I love how Nikki reviews with honesty, but she is always polite and never overly mean about it. She always seems understanding of the work that goes into making beauty products, and that others have different taste than her. I always appreciate her reviews because of this.
Daily reminder: If you are a arianator it is ok to be honest, Being real & not agreeing with something ariana say’s or does makes you a real stan, Remember that.
@@hafizahb1315 well they’re just defending their stan so it’s understandable but if it’s just a nice respectful opinion then they shouldn’t be offended
I love Ariana but I’m still always skeptical when any celebrity comes out with makeup so I wasn’t sure how this would go, but this actually looks pretty great. I gotta try that eyeliner and that highlight.
I don’t think people realize that Ari is usually in very simple, minimal makeup. Especially on the eyes, which explains why the shadows aren’t too dramatic, you NEVER see Ari in super metallic, glittery shadow lol Also explains the packaging, everything is her aesthetic and true to her.
I totally agree when it comes to the product itself but after years of buying and using other products by ari like her perfume, the packaging is VERY underwhelming in my opinion edit : i cant wait for people to stop taking constructive criticism of their favs products to heart and instead view it as a way for them to improve.
Yes, and it’s a relatively new thing for her that’s really working. She used to wear her eyeliner much thicker and longer and be contoured to the gods.
@@maartje6937 I think they mean the brand utilized already used materials when creating their packaging :)! (Although I’m not entirely sure, so i could be wrong)
I feel this way with many of her choices! sometimes when she does her blush I'm also like "it's more than what I'd do" and then suddenly everything comes together and I'm like "oh nope that's just.. perfect!!" I gotta start trusting her more because she always makes it work
I think it’s just one of those “Trust the process” things because I always feel the same way at first.. then just wowed at the end! She always looks great!
I feel like nikkie is the perfect person to review makeup products. she's always so polite and is never mean about a product but always gives us the honest truth no matter who's product it is
My natural look is taupe eyeshadow with a dark brown eyeshadow both smoked out and a taupe lip. Its pretty much natural look is everyday neutral colours but make it grungy
this brand is so up my alley. i love a soft glam, and my every day make up look is usually very subtle. occasionally i’ll do a full face/full glam, but all of these products are definitely something i’d use daily. i’d buy everything 100%
I really think a lot of celebrities are coming out with makeup and skin care lines as a cash grab cuz they know it works and I don’t think Ariana is an exception to that. That’s probably why the packaging is cheap. Everyone saw Rihanna get rich off of fenty beauty and wanted to hop on the band wagon in my opinion
Completely agree! Definitely a cash grab! Makeup is a multi-billion dollar industry they all just want a piece of it. Singers, actresses, all of Hollywood is coming out with makeup and skin care. I'll stick with the brands I trust!
What u said is true.m although what Rihanna did with her foundation range became a monumental event in makeup history... So it's ok if celebs want to bring out makeup brands..I just hope they bring quality stuff to the shelves..
I love how sweet you’re even with being honest. That’s much needed in our generation. The packaging looks cheap I immediately noticed that. I think she’s aiming for younger girls but she has no idea how loved she really is by woman too! Maybe she does? Despite it being recycled it could have been less young girl like. Maybe she will come out with more? I’m proud of her I think the palette colors look nice!
Nikkie, I know this look is rlly rlly soft and natural for you, but I AM LOVING IT and LIVING FOR IT, and I feel like I can follow along and recreate this on myself!!!
i actually love the lipstick packaging i think the little window is great if you have more then one shade so it’s easy to see what one you’ve picked up (unlike brands like mac where there’s no way of knowing what you’ve picked up)
@@gabrielmoro3d you can store them with the bottom facing up hypothetically but also on amazon/eBay you can get clear lids/caps for Mac lipsticks. Not at all ideal though
Can we just appreciate the fact that Nikki is so honest and respectful at the same time and that Ari did exactly the products that scream "Ariana Grande", like, I am so glad that those celebrities that Collab and design their own, new, makeup line always go to Nikki for her honesty and experience. Props to Nikki and Ariana for staying true to themselves and showing the power and support we have as women in the beauty industry!
