Criticizing new makeup releases at Sephora and Ulta

[@MadisonStar]

the elf lip balms are so good! i’m on my 3rd one, smells amazing and really hydrating! they’re not like a thin lipblam. they’re almost to me like a mixture between a lipgloss and lip balm, just a bit more thicker and shiner than a lip balm, but not sticky and heavy like a lip gloss! 🤍

[@ellerchu]

Thanks for sharing. Hopefully this helps other people too!

[@lovedrakexx]

Hello, so Elf lip balms are tiny but they are really moisturising and last long on the lips so dont need to be reapplied often. They don't have high shine though ❤

for me tbh all the “bad” lippies are rlly good, like carmex, laneige masks, etc, but “good” lippies make my lips feel like lumpy/full of dead skin, like elf, laneige balms, etc..

[@lovedrakexx]

@@ellerchu let’s us know what you think if you end up picking them up! ❤️

[@marinam9554]

I love how you use your makeup brush as a microphone because i've never seen any youtuber do it before so its very unique , by the way the heart brush is giving a very cute pink easthetic .

[@ellerchu]

Thank you 🫶

[@tiffity.taffity3214]

The elf lip balms are my favorite! I’d say they are comparable to Laneige. Definitely a super affordable option. The main reason they are my favorite is because they work well for me and are affordable. I have 3 different kinds only because I literally use them everyday. Usually I do not buy duplicates of things. I think if you have a lot of different kinds or the laneige balm then you don’t really need it though :).

[@ellerchu]

Exact reason why I probably won’t buy it. But reading reviews from other people helps me gain info to share. ♥️

[@itshope7813]

Hi Elle! A lot of the times I feel that sponsors don’t relate to me or don’t make sense for the content creator. But this sponsor does on both fronts I think this is a helpful app to help that could be if it anyone with better spending and is a perfect sponsor for your channel! So proud of your progress and love all your takes!

[@ellerchu]

Thank you!! I agree. ♥️ But transparently I will also be exploring a variety of sponsorships if I find personal interest.

[@itshope7813]

@@ellerchu that’s awesome thank you for the transparency it’s so nice to see and love the video!

[@theylikestars]

the elf squeeze me lip balm is my favorite! i love the grape one the most since it has a sheer purple tint and smells like grape jolly ranchers, and they’re only $4 which is super cheap!! 💜

[@ellerchu]

♥️♥️♥️

whoever said blake's hair looked dry! girllll i was like, but nobody wants that look??

personally i haven't been watching you for a long time but i've loved you holding a brush like a mic since the day one why not, it's not harmful or anything

Thank you for watching my videos. 🥰

I’m so happy that the first sponsorship (That’s I’ve seen) you get is literally an app that’s like a reddit for makeup! Wohoo!🎉 🥳 Congrats!!

i found your channel yesterday and can’t stop watching your videos!! love your content, it’s making me love makeup even more haha

Ahhh welcome to the channel!! I hope you stay awhile. 🥳

Found your channel recently and have been loving it! Frankly, I'm a fan of the brush microphone. It was the reason I subscribed...it's funny.

[@ellerchu]

Exactly. Thank you for watching my videos and welcome! 🫶

[@nalee4189]

Luv the brush microphone 🎤 ❤️ its iconic 👏

[@themiles6513]

the elf lip balms have worked super well for me! long lasting & keep my lips hydrated even after wearing off. in a pinch ive used a bit on irritated dry spots from acne and seen a big difference LOL

[@ellerchu]

Love to hear that it worked on your dry spots from acne. 👏

[@nalee4189]

Honestly i really wishes Sabrina came out with a coffee scent instead of cherry. I feel like it more consumable and would really be a hit considering espresso

[@nalee4189]

Girly for the Blake hair line, ive heard a lot of how it drys out ur hair because she doesnt believe in conditioner 😅 so id rather not risk it

[@LuluLunavlogs]

You are so underrated! Can’t wait to say I’ve been here since 6k when u hit 100k!

