 How is it going? Thanks for joining me on this Thursday evening. Normally I go live at six, but Jose and I went to get sushi and I don't know, I feel like 7.30 is a bit better anyways, especially for you guys over on the West Coast. So I don't know, let me know if you like this time you might start doing it at like 7.00, 7.30-ish depending what I have going on. But let me know is audio okay, is video okay? Are we all good? Hello, hello everybody, happy Thursday. Tomorrow is Friday. We are so close to the weekend. I am here. Awesome, yeah. Amina said this works great for her and LA. That's what I was hoping. I thought pushing it back would definitely be better for my West Coast folks. All right, so we're gonna start off my lives with how we normally start us off while we're waiting for people to come in all of my late people. So I want us to start off, type in the chat box right now one positive thing that has happened to you this week no matter how big, no matter how small. For me, I got sushi today. Last time we went to get sushi it was closed I was depressed. If you don't know, I'm addicted to sushi it's my favorite food, I'm so basic but it really is my favorite. So I don't know, overall today Jose and I have just had a very good day. Things seem to be working in our favor today which is awesome. I don't wanna speak too soon but things have been working out great today. All right, let's see what we have. Sandy got a raise, congratulations. Get yourself a nice gift. Kali's boyfriend and her booked their trip to Disney World. So fun. I was actually just thinking about wanting to go there sometimes. Kayla's getting married next weekend. Congratulations Kayla, you know I'm very tied to the wedding industry. So this last week is gonna be crazy but make sure on your wedding day that you are not stressed because everybody has to listen to you and they will do anything that you ask. So do not stress yourself out on your wedding day it's not your responsibility. Ashley said she bought the ABH concealer after watching my review. It is so bomb, I actually might use it today. Sasha said my work group had a staff meeting yesterday and just got to have fun with each other. That's the best when your workplace has fun things like that. Oh no, it just skipped. I'm sorry if I missed some of yours but it just dropped down to the bottom. I think I'm back, okay here we are. Lily said I was able to get my housing at college. Awesome, that's nice. Where I lived in college was so important to me. I literally chose my college based off of the dorm rooms. I'm extra like that though, like my home is so important to me, my surroundings, my environment. It's not a phase mom got her first paycheck. I hope you have fun with that. I have not watched Dawson's Creek. I heard that was very, very good. Becky's son's football team beat their rival team. Oh, that's the best feeling. Got to spend time with my godson and got a raise. Double whammy, haircut and colored. Girl, I need to get my haircut. It's been well over a year since I've gotten my haircut. Got the COVID booster, do they have them now? I don't wanna get that. Just passed your driving test, congratulations. Hilary lost two pounds. Lane has started college. That is awesome, good luck with your studies. Louisa hosted two workshops today. What type of workshops do you do? Heather, I got my Letho Cosmetics Palette with Teresa is Dead about last week. I haven't used it yet, but I'm so excited. I just, I can foresee so many looks in my head that I wanna do a book to holiday. But Papa John's, what? I need more information about that. Ooh, have an interview scheduled next week for an interior design job. That sounds really fun. Boiling crap sounds yummy. Okay guys, I'm sorry if I missed yours, but it just scored all the way to the bottom. So I couldn't read everybody's, got up a few days off of work. Nessa survived, mom and three boys. That's really tough, I can't imagine. Pizza, ooh. Okay, your husband literally bought pizza. Tell me why for a second, I thought like your husband bought the actual restaurant. I don't know what head is in the gutter. Anyways, pizza sounds good. Okay, lighting is good, awesome. And your new Natasha Palette arrived at the house today. All right, awesome guys. Thank you so much for sharing. We're gonna get started. It's been about five minutes. Here are the plans for today. So original plan as of this morning when I woke up, I pulled a lot of makeup products. I just wanna play with makeup, talk about it because I know one of the biggest flaws of doing beauty YouTube and I am guilty, don't get me wrong. But I know as a viewer, this is something that frustrates you. A lot of times influencers will use a product once, say they'll go back to you and then they'll never get back to you or say that they love it and then you never see them use it again. I understand your frustrations. I was once a viewer for many, many years. I get it. You become skeptical if an influencer or beauty person says they