[@m.c.8680]

You didnt mention the eyeshadow at the end. But i think it still looks pretty good ?

[@slashedbeauty]

OOPS LOL I accidentally deleted that clip!! I did mention it when I was filming. It definitely still looked good on top of the primer. No creasing or patchiness!!

[@m.c.8680]

@@slashedbeauty looks like that'll b my xmas gift to myself...lol

[@LydiaTarine12]

Revlon has a gorgeous baked highlighter you should try if you haven’t already. They also have a bronzer in that formula that is surprisingly good despite the glow.

[@slashedbeauty]

Is it the skin lights highlighter you’re talking about? I feel like I may have tried it ages ago!

[@LydiaTarine12]

@ Yes, I am fairly new to your channel, so I don’t have a sense of what you may have tried before and it kinda flies a little below the radar since it is Revlon and it isn’t new.

[@slashedbeauty]

@@LydiaTarine12 Of course! I just wasn't sure if there was a new one from them that I missed!! I went back in my archives (lol) and the Revlon one a bit more shimmery/glittery than the highlight in this video but still so pretty!

[@nenawells3916]

I love the neat, lightweight flat packaging of this brand. It's so travel friendly. I can't stand makeup products that are bulky and awkwardly shaped so they don't fit into your makeup bag. I can't wait to try this brand, if it's in stores where I live. I love the beautiful colours in the eyeshadow palette. You created a gorgeous eyelook. Love it.

[@slashedbeauty]

Thanks so much! I do appreciate slim packaging as well but I worry about the cardboard/flexible plastic parts while traveling 🤔

[@emmy6287]

Thanks for reviewing Pretty Smart. I love their lip oil-- just make sure to follow instructions & shake tube before each use. Can't wait to try their eyeshadow

[@slashedbeauty]

Ooh thank you for that note!! It did feel really nice and lightweight.

[@chrisrogers8033]

Miranda, I love your channel, always look forward to the next video! Love your down to earth personality and unique content. So underrated-you are my go-to.

[@slashedbeauty]

Thanks so much, that’s kind of you to say!!

[@taraedwards1892]

I'm excited to see if this formula is like the balm, I need to just go buy some 😆.

[@slashedbeauty]

I went back into my old reviews of the Balm eyeshadow, and the pigmentation is veryyyyy similar but theBalm had a lot of kickup in the pan and Pretty Smart doesn't. So slightly stiffer of a formula but similar color payoff!

[@The_Viking_Highlander]

Hi Miranda. I subscribed a couple of weeks ago because you are so very down to earth and relatable. Beauty channels on YT have become predictable and repetitive. Most influencers look and sound the same, all parroting the same trending influencer lingo, like the over use of 'you guys'' and 'obsessed'. Whilst you are uniquely you and I love that. By the way, some less derrogatory terms for 'crepey' skin are 'mature', or 'textured'. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the UK. Anna x

[@slashedbeauty]

Thanks so much, this means a lot!!! I appreciate the kind words and support ❤️ happy holidays to you too!

[@taraedwards1892]

I get so excited every time I see one of your videos pop up. May God bless 💙💙

[@slashedbeauty]

Thank you Tara! Happy holidays!

[@innibaybee5484]

I think the foundation goes pretty well with your complexion 👍🥰. Def gonna give these products a try, thank you 💜

[@slashedbeauty]

I feel like my skin shade changes SO drastically throughout the year as well which can make it difficult to choose shades. I'm going to see how the Light Cool looks next! Thanks so much for watching 🥰 and happy holidays!!

[@innibaybee5484]

@slashedbeauty Same here..sometimes find myself mixing light & warm foundation to match my skin. Happy Holidays to you too 🥰🎉

[@adinahorowitz2732]

Thank you for this review ive been hesitant to try this brand because the packaging was pretty cheap looking but now im excited to try it 😁

[@slashedbeauty]

That’s exactly why it took me so long to try the brand myself 🙈 so I was pleasantly surprised!

