WORST Rated Products at Ulta & Sephora! Are they REALLY That BAD??? | Jen Luvs Reviews

[@speckled0stars]

I've been following you for about two months now and I just wanted to say that what I noticed (and love) about you is that when you speak, you speak so eloquently that your lips are easy to read. I was born with 80% hearing loss in both ears and though I wear hearing aids that help me function as "normally" as possible, I so appreciate people who speak in a way where it's easy to read their lips. It just makes watching you and listening to you 100 times better.

[@kristenpesut]

I'm a new subscriber, but I love how honest you are. No frills, no BS, and you're straight up. KZbin needs more of you. Let's get her that silver play button you guys! Get her to 100k!

[@PinkGlamGirl]

Kristen Pesut yes♡♡♡ she's the best!!

[@e.starling141]

Totally agree, no b.s. and I love it. I can always trust Jen.

[@PunkLifeMama]

A year later, 210k. Awesome!!!

[@526mum]

Every video of yours I watch makes me love your channel more and more. You could have said nothing about the filter and played it like it was something you use. Or you could have said nothing and just not used it again. But no, you were (gasp!) honest. How very refreshing. Seriously Jen, you deserve all the success in the world because your channel is based on substance and morals, not shameless plugs, paid vacations, and discount codes.

[@akbflo]

I was on ulta the other day & had a video idea - what about "Highest Rated Products under $10?" Betcha there's some real gems there!! :)

[@katiestevens3571]

I know this comment is a year old, but Essence is fantastic. In the partner video to this one, she talks about the $3 mosaic blush. There's no reason to try another.

[@TheFloridagirl09]

Too Faced is waaaaaay to hit or miss for me these days. I honestly pass on all their stuff these days. Dew the hoola liquid. 👎🏻 I actually got this for free and still felt cheated.

[@melinatedvessel6840]

TheOriginalKatelyn lol

[@ivechang6720]

TheOriginalKatelyn With you on both! Gave the Dew the Hoola away untouched. Lolol 😘

[@pattyosgood5821]

The new comfort matte Peaches and Cream foundation by Too Faced is amazing. That's one product they put out that I love.

[@fbiagentfrank]

Me too! Got it in a subscription box and was super bummed out.

[@ivyxatrix]

Having spent some time after work today unwinding and watching beauty videos, I saw that you posted a new one and immediately felt relief. I know it has nothing to do with beauty and makeup, but I came to appreciate your eloquence, vocabulary and properly constructed sentences. My week has been extraordinarily stressful and I felt like I could stab someone with a fork if I heard one more "really really good", "I am shook", "natural, kind of like, look" and "very very nice". Thanks Jen, for being Jen, is all I am trying to say :D

[@e.starling141]

Ivy S-B Lol, I'm totally with you on this. Jens very well spoken and mature.

[@TracyD2]

I'm laying here thinking that you are the most thoughtful beauty vlogger out there. Keep doing what you do and how you feel you should do it cause it's working. I too wonder how many products make it through production.

[@isaiahburnett6331]

That is so inspiring to me to hear that she is not going to be using any filters in her videos to stay true to herself and us

[@kwristal00]

You deserve so much credit for addressing "FilterGate" (dramatic, I know 😜) and I love how you aren't afraid to say how you feel. Your stance on filters I love and I wish more people only used them at times it doesn't deceive a products performance. You rock! 💕

[@heykerryann]

Krystal Mead Wayne Goss talked about filters a long time ago

[@virgismar]

I don't buy high end mascara since I found the Essence Lash Princess. I N C R E D I B L E

[@marthagmc]

Your integrity is amazing Jen and will carry you far. It's one of the many reason you are in my top 5 favorite KZbin channels. It matters to me and that fact that it matters to you is why I trust you! Thanks for being one of the best beauty reviewers on KZbin!

[@connieclaxton2565]

I prefer no filter. Even if it's not a review video, I pay attention to your skin and look out for foundation & skincare reviews to come because I think "oooh I can't wait to see what she's been using to make her skin look so good!" But, if you like using them then do what makes you happy! :) Thanks for mentioning it though!

