DID I REALLY Need This New Makeup? 🤔(I had some similar stuff already).

[@justrose6978]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the new fancy fingernails 🤩. You're just glowing lately! This was a VERY valuable comparison video! Your content is always so valuable to watch. Definitely make more like these, thanks Jen. 🩷

Aw thank you! I got some press-ons in PR and I've been having fun trying them out. :)

[@joannogas4391]

I LOVE your presentations. Especially the thoroughness of your comparisons. You cover minutia like color, weight, texture and sheen in a way we can clearly see in your demos. How you can possibly keep track of everything you have in your collection to put it all together for us, is truely amazing. Thank you for all the work you put into each video. Not a bad one in the bunch.

[@bevyoung2009]

Her content on this particular video is being paid for by the 12 products listed in her bio as well as KZbin.

That said, she's still a definite favorite for me. IF she isn't telling you EVERYTHING, It's not for a lack of her trying.

And you don't have to listen (or ff) minutelong chatter about some random things that often have nothing to do with the other content. Really appreciate that, too. 😊💜

[@elvilopez7910]

Are you saying that if she did sponsor content, she would lie about it? I'm sorry, but this is a dumb comment. While I might not always agree with Jen's reviews because we have different skin types, it doesn't mean she would lie because she is sponsored or not. If the KZbinr wants to be an honest person, they will be an honest person regardless if they are getting paid or not. She gets PR, so she is getting something from the companies . Might not be money for the video but the product, and I would like to think she is honest with her review regardless of whether she received it free or not.

[@staciemelissa1122]

I have watched all of the influencers I subscribe to rating the Mario bronzer but it wasn’t until I watched you that I made my decision. I truly trust your opinions and or recommendations ❤

[@laur83]

having similar stuff already is such a common occurrence for makeup consumers today, i’d say 😂 sooooo many products seem to resemble others already available. and even if we know that, it can be really hard to avoid the hype 😭 that being said, makeup releases have been really fun this year, i feel.

[@strll3048]

I wish every beauty reviewer had a component like this on most makeup products. Thank you.

[@wendyd1229]

I’m glad you showed baked blushes. I live in the south with near 100% humidity in the summer. Baked products last so much longer compared to jelly/cream textures that literally slide off the face. I don’t use matte setting sprays or powder my cheek area because of my skin texture.🩷

[@dianereiser6417]

Laura Geller blushes are the bomb, plus, you can get 30, 40, 50-60% off if you sign up.

[@sevothtartesama18]

You and I are both fans of the cooler toned blushes, but Blissed from Kosas looked EXTREMELY good on you! It looked absolutely natural and radiant and very very youthful! Gorgeous on you.

[@corbitt61]

Wow! Those Kosas baked blushes swatched like they were creams. Very pretty...and what an incredibly useful video. Thanks for doing all that work for us.

[@jennbeth1]

The Covergirl bronzer is very pretty.

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I just received the Rare Beauty Bronzer in a Boxycharm box, and it is beautiful for cool tone girls like us. The shade is Bright Side. It's a very creamy blendable formula even though it's in a stick.

[@Yaymimosas]

Those cool toned pink blushes look SO PRETTY on you!

[@brittbillok]

Thank you for talking me out of the Saie bronzer because I honestly already love love love the Moira liquid bronzer!!!

[@sherrigarrett3649]

After spending hundreds on makeup the last few years, I am not interested in buying anything new!

[@kathleenkaffeine8696]

this is why I love your channel Jen! Thank you for all the comparisons and giving us a mix of drugstore and high end options!

[@lauriemcc3]

Was so happy to see the IT Cosmetics cream blonzer product in this video! That one has been so intriguing to me, and I’m happy to see it wouldn’t be a waste as it doesn’t seem to match anything else in my collection either. Thanks for the great feedback, Jen! So grateful for the time you spend to help us avoid wasting money. You are truly appreciated!