[@jenniferlancaster990]

Thanks for the review! I’m attracted to the cruelty free and talc free vibe (and vegan is a plus too.) I really like Pacifica’s makeup since it follows the same trend but they are higher priced and the makeup they have available is limited. I haven’t heard of this brand but now I am interested. Love your channel!

[@slashedbeauty]

I've only tried a few things from Pacifica, it does seem like they lean more into skin care than makeup lately! Thanks so much for watching, Jennifer!

[@CherrieWells]

Than you for the review of this product line! I've seen it in my Walmart but just was reluctant to try it. I just picked up their powder while I was listening to this video! Thank you!!

[@slashedbeauty]

So glad you picked something new up, I hope you like it and explore the brand even more!

[@spark_6710]

The colour's range ( foundation ) is amazing for the drugstore brand !!👍👍

[@slashedbeauty]

I totally agree!

[@spark_6710]

The powder highliter is another hit !!! Another must buy !!And the powder foundation also another must buy from them !!! 😮😍

[@slashedbeauty]

I think they really nailed the formula!

[@autumnspringer1043]

The liquid lipstick is amazing too and it surprisingly holds up through Food and drinks really well. I'm planning on buying a few more.

[@slashedbeauty]

How does it feel?? Is it dry/matte?

[@jeanniesmith3705]

I have some of their products. My favorites are the face palette in 060 and a liquid lipstick in the shade Secure. I can do almost my whole face with the palette. Merry Christmas to you and your family ❤

[@slashedbeauty]

The face palette looks awesome to cover a lot of steps!! Thanks so much Jeannie, happy holidays!!

[@m.c.8680]

great🎉 its pretty, think that'll be my xmas to self

[@natalierussoniello6250]

Great review of this brand! Thank you

[@slashedbeauty]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 😊 Thanks for watching!

[@misskeriberi]

Hi, my lovely. Always eager to watch your videos. I have a little tip for retaining lash curl after mascara without using curlers….I use a finger to gently press them up for a few secs as they finish drying. Hope this helps. 😍

[@slashedbeauty]

oo thank you for that tip! So you basically hold them in place? or you push up the very ends?

[@misskeriberi]

I press the underside of my finger against the length of my lashline and look downwards at the same time. Am interested if this works for you. X

[@spark_6710]

Congrats on your 113K subscribers 👏 👏👏

[@slashedbeauty]

Aw thank you so much for your support!!

[@spark_6710]

OMG !! That eyeshadow palette is a must buy 😍 ✨️👍👍👍MADE IN 🇺🇸!! YAY !!! 🎶

[@slashedbeauty]

Yes! Such silky formulas!!

[@OnlyStudy-k9s]

I want 100% waterproof compact powder which works like powder Foundation plzzzz suggest me affordable one. And When I cry it’s does not transferrer that type of compact powder I want sis 😭😭😭😭 Does not look grey or patchy

[@slashedbeauty]

Sounds like the best fit would be L'Oreal Infallible Powder!

[@ilamprecht7921]

I say my eyelids are creepy because they are creeping down my face already 😂

[@slashedbeauty]

HAHAAH stop 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@spark_6710]

Oh.no~!! Please be careful !! I just watched another KZbinr's video & she also said that she poked her eye a couple of times with a mascara spoolie !!😨🥶

[@slashedbeauty]

It was painful but luckily it healed quickly!

[@natalierussoniello6250]

The eyeshadow still looks great after 7 hours

[@slashedbeauty]

Yes!! Paired with this primer it didn't fade or crease at all!

[@natalierussoniello6250]

@ I have been looking for a soft, deep purple. I think I am going to get that quad. 🥰

[@slashedbeauty]

@@natalierussoniello6250 Yes, it's perfect for a hint of purple without being too bright!

[@natalierussoniello6250]

@ I love that! Purples can be overpowering, just a hint is perfect. Merry Christmas!

