December 2011 Hits and Misses

[@RachelWhitehurst]

that lancome concealer was my absolute favourite thing too! I am so sad they discontinued it. I feel like so many of my favourite things are always discontinued.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@lilqtxanq3l Of course! Lol. I seriously can't get enough of that blush. I'll try to do more OOTD videos in the future. :)

[@frmheadtotoe]

@freakyrookie96 Hmm, they are both neutral but that look was more two-toned and here I did a monochrome look with no false lashes, so it's more natural. :)

[@frmheadtotoe]

@Thecrazybaka I'll have to keep testing it out and keep a watch for if it dries my lips out. I've heard mixed reviews for both Baby Lips and Revlon Lip Butters on that front.

[@frmheadtotoe]

@sincerelysarahb absolutely! :) video response away!

[@mytubbie29]

You can use the Dior Amber Diamond as eyeshadow as well. It looks stunning on the eyes with unique neutral colors

[@jenc0203]

i love the nars stick concealer! i used to have it in custard, but i exchanged it for ginger because i found that it offers A LOT more coverage for some reason. it covers up my dark circles so much butter and i love how it doesn't crease up in the little lines under my eyes.

[@sam1717chris1616]

i watch a lot of makeup gurus on youtube... but im noticed that youre the only one that i NEED to see all the videos haha i usually miss videos, but never yours lol

[@EtoileBaby]

No misses? Great as always Jen :) MAC's Nylon eyeshadow is my favorite highlight for that flawless Korean look and my favorite for a natural look is the YSL Eclat Pen :)

[@JetSetFork]

I love your hits and misses Jen. And now I want to try the Dior highlighter, so pretty!

[@frmheadtotoe]

@behappyandsmileLOL I seriously considered that but since I had barely used it, I decided an exchange would be easier. :)

[@sazzathespazza]

Jen- you are so inspirational and amazing here on KZbin! Seriously, you are one of my favourite gurus and one of the first I've ever subscribed to, and listened to, in terms of advice and tutorials. You always manage to look beautiful and energetic in every video- I'm so jealous haha! (: Thankyou for being such a friendly and informative KZbinr, and most importantly, a friend to everyone in the KZbin community! :D Wishing you the best in 2012! A big fan, Sarah(:

[@InSearchofaSunrise]

I've tried pretty much every highlighter on this plant and the best in my opinion is the mary luminizer by the balm. You should try it, it is amazing and has no chunky glitter/shimmer...it adds a beautiful sheen that looks like natural moisture on the skin rather than a frosty sheen.

[@tea4al]

The CVS in my town had the L'oreal eyeshadow thing not in the L'oreal section but in t skincare aisle on top of the shelf displayed separately which is so weird for me but it took me 30 minutes to find it XD. I have that same color (bc of your video from last time with the swatch) and I LOVE IT! I think it's personally great for ppl on the go and someone who is JUST getting into makeup. It really is beautiful and easy to layer

[@simplyashleyseol]

I really love the dior amber diamond! It gives the prettiest glow (:

[@TheBella429]

the diorskin nude is also an amazing foundation...very glowy and natural, like your skin but better!

[@crystalbeauty71]

wow, jen you are on a roll of videos^0^ love your favourites!! got to try dior amber dimand now, have been wanting that FOREVER^0^~ HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

[@Kill2KIM]

it's kind of funny that I live almost halfway across the globe away from you, almost all the products you mentioned aren't even sold here, but still, I just love watching your videos!

[@Krista.Williamson]

This is the first video I have watched..I really enjoyed watching!..I just bought a bunch of the infallible eyeshadow's the other day..I couldn't resist them..They're gorgeous!! xo & ♥ K

[@UhapiBeauty]

I purchased a lifetime supply of the Lancome Photogenic concealer in the same color.

[@dogforever4]

Aaahhh!!!! I must try that UD mascara! I've been so hesitant to splurge on high end makeup but after seeing your lashes (i have short asian lashes and monolids too) i'm definatly sold on that mascara. And the Nars concealer. I love Revlon photoready for its color, creaminess, and coverage but i despise the sparkles in it.

[@kooleo1014]

i have the baby lips in pink punch too and it's super neon pink on my lips but I really love it for some reason because it gives me a good pout and splash of color. I am probably going to buy all of them because they are very cheap and moisturizing.

[@likeastar89]

the highlighter looks gorgeous!

