BUY THIS NOT THAT // BEAUTY BATTLE

[@MoonlitSunflower]

Would you consider a 1 week 1 palette video once or twice a month? It would be cool if you insert pictures of looks or demos on looks. I know you are not an MUA but your eye looks are pretty, and honestly most of us recreating looks are probably not an MUA either and keep things pretty simple.

[@shawnaburke8946]

This is a great idea!!!

[@kristinalouise9141]

I love this series, such a good idea.

[@MascarasAndMixers]

I ended up ordering the Dior powder no powder and the whole pan fell out when I opened my package. I was shocked. For dior price there should be a butler holding that pan in place lolololol. But at least I got a refund on it

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

oh no! love that remark though 😆

[@tammyeaton4791]

Yeah, that sucks. I’m glad you got your $ back on it. If that happens again with a pan, try Lock-tite gel glue.

[@samanthahernandez6286]

If you like Patrick Ta's powder blush formula, I highly recommend She's Adorable which is a beautiful shimmer Peach. Love love love that blush. It is so pretty.

[@KBellaBeauty1]

It’s so crazy how different makeup works for different people! The Rare Beauty mascara smudges on me so bad lol. Love these videos!

[@marysala7904]

I was a little nervous about the Natasha palettes for a second because I JUST got the Retro. Happy it was the one you picked. Now I just have to get the Rare Beauty mascara (but will probably add it to my Sephora sale order).

[@julsz528]

Ugh I got the rare, lawless and the Patrick Ta mascara and love them all !! I also got both Natasha Denona palettes , got the Dior powder etc .. man I need a money tree 😂😂

[@CarolinaRodriguez-kf9hp]

The description of the misters on the setting sprays has me laughing my 🍑 @630 am 😂😂😂😂 I love you Sam!

[@louisesharpy]

Keep doing this series. It’s one of my fav ever videos to watch ! I get so many great new finds. Ok. What about the Patrick Ta new blush palette. Talk me out of it. Ha ha

[@JackieGreeneBeauty]

Thanks Sam! Love the mist description! Lol Prefer the micro of Benefit! Will give ND Retro another look and Rare Beauty mascara sounds awesome

[@lalacarroll431]

I’ve been trying so HARD to wait until the Sephora sale to purchase the Natasha Denona Retro palette but every time you show it I feel weak lol!!! I’m just going to buy it!! I love the color story, I love the colors you wear it’s just my perfect palette! Now #SamSquad I had the Lawless One and Done mascara and I love it but I purchased the Rare Beauty mascara based on Samantha’s love for it. It’s such a great mascara on it’s own BUT if you want even more curl that literally lasts all day and night I highly recommend purchasing the Rephr eyelash curler!!! When I use the Rare Beauty mascara and my Rephr eyelash curler I get the most amazing beautiful lashes! They look long and so curled and again it does not budge!!! I’m probably the only person that has never tried the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray 😬 I love their All Nighter primer so I’m happy Samantha put this spray up against the new Benefit setting spray. I’m SOLD, I’m going to purchase it! Super fun video Sam!!! You picked great products for Buy this not that. ☺️💜

[@Penelope1958]

I really have been loving all of the $65 Natasha Denona palettes. There is just something so special about each one! I have always had a hard time getting my eyeshadows to last. My lids are not oily so I am not sure where the shadow goes but it just does. But with these particular shadows they last all day on my lids! I am so happy about that. Now I just need to find that perfect blush!

[@polly1141]

Have you tried Mac paintpot? Really helps me

[@Tarot.Destiny]

Great picks! Since I bought the Dior powder no powder on your recommendation (love) I’m sure I’ll find one or two things on this list. 😁 you’re tough on my wallet. You look beautiful! I didn’t catch the Instagram live….I’ll be sure to watch it. I can’t believe it actually dropped below 60 in Vegas….you were probably wearing your winter coat! 😂☮️

[@LadyRaqs]

Wow, I love seeing the Love and Retro palettes side by side! I now want the Retro palette!

[@megdvs21]

The love vs retro part of this video has inspired me and now I am sitting here with both palettes popping out a few shades from both to rearrange a few shades from love into retro and I am having so much fun looking at different combos of shades to put all into one 😆🥰

[@korierejoyce]

Thank you so much! I was just searching for a setting spray comparison video.

[@ThisLittlePiggySays]

Video idea: If you could only use one brand per category of makeup, which would you choose? E.g. Natasha for eyeshadow, Charlotte for lips etc. To make it harder, no repeats allowed!

[@melaniemunroe1010]

I’ve been considering all nighter and porefessional so that comparison was exciting!

[@melaniemunroe1010]

Ooooo I like a micro fine mist

[@liquidsand738]

[@latinaboricua6987]

[@lanaesworld6976]

The love palette was onsale when I got the retro so I got both. The love was only like 35 bucks

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

amazing!

[@bellamorda9582]

Got mine at that price too!! I figured if it sucked i wouldnt be out too much.

