NEW DRUGSTORE MAKEUP...RATED! ⭐⭐⭐

[@jbbb7418]

Jen, I felt the same way about the Rudolph palette last year, and didn’t get it. I was being all grown up and responsible. 🙄 I regretted that decision ALL YEAR, to the point that I emailed ColourPop to see if they had any extras lurking around. I emailed them a few more times throughout the year to please please bring it back…. As soon as I saw it rereleased, I got so excited. On launch day, my husband said “buy the whole collection, so I don’t have to hear about Rudolph the red nosed reindeer all year again, it’s bad enough you make me watch it on repeat through the Christmas season!” 😂😂😂😂😂 I love that man

[@jewelsbarbie]

Omg, I love this story so much!! 😂 It’s awesome that you finally got your Rudolph palette. 🦌❤️🙌

[@amandawhitlock8607]

Jen your reviews are the best because you don't just say, "this product sucks" and give it a bad review. You always say things like, "I don't like this product because of x,y, and z but you might like it if...". You always think of all the angles and it's something I appreciate the most about you, other than the fact that you're so sweet and kind. 🤗🤗 Have a great weekend girlie!

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much Amanda! I always try to think of who else might be using a product and be mindful of the fact that I'm stating my opinion on products and not facts so not everyone will agree with me. :)

[@R.L.Maverick]

@@JenPhelpsexactly!!! Which is why I trust your reviews so much!

[@BlingyBea]

Amen to that.❤

[@larissamartinez6880]

Jen you work so hard and I love that you don't take sponsorships. How can we best support you and your channel? Is it by clicking on your links or watching the ads in your videos without skipping them? Thanks girl you're the best!

[@gigi2k326]

Watch until the end, comment & like!!

[@gigi2k326]

Watch until the end, comment & like!!

[@JenPhelps]

Aw thank you! That's so sweet of you to ask! 🥰💕 Yes, clicking on my links and watching ads do help and are much appreciated, but please don't feel like you have to! There is also something that most people don't know that might be even more important than links and ads, and that is "watch time". KZbin heavily weighs watch time and how fast viewers click on a video once it's published. If people watch the whole video (without skipping around) and they watch within the first hour of it being published, KZbin assumes that it's a video that people are excited about and want to watch, so that helps it to go viral and get more views. If viewers don't watch for very long, or they don't watch the video for a few days, those affect it negatively and it won't get as many views or be shared by KZbin. So doing those things is a huge way to support my channel and help it to grow! 🙌

[@roseschulze1647]

​@@JenPhelpsThanks for letting us know that! :))

[@kuklakid]

I totally agree

[@my3sons757]

I love how you are so thorough. You both demonstrate the product and you explain how and why you came to your conclusion. You never rush. I hate spending time and money to purchase cosmetics only to get them home and find they are not for me. You're saving us all of that time spent and you're saving us money by doing all the the work for us. Thanks Jen! It is appreciated! 💞💄👄

[@deborahanderson1686]

Thank you, Jen! If I had to rate your videos, I’d give you a 12 out of 10! We all love you so much!

[@JenPhelps]

Aww thank you, yay!! 🙌🥰❤️

[@dhayden1981]

BINGO!

[@victoriarose466]

I so appreciate your honesty. You could have easily not mentioned all the cons to these products or just slammed them profusely. However, you concisely lay out all the positives and negatives of each product so we as the consumer can choose for ourselves. Well done. This is why I keep coming back to your videos. I enjoy them immensely!

[@JenPhelps]

Thank you so much! :) I always try to look at product reviews from all angles since we all have different preferences. 💕

[@sondrachristensen6291]

Weeeeeeeeee!!!! I love new drugstore make up!! Thank you for swatching and trying everything for us so that we don’t have to spend money or buy things unnecessarily. I’m glad you save the best for last. That color pop palette is divine!!

[@queendivaamy]

Hi Jen. I just had to piggyback on what other people have said. I love your reviews and how you are so specific. And you personalize the products to you by saying how they wear on you or what your opinion is. a lot of influencers slam the product but I think that makeup is so individual. And it looks different and wears different on everyone. So, thank you very much for your hard work and your perspective. ❤

[@JenPhelps]

You're so welcome! Thank you so much for the kind words...it makes me happy to know that my reviews are helpful. :)

[@annelabrie8837]

Jen, the Colourpop Cloud palette. I got it two weeks ago directly from the Colourpop site. It was featured in one of those “aesthetic” shorts and I was influenced Lol! Even my husband thinks it’s beautiful. 😂😂. Colourpop is something else. 😊❤

[@dianamann8798]

Thanks for doing a drugstore video! I've seen so many Sephora videos lately and I've been waiting for someone to do new drugstore launches. As usual, your honest reviews hit the spot!

[@JenPhelps]

I've been waiting for new drugstore makeup to come out...it's been so slow the last couple of months! But now is the time of year when allll the new drugstore stuff launches! 🙌😍

[@rachelleensor3147]

Yup, I was at rite aid 2 days ago & it was slim pickin's. . . . . .I was like "where's all the new launches!"?