[@CoderDBF]

"those are evil, man!" haha it's these little things that you do and say that make your videos extra enjoyable to watch. x

[@SuperHipmama]

Okay...I'm hooked onto Tarte's Exposed too!! I would have NEVER bought it just by looking at it. But, you are so right. It does go with almost everything/color!!! Thanks!

[@sophializshine]

Oh I love the Dior highlight!

[@kyramioso]

I don't know if this is positively correct but I heard from another KZbinr who loves using the Diorskin Poudre Shimmer in Amber Diamonds that you should dust/wipe off the product before you use it because theres a gold glitter finishing spray/layer on top to act as a packaging detail, something that made the poudre look good in the pan for aesthetic appeal,like a finishing touch to the packaging/concept of the product. Even so this has been on my wish list for awhile! It looks gorgeous.

[@laz1xbebe]

Jen I love your reviews. They're so informative and helpful. Love your glow and natural look in this video! :)

[@risses24]

omg i swatched that Dior Amber Diamond highlighter when i was at Sephora it is sooo pretty!!!

[@chocoy7]

It's at Jewel Osco!! I just got the L'Oreal infallible eyeshadow there in 890 Bronzed Taupe :D

[@sophiefcoleman]

That lip color looks so pretty on you! Need to get it.

[@luvingxangel]

Usually if things break from Sephora, if you go back they'll replace it. I don't know about concealers but when my friend's compact broke and crumbled, she went back and got it replaced with a new one.

[@deed0temm]

I love the way you talk. I would still watch even if it was only audio! :)

[@abbre9800]

Love the L'Oreal infallible eyeshadows. I've found them at CVS and Target.

[@justjumpit]

My Nars concealer broke as well after first use!! which is a pity because I was also being very careful, and I love the product! Kind of wish they'd stuck with the lipstick style packaging.

[@MyBeautyPerspective]

Hey luv, thanks for another amazing video. I always enjoy watching you. Hopefully I will have my favorites video up soon, I've just been so busy with all the holidays :)

[@turquoiseyou]

i went to sephora today and got that cannonball mascara thanks to you;) ugh 20 bucks on a mascara when i already have so many others that work great on me! ugh your videos always make me buys products ! awww well i know im gonna love so..

[@twothfairy32]

I bought 2 of the Loreal Infallible shadows at Rite Aide. Love them! I bought a matte grey and a metallic blue.

[@lmchou1210]

if you like stick concealors that are on the dryer side try the revlon colorstay stick concealor. its not overly drying yet is firmer than cream concealors:)

[@battlestar13]

i have problems with doing waterline lining so I'm definitely investing in that NYX slide on! thank you Jen!!

[@PrincessPebbles1991]

we just got the infallible shadows at the ulta i work at! I'm excited since I get a discount sooo I will definitely be checking those out!

[@asdfghjklHi123]

i love your voice, i think thats one of the reason why i subscribed :)

[@PurplexHorsie]

Could you do a 2011 favorite products (makeup & skincare) video?? I would really like to hear what stood for the whole year. :) Thanks! and Happy New Year!

[@MsBB37]

Jenn, please do a tutorial for this eye makeup you have on in the video! It's so gorgeous!

[@aulryelycommand]

You're not alone! My lashes are just like yours and it gets so annoying that the formulas for a lot of mascras barely hold. I'm going to try this out! The urbsn decay!

[@aligenny]

try the lauta mercier secret camouflage concealer palette, it has two shades and one is a dry texture like the nars u mentioned and the other is more creamy, it is a nice little palette! plus u can mix the two colors for a perfect match. i think its also around twenty dollars at sephora

[@fwaziri1]

I was wondering what was different with your make up today and it was the Dior Amber Diamond highlighter. It looks great on you. I have it too and haven't used it for awhile. I think I should try using it more.

[@woodwindflavored]

Favorited not only because you are wonderfully charming and you make beauty videos worth watching, but also for the "those are evil.... man." :)

[@ElaineDraws]

Hi Jen, I know you don't usually do hair tutorials - but can you please show how you curl your hair? It's so pretty! :) Whenever I do mine, it's either too curly around my face... or too awkwardly straight around the face if I only try to curl the bottom. Your hair seems to sit perfectly.

[@sadiekins21]

Also, I know you were talking about how your eyelashes slant down, my best friend, who is Korean, had that too, and she actually got surgery for them, and now they slant up and curl very nicely. Just in case you ever want to try something new, she loves her new lashes :-)

[@itsbliur]

Btw, if you want a really fine milled powder with no shimmer particles on it, try Kevyn Aucoin Celestial Powder Candlelight...gorgeous! xx

[@BeautieCandy]

you got my favorite highlighter, the Dior Amber Diamond! :) It's amazing!