really love a product and they never use it. And I never thought I would be that way, but I fully am aware that I have become what I said I was not gonna be just because it's true. You get so much product and I love having the ability to pretty much use whatever I want and buy whatever makeup I want to review. I want to review as much as possible for you guys. And a lot of products that I say I'll update you on I never actually do. So this month at the beginning of the month I started writing down every single new product I've tried and at the end of the month I'm gonna do a roundup of the products. So that way it's easier for me to keep track. So anyways, the products that I pulled for the most part are products that I want to test a little bit more. So I'm just gonna walk you through my thoughts on camera and then I also have a few new things. Like I've been dying to play with the ColourPop. It's a mood palette. I told you guys I would review it but it just didn't fit into my schedule. We're gonna play with that now. I don't think there's anything else new. Actually just kidding. I'm trying the Catrice Truce Skin Foundation that Tati made popular. And then I think with the rest I'm just returning to try again. Yeah. I mean, in getting back to my point while I am gonna try and make a bigger effort to try the products more on camera and at the very least even if I can't update you guys at the end of the month. The reason why influencers and people who have a YouTube channel don't go back to a product it doesn't mean that they don't love it. If they say they love a product they probably really do. They just can't use it because it's literally our job to try out new products. I can't corner myself into one specific makeup routine especially me. I love trying new products. This is my dream job to try new products. So I cannot have the same makeup routine every day. I can't, otherwise I feel like I'm not doing my job. So when I say I love a product and you never see me use it again I swear I do love it. I can tell first try if a product is good for me or not good for me but I gotta continue doing my job. Anyways, I have talked too much. Also on top of this we're gonna talk about some of the holiday releases that's sneaked today on the internet. I wasn't gonna talk about it but it came up this afternoon and I was like, okay, I need to talk about this because we cannot avoid this in today's live chat. So I'm gonna start off by using the Rare Beauty Port Diffusing Primer. This is amazing. Okay, the first time I used it I was like, oh, it seems good. It feels nice. And the last week I've been using this every day. I really think it works. I like it better now than when I first tried it. So I'm using this on camera to update you guys. I really have been enjoying this primer. I swear every time I use it the makeup looks good on my skin. My skin looks smoother and I don't have the biggest pores to begin with but there's something about the way that makeup has been sitting on this that looks so good and so smooth. So I'm backtracking on this primer and I think it's worth it. I think it does something. It's both hydrating and smoothing really creates a great base for your makeup. By the way, I have everything that I'm using today in the description box. I have some extra stuff that I probably won't get to today because I wasn't sure how today was gonna play out as far as what products I used but all the products that I pulled out are listed down below. Yeah, there was an hourglass leak. It's not as much of a leak anymore. I'll show you guys in a second after I do my eyebrows because this is a little bit too precise. I'm just pulling out my Urban Decay Brow Blade. I haven't been testing new eyebrow products but if you want to see the sneak peeks you guys can add a tab or whatever look up right now on Instagram. Angel Naked One posts the best leaks today. She had the most but and this is on Instagram. That's a username. Tren Mood One also had some sneak peeks of the Natasha Denona palette, Tarte Too Faced which I am utterly disinterested in but I'll show you guys once I get these brows done. Oh, thank you guys. Yeah, so I just use my regular DSLR camera and there's this extension, I don't know, a converter you have to get but you can use it as like your live streaming camera so instead of connecting to your laptop which it will typically do, it connects to my DSLR though. In a few minutes it might shut down because it has a 30 minute timer and then I go into sleep but I'll get us back on. Eyebrow Gel, I'm gonna try two different ones. So I've been loving the Patrick Todd Major Brow Lamination Dell recently but I also have the Nude Sticks Set Gel which I haven't used in a while. I just wanna see which one I like better. So let's use the Patrick Todd. This one is like glue. I don't know how to describe it but it like comes out and it's like a glue stick. If you know what I mean, those kind of strings that come out of a glue stick but I've been loving the way this