I’m not an ari fan at all. And honestly with her questionable morals ab plastic surgery and cultural fishing ... anyways I genuinely love the packaging. It actually is awesome to me Ari chose sustainability over glam. Like there’s already so much garbage and so many other makeup brands filling our landfills to the brim I think this concept is really cool. The only thing is people are complaining about the price but idk I haven’t looked into it.
I’m with you on the packaging. It reminds me of the pharmacy eyeshadows my mom would use in the 90s that came with the tiny plastic applicator. Not what I expect from Ariana. Simple is always nice but simple doesn’t mean it can’t be stylish. It also doesn’t give me space. Could have really taken advantage of that concept and done something really cool.
i see what you're saying, but I also think that was what she was going for. she LOVES the sixties especially, so i think she was going for older packaging vibes. actually, her photoshoot for the makeup line was based on a sixties vogue model. I think she tried to merge that, with space. I really like it personally
The only thing I have to say is that liquid eyeshadow is usually supposed to be applied directly to the eye, rather than your hand, to a brush, to your eye. I believe that explains the pigment problem.
She did that after, though, and I’ve seen other people apply and it looks the same. I think it’s just the aesthetic with that shade. Nothing wrong with it, just not Nikkie’s style. I personally like it.

@@shawk2832 What's wrong with that? Offering suggestions on how to make a product work doesn't mean they're saying Nikki isn't talented or knowledgeable about makeup herself.
After watching this, I am so interested in the highlighters and the clear lip gloss. Like all Nikkie, this is an honest but not cruel review, with enthusiasm and enjoyment of working with the product, even if not all of them were quite to her taste. Love Nikkie's reviews!
I love that Nikkie was so honest with her review! I love Ariana and personally I love the simpleness of the packaging and colors. This definitely helped me decide what else I want to order down the line!
I really like everything about this chapter. It’s practical for people like me working in an office building where I can wear a more neutral business professional look. I know a lot of people were expecting more glitter and shine but not everyone can wear that stuff to work everyday and how often do people go out on weekends and do a more dramatic look in your 30s? This is just my opinion and what works for me in my life
I love the packaging of the lipstick and overall this seems like an amazing launch! It is sad that not that many consumers are excited for it, but even my reaction at first was like "another celebrity makeup line" yet I thought the theme was great and so fitting to ariana. I have to say I would actually buy these products after watching this review
I think sometimes because of how the beauty industry is, we forgot that not everyone wants heavy luxe packaging, sometimes simple is better, and not everyone wants a liquid eyeshadow which is going to be blended with a brush, some people like to just use their finger and have a subtle shimmer rather than full on glam. We forget to appreciate the minimalist side to makeup.
I am so sorry if this is off-topic. All your make up looks rock, so do your reviews - you really know what you´re doing. I´ve already learned so much by watching your videos. BUT. I LIVE for your earrings, nails and tops/outfits (as much as I can see of them) and hair accessories. Thank you for your ongoing fashion inspo!
As someone with short, straight, asian lashes - I feel you on the mascara portion. I highly recommend Isehan's Kiss Me Heroine mascara if you want something that will actually hold a curl up until the end of time.
This entire makeup line is absolutely my style! I’m into more of a simple look rather than GLAM✨ and I love my eyeliner so I’m excited to use this!!! I love Ari so much, been waiting for this!
The madison beer pallete is on sale for $5. All 3 of arianas eyeshadow palletes are in that 1 morphe pallete except madisons collab is actually pigmented and you don't have to spent 10 minutes on a naked eye. Lol
this is going to be an unpopular opinion but i like the packaging of the glosses,, i hate when they have a wand and the content gets mixed with whatever lippie u have on🤧 for me it’s perfect
I never put the wand on the lipstick I’m wearing! It’s one of those things that drives me crazy when I see people do it lol. I swipe it into my finger and tap it on top of my lips
@@laurac86 same, i put it on the back of my hand and then i use my finger but that’s too high maintenance when u are on the go, so i’ve been avoiding glosses for a while): definitely going to grab one of those
One of a kind influencer that I actually look up to!!! Your honesty, your vibe, your review and reaction is everything I ever ask for!! You keep impressing me day by day. I think every influencer out here should learn from you!!! Thank you for being who you are, keep on shinning, I love you so much ♡
I don't typically watch nikkie's videos but I know I'm going to be now. she is honestly so funny and I would listen to her talk about way more than just makeup and beauty. loving her personality rn
To be honest, I like the packaging. It's not over the top, I'm not buying makeup to have nice packaging, Im buying it for the actual product. I also appreciate that she made the line affordable. Thanks for this review Nikkie! ❤❤
I'm sure that was on the ideas table of her team.. but 1) it has been done 2) it gives more of a cute teen-vibe and not like this, which also has a level of cuteness and pop art, but it's more elegant, more like "I'm a serious company and here to stay" vibe. In my opinion. :)
I honestly like the packaging. I haven’t seen many people talk about cause like it looks like her space them but the packaging also kinda gives me 2000’s vibe it looks kinda like a throwback product
I feel like Ariana did a great job! The colors are basic and I can actually wear this to school. If I want to have fun and be bold with the eyeliner or the eyeshadow, I can do it. I feel like you can wear the products anywhere, at school, at your job, at the restaurant.
