Some INCREDIBLE NEW MAKEUP...But AVOID This One Thing!

[@JenPhelps]

Apologies about the blank screen during my review of the elf lip balms...it was an editing error and I guess that's what I get for not watching it back first! 🤦‍♀🤦‍♀

[@Nessvnessa]

No worries Jen- rest of the video was great❤

[@megalinnn96]

No worries! I really enjoyed the video and found it helpful getting some early impressions.

I understood, plus you had some a winter Storm 💕😘 people Understand Jen !! You are Good 👍😊

Hi Jen, sometimes we all get gremlins spoiling things, I still enjoyed watching your review video,always do. Love Katherine xoxo

[@carriemeadows3518]

That's what I figured. Knowing very little but just enough, maybe a clip or two got dragged into the wrong order. Heh. Didn't matter to the testing. Those e.l.f. balms were such a disappointment and unexpected, with all their hits lately. Who thought this product was primed for launch.... 😳

[@jilljohnson251]

The weather outside is frightful, but the makeup is so delightful 😊

[@jtidema]

Now I'll have that song in my head all day.

[@jacquelinejanewashere]

Foundation matching is the bane of my existence I just recently bought blue mixing pigment to fix a bunch of my products because it's really hard to find cool tones, they make everything orange!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I have to agree with Jen that a lot of shades called "cool" seem to be leaning peach recently. Idk, maybe it's a trend that will have to run its course.

[@pajamamama5965]

I read a statistic and not sure if it's true but 70% of skin tones are yellowish. So those are the warm leaning shades. Cool tones used to mean more pink but unfortunately in my experience they're more orange these days. Unfortunately when we need more coverage the natural skin tone doesn't show through if a product has a lot of pigment. Skin tints don't work for me so I'm constantly using foundation mixers and it's annoying.

[@nancychristie7567]

I am thankful for LA Girl mixing pigments. I have pale skin and trying anything but the lightest colors I get yellow or peach! I don't for a minute feel annoyed about doctoring my foundation. I am the minority, I adjust.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@pajamamama5965 I wonder if any of those cosmetic brands that used to custom mix foundation are still around?

[@sherylwickenheiser2582]

Do you think that would work for tinted moisturizers too? I’m going to give it a try. I just bought two different colors from Lancôme but they turn orange on me. And I got the two lightest shades of tinted moisturizer.

[@monicapatton1405]

I just wanted to say that I appreciate you and I appreciate your unsponsored content. I have no problem with KZbin creators making a good living here but at the same time it can sometimes start to feel like the primary goal is to sell us something and it can have you looking at the content with skepticism. Anyway, I appreciate you, Happy Valentine’s Day ❤ 🍫

[@lindabenson1764]

Not that I personally care, but Jen has done the brush colab with Doll 10 and she raved about the Doll 10 lip products the most, sooooo....that's a tough one to know if that specific review was affected at all.

[@monicapatton1405]

@@lindabenson1764 yeah I hear you about the Doll 10 stuff.

[@heather-cz8yk]

It is demographics and companies not looking after life long customers. Look for a British line like Rimmel, YSL etc. Everything is too orange for me too and I am in Canada. All the fair to light tones get bought up too quickly. You cannot go by the names also...I have always been light, now sometimes I am fair or porcelain which I am not!!

[@Pamela-B]

Hi Jen! Not sure if you know this but…When you were testing the Elf lippies the screen went black during the Pinky color. Maybe it’s on my end (No big deal to me since they were awful anyway😂), but just thought I’d mention it. Thanks for sharing the good, the bad & the ugly. You’re one of the most trustworthy creators/reviewers out there! 💖

[@stellafoufas6102]

I really like the new elf lip stick balms. I don’t have any issues with separating or settling. I’m 44 so lips aren’t young and plump lol. But like you always say everything doesn’t work for everyone🙂. Thanks as always for unbiased reviews have a great night Jen enjoy the snow.

[@lmarieschu2370]

Your son prepping valentines is so cute! I hope he receives some nice ones back!