has made my brows look lately. You guys know I'm not into the feather brow but there's something about the way that this defines each eyebrows that makes your eyebrows look so much fler and I keep my eyebrows trimmed so I don't get a crazy feather brow look but do you see how good that looks? It makes my brows look so much thicker and I just wanna compare it to the Nude Sticks on this side as well. This one has a much smaller spoolie and it's not a brush like the Patrick Todd. The Patrick Todd isn't a spoolie at all. It's like a paddle with a brush on it. I think I prefer the way that the Patrick Todd makes my brows look. I can't speak on hold but because of the bristles on the Patrick Todd applicator my eyebrows look more separated and full. Okay. While I blend in my foundation we'll take a look at some of the sneak peeks but Catrice sent me their True Skin Hydrating Foundation and I'm really, really excited about this because this is the foundation that Tati raved about and has sold out everywhere. They sent me Cool Almond and Cool Rose. I think I'm Cool Almond but we'll see. This is supposed to be an amazing full coverage really natural foundation. Thank you Marie. You did not have to do that. I so very appreciate that. Thank you. All right guys. I'm gonna use my base blue cosmetics. Look at this. How cute is this? It's a ghost sponge and they have a really good texture to sponge by the way. Okay, let's take a look. Let's take a look. While I apply my foundation, let me blend this in. I clicked the wrong button. Hold on. It'll come up in a second. So I see you guys glossipping about the Hourglass thing. Did it get me here? Where am I? My gosh, I haven't vlogged in two weeks and I forgot or I'm live in two weeks and I forgot how to do it. Okay, here we are. So this is on Angel Naked's Instagram page by the way. If you wanna follow, that's where I get so many of my sneak peeks from. But there are two ambient lighting palettes that are gonna come out this holiday season. And did you guys see that it was available for a very short period of time on the UK look fantastic website? Was anybody able to order that? Or I think they took it off the website. Anyways, I thought I missed it. So was anybody successful with that order or did they cancel it and take it down? Oh, hi Patty. How you doing Patty? So let's take a look. I don't like the packaging. It kind of looks dirty to me, like dirty powder. I don't know, broken powder. But they are coming out with a lighter palette and a deeper palette. Here's a deeper one. Those blushes look absolutely beautiful. But I don't know, as far as the shade range goes, our glass is a little bit late, no? I mean, it took on long enough. But anyways, there are two palettes, which is nice. I mean, the quality of our glasses products are absolutely phenomenal. You can't deny that. So I'm sorry, I keep poking the wrong arrow. Here's the lighter one. Like I said, I don't like the packaging, but I will be picking this up. I pick this up every year. I use them, I take them on vacation, they're gorgeous. I think I'm gonna get the light one and I have not yet discussed this with my mother, but my mother's gonna get the dark one so that I can do some swatch comparisons for you guys. Kristen said, the bronzer on the deeper palette is an existing shade. That is what I use for my NC15 skin. Yeah, definitely actually, now that you've mentioned it, taking a closer look, it does look light. The blushes, definitely, I feel like are going to work on a deeper skin tone, but they could have gone a little bit more deep with that, or a lot more deep with that bronzer there. So they're gonna be around $80 strawberry cream. But the blushes are really what they're saying is deeper. And then here's the lighter skin one. I haven't looked at the color specifically. I don't know what is repeated and what is not repeated. So how are we feeling about this? The bronzer on the darker one is a shade I use and I'm in NC45. Thank you, Amina. So Amina says that that bronzer does work for her, but NC45 is not the darkest skin tone. It's about, you have like a medium to tan skin tone. I don't know, I haven't seen it in person so I don't know how it's going to translate in real life. Update on this foundation, by the way, it looks really pretty. Totsie wasn't playing. I think I really like Catrice foundations. Their HD full coverage one is really, really nice and my skin looks quite perfected. I'm gonna wear this tomorrow to my wedding and see how I wear it. So anyways, these are the Hourglass palettes. I'm happy to see they've come out with two new ones. I will be getting it. They have a great formula for mature skin, absolutely. I use some Hourglass powders in my makeup kit, especially on mother of the brides and grooms. The powders just, they add a gorgeous glow to the skin without making the skin look too dry. Oddly enough, last year these palettes went on sale for a very, very good price. So I don't know if I should tell you to wait or not because I