Discovering Hidden Gems: Makeup Brands I've Recently Fallen In Love With

[@baileydubs]

Hey Mandy, I would encourage you to look into who sheglam is! No brand is perfect, but I specifically don’t support them and it might be worth your time looking into it! Hope you have a wonderful day!

[@k.popper2620]

Yeah, they are pretty bad.

[@AmyKaylasVegas]

I am just stopping her videos anytime she mentions SheGlam. I love watching her reviews and tips, but until she stops promoting Shein products I'm out.

[@melissaluvsplease1664]

I swear she never reads her comments!! Other people like myself have spoken up about Sheglam several times and yet she never comments about our posts. They are worse than just not being perfect. They exploit women and children in making their super cheap products.

[@laurarivera1992]

Anything made in an Asian country is bad. Yet people buy it anyways. How about some of our meats we eat. Same goes for that! Kids are packing meat.

[@laura10777]

I love Nabla! I don’t support Sheglam/Shein, though. 😊

[@scrapbook36]

Absolutely not , they have horrible ethics .

[@laurieann2714]

Sheglam is a product of Shein and, while the blushes and bronzers look great, I can't support them. Thanks for the review!

[@Lime61318]

Why what did I miss?

[@laurieann2714]

@@Lime61318 if you look at Sheglam, it is an offshoot of Shein from what I found. They apparently use child labor.

[@COgirl394]

​@@Lime61318 Shein, Sheglam's parent company, steals clothing and bag designs from small businesses and Sheglam doesn't disclose the ingredients in their make-up. That's what I can think of off the top, but there are more bad things about the brands.

[@jo4vt]

@@Lime61318 Unethical practices, forced labor, lead in products. Look them up.

[@rhondafilarecki4786]

Are they not cruelty free??

[@monicapatton1405]

Some of my favorite lip liners are from LA Colors, so creamy and lasting and beautiful shades available, of course the price is great too.

[@Queenmarie88]

I knew when she first said the brand name that there would be a lot of comments about it. I love Mandy to death but I don’t think she knows much about any of the back stories of brands that she wears. Also she never replies to comments or mentions anything about it in her videos so I guess we really don’t know. I do wish she would engage with us

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I enjoy Mandy’s videos and have noticed she doesn’t engage or acknowledge the time people take to watch and make comments at all. Our engagement helps her channel grow. Other content creators make reciprocal engagement a priority.

[@gingergirl8797]

Mandy is also a busy mom. She has 4 children still at home that she needs to 'engage' with.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

@@gingergirl8797 - you know, that’s a good point. Thanks for sharing that perspective!

[@COgirl394]

​@@gingergirl8797 Good point, but it isn't out of line to want a few responses to comments on each video. Even taking 10 or 15 minutes would make people feel better and might stop some from unsubscribing.

[@Queenmarie88]

@@gingergirl8797 so are other beauty creators that I watch. Emily Noel is a busy mom with very small kids at home and she takes the time to engage with us. Like I said I like Mandy a lot but I guess she just doesn’t feel it’s important to engage with her viewers. She always tells us to leave comments but she doesn’t ever respond to any of them. I’m not mad at her about it or anything I’m just saying that I wish she would talk with us a bit that’s all.

[@christa2047]

Sheglam is SHEIN makeup. Just letting you know so you can investigate yourself. I have ordered from them in the past and I’m not saying I won’t in the future but it’s something to look into as an influencer.

[@AmyKaylasVegas]

Also van you imagine if she lets her daughter use this makeup that has been found to have lead? Omg :(

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

I’ve never seen Sheglam and I’m glad it hasn’t hit Canada. I hate the back story but people will buy it regardless.

[@tracymills4818]

Sheglam is not an ethical brand at all! Nabla is fantastic. I have a blush duo and the Read My Mind palette. So beautiful!

[@MyCleverHandle]

I LOVE the Read My Mind palette! The arrangement of colors, in blocks or rows, makes it easy for me to get a cohesive look. And the greens are so perfect. Genius!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Nabla is solid.

[@carolpeterson5515]

The NYX Line Loud lipliners are the longest lasting ones I’ve ever used. They go on creamy, and if blended onto lips, color stays on even after lipstick or gloss has worn off. Just wish there were more shades and that inventory in stores was better so I could pick them up anytime I need them.

[@bobbiewilliams5101]

Andy, I have used the Essence highlighters as a light all over dusting powder topper when feeling my skin looks too flat. I love them. Agree the packaging is not great, but the products is not only really good but easy on the budget.i ordered the Physicians Formula bronzer on your recommendation and looking forward to trying it. Thanks for all of your great reviews and demos. In my next life, I will be able to do my eyes as beautifully as you always do!❤😊💄

[@ra0003]

Sheglam is horrible, I would not recommend them .

