Product Fails and Hits of January 2012

[sunshinehart22]

One of my best friends just bought that exact same shade of Infallible shadow so I'll pass on the drying/spongy/bathtub plug things lol

[Sjulimari]

i want brown eyes too:(

[itsmrsno1]

Nice vid, thank you. Could be just me, but one eyebrow thicker than the other ..?!

[icravehim]

You've come a long way from those grainy vids of yesteryear... Love it. Proof that if you work hard, it'll pay off$... Congrats!!

[nickyj11]

where is your bracelet from? i love it !!!

[pursebuzz]

@nickyj11 thanks, It is from my store :)  elessajade com

[mamaindy61]

I remember Jello 1,2,3.

[pursebuzz]

@mamaindy61 I miss it :(

[gizemsena]

you are SO gorgeous!!!

[pianocutie154]

I really like the cuff you are wearing or bracelet

[pursebuzz]

@pianocutie154 Thank you it is from my store elessajade com :)

[Killppl4fun]

I love your lashes in this vid. and the lavender/lilac eye color very very nice.

[pursebuzz]

@Killppl4fun Thankyou!! I have a tutorial up for it

[TracyChristian]

I love this video. Also love your look.

[bellyrockin]

I tried to swatch the L'Oreal Infallible tester in Boots, and every single one felt hard and dry and hardly any colour at all transferred to my finger. Shame, because I liked the look of the purple one very much but I'm not going to buy something that can dry out so quickly.

[shychanter93]

Well, the dreamy bouncy blush isn't supposed to be super pigmented. It's supposed to be used as a natural flush. Just saying...

[PandaCupcakeGurl]

You should do this every month!!!

[Mms3302]

Love your makeup!

[genevieverodriguez]

i actually like the dream bouncy... i think im the only one! it's sheer but it's really nice (i have a peachy one)

[lauraimateo]

Hi! Your vids keep getting better and better!

I'm sure many have asked you this before, but what kind of camera are you recording on? You have one of the clearest hd videos on here :) pls lmk when u get a chance.

Thanks!

[pursebuzz]

@lauraimateo Thanks so much! Its a canon 60d :)

[0111kareena]

now i know why ur reading because it is a sponsored video!

[pursebuzz]

@0111kareena I don't use scripts and its sponsored by mylikes a 3rd party who does not dictate what I do or say. I don't really know what you mean about not natural because I just turn the camera on and film like all my video :)

[0111kareena]

this video seemed different to me, it seemed that u were not natural, u were reading out ur lines! must have inked ur thoughts before shooting for this video!

[sweetTla]

I heave the cafe color and love it. I think it's only suppose to be a sheer coverage so it looks more natural like you're blushing (kind of like the natural color of a little kids cheek). At first I didn't like the way it felt but now I know how to apply it. I use my fingers and it spreads easily. I do wish the packaging was nicer though. I've been using it for a couple of weeks and haven't broke out. Love your vids!

[pursebuzz]

@sweetTla yay I am so happy you didn't break out and like the product. It would be such a waste to create a product and no one to like it <3

[makeupaddict130]

THIS VIDEO MADE ME LOVE YOU 10000 % MORE

[pursebuzz]

@makeupaddict130 thank you!!!

[ebeato0206]

I use the elf blush brush to use my maybelline bouncy blush and I like it! And it is pigmented on my cheek :)

[pursebuzz]

@ebeato0206 ohh ELF.. they have great prices!

[maricelyost]

[pursebuzz]

@Katielee1212 Dark Duo glue :) cvs and sephora :)

[marleeabbigale1]

the bouncy blushes are really pigmented for pale skin tones, like porcaline and ivory skintones like me :) i love them too death.

[cecyck1]

I lov your purple eyeshadow/look!!

[fabbiee333]

You have gorgeous eyes! XO

[88Dode]

i hate the bouncey blushes too i broke out and i find the packageing very cheap its very streakey i tryed with a stipleing brush it worked better but look really bad

[shariboo4]

I am glad you are going to take the time to return the blush. I work for Rite Aid and we have a pretty liberal return policy. I do not keep ANYTHING I don't like and know I will not use. Just keep your receipt!!!! (deflated boob!!) BAHAHAHAHA! You crack me up!!

[justoliviashea]

The Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Plum Wine is realllllly pigmented and works really nicely but I have heard that a lot of people have had problems with the other colors..