don't know. That was the first time I've ever seen them on sale. So I don't know if they'll go on sale again this year but it seems that every makeup item is going on sale. So I don't think there's anything wrong with waiting or maybe during a Sephora sale. I just use the ABH concealer in shade number seven. I think this is as good as the Tom Ford concealer. So I wanted to do them side by side today to see if I could tell a difference. So I'm using the Tom Ford shade and illuminate concealer on this side. The Tom Ford concealer is a little bit thicker but the ABH reminded me of this and the ABH is $30 and the Tom Ford is $90. So they are two very, very different price points. So what do you guys think? Let me get a closer look. Here's the ABH side. Here's the Tom Ford side. They look the same, right? I mean, we'll see how they wear. I think the Tom Ford's giving me a little bit more coverage but I do really honestly believe that ABH and the Tom Ford perform very, very similar especially as far as their finish because they both give a very skin-like finish. The Tom Ford's definitely thicker and I think it's just a wee bit more coverage but the finish on the skin looks the same. So I don't know if I talk to you into the Tom Ford shade and illuminate concealer but the price scares you. The ABH is super, super nice. I've really been enjoying this one. It's really good. Tom Ford looks more luminous. Kara, can't wait to talk us for dinner. I mean, listen guys, I really like the Tom Ford concealer. I think it wears so beautifully but I'm not gonna tell you to buy a $90 mascara or not mascara, a $90 concealer. The ABH one, super good, $30. And I think we're agreeing the Tom Ford side is a little bit more luminous. Is it worth $60? Is there a $60 difference here? All right, yeah, I mean, I've always worn a lot of foundation. I really don't care. Let's take a look at a few of the other holiday releases. So I can get that out of the way for those of you who are interested in that. Here's the good one. The Natasha Denona Palette, a new mini that we're getting for the holidays. And it looks like this is her brush as well I saw on Trendmood that there's gonna be a brush that I don't know about Natasha Denona brushes. I've never tried them, but I mean, it looks nice. Very quickly on the side here while I'm talking, I'm putting on some of the ABH cream bronzer in the shade Amber. I like this bronzer, but I don't love it. It's not my favorite color. It's a little bit too yellow of a tone for me, but the formula is really nice. So they might have a better shade, but I don't love the Amber shade, but it blends so pretty, just too yellow. So how are we feeling? Is it, what is this called? Is this the mini gold? I thought it would be called the mini metropolis. It looks like the metropolis to me. So I don't know if it's supposed to be based off an existing palette or if it's a new one. Yeah, I think it looks like metropolis, right? Mini-tropolis, cute. I like that name. Looks like mini golden star hat a baby. You guys, I like it. I know it's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea because it's a yellow and blue palette, but it's a little bit more interesting and I feel like on the eyes, you could get cool looks, but it's definitely not gonna be for everybody. You know, I'm like, I wouldn't want those colors to work. Not an everyday palette by any means, but I think it's gonna be really fun for the holidays. I think the yellow and blue could maybe, I told you guys this was gonna happen. I think that the yellow and blue maybe could combine to be a really cool, greenish holiday look, gives me fall vibes, but I don't think it's gonna be for everybody, but for Natasha Denona stands like me and for somebody who's not afraid to play with a little bit more color, I really like it. Update on the ABH cream bronzer, by the way. I've been testing it recently. I know I told you great formula, bad color on my part, but I look so skin-like. It's just a very bad tone on me, but I've been wearing it anyway. It's sad it hasn't stopped me. Mini circle look, go. Yeah, it's not gonna be for everybody. I think, I think it's a cool color story, though. I like that she did this. I like the color stories that she curates. We'll see how it swadges, for sure. There anything else on here that I should show you while I'm here? Have you guys seen the new Dior Backstage palette? I'm on the side going to set my face with the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder. This is gonna make me very, very shiny, but I've been wanting to test this more because it was in the bottom of my drawer and I haven't been grabbing for it because normally when I powder, I like a powder that's going to mattify a little bit. This kind of adds sheen, but I think this palette is super pretty, no? It's a bit light. Could use some more depth and it doesn't look like there's really any mattes here, but I think she's cute, kind of nondescript. How are we feeling about this? Carrie likes the bright