I Bought EVERY BLUSH at the DRUGSTORE & TESTED Them Back to Back

[@rebnae]

Millennial here 🙋🏻‍♀ As someone who absolutely detests this shift to short-form content (I can't do the 15-30s videos), these long videos (borderline documentaries ❤) are a DREAM. I love putting on a KZbin video as I get ready for my day (skincare, makeup, hair) because it's like getting ready with a friend. THANK YOU for all of the work that goes into these, you are amazing. Side note -- I am old enough to remember when Hard Candy was a nail polish brand that came with the cute rubber rings on top, and Alicia Silverstone made it super famous after sharing it was her nail polish of choice in the shade Sky, right after Clueless came out! She was THE "it" girl and they used to sell Hard Candy at Nordstrom 😂

[@annacolombo3025]

Oh my goodness! Right around that time, my best friend had an aunt who worked at a Nordstrom and she always treated us to those! As well as Escada perfume minis. Is Escada still around? I wonder..so going to go reach out to said friend, its been a minute. Thanks for all the memories! Did you have one of those pens with the feathers on top like in Clueless too ?lol ❤️✌️

[@gwendolyncampbell7932]

Omg me too ! I was a OG hard candy girl. I ordered a palette off some home shopping thing my mum was watching lol. Too Faced had stuff too a single eyshdow . So I used to wear that makeup to see bands play and to go clubbing. And I love long form KZbin too!!

[@emmy6287]

@rebnae As if 😂

[@Mariakayc]

I still have about 6 hard candy nail polishes including sky with the rubber rings and they are still good!

[@loidaholder2689]

I needed to watch this cuz I’m the look for a new blush. I noticed the wear on my go-to blush right now by Hourglass, thinking that replacing it is not on my budget and it’s so good. This video answered the replacement choice as well as answering the questions about the blush I’m most curious about, the two powder Milani blushes. I’m going to have to watch it again with my notebook and pen in hand for 2-3 in curious about, but worth the time I spent watching it. Totally checking your playlist. Thank you for sacrificing your face for us! ♥️

[@RunningNotStopping]

Girl you save us from so many hours of unnecessary videos. You are everything in one place. Thank you so much!

[@DiDiLark606]

Yes, and you do it all, so we don't have to. Now if we all could only look exactly like you with our makeup on. LOL. Please we all love you so much. It is a pleasure just watching and listening to you because you are so likeable.

[@user-rc2ym5tr3v]

[@emilyvolkamer304]

I wouldn't mind a marathon lip video filmed over multiple days.

[@carolwong9279]

Once I bought the Milani baked blushes (all shades), I stopped buying any other blushes, they are the best❤❤❤

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

They are so so good!!

[@aquariusrizing]

Same!

[@misssunnydee]

Their Tea Rose blushes - embossed in a rose - are also great if you want a matte look, but still with a soft, satiny formula. I am an absolute blush hogger. Love the stuff, so I have a bag full of all kinds of blushes. I recently decluttered, as I went pretty much full on liquid/ cream for blushes and only wanted to keep great powder ones. Apart from one Catrice, one Korres, one Essence, one Etude House, one L'Oréal and one Physician's Formula powder blush I kept ALL my Milani baked blushes and the rose ones. The rest is all cream, putty & liquid (20 or so, many brand new so obviously they're staying). That's still plenty powder, but I'm sure that when I hit pan I'll *for sure* rebuy the Milani ones. The rest are maybes and no's. I don't have all shades of the Milani baked, as my Casper skin can only handle a few shades. But I definitely got all those 😉. (PS. Can't wait to try their cream blushes eventually! Their matte silky bronzers are also great. Their baked bronzers are also pretty and very pigmented, but their shade range sadly doesn't match my skin. I've had the lightest for a while - big pan! - but almost never reach for it because of its yellowish shade. I'll probably gift it to someone with a warmer skintone. If you're not cool toned, and not super fair, definitely try it. )

Just here to say how much I appreciate how much work went into this video, both from Nikki and Mitch. I really applaud the effort it took to making this video for us, thank you.

[@juliebridge7590]

I couldn't agree more!! Nikki sacrificing her skin over and over to help us get the best value for our money! Thank you Nikki and Mitch

[@cassandraanderson3314]

Totally agree ❤❤ with the rising prices I’m not buying as much makeup, but I still want to get myself new blush every now and then. So it’s nice to see a comprehensive review from somebody trustworthy.

[@JustinWilliams-pn9sg]

I can really appreciate the Spanish subtitles. As someone who knows a lot of Spanish words but doesn't feel comfortable forming sentences its nice to hear the words and see them converted on screen. Its a makeup lesson and language lesson bringing us all closer together.

Nikki did it again!🎉👏🏼 Only Nikki can do videos on all makeup products and still have flawless skin♥️

[@mirjamschaart]

When I was younger drugstore products were generally only a tiny step up from kids makeup. I love seeing how far brands have come since!

[@OpalMoonstone247]

Yes! So true. L'Oreal was the priciest, however, their eyeshadows were garbage in the late 90s. We only had Revlon(still semi garbage brand so far) , CoverGirl (never had a fair enough shade that wasn't too pink or orange), and the Maybelline, which had great eyeshadow singles, but that's it. I think we had WetnWild but I don't remember too much. I think most of my makeup came from dollar store LA Colors, and that was complete garbage back then, and kinda still is. I had a tomboy mother who hated makeup, so I wasn't allowed to wear it till almost 15, but only because her friend bought some for me. My grandpa would also gift the Maybelline eyeshadows to me sometimes, when I'd help him with grocery shopping. He was such a kind-hearted, thoughtful grandpa. He gifted me a Caboodles kit once too.💙

[@allietheparanormaladventurer]

The Essence blushes are among my faves high end drug store all of them. They are so gorgeous. Idk how they do such amazing products for so cheap. Their cream bronzer, blush and powders are just amazing.

