SO Many New Drugstore Skincare Finds OMG! Reviewing New Drugstore Skincare 2023

[@nikki2370]

Hi Abbey! You're literally making me want to shop drugstore with all this drugstore content And I'm loving it. Thanks!!

[@AbbeyYung]

I love the drugstore 😍

[@daisyjohnson7588]

I so appreciate how you show us the application process on the products. Especially for something like a makeup remover seeing is definitely believing on how effective it really is! And for the sunscreens descriptions like dewy and glowy give me a general idea of what I'd be interested in, or not, but getting to see how it sits on your skin is so so helpful for deciding if that's a product I'd enjoy

[@FayeCNL]

The ordinary can do no wrong in my opinion and despite everything I've ever tried to get rid of deep lip lines the ordinary retinol 0.5% rubbed onto the lines every night for a week has been an absolute game changer.

[@pasta_girl]

That’s wild. The only things I tried from them was their oat cleanser and make up remover and they both sucked! Complete opposite experience for me lol

[@FayeCNL]

@@pasta_girl I've used the squalene cleanser and it was a weird experience lol I won't lie but it was okay. You are quite right some people do get on well with it and others don't its definitely one of those brands

[@pasta_girl]

@@FayeCNL ok glad it wasn't just me. Actually, you might have convinced me to try their retinol once I can use it after I finish Accutane :) maybe just their cleansers are not it.

[@FayeCNL]

@@pasta_girl you might well be right😊 good luck with finding the right products, research is everything 😊

[@pasta_girl]

@@FayeCNL ty!! :)

[@AngelaSmith-zt3fc]

Thanks Abbey! So appreciate that you try new products on our behalf 😊

[@kripagressel8417]

In terms of aluminum packaging for creams like that, the best way to avoid the "spluge" when opening is to tap the other end on the table/counter, and it will settle below the spout part of the tube. I am so excited for this Bliss product - I'm not anti-silicones by any means, but I find dimethicone to be too heavy for my skin where I live most of the year in South India, so I am always looking for great moisturizers without it. This and Rovectin are on my list for the next time I visit the US.

[@stephanieweingarten7934]

That new TO moisturizer (gel) sounds really interesting. My oily skin might like it.

[@rosej9686]

YES! Asian sunscreens are the bomb! ❤

[@gavinhighberger3212]

"Nailed it" yes you did queen!! I love your videos so much.

[@reesea7988]

The ordinary NMF 1 is my new FAVE for nighttime. I am very dry and it’s just so perfect

[@gimmeproof]

ok, LOVE the pic with the curlers. just love the honesty.

[@BulbinABox]

That’s why I subscribed to your channel 2 years ago, you explain things in a way we can totally relate. 🥰🥰 thank you Abbey

[@JessicaSmithPhD]

I love that Byoma facial spray but I hate the mister. It does not release a fine mist; instead, the droplets are huge. And you think you’ve directed the spray in one area but it hits in a different area. So I started spraying it in my palms and patting it on my skin like an essence.

[@shelbyvlasaty3446]

My BYOMA milky oil cleanser looks EXACTLY the same! I actually really like it for my face but the eye makeup is definitely a challenge 😂

[@Kat-mf7mt]

I have super dry skin so I'm looking forward to picking up the new Ordinary NMF1!

[@AntonandSinan]

Geek & Gorgeous is absolutely amazing! One of my favourites.

[@talaaa2897]

1:09 Abbey you should definitely try out the mad hippie cream cleanser! I think you’ll like it

[@dizzylizzy8822]

I envy your skin! My rosacea is flaring from just reading the ingredients 😂

[@mignonalverson2475]

Same!

[@Christine-lo1uw]

I’m an aspiring KZbinr and I LOVE the lighting in your videos! What do you use to film? THANKS 🙏

[@saisha_rae]

Hi Abbey, have you found a dupe for the dermalogica intense moisturizer? I absolutely LOVE it but it's so expensive 😩 it's the only moisturizer that actually sinks into my skin. Everything else I can literally feel wash off the next morning!

[@lizcademy4809]

I just placed my first G&G order! C-Glow, A-Game 10, and Jelly Joker. Shipping is free to the USA if you spend more than 60 Euros; 9 Euros if you spend more than 30 Euros. [They work only in Euros, your credit card company will do the conversion.] It sounds like a lot, but a) they use a very fast shipping method, B) their prices are so low, even with the shipping, it's a bargain. For example, the A-Game 10 is replacing a tube of Medik8 Crystal Retinal. The Medik8 cost over $100 ... my total G&G order, including shipping, was about $42.