[@littlelamb3417]

I have to admit, I ran, not walked, to get the Mario bronzer! IMO it’s the product of the summer! It’s gorgeous and worth the money. And yes, I would have had major fomo! I had considered the Saie, so thanks for reviewing!!

[@virtuallyerin]

Have you tried the Saie cream bronzer? I have it in Fair and it's just gorgeous.

[@LenaSheppard]

Oh this was so fun! I just love your powerhouse knowledge in comparing products & brands. Love your nails. You're beautiful. Thank you for being here !

[@JenPhelps]

Aww thanks Lena! Thank YOU for being here. 🥰🥰🥰

[@blimeyhermione07]

Good timing on this video, Jen! I’m looking through my collection and seeing if there’s stuff I don’t want anymore. I have a Colourpop liquid blush that I bought over 18 months ago that I love the color but I can’t remember the last time I used it. Plus I have a lot of debt already from FOMO so I need to try to get on a better track.

[@jacjorjac1]

I LOVE this new style video what a great idea! It made me pull out similar products and I realized I didn't need the new stuff 💞

[@melissayoung7451]

Always good to hear you don’t always need to buy the newest. Thanks

[@beverlynelson599]

Hi Jen! Wow, you look so beautiful today! Orange must be one of your colors! 🧡

[@JeanieD]

I guess I’m unusual (heck, I *know* I am, haha), but as a pale, cool-toned gal, no one has ever really sold me on “needing” (or even actually wanting) bronzer. I don’t want to look like I’ve gotten any sun.

[@stitchthemagnificent2240]

Same.

[@onimendez7735]

Same, never use bronzer since it makes my complexion appear dirty (at least that's how seems to me)

[@Eeveecat]

another very pale very cool toned gal here!!! i also don't use bronzer; i actually use a purpley mauve blush as bronzer sometimes, because it looks so much more natural and not orange

[@giantcupofcoffee]

I use it as blush. I don’t like blush tones on me but bronzer in that placement does the job.

[@laur83]

me too! thought i was alone in not really caring about bronzer 😂

[@blackcatt24]

At this point, what it boils down to for me is finding those cooler colors. I have avoided bronzer for so long due to those early days orange formulas, but now that I've found a few great rosy or neutral tones I'm starting to wear it more. This is an issue I have with all product types though. So I'm watching to see what colors do I get excited about. There are definitely some beautiful options here. Thanks, Jen!

[@misssunnydee]

Same! I didn't use bronzer the majority of my life. Everything was super orange or yellow, not to mention way too dark as well. I'm quite pale and very cool-toned (grey, sooner than pink). The last few years, it seems some brands finally got the 💡, as I now have actual cool toned bronzers with some reddish/pink or greyer-brown tones, that do not look dirty either and that are affordable. For now, it's mostly powder bronzers, but the cream bronzer (named a Chanel dupe) by Revolution is a start. Could be a bit cooler for my taste, but a light hand gives a great look in summer. The lightest putty bronzer by E.L.F is unfortunately too cool for a bronzer. More contour. I'll have a look at all these liquid ones she's shown for a 2nd time. I'm on a drugstore budget and prefer luminosity and not a shimmer, so I'm not sure I'll find anything. If you have tips, I'm all ears! (I still haven't found a good enough BB cream or foundation either, even though I'm close to 47yo, but I'm less focused on that as I don't use a base often).

[@katiebrunner4376]

Hi Jen, LG has three new Blush n Brighten shades (all matte) on her website, one of which is a cool shade called Summer Orchid. Thought you might be interested....there are several other cool shades on the website.

[@AmberKishbaugh-uo6ki]

Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been wearing makeup for 30 years so I’m hard pressed to find something truly unique to my collection. I love the Laura Gellar blushes so I don’t see any reason to try the Kosas. I’ve been very curious about the Haus Labs one, but I think I’ll probably just grab one of the Kaja and maybe a Flower one.

