Curious about your necklaces. I tried zooming in but it gets too blurry to make out details. Could you please give a brief description & a link to them? Thx😊
Right? Honestly, when it’s a few dollars off or there’s an extra like a makeup bag I can maybe see where the value differs a little bit but it feels like there are so many values that are off this time!
I love when you post these videos. It's fun watching break down the actual price. Btw I need a tutorial of this eye makeup and hair. You always look so pretty Andrea 🤩❤️
I think sometimes the full value being slightly off for a set that includes minis can be because the brand themselves values mini’s at a slightly higher value per oz than the full size product. There’s a potential reasoning in how the packaging probably costs almost the same for a mini as it does for the full size so the value isn’t going to completely translate proportionally - but this is all speculation on my part lol Could just be because corporations are gonna be greedy.
Great couple of videos! I'm 59 and I love when you do the cost breakdowns...I think everyone is always so tempted by the minis and it's not always the best way to go. I also appreciate how well spoken you always are..and how you never play with your hair! It's so annoying and distracting to watch some of these vlogs on here and see the women constantly fondle their hair...lol
Hi Andrea! I bought the Sol De Jeneiro holiday set a few days ago, I paid $34, so they raised the price by $6, just in the last few days!!! I grabbed 2 of the Tower 28 lip balms too! Shopping (Xmas)done!!!👍
Thank you for breaking these down!!! I really wish that the Sephora favorites sets that have makeup wouldn't have a kind of peachy shade choice so often, it seems like so much of the sets have a warm-toned lipstick/gloss and blush. It would be nice if they did something like a deep brown, or purple toned choice or red instead, or have at least two kits with different shade options.
I used to use my hands for toners and essences but I now put it into a clean mini spray bottle that I got from another product and spray it directly onto your face and then press it in. It’s made things less messy.
So glad I caught your video earlier today, didn't have time to comment then but paused the video and immediately bought the kosas mini blush set! I am in Canada these sets sell out so fast here, I have had to toss two full size kosas products that were barely used, the setting powder and the bronzer. Since then I just paused all my kosas purchases. I really wanted to try the blushes but the fact that they go bad so quickly kept me from purchasing. The mini products are the perfect way to try out 3 colours of blush, the formula and hopefully get at least half a year use before they go bad.
So for me, because i didnt wear make up for 8 years i need to grow my collection. I started in the drugstore, skipped ulta, went to sephora, because otherwise I'd end up in the drugstore area anyway. I got core higher quality products to fill in gaps. I use these sets to do this as well. Im fair, so most shades work for me, plus Im adventurous. I love neutrals and color, so, for me, when I see missing value, as long as i have full size majority of products, and I'm using them I will let that "uncounted for value" slide, because I find value in trying new brands. The packaging on minis also costs money, Like the 3 kosas blushes. Am I getting a free make up bag, or a voucher? Also, for a product like the saie sunglow highlighter for dark skin, I use it like a bronzing drop in my foundation. I mix everything on the back of my hand first anyway to mix and prime my brushes!!❤😊
Yes! Love that perspective! It’s such a nice way to try some different products and brands. 💗 I’m curious to see what Saie will launch this year because I really like their products too. Thanks for sharing!
@@AndreaMatillano OMG!! Did u see the tarte sets that r up the 99.00 ten piece set for 252.00 value lip collectors set wow and there's a bunch more!! On sephora
I paused to go order that kosas baked blush kit!! I’ve been dying to try them out, so, I’m super excited to get 3 shades!! I’m fortunate that I have 2 daughters whose skin tones are a little fairer than mine.. so, they look great in a lot of shades I don’t!
I appreciate the math you do for us. I really use the info. You share before I go and make purchase. Thanks for the hard work you do to make it easy for us.
I travelled far and wide to get that tower 28 lip set 😂 it was the one holiday set I wanted and found it while tripping around over thanksgiving weekend. They are not gritty at all like some of the reviews say. The colours are perfect for fall and winter! I also picked up the kosas blush set. I returned Butterflies when they came out but mine was so bright and not like the tester I swatched in store. But for the price and the other two blushes in the set I felt it was worth it. I still like the shade just not what I was looking for specifically.
Subscription sister's RUclips channel opened the Sephora advent & showed all products & liked it. I'm not going to get it but thank you for sharing all this and breaking it down too Hun!! Awesome ❤❤❤
Thank you for doing the math for us! I bought the Tower 28 lip set since they’re smaller to try them out. I’m thinking about the advent calendar mostly for the full size products and then I’m considering everything else to be freebies.
Thanks for the breakdown of costs. I have been looking at the sets off and on all say trying to decide. Good reminder to look at cost per ounce. I think I have my mind set now.
