I really appreciate that you do not do the “dupe” thing that EVERY other RUclipsr does, which most of the time they are not dupes lol. I appreciate your valuation of things that are similar, giving us a similar look for an easier price point. Thank you
I would LOOOVe an updated affordable cream blush video. Also, please never apologize for a long video. I think most of us absolutely love your longer videos. More to enjoy
Love your philosophy on "dupes", I think it's way overused too.
right! a dupe has always meant that it's virtually the same product with maybe a tiny slight difference. how did people get this so wrong lol
Because it's a buzzword that gets views on tiktok
It aggravates me soooooooo much . I won’t watch a video when they claim it’s a dupe just because it looks alike . No same ingredients nothing drives me insane especially skincare .
Yes!!! I also hate how a dupe must mean it's significantly cheaper than the original. I don't mind if it's more expensive as long as the products are similar
Yeah I keep seeing so many IG reels regarding dupes but the formulation between the "dupe" and the product they're duping is way too different to be considered one.
Both of those Flower beauty palettes are SO amazing and you get so much product! They’re so metallic, they look practically fluid. I hope they make more - nude ones, colorful, duochromes, you get me. 😸
Oh my gosh that Neutrogena serum foundation looks like it was made in sensitive skin heaven.
Edit: update. It's only been 4 days but I love this serum foundation. I have rosacea and react easily and so far so good. It definitely makes the skin look healthy like Amanda said.
There's really no one who gives better product reviews. I always feel like I understand exactly what the item is. Such a huge help, especially since I have to do all of my shopping online. You should be the highest sponsored/PR gifted beautytuber.
I own both the kaja beauty and flower beauty palette and i personally prefer flower beauty
I'd love to see an updated affordable blushes. I am just loving blushes right now and can't get enough. So yes please! 🥰
You do so much work to make these. I really appreciate it, truly. You discuss things I've never heard about, save me money, and give thorough, detailed reviews. I can tell you really care. You're just such a gem, Amanda.
Yes to not overusing "dupe"! and yes to an updated blush video! I love videos like this because you don't push the alternative automatically. If the higher end is better, you're not hesitant to just say so, and why! Thank you!
For metallics that look heavy or textured in a bad way I suggest either wetting the shadow on the brush ( get it pretty wet like a liquid eyeshadow) or wet a clean brush and smooth it over the eyeshadow on your lids. I have to watch metallic shadows because they can make my lids look so crepey but I've found this will smooth and thin them out beautifully.
Omgg you’re killing it !!! As usual
The Loreal age perfect intense nutrition cream is an excellent substitute for the vitamin enriched face base. It's a very emollient cream and I wouldn't recommend it for oily or combo skin for sure. But it's great under makeup
What color is the container ? I can't find it only the night cream.
@@subboxjunkie8298 the box is like a brown color with honeycomb looking designs on it. Make sure to search Loreal age perfect hydra nutrition cream. Idk if you have a Kroger near you but I know mine carries it.
I love that little Revlon palette. I purchased and repurchased the orchid one for years and years. Lots of dimension IF you love purples. I really love your content Amanda. Thank you for making these videos.
:) Thank you so much- I'm going to check out the orchid
Just picked up the Neutrogena serum foundation on your recommendation and blown away. It wears so naturally, thank you so much! 💖
Using the flower beauty palette mixed with water would work in making it sit better on the eyes! ❤️
I will try that
This video was 45 mins well spent. Great job with going into details on all of the products. Super informative!
Re: dropper bottles - I have the L'Oreal True Match Nude Serum Foundation which I really like, but the dropper was a mess. I was going to get a pump for it from Amazon, but instead I was able to pull the glass pipette off the L'Oreal top and it works fine that way. I just pour some out and use my fingers to apply.
I know exactly the texture u mean with the flower beauty shadows BUT I’ve found a couple workarounds. I either use the smallest amount and reeeeeally spread it over the lid and then tap a little more in the direct center. If I’ve already applied and I feel like my lids look chunky, I spray my finger with fix plus and thin the shadow on my lid out. I think both flower beauty palettes are stunning but I do think there’s a bit of a learning curve.
Never tried the Bobby Brown Face Base but I use Weleda Skin Food every day for my moisturizer and makeup prep. Very emollient. I live in MN so I need something bordering on oily. For those that want something similar try it. I tried it because Katie Jane Hughes recommended it!
