It's BAD... the most disappointing makeup launches of the year *AVOID THESE*

[@erinodonnell386]

The thing about the kosas sunscreen, it’s $44 For $44 you should not have to jump through hoops to get it to apply correctly and if it’s polling this badly, I don’t know how you’d reapply it without washing and redoing your face (which I know not everyone does but for $44, you absolutely should be able to). $44 is a lot of money for a sunscreen, especially because if you apply as much as you’re supposed to and only have one going at a time (like I’d imagine most people do) you’ll burn through it really fast. For that money, there should be no finikiness. The isntree hyaluronic acid water sunscreen things (I can’t remember the exact name but I’ve been using it for years) is less expensive, does not have a tint (which could be light or dark for people) or a cast, is moisturizing enough where I don’t need a moisturizer in addition to it, and applies and reapplies beautifully. It’s around $25, which isn’t cheap but is cheaper than the Kosas. Sorry, rant over. Have a lovely day. 😅

I also bought the Wow Dreamcoat and was so disappointed. It didn't eliminate frizz and left a waxy coat on my hair. I didn't like the Milani tubing mascara either, so I bought a couple of tubes of the Thrive mascara when they had the Black Friday sale. Great video. Have a good weekend.

[@K_W_31415]

I actually *love* the Jones Road Bronzer -- I use it almost every day I wear makeup to add just a splash of color and warmth back to my face, and have found that it works best to warm it up first between my fingers and just gently tap it on. It ends up making a noticeable different to my complexion but in a subtle, no-makeup makeup kind of way, and blends perfectly into my face and wears wonderfully on my skin. I think the problem with Jones Road is that so many of their products require people to use them in maybe a different way than we're used to (e.g., their foundation and miracle balm as other examples). Their products are great if you figure out how to work with them, but it's probably to their own detriment that so many of their products have such a learning/adaptation curve :/

[@Psy_duckling]

I honestly have never had a problem with the jones road bronzer and was shocked the first time I used it at how SEAMLESS it was!! It looked so natural and smooth I’m shocked anyone would have a problem with it

[@smpnce]

For the color wow, I've used the normal strength one and never really noticed a difference, and I live in a pretty humid climate. But I went to the beach and didn't use it one of the days and immediately noticed a difference with how much it fought against the humidity and moistire from hanging out at the beach. I love it for that reason and it definitively is a game changer!

[@michellegray8087]

I love your honesty!!!! I actually really like the Milani mascara but only on my lower lashes. It doesn't smudge like most do on me.

[@nicolirolipoli]

It’s wild how products work so differently for people. Especially skin care. I actually love the glow recipe blur drop primer and feels it helps keep my makeup on longer. I do feel my skin just loves glow recipe products though. I’m so sorry you had a bad reaction to it. Not fun to deal with! Xoxox

I've never had that problem with the Tartelette mascara. I've gone through a few tubes of it and it's always removed in tubes for me. It's my favorite. I have yet to try the Milani.

I haven't tried the extra strength Colorwow but i do love the regular one . I have good results just adding some after my leave in i dont really follow the directions and i live at the Beach in SC its humid and hot AF in the summer so i definitely saw results with it maybe not the results they claim but some results. I totally agree with the rest of the stuff i have tried from this list though.

Concrning tubing masara, i lov the Tarte one. I have very oily skin and i don't end up with panda eyed with it AND it gives a lot volume. The Milani one i hated as well. So far, it's the only mascara that straigthened my lashes, all formulas included. When i tried it, i couldn't beleive it, i never saw my lashes like that. I threw it away.

