Agreed. I will never watch a review of Natasha Denona products because I just don’t think there are deserving of the hype RUclipsrs give them. And at this point, I think it’s only RUclipsrs sustaining Natasha Denona. I don’t think I know one person who doesn’t watch RUclips that has a ND product
I personally enjoy Natasha denona's formula, but I'm not a fan of her colour stories in her larger pallets. I usually just stick with their mini pallets
Charlotte Tilbury's products have gotten so expensive in a short amount of time. When I started buying it 7ish years ago, the lipsticks were about $22 and the quads $40. Other brands have gone up but not at level of increase.
Right! I remember around 6 years ago I was having trouble finding CT products in the US (in reality I just didn’t know you could buy makeup from places that weren’t Sephora, Ulta, or the drugstore 🤦🏻♀️) so I would send money to my (now) ex, who lived in London, to buy products and bring them over when he came to visit. Kinda funny that I’d go to all that trouble in 2016, but now I refuse to pay their inflated prices
Definitely overpriced. $86 AUD for a quad is nuts. This is 10% more than I paid for Modern Renaissance five years ago, and that’s a much bigger palette than these quads. I think the price tag is part of their marketing, it’s meant to make you feel like you’re buying a luxury product. But at the end of the day, with the conservative colours of CT, you can get the same look easily with drugstore stuff and nobody would know what’s on your eye. When I started learning guitar, I discovered that experienced guitarists can make a cheap guitar sound like a professional one. It’s probably the same with makeup users.
Colourpop has such a wide range that nobody is going to like all of it, but I think all of it is for *some*body. I think they know what they're doing by releasing so much... the mistake would be to try to keep up as if one person is supposed to own/try it all
They need to chill and let the process of buying take control while at the same time keeping an eye on what’s being sold more or less as well as what product category does best.
I agree. They may not be everybody's taste but I would not say that they are overrated, at all. At least being still such a good priced brand. For example, their eye shadow quality, in my opinion of course and in general as they have so many o them, has nothing to envy Charlotte Tilbury's but then look at the price difference, it is insane! Actually CP seems to have a much more interesting packaging design process behind. That is also taste depending but nobody can say they don't vary or work on design for each of their products.
I think colourpop is more for the everyday beauty person rather then the RUclips beauty fanatics. You can go in their website and anyone will find something they’ll like no matter what the category whether it’s lips, eyes, cheeks, etc. I do think they aren’t as affordable as they used to be considering their eyeshadow palettes are up to $24-35 depending on the size
I would add L.A. Girl as an underrated brand. They have been under the radar for years, and their eyeshadow formula is fantastic! I do love Flower Beauty - just repurchased my favorite lipstick (Petal Pout in Cinnamon Crush!) - but I noticed their website is shut down right now. Hopefully they're just retooling the site! 😟 Rebrands make me nervous...
The concealer is a staple to those who cannot get shapetape, (too expensive), and elf camo concealer (gets sold out so fast). But their eye primer, eyeshadows are meh.... (I'm saying as a perspective to my country, demands vary according to country)
I think Makeup by Mario is overrated. The new eyeshadow palette is $68 for a very neutral palette, and all the influencers have bought it and are like “this is amazing!” It’s a neutral palette!! I saw one video by Morgan Turner, and she was like “it’s nice, but you can get the same loon from Colourpop That’s Taupe”, and I was like THANK YOU!!!
I'm a sucker for neutrals and don't wear colorful shadows so it's perfect for me, BUT the price is insane! And there is way too much similar light mattes, and very few shimmers. I feel like 15€ palettes from k-beauty can do the same job and even better cause they do neutrals and sparkles the best!
@@alevsahin1428 same! I like neutrals as well, but people going crazy and spending $68 for this palette blows my mind. So many more affordable options!
That's true but as someone who likes neutrals I am looking for good quality, and my only colourpop palette is difficult for me to get pigment/ sparkle...
@@Sam-ge1vf k-beauty is more known for their sheerer pigmentation, I personally am not a fan of super pigmented shadows because I find that they are more difficult to work with. I saw some swatches of the Mario palette and it did seem like the pigmentation wasn't that intense, so I would recommend checking out Romand or unleashia, they have beautiful shadows
I would add Natasha Denona to overhyped brands. She’s not known for literally ANYTHING but eyeshadows and I’ve noticed her gondola getting smaller and moving farther back in my Sephora. I think her brand is in trouble and is only popular on You Tube at this point. Everything is on sale right now and there seems to be a phasing out of many products.
I would agree. Her prices are ridiculously high... And not because she's a one to two person brand who can't source packaging or ingredients in a less expensive way.
@@KellyGooch my prediction is ND goes belly up in 2023. Not rooting for it and I love her eyeshadows as well, but I own 3 minis, the midi Glam and the Biba and don’t see myself buying any more any time soon as I only wear neutrals. The average consumer who isn’t a YT’er doesn’t buy all the releases as they’re very expensive. Reminds me of Becca, who put all their eggs in the highlighter basket and didn’t cultivate products people actually use up and repurchase like foundations, concealers, mascaras, brow products and eyeliners.
@@lindsayhoffman2688 Eyeshadows are also one of those things you buy once. I own so many palettes I never repurchase an eyeshadow palette. So I could see the brand struggling for sure!
I can see how Charlotte Tilbury is overhyped especially because they’re not a brand I’d call diverse when it comes to their products as everything is mostly pink which won’t work for a lot of complexions, however, for myself I love the brand because as a red head I find her products complement me as a whole meaning that literally the entire brand works for me and my complexion and it’s nicely luxurious.