I have a miniature beauty blender that I got in a Macy's bag, and they're not something you could use for foundation. They're a bit smaller than the Real Techniques mini sponges, which I use to blend my concealer only. Perfect size for the under eye area, maybe around nostrils, but really too small to be useful for foundation blending.
Lawless has come out with that plumper set 3 years in a row and I'm OBSESSED w the bitten shade, I wish they would just sell it solo as those other shades dont interest me/look to similar to other existing shades :/
That sol de Janeiro kit was in my cart and I’m really happy I saw this video before purchasing. I was just taking their word on the value but I’ll definitely be more cautious from now on❤
You look extra extra pretty in this video i love your hairstyle ❤ also thank you for still using the full price calculation instead of using the inflated mini prices, i personally feel that the full size prices are more accurate. Also how are so many of these sets coming up with these random values when they dont even sell them as minis???? 😐
I know right? I can definitely see where the higher value comes from when they offer the minis but when it's a newer product not even offered as a mini I have no idea how they get these values. 😂 Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I really appreciate it!
Ahhh thank you so much! 🥰 I actually used some of the shades from the Natasha Denona I Need a Warm! On the lips I used Fenty’s Hot Chocolit over ColourPop’s Cool BFF. I can definitely film a video. 🥰
@@AndreaMatillano thank you so much!! I will get it all 😍 And please, if you can make a tutorial it will be amazing! I also really want to know the face products and how you applied them 😬🥰🥰🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a well-thought-out and informative video. Thanks for taking the time to be so detailed. It will help so many people make informed decisions regarding their purchases!
Love watching these & so appreciate you doing all the math. Very tempted by the Kosas blush set--blush is my fave so I get most excited about trying different formulas/shades of blush. The Sol de Janeiro kit is ridiculous! (eyeroll)
I saw the lip softies and almost ordered them, but then I saw that several reviews said that the formula can get gritty. Has that happened to you, Andrea? Or anyone else in the comments? They look super cute, but grittiness is a definite no for me! 😂 Thanks so much for this video!!
I know we're in fall now but I needed body wash and I like Tree Hut. I couldn't help myself and bought Watermelon. Isn't that a Summer scent? I bought watermelon shave oil, too. I had that one before. I love watermelon and pink hibiscus. You know a good conditioner? I keep repurchasing it. Kristen Ess unscented shine enhancing conditioner. It's$1 an ounce. So silky. I know your talking about holiday gift sets. I already saw this video. Just having fun and letting you know about the conditioner and the shave oil. Especially pink hibiscus. Gorgeous scent. I'll behave now and ginish rewatching the video! Stay true
I've got lip balms coming out my ears but I do love them, lol. We don't get alot of Tower28 in the UK, but if it comes here I might be tempted as would like to try them. Really hoping the Kosas trio comes to the UK too as I really want to try that formula and the mini sound idea. I usually pick up the Fenty set every year but might give it a miss this time.
I kind of wish I hadn’t bought the 2 Kosas blushes I have in that set - but I’ve been using them regularly since July so not really. But I would have liked to get them in minis plus try the purpley one!
Thank you so much!!! I think I like some of these options better than the Sephora favourites kits- I have a few items from each of those kits so I just don’t feel it worth it! May or may not shop one of these- the Sol De Janeiro one was a shocker tho! 😮
That’s what happened to me this time around too! I always get excited to see what the individual brands release, but I do have quite a few of the products in some of the sets. I’m excited to see what else come up with over the next few weeks! Isn’t the Sol de Janeiro one so surprising? I don’t really know how they get away with attaching such an inaccurate value. That’s what always confuses me!
I love the February glosses but damn it’s frustrating that the applicator only goes down 1/2 way. You end up leaving 50% of the product behind or taking out the restrictor and making a mess. Wish they’d fix that.
On the Kosas set they must be saying that the bag has a value. So I think that may be why their figures were higher idk. It doesn’t look very big like a tote bag or anything.
I was really wanting the Cay Skin Lippie set or the Tower 28 set, but I ended up purchasing the Ouia set with a mini scalp & body scrub, a full size body lotion, and a full size body wash, all in the St. Barts scent. I have never tried Ouia or smelled them before, but I was in the market for a new body wash and I looked at the amounts and prices, and it does appear to be accurate (for what they sell the mini scrub for, and the two full size items). It was $59 for an $84 value and I am definitely excited to give it a try! I thought it was a pretty good deal for the set in total. I also bought a hair and body mist set at Ulta for Kopari, that had all 4 of their new summer scents. I really love mini fragrances because I don’t go through them often (I work from home so I don’t leave the house a lot LOL) and I love hair and body lists because perfumes are too pungent for me, it causes headaches. I can’t wait for them both to come in!
