 Hey guys what is up welcome to my channel for today's video I'm going to be updating you and using the products that I've recently bought in the last couple of months And I'm gonna be updating you on my thoughts now that I've had the chance to use them for a lot longer We have a lot of product talk today I'm also trying out the new pat mcgrath labs dark star mascara for this first time And you'll also get a tutorial on this beautiful look So if you are interested in that then just keep watching Hello dear friends of mine It has been a hot hot minute since I've sat down and applied makeup with you guys I figured we'd do this type of video with this style today and just put makeup on chat about these new products How I'm feeling about them get a good look together And yeah, so I was going through my makeup purchases in the last couple of months And I picked products that I feel like I haven't touched on since I really reviewed it Like, you know, I purchased the natasha denona bronze collection. I've talked about that time and time again I'm not gonna mention that in this video These are products that I feel like I could definitely give you guys some more thoughts after initially talking about them in my videos Just to kind of update you know, I don't do this videos often, but when I do they're really good So for primer, I actually did not have a primer. I tried the charlotte tilbury magic serum I got a sample of it the other day I guess we're kind of trying this together and the first time I used it I did actually cause some pilling with the foundation that I put on top So I'm going to see if that is the case today. So this is a newer product It's just a sample from what I've experienced the first time using it I don't think it's going to be a purchase that I will be making because the serum is quite expensive It does sink into the skin very nicely. It's very thin. It leaves a little bit of tackiness to the skin I don't really know that this is necessarily for pre makeup But it's nice and moisturizing. So that's how I'm going to use it. I like how it feels It's very expensive. I don't really think it's worth it But it does hydrate my skin and leave it feeling nice for makeup But if you can get a sample, it's worth sampling it anything other than that personally I'm not to move by it So I reviewed two foundations that I want to update you guys on So one is the dior forever summer skin I kind of use this once and then never talked about it again And then the other one is the color pop pretty fresh hyaluronic hydrating foundation So the reason I haven't really updated you guys on this one is because the color on this is so off I'm like almost embarrassed to wear it They had this weird color range and I ordered light and this is not for light skin Apparently the colors were mixed up. I don't know whatever it is. It's unacceptable. This is not a light shade It's definitely for a medium skin tone. I like this. I don't love it. I think after a couple hours I get a little bit too oily So I've been liking this to thin out thicker foundations that are too light on me So for me, this has worked good as a mixing foundation on its own. It's very very very very dewy So if you like a dewy foundation, you may like this, but I think it's a bit much I don't really think it's worth the money. The color range is unacceptable and whatever problems that they had It's just your mix such amazing base products and they really didn't amaze me this time I think it's okay, but there's just so many issues with it I'll continue to use it and mix it with other foundations, but it doesn't stand alone and a foundation should stand alone On the other hand the color pop pretty fresh foundation has impressed me a lot That's the foundation i'm going to use today for you guys. I love this foundation. I think it's so good I think it's so great for the price now $16. I feel like it's a bit pricey especially for color pop But I will say the quality is worth the $16. I think it looks really healthy on the skin I like that even though it says it's a hydrating foundation It's not too dewy or anything like it gives you a actual natural finish I think if you do have some dry patches, this will emphasize that so just be aware But overall wear time on this is really good. The finish I like it's very natural. It has a nice medium coverage I would say you can't really build it up any more than that I just think it looks beautiful on the skin and it wears beautifully as well, which is important Let me zoom again so you guys can see a little bit better And I don't know if you just saw but it blended in with little to no effort I have mine in the shade medium a5n which will argues like a touch too dark on me But you can barely tell it's pretty decent shade match I'm going to put a little extra love in the area right here and right here since my review I am definitely still loving this and I'm liking this more than I like the summer skin I don't want to push you away from buying the Dior I feel like a really really glowy like coverage foundation for summer This might be for you personally I didn't find the wear time to be the greatest on me and I like the color pop better So now let's move on to brows I wasn't going to feature brows because I feel like I've talked about the product I'm about to talk about enough, but I figured it's pretty new so I might as well use it So the Marc Jacobs brow wow duo I have been loving and it's been a new regular in my routine The only thing I would say that I don't like about it Is it gives a