[@monicapatton1405]

I’ve heard great things about the About Face foundation, definitely going to pick some up. They have some great products.

[@sassylynncapps9839]

Thanks for sharing your reviews Mandy. I have recently tried a few Kokie products, and although they are not a new brand, its new to me and I love them!

[@monicapatton1405]

Really? Which products do you love? I’ve only tried a couple of things but didn’t love them, if you have any recommendations I would totally try something else.

[@sassylynncapps9839]

@@monicapatton1405 I wear the eyeliner in "gilded gold" on my lower eyelash when wearing brown shades on top. Makes my brown eyes pop, goes on smoothly, lasts all day, and does not bother my eyes. Also mechanical lip liner in "Dusty Rose". I have been using recently over my Nyx, UD, and others in my collection. Goes on smooth, and a great everyday nude pink color. Good Luck and have fun!!

[@hannitabeautysison]

I love their concealer and also their setting powder

[@sandradelcid240]

I love love LOVE Nabla!! Easily one of my favorite brands, and the only issue that I've ever had with one of their products had to do with a packaging design flaw, but the product itself was sublime. It's always great to know I'm not taking crazy pills there 🤩

[@janeashton2027]

Hi Mandy, my favorite from Sephora is, makeup by Mario, Haus Labs, Charlotte Tilbury, Huda Beauty, Urban Decay, Tarte, hugsssss ❤❤❤

[@JenniferSmilesNow]

Love this video! Viseart is my go-to,l for eyeshadow. Salt New York for balmy makeup. Beauty Pie for trusting the product will be worth it, and comparable to high end. Cinema Secrets for brush cleaner.

[@rissafarrar332]

I am really liking About Face! The foundation is super nice, and I found my perfect shade, too (L2 Olive). I haven’t tried any lip products from them, but their cheek balms are great!

[@monicapatton1405]

That Essence highlighter looks really pretty. Loving their Hydra Kiss Lip Oil.

[@Queenmarie88]

Have you tried the Milani lip oils? Are the Essence ones better than those? The Milani ones are so good~~~ especially the nude shades like honey fig and Lychee ♥️😎

[@youtubeexercise7894]

Do you happen to ever show how you apply the makeup you are talking about? I just found your channel and love watching influencers apply the makeup they are raving about. Thanks!! Where did you get your necklace from? I love it!!

Sheglam is the makeup arm of Shein and even if these specific products are made in labs with better labor practices (which isn't necessarily the case), I can't support anything made by Shein. I encourage you to look into the way companies like Shein treat their workers before purchasing from them again.

[@kellymarie7660]

Can not support Sheglam

[@TheLalitaPancakes]

I love my two Nabla cutie palettes. Also working on getting the hang of using the two Flower Beauty shadows. Love how creamy they are. Revolution highlighters are really nice too. Not sure if you've tried them? Also adore my Essence stay&play gel liner. It never fails me.

Thank you Mandy, I appreciate your reviews and videos. I hope you have a beautifully blessed day. Don’t pay any attention to the rude mean people. Just be you.

[@TracyD2]

I didn’t see anyone being mean or rude. They are pointing out a fact in a respectful way. Maybe she doesn’t know what is going on. That’s not being mean or rude. You must live in a bubble. 📌

[@sheriw56]

Melissa, would you point out what specific comment was mean or rude. Making a generalized statement without an example isn’t helpful. Also, how is it rude to point out the shady business practices of a company whose product is being recommended?

[@Sandy-p4m]

I really love Essence 24hr foundation powder. Its so smooth and blurring but looks so natural and lasts a long time. I usually put it over Maybelline 4in1 perfector or elf halo glow. Never tried Nabla products. I love PF stuff. I've never heard of About Face and never tried Sheglam. I know there is controversy there, but I'm not sure what it is.

[@maureenmccombs2869]

The hard Utah accent was an immediate turn off for me. And you talk way, way too fast! I tried contacting her reps to find out which She Glam concealer she was talking about and the response was ridiculously convoluted. The fact that she suggests going to Sephora for new brands is laughable. Go to Ulta, which I also don’t love but at least you get some drugstore brands. So funny that she is talking about Nabla at the end of this vid and you can get the brand at Ulta but not Sephora. Seems all slapdash thrown together- who deemed her an expert? I will be leaving as fast as I found her-toodles.

[@Sandy-p4m]

Why do you have to show shade and announce you're leaving?? It's ridiculous. Just scroll on no need to announce it. Geez.