You can make ANY makeup look so incredibly gorgeous!! I do not like the packaging and agree it looks cheap, but the product inside is nice!! I’m a beginner so this package is for me!
So, something that I love about liquid shadows as a consumer, is that I like to be able to throw them on and go. These liquid shadows really make that possible. I am a medical worker, so I leave at 5:30am and am getting home at 20:30pm. They stay on ALL DAY and they are a little pop of colour that make me feel like I tried in the morning :D
This makeup is perfect for people barely getting into makeup, like a child getting this for christmas. It’s also perfect for people who just want something quick and easy and are much older for all that glam stuff. Her packaging expresses that very well and it also expressed the theme well too and it’s environmentally friendly which is a plus to anybody, idc how many colors you want on a packaging girl save the earth!!!!
8:54 to be fully honest, it's the type of packaging that just makes the pallete blend into its surroundings, so i'd say it looks like something I would loose really quickly, also the semi mattness of the packaging makes it look like cheap aluminum
I think the applicator of the liquid eye shadows make it really easy to use the product both ways. Can wait for her to bring out some liquid lips tho!!
honestly, I feel like most of the products are beginner-friendly but like idk personally I wish there was more color especially cause it's a space-themed collection I just wouldn't have expected all the neutrals in this collection due to the theme. I did really like the lip and eyeliner might have to buy but the shadows and glitters were underwhelming and maybe need another mini to give that POP of color. I think it's a cute collection some of the packaging needs work just cause something is eco-friendly or recycled does not mean it has to be bland and underwhelming many brands that have the same claims have nice and creative packaging(that isn't over the top but also not just...chrom all over) that aside it does seem the actual makeup is something anyone new to make-up or that really like neutrals shades or tones would really like.
I think the intention behind this makeup was "play makeup" for teenagers (still figuring out makeup), not necessarily for a mature look. At least, that's what it seems like to me because it comes across as so young-- appealing to maybe her biggest fanbase? Like, I absolutely love Ari and listen to her everyday, but companies have to look at their target markets to project profits.
Honestly I’d definitely buy everything in this collection. I love make up and watching people do crazy looks but when it comes to me I’d much rather have a tiny, classic and essential palette that works in any situation (for me anyways) that I can take everywhere. I actually appreciate that her collection is a bit more muted because they always come out with super crazy colors colors that I personally never found wearable! So yeah I’d definitely pick it up, for me it’s hit
that is exactly why I also love the general packaging. It fits the actual products so well and it doesn’t “scare away” the everyday person, that just wants to enhance or amp up their features!
We have opposite problems actually. I have lots of stuff like that, but it’s really hard to find stuff that packs a punch and is easily viewed on my dark skin. I don’t want to have to shovel out $50 for one palette just so I can see it on 😩
When I saw the packaging for the first time I had the same thoughts, it does look a bit cheap, but I totally get her vision. It reminded me of the 90s and the early 2000s drugstore make up, especially the lip gloss and the shape of the eyeshadow palette. But when you applied the eyeliner, I was in awe! I can't wait to get my hands on that eyeliner! Thank you for sharing the review and being so honest! Also, congrats to Ari for her new collection! :)
I think this make up look is so pretty, I wish u could appreciate a light glitter bc some people go to work and school and can’t be doing make up for an hour every morning of full glam. Like In reality it’s not very often that every day people do “full glam.”