[@donalpaccio4233]

I feel like benefit is in deep stagnation for at least 5 years now. They don’t come up with new things but exactly as you’ve said, they keep remaking this ridiculous little kits and their normal full size products are way too expensive for what they are worth. I feel like they are repackaging the same crap over and over again... they keep pushing ridiculous orange bronzers in cool packaging all the time. Wherever I’m in Sephora and I see benefit stand I just keep walking. They don’t excite me at all

[@irisk934]

I totally agree. Their silly influencer kits were hitting rock bottom in my opinion

[@lar8200]

I feel like they rely so much on gimmick and packaging to sell products. Nothing I have tried from benefit I can't get a drugstore dupe for.

[@IndigobluBeauty]

Not to mention their shade range SUCKS! Even though I like the benefit they're real mascara I've decided not to buy ANYTHING from them...

[@KatieM786]

I agree about the repackaging but I love the Dallas pressed powder bronzer! 😊 The Big Beautiful Eyes kit is good too but easily duped.

[@KatieM786]

watertownnative I also discovered recently that they are not cruelty-free either 😣

[@jamieanne4762]

Thank you so very much for being honest about the filters for your videos!!!! Those filters are "live action" Photoshop. Those filters 100% give the impression that cosmetics can do things, they are incapable of doing. For you, someone who reviews/informs/talks about beauty products, be so raw and honest... I have so much respect for you. I thank you so so much!!!! You have definitely earned my trust with the decision to no longer use filters.

[@nickodell4723]

I don't usually ever comment... but I wanted to take a moment to say thank you Jen for being one of the THE most honest, insightful, and caring youtubers that not only care about their subscribers but their actual content. A lot of KZbinrs do not call themselves out on their faults or mistakes, but you're constantly being real. I appreciate that, and will ALWAYS click on your video over some over-paid, over-sponsored, lying "guru." Keep it going... Hope you have a great Halloween!! -- Nick

[@irisk934]

I totally agree that benefit needs to spend more money on actual quality and product development and less on marketing and repackaging. I just saw that they put out a limited edition palette with a bronzer, galifornia blush, and the Watts up highlighter for the holidays. So lame

[@ashleyb7139]

Iris Lifrak They can't spend money on making better quality products bc they spend it sending influencers to Bora Bora & Fiji five times a year lol

[@pinkhoney6810]

I actually like the roller lash but nothing else I’ve tried

[@marilynchambers2234]

I love your reviews because they are so detailed and you know what you're talking about. You're not over the top, you are just truly genuine and that's why I look forward to your videos every day! After watching your videos for a short time you have quickly become one of my favorite KZbinr's. Keep up the good work!

[@kathychapman3131]

I just found your channel and I love your reviews! Thank you for committing to not using filters in your videos. Too many people use filters and perpetuate an unrealistic idea of flawless skin. Thank you for your honesty!

[@Cathy_r23]

☘️☘️☘️ Jen! I am one of the people who complemented your skin in that video & I stand by my comment! Filter or no filter, you have beautiful skin. However the fact you were so honest about it is just another example of why I adore you. You are such a breath of fresh air on this platform. You are a stunning person inside & out. Love from Irish Cathy ☘️☘️☘️

[@Sabrina_vlg]

Honestly you are not needing a filter at all. I would appreciate other youtubers would be as confident and honest as you. No need to lie we all know the truth 😘

[@TammyD123]

Well, I think your skin looks amazing here with no filter.

[@caroltraylor2016]

I appreciate no filter. Being older and recently starting to watch all these amazing tutorials, I was deeply feeling “my skin is awful, my makeup is awful” - not knowing much about filters. Thank you

[@kathrynfaggart1764]

I think some people just jump on the hate train without giving products a chance for themselves.

[@julieday1549]

Hi Jen Why are you not on QVC or similar,your reviews are outstanding. Thank you for sharing Jen xx❤💋💄

[@Allyson6C]

Julie Day Lol I think I understand what you mean - you mean you feel like she should be a spokesperson for QVC? That’s really sweet & I think she would be great at that too. But I’m not so sure how authentic or unbiased those people are. Those people have to give a review of those products in order to obtain purchases from the public. Jen is just too authentic for QVC specifically, like she might find herself miserable if they ask her to sway her genuine feelings (and then she’d be faced with job loss) lolol. But she would be great in tv though - I agree wholeheartedly.

