Yay, a non-Sephora video! I immediately hide those because I won't spend that kind of money on beauty so it's nice to see a video with affordable products again. Thank you!

[@vickiweber4718]

I couldn't afford to get a whole lot. I just repurchased my favorite daytime face serum and an eye serum I've been wanting to try.

[@bowtiesandfood]

Me too!! I literally refuse to buy mostly anything from Sephora 😭 IN THIS ECONOMY?!

[@AndreaMatillano]

I undestand! Makeup and beauty products are outrageously expensive these days so I get so excited when I find affordable products that are just as good as high end!

[@gracielapalacios8029]

Right agree💯❗

[@femininityfaith7920]

Amen!!!

[@katefitzpatrick973]

I looooove my nyx butter bronzer. For my fair neutral skin tone, the rosy blush/bronzer combos work so well for me, since typical bronzers are too warm/orange on me!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Yes! It’s so nice to see some more rosy tones bronzers. I hope we start to see them become even more popular!

[@LunarEleven]

Same! First bronzer I've actually liked. Amazing formula. The only thing I don't like is the shimmer... Mica is the #1 ingredient and they only use the word "glow" in the description on Walmart's site which is not really adequate indication that it's very shimmery. I would buy another if they came out with mattes in these shades and the buttery formula! There's also way too much plastic in the packaging, it's kinda weird how heavy and chunky it is but doesn't make it less awesome of a product.

[@juliewells4282]

I appreciate the way you swatch eyeliners with several lines for each color. It’s much easier to see the color than if it was just a single line swatch. Keep up the great work! 😊

[@jlkitz1775]

I bought the two deepest shades of the NYX bronzers (NARS Marquises for reference); the deepest works for bronzing; the other I actually use as a blush. I'd go in store to swatch though 👍🏾

[@LunarEleven]

They are really good all-purpose in terms of shades and formula, I use alone or layered for blush and as eyeshadow. Super pretty with mixing medium as a liner. Flatters a lot of eye colors.

[@ubegatito]

so glad to hear that the nyx bronzer is good!!! i bought it for my mom :))

[@AndreaMatillano]

I hope she loves it! It really does look so beautiful on the skin.

[@onewhisper22005]

Jen Phelps loved that brow pen initially too but then said hers ran out/dried out after a few uses too! So it wasn’t just you! That Colourpop Palette - Looks like the colors in it are pretty similar to what’s in Aurora Struck, and Aurora Struck has an AMAZING formula, so if someone is looking for those colors, that might be a place to look. It has the dark navy, lighter blue, greyish blue, and a lot of the shimmers in the palette look similar to ones in Aurora Struck as well.

[@kaivickers166]

I love the Aurora palette too. My daughter is ten and doesn’t wear makeup but sometimes if we’re going out I’ll use that one to put a shimmer on her lids and she loves it.

[@onewhisper22005]

@@kaivickers166 It’s such a great palette!! And the shimmers in it are so pretty! I was unsure about getting it at first because I don’t wear a ton of colorful looks. But I’m so happy I decided to get it because it has great muted, cooler tone colors that are perfect for my skin tone!

[@kaivickers166]

[@samapollosadiegreen2357]

Charlotte Tilbury makes blush wands that are matte as well as glowy blush wands. So I'm guessing that the Flower Beauty blush wands were made to mimic the matte version of CT blush wands. Great video 💖

[@rosieisbored]

I’ve been really looking forward to this round up since your last 2 drugstore try ons! I have oily skin and have been using the Covergirl essence for work these days, I find it works best for me when I don’t have a lot of makeup on top of it but rather just a light layer of blush and a tiny bit of concealer.

[@vickiweber4718]

I've been wondering about it and I have combo-oily skin. I use the It Cosmetics Nude Glow. I love it except for the $47 price tag.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That's a good tip! I'm going to have to try that because maybe the products I'm layering on top are causing it to wear off faster! Thank you so much for sharing!

[@gloriannefrancavilla3825]

So the essence lip oil applies beautifully, but I can't get over the smell! I have the orange and it has this burnt plastic smell that also tastes so bad. I'm so sad because they do feel gorgeous 😢

[@sydt7104]

the nyx butter bronzers were open for testing at my local ulta - they pull much more pink to my eye, especially the lighter shades. but I do recommend testing in store, to make sure (1) you can handle the scent, because it is strong and (2) to get the color you really want!

