Been using elf for years and they just keep getting better! Like NYX and Flower too but they can get a little pricey depending on the product. Colourpop is my favorite for eyeshadow palettes. Great picks! 😀

[@hollybabyyy]

And getting more expensive

[@AndreaMatillano]

Yes! I try to shop NYX and Flower Beauty when they go on sale at Ulta but I’ve noticed the prices going up lately. Thanks for sharing some of your favorites! 💗

[@tammyherrera7262]

I think the Flower Beauty shadows look beautiful! I think I will wait for a sale like you mentioned. Hope you and your family are doing well! Are you ready for Christmas? I’m so excited that’s it’s going to be cold here I. San Antonio for Christmas It was so warm on Thanksgiving especially with the oven on 🥵LOL such a fun video! I always love seeing your recommendations 😊❤️💄

[@AnaLovesMakeup]

I’m glad you separated the high end with the drugstore because I rather watch drugstore not so much high end 😆

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it! 🥰

[@jennifermolina4396]

Same here. I love the drugstore makeup. They’ve been killing it lately.

[@Sayla-lalalalala]

Anything has to do with: NYX, Milani, Makeup Revolution, Neutrogena or Winky I’ll put my hands on cuz I trust it. But all of your honesty really helps (Andrea). 💜

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for watching my videos! It means so much. 💗

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

I ❤ Neutrogena too, their base products are so dependable and easy to use + feel so high end! (just wish they would expand their shade range for base products- so we could recommend them without hesitation i😢

[@Lala94]

Ooh Andrea you look so bright and springy today! Just the vibe I needed on this cold day, beautiful!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Ahhh thank you! I wasn’t feeling the winter vibes when I filmed that day. 😂💗

[@theeluannesantos]

I have the total opposite skin type than you. I’m normal/dry, aging and very fair lately. However, we both love the same type of products. I have tried more products that you recommended this year over anyone I watch I’ve absolutely loved everything! It’s amazing! I didn’t think the same products would work for me that you love. I’m so happy I stuck around and tried something you recommended. I used to not watch unless the person had the same skin type as I did. You have been one of my favorite people to watch and someone who I know I can trust.

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Yes, I am aging and dry (unless it is the peak of summer & humid) and I really enjoy Andrea’s recommendations, too!

[@theeluannesantos]

@@hallievanoutryve3109 Andréa is amazing! I’m so happy her recommendations work for you too!!!

[@kimt9978]

While I love the high and drugstore mixed, I am appreciative of how much extra work it is to do separate vids as that’s very thoughtful I rarely ever buy drugstore but now with a teenager who’s starting to learn about makeup I’m allowing her to try certain “drugstore” makeup items from Ulta So vids like this are so helpful in knowing what’s better quality drugstore -it’s wonderful to see how many good drugstore products there are nowadays!

[@shanak1975]

I love your eye look! This was such a fun video!! I love good drugstore makeup. Although drugstore prices have gone up significantly I really think the quality has too. Thanks for sharing.💕

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much for your kind comment! 💗 I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@kristenreehil3196]

The Best Drugstore Makeup 2022 that I tried this year are: - NYX Plump Right Back Electrolytes Plumping Primer Serum, Bare With Me Concealer, Wonder Pencil Highlighting Duo, NYX Ultimate Glow Shots in Wow Cacao - E. L. F. Cosmetics Camo Powder Foundation, Liquid Glitter Eyeshadows in Mermaid Shimmy, Flirty Birdie and Disco Queen - Colourpop Pretty Fresh Pressed Face Powder, Super Shock Cheek in Birthday Suit & Act Natural Mascara , Lust For Dusk Shadow Palette, Glowing Lips - Milani Be Bright Illuminating Primer (purchased this year), Highly Rated Anti- Gravity Mascara - L. A. Girl Sunkissed Glow Palette, Shockwave Eyeliners in Penny and Gold Medal

[@clarebear910]