[@monicapatton1405]

Those eyeshadow sticks are super cool! So great for travel. Also for people who do the halo eye with glitter in the center on top and then mimic it in the center on the bottom lash line that size of glitter would work well. I saw Alex Anele do a look like that today and I think this applicator would be great for that. Even for beginners of that who have never put glitter on the bottom lash-like me 😂

[@juliemorris6916]

I love snow. Oh, it looks so beautiful thru your windows. ❤

[@Andio1966]

You are so right about the cool foundation shades lately being peach instead of pink. I cannot find my shade in any of the new formulas. Really bummed that I can’t try the foundations that most people are really raving about, like Haus labs.

[@marilynmroe9077]

Use the la colors pigment to adjust shades.. they are affordable and they do not change the formula at all... KZbin can help you with mixing skills.. it's really simple and easy... Anyone can do it... It is the best decision ever to add these to my collection..

[@jenniferoneill8040]

That shadow color is gorgeous on you!

[@Mediumcoffee14]

I appreciate your time and expense doing all these reviews. I have the Elf lip stick and a couple of NYX. I think they both work well. I didn’t have the problem with the elf settling in my lip lines or patchy.

[@nolegirl2863]

That snow is beautiful! I live in Florida, so I never get to see snow.

[@ElizabethDeFranco-d1g]

I did get one of the Elf plumping pens and I fully agree. It separates and looks very uneven.

[@beccastyver]

I love the About Face foundation. It sets nicely and wears well throughout the day. As a fair/light neutral olive gal I love the color match.

[@BlingyBea]

The snow falling was just beautiful, hope you had a Happy Valentine’s Day.💖🌹

[@dustyrose5994]

Totally agree about the peachy “cool” undertones. Apparently on top of that I’m some kind of unicorn having medium/medium tan skin with cool undertones. We don’t exist to most brands. I can find fair and light shades that supposedly cater to cool undertones. But they don’t even pretend to offer cool undertone foundations for darker skin tones. I’m so special and unique! 🙄🤣

[@MyCleverHandle]

"Special and unique!" I'm going to steal that! 😜

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Maybe that LA Girl mix in color correcter would help. Idk, I've never used a product like that.

[@carriemeadows3518]

L.A. Girl actually makes a larger pro mixing pigment in blue, orange, white, and black for shade modifications! Check your CVS. It's usually close to the bottom of the display.

[@Wpopurple]

Me too! I’m medium olive and have never found a perfect foundation match. I always have to mix

[@deejohnson827]

Great video, Jen! I cringe when I think about lip products making strings...😬 Thanks for the heads-up about those! I understand your preference of a less deep lip, but that dark cherry one was so pretty! Something about the contrast of your fair skin and blonde hair with the darker color was quite becoming on you. I hope you're enjoying the snow! ❤

[@Apayned1]

I love seeing you with your hair up! It allows your gorgeous face to shine! You look stunning regardless. ❤thank you for always sharing honest thoughts and enjoy the snow!

[@recyclops229]

It’s a no for me too on the ELF lippies. My lips are always dry and chapped so I’m sure I’d have the same issue as you did. The Doll 10 ones looked really pretty though and I love the colors.

[@robynwolf3803]

Loved the Kaja eyeshadow sticks! Loved the Doll 10 lippies! Shame about the elf ones. I know the weather is horrid outside but I love yr view of the snow from yr window. I was born & raised in Philadelphia,PA so I miss those beautiful scenes of the snow on the trees outside. I don’t miss shoveling or driving in it. I loved growing up up North! Especially going sledding & making snowmen & having so much in the snow! I’m sure yr son loves it! I loved having snow days off from school lol 😂. Now, I live in Sunny FL. What a difference. But, I do miss the change of seasons. Our 2 daughters born & raised in FL. So they only know about “Hurricane days.” It’s a different way of growing up. Ty for always sharing the makeup & swatches. Ur such a delight to watch! I’m so excited to try the new City Beauty Multi-Purpose Sculpting Cream! Ty for letting us know. They completely discontinued the old one “the Multi-Sculpting Cream.” I spoke to them. They revamped the new formula! I’m so so excited! TFS! ❤❤ Much appreciated. 🎉

Oh gosh. I'm from CT. I moved to CA due to an autoimmunes so they could be more addressed but I completely miss the snow. My Lyme Disease didn't like it but I loved it 😂.