I would say I really love the Glow Recipe Plum Plump because it is hydrating and leaves a slight glow without being over the top! I’m also really loving the Byoma moisturizer. I’m blanking on the name, but it comes in a blue bottle. It’s very moisturizing, but it leaves more of a satin finish so that’s great on super hot days or when I want more of a matte finish!
So for the sol de Janiero you got $20 value, my calculation was different. 3oz= $25 $25/3= $8.33 per oz $8.33* 4 (1oz products )= $33.33 So technically the product isn’t worth $40 as Sephora suggests, it’s only $33.33 value so you’re saving nothing. The only positive is you can try multiple scents.
Lip sets can absolutely be worth it. Like you said, the color variety is nice, and I always wind up tossing lip products before they are gone. Just an FYI the Grande Lash Serum is great, the mascara is horrid. I am not a fan of Sol De Janeiro. Too sweet. You smell yourself coming and going.
Super good to know about that mascara! I’ve seen it a few times and I was wondering if it would be worth trying. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 💗
Maybe Sol de Janerio is testing the waters on how much they can increase their body sprays. Based on the inflated prices, that could mean they might double the price of the sprays to $79 or keep the same price of $38 but decrease the size to 4oz. And if these kits sell out, why wouldn’t the company increase the price or lower the amount like Mac did with their face and body 😞
That definitely makes sense! I feel like their larger body sprays are a pretty good deal compared to other brands so I could definitely see them raising the prices! 😭
I certainly won't be getting anything. I only do my shopping in the leftovers of the January sales, because I don't celebrate christmas I don't have presents to buy anyone else. I will try and get a glow recipe kit for sure, as I love Glow Recipe, I also got one for my mums birthday last year. The Kosas blush set looks lovely too, I like the addition of the tote bag
I usually end up wishing I waited until right after the holiday season too because you can get some really great deals on the sets! Definitely check out Glow Recipes website too because I think they have even more kits over there!
@@AndreaMatillano sweety I watch your videos, I just don't comment much like I did 4 years ago, because on another channel a person said my comments were as long as a story book. Not the person of the video, just another subscriber, so I don't comment much on makeup videos anymore 😞
So, how do you like the Need a Warm Palette. I lile it a lotbut I suddenly starting using I Need a Nude. Wierd? Wasn't into that palett too much. My ribs hurt but tolerable,not as bad. My neck is real bad. Going through therapy for my wrist and that is very painful. Its going to be s long road gor me. I'm strong and resilient.
I have to start with how gorgeous you look!!! Pretty pretty lady! Thank you for these videos. Honestly, I couldn’t be bothered to do all the breaking down of the sets, but I am so glad that you are bothered with it because it really helps me when deciding what I’m gonna get. Thank you. !!! ❤
I always calculate it based on the price and the amount sold in a full-size bottle since brands can tend to inflate the value of minis! I might not have mentioned that in this video or I might have cut it out because I was so long-winded!
PSA: the Lawless mini lipglosses are NOT worth it! The doe foot is way too small to give the glossy effect of the full-size! I wish they did a set of the full-size!! these are my favorite videos of the whole year. I love doing sooooooo much research to make sure I am getting the BEST deal possible.
You are right about that tiny doe foot 😂 I took the stopper out of my mini so I could get a good gloop out, lol. I don't need to travel with it, so it worked out.
Thank YOU for doing the math!!! I’m referring to the Tower 28 set saying it’s worth $32, I am guilty for believing what Sephora tells me…this kinda sucks, I hope it was a typo (tho the numbers you came up with are very different so likely not a typo). I don’t want to lose respect for Sephora, however the greedy will do anything for a good or bad for a dollar 😢

I love how you break down the actual retail value because I have no idea where these companies come up with the exaggerated retail value.
Right? Honestly, when it’s a few dollars off or there’s an extra like a makeup bag I can maybe see where the value differs a little bit but it feels like there are so many values that are off this time!
I really think they pull an inflated “retail value” out of thin air because they know the average customer is not going to do the math.
This video was SO much work....thank you for doing all this research so we can have that knowledge before buying!!
Of course! I’m just so glad that it can be helpful in any possible way! 💗 Thank you for taking the time to watch.
with the sol de janeiro ones, on the actual site the mini perfumes are 10 dollars each. so yes it would be 40 dollars in value..
I was on the fence of the tower 28 lip set, but after your breakdown of the pricing, I’d rather buy a full size of a color I like 💜💜💜💜 Thank you!!!!