[@kellymuller6525]

Never tried a tubing mascara other than the Tarte. It was my Ulta birthday gift. After I tried it I was thinking you lied about the tubing mascara removal process because it was not happening for me 😂! I like the effect and it’s long lasting on me so I’ll use up the tube. I’ve got so much mascara through samples and other things that I don’t think I’ll be purchasing any for long time

I so enjoy these kinds of videos! Well, I really like all of your content ❤ and I trust your opinions on products and whether they’re worth trying or not. Sometimes I will still give something a go if it’s a less expensive product but if it’s higher end or even a more expensive drugstore (I’m looking at you L’Oréal 😳) I will skip on it. Thank you for spending your $ so we don’t have to 💕 some of the products I have tried and totally agree with you! The one that has me concerned is the Milani mascara. I bought a tube of the Thrive over the summer and I loved it! Well that has been thrown out for awhile now. I haven’t repurchased it, but I saw a KZbinr saying that this Milani mascara was a dupe for the Thrive so I got a tube of it. I’m sure it was either on sale or I got some sort of discount bc I’ve made it my mission to never pay full price for makeup or skincare. It’s ALWAYS on sale somewhere, or I can use points or a coupon or something lol. I haven’t tried it yet though. I’ve been using my Urban Decay Perversion mascara which is my absolute favorite, but I’ve been wanting to try the Milani one soon. Im hoping for the best but will manage my expectations. And, hey, if I don’t like it, it didn’t cost an arm and a leg and I know it will come off easily if nothing else right? Lol im looking forward to you ‘best of’ videos 🎉 I hope you’re keeping warm down in NYC. Im up north here and it was 24° this morning when my granddaughter got on the bus. I think our temps usually run at least 10-15° colder up here. Im about 7-8 hours straight north of you in almost the most northern part of NY.

[@tiamarrow6366]

I’m very picky with mascaras because back in 2011-2012 my natural lashes were so long and voluminous but I had a habit on wanting that “doll lash” look and i I usually prefer mascaras that give me volume, and length, and make my lashes look so full. The mascara that I used at the time was Lashblast from Covergirl. I’ve mainly used Covergirl mascaras as well as even one e.l.f mascara back in 2014, Better Than Sex mascara throughout 2015-2016, and as of now….Ilia mascara….I have the mini version from the Sephora birthday gift, and the regular size that my niece got me.

People who have used tubing mascara before, I am super interested in getting one. But I have super oily skin, like after wearing makeup the natural oils on my face remove most of my makeup within working hours. I am super scared that it will just fall off on my face during the day. I am worried I will have splotches of eyelashes on my face, which is worse than under my eyes and my eyelids getting black from mascara coming off!

I find it so interesting that the Kossas sunscreen gives you such a hard time. I have a terrible time finding Sunscreen that works, and this one worked perfectly for me. It never pilled and looked BEAUTIFUL under my Dior Backstage. In fact, it was my go-to combo all summer. It's funny, I did not want to like it because it was expensive. Go figure. I guess that's why brands can make so many different products. It worked well with the Cereve Moisturizer. I did try the Hero Sunscreen on your recommendation and I LOVE that too, and it is a bargain.

[@XDominiqueXFranconX]

I have Slavic roots on my dad’s side, and inherited under eye circles. Thus, I prefer tubing mascara, at least on the bottom lashes. I bought the Tarte in early 2023 (not even realizing it was a new launch). It worked fine, and I used it for a long time. It was just somewhat expensive compared to cheaper competitors that work just as well, so I haven’t repurchased. (Honestly, the ULTA brand tubing mascara was satisfactory, as well.) My tubing fail was sadly the Essence Bye Bye Panda Eyes! I loved Lash Princess, so thought this would be a hit. Nope - not for me. Smudges and flakes on my under eyes. I don’t wear a lot of powder under my eyes because it dries the area out, and exaggerates lines. Thus, my face is generally on the glowy side. The Bye Bye Panda Eyes may work for people who don’t use emollient products near their eyes, but it seems like my facial oil just wants to take it right off.

Kelly, I just received my first sigma eyeshadow product yesterday (mini enchanted pallette) and am not sure if this is normal for their eyeshadow, especially given the good things I've heard about it! It isn't performing how I expected... the mattes seem very dry and "powdery" as in they're messy to use and get powder everywhere rather than smooth and silky like I'd expect in good eyeshadow powder. Also, every shade looks gorgeous and vivid in the pan but muted and impossible to build up on the skin. Since you're familiar with sigma shadows... could I have gotten a bad batch or something?! I used the ulta matte eyeshadow primer underneath. Great video by the way! You're my favorite beauty youtuber and I look forward to your upload days❤