[@fossil1127]

Because they dont spend a lot on packaging and marketing.

[@allietheparanormaladventurer]

@@fossil1127Right. Like you really do pay all that money for the name of the brand and the packaging. However I’m a sucker for pretty packaging. lol. I love my luxe makeup but you can’t beat their formula

Essence blush shade she used here in this video? @nikkilarose

[@Jelenicko]

I remember when I first came to USA back in 2008 and went to CVS for the first time seeing cover girl, wet and wild and all other drugstore brands we didn’t have in Europe. I felt like a kid at the candy store. This video is such a walk down the memory lane ❤️

[@sydeezy17]

The ELF putty blush in Maui is literally my everyday blush. It’s gorgeous and feels so high end! ❤

[@DiDiLark606]

I REALLY REALLY loved that one too. I've already ordered it and one other Milani blush. I'm an ELF & Milani girl. (oh yeah, and Tom Ford & Charlotte Tilbury whose products I rarely ever buy anymore (except on Mercari or ebay)

[@habiba6039]

Hiii! So would you say that the shade Maui is good for pale skin ? The blush I currently use looks quite orange on me and I prefer a pink shade

[@sydeezy17]

@@habiba6039 It’s more of a mauve! Coolish undertones. Gorgeous and you can build it or keep it sheer! I too am very pale and everything looks orange on me 😮‍💨 but Maui does not! 🌸

[@annemariecronen9096]

As a teen in the mid to late 80’s, I had to suffer the low quality of (most)drugstore makeup. Those tiny blush brushes are giving me flashbacks 😟 So lucky to have options to mix and match higher end and drugstore makeup now ❤

[@TracyD2]

Same girl. I didn’t know any better.

[@Spicy_Lavender]

Same

[@sharonm.t.2492]

Same, and was an 80s teen. Yikes.

[@OpalMoonstone247]

Same, but I was a 90s teen. Didn't even know what a highlighter was until about 5 years ago. And they never sold brushes back in the day. 5 years ago, someone gifted me a batch of makeup which included a Kylie highlighter, but I thought it was defective, so I threw it away! 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I didn't know how to use it, thinking it was the same as blush, so when I couldn't see anything since it was a nude shade, I honestly thought it was fake or children's makeup. I actually thought Kylie cosmetics was a fake brand back a few years ago as well. After I joined Ipsy subscription, I learned a LOT. I finally got a chance to try the high end mascaras, and it made such a difference. Apparently, I didn't even know how to apply mascara, cuz Maybelline and L'Oreal actually have some of the best. KZbin has taught me sooo much. 🖤

[@lavoixdevelours]

There's only been one drugstore blush I've used constantly over the years, and it's Flower Beauty Warm Hibiscus. It has that duo chrome, and doubles as a highlighter for me. I use her matte blush in Peach Primrose too.

[@laurens7145]

I was hoping you’d try the Joah Air Light Blush (sold at CVS) because it’s honestly the best powdered blush I think I’ve ever experienced. It’s super finely-milled and doesn’t accentuate fine lines or pores. There’s no shimmer or sparkle and you can apply it lighter or layer it for a more intense punch of color. More people need to know about it!

[@amyhartley4768]

went to look at this brand and saw Spend $12 get $8 extra care bucks right now. 😂 Have you tried the shade cool magnolia that says it’s new?

I first fell in love with makeup in the early 90’s, when Nikki Taylor was the face of Cover Girl - definitely trip down memory lane when thinking of cheekers! I also remember when Hard Candy was sold in department stores and they sold matching rings with their nail polishes. Great video!

[@Sabrina-Mepham23]

My favourite Blushes are Milani baked blushes, my favourite 2 Dolce Pink and Luminoso. I need to try the Milani cream Blush too and I want to try the Elf liquid Blush

[@carolpeterson5515]

Thank you for doing a drugstore blush video. You taught me what blush qualities are important and you made me feel good that I own some of your favorites, I.e, Elf liquid, putty, & infused powder, Milani and Essence powder blushes. I also have the Loreal 24 hour Fresh Wear blush and agree it’s very pigmented and tricky to apply. I brush my hand first to take some of it off the brush before applying to cheeks. The only quality of the blushes that you didn’t emphasize was longevity. I have a makeup dilemma when it comes to that aspect. When I first apply most blushes, they look pretty pigmented, but not too long after, they seem to fade. On the other hand, sometimes as a day or evening progresses, my natural cheek flush makes me look like I’m wearing too much blush if I put t blush on to start with

If you love the bouncy blush formula you should try the A’pieu juicy pang blushes and the holika holika jelly dough blusher. They’re like that one or similar to the mac glow play blushes. I love them too! Korean beauty is taking over my entire skincare and makeup routines!

Elf’s rosy blush is so good; the milani powder blush is in my buy list

Amazing video and there were a few blushes that took me back many years. For my 62-year old wrinkled skin, I love my Milani baked blushes in Dolce Pink and Luminoso. I’ll always repurchase them….. they’re outstanding and I’m very happy that you feel the same about them. The only other one that I’ve also used is the L’Oréal True Match in that same pink, but I’ll stay with Milani.

Lipstick Queen Frog Prince! The Lottie London adjust-to-pH blush is the first I have ever seen. Cool! Good work all around. Adding elf camo liquid blush and Maybelline Fit Me to my list!

Would love a similar video for makeup brushes! Debating on which brushes to buy since there are so many different opinions so would be great to know your opinions on Morphe, Sigma, Zoeva but also Nars, Mac, etc.

What a champ, swatching all of these on your face must have been such a chore. It was fun to watch, and I really appreciate your pro recommendations. Thanks!