My favorite and most used drugstore makeup this year (though not necessarily new releases) were the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara, NYX Epic Ink Liner, Loreal Infallible Pro-Glow Foundation, Covergirl Outlast All-Day concealer mixed with Colourpop Pretty Fresh Hyaluronic Creamy concealer, Colourpop Sol Body Bronzer, Colourpop Brow Pomade, my Moira Cosmetics Ombre blushes, Wet N Wild Megaglo Highlighting Powder, Colourpop Lux Liquid Lipstick (Casual Dress), and various Colourpop Super Shock Shadows mixed with many different eyeshadow palettes!☺🤩

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

Try wet and wild bronzer and blush in sunset striptease and mellow wine (wine shade of blush could work for a wide range of skin tones, while sunset strip should work if you are in the fair-light-med range and want a neutral leaning, glowy, buildable bronzer. They should add bronzer shades for deeper skin, bc the formula is just amazing! I couldn’t get bronzer or contour to work for me until I tried this $7 stunner!

[@SheReaDelSol]

Agreed, loveeee the elf powder! 😊

[@AndreaMatillano]

It’s so good! 😍 I’m so glad to hear that you love it too!

[@paulinej24]

Great video with some great picks! I love the Essence highlighter and the Milani lip gloss! I can't wait for more drugstore content coming in the new year and look forward to the Best High End video!

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so much Pauline! 💗

[@scray00]

The thing about not keeping up with Andreas videos is I have to watch them all twice to figure out what I want to pick up 😂 there’s sooo many good products in every video that the best of videos don’t necessarily cover them all. I always say no one gives the attention to detail that Andrea does. Who might like it, who prob won’t, similar products and their prices…I have no idea how you remember all the details considering how many products you test !! So thanks again for all the hard work you put into your videos for us 🥰

[@AndreaMatillano]

You are seriously so sweet! Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! That means so much to me.

[@jennifermolina4396]

Disclaimer on the Revolution bronzer!!!! Use a sponge and a light hand! First time I used it, it was really bold! Apparently me using a sponge works so much better! I love that bronzer so much and it is stunning! So gorgeous and blends out effortlessly!

[@PigeoneerToy]

Wet N Wild also does matte liquid shadows, it's within the line Megalast Liquid Catsuit Eyeshadow (they also do lipsticks in this line), there are different finishes in liquid formulas for lips and for eyes, including matte shades.

[@wordsfromleetoyou]

I think mid-way lash and brow photos would be really cool to have as well! or even after month 1, then at the end of month 2, and then the 3 month point.

[@AndreaMatillano]

That’s a great suggestion! Thank you!

[@sacgeekgirl]

I feel like January should be the official month of declutters lol

[@nelsonquinney2316]

Happy Monday Everyone

[@AndreaMatillano]

Hope you have a great week!

[@xiaoshuangwu4680]

love your videos~ ive been watching less beauty videos lately (unintentionally) and you are still my fav

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so so much for watching my videos. I can’t tell you how much it means to me! 💗

[@chrissymoss514]

I'd love for Flower Beauty to properly stock the UK with their products. For some weird reason, we only get a few of them and we don't get all the shades either!! That said, I am very grateful for the small amount we receive - it's definitely better than nothing at all 😉 Oooooo, I'm loving this peachy look you're rocking. You look super pretty 😍 Love you, 🎄💞🎄💞🎄💞🎄

[@BurnItUpp2009]

Flower beauty has been taken off Superdrug now too 😭 I really wish boots or superdrug would stock the whole range. We miss out on some beautiful products.

[@chrissymoss514]

@@BurnItUpp2009 Maybe, we could bombard Flower Beauty with lots of DM's, demanding they send more products to the UK!!

[@elkevangeelen4255]

Flower was in the Netherlands in one drugstore. Limited sellection. Now it seems to have stopped . Such a shame😢

[@0773heidi]

Flower Beauty used to be in Superdrug in the uk don’t know why it’s gone now I loved there spiced petal lipstick x

[@kristymitchell4014]

I just found you today and when you said you focus on cruelty free, I hilt subscribe. I have lots of the products you mentioned because I love drugstore makeup. Your reviews are clear and thoughtful so I’m going to be watching a lot more of them today. Btw, your look is beautiful!

[@EnvyBlu]

I just love your videos and your recommendations. I have almost every product you mentioned lol. I love them all! I love the formula of the NYX stick it brow, but I don’t like the big spooly. I wish they’d make it smaller like Elf’s, then it would be perfect

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you so so much for watching my videos! It means so much to me! Yes! I wish the wand was just a little bit smaller too.