I love hearing you talk about a neutrogena base product! I have used their hydro boos hydra tint for a while now and I think it’s my fav “foundation” ever. Right up there with MUFE reboot
Would love to see you try it someday lol
I’m so so happy you love the neutrogena skin tint!! I recommended it awhile ago, probably after you already got it lol but it’s seriously a hidden gem, one of my favorites for everyday. You explained it perfectly!! 🖤
I'd love a video or an opinion on light coverage foundations! I'm curious how this Neutrogena serum compares to products like L'oreal True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum, which you mentioned in the previous video of the series, or maybe MAC Face&Body.
I bc was just thinking about the overuse of dupe! I just bought urban decay moo dust in Solistice and I was genuinely blown away. It looks so much nicer in my opinion on my life than colorpop super shock shadows. $22 vs 6 makes sense to me now lol
Thank you for a as always great video. The amount of work and true dedication is truly appreciate! 💕
Yes affordable blush video!!!! My HG is pixi sheer cheek gel. I always get compliments with the flushed color. I just recently tried the benetint and I love it!!!!!
your skin looks so bouncy healthy and beautiful glowy😍
I really wish I had found a review on that Flower Beauty eyeshadow palette which mentioned how it can enhanced unwanted texture! I have very dry eyelids, and this formula makes my skin look like alligator skin after a few hours of wear 😬 Gorgeous colors but not a flattering formula for me. I recently purchased the Roen 11:11 palette and am beyond excited for it!
I love your videos! I would love to see a video comparing the Pat McGrath eyeshadow palettes.
The Flower Beauty highlighter I find it a little drying and much harder to blend. It just sits on top of my skin unlike the Charlotte Tilbury it sinks right in and set beautifully on the skin.
Yes, we need the inexpensive blushes!
wow I had that Revlon cream quad eons ago (like 10+ years 😮) I'm glad to see it's still around
Omg!! The revlon cream shadows!! I use to use them for my dance recitals!!! I need to pick another one up for a one and done look
This series is actually brilliant!
We used to use a lanolin ointment for patients to prevent skin breakdown. It was thick and meant to be a barrier against wetness and not all patients could tolerate it. Can’t imagine putting that on a face no matter how dry your skin is.
Amanda I just LOVE watching you! You are young enough to be my daughter yet I sooo enjoy your content :)
Good grief, I never would have seen the resemblance with the mixed metals and the 52°. And I have both thanks to you, I own 3 of those palettes and they are not easy to come by in Canada. I also did a video with one of them, just cannot remember which 🤣 the Nivea cream is sooo nice . I WISH we could get flower beauty here without going to their website 😥 no neutrogena makeup here 😭. One last think, oh and I love Kaja, they have a few bentos with just shimmers , sigh! I need them all. I would love if you fulfill my curiosity, I know I'm being nosey so a no would be understandable, but, I am curious to see how you store your makeup and how you go about deciding your next video 🤗💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
I had the exACT opposite experience as you did with the cha cha tint! It wouldn't blend on me AT ALL and I found it very difficult to use- couldn't use a small enough amount for a natural effect. And I'm way darker than you!
The L'oreal Age Perfect Hydra Nutrition Honey Day Cream is a great alternative for the Bobbi Brown face base. It is emollient and I find that it absorbs well.
Love the Face Base but that damn smell….toooo strong! I’ll look into the L’oréal one!
Next time you make an Etude House/Yesstyle order you MUST try the Keep My Brow. I have fairly bushy and unruly brows and this clear gel holds them in place better than anything I have ever tried. I am planning to wear it when I’m in labor!
Funny that I'm 43 and I have used that Revlon mixed metals cream four pan palette when I was in my twenties. It's a good formula for a one and done shadow look.
I missed out on the Bobby Brown face base back for the Ulta sale. I purchased the trial sized instead, and I really like it. Since it's so small and I'm trying to use it sparingly, I use it under my eyes as my moisturizer right before putting on concealer, and it's amazing.
The Etude House tints have existed forever though, if anything the Benetints duped them, since the stains in Korea have been a thing since the early 00s. Loved the Flower Beauty dupes tho!
Benetints have been around since the 1970s.
I find that Neutrogena runs on the pink side in general....not great for us olive girlies. I feel like they get overlooked but they have some great skin products, found and concl
If people are looking for a dupe for the Bobby vitamin enriched facebase. You might want to try Weleda skinfood. It's got that thicker texture like BB does and it also has that lemon-y scent.