[@tehmaimed]

The best mineral SPF i've ever used is the Summer Fridays one. Not sure if you consider it "tinted" since it has caramel as a coloring agent to mask the white cast, but it doesn't tint skin at all. It also lacks the pastiness or mattifying effect most mineral SPFs have as well. If I weren't to read the INCI I would think it's either a purely chemical SPF, or at least, a mixed one. Amazing formulation! Too bad it's pretty expensive and not a drugstore product. You can't have it all, I guess.

[@bettytsang]

I had EXACTLY the same experience and thoughts as you with the BYOMA spf and I'm so glad I'm not alone!! So much potential, so much disappointment... I now use it on my hands, neck, and ears and it seems to behave in those places- not my face though.

[@LauraLVTGW]

Not drug store but..... Lisa Eldridge just launched two fragrance free skincare products. I bought the cleanser/treatment after watching her KZbin video. It took off all my makeup including waterproof mascara. Then used it as a "treatment". I kept it on for about 5 minutes & did a relaxing massage. After rinsing off, I didn't have to apply toner right away on my dry skin. I would love your opinion. Many blessings!💖💖💖

[@BlingyBea]

I wonder why folks are not reviewing her cleanser, I have not bought it yet.

[@Xshynenstarx]

Probably because it’s very expensive. And I love Lisa’s products, but while I can justify the costs of lipsticks and eyeshadows, the cleanser is harder for me to pull the trigger on

[@BlingyBea]

@@Xshynenstarx I hear you on the cost initially but if you get 200 blueberries (like she said in her video) then that tube should last around 6 months? I use the Farmacy cleansing balm and it cost $36 and last me about 2 1/2 months. I need to at least try it.💓

[@Wendelia]

Thank you! I’ve put some in my carts 😊

[@jamiel264]

Tap the bottom of the bliss bottle on a hard surface before opening.

[@shannadarrah1525]

Love your recommendations. You’re awesome ❤

[@gabriela.alekseeva]

I just placed an order with the Geek and Gorgeous and was looking forward to order the new balm just to find out it was already sold out. And you get a free shipping to US if you spend 60 EUR which is around $62

[@xlaughing]

The innbeauty slushy serum moisturizer also has hydrogenated vegetable oil as one of the top ingredients, I have wondered about that too! I love the innbeauty product as a hydrating serum though, state of kait always talks about it and got me to buy it!

[@KoriThompson-p3j]

I live in Canada and I can get Geek and Gorgeous sent to me for a decent shipping fee. Also LOVED how you did the cleansing balm on the one side of your face. Love watching you!

[@nnoemi_]

I'm from Hungary and so happy I'm seing hungarian brands you love

[@FierceGinger]

I really like Byoma products so far, I’ve only tried the cleansing balm, the hydrating serum, and the moisturizing gel cream. I don’t mind the cleansing balm smell at all, it’s actually quite pleasant to me, but to each their own. I really love how glowing my skin is afterwards from each product. I think my favorite is a toss up between the cleansing balm and the hydrating serum. I’m obsessed with serums, but it’s really good, and has no scent, and my skin honestly does feel, as it claims, hydrated afterwards. The isn’t a smell to the gel cream. It’s not bad. Honestly, besides the serum, and cleansing balm, I feel like their other products, you aren’t really getting that much for the price, you’ll know as soon as you lift one of the products off the shelf, they feel like the weight is all in the packaging, and it’s hollow inside, not containing much. I’m other words it’s very light. It may not seem like a lot of money, but when you buy more than four products, it really begins to add up, just like any product nowadays tbh. I really love their designs and the ingredients and the packaging shows what each ingredient is added for. It’s everything I want in a product and will definitely be buying more of their products in the future, but maybe not the spf, I like getting more product for my buck, every time I go for it and pick it up I look at the price and feel the weight I end up putting it back. The serums tho, hehe, I’ll be back for those babies!

[@gabbiemartin3091]

The G&G cleansing balm is out of stock due to material shortages for their packaging. They aren’t expecting to have it back in stock until June. I’m dying to try it after hearing your review!!

[@gabbiemartin3091]

Also, ty for the honesty on the Byoma sunscreen cause I almost bought it yesterday. And I already have a huge issue with products pilling on me because nothing sinks in. So ty for saving my coin!

[@amandaathy2561]

Charlotte Palermino has a whole thing about preventing the spruge from those type of tubes. might be worth a go.

