 Very highly requested video from many of you. I'm bringing you my top two products in every makeup category. Let's get into the video so you can see what my favorites are. Hello friends and welcome back to my channel. We are going to be doing a video that I actually think I did about a year and a half ago but I did the top three in drugstore. At the time it was such a great video because everybody was doing their top two and they were mostly centering on high-end which I you know I love my drugstore makeup. So this time what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you my very top two and I don't care whether it is all drugstore or whether it is all high-end it's all good. So we're going to get into that today and I'm going to put a timestamp right here where that video starts because we always talk about what I have on and many of you like to skip over that. So here's the timestamp go ahead and skip ahead. Okay so I have on today a really beautiful blue jersey knit long sleeve t-shirt. I also really like this shirt because of its neckline with the squared off neckline and the puff sleeve with the band right there. You can pull these up if you want to you know while we're still dealing with a little bit of the heat. The shirt is very long so you could wear it pulled completely down over your rear if you need to or you can just kind of brush it like I did up around my belly which kind of helps hide the belly just a little bit. And then I will share with you my earrings that I have on today is so much fun. I really loved that they were a bold statement earring just a really lightweight resin earring that I'm really in love with and they just they went perfect with this shirt and I just really liked them. Also I have a pretty new watch to me. I've been wearing it for about a week now. It is rose gold and it has the black detailing. Now last week it did bring you one that was silver and it had a little bit of rhinestones on it. I still have that one. I still love it. I think it's so pretty. But this is just a nice change. I like wearing watches. I know it's kind of outdated. Nobody wears watches anymore but I like wearing them. I have for years. And then also my rings, my fingernail polish, all of that will be listed and linked below. I do have kind of a fun duo chrome fingernail polish on today that will change colors as I move my hands around. And speaking of links, the way that I have my links below is with a numbered system. So as I go through the products today I will hold up that and a number will flash on the screen. You don't have to remember what this product is or what color I talked about or anything like that. You just have to remember the number that corresponds to it. Go down into the description box and look for the number next to that will be the name of the product, the link, any other information that you might need like on this shirt. I do wear a large so large will be there so you'll be able to see all of that. All right, that's the intro. I can't wait to get into all of these products with you today. Let's do this and keep in mind since we're doing every single makeup category, these are very speed reviews. Let's start out with lips because I always do lips very last and I want to start out with them today. So let's talk about lip liners. The two that I chose today were Anastasia Beverly Hills, her new reformulated lip liners and the LA Girls Shockwave lip liners. I'm in love with the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liners. They have a very long wear to them and the first one I have is in Dusty Rose. You guys know that I'm a Dusty Rose Burgundy person but I wanted to show you these. This is a Dusty Rose so this is a little bit more of a it's a stiffer formula than the other ones that I'm going to show you here in a second. This one is in Blackberry and I love Blackberry because it's got that hint of plum in it and when it's on your lips it just gives you a beautiful line. These stay a long time especially if you don't wear a gloss. I find that if I wear a gloss which I do every day all the time but I find that if I don't wear a gloss these stay on longer. So those are all kinds of fun. The other one are the LA Girl Shockwave and the first one and this is the one that I actually have on today. This one is called Mauve and it's the one that I just used all the way around my lips to fill them in just a little bit on the edges as well and then the other one is called Rosewood and so these are very mauve-y tones that you're going to find that I like the mauve-y tones yes. I'm not a very warm toned person but if you do find anything in this line that you like of the Shockwave from LA Girl they have liners and they have these they're very very good. I really do like them for even filling in and wearing just as a lip color too. The next lipstick that I tried is also from Anastasia Beverly Hills. It's just called the Satin Lipstick and this one is in Haze and I will tell you I do have this one on in the middle of my lips today. This is an extremely super light beige colored. I mean this is like the 60s beige that we saw so much of being that just the nude you know just the beige that gives a highlight. It is so light so please keep that in mind if you're somebody that likes a lot of color in their lipsticks there's not a lot of color in this particular one. The other colors are very saturated and they're very nice but this is the color that I picked because I love to wear this with a liner with a little bit of gloss on it like I am today and then I feel like I've got a really pretty pinky nude color to go with any dramatic eye that I want to wear. Covergirl just came out with