💖 ABOUT ME:
Hi, my name is Jen I am 44 and live in Connecticut with my husband and 8 year old son. I am a stay-at-home Mom and full-time KZbinr with a degree in business with a focus in marketing. Before leaving work when my son was born, I was a commercial lender at a bank. I also worked at Sephora and Macy's doing visual merchandising.
I have dry skin with some hyperpigmentation and fine lines. I love natural makeup looks but occasionally go outside my comfort zone a little bit. On my channel you'll find lots of videos about drugstore makeup and drugstore dupes (those are my favorites to film!) but I also review high-end makeup as well. I hope you enjoy my channel and if you do, please don't forget to SUBSCRIBE & leave me a comment!

[@ryanh4700]

I have😊 to tell you . I was just on Reddit. People were sharing who they liked and thought were sell outs. Your name came up a lot . You are loved. So many people love your honest reviews

[@JenPhelps]

Aw I'm so glad to hear that! I do peek over there sometimes but I'm always a little anxious at what I might find.

[@ryanh4700]

@JenPhelps Understandable . Just keep being you and don't change like many influencers have, and you will be loved ❤️

[@laur83]

we adore your authenticity and relatability. please never sell out ❤

[@Tamara-ek1uk]

Yup I love not just Jen’s honest reviews but the beauty of her unflamboyant genuine personality. Not to mention her psychedelic swatches!

[@martasoltys9091]

That's so great!!!! Congrats Jen. I also like your reviews. Not everything you recommended worked out for me, for various reasons, but I don't regret trying anything you've recommended. Some of it went to my mom or my friends (often honestly b/c if I like an original product I find my brain doesn't accept a dupe ;-) ) but all in all, great reviews.

[@deborahanderson1686]

🎉Anyone else get super excited when Jen posts a new video?!? 🎉

[@Tamara-ek1uk]

Yup that’s me!

[@MilliDavison]

A late saturday evening upload for us UK folk, what a treat just in time for my pre bed cuppa! Nothing more relaxing after a LONG day & week at work, thank you for all your hard work on these videos recently Jen your a superstar!x

[@jenniferw392]

That eye look turned out absolutely beautiful! Thank you for always addressing things like asymmetric brows, facial asymmetry, and hooded and aging eyes in a neutral manner. I have all three, and your videos help to remind me that these are all normal, not uncommon, and not negative! ❤

[@JenPhelps]

Yes! They are very normal, and we should never try to compare ourselves to anyone. There is so much beauty in "imperfections"!

[@kateaye3506]

@jenniferw392 There are some of us who are adamant that aging is a privilege and we appreciate what we are born with. In this era of embracing differences, we've come to look so homogenous, especially on social media. Makes me value people like Jenn, and yourself, all the more for staying natural.

[@mirny1509]

Watching Jen is like receiving a warm hug 🥰 such a treat every time you post. And I’m SO excited to see the Dragon Eye palette!

[@carrieharjo4478]

I love that the drugstore is coming up with more brow options! I would LOVE a drugstore version of UD brow blade!

[@trac6009]

I started watching makeup channels before my sons wedding...your channel is one I still watch...Love your videos

[@whatsupbeauty]

Absolutely stunning eye look! Really appreciate your kind words and support! It means a lot!

[@biogirl1381]

the what’s up beauty palette is absolutely gorgeous, and i loveeee the eye look that you created. i LOVE their formula and have wanted to try their brushes for years now!!! i’m so glad that you tried the l’oréal mascara because i’ve been really curious about it. omg, i ADORE NIKKI, and i watch her videos and lives every week, and she’s one of the sweetest and most genuine and down to earth people in the world, and she’s also an AMAZING teacher!!! she loves bk beauty brushes and i’m so happy that her and lisa made this collab together, and these brushes are beautiful. i definitely have these on my wishlist for sure. the MUFE blushes look beautiful and i’ve always loved their lip liners. 💜💜💜

[@mscanadianbakin]

That blush is gorgeous.

