New Drugstore Makeup SO GOOD, It Makes High End Look Like A SCAM

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you all for letting me know that the elf shadows are promoted as "toppers"...I must have missed that. 🤦‍♀On the website it does say that you can wear them alone or on top of another shadow, so it's a versatile product for sure! I should also mention that it held up much better than the Too Faced shadow...by the end of the day, the Too Faced one had migrated under my eyes but the elf one stayed put! 🙌

[@Peace_Love_Dolphins]

I'm so glad you compared with moira. Definitely seeking that over elf! And happy to not splurge on the urban decay quad

[@LisaMarlene.]

@@Peace_Love_Dolphins the colour space cowboy doesn’t come in the space cowboy quad 🤯🤯🤯

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@LisaMarlene. I think that was a bad mistake by Urban Decay. If the quad has that name, it's reasonable to expect the shade will be in it.

[@LisaMarlene.]

@@20thcenturyrelic agreed 100. I didn’t know that till I went to buy it and my daughter told me that, knowing I really wanted that shade

[@lesliedemarco1691]

I LOVE Moira Sugar Crush eyeshadow but I'll have to try the Elf, just cause I'm always curious about anything that Elf puts out...... 😘😘

[@cathygiuliana9089]

Can’t thank you enough Jen, for helping us senior living on a fixed income that we can still afford to have fun with makeup like we did when we were younger and still look beautiful! Drug store makeup and skincare has come a long away! I love Moira and Elf products!I am so grateful to you for your videos!🙏🥰❤️

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you, that makes me so happy to hear that! I agree, drugstore makeup is so good now, it doesn't feel like you're sacrificing quality. 🥰❤️

[@reginaroza3154]

Yes!!

Love that the Glass Shines are back, but anyone else absolutely hate the name Girly Swirly??!

[@cynthiacampbell5011]

Same lol

[@spgthd1]

In a world full of influencers you always come across as a friend. Simply the best!

[@Susan406]

The Glass Shine lipsticks, yes! I'm trying to go back to my roots, my extreeeeemely old roots, and use more drugstore makeup. When I buy the prestige stuff, it's often no better than drugstore yet is 3x-10x the price, plus if I end up not liking it, the wasted money makes me feel so full of regrets. You're the best for showing us the drugstore products worth our hard-earned pennies, thanks! ❤❤❤

[@JenPhelps]

I keep finding the same thing Susan! It really doesn't pay to buy the high-end stuff, unless there's a certain color that speaks to me or something. But otherwise the formulas don't seem to be much better. ❤️🥰

[@debranaumczik6286]

I am leaning on use what I have and def so annoyed with Sephora when I do spend, they send products and then it's missing 2 out of 3 products in the oversize box! Ridiculous...plus had recent layoff . Looking new work - time for big change . Jen is excellent about options and giving discounts where she can. Truly a blessing

[@SweetnSassyPK]

I'm so glad they're re-releasing the revlon high shine lipsticks

[@LisaMarlene.]

@@SweetnSassyPK me too! Jen has talked about them a few times in the two years I’ve been watching her. I finally get to try them! I want rum raisin for sure!!!

[@baileydubs]

Me too! I’ve been using the color toasting glasses for years and I was so sad and trying not to use up my current one!

[@RubyCoughDrop]

The Revlon is like when Gandalf fought the balrog and came back as Gandalf the White

[@noemimatias3729]

I’m so happy you uploaded a video today. I always look forward to your drugstore content. ❤👍🏼

[@jacquiwinter6282]

Jen, I appreciate the time you take to routinely do comparisons between products. That way we can see what's new and also get good ideas reminding us of what we may already have and love, preventing over-buying. It's often nice to see the new products, but treat them as "eye candy" rather than purchase them. My old (black tube) Nude Illuminator is nearly gone; I see a replacement in my future now that it's back! 🔮 💕

[@auntrori]

Glad to see how the elf shadows have barely any base. I lean more towards "toppers" and that means I'll like these!

[@celinabond]

Same! 🎉❤

[@kathyjackson3751]

I have such a hard time resisting any of your videos. I usually watch in the morning while I’m getting ready but you posted tonight so… 😅

[@jennybee42]

I was randomly at Ulta to return something and I saw the new Elf blush colors. I grabbed the lilac one SO FAST 😂 I love purple blush and I had actually yet to try the camo blush because none of the colors were quite what I wanted. It's beautiful but you're right, a little goes a long way! I also got shade 2 in the bronzer, love it. I hadn't ever really used bronzer until recently because when I followed tutorials they would always suggest to put it where you'd put contour and it would just look like mud on my face. But since trying it in places the sun would naturally hit it's been a game changer. Now I love bronzer! I have dry skin so the cream and liquid bronzers are the best.