these new hyaluronic lipsticks. The first one is called Elegant Nude. These do have the the core in it that's the moisturizing core so that's really nice. You get the extra moisturization with that. So this color is like a your lips but better kind of a peachy pink color and then the other color is precocious mauve. To me they're not really even a satin. They're more along the lines of cream so even though they say satin that's what they are. Now gloss I did not have any gloss that was new to me but I definitely wanted to show you what I'm falling in love with which is I've discovered that I either love to have a gold or kind of a orangey peachy color on top of my pink lipsticks and it just brightens them up and it just shows them off so well. So this one is the Maybelline Lifter Gloss and this is a new one that I got. This one is called Crystal. I'll just put it across here and you're going to be able to see it a little bit the color a little bit. So beautiful on that one and then this one is the one that I show all the time and this one is Money from Sephora and these are called the Gloss Glossed Glosses and the reason that I like money so much is it's a dual chrome. Actually I'll just pop some right here again on my lips. It shows off like a pink gold cast to it. It is so beautiful and I have just absolutely fallen in love with it. I wish that they had more of these dual chrome colors in those but any of those glossed glosses they're not super sticky. They're not super heavy weight on your lips and that and the Maybelline Lifter Glosses both of them are super great glosses. The two eyeshadow primers that I've tried that I really like so much this year are the Rare Beauty Eyeshadow Primer and then the Jason Woo. Now the Rare Beauty is a very thin formula and it doesn't have a lot of opacity to it. It really hugs the eyelids and really holds onto the eyeshadow and that is the biggest thing that I love about it. So good. The Jason Woo one this one is almost a white one. Now I do think that this might come in different colors so this one is almost white and I wear it just to brighten up that eye. It grips, it brightens. Any tube of eye primer it's going to take me a very long time to go through so both of these are fantastic and I love them. Eyebrow products I really don't have anything new to share with you. I do know that Ulta is kind of having a shortage of their brow gel but I love so much. The reason that I love this is look at that spoolie. It is like less than a third of the size of even the micro spoolies that you get like from ELF or Essence or any of them like the Gimmie Brow not Gimmie Brow the Boy Brow from Glossier that started all of this so it's very very tiny and that's why I like it. It builds up really well and holds them in place. Your eyebrow hair in place so well. It's really nice and you can put it right down on the skin and I just love this for doing my eyebrows but I also absolutely love the NYX micro brow. It's been one that I've loved forever. It has a spoolie on one end and then the brow product is a super teeny tiny pencil that you can you know actually have brow strokes show up in your eyebrows instead of it just filling in. So these are two of my very favorites. They're very long lasting and I love both of them. And then for mascara oh my goodness. I have just discovered two mascaras that I am really really loving. Now today I have on the Milani Anti Anti Gravity mascara and this one has a silicone brush and it's the Hourglass but it's not as big as some of them and I also find that because it's not the natural bristle or you know like a regular brush. It really really separates and it really gets to them very long and it's getting clear down to the base of your lashes. I'm really in love with it and it's actually what I have on today and boy did it make my eyelashes super long to find them even gave a lot of fullness to it. The other one that I really like so much is the Professional from Makeup Forever. I just barely got this one about a week ago and I fell in love with it just immediately and for two reasons. It's got a two-step system here. The first one is that tiny micro spoolie that we all love to catch the eyelashes right underneath our eyes. It just works so well. I really do love it for separating and the fact that it is so tiny is just perfect for defining your eyelashes. It's just so good and then you follow up with step two which is the other side which is the more natural bristles like the Christmas tree wand. It's very plain but this really builds a great volume in your eyes and I actually almost like to do the volume side first so I actually like to do it a little bit in reverse step two and then step one and make them look a lot more thick than they really truly are. Love these and then for eyeshadow, oh my goodness, I really struggled with this one because I've tried so many good palettes in the year but I had to put my most affordable one at the Smokin' Roses. This one it just stole my heart. I love wearing this. It's got all the berry tones that I love in it but you know what else it has. It has such a versatile look to it. You have a whole row right here that is just mauves. Then your pinks and then you've got some like peaches in here and then you've got the berries and then you've got a neutral one over here and then you've got the darker shades over here. All of these along the bottom are so good for just defining the outer part of your eye. There's beautiful transition shades in here. I love the peach. I love the pink. They're just this is so good. The quality is fantastic. It stands out to me as one of the best palettes that I have tried in a very long time. As