[@marianatrillo1411]

Andrea always making the best reviews on makeup ❤ I love how you give your opinion and also say what you've read on the internet to have a bigger picture of the product Thanks for the video, also you looked really pretty today

Agreed on the NYX newer bronzers, they're gorgeous! I use a slightly darker shade, Butta Biscuit. I also don't see any "glowiness", but they're beautiful and I happen to love the scent.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s really helpful to hear! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts on them!

[@loverofchrist4662]

I was at ULTA last weekend they had the NYX bronzers all out on display to swatch & try!

[@goldieredmango]

I have oily leaning combination at times and wear the covergirl on a near everyday basis and I have found less is more underneath the product, but it may also work better for me because I do live in the desert. Maybe in humidity or the like it would slip right off? I personally set it sometimes with kosas cloud set or the ami cole powder and those don't take away too much from the finish, on more oily days. I've been waiting for the nyx bronzers to come into stores around me so I could see them in person because so far the shades seem to pull so differently on everyone but the formula sounds so nice.

[@MelissaGlee]

I don't like the covergirl essence either. However- the simply ageless cream foundation is awesome! My new fav

[@kaivickers166]

I got the Essence Lash Without Limits in brown and I love it. It is the perfect formula and color for light makeup days.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I just bought the brown one! I can’t wait to try it!

[@LekhaThangada]

Your hair always looks so so healthy and beautiful!😍💁🏻‍♀️ Do you have any products you think work especially well for maintaining the health of your hair, especially for heat styled hair?🙈

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! That's so nice of you! I actually started using the Olaplex shampoo and conditioner a few months ago and I swear it has worked wonders! I was actually dealing with a lot of breakage because I was using a waving curling iron a lot during the winter and it fried my hair but I feel like it's starting to get a lot better. I've also been using the Mielle Rosemary Oil at night once or twice a week and that has helped too!

I have the cherry shade and the mauve shade of the elf pout clout click pen things, and I never wear liner with it. I love it by itself! It does look like you have liner on though, one time when I was wearing it my friend told me my lips looked really nice and asked for my lip combo. I like the cherry shade more (which I believe is the darkest shade) but mauve is pretty too. I can’t describe the smell either, but it just smells like a sweet makeup product to me

I just did one last Ulta spring haul order 😂 I did pick up the covergirl foundation so I’m hoping it works out I bought it to use with the new physicians formula bronzing drops for summer, and picked up the essence mascara as well in brown and restocked on my essence powder foundation ❤

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ooo mixing the Covergirl essence with bronzing drops is such a good idea! I just bought the elf bronzing drops so I’m going to try that before buying a darker shade now. Thank you for the tip! Love that essence powder foundation so much. 💗

[@idalarsson4729]

I’m so happy that you like the lip oil from Essence. I don’t know if you remember that I recommend it to you quite a while ago. I suspect that the issue with the palette from ColourPop is that it’s blue. They have a good formula for a affordable brand, but blue is a difficult colour to formulate just like purple. They made it even more difficult for them self by choosing those undertones and almost leaning towards pastels with some of them. Thank you so much for being detailed with your reviews, it’s really helpful! 💕

[@AndreaMatillano]

Yes! I remember you saying you loved it and it’s seriously so good! 😍 I’m going to order the other shades. I agree because I have heard some other people say one of the other newer neutral palettes was really nice. Thank you for watching my videos! 🥰 It means so much!

[@kerriwright4593]

It's weird bc i love affordable makeup. I purchase quite a bit, yet I almost always reach for my higher end products if I am not trying something new. Idk why. Idk if I'm trying to get my moneys worth? If it's a packaging thing? Or if they really are better. I tend not to keep things good for the price. I want things that are great regardless.

[@tammyherrera7262]

Hi Andrea! How are you doing? Just picked up the Catrice HD foundation for the first time and I love it! Can you recommend an affordable lengthening mascara that helps to hold my curl that’s not waterproof? Sorry that’s a tall order. Is there such a thing or is that a unicorn in the beauty community? Hope you, hubby and the babies are doing well! TTYL 😊❤️💄

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you Tammy! We are doing really but we’re ready for the warmer weather to stick around! How are you doing? I am so glad to hear you love that foundation! It’s definitely still one of my all time favorites. 😍 Do you like tubing mascaras? I feel like you might like the new one from elf with the green cap! I also think their Lash n Roll is such a nice option for adding a curl!

[@monicapatton1405]

The Essence Hydra lip oil is my favorite!! I have backups!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh it’s so good! I ended up ordering the other shades because I love the formula so much!

