I Spent $1,000 at Sephora | New Makeup Launches!

I Spent $1,000 at Sephora | New Makeup Launches!
I went on a shopping rampage and spent a little over $1000 on makeup at Sephora! I was curious to try some new makeup launches and see if these new beauty products were as incredible as they were rated. I purchased a full face of makeup. Everything from face foundation to mascara, eyeliner, brow products, lip liner, and several shades of lipstick. Seriously, I went a little crazy on the lipstick! Some of these products turned out to be quite beautiful while others left me scratching my head and frustrated.

Sometimes I watch black and white classic films with actresses like Hedy Lamar and Audrey Hepburn, you know they didn’t have anywhere near the skin care options we have now, and their skin is flawless. It makes me wonder if simple moisturizer and clean cleansers is really all we need ❤️

[@cheryllimpert2843]

I agree. Sometimes I am putting 3 or 4 things on my face and think why. Just cleanse and use moisturizer. No matter the claims they aren’t going to really eliminate any of my wrinkles, maybe diminish very slightly but not enough to justify spending the money and loading my face with products. My mom used the original oil of Olay and had very nice skin. Sometimes I chuck everything and go back to the OG.

I’m only here to read the comments Lol 😂 because I find it interesting how these KZbinrs who have over a million subscribers treat their subscribers and support them and get nothing in return, I much prefer to watch actual makeup artists and those that don’t have a huge following because they’ll always respond to you Not like Milani.

Milana, please disregard all the negative feedback you have gotten on different platforms for this video. The majority of us are barely keeping our families fed and so some people are taking this wrong because they feel sensitive about it right now. Which I do understand as someone who struggles financially, HOWEVER, this is your JOB. You are supposed to do things like this to give us information on makeup. You are most definitely blessed of course , thank God for that! I just don't want any negative feedback to upset you or disuade you from these kinds of videos. This is your business, so you put out 1k dollar but you make more back from your sales and so it keeps getting reinvested. It's hard to fathom those things when all your bills are past due. I'm in that boat too, however I greatly appreciate these videos as a makeup lover. I also appreciate your kindness and your family dynamics. May God keep blessing you.

[@-nellie-m3711]

I don’t think she cares what other people write in the comments and even what you wrote, I’ve never seen her respond to anyone on her channel, so it makes me wonder whether she even reads the comments, probably Not. If you go back to when she used to do hair tutorials she would have a lot more views on those videos compared to these makeup videos, personally I think she should stick to hair and leave the makeup to the actual makeup artists on KZbin, and as far as the money she spent, Who Cares….Really.

Same! 🤣 I honestly don't understand why someone would pay £30+ for a foundation when you can get one for less than half that price which will do exactly the same job and be just as good? I just bought a Beauty Bay 'Age of Opulence' eyeshadow palette for £15. It has 24 shades, matte, metallic and shimmers which have massive colour payoff, they're so pigmented - specifically with these purples and teals that are so incredibly intense - honestly it's fantastic. I've seen beauty KZbinrs spend more than that amount on a single lipstick or an eyeshadow quad and it just seems crazy to me.

[@crystalammons7907]

@@Littlewings1211 I agree. I have used the same foundation forever it's physicians formula the healthy foundation it's like $13 it works amazing and a quarter of the price of some of the stuff the beauty KZbinrs use. I can't imagine paying $50 for makeup that does the same thing.

Good grief bad commenters what the heck did you expect when you tune into a makeup KZbin video. So what she purchased 1k of products, this is business and she needs the products to review. Where in the video did she say you have to buy these. Maybe someone has thought of buying a product or two and wasn’t sure she brings to us how these products perform so we can decide if it’s worth it. I certainly wouldn’t think I need to rush out and buy every product. If you are offended then why the heck are you watching just so you can release your negativity. For those that commented why woman feel the need to have products to make them beautiful, non of your dang business why I want to wear makeup. I don’t wear it to define who I am but to enhance what I have. Also to cover things I don’t like not what other people may see. So please if you don’t want to spend money on makeup, don’t like to see other people buy, wear it, then start your own youtube channel. Also don’t preach to us by spending money on makeup others in the world could be fed with this money, you have no right to judge anyone nor do you know what anyone is supporting. Take care of your own business.

I have the same issue with the e.l.f 16hr camo concealer as you did with the foundation - it dried so fast, I'd put a little dot under my inner corner, reseal the cap on the concealer and grab my brush and it would be completely dried and impossible to blend out. I am going to try both with a primer (I don't usually use a primer but I recently bought the Beauty Bay primer and setting mists set) and/or also maybe try to use a tiny dot of face serum to just blend the concealer out and see if I can work with it because I really don't want to waste it if I can avoid it.

Yeah, sections are smart when you’re trying something new. It’s kind of crazy how she went in all over the face with a new foundation when you don’t know how it’s going to cover or how fast it will dry. I was literally cringing when she did that. Some foundations only require one pump or a couple drops. No one should slam a foundation after they went in too thick. It looked mask like to me but I think it was just bc the shade was too light.

I’m really trying to understand why people are so upset about how expensive all the products are. I thought you chose some awesome medium to high end items. Yeah you spent a lot in total but the individual costs were not as shocking as I expected. I mean you bought multiple shades in quite a few of these. Also I’ve found you definitely get what you pay for as far as products goes. Maybe others are judging the worth of higher end items without ever trying it. I’ve definitely found I really break even cost wise with quality products. Walmart makeup is not equal to Sephora trust me 😂😬. I use way less product with each use so they last so much longer and I spend so much less time and energy achieving the results I am looking for because they are better pigments and blend easier. I will also say I am not wealthy and definitely could not drop basically my rent payment on makeup like this but I definitely am not judging this video or upset by it. If I was I would just not watch it and keep scrolling. Makes me sad to see one persons blessed life negatively affecting others when they are coming from a negative place. I found this helpful and now I know the one or two things that I really want to try now. Thanks for saving me from lot of debate and possibly making the wrong choice!!! Much love!