Wowowow I’m so excited to try that Neutragena tint. I’ve gone through at least 4 of the Ilia tints, so even if that’s not a total dupe, I’m curious to see if it’ll satisfy the same need. I’m also going to pick up those cute little etude house blushes!
I have to apply glitter primer and use my finger and pat shiny metallic shadows like dessert lights just like my Indy shadows. Looks beautiful on my 60 yr old eyes. Granted I took care for 30 yrs and have great genes.
Love this series!!!
I don’t mind how long the video is! It’s great. Very informative!
the cream balmy highlighters u talked about remind me of the physicians formula cream highlighter !
Team desert lights all the way!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
How does the CT and Flower Beauty liquid highlighter compare to the Becca Liquid Shimmering Skin Perfector? The Becca was my HG and I'm so sad it's gone, in denial. I absolutely love your dupe videos! Totally agree with your take on dupes 😎 Love ya ❤️
I'm late to this video. I just received a sample size of Laura Mercier's blush in the shade Provence from Sephora. On my pale skin, Provence (pinky brown) works as a bronzer. A sponge didn't work for me either. I found the best way to apply it is to blend with my fingers in a circular motion. I have to move quickly because it dries matte really fast. If you haven't decluttered Sundrenched, you might want to try applying it this way. I still have to try it with a brush and see how that works.
Thanks for these great reviews Amanda. I hadn’t heard of some of these and found some things for the ol’ wishlist 😊 By the way, per the cheek stains, you might check out the colourpop cheekdews. They have great pigment, shade range and staying power.
I think the JCat Prismetal eyeshadows (although singles) are a super super close dupe of the Roen eyeshadows.
I like dropper bottles when they are done well. Unfortunately the ilia is not a good one....for the price It should be!! If Amanda says its a dupe....I literally immediately add it to my cart. I'm not sure if you have done a sunscreen video but if not I would love to see it from another dry skin gorl.
Love your style love your content ❤
I highly recommend that you try another color in the Laura Mercier blush. Two other creators I follow had not so great experiences with Sundrenched specifically but absolutely loved the other colors. They're so beautiful!
Ooh this is interesting!
@@AmandaZ if you do try more colors, I hope they work for you! They seem right up your alley.
I think a lot of the times people only dupe the color without taking into account the texture, wear time, and other aspects that make a product unique. It’s kinda annoying because I’ve bought things that were “dupes” and then purchased the originals and found they weren’t even comparable half the time lol
Hi Amanda. I have one blush. It’s a stick from Kiko Milano. I like it. At least I think I like it. But I don’t really know much about blush, such as if it should be matte or… whatever the alternatives are. Anyway, just sayin’ for a possible upcoming video. In my case, I have old, dry, cool toned (pink) skin, I think.
you should try the morphe cream blush. it’s so easy to use and lasts all day :)
I would loooove if they made a benetint gel formula, I'd love to use it on my lips but it takes off running in lip lines I didn't even know I had. The gel of the other colors is chefs kiss in texture. I think posie got discontinued and play is a new color.
Have you tried the French iconic Embryolisse Cream?
Loved this video I watched it all
For Bobbi Brown vitamin enriched face base 'dupe', have you tried Freck's rich bitch cactus + vitamin c moisturizer? That one gives me almost the same effect as Bobbi Brown
Hallo, ❤️ wow, thank you for the very informative review. This diffently helps me decide what is best for my needs. I have a few Kaja eyeshadow's and so worth the money and easy to travel with. Thank you ❤️😊
Hey Amanda, could you please do a comparison video of the new saie concealer vs the Kosas? Would be really helpful!!!
Can you please try elf stick highlighter in red packaging .. it’s a balm highlighter as well and very cheap wanna know your thoughts on it
The revlon fades sooo much. I’m not wearing eyeshadow just a couple hours after applying, but roen stays all day. Plus it’s so much more saturated.
Primark and Trader Joe’s have amazing Bobby Brown face base like product
The chanel highlighter vs the elf stick highlighter in the red package
Will we be seeing a review from you for the Shisiedo tinted moisturizer? I want to pick it up but would like to see how it performs and how it compares to others you’ve tried!