far as I'm concerned it just hit it out of the park. The quality of these shadows are phenomenal and they're buttery. They just blend really well even the ones that are super dark that sometimes people have a little bit of a problem with them being patchy. They aren't at all. Now for my higher-end choice I knew I was going to have to put this in here because this Cinderella palette is so much fun for me. Now I did do a combination of the two together today of these on my eye but the Cinderella palette is it's the colors in it that really I love and I love that they give you a full-size brush in here but the shadows in here are so amazing. Now I do have this little blue right here just a tiny bit on my lid right there and then I put a tiny bit of this blue just to add a little bit of dimension out there and then some others from the smoke and roses palette. Have any of you guys discovered that Sigma has some of the best shadows I've ever seen and they did just come out with an Alice in Wonderland palette and they sent it to me in PR and I almost fell over. It's just so pretty I can't wait to share it with you guys but this one is the one that I've tried so far and this one is got all the yumminess that you need for color and just really covers you so well if you're somebody that really likes to play with color. Any of these would look beautiful on the lid for the shimmer and then to darken the outer V just to give you a little bit of color and mixed with a neutral it oh so beautiful it just works so nice and I really love this palette. Last thing on the eyes are the eyeliners. Now I want to tell you that I have fallen in love with the pen liners from Sephora so these are called the Colorful Winkit liners they're waterproof and this one right here let's see what color this one is in Midnight Navy. This is the one that I actually have on my top lash line today. This other one is called Army Babe it's a green so pretty they just they're very saturated they're so easy they line so well they last all day I really love those and then the other Sephora liners that I have are the retractable waterproof ones and I love these too they're so good so this first one is called Olive I really liked it it's just kind of an olive green color and these are very long wearing as well the other one is called Shimmer Tope. This one is beautiful this is actually the one I have on my outer lash line on the bottom and then the last one is called Glitter Green and it has have just a teeny tiny bit of glitter in it but it kind of just picks up the eye and just really has a beautiful color on there. This green is so pretty for so many women to wear if you have brown eyes if you have hazel eyes just a beautiful color for women to wear. Now those that I chose from Sephora are pretty darned affordable but these I also chose from LA Girl these are the ultimate eye intense state auto liners I love these as well they're so so good. This first one is called Totally Teal. I also love these because it is a little bit more of a fine point and they're they're just so good they stay on for a very long time. The next one is called Perpetual Purple. This one is not like a really bright purple so it's more of a muted almost violet and then the last one that I have is a brown and it is called Lasting Brown and so these are all great they don't tug on the eye they're so comfortable they last a long time these ones would probably be your better bet to wear in your waterline between the two I think that almost the LA Girl would last longer. Oh my goodness no matter what you choose you're going to find a color that you really like. Alright that wraps it up for the eye let's talk a little bit about complexion. I want to talk first about primers the new primer that I've tried that I've absolutely fallen in love with is from L'Oreal and it's the Age Perfect Blurring Face Primer Infused with Caring Serum. Not only do I love this because it creates the barrier between your foundation and your moisturizer so your foundation doesn't get modeled with your moisturizer or anything. I love it because of the tiny bit of silicone I feel in there actually it's not a tiny bit it's pretty good amount this is a very hydrating slash blurring product. I can feel the dimethicone in here it's definitely got that silicone base in it I really like it for that but at the same time it doesn't feel heavy like so many of them do it just feels super light on my skin and yet it fills in the pores and blurs and just makes my makeup look so perfected. And then from Rare Beauty I absolutely love this illuminating primer that she has it's so amazing. I love the original too but the the illuminating one gives you just a tiny bit of glow at the same time so I can really feel how hydrating this is but then you're just left with this beautiful lit from within gorgeous look to your skin so this is so good and it does the same thing as primers are supposed to do which is fill in pores make your skin look perfected and create a barrier between your moisturizer and your foundation and so good I love it. Neither of these pill up underneath my makeup I just think they're so great. Then for foundation oh my goodness okay first let me show you the one that I have been trying forever okay Denessa Myricks Yummy Skin Serum Foundation. If you have oily skin you probably won't like this but as we're going into the drier months with the winter coming on you would love this if you're anywhere from combo to dry skin. This is such a beautiful perfecting yet radiant foundation it's very not quite glowy but it definitely has that property of being able to perfect and just have your skin look so good super long