[@TrishLovesVNV]

you should try the shu uemura gel concealer in medium yr (it's in a pot format). i'm extremely yellow, and this matches perfectly. PLUS, it's a drier formula and lasts forever. it's been my hg for years! This is a reformulation of the pro concealer :) the reformulation is just as good as the original version.

[@uncchristine99]

I like the 24/7 black/brown duo in the Naked palette but I've been looking for a less expensive dupe. Liquif-eye was supposed to be that dupe--it does come out smoother and is more pigmented than 24/7 but beware if you wear contacts. I like to tightline and Liquif-eye smeared all onto my contacts. I couldn't even rub it off. Jen, if you find another dupe for either of these, please share with us!

[@SarahBarrett]

Yes! I love your hits and misses videos (: Is it okay if we leave our December favorites in the video responses?

[@amanjahaha]

You and pixi2woo are now making me really want that Dior highlighter... :)

[@gabrielleclayvon]

The Amber Diamond works really well for my caramel colored skin tone. I thought that the price was reasonable for such a high-end brand. Especially since their Blue Tie compact was $70 when it first came out (now it is $40 at Sephora).

[@Annabells117]

For the longest eye shadow ever, better than MAC paint pot & Armani ETK combined --- Maybelline Color Tattoo. I have been using the pearly white or bronze as bases virtually every day on everyone. For highlights, I recommend that you try Estee Lauder. Or for a cream, try Boots No 7.

[@the.kyung.]

awesome video! i am dyyying to try the loreal shadows! i SUPER recommend the hard candy glamoflage concealer! it gives AWESOME coverage. and its not dry because its a liquid-ish/cream formula

[@sparklefarter]

i love the maybelline baby lips!

[@chentingting]

I saw L'Oreal infallible eyeshadows at ulta. Amazing.

[@LucyLuluification]

I have exactly the same type of eyelashes, and i finally got the answer of what i have to wear to keep the curl THANKYOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU so much :) you have no idea how many makeup artists and people i have asked.... :)

[@allthatspiggy]

Jen, happy new year! I love your videos, and cannot wait to see what you have in store for the new year:) xox

[@emthao]

Although a lot of gurus have said that the baby lips lip balm is moisturizing I found that it made my lips dry,I liked it for a while but then I realized that it made my lips dry instead of moisturized

[@shawkoh1989]

found my loreal Infallible Eyeshadow at Wal Mart today! Love it!

[@ehtnax]

Hi jen, I would really appreciate it if you could do a make up removal procedure ! In this video you mentioned that you use only waterproof mascara so wouldn't removing it in the wrong way damage your eyelashes? :( I've been asking for this makeup removal video for a long time and i hope you'll see this one ! :)

[@tinaHL82]

Hey, have you tried the 'heroine make' mascara? I have similar lashes where they droop at the front and have difficulty finding a mascara that holds them up for the majority of the day. The 'Heroine Make' mascara is excellent, and keeps my lashes curled all day (mentioned it in one or two of my HK haul vids), just make sure you purchase the 'heroine make' mascara remover too, cos its hell getting it off otherwise!

[@gratay]

You should try the Shiseido natural finish cream concealer. It's honestly the best concealer i've ever tried. I wouldn't use it as an under eye concealer though.

[@Mtbeltmix]

My fave wp mascara is the Maybeline lash stilettos. (I've tried them all...) I put it on in the morning, work 9 hours, then go crossfit and it doesn't run and keeps my curls. And have you tried Careprost? Its the generic version of latisse and it's only $10. It totally works. My lashes are so long, I never have to wear false lashes.

[@wevkjuzcdrf]

best mascara is misshas 3d mascara for only 2,500 won. i have short and downward pointing lashes as well and people ask me whether i am wearing falsies saying that my lashes are really long. its seriously the best mascara! please try and let me know what you think :)

[@smooth_Koala]

Okay, I am a girl, and I like boys, and I do like make up too. but I just want to add that I REALLY looove her not only for her tutorials and reviews, but also just for her! She's super beautiful, down to earth, a great role model for us girls, and I just love watching her videos. Seriously, she can be talking about toast and I'd still love watching her. Like others have mentioned, it's the charisma.