[@celestecelestial90]

Because those QVC people lie to try to sell the audience the product and Jen is too honest to lie for the sake of money. But I agree with you in that she has great presentation skills. She use to be a teacher so public speaking and presenting are some of her strong points.

[@lauraschachte4162]

Julie Day thank you! She has the voice and style for like an infomercial or qvc. Super informative and the tone in her voice was made for tv!

[@WhatTheHellRachelle]

Laura Schachte I’ve thought the very same thing from the moment I first found her channel! I was surprised when I learned she was formerly a teacher (although I don’t doubt she was excellent at her job), I thought for sure had a degree in journalism!

[@sresto1]

Julie Day she probably get more money here

[@berrygirlie7963]

You did such a great job on this video. I really do appreciate how you put the name of the product and the price of what you are talking about. Keep up the fantastic job you do!

[@kaylamerritt7304]

The benefit stick primer, in my opinion at least, is for an oily oily face. I've used it before and loved it but I didn't want to repurchase for the price. I used it on my whole face, but it does dry super quick if I remember correctly. I would have to do half my face, work quick, and then the other half of my face. And my makeup along with oil control would LAST ALL DAY. It was amazing. But now, my favorite primer for super oily skin is the No.7 brand, called Beautifully Matte. I think it's like $13 at target. SO IF YOU'RE OILY AF, this is a life saver ladies!!! :) you're welcome.

[@desiree8602]

I really enjoy your videos. They are so intelligent. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and appreciate your openness and honesty about using filters. You are so brilliant!

[@CarynelM]

This is why you have quickly become my favorite youtuber! You keep it so real. Thanks for being honest about the filters and for not using them anymore. You look great either way so you don’t even need them!! But it does help seeing how makeup looks on the regular so I appreciate and commend you! 👸🏻 love your videos!!

[@nicegigi6299]

I am SUPER excited for you to hit 100k subscriptions Jeb! I hope we can all celebrate your success together. Love you Jen! You are my favorite makeup source.

[@murfymurf]

I truly adore her so much. I love to see her fired up about either how good something is or how bad it was. She’s so funny.

[@meganshillinger8294]

Here's the thing with the ratings at Ulta and Sephora... people are putting low and high ratings for reasons that don't even involve the products. If you read some of these reviews people are loving/hating it just because it is a certain brand or a certain collab, not because it is a good/bad product. That's a problem I see with the current rating systems. There are people who just do spam reviews, it really throws off any honest reviews good or bad and makes it really hard to find the real tea on any item. Another issue is that it's been proven that sites take away certain bad reviews to make the rating look better. It's almost like they are afraid of the real reviews of products. That's why I love people like Jen, Liv, and etc. Honest reviews every time!

[@carriekup]

Megan Glisson I have also actually seen a number of reviews myself that were like 4 or 5 stars, saying they couldn't wait to try the item and they were so excited they just knew they were going to love it....but admittedly had never even tried it!!!!

[@Kaaybrat]

Or they rate it poorly because it arrived late or damaged, or there were service issues with the company they ordered from.

[@ashleyb7139]

Megan Glisson The Subculture palette is a perfect example of this. On Ulta *and* Sephora, it has 4.5-5 stars.........How??? KZbin drama aside, it's *bad*. Most people I know that have bought it returned it, (regardless of batch number) bc it was awful. A lot of the positive reveiws? "You need to know color theory." "It's not for everyone." "Take your time and tap off the excess, you'll be fine!" ....Over & over & over...Talk about spam lol

[@MommyWearsWarPaint]

Honestly you don't need the filters. There was only a very slight difference. Your skin looks amazing in this video too. I think its totally fine either way, you do what makes you happy. You have proven your honesty and integrity a million times over and I truly appreciate your work.

[@losbrooklyn8861]

Appreciate all ur hard work, one of the best no BS youtubers

[@saraiotero148]

$29 piece of plastic 😂🤣😂. I love this channel!

[@morgan5923]

I just watched a video from 2014 breaking down beauty subscription boxes and who would benefit most from which subscriptions. If you ever have time do you think you could do an updated version of this? Some of the services changed so that may have been a pro or con in the past may be different now and I’m sure at least one or two of the subscriptions don’t exist anymore.

[@Hooverpixie24]

Your comment on not using filters!!! Get it girl!!! Honest as heck! I wish others thought like you did. Follower for life.