colors, awesome. Okay, yeah, Amina says this is a little bit too much gold. I can see that. I wish you're right, totally. Maybe should have played with a couple more neutrals or something in there. We all have so many golds as well, so I'm gonna agree with you there. A little bit heavy on the golds, but overall I think it's a really pretty palette and will be great for every day. I like these little Dior palettes. I think they're really functional. I like that they're acrylic so that I can see everything. This powder looks really pretty on my skin, but I'm a little bit too shiny. I should incorporate this with a matte powder and use this as a finishing powder. I'm gonna have to try it that way next. So an update on that Armani powder, I think it's more of a finishing powder, not a setting powder, but my skin looks perfected. I think that has to do with the Catrice Foundation. Yeah, it's not plum enough. If they had maybe taken away one of these three golds and added a true matte plum, I feel like this palette would be a little bit more complete and they would have committed to the color story. Okay, anything else? I'm gonna show you treadmill really quickly. Oh, and did you see Niki Tutorials is coming out with a brand, y'all? I looked at their products. They didn't look interesting to me yet, so I don't know if I'm there yet. But this post on trend mood was interesting. So here's another picture of the Natasha Denona palette with a lot of other sets. Like this two-faced palette looks like nothing that I need. I was gonna use my Denessa Myricks cream bronzer and I forgot. So I guess I'm not using that today. I'm gonna set my bronzer with a little bit of the bronzer from this Pixie Sculptor palette that I tried out in a couple of videos. I don't know that I like the quality of these powders. That's why I'm using this to decide. But two-faced, listen, you guys. So back in the day, I used to really love their holiday sets. I thought they were the cutest things in the world. And you know what? Arguably they still are, but two-faced is such a big yawn with the holidays now as far as the quality. I'm not into the quality, but you seem really cheap. You can tell they're made in bulk. No love goes into the products. The colors seem to be recycled. So while their holiday stuff looks so cute, right? Always, every year the packaging is cute. They have a great designer and artists on the packaging team, but don't do it unless you have a teenager, I would say that you can give this to. These are great teenager gifts. So that's my two cents on the two-faced holiday stuff. Don't do it, girl. That being said, I did buy the Cinnamon Swirl, but that's always different. It's always better quality. Hi, Jenny. Yeah, they won't be good. We are warning you now in the comments. They're not going to be good. I'm happy to see the holiday stuff being released though, you guys. This is my favorite year or time of year in terms of the makeup industry. The cutest little sets come out and my YouTube is about to be bustin'. It's about to be very popular because I am going to be on it all the time because I love all of the holiday releases. I buy them all and now that I have so much more time, I can't wait to cover all of the holiday releases and see what themed videos I can come up with, ranking the holiday makeup. This is the time that I come alive. As a makeup enthusiast, I love this time of year to see what cute little sets come out. So I'm mattifying my face a little bit with this powder right here. This does not have pigmentation. I wish I had more. I'm literally setting my face to this. I should not be able to set my face with this. And that's why I think I don't like this palette, you guys. I don't think I like this. Powder just doesn't seem great. Like the contour works good, but the color of the powder seems fair. Yeah, I mean, that's it. As far as the holiday launches, you can see a few other sets. These looked really cute from Tarte. These are the eyeshadow palettes, I guess. The little swirls, but again, Tarte. I don't really like Tarte's products in general. They have some good products, don't get me wrong, but I'm not a Tarte fan. Typically, I find myself to be pretty disappointed with their products, particularly in the holiday season, but don't think so cute. I always find myself ending up buying a Tarte set or two because their stuff is cute or it's a really good deal. But I'm not moved most of the time by the brands, but these look cute. Is there a better picture that I can show you of this? I swear there was a better picture of these, but I guess not. Well, the Tarte palettes look really cute. Oh, here it is. This is a, why do I exit out of that? Doesn't that look cute? Then the colors look really, really pretty, but buy at your own risk because I don't know that they'll be good quality. Yeah, Tarte has some good pieces for sure, but generally as a brand, I don't love their products. Okay, to play with the eyeshadow. We're gonna take a pause on the holiday