[@criscris8142]

Jen, you look absolutely stunning ❤❤❤ thank you for your video content ❤❤

[@rockys2ndmomma]

I'm more excited to new drugstore release than any holiday collection on Sephora😅

[@ejbooks]

So helpful when you show the comparisons! We can always depend on your detailed explanations and really see all those color differences. Thank you for such an informative video!!🥰

[@shannonguinn9837]

I swear you get prettier and more youthful with time - possibly that underlying genuine kindness just doing wonders!! 💕

[@hoorbanoarif3792]

I am Pakistani and got the lilac blush from elf the other day and absolutely LOVE IT, it’s so good for my skin tone. I think the color will be good on all skin tones really, it looks amazing on you! ❤

[@bawkbawkbakaw]

I really enjoy my Lilac cream blush from Elf. It looks much more purple on me. And it looks terrific with the grey eyeshadows I wear every day. I was interested in the Elf shadows for my nieces for Christmas. We don't have children, so no daughters to teach about makeup. But my sisters always tell my nieces to ask me about makeup, since I've always loved it so much. Every time we go up to visit my youngest sister (your age 😊), her youngest (now 10) wants me to do her makeup. And I enjoy doing it.

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Thanks Jen I picked up the new eyeshadows from elf they are pretty & great for everyday I have the urban decay shadow also But the price of elf you just can’t go wrong See you soon ❤

[@meitalkabeli509]

So happy they redid the Revlon High Shine Lipsticks, I used to wear them all the time, excited to try it. I am not a fan of the glitter shadows and topper formulas, I find that my eyes get more irritated when the shadow is more glitter than powder, so I'll stick with my satins and mattes. Thanks for going into details for each brand and their formulas, it does help with making decisions.

[@chrisstanwood246]

LOVE that lilac blush! 💜 You look lovely today!

[@MsTerri3081]

Yesss!! The drugstore is on a roll with products!! I want the revlon liners❤❤

[@anncollard1742]

That new elf shadow says topper on the package. Shows up so much better over shadow (I like it over crayon shadow)

[@JenPhelps]

Yes, I just noticed that they're toppers. On the website it says you can wear them alone or over another shadow. :)

[@amber_lyzette]

I love how real and honest you are in your videos. You’re honestly one of the only content creators that I fully 100% trust anymore ❤

[@sylvielanglois1884]

Jen you’re absolutely right about the bronzer application. It never made sense to me to apply bronzer underneath the cheekbone and both side of the forehead….! The way you applied it is the right way and it looks great!

[@Kimbee8377]

My favorite topic too Jen , love your channel . God bless you and your family.

[@gstang8241]

So glad you reminded us to use the glitter primer- what a huge difference!! I’m so psyched for your Christmas Countdown- love the theme music and seeing your son coming down the stairs so sleepily- tis’ the season

[@JenPhelps]

It's coming up so quickly!!

[@katieharris7219]

I can't hear (or even think of) that theme music you use in the intro and not picture your son doing his sleepy walk down the stairs, Elf on the Shelf, and your snowy and winding Connecticut roads. I look forward to "JenMas" every year! ❤❤❤

[@gaylemayberry8104]

Me tooooo!! I love it!

[@khill6510]

I also apply my blush across my cheeks. It always looks very natural that way.

[@OneStopBeauty22]

I grabbed the 2 elf bronzers you got & that lilac blush! But I 100% am getting that new ELF Liquid Eyeshadow shade and those Revlon Lippies & MUFE liner dupes! Cannot wait to get all of those! They look amazing!!

[@lindasadler6338]

Drugstore makeup has been SO GOOD!!

[@LisaMarlene.]

It’s getting better and better. Which is ok by me!!!!

[@queenbunnyfoofoo6112]

I'm so glad Revlon brought the lipshines back! Those Elf shadows look nice. I like the idea of having a more subtle look as an option...especially with glitter/metallic. Thanks for another great video!

[@Kate.g.]

Ohhh thank Jen, I like this type of video 💛 I love good drugstore products, I mix drugstore and Sephora 🎉 Elf eyeshadow I have 4 and they are very cute, I love champagne shower because Space cow-boy look to orange on me. I really like the fact they are less colored than UD and Moira.