[@rebekahsalazar3995]

Where I live (Colorado) we had 12 inches of snow dump on us in a few hours this past weekend. It was intense even for a native like myself.

[@JenPhelps]

That's how this storm was! It started around 4am and by noon we had almost a foot. Then it was gone as soon as it had arrived.

[@joannogas4391]

That. La Girl blue mixer really saved the foundation. Will it work well with yellow toned foundations too. I have a couple foundation formulas that I love, but color ,not so much.

[@mustloveeyeshadow7799]

The eyeshadow stick with powder on the other end has existed for a while. I think there used to be a covergirl/max factor product like that in the late 90s early 2000s. Currently clinique just released something similar on the ulta website about a week ago.

[@sandraplumley419]

So intrigued by the Kaja eyeshadow pencils! I appreciate the good report on their longevity throughout the day. Wondering about your thoughts on how long they’ll last overall? Will the glitter side be emptied before the cream shadow side?

[@debranaumczik6286]

Good review , and me being fair skin, definitely wouldn't like a foundation looking more warm or too dark. And not a glitter fan, I don't mind a shimmer ...you actually look good in a darker color lip product!💗? ...but I understand, The Rose was real pretty color ... happy Valentine's Day.

[@anniej.4539]

The About Face foundation is absolutely amazing! I just bought it yesterday and wearing today with a matte primer and it looks incredible. Very long wearing and natural but not glowy or dewy. It’s $22 and a great value! Cons: The dough foot is terrible and sticks and splashes out when you pull it out and put it back in the bottle. Absolutely shop in store, don’t try to find your shade online. The swatches are not accurate at all, they were just released in store at ULTA. On another note, I’m a cool toned pink gal and I don’t know what is going on with brands making cool shades totally orange. @Jen, while I only like one of their foundations, bare minerals has the best cool shades for pinky people. Rose Inc has nice cool shades too. I hope they all get it together soon with the cool shades!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Be aware that this foundation has Gaultheria procumbens (wintergreen) leaf oil in it which is a type of mint. This can be a very irritating ingredient. It's way down the ingredients list, so there isn't much of it. But if you notice any irritation - redness, tingling, itching, and/or a rash - that may be why. I know I don't react well to mint, or menthol either, so I'll definitely skip this one.

[@kerryprendergast8716]

The ingredient list at the company website lists wintergreen leaf extract, not oil.

[@anniej.4539]

@@20thcenturyrelic thank you for the heads up! I haven’t gotten any reactions to it yet but I appreciate the information, that’s helpful to know!

Thanks for the warning about the e.l.f. lip balms, taking it out of my cart! I really want to like the e.l.f. tubing mascara, but it flattens my lashes out like crazy. My favorite is their Lash n'Roll.

I’m afraid to see what the About Face olive undertones look like now. I don’t think I’ll blind buy. I’ll swatch in store first.

[@michelmcgregor1684]

I REALLY love the new af foundation!!!!! The shade range is incredible. I do have a peach undertone so the “cool” undertoned shade I got was perfection! The wear time is fantastic and it looks great on my 54 year old skin. It’s ranking right up there with my HG Ulta Complexion Crush foundation. Highly recommend both foundations.

Hi Jen. I loved this video as always. I live in Georgia where we never get snow, and I love snow. I was just visiting my daughter who lives in New haven and I left 3 days before this snow storm., so I was sad, but have been watching videos of my daughter and her children enjoying and playing in the snow. I'm so jeleous. Have fun and be safe.

Jen have you ever tried the be perfect foundation? It is full coverage, but I am soon to be 63 and have very dark circles around my eyes and it definitely covers them, better than any concealer I've ever used. Also another product I love is the wet & wild blush stick, that is my go to when I don't have much time to get ready, it's quick, easy, looks great and lasts pretty long.

I agree about cool tone foundations. They are so dark. Example N3 and C3 in L’Oréal True Match Super Blendable are crazy different. The cool is deeper and even deeper than the W3. I am quite fair in the winter and neutrals work best, although I think my undertone is more on the pink side.