[@mariiiluv91]

I love the fact you stay so positive and nice and try not to offend anyone

[@kindallb]

You put Revlon for the Troublemaker mascara, you had me very confused for a second 😂 love your reviews!

[@adoptingjoseph]

That Nars mascara wand is actually painful to use. My hand slipped while using it and I wound up with a corneal abrasion that took almost a week to heal. I feel like there's a huge Too Faced hate train going on right now.

[@jessicajennifer9827]

adoptingjoseph oowwwwwww. I hope it healed ok. Damn.

[@fbiagentfrank]

I'm on that train.

[@sherlock1129]

Thanks for the honesty Jen! I feel that using filters is fine for non product review videos but you do you girl:)

[@annep2693]

fun video! If you ever do a similar one (for high or low rated products), you should say how many stars you would rate it.

[@pintxsized]

Reading the comments I noticed that most people applaud Jen for choosing not to use filters and some tell her to do what makes her happy or confident and I can see both sides. But what I personally appreciate is that she made the decision, completely of her own volition, to not use filters anymore. Not because people were accusing her or criticizing her for using them, but because she cares enough about her viewers that she doesn't want to add to the filtered, unrealistic content that we all see EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. She wants to be REAL with us. A+ Jen.

[@Allyson6C]

Usually the reason a mascara will smudge under my eyes is because I’m oily. So the ones I don’t use due to under eye smudging are: -L’Oréal voluminous original formula, waterproof is fine. -Urban Decay perversion, -Lash Princess (black & green tube) but I love the black & pink tube! -L’Oréal Lash Paradise in non waterproof formula😮 ❣️Maybelline Lash Discovery❣️ has been a tried n true for years.😊

[@pattyosgood5821]

Allyson Sixx have you tried Benefit they're real mascara? I've never had one smudge on me but that one did the other day. I don't know if it's because my eyes were watering or what. I do have very oily skin as well though. My eyelids aren't that oily anymore but the rest of my face is super oily.

[@Vaguenoodle]

Urban Decay Perversion is *such* a disappointing product for me. I thought I'd finally found an Urban Decay product I didn't hate (and, in fact actually really liked- I don't have problems with flaking/smudging either but this mascara looks very nice), but I tried this in the sample size and jeez... I've literally never had a mascara that slopped out of the container but this one did. It legit did not feel safe to use. Maybe the full size doesn't have the same problem, or I got a bad product but there are only so many times I'll try a brand before I'd rather invest my money elsewhere and Urban Decay has reached the limit. Shit tier quality and high tier price means they're permanently cancelled for me.

[@fbiagentfrank]

Urban Decay troublemaker is bad for that too:(

[@LavenderLullabies]

Lash Princess looks great on me but smudges so bad. :( Same with the Smashbox Full Exposure.

[@dollymamabeauty6114]

Jen...I love you ❤️ I think that it’s very important that are deciding to not use the filters. I as a person on KZbin can appreciate the desire to want to. All I ever think is, “people will think I look terrible”, or “damn I wish I looked that good all the time”. There is so much pressure to look perfect and it’s so sad. I recently did a video on my channel about representing myself as an everyday realistic version of what 45 looks like. As much as I wish I looked younger, I’m just not going to try and be something I’m not. I’ve got wrinkles and I can’t afford Botox so I’ve got to work with what I’ve got.

[@danalowe5451]

Dolly Mama Beauty I totally agree with you, I sure wish I looked younger than I am but I've finally decided that I just want to be the best 52 year old that I can be, tha ts in makeup and clothing. We just have to embrace where we are in life

[@sassycat378]

Dolly Mama Beauty subscribed from another "oldie"

[@sophroniel]

I love this kind of video. Because often you find highly or lowly rated products which aren't really accurate, and I would prefer a review from someone whose opinion I trust and know

[@StephanieMarie]

You're so funny re: the filters! I wish I knew how to add filters on my non-tutorial types of videos! I use imovie and don't think it even has that capability. I've been loving your content Jen. You crack me UP! 😘😂

[@shelei1]

Hey Jen, great vid girllll!!!! This is going on my vib list- what not to buy. Very informative, lovvve these vids!!!! Haveee a funnnn trip 💖

[@rachelo1966]

Woohoo! Starting my day right! Love your channel Jen!

