Not Amanda coming at us with actually helpful, detailed, not-widely-known info about ingredient lists!! This is why I love your content. Also, it irritates me to high heaven that anyone would comment telling you to get lip filler. Your lips are beautiful. And are they offering to pay for it, are they the ones who are going to endure the pain?? I don't think so!!

[@morgantaylor517]

As a fellow thin lipped person I always think how pretty Amanda looks with her lips just the way they are. Kendall Jenner looked great too until she started getting fillers and tweaks. Catherine Princess of Wales is another gorgeous woman with thinish lips. The plumped up filled lips trend is making everyone look the same, like Stepford robots.

[@PodieM18]

Agree Amanda has lovely shaped lips, they also really suit her other features and match her understated, classy, natural look - she's got that Parisian chic style, love it....

[@LovetoLearn16]

Anyone telling someone to get a procedure done needs to take a step back and go touch some grass

[@simplyellenxo95]

Same here! I also love Amanda for that same exact reason! Thanks for your comment! 😘

[@RaelNikolaidis]

Yes! I just love Amanda. She exudes sincerity. ❤

[@Sofia-mi9ck]

You are so good at what you do! You are fantastic at describing things right down to the subtleties that others usually don’t pick up on. You’re always so genuine and I never feel like you’re trying to sell me a product or just giving in to the hype. It’s a treat to watch your videos. And I’ve never seen someone wear a red lip better!

[@CuidadalLago]

You got to 100k 🎉 congratulations! Well deserved!

[@kathleenp3135]

Amanda, Your reviews are the most articulate and detailed available on you tube. It’s really impressive especially for someone in your age bracket. This video was another fantastic one. Thanks as always!

[@taylordanielson9632]

I tried to put this video on in the background while i was cleaning and cooking but I ended up standing at the kitchen island glued to the screen 😂 just too much helpful interesting and detailed information, and every product was one that I have been deeply interested in. We love you amanda! Congrats on 100k

[@glaciergang]

Thank you so much for showing your real skin in the closeup it is so helpful

[@MajaHuse]

I think MAC face & body is identical to the Chanel (I have used both regularly), except the MAC is much cheaper and doesn't require a special brush 👌

[@saragray1453]

Your earrings are so unique. I love the combination of those two styles. 😊

[@deborahanderson1686]

Thank you for bringing us so much valuable information! You clearly take a LOT of time to put your videos together…just wanted to let you know how much I love and appreciate all your hard work! You do a fantastic job!

[@MyCleverHandle]

Well People is owned by Elf. So it makes sense that they would jump on the lip oil wagon. I would compare WP's ingredients with Elf's. Love the video!

[@kamillaluv86]

Just discovered your channel by chance looking for Natasha Denona I need a nude palette, and I am so happy I did! Immediate subscribe 🙌🙌🙌

[@Holly_77]

Where are your earrings from?

[@smilodon87]

Amanda, nob😂ody applies foundation on camera nearly as well as you. I also appreciate how intelligently you speak - thank you. More relevant to this video, I recently acquired the CG Essence and it is GORGEOUS. I'm 54 with staight up normal skin.

[@jennifarfar]

I was SO excited for the Summer Fridays lip oils! Buuut... I had the same reaction of being underwhelmed. I thought it would have a more translucency to it, but 3 out of 4 colors were wayyy too pigmented. Which wouldn't be a bad thing if it didn't immediately travel out of the lip lines. It's more of a liquid lip balm than an oil. It's basically the Milani lip oils, but over twice as much, feels .5% thinner, and has too much pigment for something I put on without a mirror.

[@veronicalim1676]

i hope you feel better soon amanda, sending you all my positive vibes and best wishes. ive been a sub for years and i love your splurge or save videos, they have guided me to good purschases many times. your job when duping things are so comprehensive and thats the way they should be i think. would love to see a glossy balm video with only products in a solid form, i love the ct happikiss and are on a hunt for a dupe, since i live in norway we cant barely get anything without paying our weight in customs and im pretty large hehe. loved your video and hope you are having a great week and day, and are safe and well now. love ya

[@simplyellenxo95]

You can totally tell how much Amanda has done the research. Thank you for your hard work! 👏💯

[@kelliebennett9932]

Always love your honesty. Thank you for all your content!!!

[@brigitte9999]

I’ve had the old CG lipstain for over 5 years. I found it on Amazon after it was discontinued. It still works great!

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Amanda or Not Amanda exudes sincerity and competence and recommends the best things.

[@tracevicente]

Thank you for the feedback on the Tarte concealer. I like their products (esp their lip products) but have mature and hollow under-eyes.

[@user-hv3fk8go3e]

❤❤❤Thanks for the excellent reviews. You always give such detailed reviews. I did try the covergirl and liked it the first time I used it but it never looked right again, was super patchy no matterwhatsunscreenand primers I tried. I literally just got home from returning it. I think I will stick with my Fenty eaze drops.

[@patsyroyal]

Thanks for some great reviews! They are always such a helpful resource when I want to know whether a purchase would make sense for me.

[@StyleStaryvonne]

hi! Are lip oils meant to be "slippery/oily" or not? I've tried the dior lip oil which is very thick and cushiony (which I prefer because it lasts on the lips longer!) compared to the merit shade slicks which are super thin (not my thing)! I feel like brands just slap on the name of "lip oil"

[@Abi-cv9vk]

Love your content so much❤

[@AmandaZ]

Thank you so much for being here !!

[@Holly_77]

@@AmandaZWhere are your earrings from? Love them!