wearing coverage is good feels so good on your skin it is that serum so it's lightweight I really like this one but like I said if you're oily you might not like it and then for the past five days I have been wearing nothing but what I've got on my face today and I have fallen in love with this. Patrick Todd just came out with his new foundation and setting powder in a compact like he has all of his other products where he has the divider in there now believe it or not this one is light medium and it's number three but this I am in love with I love the pan makeup in here a tiny tiny bit goes a long way now I've been raving about the new wing goss foundation but it's been out of stock forever this one works almost identical to it it just perfects my mature skin and really blurs out those pores and sets like a dream it looks beautiful on my mature skin and then the powder it's just a beautiful creamy powder that sets everything down and blurs everything out this is the winner in my book I really have been enjoying it a new color pop pretty fresh pressed powder is amazing I oh my gosh I love this stuff okay it is so darn close to the Charlotte Tilbury it's it is really close to the Charlotte Tilbury airbrush powder I think it's very buttery it's very refined it blurs pores it keeps the oil at bay so I just love this powder and I think that at its price point if you wanted to try the Charlotte Tilbury but you can't afford it and you've heard all the hype this is so so good and then the other one that I chose is from Jaway this is the hydrate and their hydrate and set powder this one is in the translucent one I have pretty good divot going on here but what is interesting about this is it's like a no powder powder Dior has one that says that I think it says no powder something anyway it's a lot like that but I feel like this one is even lighter than that this one also comes in colors so if you don't like the translucent you can get it in your color and it's very forgiving as far as the colors go too I can go from the fair clear to the medium and it looks fine because it really does just buff out really pretty but it's so so light and it feels like there's hardly anything there and it's so smooth and it does have that claim of being hydrating so it doesn't dry me out like some powders do as well so this has been a winner in my book the two concealers that I chose are full coverage concealers I love both of these and the Shiseido is one that I tried after last year trying the Synchro Skin Foundation that I fell in love with I had to try their concealer and it is so so good this like I said is full coverage and it just blends out underneath my eyes like a dream and if you use the technique that I talked about in a video a while ago which I will make sure I link that for you but if you use that technique this is going to give you beautiful coverage it's what I have on today and then I did just take a little bit of the other one which is the Sephora Best Skin Ever I've been using this for three weeks I've put it in into a couple videos already and yes this is easily in my top concealers of the year this is full coverage it's a little bit lighter of a formula than the Shiseido one but it definitely does its job it's so pretty what's really nice about a quality concealer is it really doesn't matter if you get your your color on spot on even today you can tell that that is a little bit yellow on the Shiseido and it's what I'm wearing it doesn't matter because it really just blended in and it did its job so this is beautiful the other one is a very cool tone which I did pick up I do have another one of these that's more of a neutral and I mixed the two of them so both of these they do such a great job like I said the really the only difference is that the Sephora one is a little bit lighter of a formula thinner of a formula but it covers like a dream and but neither of them crease on me during the day of course that has to do a lot with that concealer routine that I was talking about and how I choose to set my concealer the two setting sprays that I fell in love with this year are the color pop no filter setting mist no alcohols in this but it sets down your makeup and I believe it's because of the caffeine in it but it does help keep any breakthrough or oil at bay for you so this is so good I set my under eyes with it I use both of these that I'm going to show you to set my under eyes and then set all of the makeup and I do like the mister on both of these they're fairly fine I do have a fan on above me so the mister on a setting spray is very important to me and the new mac fix plus stay-over alcohol-free lung lasting setting spray I'm so glad that they finally came out with this because I am an absolute avid fan of the fix plus which is basically a priming spray I use that constantly when I'm blending out my makeup but this helps to set your makeup no alcohol again if you are a mature woman and you have dry skin you know that alcohol is not your friend so thank goodness that neither one of these have any alcohol in them but again we're talking about a very very fine mist and it's all getting sprayed straight down because of my fan but yes this is a very very fine mist and I am so glad that they came out with this I'm in love with it all right for the category of contour and bronzer I'm kind of combining those because I feel like a couple of the products I have could go for both such as this Patrick Ta this one is really good it has both of them in here and again he has his cream product over here this is a beautiful cream contour it's got that muddy property that you want in a contour that dull shadowy look to it that's what you