are on sale now on the Milani website. I tried BH cosmetics because of you. I like Love in London but my absolute favorite is the original Zodiac pallet. I am major into cool tones, but wear warm tones too, and love all the purple and cool shimmers in the OG Zodiac. As for Colourpop, I love so many of them, Sweet Talk, Give it to Me Straight, Going Coconuts, Double Entandre💣, Blush Crush ( even though I am annoyed at the two gorgeous mattes with glitter, but I’ve learned to load my brush and whack the glitter off), and am waiting for the Making Mauves, whenever they open again. I do have Flutter By to get me by, but the mauve pallet is my jam, and No Glitter (yay)!!! Thanks for talking me out of the new Sigma Rose pallet. I already have way too much. Stay Safe and Sane❤️❤️🥰🥰

[@JenPhelps]

Wow it seems like we have very similar tastes in palettes! All of the ones you mentioned I love too! :)

[@tracyfrederick5606]

I am definitely going to have to pickup the Nudes of New York palette. It's really pretty !

[@nicolebrowne1433]

I love Love In London! I can’t wait to see a review of the new BH Cosmetics travel series!

[@Thiggman-cs6wx]

This was awesome. I have to get that Elf Earth and Water one, the NYX Olive one, and I still need to get the 1st Zodiac palette. (And that's it! That's all I need!)

[@viv_677]

I feel like once I used indie brands like bh or colourpop I can't use drugstore anymore. Unpopular opinion but I really didn't enjoy the wet n wild color icon palette I got, and I absolutely hated the rimmel one i got as well. But I'm now so tempted to buy the Love in London and the wild animal because of this video even though I just ordered some other palettes lol. the downside of watching your (amazing) videos is the money I will spend as a result of them hehe. Appreciate the time you took on this video with the swatches, especially with bare necessities!

[@AdventuresWithCarissa]

I totally feel the same way that once I tried Colourpop most of the drugstore eye shadows have been a Big Miss for me.

[@littlelisa9042]

Awesome video, love that it was drugstore brands! The cool toned Milani palette is my favorite of the Milani 12 pans and I was also thinking about getting a backup! Of course I love and appreciate the swatches!

[@melaragones4106]

Jen your swatches are the best on KZbin!

[@emmkej9096]

Just finished watching the video, so I`m gonna comment again, haha. 😃 I have to agree with you on Wet n wild, I still love my old Comfort zone, those shades are so buttery and opaque, I think their new shimmers are dry and shear somehow, I like mattes more, but those aren`t incredible either, some are so hard to blend and patchy. And yes that revolution animal print palette is surprisingly good, I don`t own it, but my sister does, as well as the tiger print one, with warmer tones, with orange and peachy tones and I got to try them both and they seem like a big improvement from some of their older palettes.

[@JenPhelps]

Okay good so I'm not crazy! I know WnW said it was a new and improved formula but I think the old one was better!

[@watermelongal5512]

Thank you for this video! Loved to hear your thoughts on all these pretty palettes! 💕

[@Banoslen]

Thank you again for giving us your recommendations! I have bought a lot of palettes you reviewed and so far you have not steered me wrong. The BH Love in London and the Colourpop Bare Necessities our 2 of my favorite. I've been thinking of buying the Wild Animal palette as well... now I REALLY want it lol I really appreciate your videos!

[@JenPhelps]

It's super cheap right now, like $7!

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

Thanks, Jen! Great reviews! I just love these videos. Hope you all are staying healthy and keeping busy. Much love from Pittsburgh!

[@uglyducklingswan]

Loved this video. So nice to hear some affordiable palers that are good.

[@katg3040]

Thanks so much for the Wild Courage palette review, Jen! I’ve got one thanks to your video and it’s by far the best formula I ever had, much better than most of my high-end palettes, including Huda, urban decay, Dior and many others! I’m obsessed!

[@mamamitz8250]

Hey Lady! I just purchased the Elf Earth and ocean palette on your recommendation. I'm excited to try it! Me personally, I'm a little burnt out on all the "pinkish/mauve" palettes. I've purchased a few of these because I thought they were pretty. However, I seem to have the same issue you do. The looking a little washed out and "sick" on me. I loved them all but....yeah. Thanks for the head's up on some of your drugstore palettes. Keep doing what you do, I love love LOVE your channel!!!

[@olfab1]

Completely agree for CP Bare Necessities!

[@trudyetoiles248]

could you please do a video on all your revolution palettes? Thank you!

[@raleemay]

I might get the Wild Animal Courage palette but hope it doesn’t sell out. I’ve noticed a lot of items marked down at Ulta have been selling out and not being restocked.

[@JenPhelps]

I have a feeling it's being discontinued because the other ones in the series are already gone from Ulta. I'll have to see if Revolution's website still has them!

[@raleemay]

Jen Phelps Oh no!! Thanks for checking, but thankfully it’s still in stock at the moment.

[@kennidystephens7289]

If you want good pastel shades, I recommend the Sugarpill Fun Size palette, the Nomad Tokyo Harajuku palette, or the Shroud Creepy Cute palette. They are more pricey than drugstore (like $20-$40 range) but definitely the best pastel formulas that I have used.

[@JenPhelps]

Awesome!! I keep hearing good things about them! 🤗💕

Can you do a video with the makeup revolution palette?

[@meitalkabeli509]

For me the Maybelline Burgundy bar was one of those products that I wanted so badly, and when I got it I was so underwhelmed. I ordered a few back ups of the Milani Soft & Sultry and Bold Obsessions, because no matter what I always reach for them and use them all the time, and still get complimented when I wear them.

[@JenPhelps]

Same here!! I was so excited when the Burgundy Bar was coming out but it was very blah. I'm so glad all the Milani ones are on sale right now!

[@coilsoflove2012]

The NYX brand for me started increasing their prices but the quality was not matching. My favorite Colourpop palettes are the Sweet Talk, California Love, Misunderstood, Disney Masquerade, and a lot more. However, if I had to pick 1 it would be the California Love for me. My least favorite was the original Yes Please because it was definitely not as good as the quality of the palettes now. I would like to see an Indie version of this type of video. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

You’re one of the only ppl I hear mention BH life in London but it’s one of my fav palettes of all time 👏🏼👏🏼 Idk if u own it but their 1991 palette is super underrated as well. All the shimmers are duochromes and I think the mattes are right up your alley!!

[@jancarolhg]

I really don't buy drugstore eye palettes anymore. I had so much bad luck with pigmentation, blending and texture. Back in the day I loved the L'oreal HIP duos and the infallible singles as well as Milani single shadows. But colorpop palettes are definitely a step above the rest. The quality and value for the price just can't be beat.