[@candiceallred]

Love your earrings!! Where are they both from, if you don’t mind me asking?!? Thx

[@janicestewart8291]

Thank you so much for this information

[@kateaye3506]

You can get a medium coverage with the Chanel Eau de Teint. My lovely, sweet Chanel SA didn't have my usual medium in stock, so she loaded me up with 6 pumps of the light medium. It was medium coverage! She stamped it into my skin and it freaked me out at how much coverage it gave with her method. I'd love to see the Covergirl fairly matched to the Water Fresh Complexion Touch instead. I think that would give a better indication of comparison. No product I've tried is anywhere a dupe for the Eau de Teint. I'll keep a bottle of the Eau de Teint with me always. And I only use two pumps and brush it in. I buy the EdT for the sheer coverage I want. 😂

[@fussbrain9161]

I want someone to review the cover girl + olay pot foundation, it matched my skin perfectly and looks so natural

[@carlagigglypoo8782]

Love your deep dives! You are amazing

[@PetraLilith675]

Wells People is expensive too for what you are getting and the makeup products aren’t that good but their charcoal powder exfoliant is amazing and a tiny bit goes a long way.

[@sufiharvy7063]

Have you tried the liquid eyeshadow (also a cute paint tube) from Rabanne? Would be interesting.

[@maryarmstrong2231]

Yes! This is the one I have been longing for❤

[@ering7530]

Thank you.

[@miamor4374]

Dear Amanda, thank you for bringing us such wonderful and helpful content! If you don't mind me asking, would you recommend Romand Glasting Water Tint or some other formula as a lip stain in general (not just for lining the lips) over the Stila and Covergirl one?

[@traciecashi]

100k !!! Great job, Amanda ❤

[@diydealz503]

Congrats on 100K!!! 🎊

[@katlynblom9018]

Was it covergirl or revlon I remember buying a stain pen like this from revlon years ago, just bitten or something. I’m glad they are trending I’ve always loved a lip stain.

[@claireplauche7724]

Love you dear! I get upset with products when they're mostly water and the money i spend is enough to impact a utility bill. Personally, I think those big fashion houses can suc it when it comes to makeup. Kudos for the bukuchiol attempt, but it's a cash grab. I'm out, but thanks for your lovely influence in the makeup world!❤️

[@andrezzamendes1219]

Great explanation and comparisions ❤

[@drowsyfawn]

I’m very intrigued by the Cover Girl! Do you think the light-medium has neutral undertones, or leans warm / cool at all?

[@thewordonbeauty]

I just bought this shade and I think it is neutral leaning cool.

[@moonfirepz]

You did a great job on this video ! Ty

[@blendofdays]

Thank you Amanda!

[@sambeck33]

Can you compare the Tarte Shape Tape Ultra Creamy with the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer?

[@PodieM18]

Amanda do you mind me asking what mascara you are wearing in this video. You have absolutely gorgeous eyelashes.....

[@VMDEWBeauty]

so cool 😎

[@RaelNikolaidis]

I want a lip oil that’s plushy and fills in lip lines and that doesn’t slip out over the lip line. Any suggestions?

[@marion8354]

Hey Amanda, I hope you read this. I found pretty good dupe for the refi lip blush. It's new from wetn wild. I know, but hear me out. It's called soft blur. They're 6.99 at cvs and I already bought 3 colors. I'm going back to get the last 2. They're so nice. You can wear the color really soft or you can build it up. I have heard nobody talking about these. See if you can find them. Let us know what you think ❤

[@TamaraK93]

I wish the rms eyelights would have a better packaging... Mine broke after one use... The lid just broke, so i couldnt close it properly and it became very dry

[@tanyaevers-jordan8624]

I know this is a huge ask, but do you know of any lip oils on the market that do NOT contain almond or avocado oils? I really want the thin and moisturizing comfort to my lips, but severe allergies scare me from trying lip oils.

[@thepeachyplace]

Which brush were you using to apply? Looks nice 😊

[@Holly_77]

Hourglass

[@5joanner]

Hi Amanda! I'm sure tens of thousands of people bought the Natasha Denona I Need A Nude palette. I bought it based on your rave reviews. I am so disappointed in it! So bummed that I paid so Much for it. Could you possibly show some looks to do with this palette? I haven't found any shades that look wet after application like you described. Could you please elaborate on which shades?

[@midlifemom5829]

Im 55 yo and wont do denatured alcohol in makeup. I dont need a drying ingredient to bring out more texture on my mature skin

[@amandaleigh3307]

Pretty sure ELF owns Well People now, just get the ELF lip oils for $7. They’re way better ❤

[@julietmoore166]

In terms of cover girl foundation, was mine the only one that stinks like gorilla glue. Didn’t see anyone mentions it.

[@HolaMindy]

I saw a comment on another person's video that said theirs smells like paint thinner. 🤷‍♀️

[@jillvirchis1075]

I thought the Covergirl Essence had a lot of alcohol in it

[@cindicleee]

❤️❤️

[@arianalunsford836]

I was not impressed with summer Fridays lip oils. Disappeared quick on my lips .

[@miac6262]

What?! That cover girl is nothing like Chanel . Wow

[@moshimoshiumeboshi]

Yeesh. I had a really bad reaction to a product with baukuchiol (but have never had a reaction with another retinoid/retinol) so the Covergirl one is out for me 🥲

[@AmandaZ]

oh no!! so frustrating i dont think the baukchiol is necessary at all

[@thebeatles170]

The best lip oil I’ve tried is the Inn Beauty Project lip oil❤I really want to try the Rituel de Fille one though!!

[@tianiortiz8529]