talk and we'll come back to it if need be, but I do want to do a little bit of an eyeshadow tutorial for you because I feel bad. I lied to you guys and I said I was gonna do a review of the Color Pop It's a Mood palette and I never got around to it, but this is still available on the website. If you didn't get it when it first launched, you missed out because it was on sale and it's not on sale anymore. But how pretty, gotta move it back. How pretty is this palette, you guys? It reminds me of the Kathleen Lights palette, but updated. Don't we like this? So I'm gonna create a look with this. This was sent to me in PR, but I'm super excited about it. It looks really pretty. Berry Blusher asked, I still haven't gotten the Patrick Tau eyeshadow palette. Do I need it? You don't need it, but it's an ice palette. That's up to you. If you have hundreds of eyeshadows, you don't need it. It's neutral eyeshadows. You have a lot of them, but is it a nice palette and do I like having it? Yes. Do I personally feel like it has a home in my eyeshadow palette collection? Yes, but you don't need it. So maybe ask for it as a gift or something or get it on sale, but I would say don't pay full price on it because it's kind of expensive. Yeah. So there are glitters, Ashley. There's three. I don't mind the glitters. I mean, I either avoid them or I just use glitter glue, but I try not to use glitter because I do know it's bad. Don't, don't yell at me. So what row? Like I know you guys are like the purple row, of course, but that's so predictable of me, no? Really, really predictable. We're gonna do it though. I wanna play in these three. So let's do you and I. This is like a cool toned, topi color. So here's what I'm worried about you guys with the Natasha Denona stuff. She said she had more fun, unique color stories coming. I hope she's not just talking about that little mini that I just showed you guys. Because then I'd be a little bit disappointed. I think that color story is fun and that's what's got me worried because I know we're hoping for a big, like green retro palette basically. This shade is perfect in the crease. It really adds that shadow. Hmm, does melt normally come out with a holiday palette? I don't normally pay attention. I don't know what to do next. I'm feeling uninspired at the moment. Okay, let's take had to be right here and we're gonna put this in the crease. I feel on the spot is what I feel not uninspired because if this look turns out ugly, I cannot edit this. It's just gonna be an ugly look for the rest of the video. I wanna use this shade because a shade like this could turn very, very bad very quickly. Yeah, and I wanna show you how the quality is but so far so good. I love it out of focus. Yes, I am pulling a little bit more purple on camera which I guess is a good thing but it's a little bit deeper in person. I need a mirror closer to me. Yeah, I'm gonna do think like a purple and blue look today. Something smoky. I'm up late doing this live with you guys. I tried to do it at six earlier because I still have some time in the evening but I think 7.30 works better for you guys and I have a wedding in the morning so that's why I wanted to do it early but it's fine, I have to wake up early tomorrow. Listen, you guys are talking about the melt stuff. I don't know about melt. I've been burned too many times but I still keep coming back. It's a toxic relationship but I have the brunet. It's a brunet or brunette palette and I haven't used it yet. I should not have just admitted that out loud but I really haven't used it yet. It's a long story, it's not a long story as to why it's a stupid story as to why I haven't yet but I'm in the middle of reorganizing some of my drawers so the brunet palette is kind of in a pile right now to find a new home in my room. I'm keeping it so I haven't had easy access to use it basically is why I haven't put that out. This color blended out really nice, very pigmented. I made a mess of it but that's because it's me. Okay, we're gonna try don't deny now which is this color right here. Again, that's another shade that could go, I just dropped it, that could go really bad, really fast. So let's see, we have some kickback. Yeah, you can get this at Base Blue Cosmetics. They actually have a very nice textured sponge. I really like it. The mirror is too far away from me, I cannot see what I'm doing. Ooh, this is very pigmented and I don't have a mess on my face just yet which is a good sign, do you guys see that? All things considered, I don't think Colour Pops formula is the end all be all because I am very particular with formulations but truly it's way better than other competitors in their price range. Colour Pops is up there with BH. I think BH's formula, BH Cosmetics is a bit better than Colour Pops but with Colour Pops color story and packaging and the options that they offer, they're pretty close competitors in my book as far as the affordable eyeshadows go. Yeah, Kristen, Sydney Grace really does have some of