little bit too much color than I'm looking for Because I'm so used to using powders or even the benefit precisely my brow Like it's a little bit more powdery It doesn't deposit so much color at once Whereas this it's a bit more of a creamy consistency So what you lay down is a lot when you press it onto your brow So for me I definitely have to use a lighter hand with this But it's a beautiful product It blends out really nicely and I do like how if you make a mistake Since it is so creamy you can kind of just rub it away And then if it looks too harsh or dark on your brows You take a spoolie and it blends out really evenly So I've been liking this product a lot Like I said, I don't have a lot of eyebrow products in my collection So this one is good enough that it's made its way into my regular eyebrow routine I've been enjoying it a lot and then on the other side You get a brow gel And I really feel like this brow gel works It is slightly tinted But it's not tinted to where it really adds anything to your brows Unless you don't have anything on your brows So if you don't have anything on your brows You can kind of see the tintedness But if you lay down that initial layer of color with the pencil You really can't tell that it's tinted It is so faint But I do like that the brow gel is just attached to it And I think it does a good job of controlling my brows honestly So I'm gonna throw on just a little bit of concealer and powder Since I don't have anything new for you guys And then we'll be back to talk about some other products So I just used the ELF 16 hour camo concealer And then I brought out my ABH translucent setting powder I haven't used this in such a long time I wanted to give it a little bit of attention Let's move on to bronzer And I feel like this might be the most helpful part of this video for you guys I talked about it on my Instagram story So if you aren't following me, make sure you are I decided that I was going to give my Gucci bronzer to my mom This is shade number 2 And I did a whole review on it And I definitely had to work to make it work for me You could see even in the video It was definitely too dark It made me look a little bit dirty But I liked the formula So I was kind of justifying that In no way should number 2 be this dark It was significantly darker than all of the other bronzers in my collection And I had to lightly press my brush in Tap it off a lot And very lightly apply it to my face to get it to work for me And I figured for $62 that just wasn't worth it It became available on Selfridges I decided to give number 2 to my mom Who is an NC40 And it does look beautiful on her But even she also has to use the light hand with this color So I picked up number 1 And then my mom also picked up number 3 So now I have 1, 2, and 3 to compare for you guys And I thought number 1 was going to be too pink I've only swatched it So I'm going to try it today for you guys Here's number 2 The difference between 1 and 2 is shocking, really And what's even more shocking is number 3 Which is lighter than number 2 So here's number 3 And here's number 2 So number 2 is deeper Number 3 you can see is more golden I wish in my review I had all 3 of these to show you guys But I wasn't about to buy 3 bronzers But here we are 3 bronzers lighter And I'm going to swatch these for you guys So you can see the differences in color and tone I don't know who made these colors or these colors Because it's weird So here is 1, here is 2, here is 3 So 2 and 3 are definitely darker And 1 I'm going to use today It's a little bit more pink 3 has a little bit more gold to it And this one is a little bit more red So if you're anything from a fair complexion To a light medium complexion I would recommend number 1 Depending on your undertone, of course That dictates things And then I would move to number 3 Especially if you like a more golden undertone And if you want a deeper, more red undertone Go number 2 This alone is part of the reason why I wanted to do this video So that I could update you on these day bronzers So I'm actually going to try number 1 I haven't tried it on my face yet But I'm excited to because I love the formula of these Number 2 was just crazy dark on me So let's try number 1 Oh my gosh you guys Much better I feel like I can comfortably use this bronzer now I'm going to use number 1 on this side And we'll try number 3 on the other I'm using a Sonia G face pro brush It definitely is a little bit more pink And I typically don't prefer that But it does add a little bit more of an actual sun burnt Kind of glow to the face So in that way it's more natural But the formula is killing it I definitely prefer this color So I'm going to try number 3 on this side Just to see the difference Okay, I mean use a light hand You still get a lot of pigment from that But after I work it out I prefer this tone I do I wish it was like a shade or two lighter So that it would compliment me better But I like the golden undertone that this has So here is shade 1 Here is shade 3 I made myself look a little bit dirty But I'm definitely much happier With having number 1 in my collection But number 3 is also very pretty But I think if you're a bit deeper than me I like number 3 a lot I think number 1 Is going to be good for those up to a light medium complexion If you're okay with the pinker undertone So I hope that was helpful I definitely wanted to get that information to you guys So we're going to move on to the eyes So that way I can use that to dictate what blush I use But I've been enjoying