[@leeannbaxter]

I was on the fence about the nyx bronzer bc I love the Physicians Formula butter bronzer line. I might give it a try though, they look so creamy

[@AndreaMatillano]

I feel like they have a similar creamy feel but NYX is just a little more pigmented!

[@iloveeyeshadow9798]

Essence hydra gloss is great, went thru in two weeks

[@LunarEleven]

Maybe the NYX Buttermelt just depends on shade, I have the lightest one and it's very rosy and SO shimmery. Mica is listed as the #1 ingredient but the quantity most likely varies. (Mine was not shattered and re-pressed, either.) It goes beyond glowy for me and that's the only thing I didn't like, I thought it would be very subtle. Luckily not orange at all.

[@jlkitz1775]

You do the best reviews. Thank you for all of your efforts 👌🏾 😉👍🏾. I have several of these. That viral Cover Girl was a big NO for me 😝. But that's the nature of makeup, right? ✌🏾

[@theeellebee]

Hi Andrea! Since you take time out to share such amazing finds with us. I'll share one with you. Have you ever tried Ulta's complexion crush foundation, it is so good. And so affordable

[@AndreaMatillano]

I actually haven’t tried that one so I will definitely check it out! Thank you for the recommendation! 🥰

[@AngiePhiffer79]

My NYX Buttermelt bronzer came shattered as well. But Ulta’s packaging left a lot to be desired. They put a couple items in a very large box and did not pack it well so the bronzer slipped out of its bubble wrap package (not sealed) and just got tossed around the box. Ulta did replace it.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ulta is seriously so bad at packaging breakable products. I've heard from so many people who have issues with products breaking whenever they order online!

[@theeellebee]

Oh the irony that I got three nail polishes from Ulta, they came in a huge box and had a ton of bubble wrap on them.

Great video! How does the NYX glowy sunscreen compare to the one from ELF? Product-wise, not price.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Definitely less of a shiny glow and more of a natural glow! I love the elf one but I feel like sometimes it can be a little bit too much for me. NYX is definitely more natural looking and a little less greasy feeling.

[@tarakramer877]

I finally gave my Cover girl skin essence away. I had a love hate relationship with it. I tried so many different ways to make it work. Sometimes it looked good but most of the time it didn’t.

[@runijones2625]

Yes Ulta has testers of the NYX bronzers (at least mine did). I never gravitate towards Covergirl for some reason but have been wanting to try the foundation and $12 was a price I was ok with. I have combo skin with very oily T zone (especially the nose!) and I didn’t find that it disappeared on me any more than any other foundation. But I’m also not too fussed about that so maybe it did and I didn’t notice lol I don’t usually check my makeup too closely or touch up but it looked ok at the end of the day.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I need to check out the NYX bronzers in person because I’m curious how the other shades look! Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Covergirl foundation! I’m always curious to hear how it worked for other people!

I just bought the essence lash it loud mascara in brown at the Ulta sale after a recommendation from Kelly Gooch. I am NOT fan of the NYX bronzer. I bought it before I saw any reviews because I was so excited to see something new in store, but it’s just way too pigmented for me, and the lightest shade is just not the right color for me. It’s a little too rosy, and still somehow a bit orange. I keep trying, but even with a light hand I have a hard time getting it to look right. I agree with the satin finish though

I have the elf plump lip pen in the red shade and I dislike it a lot. I was hoping for a similar look to their sheer slick lipsticks (that they discontinued) and its not. Is significantly goopier with worse/streaky pigmentation and the plumping is uncomfortable - I can eat spicy food and deal with that lip pain but these were still stinging like 30 minutes later. It was a waste of money for me.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I definitely understand! I wish I could get it to last because it looks so pretty!

[@eyesoftheocean1]

CoverGirl foundation is not meant for oily girls. But I have a hack. So before you apply your primer, go in with a mattifying setting spray. Next put your mattifying primer on. Next apply your mattifying setting spray. Apply your foundation (CoverGirl). Apply your cream blush apply your cream bronzer. Next apply your mattifying setting spray again. Apply your setting powders. Then you guessed it apply your setting spray again. After much trial I have found the milk pore eclipse matte setting spray is the best. The key is larying setting spray between steps of applying make up.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Okay this is super helpful to hear! I actually just got that setting spray too so I will absolutely be trying this because I love the way the Covergirl foundation looks on the skin. Thank you for taking the time to share these tips!