[@marionallen2222]

I love deep plum purples and dark greens too that’s why I love the ABH Fall Romance so much I would’ve never bought it off the screen in person it’s amazing that Leather color and the glitter one that matches soooooooo gorgeous!!!! Perfect for Thanksgiving!!!!! So glad I saw it in store! 🤍💚💜🤍🤎💚💜🤍🤎💚💜

[@cassandraqcassandraq5510]

You can always save mascara brushes you like and use them with a formula you like .

[@lyn930]

Was wondering about the Estee Lauder Concealer. They Dragon Palette is amazing, and the blush is beautiful. Thanks, Jen. Blessings!

[@janb9668]

Nikki also has a great video for the brushes and how she uses them and why she made the different shapes and bristles. Love seeing all your recommendations 😀🇨🇦

[@annelabrie8837]

That blush is magical amongst the one hundred powder blushes we have to choose from!

[@stephanie92098]

I agree, setting the brows first is cleaner you don't get the brow pencil or pen ink whatever on the spoolie of the center

[@bethallen7723]

I appreciate all the work you do creating videos for us!

[@MakeupAgain561]

The Dragon Eye color story is so beautiful! I loved the eye look so much! 😮 those Makeup Forever blushes are beautiful! I have really dark skin and Daring Candy is calling my name! 😮‍💨

[@Bruuner]

That eyeshadow palette is so gorgeous! Do you think you could do a short with live swatches of the multichromes?

[@melissak5663]

Thinking about getting the eyeshadow palette 😂❤

[@maryabdel-malik656]

Hi Jen you are doing your brow the very right way I saw professional makeup artists doing it the same way & this is what I do now 👍👍

[@szpirita]

The overall look turned out gorgeous. The blush is incredible.

[@maryellengrayberg9146]

Jen, I have to say you create very percise, in depth videos. I watch several content artist and you are so detaill oriented and organized.Thank you. Well Done! P.S I use ECRU also so you help me out with your demos. So helpful.🙂

[@beverlynelson599]

Hi Jen! You always look pretty, but I think you look even PRETTIER with your hair back! 😊 Gorgeous eyeshadow pallet. Thanks for reviewing!

[@elizabethnachman2557]

Your skin is absolutely glowing and gorgeous today!

[@truewants]

wow the dragon palette is really impressive...like everything too!

[@maryeckel9682]

I could definitely hear a low buzz from the leaf blowers 😅 it's funny, I was just realizing I need much smaller brushes for my crinkly, hooded old babe eyelids. That eye look is gorgeous!

[@luisacerrato331]

Hi Jen, I always use an eyelash primer and it makes a big difference. Loreal makes a great one.

[@sherrypettit5552]

Love that and it curls my lashes

[@jtidema]

That dragon eye shadow palette really caught my eye - I love the Geodes one too. I can't see spending that much, myself, but they are seriously gorgeous. Hoping they go for less in the future some time!

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

Last year I know that the geode one was $25 on BF. I doubt they put the new one on sale this year, but if not I'll wait a year lol

[@jtidema]

@@tiffanykennedybeauty that's more my speed! What is BF?

[@tiffanykennedybeauty]

@jtidema Black Friday lol. I haven't seen/heard anything announced for them yet, but if I do I'll comment back for you!

[@jtidema]

@@tiffanykennedybeauty Found it for $28.50 on Amazon and it is on its way here! Duh, I was thinking BF meant a site! Thanks!

[@heathersargent289]

I bought that foundation and it is like magic i swear it looks better as the day goes on also i would also suggest using an oil base primer with it like the merrit or something. I use my finger and a sponge but i like light coverage. I haven't tried the estee concealer yet but i love the Lancome skincare and glow concealer with it .

[@JenPhelps]

I'll definitely try the primer...I used it on bare skin today but I'll experiment. Thanks! :)

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

I didn’t realize it is an oil base tint. I need to try this out! My dry skin is going to love this.

[@LisaMarlene.]

Happy Saturday everyone!!!

[@ladidaohoh3168]

Once you got all your makeup on, I think your brows looked really nice and natural 😊 Edit: so funny how we can all see different things and have different preferences, I thought your brows looked really good, and wrote this b4 I got to the end and realized you didn’t like it lol.