the Kaleidos tone activator eye primer They sent along their whole collection to me And I didn't really get back to you guys About what I thought about this But I've been using this a lot in my tutorials It's very watery And normally I like to use a synthetic brush to apply my bases But I do find that I prefer to use my finger to spread this out It just goes on much more smooth It gives you just a little bit of coverage to the lid Which I like And I wish they would come out with a deeper shade For those with a deeper complexion So it could be more natural But also if you have a deeper complexion This shade would work if you really want those colors to pop And I don't really have a problem With longevity of shadows But I haven't noticed anything bad with this primer As far as longevity goes But again, shadows stay pretty well on me So that hasn't been an issue But I really like it Just because it mutes out my eyelid And I can also use it for cut creases Because it's so thin It's very easy to work with So I've been enjoying this eye primer a lot I just wanted to share that with you guys So I'm going to go off Decide what to do Do one eye So it's quicker for me to explain to you guys A second eye So I'll be surprised We did a purple look Like I always do But I feel like I've done a pretty good job Of updating you guys And talking about palettes That I've tried these past couple months I feel like there hasn't been a ton of new palettes But there are two That I kind of want to circle back with you guys So this is the Melt Cosmetics She's in Parties Palette And then also the Elf and J.Kissa To the Rescue Palette I mixed colors from both palettes So starting off with the She's in Parties We're going to go with She's in Parties And this is a shimmer shade I don't think I used it in my tutorial Which is why I wanted to use it today And I like the shade Because it has a little bit of a red turn to it And you can actually use it in the crease I'm using it in the crease today And I gave this palette a sparkling review I think it has fantastic quality And I still do And you'll see I'm using this shimmer shade in my crease And it's applying so beautifully And a lot of times, you know, Melt can be inconsistent in their quality But I think from what I've tried from Melt And it hasn't been everything They've come out with But from what I've tried This is the best quality palette That I have experienced with them Which I think is awesome Because it's purples And purples are harder to create The only thing that I don't really like And I've got to be honest about this Is I don't like this color story It's just too dark and grungy for me When I say I like purples I like brighter purples More blue-based purples Lylaki purples For this palette You only have these four shades That are kind of light That I tend to gravitate for And then once you get into this region There's just so much depth in these shadows That I feel like they kind of do the same thing On the eye And there's just no real discrepancies Between the colors after you blend them out Because my skin tone is lighter I don't want to have so much depth on my eye So I'll blend the deeper shades out And when they're blended out They kind of just look the same So for me, it's not my color story If you have a deeper skin tone Or if you love the deep, dark, grungy, smoky eyes This is the palette for you The quality is there But I don't love the color story I don't feel comfortable reaching for this palette a lot I have to do a lot of blending And I'm really only gonna play with these colors up here With the refer number 14 brush We're going into mean streak And again, this shade is so packed with pigment It is so deep But it also blends out really nice You know, as a purple lover I want to love this palette And I do because the quality is great But there's only so many looks that I can create That I personally feel comfortable with So that's more so just a me problem But if you are like me As far as your taste and color preference I really feel like you might feel the same But that's just like I said It's a me problem The palette itself is a banging palette The Elf to the Rescue palette I dug in here because as you can see We have more like almost blue based purples here Just purples that I personally Prefer and feel more comfortable with So I'm going to start off with Sadie Just a matte shade And I'm going to apply that all over my lid So here's the thing with this palette I give it a pretty good review I did share with you guys that I did struggle With some colors in this palette And this palette is $20 And I think it's a nice palette for $20 I particularly love the colors that Jay Kista chose I love the arrangement of colors That like how she laid them out I think it makes it very easy for the beginner But just on Elf's part I mean these aren't the best quality shadows But for $20 I can justify that Because these are hard colors To create, to formula, to work with in general And if you are trying to sell it at a $20 price point It's hard to achieve, it is I'm going to go in with Confetti And I'm just going to apply that everywhere with my finger So just know that when you get this palette It's not going to be easy breezy Beautiful eye look like that You are probably going to struggle with some colors You're probably going to have some colors stick The quality is not the greatest But the price makes up for that in my opinion And I think for $20 It's worth it, you can still get beautiful look But that being said I do have the skill set