[candygurrl]

you look STUNNING in this video!! <3

[candygurrl]

[xoprettygirl18]

[justoliviashea]

You look beauuutiful!

[asdfghjklxiaaa]

OMGGGG hahah you are the funniest! "Bathtub plug" eyeshadow, hahaha

[pursebuzz]

@hanhtnguyen4 I am totally!!! I love it!! thank you

[everhip03]

The glass part of the colour tattoos is the top. :P

[pursebuzz]

@everhip03 I think its the bottom because thats where the product is. Loreal has color sticker top bottom thingys LOL just more work for us hahaha

[everhip03]

@pursebuzz in the store they have them colour side up and the product name is fancy on the glass. :P also, most products have the names on the bottom. oh well, i store mine colour side up.

[barbr100]

You are too young to remember Jello 1-2-3! I remember it, though :)

[jetskidoo]

love your eyemakeup!

[dizzyk54]

Thanks for the info, I was dying to buy one of those bouncy blushes!! And I break out easy.

Vicki

[Elaisha17]

[iMorganHiggins]

So many products I want to try! You have wonderful reviews and fails!

[crazedstargazer]

ALL my stila eyeshadows have broken. I REFUSE TO PURCHASE ANYTHING STILA UNTIL THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR POOR QUALITY.

[andreasaurusable]

your lashes are AMAZING!

[sunmy87]

Hi, do you know how to sharpen an eyeliner using the sharpener similar to the one on stila crayon. It just broke when i did it. thanks

[SuperSharonHill]

[mrmonkey1116]

[empressiivee]

[foundtruelove0122]

[pursebuzz]

@foundtruelove0122 Hey!! I will automatically put it in the order :) i put the link of the earrings above too :)

[foundtruelove0122]

@pursebuzz thanks! :)

[CeliaJM3507]

In my opinion, the maybelline color tattoo shadows are better than the MAC paintpots.

[TheBigBrunetteBeauty]

I absolutely love the elf liner in Teal!!!

[Castrocarolinaa]

Your makeup!

[Castrocarolinaa]

You should do a tutorial on t

[MultiFrankie7]

I thought you said the clutch was 20 dollars? It is showing for 45 from your link. Was I mistaken?

[pursebuzz]

@MultiFrankie7 The clutch is $45 the earrings are valued at $20. The link for the earrings are above.

[annOulaGray]

@annOulaGray <3 thank you!!

[mamacoda]

[umrano]

[averonicacc29]

Is the Jewelmint code "video" ? :)

[pursebuzz]

@averonicacc29 yes :) sorry i forgot to post it :) 50% off you first selection by entering the promo code VIDEO.

[sound10kp]

I think you look prettier & more chic when you colors that are not too bold.. I thought you with bronze and brownish colors were super gorgeous!! :)

[lovelybunnyhop]

LMAO at "bath tub plug" hahahah

[camschelle]

Didnt like the doll lashes either. They left me racoon eyes.

[saraspadi]

Love these long videos!!

<3 <3 <3

[CrystalEmerald2012]

love your videos! you are becoming prettier and prettier for some reason!

[tinyxtina13]

I love the fact that you corrected yourself after you said "If you are interested in this for some reason" and then thought about it and said "that wasn't nice" that says a lot about your character and that you're honest to yourself :)

[ThePinkie033]

I have the Skindanavia spray also and you have to be very careful or it will leave a weird sheen on your face. Almost as if you sprayed a bunch of hairspray on your face.

[macaholoic13]

I tried the all nighter by ud but skindinavia makes it and it broke me out:(((

[theFAERELCHMiST]

the elf gel liner smudges on me sadly >.<

[LowraaaLime]

I'm so glad you like the 10 years younger spray !

I had bought UD Dew Me and my mom kept on stealing it from me, I was gonna buy her one but then I saw the 10 years younger and thought she might like it.

I haven't given it to her yet but now I'm excited to !

ps- I love how you described the bouncy blushes like a saggy boob lol !

[TessLan22]

the "bathtub plug" is supposed to be there to stamp down the eyeshadow when it becomes loose from use. I have had my eyeshadow for a while and it hasnt dried but i did need the stamper to compact it a bit more after using it so much

[leonardsrock]

Yay, I love it when you do favorites!!!

[rbnwade33]

Nvm, found it. ;)

[rbnwade33]

What is your other channel?

[bittersweet99909]

Never mind sawww iiittt !

[bittersweet99909]

What's the name of yur other channel ??