I think I'm okay with it being simplistic and somewhat cheap looking because of how affordable she made the prices. It's definitely cheaper than other celebrity products like rare beauty and Fenty so it makes sense with the price range. The products look cheap but the quality isn't so I'm happy with it.
It’s the honesty for me! Also what I really love is that you rate each product, it makes it so much more clear about what you think! Loved this queen, thank you!
I’ve expected her makeup line to be so soft and daily based tbh, i liked everything about the makeup line especially the highlighter/ eyeliner and lipstick 😍💄
14:00 exactly what I was thinking! i LOVE how this can appeal to her younger following along with us in our 20's/30's. it's universal, fun, and nostalgic in a way! I want to try her brand! thanks Nikkie for this video!!!
I love how positively and how fair she is when trying new makeup 😘 she isn’t like other gurus who judge everything very aggressively even before trying the makeup
the eyeshadow packaging i can agree with, but i also wanna say that i love that Ari also included mirrors in the highlighters and eyeshadow palette! i really appreciate when brands do that!
I thinks it’s wonderful to see you in this softer look. It’s so beautiful. Not your normal vibe but my goodness! Those eyes ! I want to be able to to do that liner!
i of course haven’t felt the packaging in person, buttttt i do think the silver space theme is a hit, i actually wish the caps to the eye shadows were silver vs white 🤷🏼♂️ i get that it may feel cheap or scratch but also i don’t believe anyone else is doing it whereas the white appears very drugstore imho

It’s suppose to be space inspired so like metallic space ship type vibes
@@excusemeum.iloveyou like her song NASA ??
This look actually looks so pretty on you Nikkie. All the colors go well together and give such a glam vibe.
Love that you’re so honest about everything! Oh that lipstick 💄
I really like everything about this chapter. It’s practical for people like me working in an office building where I can wear a more neutral business professional look. I know a lot of people were expecting more glitter and shine but not everyone can wear that stuff to work everyday and how often do people go out on weekends and do a more dramatic look in your 30s? This is just my opinion and what works for me in my life
I don't think working 30-year-olds are the target audience for Ariana Grande though
Literally those shades are the most common out there. You can find them in any other palette out there lol, way cheaper and better quality
@@shairhu5428 idk have you seen all her models she used on her website? It’s for everyone
@@shairhu5428 well, ariana is 28 so it could be
@@lilianavoicu1102 let people buy what they want. Your comment is unnecessary
Can we talk about this gorgeous natural fall look on Nikkie?!?! Like it is stunning!!!
Is this a natural look? Lol
@@NightTimeDay why are you replying to all the comments that use the word "natural"?? 🧐🧐
@@NightTimeDay what are you doing here under every comment and hating?
@@jolinalee3887 i posted two vanilla comments and you're shook lol. Chill
the lipstick packaging is just so perfect, its like a little astronaut AHH
Heeehhhhhh…. More like early 2000’s Avon
I love the packaging of the lipstick and overall this seems like an amazing launch! It is sad that not that many consumers are excited for it, but even my reaction at first was like "another celebrity makeup line" yet I thought the theme was great and so fitting to ariana. I have to say I would actually buy these products after watching this review
I am obsessed with the packaging!! The sound it makes when it closes it so satisfying!! I love the silver and shine!!❤️❤️❤️❤️
The lavender highlighter looks super pretty. Was surprised.
@zuygj bnsv who's offended?
i agree, i'm usually not a fan of colored highlighters but thats gorgeous
@zuygj bnsv no one’s offended
I think sometimes because of how the beauty industry is, we forgot that not everyone wants heavy luxe packaging, sometimes simple is better, and not everyone wants a liquid eyeshadow which is going to be blended with a brush, some people like to just use their finger and have a subtle shimmer rather than full on glam. We forget to appreciate the minimalist side to makeup.
the packaging is literally copied off a Chinese makeup brand....
@@emi_1211 she’s talking about the products not the packaging, get a life i see you in every comment
@@asier3085 um ok go cry about it?