[@surpriseitsus9622]

I liked it too, you are not alone! But, she could throw it on and she would look beautiful 😊

[@annedurica2612]

Such a pretty look, purple is very flattering for you! Love that eyeshadow palette, might have to go on my holiday wish list😉

[@anncollard1742]

Wow b4 I even watch the video can I just say you look STUNNING

[@fionafrazer8820]

What gorgeous colors on you - I'm used to seeing you in warmer shades, but these cool tones are fabulous, especially the lip and cheek colors.

[@christinamoller4342]

Definite yes to the eyeshadow palette. Beautiful!

[@pattynipper]

You look so beautiful! The colors you chose for eyes, lips, and cheeks look perfect on you!

[@pdmullgirl]

Hey Jen! I always watch your videos til the end. Love that eyeshadow palette!! So pretty. Enjoyed the video my dear! ❤️💜💚

[@pamcollins1651]

Another knowledgeable video ❤Jen thank you. I must say as a recently turned 67yo my greatest struggle has been finding suitable, realistic looking brow products. A few weeks ago Emily Noel introduced a 3in1 brow product from Estée Lauder which has a thin pencil at one end, a soft tip with powder in the middle and a clear gel on the other end. I think there are approx. 8 shades. I immediately ordered it in the light, cool blonde shade which matches well with my silver/white hair!

[@robertshelleyduck3268]

Love this look, especially the eyes and cheeks! What gorgeous products. I agree about the brows and foundation. What a shame, for those prices I would have expected more....You look stunning in purples Jen, and your application is flawless.

[@dreamscape405]

This look is Gorgeous ❤ I recently bought more of those Moira lipstick balms, and I Love Rosy Vibes❤ Dazzling Peach is such a pretty one too🎉 I haven't tried What's Up beauty before, but definitely buying Geode. This palette looks a little dark for my taste💖 Love the purples on you, the sweater is super pretty 🥂💝

[@jill_the_organized_hoarder]

I was really hoping the foundation & concealer would work, but glad I waited for ur review before purchasing. LOVED the eye look & will def be purchasing the palette!

[@sherryryniak4506]

I’m really liking today’s look on you, colors definitely suit your skin tone, very nice 👍 & just my opinion but I think that new brow shade fits you quite well, doesn’t look too light on this end. THANKS again for taking time to bring us another informative video pretty lady!!

[@JenPhelps]

Watching the video back you're right the brow color doesn't look too bad. For some reason in person I wasn't loving it but I'll have to play with it a little bit more. :)

[@giselled.4149]

I think your skin looked beautiful! I am impressed that a skin tint covered so well!

[@sherrypettit5552]

What a great way to wake up early in the morning!

[@fannyguerra8173]

I really really really want that brush set! The concealer brush seemed to work effortlessly.

[@sozayas]

I was very hopeful for the concealer ; it a shame that creases. I am in love with the blush; beautiful color and long lasting.

[@elizabethhannah6836]

This was a nice surprise for the end of my Saturday. That eyeshadow palette had me at Dragon, and is awfully pretty! I thought that the skin tint was very flattering on you; I wonder if it would wear better with a light dusting of powder to set. The MUF blushes appear to be quite special, and honestly, I want them all 😊

[@laikanbarth]

I will never spend $32 on a blush. Milani has a lot of great blushes that are made in Italy and Laura Gellar (who has sales all the time on her makeup) her blushes are made in Italy too. $32 is way overpriced for one blush!! You look great Jen!! I love that foundation on you. I may have to try the Estée Lauder foundation.

[@JenPhelps]

It's true, Flower and Laura Geller blushes are amazing! Normally I wouldn't pay $32 for a blush but these are quite special as far as the formula goes...smoother than almost anything I've tried! But I would say most luxury blushes aren't worth it.

[@20thcenturyrelic]

I agree with you on paying that much for a blush. There are plenty of good drugstore blushes, and I'll stick with them. I bought a travel size version of the famous Nars Orgasm blush to try, and I was underwhelmed. It was OK, but the color was too bright for me. It stayed on me all day, so I can say that for it. But I just don't understand why people love it so much. I'll stick with my L'Oreal True Match blush in Baby Blossom as my basic, every day product.