Thank you so much for your comment! I’m really glad I could help! 💗 Their lip balms are so nice.
I wish brands did more mini everything! I love minis. They are adorable
You’re the first to talk about this brand specific sets! So awesome to see them! Thanks! 😘
I appreciate you watching! 💗

Could just be because corporations are gonna be greedy.
That is accurate. You don’t get a much lower price to make a smaller tube or compact so the pricing by volume of product just isn’t accurate at all.

I know your talking about holiday gift sets. I already saw
this video. Just having fun and letting you know about the conditioner and the shave oil. Especially pink hibiscus. Gorgeous scent. I'll behave now and ginish rewatching the video! Stay true
I've got lip balms coming out my ears but I do love them, lol.
We don't get alot of Tower28 in the UK, but if it comes here I might be tempted as would like to try them.
Really hoping the Kosas trio comes to the UK too as I really want to try that formula and the mini sound idea.
I usually pick up the Fenty set every year but might give it a miss this time.
I kind of wish I hadn’t bought the 2 Kosas blushes I have in that set - but I’ve been using them regularly since July so not really. But I would have liked to get them in minis plus try the purpley one!
Thank you so much!!! I think I like some of these options better than the Sephora favourites kits- I have a few items from each of those kits so I just don’t feel it worth it! May or may not shop one of these- the Sol De Janeiro one was a shocker tho! 😮
That’s what happened to me this time around too! I always get excited to see what the individual brands release, but I do have quite a few of the products in some of the sets. I’m excited to see what else come up with over the next few weeks! Isn’t the Sol de Janeiro one so surprising? I don’t really know how they get away with attaching such an inaccurate value. That’s what always confuses me!
Omggg your hair! I loveee it❤
Ahhh thank you so much! 🥰
Yay! I got a notification for this video!!! I’m back❣️❣️❣️🤣😂
That makes me so happy! Thank you so much for watching! 🥰
@@AndreaMatillanoI’m so grateful to be here❣️
Love the breakdown. Thanks
I love the February glosses but damn it’s frustrating that the applicator only goes down 1/2 way. You end up leaving 50% of the product behind or taking out the restrictor and making a mess. Wish they’d fix that.
Thank you for this video and the information. Take care and stay safe. ❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you have a great week!
Happy Sunday Everyone
I hope you have a great week!

Thanks for the upload!!🥰
Thank you for watching! 🥰
Your hair is freaking gorgeous! Great video ❤️
Thank you so much for your kind comment!
i have 2 of the most fav perfume and smells amazing they tell me what u use image 😍😍
Oh no! I bought the Sol de Janerio kit the day it came out on Sephora and didn’t even check the value!
I might need that lawless set I have one, I love the formula but not the shade
I like that there’s really good variation between the shades! Their formula really is so nice.
On the Kosas set they must be saying that the bag has a value. So I think that may be why their figures were higher idk. It doesn’t look very big like a tote bag or anything.
The mini BB is TINY
I have bought the fenty mini sets in the past, and the minis last a while. I also have a weakness for lipgloss so I have a lot already.
Yes! I really love the mini sets when it comes to Fenty so I’m hoping they do one this year!
Interesting - I use toner EVERY NIGHT! It helps my moisturizer sort of absorb.
You look so pretty in this video….LOVE the top!😊
Thank you so much for your kind comment! 💗
@@AndreaMatillano You're very welcome!
I was really wanting the Cay Skin Lippie set or the Tower 28 set, but I ended up purchasing the Ouia set with a mini scalp & body scrub, a full size body lotion, and a full size body wash, all in the St. Barts scent. I have never tried Ouia or smelled them before, but I was in the market for a new body wash and I looked at the amounts and prices, and it does appear to be accurate (for what they sell the mini scrub for, and the two full size items). It was $59 for an $84 value and I am definitely excited to give it a try! I thought it was a pretty good deal for the set in total. I also bought a hair and body mist set at Ulta for Kopari, that had all 4 of their new summer scents. I really love mini fragrances because I don’t go through them often (I work from home so I don’t leave the house a lot LOL) and I love hair and body lists because perfumes are too pungent for me, it causes headaches. I can’t wait for them both to come in!