@@asier3085 she did mention the packaging in her comment. Like the first thing mentioned. ✨
Then you’re definitely on the wrong gurus channel!! 😄😉
I will never be able to say “Nimya” as beautifully as Nikkie does
I am so sorry if this is off-topic. All your make up looks rock, so do your reviews - you really know what you´re doing. I´ve already learned so much by watching your videos.
BUT. I LIVE for your earrings, nails and tops/outfits (as much as I can see of them) and hair accessories. Thank you for your ongoing fashion inspo!
As someone with short, straight, asian lashes - I feel you on the mascara portion. I highly recommend Isehan's Kiss Me Heroine mascara if you want something that will actually hold a curl up until the end of time.
Ok I have the sameee lashes and THIS is the ONLY mascara that has ever worked for me
I have short and straight lashes too! My fav is Lancome grandiose mascara, that one makes my lashes stay up all day😍
Thanks for this comment ama go buy this now!! I am 26 and have yet to find a mascara that has ever worked for me
This entire makeup line is absolutely my style! I’m into more of a simple look rather than GLAM✨ and I love my eyeliner so I’m excited to use this!!! I love Ari so much, been waiting for this!
The madison beer pallete is on sale for $5. All 3 of arianas eyeshadow palletes are in that 1 morphe pallete except madisons collab is actually pigmented and you don't have to spent 10 minutes on a naked eye. Lol
this is going to be an unpopular opinion but i like the packaging of the glosses,, i hate when they have a wand and the content gets mixed with whatever lippie u have on🤧 for me it’s perfect
Truueee
Agree
Yep!
I never put the wand on the lipstick I’m wearing! It’s one of those things that drives me crazy when I see people do it lol. I swipe it into my finger and tap it on top of my lips
@@laurac86 same, i put it on the back of my hand and then i use my finger but that’s too high maintenance when u are on the go, so i’ve been avoiding glosses for a while): definitely going to grab one of those
The packaging of the eye Shadow remember me like 00s wet and wild
Nikki's honesty is everything, she's always so gentle yet direct and open with her critique which is what all of us want. love u Nikki
One of a kind influencer that I actually look up to!!! Your honesty, your vibe, your review and reaction is everything I ever ask for!! You keep impressing me day by day.
I think every influencer out here should learn from you!!!
Thank you for being who you are, keep on shinning, I love you so much ♡
I’m in LOOOOOVE with the lipstick shade and the packaging AHHH I NEED IT
@zuygj bnsv you can say that about almost every other makeup brand?
I don't typically watch nikkie's videos but I know I'm going to be now. she is honestly so funny and I would listen to her talk about way more than just makeup and beauty. loving her personality rn
To be honest, I like the packaging. It's not over the top, I'm not buying makeup to have nice packaging, Im buying it for the actual product. I also appreciate that she made the line affordable.
Thanks for this review Nikkie! ❤❤
This the one
@@mistyangelfx3804 exactly
completely agreeing with you
Agree with you but the actual product itself is not worth it (except the lipstick). I loooove Ariana but I'm honest.
@@darril6486 And everyone else is honest too?
I actually really like that the lip gloss is in the like, 2000s packaging bc it helps prevent lipstick getting into the product
Ah
the highlight packaging coulda been really cute like a circle representing a UFO 🛸
i think becca has a similar form
Yeees. She could of play with the window like the lipstick
I'm sure that was on the ideas table of her team.. but 1) it has been done 2) it gives more of a cute teen-vibe and not like this, which also has a level of cuteness and pop art, but it's more elegant, more like "I'm a serious company and here to stay" vibe.
In my opinion. :)
@@ScigerN more elegant? delulu. I can’t lol
I love the packaging!!! She was very conscious of her materials she used!!
I think REM is personal to Ariana from the aesthetic to the natural everyday beauty she’s known for
I honestly like the packaging. I haven’t seen many people talk about cause like it looks like her space them but the packaging also kinda gives me 2000’s vibe it looks kinda like a throwback product
Because it is
@@yi27lin85 she’s actually been saying that it’s like space 1950-60 aesthetic I just felt like it looked like some 2000’s product
Y2K aesthetic is built off of what people in the 50s-90s thought the future/space/technology would look like. Stuff like that is all derivative
@@LP-ct9nk okay 👍🏽
the eyeliner and the lipstick is just *mwah!* CHEFS KISSS
with all these brands coming and going, my mama Nyx stands strong. I can always trust them to produce great products
I feel like Ariana did a great job! The colors are basic and I can actually wear this to school. If I want to have fun and be bold with the eyeliner or the eyeshadow, I can do it. I feel like you can wear the products anywhere, at school, at your job, at the restaurant.
i’ve been waiting for this review 😩💗
I really like the style of r.e.m. bc it’s natural, much like Ariana’s makeup style, and also mine :) This is totally going on my Christmas wish list
I’m not particularly interested in this line but I actually love the packaging. I think it’s sleek and I like the clean lines.