the best formulas I'm gonna get a mess on my eyes. So I do swatch and sips on my channel which is a series where it has happened to be mostly indie brands that I swatch because they don't get enough love on my channel but just know that I really am a fan of indie brands, they do have the best quality as far as eyeshadows. I mean, Pat's Natasha also have the best formulas available to the mainstream market in my opinion so they all have their place but if you guys haven't tried Sydney Grace, I know sometimes we can be a little bit iffy as far as testing out these indie brands. I'm telling you right now, their formula is the truth, it's really, really good. It's not a scam or anything. I see I prefer BH Cosmetics over Colour Pop. I think their formula is blend easier as far as the mats go. I think Colour Pop comes up with better color stories and better palettes but as far as quality, if you get the good quality from BH because I know they have some that aren't as good but if you get the good quality from BH, amazing. But Colour Pop is not far behind but I do prefer the Colour Pop formula or the BH formula. Okay, I'm gonna do feels like right here. This is gonna be a good test. Okay, so I have it on my brush. I sound as metallic as I would like for it to be but it's really pretty. Colour Pop is another brand where I feel like sometimes their formula can be hit or miss because they also sometimes have really good formulas. It's pretty nonetheless. This look is so really pretty. Yeah, you guys, I think this palette, I've only used three shades but I think it's really, really nice. Can get some beautiful jewel toned looks and I specifically went into colors that are hard to formulate and are typically very bad quality in palettes. Well, it's not completely foolproof, pretty good. So I have somebody who loves luxury and high end makeup. When I say an affordable brand has good quality that says a lot. Okay, let me get a little bit of Thunder which is gonna be right next to that turquoise. This looks, oh, it's right here. This looks so pretty. Let me swatch it really quickly. Ooh, this is like a grayish purple. We're gonna put this in the inner corner. Almost has a green shift to it. Very, very unique. My college roommate is FaceTiming me and don't you know I have something to do right now? I'm on the live. How beautiful! Okay, I'm loving this look you guys. So far, I definitely can recommend this palette. Gorgeous color stories. You can go so many directions with this palette. I'm gonna pop that first crease color that I used. Well, second, we're gonna put this down here. So how do we think the holiday makeup season's going to be? Do you think the makeup's gonna be good or is everybody really uninspired with their stuff right now? I think companies do a great job every holiday season but I think it's getting a bit repetitive with the ideas. I think they're running out of ideas. So we'll see, I don't know. Then should I do a pop of green? Something different, I think I should. What do I wanna do? What's my poison here? Let's do oblivion, which is this green shade right here. Just to change it up a little bit, I'm using a BKBD 207. It's a little bit darker than I thought. So it's not popping green like I want, so I'm gonna put that light green shimmer on top. I will not be picking up the new Em Cosmetic Cosmic Dewy shadows because they're kind of expensive for individual shadows and they don't sell at Sephora, so I won't get it during a Sephora VIP sale. Still probably not, I think it's just too expensive but they look so pretty, absolutely. And I know I buy a $90 concealer, so what am I talking about too expensive? But I just don't wanna buy a single eyeshadow for $25, but it looks stunning, don't get me wrong. Okay, I'm taking a surface right here and then we're gonna put that on the inner half of the lower lash line, right on top of the green color. And that's gonna add that fun green pop. And then I'm gonna put a little bit of the matte, sorry if this is boring. I'm taking my time with this eyeshadow. I'm gonna blend this right here in the outer corner. So speaking of the Natasha Denona Palettes that I see you guys talking about in the comments, on Instagram I posted a reel today of a tutorial with the Beva Palette. If any of you guys are looking for some inspiration. Okay, I'm gonna stop using this palette now. I gotta look that I'm very happy with. It looks really, really pretty, very jewel toned. I've only used this once, but I will say I used some of the more difficult colors to work with, very good quality from Colourpop. This is definitely a hit for me. I recommend it if you are interested in it. I have not used the Kylie Cosmetics blushes in a little bit. So I'm gonna use Pink Power. I think this one will probably go best with my look, even though it probably won't go with my look. But it's been a bit since I've used these. So I wanna remind myself on the formula here. I didn't like the reformulation on the blushes as much. I think they're