[@irmaradinson2320]

Mascara is water proof? Probably you mentioned it alteady 😅

[@slashedbeauty]

They have some water proof versions but this particular tube isn’t!

[@spark_6710]

Yay ! This is And all under $10 !!fabulous 👌 vegan & talc free !!! 😍👍👍👍✨️💜🥁🐲🎤🎶🎄🎉🎈💕🎈💞

[@slashedbeauty]

yes!! a rare find!

[@4bratkab565]

Thank you Miranda for trying new Vegan and cruelty free brand ..but silicone in primer don't sounds great😅 I like the highlighter and blush like you choose ❤😍🤗 The makeup look good, especially the eyeshadows on you 🤗😍🤩Happy Holidays🤗😍🌲🤶🎅❤❤❤ Merry Christmas to you Miranda and all viewers 🤗Love your videos!

[@slashedbeauty]

A lot of popular primers have silicone in it for the smoothing/pore filling effect (same with foundations!) It's a preference though-- some people with sensitive skin prefer silicone free. I don't mind it, and this is still a less thick primer so it was lightweight!! I hope you find some good vegan goodies from this brand, I know you love finding affordable cruelty free and vegan options! BTW I am so appreciative of how much you watch and comment-- even when some of the products I talk about don't match your preferences. Though I can't tell from your username what your first name is, if you don't mind sharing so I can address you properly 🥰 happy holidays!!

[@monicapatton1405]

Not exaggerating texture on the eyelid.

[@slashedbeauty]

Straightforward! I like it.

[@liana2136]

Interesting line of makeup, but I'm wondering about the sunflower seed oil. I know seed oils are considered unhealthful in the diet, but maybe the extraction process is different for cosmetics, so therefore not so bad?

[@slashedbeauty]

A lot of seed oils are used in skin care I love, like jojoba seed oil etc. I've had a few products with sunflower seed oil that are very conditioning. I'm assuming the recommendation of consuming them vs applying as a moisturizing ingredient are different :)

[@liana2136]

​@@slashedbeautyThanks for your quick reply, Miranda. I'm trying to stay clean with my cosmetics and still have much to learn. I have used jojoba oil and have found cold-pressed at healthfood stores. Just trying to avoid solvents in my diet and skincare. I checked more of the ingredients in this brand, and noticed talc is listed for one of the palettes. Otherwise not bad, but I'm still researching the seed oil question. Thanks for your channel and helping us stay within our budgets. 💕 😊

[@slashedbeauty]

Which palette listed talc? They say the whole brand is talc free to my knowledge so I'd definitely want to figure out if it's a mistake or not!

[@liana2136]

​​@@slashedbeautySorry for any confusion. As I mentioned on another thread, a chemist did a review on IG saying the all-in-one contains talc. Maybe it was reformulated since then. Worth looking up her review bc she mentions some other questionable ingredients. I deleted my talc comments because I don't know for sure about that... I apologize for causing any upset. 💕

[@slashedbeauty]

@@liana2136 I just checked the ingredients and there's no talc listed, so perhaps she was mistaken.

[@Billlieandbelllieves]

I love watching your videos but it seems like lately they just fall flat. They seem quite uninspired and hollow. The content just isn’t interesting enough. I know you want to do good but I’m sorry, no one cares about these small indie brands that are hard to get a hold of. The last good video you uploaded was the “trying 2024 fall trends videos” and it shows um views and engagement. Please post more approachable looks, most of us don’t want to look like clowns at the office.

[@slashedbeauty]

A little confused by your comment, because this is a new Walmart brand that’s both in stores and online, not an “indie brand hard to get a hold of.” I literally show it on shelves in the first minute of the video. Will have to agree to disagree that this look is “clown like” and unapproachable… I personally love this wearable, soft purple palette! I appreciate your continued support, even if not every video will be your cup of tea 🙂

[@slashedbeauty]

Also I do appreciate the feedback to help plan future content, the first part of your comment just threw me off since this brand doesn’t fit what you wrote.