Anyone who wants a not-cheap-but-way-cheaper alternative to the Bobbi Brown face primer should try Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. It's a lighter product, not as rich, but it basically does the same thing. Plumps the skin up and stays slightly tacky, so makeup both smooths over and grips to it. It also makes you look about 10 years younger lol. (I also use it as a face mask).
I use it because I'm allergic to shea butter. So I can't use the Bobbi Brown without............ well, hives. 🤮
Soo i think a product pretty close to the Bobby brown face base is the honest deep hydration face cream :)
Wow that Laura Mercier blush--yikes! Great video. Thanks for sharing!
Some other creators had performance issues with the Sundrenched color specifically but loved the other colors. They're absolutely beautiful. It seems like there might be some difference with Sundrenched.
Can you make a full video on the roen shades?? I have the 11:11 palette and idk how to use it 😭
How long after you put on the Bobbi Brown Face Base before you start your makeup? Do you let it dry a little bit or just go straight to foundation?
Have you tried the weleda skin food moisturizer
Omg I hate that feeling when your skin just feels like product sitting on top of the skin not sinking in and hydrating, I get that with some moisturisers that don't hydrate just act like a barrier.
Amanda, did you try using the Laura Mercier blush just with fingers instead of a sponge? I’m wondering if that would have helped with the application.
I get a ton of payoff from Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer blushes - especially when I blend it with a brush. I haven't tried blending it with a sponge
Let's do this ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜
Great video!
The revlon palettes are like a decade old. I used to have a jewel toned one.
Actually they’re more like 3 decades old. I used to use them in the ‘80’s
@@AuntieSenSen haha thank you!
I bought that revlon pallete in a neutral color story and it’s a bop it’s fine for what it is but not anything amazing.
If you like the Neutrogena Serum foundation you're REALLY going to like the Neutrogena Hydroboost foundation
I never knew that Revlon had cream eyeshadow palettes lol
You mentioned the shade of the Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Eyeshadow Palette Rebel to introduce .... Will you introduce us?
I wish this neutrogena product would be available in Ireland
Not sure how glitter and satin can compare? I love the Revlon Illuminance, lasts all day, never creases. So fast/easy to use one or full contour. In my experience.
The fact that Bobbi Brown Left her company and started to clean beauty line... Makes me so suspicious of the Bobbi Brown line. I feel like that's so telling.
It’s true that it’s nice that you may get something similar for less but I’m more into quality vs quantity so I’ll spend the money if it’s going to give me what I need. Your videos are stellar as usual❤️🙌🏻.
Weleda vs BB ?? 🤔
I think the extreme high shine formulas like the Flower desert rose pallette make my lids look too crepe-y. It's beautiful and I'm sure there are some that could pull it of beautifully but just not for me..
Yes the word dupe is used way too much. Especially with the rise of TikTok people just want views so without being actual dupes they just say that are. It drives me crazy
I completely relate omg. I feel protective over you all so I have to be like 'you guys I will BUY THIS to figure out if it isnt... but I can probably tell you it isn't.'.. I get so frustrated since for a long time I didnt have time/money to figure out alternatives and I felt I was taken advantage of for a long time. That's why I really want to open up the conversation with general comparisons so I can share the full range of my experience with both products. & if I hear that something is a good dupe I'm happy to try it first and throw my opinion out there as quickly as possible
@@AmandaZ well we definitely appreciate you!!
Guys melt cosmetics is having a sale and free shipping!
Not a this or that but buy Bobbi Brown around the holidays . Bobbi brown has buy one get one . Ulta does a similar sale and they gave some Bobbi Brown products and two mini face bases and sephora has a double with 20% off .
I know it doesn't say primer, but the Naturium Plant Ceramide Rich Moisture Cream might be similar to the Bobbi Brown Face Base. I wouldn't say it's 1 for 1, but it does kinda have a nice thick texture that makeup applies well over and also has shea butter. (Target sells a travel size too.)
Thank you Caleb I'm going to look into this!!
I'm interested in the Bobbi brown base but also trying to keep my collection cruelty free , I'm my mind the good molecules priming moisturizer maybe 75-85% similar in texture and/or in function!? I'd love to see a comparison between them if possible, thank you very much for your work & kindness 💜
I wanted to love the lano, but it burned my skin soooo much, and I’m not sensitive to lanolin.
How can I extend the wear time of the Revlon Cream Shadows? I always notice that they crease really fast even with primer.
have you tried using a matte liquid shadow like the ones from Ulta in the crease? That is my go-to way!