[@ale06muse]

Hi Jen! I’m actually a huge fan of the Say Flawless primer. It’s all in the application; it can be a lot of trouble but it’s so worth it!!! This is a primer you have to apply in sections meaning you draw it on, blend, and immediately follow with foundation. Once you’re all done with your foundation application you’ll set it with a powder and it will be water resistant. Like I said, a total pain to apply, but soooooo worth it!

[@rctillery73]

Jen, you’re almost at 100k. Nice!

[@shelbielynne9609]

It's so nice to see videos like this because I read Ulta and Sephora reviews and most of the time I can tell that people are giving poor reviews because they used the product the wrong way, they don't understand the product, they expect too much out of the product etc. Especially with foundation, I see poor reviews and it's because people expect the product to fix their skin when they're not using a proper skin care routine or they want the product to do things it doesn't even claim to do, and that's just not logical. And those types of reviews aren't helpful because it's not the product it's the person. So this is really helpful because I know you know what you're doing and if a product is bad to you it's most likely bad in general.

[@eleighgirl9312]

Well, your skin looks great in this video, too. You don’t need the filters! I admire your honesty.

[@GallifreyanOrphan]

I haven't tried any of these, but I appreciate that you're honest while still being respectful. Great vid as always!!

[@kaamya921]

Jen, you are so Cool! There are influencers that use filters 100% of the time and they don’t feel anything about it. I don’t think you’re doing anything wrong by using a filter when doing the Makeup Minutes, are any video that doesn’t involve you presenting a makeup look. So you’ve told us now, so do not worry about it.

[@AllisonJacobsAttainableBeauty]

I found your channel after watching your collab with Stephanie! You have such a relatable presence on camera! I love your style and honesty! I’m w/ you on stick foundations for sure!

[@ALKBeauty]

Thank you! Benefit really needs to figure out their shade range and stop releasing the same things a million times!! I’m right there with you Jen!!

[@SamanthaMarchxo]

I am loving these videos Jen! And OMG so close to 100K WAHOO!

[@jenluv]

Thanks, Samantha! After over 5 years of busting my ass, I feel like I can taste that play button! Not literally, but you know what I mean! Haha!

[@slashblue9190]

The NARS mascara I believe is for 1% of the population. People with naturally curled, long and thick lashes. I have a friend from high school who we called Minnie mouse because her lashes are like this, and mascara made her lashes look fake in a really bad way. She only needed definition and that was it

[@lizmiller7681]

This kind of video is so appreciated! Your work and research ends up being a video that saves us all hard earned money, or at least gives us the heads up of the general opinion of other viewers. I have to say, “Thank You so much!”❤️

[@sarahpratt378]

If you like the filters you should keep them, especially for the What's Up In Makeup. For reviews I think it's good not too but just like makeup you should do what makes you feel good and confident. :)

[@smallbutsnarkysloth4381]

Oh Jen I just love you and your honesty! Thank you for telling us about the filter! I saw that video and I thought about your skin and how good it looked, but then I also think that every time you do a live chat so don't feel discouraged. You don't need the filter to be beautiful. But I understand the pressure and the joy of looking your best. I do think you could continue to sporadically use filters if you want to but as a viewer I have to confess that it can be hard to grasp that what I see isn't real because my brain still tells me " yeah but you've seen it with your own two eyes, then it must be true" so doing the connection even though you know something is "filtered" is a task all in itself. If all youtubers had your level of honesty and morale I would want them to raise my kids😅! I do appreciate you skipping the filters from now on but I want you to know that if you change your mind about it you have every right to do so and no one should have a problem with it, you've earned my trust and respect and I always support you and sent people who are sick of the youtube gurus to your channel 😍😙 love rom sweden

[@jen5707]

Maybe I have missed it but I'd LOVE for you to do an all foundation hit and miss video. Absolutely love you, btw, your honesty is sooooooo refreshing!!!💕💗✌😘

[@aseliarunnels2799]

"The wand is stupid!!" 😂😂 bahaha

[@Carmen241986]

Personally I think Benefit could make a waterproof version of They're Real.... it sucks when brands don't make a waterproof version for those of us who do love it :)

[@beemuse8586]

I have both the Hoola bronzer in the box & bought the stick/wand this summer. I like it. It isn't orange on me & I love how it turns into a powder & blends easily. Cute packaging too.