You can make ANY makeup look so incredibly gorgeous!! I do not like the packaging and agree it looks cheap, but the product inside is nice!! I’m a beginner so this package is for me!
So, something that I love about liquid shadows as a consumer, is that I like to be able to throw them on and go. These liquid shadows really make that possible. I am a medical worker, so I leave at 5:30am and am getting home at 20:30pm. They stay on ALL DAY and they are a little pop of colour that make me feel like I tried in the morning :D
As a medical worker, I say PREACH GIRL. It's a must have for 24h shifts.
This makeup is perfect for people barely getting into makeup, like a child getting this for christmas. It’s also perfect for people who just want something quick and easy and are much older for all that glam stuff. Her packaging expresses that very well and it also expressed the theme well too and it’s environmentally friendly which is a plus to anybody, idc how many colors you want on a packaging girl save the earth!!!!
no Sana no life
I was thinking the same! :)
@@itsiraa truer words have never been said !!!!
Ugh y’all are so freaking brainwashed 🙄🤦🏻♀️
@@Lúthien_Tinúviel89 hm not really…. just not judgemental. try it sometime
8:54 to be fully honest, it's the type of packaging that just makes the pallete blend into its surroundings, so i'd say it looks like something I would loose really quickly, also the semi mattness of the packaging makes it look like cheap aluminum
Whenever someone wants to buy a product they watch Nikkie's reviews first
I would love if you'll make the famous hairstyle of Ariana! 💕
I’d like if sup was a lipstick instead of a liquid eyeshadow, the colour is GORGEOUS
theres a lipstick by elf called "nectar" that looks EXACTLY that colour!! a bit more concentrated tho😅
I think the applicator of the liquid eye shadows make it really easy to use the product both ways. Can wait for her to bring out some liquid lips tho!!
Are you serious? There are thousands of lipsticks with that color
@@xxzxozkxlxton1344 i meant if rem had launched that colour as a lipstick it would’ve been better 🙄
@@arwieshbabolall3205 the formulas will be different tho, I had the same thought
honestly, I feel like most of the products are beginner-friendly but like idk personally I wish there was more color especially cause it's a space-themed collection I just wouldn't have expected all the neutrals in this collection due to the theme. I did really like the lip and eyeliner might have to buy but the shadows and glitters were underwhelming and maybe need another mini to give that POP of color. I think it's a cute collection some of the packaging needs work just cause something is eco-friendly or recycled does not mean it has to be bland and underwhelming many brands that have the same claims have nice and creative packaging(that isn't over the top but also not just...chrom all over) that aside it does seem the actual makeup is something anyone new to make-up or that really like neutrals shades or tones would really like.
The packages look like they're from the 90's trying to look futuristic in my opinion. It does look kind of cheap.
It is because they are recycled
@@blascofremusicco929 how’s that related..
@@bigira they cant have super glamorous packaging if it’s recycled
@@user-nz9ek6bb1e yes they can i- recycled plastic can be manipulated to look/feel different, they can be used to make fabrics even..
@@bigira Well then idk
Not only do I love that lip color and it’s usually my go to, but I’m LOVING it on Miss Tutorials! She’s needs that color always now. Obsessed.
I’ve heard a lot of people say if it wasn’t Ariana’s brand, no one would care or be talking about it 🤭
Ofc .. everyone buy coz is Ariana make up line
yea i think everything about it is pretty generic 😂
oop- 🤭
I think the intention behind this makeup was "play makeup" for teenagers (still figuring out makeup), not necessarily for a mature look. At least, that's what it seems like to me because it comes across as so young-- appealing to maybe her biggest fanbase? Like, I absolutely love Ari and listen to her everyday, but companies have to look at their target markets to project profits.