[@victoriasims9199]

I’ve been trying the Byoma clarifying serum and also their creamy moisturiser and I’m LOVING both ❤

[@janb9668]

The new bliss spf looks great. I can not wear chemical sunscreen with out getting an allergic reaction I have tried the other bliss spf 30 but 50 is more what I look for. Thanks for testing this one 🇨🇦😃

[@pasta_girl]

I just saw the Byoma melting balm, and I didn’t even think to smell it! My nose is so bad I didn’t smell anything off the bat 😂 I ended up passing because I thought after some time the packaging would get annoying with the big bulky cube design every time I want to open and close it

[@gretaloop9305]

I think you could always recommend the minersl sunscreens mixed with it cosmetics bye bye foundation spf50 all mineral to get the exact color you want

[@grespinosa]

Good suggestion, also when I use my mineral sunscreen I blend a couple drops of liquid bronzer on top to eliminate the white cast. ☺️

[@eobrien1]

Its a nice idea, but you aren’t supposed to mix sunscreen formulas with anything since they’re spf tested with exactly that formula. Adding anything could compromise your UV protection. There are some lines like Ilia and Colorscience that have tinted mineral spf that are safe to do this worth tho (since you’re only mixing up the same sunscreens with different tints)!

[@simoneclarke5104]

I am interested in trying the Bliss moisturizer, but would just empty the whole tube into a more usable container (jar maybe).

[@Alibaba0301]

The new Ordinary cream cleanser sounds amazing! Do you think it would be Accutane friendly? Thanks for the great video as always 💕

[@leilapaytas4789]

Geek & Gorgeous has $20 shipping though so it isn’t technically an affordable brand. You have to spend so much to get free shipping. I was in the UK recently and got free shipping. I love the Jelly Joker cleanser it’s amazing but can’t see myself repurchasing in the US because of the shipping

thanks for calling out the rosemary oil (which triggers my rosacea) and the fragrance (all kinds of sensitivities).

[@juhnetmickerdy]

I love the smell of rosemary oil. I literally have a bottle of it in my room and I love to diffuse it, so I bought the milky oil cleanser, thinking I was going to fall in love with the scent but mine smell like straight up olive oil 😂 definitely disappointed, but I still like it!

[@juhnetmickerdy]

After using the oil cleanser, I actually want to post a second comment and say that you actually just have to make sure the top is on the correct way. There’s a specific way to put it on, it’s not broken. 👍

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

I just got the new Ordinary cream cleanser and the NMF + Beta Glucan. I haven't tried the cleanser yet, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it. I'm excited about the gel moisturizer because of the awesome ingredient list and because it is a lightweight gel that I can layer under sunscreen this summer without feeling greasy and heavy. I tried the Byoma Cleansing Balm and didn't love it tbh. I felt like I had to use A LOT more than the recommended amount in order to feel like I had enough slip, especially when taking off eye makeup because I don't want to feel like I'm pulling the skin around my eyes. I also did not like how deceiving the packaging was! It was bulky and the product was only in the center circular area, but it's a big square. It did remove my makeup when I used enough product, but I will not be repurchasing it! I'd love to try Geek & Gorgeous, but I wish it was more readily available in the States so I don't have to buy a bunch of products that I've never used before just to justify shipping.

[@juhnetmickerdy]

Have you tried the cleanser yet?

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

@@juhnetmickerdy Yes and I like it very much! It's creamy and gentle. Does not strip the skin at all.

[@juhnetmickerdy]

@@UnpurrfectRobyn agreed! I love the consistency of the cleanser! But do you not smell cilantro? Cause I can’t get over it. I know everyone has a different nose and we all don’t smell the same things but everyone around me smells the cilantro as well 🤷‍♀️ so I’m curious

[@UnpurrfectRobyn]

@@juhnetmickerdy I don't notice a scent when I use it, no. Maybe a slight whiff of something, but it's not at all offensive to me.🤷‍♀️

All the water creams I've tried have been utter fails for me.

[@kathykisses09]

It is a water cream, so you might not like it. Its the EXACT formula as Aveeno's Calm and Restore oat gel moisturizer, in the little beige tub. The only difference between them is that Aveeno uses oat and centella while the Neutrogena uses niacinamide and panthenol.

I’m curious to hear what you think of the new trend in lipsticks being matte instead of glossy, Abbey. I know you like your high gloss shine… I dislike the Byoma cleansing balm with a fiery passion. It is waxy, smells bad, makes my skin burn, and doesn’t even remove Thrive mascara. Byoma has terrible and borderline fraudulent packaging (1/2 the volume inside than the package outside implies). Hard pass except for the mist that you recommend. BTW, I am loving the Kose Softymo cleansing oils (I have the light and the make up removing). The price is very right, there is no scent that I can perceive, and it works great. I buy the refills on Amazon and transfer it into my own reusable packaging. Have you tried those cleansing oils?

FYI: You only need a few drops of product, no need to dump out a tablespoon of product. Too much lends to feeling oily, break outs, and waste. See Shelby Wilson or Jen Phelps when they dispense product, you can easily see the consistency and see how it truly blends into the skin because they're not using globs.