The elf lip balms are pretty decent.. I like them don’t get me wrong 😅 They aren’t my favorite though, I like the Laneige and Summer Fridays lip balm better. The consistency of the elf lip balms don’t flow as well to me and are kinda on the thicker side. That was a lot 😅

[@ellerchu]

You’re not the only one who described it this way!

[@kaecarter7116]

girl I love the elf lip balms!! I've gone through 4 cause I keep one in every spot lol

[@Lslobo.]

5:02 I saw my comment In the video and actually gasped out loud 😭😭 I love your videos so so much! ❤ Also- the lip balms for elf. I have had 4 and finished 2 im trying to convince myself I still like them but, I kinda feel like they just sit on top of my lips and don’t moisturize them. I like the lanaige so much better. Save your 4 dollars

[@ellerchu]

Of course! Appreciate you engaging with the content. Thanks for sharing your review on the lip balms. 🫶

[@jennnifur]

i’ve tried the new glossier eyebrow pencil!!! the shape of the pencil makes it so much easier to draw on hair like stroke than for example kosas nano brow. its similar to goof proof from benefit. i wouldn’t say it’s similar to abh pomade but it’s certainly smudge proof! the swipe technique is interesting though, like sharpening your knife before use lol. makes me feel like im wasting some product but its interesting nonetheless. fenty blushes: flop. the video you showed makes them look so much more pigmented than they actually are. they def feel buttery but not as pigmented or creamy as Haus Labs blushes, big pass as a blush lover. nudestix came out with a cream to powder blush!!! those are worth checking out!

[@ellerchu]

I saw the fenty blushes in store the other day and was not impressed 😭

[@lindasadler6338]

I like the Elf lip balms! The grape scent smells a lot like the purple Laneige lip balm tube!

[@ellerchu]

Thanks for sharing 🍇

[@ElenaNiccolai-uk4id]

hi! So apparently there is a sweet tooth mist that only costs 10$, which is more affordable than paying 20-50 dollars on the pefume if anyone is intrested.Hope you found that helpful

Oh yes, forgot about the body sprays!

[@Fern.Randall]

I brought the original Naked Palette on Poshmark. A couple of days later, announced its rerelease! Can’t say I wasn’t annoyed! But the OG works fine for me, so if the Limited Edition new version is staying for longer, I’ll consider buying. Love your videos Elle! 💖💋

[@ellerchu]

I'd be so mad 😭

[@ElenaNiccolai-uk4id]

i saw the elf lip balms in store and ngl they look very tiny for 4 dollars

[@ellerchu]

It’s likely smaller to allow a higher quality formula and lower price (just my guess). But so far the comment section has good things to say!

[@Araedra]

All I’m saying about elf lip balms is good for travel and hydrating needs more flavours

[@HeatherHunterJ]

I found the Tati palette on Poshmark 😂🎉 I was so excited- not my color story but history made me want it

[@ellerchu]

Ohmygosh. Tati Beauty will be coming back eventually 👀

[@myriamgagnon68]

Only thing about the elf lip balm is the applicator is tiny. Otherwise complete dupe for the laneige ! And yes I do have both :P

I think the new CT mascara is a tubing one. Hopefully it will come to the US soon!

[@ellerchu]

ouuuu, I like the idea of that 👀

[@lavayuki]

I have been dying to ask this, but is that brush you hold like a mic an actual mic? or is it just a brush? The fenty blushes look interesting, I liked the cream ones and also their recent releases have been pretty good so am curious to see what those are like. I saw a review by Charlotte Holdcroft about those dior sticks and the stick bronzer looks really nice and subtle

[@ellerchu]

Its just a brush lol

[@Rosemarty27]

omg i loveeee the elf lip balm for only 4$! there so good

Bésame cosmetics has pretty vintage looking makeup. I have the blushes and they come in little tin cans. The only thing that made me do a double take was the hair care but I think I’m going to pass on everything. I’d rather buy a different detangler once I finish my current one

[@ellerchu]

I think I’m looking for just weighted and refillable packaging. I noticed besame has some but there selection seems limited. 👀

[@TheLilyGraceLife]

I LOVE how moisturising the elf lip balms, but the scent is far too strong for me. I have the vanilla, and I often love vanilla scents, but it smells like fake birthday cake, and I unfortunately can not look past it.