[@shannonquinn]

I freaking DESPISED the NARS mascara! I have naturally long lashes, so I need something that separates well (like the Roller Lash). The Nars mascara basically made me look like I had just gotten out of the shower and had three gooped up lashes. It was horrible! Loved this video! Oh, and FYI, you're just as gorgeous without the filter, but I have zero issues with you using one if you prefer it. 😚 Xoxo

[@michelelee5339]

Filters bah! Jen your beauty will always shine through. Let it rip girl🌞

[@Shayri01]

Another reason why I love you. I put filters on all my photos all the time, infact my phone smooths skin out without even turning on the beauty filter, so to keep a record of my skin (pimple) progress, I shoot pics on an older phone. I don't mind if you use filters for what's up in makeup news, because that's a different feature on your channel, but yes filters in other random videos can be confusing. Keep on using the filter for WUIM, & just put a note there for your conscience (You don't need to!)

[@NunyaNomi]

I agree on the filter thing!!! I have bought so many products thinking they looked great but then I got my hands on them and they would be AWFUL! So I stopped watching beauty "gurus" all together but I stumbled upon you randomly today and subbed! I really enjoy your personality-and you actually have a soul...

[@harshalirele2627]

I congratulate you on being so honest with all your viewers. I did not know that you were using filters in some of your videos. I truly did become envious of your skin and how nice it looked. my respect for you has grown tremendously today. 👍 I would be very glad if you did not use filters in any of your videos. or at the very least, it would be great if you could put in the description if you had used a filter.

[@joannej_Youtube]

I haven't tried any of these products, but I had a long series of fails with L'oreal and Revlon a few years ago, and that (and an eczema flare) is what caused me to try higher end makeup. I do buy L'Oreal still, but now I'm more into e.l.f., Essence, NYX and Makeup Revolution for my drugstore makeup. 💖DON'T feel bad about using filters!!! I've always assumed most people do for non-testing videos. Then again. Your skin and makeup looks flawless on this one so you dont even need it. 😚💄👍

[@hazelnutnicole]

I did NOT know the woosh beauty wheel was so expensive like... a literal pizza cutter is cheaper than that

[@micheledavis3735]

Jen, what’s on your lashes now? They look great...your shadow/liner/mascara look wonderful. I need such help with length but yours always look perfect. Thank you for sharing!

[@careysmith7259]

Hey Jen! Love your channel and I don't want this to seem like a criticism. I noticed that when you were discussing the urban decay mascara the info card said Revlon. I know how committed you are to accuracy and how easy it easy to miss things like that! I just wanted to let you know! Keep up the AMAZING content!

[@lilnitemakeup]

Can't wait till you get to 100K - you deserve it so much!

[@lauraschachte4162]

Love these kinds of videos! Does it say something about me that videos bashing products make me the happiest haha. And thank you for calling out benefit. All they do is release crap products now or mini sets of those same crap products. Their brow stuff is great and their box products but everything else is so gimicky.

[@Cosmo-on1om]

this is the most beautiful makeup you've ever done 😍😍

[@1frazzledhuman]

New subscriber here. Love your short what’s new videos. A lot of KZbin beauty/makeup videos now are pushing the 30 minute mark. Really loving your honesty in reviews. I’m over the shady, lying “influencers” and their fake reviews. Keep em coming!

[@michaelaglenn5966]

Jen, do you have a tutorial on this eye look? what did you use? It's soooo pretty!

[@julianne7750]

I really loved this video idea Jen. You are super helpful and I respect and trust your opinions. Keep shining girl!

[@Lovebug-ut8mx]

Thank you Gen. Reality is different from perception .I want to watch a real person using makeup because on the other side is a real person viewing without a filter, we can see the true outcome on the products on your skin ..love you .

[@nicolawalker6402]

I’m new to ur channel and I’ve been sitting binge watching ur videos. I just love how honest u are. U give great advice, I don’t know how I didn’t find ur channel sooner. U do great work and I’m happy to be part of the family 😊 what concealer would u recommend to stop under eye creasing

[@Allyson6C]

If you’re not reviewing products I don’t see the harm in using a filter. I think it’s great in videos like what you were doing.