[@mpbeautyinsight]

Lots of pretty palettes, and while I don't buy super high-end, I am trying to stay away from the ultra-low-end. That's why Color Pop is such a cool brand ~ great price, beautiful shadows.

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

I bought the Cloud 9 palette on Friday! I have been seeking something with gray and silver tones, but most were too dark or just didn’t have other shades that I would use. Then I saw Cloud 9 on line. I had to go check it out. Swatched in store and it was an immediate reaction. For the first time in a long time, was super exited to buy a new eyeshadow palette. It is so unique and approachable with the mix of soft muted neutrals, silvers and grays. It stands out from any other cool tone palette I own.

[@JenPhelps]

I agree! I love how soft and muted the colors are...most cool tones tend to lean very dark and smokey and that's not my vibe at all!

[@MakeupAgain561]

Thank you as always for your thorough reviews! It really helps me decide what I can skip on, I know drug store makeup is more economical than luxury, but no one wants to waste money. You are a gem😊

[@JenPhelps]

So true! Even if it's less expensive it's still a waste of money if it's not good. 🥰❤️

[@dhayden1981]

yes, she is a valuable gem.

[@cj5056]

Cloud 9 palette looks beautiful. Thank you for your amazing reviews!

[@robertshelleyduck3268]

Jen, I really love this rating system, it's so helpful! You saved me from making some big mistakes. Also....I just love the way you do your eyeshadow. The looks are always stunning. Always.

[@crystalpolice]

The Colourpop Cloud 9 palette is so good! I have quite a few palettes, but there's something unique about this one.

[@jessicas9988]

I just bought the Colourpop Cloud9 palette & I love it! You definitely have to like cool tones. The formula is awesome! ☁️

[@Alice-fr1ef]

Hi Jen, I like highlighters that don't take over a face and that one was nice. The butter glosses are a great deal. Colourpop is one of my favorite eyeshadows. I have enjoyed this video so much Jen and it has been really helpful for me. I will save money and my budget likes that especially at this time of the year. Thank you again and be well.🥰💗❤💚💕🌺🌹🌸💐

[@yensid4294]

The silver shadow looks great on you (it kinda reads very light sparkly blue) I think the CP palette is probaly the prettiest & most truly cool palette I've seen. These are not shades flattering to me but I can still appreciate the colorstory. Anymore, if I don't want to spend upwards of $50 for an eyeshadow palette, I will purchase from CP over any drugstore brand or MUR.

[@addiewoodcroft]

I purchased the LA Girl palette and was hugely disappointed. I think this might be my last from them if they keep putting out palettes like this. I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it. Can't wait to see your reaction to the new Maybelline Lip Plumpers...😁

[@jennifermolina4396]

Eyeshadow look, 10/10! It’s gorgeous!

[@wendykaybroschinsky4069]

I agree with you on the mint factor. I won’t use anything with that scent, no matter how pretty it looks on. Also, I still absolutely love the NYX fat lip oils . I know lots of people didn’t like the texture but I found if I have too little or too much on it is more sticky, right in the middle is where it’s just perfect! Fantastic content as always! ♥️

[@JenPhelps]

That's so true of those!!

[@StarryViolet]

You are easily the best beauty channel out there!

[@NickaLah]

I'm excited for the Cloud 9 palette now 😃 I've been telling myself not get fomo for the Xenon or Pretty Grunge, because I saw this was coming out. Leave it to Colourpop to come out with a better alternative again. I bet Cloud 9 and Smoke Show would compliment each other, too.

[@melindarodriguez2807]

Your hard work doesn’t go unnoticed! ❤ Thank you for all you do 😊

[@mamarobyn]

Thank you for pointing out the brackets. I was gonna fall down a rabbit hole when I saw you holding it up.. Reading the comments you really don't miss a beat. 👏 You really are amazing.. ❤

[@AmyBlack1206]

Quick note Jen. I bought that Versed milk serum stuff. OMG, girl, that stuff is no joke. I can’t believe how lovely my skin is!! Also the Eucerin Q-anti-aging cream. Not sure what my next product will be but I can’t wait to try something else!😊

[@JenPhelps]

Aw that's awesome!! So glad you're loving them too! 🥰❤️

[@maryeckel9682]

No joke, that Eucerin cream is a game changer.

[@AmyBlack1206]

@@maryeckel9682 oh, the Versed milk serum w it is even nicer!! I hate the pump but I just remove that and just place cotton round on top of opening and pour some out. I find the pumper just splashed product out. But the product is wonderful!!! The 2 products together is amazing!!

[@LenaSheppard]

This was so fun and got me more excited about holiday releases. Ohmyword the last palette!! So swooning!! Thanks for sharing these. I can't wait to see more. I appreciate you being here for us !

[@paulahardin6002]

I really love that you give us detailed reviews and try on the products. I would give your video 1,000 thumbs up if I could.

[@michellebarak3873]

As far as duochrome type liquid eyeshadow goes, I think I'll stick to Moira and Colorpop. Their formulas are excellent and basically the same price as ELF's. ELF prices just seem to be climbing without much of an increase in quality. Too bad... I always love your videos and how honest your reviews are!