[@robynwolf3803]

I love a great Matte shadow liquid! Ty so much for the recommendation! I have every color of Two Face! Lol 😂I just love them! Now I can try the ones u showed! They r truly hard to find. Ty for all yr recommendations! ❤

[@louisesharpy]

Yes. This is one of my favs vidoes. So affordable and all quality products. I trust you with my money ALWAYS !! I can’t wait for the new products too. Happy Holidays. Hope you get to feeling better

[@stephanieyuhas64]

My fav end of the year video!!

[@annemowdy391]

I can't believe how late to the NYX party I was this year. For whatever reason, their marketing just didn't pull me in, and I wasn't interested in their stuff. Boy was I missing out! I love so many of their products now, most especially the plumping primer and wonder stick. I was so happy to see both in your list. Their eyeshadows and lip glosses are super good too. (PS: The link for the ultimate glow shots goes to the elf bite-sized pallets.)

[@theeluannesantos]

NYX has been a favorite of mine for years. I have to admit I didn’t buy much from them for about a year. Thankfully I came to my senses The people behind NYX are as good as the products. I went to an after party and they sent me home with every product they launched that year. I was so grateful! I told them I wasn’t an Influencer, I was there with a friend who was but they didn’t care. They are so nice!

[@mybeautyfilledlife]

I have 2 ELF primers (the Mint Melt and Jelly Pop) still but I'll definitely be using the Power Grip next! My favorite drugstore products from this year are the Maybelline Super Stay Ink Crayons (I have 4 shades) and the Morphe Soft Focus Cheek Balm. Love your videos as always 💜

[@AndreaMatillano]

Thank you for sharing some of your favorites! 💗

[@Beautybybllc]

The cheek balms deserve more love

[@hallievanoutryve3109]

An affordable cream cheek product I haven’t tried (or at least heard of!) 😂 I am obsessed with cream blush- It is the category of makeup I have the most of!! I will check the formula and color selection of the Morphe one, to see if it might be something I don’t have!Which is a bit dumb since they have a pretty short recommended shelf life- (6mo - 2 yrs) While I don’t immediately throw them out when they reach expiration, if they show no signs of turning- (ie. They still smell and perform good as new)… Cream and liquids are just not like powders that can (often) be used with relative safety (if care has been taken to maintain cleanliness & hygiene) long after the expiration on the label has past!

[@simplyellenxo95]

Ooooh I have the elf primer. I’m Gina use it right after the nyx primer.

[@MLLL1234]

Love the drugstore video...looking beautiful... have a great holiday!!!!

[@AndreaMatillano]

[@liftingdietitian]

I haven't tried a powder foundation as I've been into liquids still, but I used to use the it cosmetics one. I'll have to try the elf one. Have you used many products by makeup by Mario? I've been very interested in the brand and I was curious on your favorites

[@kaivickers166]

I’ve wanted to order the Colourpop powder foundation since it was released, but they don’t give undertones which is so frustrating. I’m very yellow and so even neutral looks pink on me.

[@AndreaMatillano]

It would be really helpful if they gave undertones! Since it does have coverage I feel like it's important to know the undertone since it really shows up on the skin!

[@Gokuthegod468]

I give up on the essence highlighters lol! I've ordered them multiple times and they keep getting delivered shattered. So I will never know if I enjoy it lol!

[@AndreaMatillano]

They do break so easily! I feel like their powders are so soft and the packaging isn't great so a lot of their products end up breaking on me!

@Andréa Matillano those specific highlighters are the only essence products that have ever been broken when I've ordered them and I have a lot of essence products.

It’s the worst cream bronzer for anyone of medium to deep … it’s gray on us … I wish KZbinrs would remember that not everyone is fair skinned

[@AndreaMatillano]

I personally haven’t tried the darker shades in either bronzer I shared so I can’t speak to whether or not it ends up look gray on the skin. Unfortunately that’s not really something I can speak to when reviewing products! I can only look at the shade ranges and see which brands seem to make the most/best options which I always try to keep in mind when recommending products.