[pursebuzz]

@bittersweet99909 beautyreviewztv :)

[princessari1983]

omg! the bouncy blushes broke me out too! And I only had it on for about an hour and then had taken it off...the next morning BAM! break out :(

[pursebuzz]

@princessari1983 oh noo!!! What color did you use? Sorry that happened to you too:( I know I am sad and itchy about my face right now :( pfft

[princessari1983]

@pursebuzz I had tried Peach Satin on one cheek and Pink Frosting on the other. I was checking wear time to see if I wanted to get more, but instead I've decided to toss the ones I already have :(

[whosaysthatimnot]

@pursebuzz i love mine iit didnt brake me yet ooooo IM SCARED!!!

[yinkae]

Look at my Facebook age, it's like BAJOW!!!11111111 -> lololol

I have yet to open my ELF cream liner... You have convinced me that I should. :)

[DeeDoesMakeup]

Great video doll.I love these types of video.

[kattay11]

You have the prettiest face! 

[alexandreawest]

Those lashes are adorable!

[ddobro2]

lol @ "it looks like a deflated boob." That is really interesting you don't like the bouncy blushes because Macbarbie07 seems to be obsessed with them and didn't mention any ill skin effects.

[pursebuzz]

@ddobro2 I think the skin effects are really defendant upon the person but man... it had a lot of other flaws that I was just not happy with. I am glad she likes them because they looked really cute in the packaging.

[ddobro2]

ROFL on the eyebrow pen for redheads marketed as "dark"

[y3rlo]

i have to try those stila crayons :D yeh i personally think the maybelline bouncy blushes were a big fail. i didn't even bother buying one. just the reviews did it. do you know they discontinued the maybelline mouse blush and the bouncy blush was suppose to replace it D: not sure if its true. it what i heard.

[jessicaranger]

you're my favourite youtube guru ever. i love how the last heart you gave us, i heard a faint little eeeee~

i love how absolutely real and honest you are.

x

[gao3loveyou]

i love ur look, can you please show us how did u do this pretty eye makeup. What kind of lip color do u have so pretty. thanks :)

[hunnybee1226]

omg u look soo pretty with the purple makeup and the long lashes :)

[MiNiMELi]

Love your hair like this :))

[pursebuzz]

@MiNiMELi Thank you!!

[DandaCuteCheeks]

I like that you're honest and even tell us products that got sent to you and y u dont like em :)

[uleexxx]

have you had anything done to your face? you look so much younger and prettier

[deceivingallure]

Have you lost weight?? You look amaziiiinnngg

[sharisp2]

The Maybelline dream bouncy blush in Pink Frosting is a great natural flush for really pale complexions (like me, N15) and I apply it with the bottom of my Sephora beauty-blender knock-off sponge and it works great. Also I think that stopper in the Loreal infallible shadows is to compress the pigment, since it is such a very finely milled powder and without it it would become loose powder and not have the same creamy texture and application.

[pursebuzz]

@sharisp2 I am so glad that it works for you<3 Thanks for the info on the infallible shadows. I wish they made it prettier LLOLOL :D

[posey400]

I heard great reviews on the Maybelline blushes on other videos. Some other gurus loved them. Breakouts depend on a person's skin - so they don't necessarily reflect on the product itself.

[pursebuzz]

@posey400 Thanks for watching. I think everyone had different standards to what they are looking for. For me I have a list from smell, packaging, usage and how my reaction is. I didn't like how these deflated, how they were patchy and streaky(depending on color) when applied, how the pigmentation doesn't match up with how the package looks, and that it dries up fast :\So for me I felt like it had a lot of negatives against it. Glad other people liked it. I really wanted to love it too

[posey400]

@pursebuzz I love your videos Elessa. You sound sweet and genuine, and I hate haters anyways :) The thing is that sometimes I see so many gurus putting down drugstore products just for the sake of it. Many of us don't afford to buy MAC, Stila or even Benefit - I definitely don't, especially in the UK where prices are up on the roof. But I still appreciate your reviews. I will still be watching :)

[bananaab3]

I think maybelline bouncy blushes are either a hit or miss with everyone. I really like the sheer flush of colour it gave my cheeks, but when I took it off there were two red marks on my cheeks, so I'm afraid to try it again

[pursebuzz]

@bananaab3 OMG sorry to hear about your cheeks :( I hope it went away fast. Was it a red or pink one? Those tend to stain the same way red/pink eyeshadows do. I agree..I think it totally is a hit or miss. But for me its more than just breaking me out. I didn't like how it looked after it deflated.I don't like how it gets that rolly patch look then I have to blend it in. And I really don't like for maximum results I have to use my fingers. I also heard it dries out fast :( eekkk

[cables03]

you mainly complained about packaging. I could care less. Nobody sees it.