Thank you for the hard work putting this video together! I'm definitely waiting for black Fri sales this year:)
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! 🥰 I can’t wait to see what the brands have in store for Black Friday this year too!
oop seeing this after i bought the sol de janeiro set 🤣
I bought the kosas trio too
Love these videos! And you look really pretty 😍
I also got 4 mini Sol De Janeiro body sprays together as a 250 point perk recently. Definitely not worth the price of the set 😬
what is ur fav moisturizer for under makeup
I would say I really love the Glow Recipe Plum Plump because it is hydrating and leaves a slight glow without being over the top! I’m also really loving the Byoma moisturizer. I’m blanking on the name, but it comes in a blue bottle. It’s very moisturizing, but it leaves more of a satin finish so that’s great on super hot days or when I want more of a matte finish!
So for the sol de Janiero you got $20 value, my calculation was different.
3oz= $25
$25/3= $8.33 per oz
$8.33* 4 (1oz products )= $33.33
So technically the product isn’t worth $40 as Sephora suggests, it’s only $33.33 value so you’re saving nothing. The only positive is you can try multiple scents.
You're Doing Amazing Job Andrea Matillano
I love these videos! Thank you ❤
I love these videos! Can’t wait for the next one.
Lip sets can absolutely be worth it. Like you said, the color variety is nice, and I always wind up tossing lip products before they are gone. Just an FYI the Grande Lash Serum is great, the mascara is horrid. I am not a fan of Sol De Janeiro. Too sweet. You smell yourself coming and going.
Super good to know about that mascara! I’ve seen it a few times and I was wondering if it would be worth trying. Thank you for sharing your thoughts! 💗
Maybe Sol de Janerio is testing the waters on how much they can increase their body sprays. Based on the inflated prices, that could mean they might double the price of the sprays to $79 or keep the same price of $38 but decrease the size to 4oz. And if these kits sell out, why wouldn’t the company increase the price or lower the amount like Mac did with their face and body 😞
That definitely makes sense! I feel like their larger body sprays are a pretty good deal compared to other brands so I could definitely see them raising the prices! 😭
I certainly won't be getting anything. I only do my shopping in the leftovers of the January sales, because I don't celebrate christmas I don't have presents to buy anyone else. I will try and get a glow recipe kit for sure, as I love Glow Recipe, I also got one for my mums birthday last year. The Kosas blush set looks lovely too, I like the addition of the tote bag
I usually end up wishing I waited until right after the holiday season too because you can get some really great deals on the sets! Definitely check out Glow Recipes website too because I think they have even more kits over there!
Love these videos!!!!❤
Thank you for these videos, I love that you review your thoughts. I like the long video 😊 thanks again and God bless you
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! It means so much to me!
@@AndreaMatillano sweety I watch your videos, I just don't comment much like I did 4 years ago, because on another channel a person said my comments were as long as a story book. Not the person of the video, just another subscriber, so I don't comment much on makeup videos anymore 😞
So, how do you like the Need a Warm Palette. I lile it a lotbut I suddenly starting using I Need a Nude. Wierd? Wasn't into that palett too much. My ribs hurt but tolerable,not as bad. My neck is real bad. Going through therapy for my wrist and that is very painful. Its going to be s long road gor me. I'm strong and resilient.
You look amazing!
Keep in mind though that you have to spend $100 to get a 100 point perk. Unless there’s a point multiplier.
That’s a good point!
I have to start with how gorgeous you look!!! Pretty pretty lady!
Thank you for these videos. Honestly, I couldn’t be bothered to do all the breaking down of the sets, but I am so glad that you are bothered with it because it really helps me when deciding what I’m gonna get. Thank you. !!! ❤
M not sure how you calculated the price for Jo Malone as $14 but it sells for $32 for 0.34oz on Sephora itself
I always calculate it based on the price and the amount sold in a full-size bottle since brands can tend to inflate the value of minis! I might not have mentioned that in this video or I might have cut it out because I was so long-winded!
PSA: the Lawless mini lipglosses are NOT worth it! The doe foot is way too small to give the glossy effect of the full-size! I wish they did a set of the full-size!!
these are my favorite videos of the whole year. I love doing sooooooo much research to make sure I am getting the BEST deal possible.
You are right about that tiny doe foot 😂
I took the stopper out of my mini so I could get a good gloop out, lol.
I don't need to travel with it, so it worked out.
Great Video Andrea Matillano
Thank YOU for doing the math!!! I’m referring to the Tower 28 set saying it’s worth $32, I am guilty for believing what Sephora tells me…this kinda sucks, I hope it was a typo (tho the numbers you came up with are very different so likely not a typo). I don’t want to lose respect for Sephora, however the greedy will do anything for a good or bad for a dollar 😢
Love your videos!❤

Adore your thoughts on holiday gift sets! so many choices, so much variety, quality vs quantity …what a joy to be selective. 😉💋
Kosas minis set comes with the bag
I saw a photo and it looks like it’s actually just a box designed to look like a gift bag!