[@christahodges]

Hey there Jen, I'm here to like, comment, and watch to make that algorithm pop! I pray you and your hubby feel better soon. Sending hugs🫶

[@najetteroberts5553]

Love, love your eye look. And they slayed that dragon palette artwork. Holy beautiful dragon!! And the colors look so pretty. And the blush looks amazing on you Jen. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Jen!!! And happy Thanksgiving to all that celebrate 🍾 ❤.

[@JenPhelps]

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :)

[@sherrypettit5552]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family. This year is going by fast

[@ClaraBarrerabeautyisageless55]

All the makers looks gorgeous 💕

[@meitalkabeli509]

I saw the new Loreal mascara on Amazon so I'll see how I like it when it comes.The Maybelline brow looks interesting, it might be worth trying instead of using two separate products, on days when I need to rush out the door. Those blushes look amazing, love how smooth it goes on.

[@leonnacovey8979]

I actually really like the brow color on you! It looks gorgeous!

[@paulabray4865]

I do my brows that way round too!

[@Butterflymessages]

Love you Jen, you beautiful woman you! ❤️I was hoping you would review the dragon eye palette. I’m so excited to get it soon!

[@samuelmiriamcabrera5811]

Jen. Because of your last video i made an order on Sigma with their 3 for 30$ on their 9 pan palettes. Thanks for the heads up! And the dragon palette will be going directly in my basket too. The swatches you made sold me completely

[@LenaSheppard]

Omyword the eyeshadow palette & eyeshadow brushes you used are gorgeous. I'm always so impressed when you show other creators brushes when you have your own brush set collab. You are class!! I appreciate you so, so much !

[@marionallen2222]

I got the ABH Fall Romance pallet today it is so beautiful!!!! They could not be more perfect for the colors I love!!! Except the weird bright purple … like why???!!! lol 🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎🤍🖤🤎💚💚💚

[@engelneen1686]

I have very dry skin and I love the EL double wear. I just use a small amount and it looks so natural. I am going to check out the foundation you used today. Also, I so appreciate that you swatch collections, palettes, etc.

[@paularawls9228]

I want to try those blushes for sure! So nice and soft looking/feeling. Love you Jen!

[@lexiepsy]

Wow the sparkle in the eye shadow is amazing! I really want to try that blush! Looking beautiful as always! 💜

[@janeneg]

An influencer I watch on TikTok tested the L’Oréal mascara and found it IS a tubing formula. ❤❤❤

[@michellegray8087]

Hi Jen. I ordered the Dragons eye pallet as soon as it launched. I can't wait to use it!!.

[@tinahickman6300]

I just bought the rose and Ben foundation brush and concealer brush and I am in love with these brushes! I paid $68 for the two of them together so yes they're expensive but they are so worth it!

[@judyhechinger-5946]

Love the eyeshadow look! You are the best!!

[@pamcooke61]

That blush on you is stunning

[@tamizilla]

Hallo Jen, thank you helped a lot. Love the makeup look. Trying to chill spending but the palette and blush looks so pretty

[@saw-whet]

Getting the liner. And the shadow. Thanks for honest reviews ❤❤❤

[@beckyahlers4349]

The eyebrow color you used is beautiful on you!! 🥰

[@tonyasullivan1164]

I like that they only release one pallet a year I think it shows how hard they work I have the other two and I'm definitely getting this one as soon as I see a discount

[@sheenamatherne6546]

Another beautiful look and very informative.. Thanks

[@lisathornton4831]

So glad you tried the Estee Lauder. I was curious about it. I have never found an EL foundation thats worked for me but I am always hopeful :) I am going to look into the brow product. Hope there is a color I can use. The palette is stunning!

[@melindacochran5193]

Hello Jen..I must say I loved everything you used and your look is absolutely gorgeous!!❤

[@barbararobson7969]

You makeup application was beautiful. Thanks for the video

[@clbloyd]

I love your eye look so much! It really made your eyes pop. ❤

[@addiewoodcroft]

Your eye look came out great! I did order the palette and can't wait for it to arrive...I'm also loving the Moira lip balm...very smooth and lasts pretty long.