[AllurBeautifulCourag]

I love watching your video you have helped me out so much, I want to buy a few higher end product to add to my makeup collection, with my taxes, now you just make it a little hard to pick things to add lol. love your channel. Do you have any suggestion on Items I should add to my collection?

[kellylovesbeauty1]

I have the elf cream liner in brown and grey and they work really well too :)

[7gayathri]

haveu tried nyx slide on pencils on water line....;)?i have physicians formula eyeliner the slimmer" version...and love for water line....glides so smoothly....

[BlushingElephant]

what a shame you broke out from the Dream Bouncy Blush, I have one and love it! but I'm a lot paler than you XD so they are very pigmented on me

[kxchew81]

I have to dark purple liner from elf and love that way better then my black one. You should try it if you love purple

[slimti83]

yes dream bouncy blushes are wack 

[divinem1]

Love your lip color in this vid. What are you wearing on your lips?

[LadyLeopard29]

I don't like the Dream Bouncy Blush either.

[victimofstereotypes2]

You have to try the Physicians Formula pH matchmaker blush and lipgloss. The packaging is so cute. They both have a light, :) And the product is great. I love it.

[CapTrainT]

Wait...they make mink eyelashes? as in the animal mink? You're wearing animal fur as lashes? >_< Idk if i'd put a dead animal's fur near my eye.

[frealynn]

Lol I love the bag/purse xD Love ya Elessa =D

[Sarah1Rupp]

Thank you for your honesty about the bouncy blush! I personally wasn't sure what to think about it other than it seemed a little gimmicky. So many gurus have been raving about it and I'm glad to hear the other side of it!

[stevidog]

For awesome lashes try Benefit's "they're real"

[xxxRossRachxxx]

<3 Bobbi Brown shimmer bricks x

[pinkpuffprincess1]

aww so sweet.... hey please take a look at my channel too :)

[pinkpuffprincess1]

aww so sweet.... hey please take a look at my channel too :)

[ronat4]

You are very sweet <3

[CrazySexyCoolBeauty]

You are so fun to watch

[angge96]

lol 8:13 had me dying of laughter haha :') You're so cute :D

[silveradidas3]

i hate the bouncy blushes! I'm pretty fair skin and I cannot get them to show up at all...fail product.

[charismastar]

Loved how bubbly you are in this vid! Thanks Elessa!

[mslonghair12]

This is the first video I'm watching from you and YOU ARE GORGEOUS ! I'm like in love with your videos now! NEW SUBSCRIBER (:

[pursebuzz]

@mslonghair12 aww thank you so much!

[MarieLHG]

I have the black and purple elf cream liner and tbh I like purple more than the black :)

[pursebuzz]

@MarieLHG what??? OMG I wanted to get that one but I can't find it. I'll have to try purple<3 thanks

[GretalRabbit]

@pursebuzz The brown one (called coffee) is also brilliant- well worth a try too :)

[mimidaily]

awesome video hun :)

[dinavienna]

I love your thumb down and facial expression at the Maybelline kajals at about 6.00 :D

[Serenity812]

You're so sweet, I love how even when you're doing a video about products you thought sucked you can still find something nice to say about everything.

[yeahitskatee11]

i got that gel eyeliner but i got brown in stead D: and i like using black ones.

[XxJesiLopezxX]

I love you and your videos!!!

[CuteVidoll]

You where miswriting jewelmint in your video hun! it says jewemint ;)

Try the Physisians Formula shimmer strip gel eyeliner on the waterline! I have super sensitive eyes and can not use 95% of gel eyeliner on the waterline but this one works and is super rich in color! My favorite is green eyes shimmerstrips

[MLBennett1994]

You are so adorable, Elessa.

[BeautyByJuliaN]

I have the elf eyeliner in Midnight and it is GREAT! Really recommend it... I've also heard that the purple one is good. :D

[27blysse]

Hey Elessa! One more thing, I was wondering if you could do a review/comparison of the Bobbi brown shimmer bricks to the Mac mineralize skinfinishes? I don't have soft and gentle, and am not really sure which way to go! I'm super interested in both, but would love your opinion :)