pretty, but I prefer the original formula on these blushes, but this does really blur the skin. I don't know if you can see, but it makes the skin underneath look poreless, but the pigmentation and the color payoff is not as good as the original blush formula, in my opinion. Something about this almost looks translucent on the skin. So while the finish of it is beautiful, the color doesn't really blend into the skin seamlessly. But anyways, so it makes the skin look soft, but I don't like the way it deposits color as much. Colorpop does have the best super shocks. Those are an amazing formula. Oh, thank you, Leah, for those of you in the US or UK. 25% off Natasha Denona. What an amazing deal that is. I'm gonna use the Sigma Glow Kissed Highlight Palette now, that Dream Palette from Sigma. Really good quality, you guys. That's the first Sigma eyeshadow palette I've ever liked. I'm gonna use Sizzle. This is a nice highlight palette, but it's too shiny for me, too reflective. I think in what, 2016? I would've loved this, but it's too much for me now. But if you like a metallic highlight, I think you'll like this. It's just not my cup of tea anymore. I'm much more mature than I was in 2016. I like it more subtle. But my skin looks so good, you guys. Oh, we're sharing good information. Kristen said, CT contour one is back in stock at Sephora. I'm not gonna do eyeliner because then I wouldn't be able to talk to you guys. So I'm just gonna pop on some mascara. This look doesn't need to be picture perfect anyways. Two new mascaras have come out recently that I want to compare. And I'm sure you guys wanna know what is better as well. Rare Beauty just came out with the universe. I don't know what it's called. The Perfect Strokes Universal Mascara, whatever. The Rare Beauty Mascara. And then Patrick Todd today actually launched the Major Volume Mascara. And I've used both individually, but I haven't used them side by side. So I get to see which one I like the most in case anybody was wondering. My gosh, I'm looking at my eyeshadow up close. Not to toot my own horn, but this look is even prettier in person. Okay, oh, so we're curious about the Patrick Todd mascara. I used it in today's, no, I didn't post today. I used it in yesterday's video if you wanna see my first impressions, but we'll use it on here too. So here's the Rare Beauty one. Sorry, I can't get up close because of my camera. And let me show you the Patrick Todd wand. Patrick Todd packaging is much more beautiful and luxurious. So here's the Patrick Todd wand. Here's the Rare Beauty. They're both kind of big, and I don't like that for my short lashes. And you'll see the Rare Beauty looks like it would be more clumpy. Just a different kind of wand here. But let's see, we're gonna use Rare Beauty first on this eye. You know, here's the thing. They're really marketing the Rare Beauty as a universal mascara for every lash, but what brand doesn't market their mascara for everybody? You know what I mean? So I'm taking that with a grain of salt. So you should be up, let's see. Do you go to Chrome? I don't think so. Am I back? Oh, I'm back. Say hi if you see me. Thank you, Jose. I'm so sorry. I know we lost a lot of people during that. I don't blame you all for leaving. Okay, then I'm gonna finish this up now. I don't know why, but my computer just turned off. So it froze and we had to turn it off. So we're gonna finish up here, but I didn't wanna show you. Jose was fixing things. I did put the Patrick Todd on this side and the Rare Beauty on the other side. And the Patrick Todd is better, at least on my lashes. So it's just one coat really that I have, but the Patrick Todd is thicker, my lashes are longer. The Rare Beauty is more natural. So for me, I prefer the Patrick Todd. Yeah, the whole time I was just going, hey, I'm with the mascara. I do wanna try that new milk, not the eye primer, but the concealer. So anyways, as I'm closing up because I just flopped up and got messed up, Patrick Todd's mascara, I like better. It's a little bit more thickening. The Color Puppets Mood Palette is definitely a hit on my end. I mean, I love this look. I love the quality of the shadows. And we saw the Holiday Sneak Peaks and I think I've hit everything for today. I am going to clean up all my stuff, get my makeup off because I have to wake up early tomorrow. I have my first Friday wedding that I've ever been able to take. I haven't taken any Friday weddings ever because I was teaching and I have like three Friday weddings this month. So I'm gonna get my kit prepped for that, make sure I clean my brushes this morning so I'm gonna put them back in my makeup kit. So I am going to end this stream here. I'm so sorry for the technical difficulties. Thank you to those of you who actually stuck it out. And I hope you guys have a fabulous weekend and enjoy your Friday. I hope it is nice. Bye guys, I will see you later. Maybe not, I don't even know how to end this stream. Hold on. Bye guys, see you later. Have a good weekend.