[@exomake_mehorololo]

Yay for the WetnWild 🎉😊 berry scent sounds fun to me. I love the colours

[@valerietodd2024]

adore your makeup in this video! really goes well together. your reviews are some i trust the most ❤

[@20thcenturyrelic]

Hi Jen, thanks for the video! Sounds like the Wet N Wild and LA Girl holiday products are kind of hit or miss. I have to admit, the teenage girl in me got pretty excited about that NYX lip gloss set! But they're scented, so that's a hard pass for me. And wow, that Cloud 9 palette is pretty! It reminds me of the Xenon palette although as you pointed out, with fewer silvery colors. It also reminded me of the new Pretty Grunge palette although it doesn't have the warmer neutral or peachy shades. Or a matte pink. But for only $18, it looks like it would be a better value for a cool toned palette. ( I mean, better than the Xenon or the Pretty Grunge.)

[@JenPhelps]

Absolutely! I think it's more wearable than Xenon and more cool toned than Pretty Grunge. 🥰

[@l.c.8798]

I've seen all of this stuff in stores, and I was wondering about it all! The packaging is so cute 😄

[@Reiliferei]

this whole look is so pretty! really brings out your eyes

[@beckymyers9528]

I've been curious about the Elf glosses. Thank you for the always honest reviews❤

[@JenPhelps]

They're a really nice formula...I wish I didn't react to them because I'd be wearing them all the time!

[@20thcenturyrelic]

@@JenPhelps I looked at the ingredients list for the lip glosses, and it only says "fragrance," so we don't know exactly what it is. But since you say it's minty, I'd guess it's menthol or something related to it. That's an ingredient that can be very irritating to the lips. And to the skin too. I had a nasty experience about 30 years ago with a heavily scented drugstore lipstick, which is why I'm now fanatical about avoiding scented and flavored lip products. I broke out in a rash on my lips, and they peeled for 2 weeks!!! I can't remember exactly what the product was, but I'm sure it was discontinued long ago.

[@Observette]

That colorpop Cloud 9 palette looks beautiful!

[@BrendaBostonGirl]

Thank you for always mentioning if there is fragrance and how strong it is. I’m not allergic but not a fan, especially of food/sweet smells in makeup, so I much appreciate the heads up.

[@veroniquezerbib8104]

I have exactly the same experience as you do with the elf lip oils. First I really don't like the smell which is very artificial (and doesn't smell mint to me, just chemical), but I really like how it looks on my lips so I was ok to tolerate the smell because of the results. But like you, my lips quickly started to be very dry and uncomfortable. That's very unfortunate because I do love the look. So I use my Clarins lip oil first and then the elf on top for the style and color.

[@melissamarcelloni9012]

A few thoughts....I went for the Colorpop Rudolph re-release over the Wet n Wild palettes because the green in that palette is matte and felt the wet n wild ones were too glittery. I've been really happy with the Rudolph. I think you are definitely reacting to the Elf lip oil. I don't feel any tingle or numbness with those at all...just a slight menthol feeling. I honestly think these are a repackage of their old lip oil formula. I used to be obsessed with the purple one, but those all got discontinued and the feel of these on my lips are pretty well identical, except the slight minty feeling. To me, they feel light a straight up gloss because they're a bit thicker, but I do think they are pretty!

[@HanaKotoba21]

I was so excited about the elf lip oils until I heard they have the mint scent. I hate mint in my lip products.

[@JenPhelps]

Yes it's crazy how behind the times the US is when it comes to cosmetic regulations. There have been lawsuits where people sued companies (HUDA Beauty is one of them) for putting "unsafe" eyeshadows in palettes. It's frustrating because they're not unsafe but these lawsuits actually win against the companies here...it's crazy!

[@bethlabecki1416]

I too reacted to the elf gloss. I took them back.

[@monicam48]

Thank you for such a fun review of all the new products Jen! I am super excited and can not wait to see the reviews on all the new Revlon products, I hope they have staying power and don't disappear after a couple of hours. Will you do a wear test please to see how they last and look throughout the day and also show us in real light how it looks? I have an idea, you could try these new Revlon products with one side of your face wearing the Revlon illuminance foundation and on the other side of your face you can try them on top of Revlon color stay full coverage foundation for dry skin? That way we can see how these new Revlon products play with serum foundation and regular foundation for? Thank you Jen for always having an honest opinion and staying true to yourself and your internet fam, I'm interested in trying those wet n wild blushes if I can find them and not sold out lol. ❤

I always love these reviews - they're so well thought out and helpful. In seeing the Cloud 9 palette, it's giving some Stone Cold Fox vibes. It got me thinking - is there a 9-12 pan palette that you'd consider a 'mini fox'? (ETA: I saw your Stone Cold Fox video comparing to a few other CP palettes... so helpful!)

[@R.L.Maverick]

Thank you for all the time you have taken for this video! I absolutely love the new NYX palettes!!! I just purchased the NYX Christmas palette and haven’t received it yet. I can’t wait to try it but am a little disappointed that they don’t sound as opaque. Hopefully I can build a matte underneath to get better color payoff. Also, is it just me or so the WNW Christmas palettes just look like their regular shades in the newer 5-10 shade palettes just scrambled and pink added?