Honestly I’d definitely buy everything in this collection. I love make up and watching people do crazy looks but when it comes to me I’d much rather have a tiny, classic and essential palette that works in any situation (for me anyways) that I can take everywhere. I actually appreciate that her collection is a bit more muted because they always come out with super crazy colors colors that I personally never found wearable! So yeah I’d definitely pick it up, for me it’s hit
that is exactly why I also love the general packaging. It fits the actual products so well and it doesn’t “scare away” the everyday person, that just wants to enhance or amp up their features!
We have opposite problems actually. I have lots of stuff like that, but it’s really hard to find stuff that packs a punch and is easily viewed on my dark skin. I don’t want to have to shovel out $50 for one palette just so I can see it on 😩
It was Nikkie saying “Yuh” sounding just like Ariana for me!
yuhh!
When I saw the packaging for the first time I had the same thoughts, it does look a bit cheap, but I totally get her vision. It reminded me of the 90s and the early 2000s drugstore make up, especially the lip gloss and the shape of the eyeshadow palette. But when you applied the eyeliner, I was in awe! I can't wait to get my hands on that eyeliner! Thank you for sharing the review and being so honest! Also, congrats to Ari for her new collection! :)
girl its not that deep lol the packaging is literally copied off a Chinese makeup brand....
@@emi_1211 What Chinese brand?
I think this make up look is so pretty, I wish u could appreciate a light glitter bc some people go to work and school and can’t be doing make up for an hour every morning of full glam. Like In reality it’s not very often that every day people do “full glam.”
Ari won't hate you for an informative review! I love this look on you too.
Finally a honest review
yuh
there are plenty?
literally every reviewer i have seen so far has been honest what are you even talking about
I'm 1000th like😁
how about let’s not act like a harsh review is a prerequisite to being an ‘honest’ review
I think I'm okay with it being simplistic and somewhat cheap looking because of how affordable she made the prices. It's definitely cheaper than other celebrity products like rare beauty and Fenty so it makes sense with the price range. The products look cheap but the quality isn't so I'm happy with it.
its nearly the same price as rare beauty, the lipsticks cost 19$ while rare beauty cost 17$
I mean you can make cheap products not look cheap lol but I get the sentiment haha
She dosnt do the prices her team make up the prices she just chooses the beauty part of it
@@Gabriela-gn9hc exactly idk in what world is 19$ for a lipstick affordable lol
there will still be an insane profit margin tho dont get it twisted
Absolutely love the demure look! Beautiful
It’s the honesty for me! Also what I really love is that you rate each product, it makes it so much more clear about what you think! Loved this queen, thank you!
i love this “soft glam” on you. you look gorgeous nikki!
I’ve expected her makeup line to be so soft and daily based tbh, i liked everything about the makeup line especially the highlighter/ eyeliner and lipstick 😍💄
UR HAIR IS SLAYING
14:00 exactly what I was thinking! i LOVE how this can appeal to her younger following along with us in our 20's/30's. it's universal, fun, and nostalgic in a way! I want to try her brand! thanks Nikkie for this video!!!
I love how positively and how fair she is when trying new makeup 😘 she isn’t like other gurus who judge everything very aggressively even before trying the makeup
the eyeshadow packaging i can agree with, but i also wanna say that i love that Ari also included mirrors in the highlighters and eyeshadow palette! i really appreciate when brands do that!
I thinks it’s wonderful to see you in this softer look. It’s so beautiful. Not your normal vibe but my goodness! Those eyes ! I want to be able to to do that liner!
i of course haven’t felt the packaging in person, buttttt i do think the silver space theme is a hit, i actually wish the caps to the eye shadows were silver vs white 🤷🏼♂️ i get that it may feel cheap or scratch but also i don’t believe anyone else is doing it whereas the white appears very drugstore imho
ohhh I agree with this! the silver packaging really gives the retro space feel I think Ari was trying to go for
I wonder if I’m the only one who actually loves the packaging?? I love how simple it is and I love space so this is perfect to me! Love you Nikkie❤️
i definetely do! it’s very minimalistic and actually feels like something you’d find on a spaceship in my opinion.
for the price? no