[@l.c.8798]

I'm loving these berry cool tones on you today, Jen! Thanks SO much for all the A+ content lately, you are killing it! 🎈💯🫶

[@bethmcnair5040]

That eye look is beautiful 🤩

[@Lskm09]

I have watched you for so long Jen! I love your videos ❤😊

[@gladysgarrity5721]

Hey Jen love the eyeshadow palette will be picking that one up it’s beautiful love the blush to see you soon ❤

[@wandamccarty2171]

Beautiful look!

[@kathi1987]

Rephr has amazing goat hair brushes made in Japan and their Black Friday deals are incredible 😊

[@JenPhelps]

Yes!! I talked about them in my Black Friday video the other day, they're incredible!

[@daniellezadora7637]

Beautiful as usual ❤

[@kerryberes6886]

Really pretty makeup look!

[@Grace_Diana]

Love the eye look! Thank you for reviewing the Estee products❤️❤️

[@jackielynnlloyd5873]

I just want to say I love you!!! Not in a weird creepy way but in an I get super excited whenever I see your face on my screen kind of way!! lol! Seriously tho you are who I have been watching on repeat like I’ve binge watched so so many of your videos lately it’s all I wanna do when I wash my face or fold my laundry or especially when I’m putting my makeup on! You are such a kind soul and you radiate such fun and happy vibes that you always leave me in a great mood after watching your videos!! Much love from Montana!!!! Btw I think you are absolutely stunning and you are great at putting makeup on!!!❤❤

[@JenPhelps]

Aww this is the sweetest comment, thank you so much!! I know exactly what you mean because there are KZbinrs that I feel the same way about. It makes me so happy to know that my channel is like that for you! 🥰

[@helpfulnatural]

Really pretty look Jen. Those eyeshadows are so impressive! 🐲

[@kaylynnhuddleston5533]

really love this review!! I love Lash Paradise😭😭😭

[@Queenmarie88]

I am ready for Jen’s Vlogmas !!!!!! 🌲 🧑‍🎄 🛎️

[@kathleenmoortel5449]

Your makeup and outfit combinations always look so beautiful 😍

[@libertychic8926]

Purple and green is also my fave 2 shades to use on my eyes!!! 💜💚🙌🫶

[@libertychic8926]

And purple 💜 is my favorite color!

[@kathleenp3135]

Jen, Thank you for doing the wear test with the concealer. It looked sooo great when you applied it. Too bad it creased as well as faded. After you initially applied it, it did not appear to need to be set. Looked very flawless. Oh well!

[@JenPhelps]

It really didn't seem like it needed powder at all and my skin is pretty dry so I figured it would be okay. Oh well!

[@maryabdel-malik656]

Undone brow pen is very good I always have couple backups it is also 2 in 1

[@jenniferoneill8040]

Your makeup is perfection! Love that lipstick color on you!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Jen, thanks for the video! I won't be trying anything because I'm still on a no buy for makeup, except for replacing mascara every 4 months. When I do, I might consider that L'Oreal mascara. Oh, and I love that purple sweater on you!

[@robynwolf3803]

Ty for this awesome video! Love the eyeshadow look! Love that new eyeliner in brown! Love love those blushes! I agree they give a lift from within! Absolutely gorgeous! Loved the Moira Lippy n the lip liner. The Estée Lauder foundation is not favorite but I loved the new concealer on u! I don’t like fragrance in my foundations. I did like that new eyebrow pen! U just need yr exact color! It’s a great concept! Ty for such a great detailed video. Always honest reviews! Luv u Jen! ❤❤

[@rabbiroz3806]

All of your videos are awesome, Jen. I find no foundation lasts on the tip of my nose or chin the whole day. I use a concealer on top and then powder, which gives me much better coverage. I’ve just accepted it as a step in my makeup routine. It doesn’t even matter whether I use a grip primer or what coverage the foundation promises. I do like the new Estée Lauder Foundation and have used it a lot. I really like the new Shiseido one too; I mix it with their last foundation release and think it is really pretty! Happy Thanksgiving!

[@cmkarma5554]

Great video Jen 😇

[@kam0406]

I hated last year’s Telescopic Lift not because it didn’t work beautifully, but because it wouldn’t NOT come off! My usual cleansing balm that works for all makeup had a hard time getting this off and it just was too much trouble to remove to make it worth it! Removing makeup takes time and I’m not willing to spend any longer than necessary!