where I am able To make colors work that aren't as easy to work with And if you don't have that type of skill set You might not be able to get this palette to work for you So you just need to judge based on your capabilities What you're willing to put up with for shadows Is it worth for you to pay more To get better quality, to not have to deal With what you need to do to get this to work Or are you never going to use these colors And you just want these to add pops And you're looking for an affordable way to do it This might be good for you Or if you do think you have the skill set And you want to spend only $20 on a product like this I would say go for it I think it's a good palette But just know what you're getting yourself into The last thing I'm going to do as far as shadow Is I'm taking Skeleton Kiss from the Melt palette And I'm using that as an inner corner highlight And just down here Do you see just how nicely The different tones of purple works? I really like this look a lot Now that it looks much different Than all of the other looks that I create But I like it So those are two palettes that I wanted to update you guys on Something else that I purchased from Charlotte Tolbury This past month is the Charlotte Tolbury The Feline Flick So this isn't a new product Like very very new But it's new to me I got the felt liner one I can't talk and do this So give me a second I do like this I don't know that I love a felt tip But it is a nice black eyeliner I get a lot of product that comes out There is a little bit of a shine to it It's not completely matte And the wearability is really great I mean, it's a liquid liner I like it I prefer I think my Pat McGrath to this one But I've been enjoying it It's nice I'm not mad that I picked it up I don't think I'd pay a full price for this again But if it was a sale Or like a gift with purchase kind of item I wouldn't regret having this Before I go to lashes and stuff Let's finish up the face makeup I gave a raving review About the Patrick Ta Double Take Cream and Powder Blush I only got one shade and she's that girl You guys, I love this I think it's incredible I still like to apply it the classic way So even though he does suggest you do powder first And then the cream for a more natural look I think it's a little bit softer for me And I feel like I have a little bit more control If I go in with the cream first So I like this cream because it's very subtle You can build it up though If you want a lot of color to show up But if you just lightly pat your sponge in here You can get a really nice natural wash And you don't need to put powder on top If you don't want to You can just use this as a cream blush You can use it however you like If I'm just feeling a cream look I'll just do this For video sake I am going to put the powder over But I'm so in love with this cream formula That I really just don't even care for the powder And the powder is good I feel like the powder in here is better Than his original powder formula And that could just be because I am layering this over The cream So I feel like this does need to have a lighter pigmentation But overall I was not impressed really With his powder blushes I thought they were okay I thought they were a little bit too sheer And what I prefer But these two working together I think are incredible And not only that Just the cream product is everything I talked about this in my $1,000 Sephora wishlist tag That I wanted to purchase more colors of this Because this wears beautifully It looks good I love the colors And I'm still so impressed Still loving this It's amazing I don't think I have a highlight Or anything to share with you guys So we'll stop the face makeup there And I'm just gonna take some of the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush Flawless setting spray And I definitely in my review said I want to wear this more So I can really tell you what I think And you guys I really love this So it doesn't give you a dewy finish As I thought it would But it actually helps more so with wear time So I'm quickly gonna spray it I love the scent first of all And then you can almost feel it Tightening your face When you apply it It's not uncomfortable But you can feel it working You know it's helping that makeup Stay in place longer And I swear you guys Whenever I wear this My makeup lasts longer I'm not even kidding I never really believed in Setting sprays like this But this works And it also presses the makeup together I would say it's a Not as heavy duty version Of the Urban Decay All nighter setting spray I don't know I feel like the Urban Decay Can be a little bit harsh Sometimes this one is not as harsh And it does add a very very Natural glow to the face But nothing crazy But what I've noticed this does Is it almost also like Smooths and perfects my makeup as well I feel like when I put this on My makeup looks smoother Just like it said it would And it also lasts better I think this is an amazing product You guys It's so good For mascara I actually got the Pat McGrath Labs Dark Star Mascara today So I'll try it on camera With you guys I didn't want to get a review up Right away on this For you guys Because I'm very picky About mascaras And I really hate mascaras On the first use So I just feel like It wouldn't be fair It wouldn't be accurate I want to use this For at least a week or two Before I give you guys an update But I thought I would do A first impressions For this video anyways The regular Pat McGrath mascara Is my favorite you guys So that's why I was