[@dianeguy7452]

Jen Phelps says the same about the La girl brow pen. Milani has been the one I’ve used for quite a while now but I find it’s too marker looking and gets leaky ugh. I overtweezed in the 70s and literally have 10 brow hairs. How are the kiddos ❤

Oh that’s good to know! I feel like all of the brow pens end up leaking on me too. 😭 My NYX one just started leaking yesterday. Aw they are doing really well, thank you for asking! I can’t believe my baby is almost 3 months! 🥹

My Ulta had testers for the NYX bronzers and they felt amazing but none of the colors worked for me.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s really good to know! I’m curious to see what the other shades look like in person!

[@KaitPlanet]

How do you feel about the scent of the essence lip oil? Lots of reviews says it’s really bad.

[@AndreaMatillano]

I didn’t notice a scent but after reading some comments saying the same thing I checked again and I feel like there’s maybe a slight vanilla scent but I don’t notice it once it’s on the lips!

[@KaitPlanet]

Thank you!

[@ironicallyfit518]

They have the testers for the Nyx bronzers at Ulta. I swatched them today and they were out of the one color I wanted to get. Do you think it's better than the Loreal one?

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s really good to know! 🙌 Thank you for sharing this info! I actually haven’t tried the L’Oreal one but I do think NYX has a few more red toned ones which is a nice option!

[@brigitte9999]

The Flower Beauty Duel eyeliner was a fail for me. It got returned! Disappointing because I loved the colors.

[@AndreaMatillano]

So frustrating because the colors really are pretty! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on it too.

I can’t get on with the elf click lippies or their lip oils, I don’t know why but everyone I have tried have a taste of mint and crayons in them. Heavier on the crayon smell/taste

[@AndreaMatillano]

It is such a weird combo! I definitely understand the crayon/mint description now that you mention it. I seriously couldn’t place it but that actually makes sense.

[@jessicalynn8746]

@@AndreaMatillano I don’t know what they did to these cause their other lip products not a single issue. Wish they would change it because I liked the way they look, just can’t get over the smell

[@jasmineloves2144]

It always amazes how retailers price their products. I'm guessing Covergirl and Ulta charges $21. When I was at my local target they have it for $15 for the essence foundation

[@AndreaMatillano]

Oh wow! I didn't realize it was so much less at Target. That's actually really good to know!

[@Lilbabygrrl017]

I'm 37 and I've tried so many cover girl foundation over the years and not one has ever looked good on my skin ever :(

[@AndreaMatillano]

Until fairly recently, I haven’t much luck with Covergirl products as a whole! I don’t know what it is but I have tried so many that don’t seem to work well for me. 😭

Why is the new Essence lip oil better than the Milani fruit fusion?

[@AndreaMatillano]

I love the Milani ones when I want a sheer wash of color and a lightweight formula but essence when I want more of a long-lasting hydrating formula. I feel like it stays in place better than Milani but I love that Milani has more shades/fun scents!

[@bluecobaltsteph2689]

@@AndreaMatillano thanks! Maybe I’ll try the elf too!

[@kerriwright4593]

The tarte juicy lip things feel so globby or goopy on my lips.

Sucks the Colourpop palette didn't work for you. I personally love it. I don't pay much attention to reviews on brow pens because my Milani one is still going strong.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh I know I love the color story so I had high hopes! Milani's brow pen really is great, definitely one of my favorites!

[@marsha32lou]

The Covergirl essence was awful! So drying on my skin and my skin is normal. It was also 23 CDN plus tax.

[@summersmakeupchannel9289]

Not sure whats in lip oils but my lips dont feel good at all, the oil drys my lips so much. Than i use my carmax. Im over lip oils

[@AndreaMatillano]

I've heard that from other people too! I feel like sometimes an old school lip balm/treatment is the way to go too.

[@aliespice]

It makes me sad the essence didn't work for you. I think it's meant more for combo or dry skin. It's mostly made of water so I can see how on your oily skin it would break down and disappear 😢

[@AndreaMatillano]

😭😭 I’m hoping to have better luck in the fall and winter because it really does look so nice on the skin!

The LA Girl eyeliner was just terrible. Way too soft and smushy.

[@AndreaMatillano]

Aw sorry to hear they didn’t work for you!

[@kerriwright4593]

I really want the elf hydrating cc foundation, their lip liners, a cover girl marker lip stain, and the nyx butter bronzers. Nothing new ever launches around me in Wisconsin 😂. It's like months and months, if ever, before newer products come to the drug store.