[@1hawaii21]

Such a fabulous video. Loved that you showed both high end and affordable. I adore luxury makeup but I’m not adverse to buying less expensive makeup. I have a tip. I apply, Aquaphor Lip Repair stick prior to any matte lip product. The Aquaphor Stick isn’t greasy or shiny but it goes on smoothly and keeps my lips moisturized. It’s also great for chapped or just dry lips.😊

[@mora5146]

Jen! Your nails! 😍

[@ProfMary]

Good idea for a video, Jen! As you say, sometimes we can save money by not buying the 'new' hypes and finding something in our collection already. I have been guilty of this after I get it home and then find another item I already had that was similar. Ugh! could have saved some money. btw, your nails look so pretty. So does your hair. Good work all around.

[@cathystein1285]

Extremely helpful. Thank you!

[@ABCEggplant]

The Mario bronzer definitely looked better than the SAIE, even on camera. What I need is a all out comparison of all the "bronzie" drops now that ELF has a new one. I need one that's not really warm (neutral is best) and so many have been released you seem the best person to do it!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I thought the Saie product looked awfully dark on Jen. It's a matter of taste, of course.

[@stephaniefarquer5]

I love these videos, and yours are always exquisite! Even better is that I know your suggestions are always trustworthy!

[@marnidillon8659]

Oooooo…..love that mani. Perfect for summer.

[@louisesharpy]

From someone who can’t buy alot or has shop smart , this has been so helpful. Pur did the packaging before Mario I remember everyone loved the packaging. Kosas reminded me somewhat of the the hourglass. The way they look and the Laura Gellar kinda

[@Barbaras_Likes]

The Cover Girl bronzer looked nice. So did the Makeup by Mario. I have never used a bronzer.

[@maryeckel9682]

If you get the right shade, you can skip blush all summer!

[@desireeohrbeck2282]

Great video, thank you so much! It is so easy to just keep buying and not look at what you already have, thanks for keeping it real.

[@kellysblackcat]

Mario really does great shades, tones in his bronzer products. I'm cool toned skin also and everything looks orange on me. But his products are so good. That one looks like it has a tiny bit of pink in it too., and great idea with the packaging.. I can't wait to get my hands on it. Thanks for doing this and showing all the differences in each product. It really helps. 😊

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I’m so glad I watched this. I love the way the Mario bronzer looks on you.

[@christinalaska]

I saw the title and giggled because I looked at both my Sephora and Ulta carts and asked myself that 😁😁😁 I’m glad I’m not the only one who questions themselves 🤣🤣 not to start controversy… some like Temu and some don’t but I tried their dupe for the Pixie and Milk blush sticks and I liked the Temu more 😮 and they were under $5

[@Hemjav-d3c]

What a fun approach in show casing the product and doing a review and comparison!!! 🙏🏼

[@LisaEvans-g3l]

I like the sheer formula of the Mariio. Much better than having to correct an over application, I have the crème soft sculpt which I love xxx

Thank you, I appreciate that! 🥰It might seem coincidental that I recently complained about people commenting on my nails, and now I've started wearing these but the truth is, I've been getting those comments for years and it's never made me want to change. It's just that I got these in PR and I haven't worn press-ons in years so I figured I would test them out before reviewing them. :)

I just bought Bubble from persona and their berry color. I saw Andreea Ali from Paris using Bubble It's not a good color for the lips but pretty blush, the berry color is good both ways I'm 61 and need a bit of sheen to my complexion without looking greasy. My very favorite is WestmanAtelier in Petal, but it's pricey and well worth it. I still have over an inch left after 5 months of using practically ever day

[@alexmorgan8562]

Your nails look fantastic!!! Have you tried the liquid blushes from ciele yet? I love the one I have! Plus, it says it has sunscreen in it, and I’m all about that since my skin cancer a couple of years ago.

Half of the focus was on your nails when they were on-screen and the other half on the makeup you did,all of it was beautiful and stunning 💝 And even some of the items that we had gotten maybe a couple of weeks still works the same way as the new items especially if it's one you know well but it is helpful to see someone who's not sponsored options on these items coming out