[@mcmelre]

The L'oreal Infallible eyeshadows totally creased on me. Like in a couple of hours, and I even applied them over UDPP. I thought they were pretty worthless, and I took them back. Which is sad because the colors and metallic finish were beautiful :(

[@kokodi28]

i couldn't stop staring at your YSL ring o__o it's so awesomeee

[@rxv8963]

i use korres concealer and love it. i have dry and sensitive skin.

[@mgk2bjp]

Have you tried Korres concealer? It has great under eye coverage without being cakey - it blends really well with foundation and my skin79 BB cream. It also has some nourishing properties for your skin :)

[@lilqtxanq3l]

Are you wearing the Tarte Exposed blush here? You should definitely do outfits of the day for this video and for others as well if possible. Thanks!

[@originalsince96]

hey jen, i found the infalliable eyeshadows at target for only $6.50! they have tons of colors!

[@sfinne4]

Oh MY Gosh! Your Ring YSL!!!! Im in love!!!

[@criticalpsyko802]

the loreal shadows have been at target for about 2 weeks now! :D

[@ASentimentalJourney_]

I was so surprised, my local Target has the infallible shadows already!!!

[@charmbraceletify]

The Physican's Formula Shimmer Strips look like they could be a great dupe for that Dior highlighter.

[@porkchop713]

try the baby lips in cherry me (orange tube, red writing on cover). it's a gorgeous red that sort of looks like a lipstick...without looking like a lipstick. i've had a lot of girls at work comment on it at work (since they know i don't own a lipstick) wondering what it was.

[@arinemiko]

i bought my infallible shadows at a CVS in atlanta for under $8 and they were buy 1 get 1 50% off! crazy! i love them. i bought 4 also.

[@pequenise1]

Yay, "Hits and Misses" videos are my favorite ones =D

[@jazzminb]

Have you used the smashbox concealer? It's packaging is very similar to Nars' and works well for me, at least. Though I prefer lancome for my concealer

[@oddgal13]

Hey Jen, I've always been so curious as to how you continuously keep wearing all these different nail polishes in all your videos without your nails becoming damaged?? My nails start to split after a few weeks and I've just noticed that you have different coloured nails in almost every new video and we never see you without nail polish! Give us your tricks!!!

[@kerinyee]

you should really try lancome l'etreme mascara in waterproof bcuz it is AMAZING!!!! it lengthens and volumizers and i just love it!!! i have stick down lashes and this makes it soooo lush!

[@curiousmargaret]

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadows are at Target! At least in my town. :)

[@TeapotMagnet]

You should try the Kiss me marcaras! You can choose either long and curl or volume and curl. They both are super waterproof and build-able. Its a little expensive because its comes from asian countries so you have to get it from ebay or some store similar. I personally love it and i hope you try it :)

[@Asyut2]

OMG a recommendation for a waterproof mascara would definitely be MUFE smokey lash aqua (?). It's VERY waterproof and it takes me almond oil to get it off! You should totally try it! :)

[@EmmaInsua]

Yesterday a buy the l'oreal eyeshadow I buy the black one, and the 017 sweet strawberry (a lovely pinki color) and the 013 burning black (amazing color within a black and a purle) I'm from argentina, and this are made here so I don't know if in USA you have the same colors

[@greenapple782]

I've watched a few other video's featuring Dior power products. Tiffany D mentioned in her October Favourites video that her Dior Bronze Blush had a thin gold lining that flaked away after the first use. I'm not sure why Dior would do that... If it's just for looks it's pretty silly, especially when you're excited to use the product for the first time and you get crazy gold chunks on you!! Haha love your video's Jen, you're stunning :)

[@selena08]

in California they have the L'Oreal Paris Infallible Eyeshadow at all of my drugstore already. I live in the Central Valley

[@goodgirlxlol]

You should really try lancome's definicils mascara my friend uses it and its really good. Its a dryer formula so its great for drooping thin lashes and the brush is quite thin as well. :D

[@babyprincess3121]

I LOVE BABYLIPS !!! I have like 3 and I'm addicted. Quench and PepperMint are both clear.

[@smileystar774]

Hi Jen! I love watching your videos and I get really excited when you have a new video! What color eyeshadows are you using in this video? Is it just the infallible one?

[@Loumetalsinger]

i love mac`s silver dusk for highlight its so pretty

[@shojofreshman]

How do you recommend removing your mascara? Even with mascara that isn't waterproof I always have difficulties removing it.

[@exlinda978]

The physician formula the shimmer strips the Vegas strip/light bronzer is very similar to the Dior.

[@mnataliie]

I lovee Dior products. Their face products make my HG list!