Really excited about this one To see if it was better or not I'll probably also do A comparison with the normal one In my review video But for now I'm just going to quietly Apply this And I'll kind of tell you What I'm thinking So I want to say I did About a healthy two coats And you guys I think I like it So it's kind of Here's what the spoolie looks like It's like a comb Kind of spoolie Which I really like I feel like That helped separate my lashes I liked the way that it built I love how my lower lashes Are looking in particular It's kind of hard to tell The upper lashes Because of my Thick black liner That I have on my eyes But first impression I definitely do like it I want to do a side by side With the original mascara To really see what I think But for a first time Where this Dark Star mascara Is not bad But definitely want to Continue using it Because I have very very Tiny lashes So it takes a long time For me to decide What I think of a mascara But in case you were wondering There's my quick thoughts So I'm going to put on Some falsies Because this look requires Some falsies And then I'll go over The remainder products Okay lashes are on I went with my favorite Lily lashes In makeup by Samuel So I want to talk about Some lip products That I have thought To try over the last few weeks So again Back to the Petra top So with his new collection He came out with new colors of these I chose Oh She Single Which is a bit more of a muted brown I really like his lip liners They aren't my favorite formula In the world But I like the shape of his Lip liners They're kind of slanted So it's easy to apply Thicker and thinner in some areas You can kind of turn it To get the full application Or you can turn it again To just get a thinner line And I think this color is very nice It has a touch of warmth to it And he has a good lip liner formula It's not too creamy Not too waxy So I've used this a couple of times Since I mean I knew I like the formula to begin with But I also have been enjoying the color And then he also came out With the Oh She Single lipstick He had a few other colors This is the color that I picked up It's a bit more of a nude color It matches with the lip liner A little bit more pinky neutral But very pretty A very nice lipstick formula I had never tried a bullet formula from him This is the first time he came out with it I think he picked a very good formula This is matte So if you don't like matte lipsticks You won't like this But it's a very smooth Not too drying formula So again, I've still been enjoying this Charlotte Tilbury came out with a collection Of three kind of wedding themed lipsticks And I have to admit It's not my favorite release from her I have the three lipsticks swatched right here They're just not colors I personally would go for on a daily basis And also they're wedding themed And I do bridal makeup And I really wouldn't use these colors too often In my kit I feel like brides don't really ask for these colors And I wore them periodically in videos Just to get a feel for the colors And though I did like them I didn't love them If the colors speak out to you I mean definitely check out my review I do lip swatches and all of that But I just feel like these were really deep And I wouldn't use these for a wedding The quality is good, you know But I just found myself forcing myself To wear these colors So I could get a feel for them For you guys and for my videos But after I finished getting my feel for them I put them down And I haven't really reached for them since But again, Charlotte Tilbury has my favorite Lipstick formula So if you like the colors I do recommend And then the last item for this video I have these Maybelline Super Stay Matte Inks So I did pick up the other formula In this collection I haven't tried them yet So I'll have to continue to keep you guys updated But I have been loving these So these are from their coffee collection So these have a slight coffee scent They smell a little bit more syrupy to me I picked up two colors And I've never tried this formula from Maybelline And I have to say I'm very impressed It's a very thin formula It is drying because it is a matte formula Of course But if you just do a really thin layer It's quite comfortable So the first one that I have here Is Chai Genius And then I have Caramel Collector So I'm a big big coffee drinker Or a hot drink drinker I love Chai teas, matchas, lattes Anything under the sun The scent on these are not too strong So if you're sensitive to scents You're not going to be overwhelmed You definitely do smell them And as a coffee lover I want to smell them It doesn't smell like coffee But I'm gonna put on a little bit of Chai Genius This is not a new formula for Maybelline But it's new to me And I love it And it looks really good at this lip liner Gonna use my finger to pat out the rest So I don't build up too much of the product But really comfortable And once it sets down it's really good I've been enjoying that a lot I'm gonna zoom out really quickly Get myself together Get these swatches out with my arm And I'll be right back I hope you guys enjoyed the style of video It was really fun to just put on makeup And talk on camera I always feel much better When I update you guys on products Because I feel like I leave you hanging sometimes So let me know if you liked this video If you found it helpful If you aren't subscribed to my channel already I would appreciate it If you would take the time to do so And I will see you guys in the next one Bye guys, have a good one