want a contour to get your areas that you don't want to be protruding to recede like my hi-hi forehead but this color right here which is the powder is a really nice warming up powder to go over top of it and really warm up my face afterwards so the quality of these are so good um he does a great job of these I love his blushes as well but I tried the contour slash bronzer this year and fell in love with it too the other one that I have to show you that I love for a contour as well is a cream contour from folklore in the form of a stick and this is the one that I have on today and I really love how muddy and beautiful this is when you're again when you're looking for a contour you want it to be muddy like that it just works so well and if I was going to grab another bronzer I wanted to show you this beautiful palette from Ulta that I've absolutely fallen in love with this year half of the pen is bronzer but it is not a super warm bronze it's a beautiful bronzer that just gives a really warm look without being orange at all it just it works so well for me this one's called Santorini Sun and then this rose color blush in here so beautiful as well it's just a really beautiful powder blush and then the highlighter oh my goodness the highlighter is just a really beautiful beaming highlighter as well they did a great job on this three pan baked palette they have several colors that you can choose from you don't have to choose this particular combination you can get others but this is such a good palette I love all of the products in there they just they've worked so well for me and then the powder blush formula that I chose was the maxi blushes from Rimmel I had third base and I had rendezvous but then I got the other two and it doesn't matter which one of these you choose they're so pretty I'm just gonna show you this brightest one which is wild card and I just I stick my finger in here and it feels like the highest end blush that you could ever get it just is so beautiful and they're so creamy they last forever on your cheeks and it doesn't matter if you have very very light skin or very very dark skin here's the one that is called rendezvous this is one that I think dark skin would look so beautiful on I can wear this one too though I love to just buff them out so that they're a light wash but such creamy beautiful powder for powder formulas I just think that you will absolutely love those I also had to put both cream and powder blushes in here I'm a blush fanatic I absolutely love blush but Lys came out with their cream blushes first of all look at the pan it's a huge pan I don't know if I'll ever get through that but the colors are so creamy and they wear so well on your cheeks this color is called self love it's just kind of a rosy toned color it's really pretty I really like it a lot and these they came out with a bunch of different new colors I really want to try some new ones as well beautiful tones to them they don't look weird when you put powder over them some cream blushes will look strange when you put powder over them but this is just beautiful I love these blushes the other ones that I absolutely love are the new putty blushes that are the luminous formula from elf oh my goodness okay this first one is the one that I'm wearing today and it's called Bermuda it's kind of just a really peachy pink tone I think it's so pretty I absolutely love these they just they go on so well and they really last a long time the other one I have I have a bunch of them but I just wanted to show you these two this one is Bart's this one is beautiful as well this is more along the lines of a rose an actual rose color they're just so gorgeous but they have this luminosity to them that is really pretty on your cheeks so the one from Lys is more of a matte formula whereas these are more of just a tiny bit of a luminous formula they're not glowy they're just gorgeous on your cheeks I really love them and then last but not least my choices for highlighter first of all the sungasm from Catrice look at the size of this stinking pan oh my goodness it's a huge pan but that highlighter is so beautiful and so beaming and it's absolutely gorgeous now you don't have to wear it that beaming but you can if you want to it's just one of those ones that you can buff out or you can make it look just stark and gorgeous and beautiful on anybody's skin I am wearing this one though from Sephora today and this one is the golden hour highlighter duo from Sephora this one came out this year as well both of these are just pretty pretty highlighters I actually like the one on this side a little bit better than this side I don't know why I guess the one on this side is a little bit less of a beaming highlight this one's super highlighting so just be aware of that they do have a bunch of different colors in this one as well you could actually use the one on this side again for finishing powder where you just hit the high points on your face if you wanted to so pretty I love the quality of them they are outstanding you saw so many Sephora collection products in my video today I love that line I think it's just one of those lines that is way overlooked definitely think about trying some of these products from the Sephora collection they're that good all right that wraps up the video I know I went really fast through it but I didn't want the video to get too long I know there are products that you've tried this year so far that you're absolutely in love with and I need you to tell me about those down in the description box or down in the comment section so that we can all get a little bit of a discussion going and be able to throw around ideas I love hearing