[@Acuereus]

Allyson Sixx She's better than me. I'd keep the filter and wouldn't tell but I love a woman who's confident enough to admit it. These other women know darn well they're using filters. Appreciate the honesty Jen.

[@Rebecca-dm5ul]

Allyson Sixx I agree, add a disclaimer. I wish in rl I had a filter on some days. Jen I applaud your honestly.

[@rosiellagrace]

Acuereus right?! That's the bonus benefit of learning how to edit, hahha, but I loved how honest she was about it.. whereas most would just say what foundation they're wearing, without saying anything about a filter. Most of us know that, more than likely, there's some type of 'help' going on, and as long as it's not a review where it's altering the appearance of something, then she should keep them! She likes them, and that's all that matters.

[@ridinreiners]

Agreed.

[@kathiehanlon6140]

I'm so proud of you! Your first class & thanks for setting a great example for all the rest & also all the younger generation that might try to attain an impossible look that can't be duplicated. I speak for myself when I say I would much rather see the way things really look in real lightning. Besides your beautiful without it!❤😘

[@lisammarie1818]

Love how honest you are. Girlfriend feel free to use filters it doesn’t make you a liar. You are beautiful without them but if it isn’t a review video it’s fine.

[@cassiem63]

Loved the "mini-rant" on benefit, I've been thinking that for awhile and never heard anyone address it! So true though and i agree 100%!

[@TheLauren1113]

Your eye look is gorgeous! Just tuned in to watch and it’s making me want that Lila palette.

[@magsbrat1031]

Could you give us a link for the lipstick you're wearing?

Jen you're so adorable you don't need a filter. Really. Maybe the ones using a filter actually need one. Lol. But you don't. You have always been so honest w us so don't use a filter. You don't need it.

I could not stop staring at your necklace. Holy crap, it is beautiful 😍😍 This video is awesome too. Thank you for always having new ideas and creating great content.

I didn't hate the Nars Audacious Mascara... maybe it was just because I had heard such negative reviews about it that I was expecting it to be terrible... but it was okay. I'm already really excited to see you on the West Coast!

Loved the video!!!!! Great idea with the comment idea!!!!

Binge watching old videos of yours and you look exceptionally gorgeous in this one! Love your hair and makeup.

Just recently, at a drugstore makeup haul, Jessica Braun mentioned the Revlon YouthFX Fill Concealer, and she said she liked it, because it didn't sink in her lines, so maybe that's the deal with this product. That it won't make you look old by creasing or sinking in the wrinkles and because it gives some luminosity. About Revlon mascaras, I totally agree, they just suck. Revlon I LOVE colorstay foundation for oily skin, and I do like their colorstay nail polish. But I think that's all I wear from revlon.

I personally don't mind you using a filter in videos where you're not wearing the makeup you're reviewing. (Btw you look great either way.) Also wanted to add that I totally agree with you about that Nars mascara! Everything you said it what I experienced. I hung on to it and tried it several times because I wanted to like it for how expensive it was, but it just made my lashes look like crap everytime! Wet, clumpy, non lengthened lashes. Ugh...not cool Nars.

benefit would come out with a lighter hoola bronzer but not a deeper one and refuse to extend shades which is so telling. whoever did the brow collection needs to do that to the rest of the brand.

Absolutely love your makeup in this video Jen, stunning and I adore the ND palette. 100% agree on the Toofaced products, it seems like they are great at packaging and looks but the actual product seems to be subpar. I also think the eyeliner wheel is a terrible idea (including the Mac eyeliner wheel thing?) There are just so many easier ways to apply liner and it over-complicates things.

[@maggiemarion8669]

Whew! I don’t have any of those products but now I will save money because of your great reviews on the good and bad products. I so enjoy watching your videos. And I think your filter decision is good. It lets us see the real person you are ! Looking forward to the next video 👏😀

Regarding stick primers, I do use them from time to time when I want sweat-resistant shine control but don't feel like using primer all over my face or wearing lots of powder. I much prefer the Smashbox stick primer to the Benefit one. With the Smashbox primer, I find that it does what is says on the box, it helps my makeup stay in place all day in 90 degree weather. I do not have oily skin, though, so it may not work as well on other skin types.

BTW thank you for not using the filters anymore, I wish more KZbinrs did the same

[@Sonicman415]

Slash blue right! Especially as these folks are youthful and lovely. Hello