[@ellerchu]

Ooof not a fan of that scent either. But at least they have other options!

[@Banniegirl]

Dang so many ppl love the elf lip balms. They are not it for me. I actually threw mine away. 😂 I want to try the CT mascara

[@ellerchu]

Makeup is so personal 😆

[@Bestie_Bri]

The ELF lip balms are amazing! They are really hydrating (at least for me) and I like them better than laneige. The tubes are small but for $4 I’m not mad at it lol they fit in purses and pockets and stuff nicely 🙌🏽 The CT mascara has me excited lol I don’t try mascaras…I usually just stick to my one favorite but this one has me ready to cheat on my Gucci mascara 🤣👀 Loved hearing all your thoughts! 🥂

[@ellerchu]

You love the Gucci mascara? How well does it hold a curl? 👀

[@Bestie_Bri]

@@ellerchu it holds better than most mascaras that aren’t waterproof..but not as good as a waterproof mascara, if that makes sense ?

[@seanian8986]

Pat McGrath has REALLY struggled post covid. She really needs to expand her presence in the midrange price category.

[@Evie-xf2yf]

Personally I think that the urban decay palette looks super cute, but I already the og have space cowboy so depending on the price will determine if I pick it up! ❤️

[@ellerchu]

I’m going to guess it’s $49-50. Its so cute!

[@MukbangMondays]

The Elf lip balms aren’t worth it. Just get caramex at that point. That’s what they smell like and feel like

[@ellerchu]

Interesting take 🤔

[@rodeenfarnaghi2974]

Am I the only one who thought glossier already had brow pencils?😭I really like their products and also I think they are discontinuing/discontinued or changing the formula of their highlighter bc it’s not in sephora

[@ellerchu]

That’s why I was confused to why they were just now launching them! But I only know of their boy brown and brow flick.

[@pinkbubblesnake]

I'm so surprised everyone loves the Charlotte tillburry packaging. It just reminds me of bourjois mascara tubes. Or rimmel for some reason. But I always find Charlotte tillburry packaging to be cheap looking.

[@ellerchu]

Valid perspective. I’m not sure why, maybe it’s just the shape that I like. 🤷‍♀️

[@sino5024]

Hi, Are the iris points rewards available in europe? Because i live in spain and I might be interested, It sounds good 😂 Edit: i checked your link and It says the app is only available for Apple and i have an android 😢😢

[@ellerchu]

Currently they’re only available in the U.S. on Apple. I hope they expand soon!!

[@barbiiesplayhouse5410]

The mascara is definitely not clump proof lol it is good I'm not going to lie but it's not clump proof it does leave you like the spidy leg lashes look

[@locki_moki]

12:22 #nomascaralook ? Would you maybe get a get ready with me, without mascara? 😅😊

[@ellerchu]

There’s not much to film.. 😅 I do everything else and leave my eyes with some bronzer, curled lashes and no mascara.

[@d011p4rtz]

I didn't even notice the brush until you said something 😂I caved and bought it because I couldn't afford it the first time🥲I really hate how brands prey on FOMO and I've heard it's not ass good as the first OG version; price wise, color wise, formula wise and size wise (you get less for more). I've heard its leans warmer which even with my medium skin tone, I still prefer cooler tones. I'm expecting to be disappointed but I got FOMO and caved because I wanted it so badly the first time and missed my chance . I got it specifically for the deeper browns, black and gunmetal shades because I *only* do grungy looks. I've always loved URban Decay *BECAUSE* they appealed to more alternative aesthetics; to see them blanding themselves down makes me sad. their formulas just aren't what they used to be. I like the black, red and purple palette🤷🏽‍♀

[@ellerchu]

I know! UD use to be more of an edgy brand, especially with color. But like most brands they are sticking to what most people buy - neutral, core products. I hope they make a shift back one day.