[@elfcosmetics]

Thank you for including all our e.l.f. beauties in this video! 🫶

[@9023rsd]

Oh my! 😲 loving the hair 😍.

[@viannam5483]

For mature eyes toppers are ideal; and they CAN be used on top of any mat underneath to make it pop. You always get a good buy with Elf. ALso, Revlon lipsticks are the best for the money both in color range and formulas - I have used them my entire life and have lots of them. Great video

[@Rwashere28]

I love the ELF Lilac blush. It was recommended by someone who is also cool tone - Jazzi Malano. ❤ this video!

[@nyoomnyoom9567]

Jen, you have been killing it lately!!! I love the comparison swatches and lip swatches. You look sooo radiant!

[@selah6335]

Thanks for the heads up about the Revlon lipsticks. Rum Raisin is a classic and I'm going to grab that one today!

[@crystalpolice]

The Moira Chroma Light shadows are my absolute favorite! They're perfect as one-and-done shades for those mornings when I'm in a hurry.

[@katieharris7219]

I've been wanting to pick up a few of those. Do you have any favorite or standout colors? ❤

[@crystalpolice]

@katieharris7219 I think I use Summer Dream, Birthday Girl, and Opal Gazed the most. The Starshow Shadow pots are also awesome from Moira, and I use Eureka and OMG the most out of the ones I have.

[@katieharris7219]

@@crystalpolice thanks so much!!❤️

[@tonyasullivan1164]

I like having a pigmented bronzer and blush that way I don't have to wear foundation underneath

[@onlytruth247]

Same here! It just seems to work especially if your skin doesn't have anything to really cover up. Those just brings some "life" back.

[@Lyranlight11]

I just placed my first Moira order - your videos were so helpful! Even thought were completely different skin tones your swatches help SO much. You’re an OG Jen ❤

[@JenPhelps]

Yes, they say they can be worn alone or over eyeshadow. :)

[@OnaBlaser]

Thank you Jen...you make it easy for us to know what makeup to try or buy. You are a jewel! I don't wear glitter eye shadow bcuz of my dry eyes. It looks so good on you! You are beautiful...with ot without makeup!

[@eliseraifman4766]

I would love to try the elf shadows. I usually prefer a sheer wash of colour so they look perfect for me. I recently purchased the Sheer Shine lipstick from the Sephora collection. It goes on with a hint of colour with the feel of a balm and a good amount of shine. I loved the one I had so much that I ordered two more in different shades today, while they are still at 30% off.

[@SandiTink]

I use both contour and bronzer and apply them in specific different areas, similar to your application. I tend to use a more obvious bronzer application in the summer.

[@JenPhelps]

I used to do the same thing! I just don't contour much anymore. :)

I'm glad to hear the elf liquid shadows are good. I like the sparkly ones, but I was worried the multi chromes would be patchy and fall short. I bet Revlon is testing the waters by only re-releasing a few lippie shades, but I'm still glad they're back!

[@laura10777]

Thank you, Jen! I ordered Girly Swirly in the Revlon lip shines from Amazon. I love it, but it looks like I’ll need a deeper shade for Fall/Winter. 😊

The elf shades are better as toppers to a matte nude eyeshadow. Also: to avoid glitter fallout, do your eyes first! Then a q-tip loaded with eye makeup remover for a quick clean-up.

I'm glad revlon brought back the glass shines to the u.s. market! Fun fact, in México they were never discontinued, and I've felt so lucky haha! There are a few different shades here too, like toasting glasses, fire and ice, cherries in the snow AND the og revlon color, black cherry! This one is so beautiful, I think it would be very popular this time of the year :)

[@katieharris7219]

I've been using the elf bronzer in fair for a few weeks and I LOVE it!! I'm going to try the fair light shade next now that I've seen the actual color. I also love the lilac blush shade too! I find the formula works best when I take the time to really work it into my brush ("priming the brush") from the back of my hand. Once all the pigment is gone from my hand, then I will apply to my face. It never gets out of control applying it that way like the Rare Beauty or other pigmented blushes can. I also picked up a glass shine Lippie in Girly Swirly. It's wonderful and I'm so glad the formula is back! Rum Raisin and the mauve shades are next on my list! I am also going to look for those Revlon liners. I love that concept of using it anywhere on the face; plus, liners with brushes are the BEST ever!! ❤❤❤

[@sharroon7574]

I was a bit nervous when you applied a cool toned contour shade as bronzer all over but it really worked! I may have to rethink everything lol.
