    Please do another video about more of those taupe bronze shadows. Especially from mainstream brands because it's hard for me to get American indie brands in India. I'd love both singles and shades within palettes. My ultimate favourite is still Paris from the Anastasia Mario palette. Thank you, Lauren!

    I LOVE speed/roundup reviews! It's actually my favorite, especially when they have high, mid, and drugstore items. Personally, it doesn't even have to be all new stuff, either. I pass loads of products in Ulta, Sephora and drugstores that I know nothing about. They've probably been there for years but I can't keep up with every freaking product 🤷🏻‍♀️
    Great video!

    I'm so happy that Half Caked is sending you some makeup! They really have great cream blushes & bronzers. It is a formula that can initially feel "sticky" but I use a dense brush and once it's blended into the skin it just leaves a gorgeous natural sheen and nice even color. Their lip formulas are surprisingly fantastic too. I dunno how they r doing it but they're doing some really good things over there.

    I LAUGHED when you opened that half caked pallete near the end! It's something I would TOTALLY purchase if not for the polly pocket packaging! (and I like Polly pocket!) But going for a grunge look and getting the cutesy pallete out is so NOT for the mood I'd be in, even if the inside matched my idea!

    Dupe Alert for a couple shades from the PM bronze pallet!!! Sephora Collection single eyeshadows in Shock Choc and To The Moon And Back.
    A surprise, definitely. Thank me later.
    I love the Pat McGrath five pans for holiday because they are neutral enough to use all day every day without too much thought. I always pass on holiday pallets full of green and red or frosty blue that I know might not be long-term useful.

    Hi, Lauren! I watched Gigiz Beauty’s video on the CT Pop Shots, and she swatched Emerald Eyes against MAC Ho Ho Hocus! from last year’s, and they seem to be identical dupes. I own the MAC ones, so I went and swatched them, and now I’m wondering if Cosmic Rocks has a dupe in MAC Prrrplexing!. I also swatched Clionadh Azure, and I guess it looks sheerer, but still similar. Finally, I wonder how similar CT Rose Gold is to JDGlow Rose Goals, which I own. All this to say, I may not need to get any of those shades from CT, except Smoky Quartz. I’ll be waiting for your video tomorrow to see your comparisons ❤ And man, those MAC eyeshadows are sooooo underrated! I’m so so so happy that I got them last year 😍 Would you be interested in getting this year holiday collection MAC’s singles? They don’t look as magnificent, but I’m very curious.

    I loooove last year's PM holiday highlighter, it's been my most used thru the year by far. I have the new one as well but have only worn once and swatched, but imo it IS quite a bit more sparkly/glittery than the former. It is a nice fine sparkle that isn't unflattering, but I still think my preference will lean towards last year's...and yeah, the big gold compact was wayyyy better.

    The cp brow pencils are excellent. There are two versions of their pencils, one is a little thicker (the one you have/showed) & one that's super skinny. The super skinny one was my hg brow pencil for years & it took me forever to find something comparable! The pencils from billion dollar brows are exactly the same! There's also way more product in the tube than the cp pencils. I found I was going through the cp fast so I screwed it all the way out while brand new & there's very little product in there 🙃