[@yeneka713]

I also feel like the UD All Nighter is a holy grail for me; however, your spray description and demo was weirdly helpful, and it has convinced me to try the Benefit spray too. LOL

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

😀😀

[@samanthahernandez6286]

I got a sample of the Porefessional one and it is a nice setting spray for sure. I like them both.

[@danielletrue1027]

CHAROLETTE TILBURY HANDS DOWN EASILY BEAT BOTH OFF THE SHELF FOR ME !!! I work in the medical field with a mask, and shield so I need my make up to stay put…. I wear make up maybe 4 times a week and I’m now on my FIFTH repurchase since the release…. Can’t set my make up without it but the other two are good for travel as I do not care If something happens to them hehe

Oh my gosh I loved this video! I’ve been eyeing the benefit and I loveeee the urban decay all nighter so I now I feel safe to try it out but also know it’s not an immediate need in my collection right now!

[@juliekruse4060]

This video made me realize that you made me buy a lot of products. Love and Big poppa to name a few! 🤣

[@marybonome2827]

Yay!! Love this!

[@megansellke]

Running out to buy the benefit setting spray now! The all nighter is my holy grail setting spray but I just moved to Guam and urban decay is impossible to find on island. So excited to have another option, the humidity/heat here is not at all kind to my makeup!

[@yvettejon3372]

Before you said a word I was struck by how pretty you look today!

[@danamiceart]

Thank for the ND information. I love them both but I'm getting one soon. Definitely going with the retro. Maybe I can get the love mini as well.

[@LifeOfJenn80]

I am tried every setting spray that ever was and my favorite is the Charlotte Tilbury I'm telling you nothing keeps my makeup in place better than that but before that 1 I use the huda

You did not make it easy for yourself this week! I love this series 💗 I also love the Rare Beauty mascara and the ND palettes head to head - I agree with you, but it is close!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

🥰🥰

[@tammyeaton4791]

I think the Retro will be a good companion to the Glam and Love palettes. The spray on the Decay iOS like the aggressive SQUIRT of a regular inhaler(forgive me, I’m an RT). The Porefessional has a sexy SPRAY of a Respimat inhaler with JUST ENOUGH PROPELLANT to get it out of the canister. Im NOT saying that EITHER setting product has propellant. Just an analogy.

[@tay_craycray]

As a gal with a chronic lung disorder, this comparison has me laughing out loud. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Sam’s comment section never disappoints

[@lojaned]

I have the shortest stubbiest lashes and have such a hard time with mascaras- I bought the rare beauty mascara on a whim and it has shocked me. You described it so well- they look like falsies (and not in a weird spidery way). I still have to curl my lashes but I’ve never been so impressed with a mascara

I’m going to need the #rarebeauty “perfect stokes” mascara. I need a good one. ❤️❤️❤️ Would you consider doing beauty battle (and use it - half face of the one you recommended/wins) & the nonchosen on the other side. IE: rare beauty mascara on one eye and lawless on the other.

I really appreciate you doing these videos!! Sometimes I am torn between two things from two brands that are similar and do not necessarily want a dupe, even though there is a time and place in my heart for those also. When I think about the All Nighter spray, I always use the mind set of “if it isnt broke, dont fix it.”

I do like the UD and Benefit sprays (UD is definitely a workhorse, but the fine mist on the Benefit is wonderful), but I echo some of the other comments about the CT spray being BOMB, because it really works for me (plus I think it’s alcohol-free, for the folks who are concerned about that). Only downside is if you’re sensitive to fragrance, you’ll want to skip it, because it’s veeeery perfumey.

[@chelle6767]

I am a more neutral eyeshadow wearer. I do not own the love palette as I know I wouldn't get a ton of use due to color story. I returned the Retro palette😐 Every look I did I did not like my makeup on me...yet it looks so beautiful on everyone else lol.

I most definitely already bought the Big Poppa and She’s so sculpted based off your recommendation 😂 I want the lawless and the rare beauty mascaras but I have to use up about 3 more of the ones I already own before I do that. I told my husband that as soon as I get the notification that the love palette is back in stock I’m getting it if it’s still on sale because I need it in my collection and I’m so scared it’s going away because of how long it’s been on sale for. I didn’t think I needed the retro palette until I saw yours and Angelica’s videos and now it’s on my loves list 🤷🏻‍♀️ and I just repurchased a jumbo size of the all nighter because it’s the only setting spray I use…

Hmmm funny, I bought the Love palette on sale half price last month and was just thinking yesterday that I really regret buying it even at that price. I love ND formulas in her other palettes and thought I could make enough colours work to make it worth it, but it's just not. All the pink mattes were chalky, don't show up on their own and muddy when blended with other shades. All the sparkle shades are flaky and dusty and don't sit on top of the mattes or blend into other shades. The purples are pretty but the formula of the cream-to-powder makes them unpigmented and hard to blend. I guess since you are saying Retro is pretty much the same as Love, that is another ND palette I will be sure to skip!