I enjoy the Burt’s bees products I’ve tried, I love the sheer blush stick. However, their branding has always turned me off, kind of like “clean beauty” despite now being owned by colorex 😂 but that blush stick is one of my holy grails
The BareMinerals powder blushes are GORGEOUS. So smoothing and such flattering colours. I especially love Beige for Days and Strike a Rose. ❤ Looking forward to the Fenty video!
I looove BareMinerals! I’ve been using the brand (particularly the radiant foundation) sine I was 16 and you’re right it’s so light weight and perfect for spot concealing, it gives a nice glow to the face without looking patchy❤ P.S OMG I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks the Kosas concealer cap is cheap. I cracked my cap too the first time I tried it 😢 (I like to tightly squeeze my caps) and my ocd is killing me knowing that it’s there lol but yes they need to change the cap because it’s way too fragile!
Pop a little eyelash glue under the burts bee pan...it will keep it in but it’s easy enough to pry out if needed. I’ve done it several times and not had a pan fall out on me again 👍🏻
I think rare is worth the hype. Everything I’ve tried is such nice quality and has great packaging. It’s high end while still not being too expensive. I love the experience of using the brand.
Bare minerals invisible bronzer is my HG! it has a clear base and you "can't" see it, your face looks warm but you can't tell it's bronzer, it's wild. It is no makeup makeup.
You are such a ray of sunshine to my days, thank you for your content. I am 58 and have been using Charlotte Tilbury before Tiktok even existed! I love Flower Beauty. I can do a full face of either. Underrated: Purlisse Illuminating BB cream. I never hear anyone talking about Purlisse, and I just love their products. XO
Yes! The BB cream is a great product! I should try more products from that brand because I also love the priming moisturizer for oily skin. (However, I can't wear the BB cream in the summer really but it's perfect for right now)
9:00 Jen Phelps has long been a fan of Flower Beauty an other lesser known high quality brands, and is exemplary at finding dupes for eyeshadow palettes.
The thing I like most about Colour Pop is that products are made as close to on-demand as possible and they are flexible enough to switch things quickly. This means a lower carbon footprint and less waste.* *This information is based on a documentary from a few years ago, so that may not be the case anymore.
I love Colourpop, I honestly only hear bad things about them which makes me sad because I really do think they’ve the best eyeshadow formula at the drugstore. All anyone talks about Colourpop is about how much they launch and I definitely agree they launch too much, but I rarely see anyone talk about how good they are.
I love colourpop. I think it's people complaining about all the drops. As in another brand we don't have to buy it all. I like I get more for my money.
I love your content so much!!! Your underrated brands are *on point*! I totally trust your recommendations 1000% but most importantly… you only shop cruelty-free beauty! Keep it up girl💕🥹
Charlotte Tilbury is very overhyped but I love her products, the beautiful skin foundation, powder and film star bronze and glow give me such a great complexion and I love her eye shadow shades, the pillow talk eyeliner and lipstick. It’s so overpriced but I can’t resist, it just looks so much better on me than what I used to use
I have baseboard heaters in each room of my house and I imagine it’s the same as living with a radiator. Freezing or sweating, and the dry air really gets to me after a while!
I am over ColourPop. The fast fashion business model is so toxic-bad for our budgets, bad for the environment, bad for us psychologically. They don’t give you any time to enjoy your purchase before they’re screaming at you to buy something else. I’d rather save up for a lovely piece of makeup and enjoy it until I use it up.
Kelly girl your hair is KILLING IT✨✨ but yea I agree CT is just too overhyped when there are dupes for way cheaper! That’s why I love your channel you keep it real and you just state your opinion
The problem with the Ulta brand products is there are great hidden gems but so much of the line is mediocre or not great. I wish they would get rid of the junk and listen to the reviews and focus on the good stuff.
@@ahsu0208 I have been pleased with most every Sephora product I have tried. Their single eyeshadows and gel lip liners are fabulous. A friend loves their blushes. what's annoying is when they discontinue great products like their Jelly Melt lip stain and Lip Clicks lipstick.
I thought about a video I saw Caroline Hirons did a couple of years ago. Hate the packaging, love the juice. It was cute. She was telling brands how much she loved different products, but hated the package they came in. Sounds like you have a few that fall there.
Good to hear your thoughts! I love your hair look and earrings! I love Burt’s bees blushes and I swear they are best I’ve tried from drugstore! It’s funny you say that about toasted cinnamon because I think that shade would look so pretty on you but it’s funny cuz I got rid of the pink shade because I didn’t love the way it looked on me but now those shades are so popular that I kinda want to get it again! I love bare minerals blonzer! I need to try their powder foundation, I only tried liquid one that I didn’t like that much but I do think the powder one is good! I agree fenty is so good- I keep buying their highlighters and lip glosses! I definitely want to try saie liquid blushes!
I never see any influencers talk about Trish McEvoy. I maybe dating myself but some of the products I always go back to - Light & Lift Face Color Duo, Instant Eye Lift, & High Volume Mascara (tubing) 😊
I started using bareMinerals when they were Bare Escentuals. I still prefer their loose products in pots. There were absolutely stunning colors and textures for eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, highlighter, etc. Dry products in pots don’t go bad, which made the cost very reasonable. Some of the eyeshadows and one blush I had from when they first opened, and they were still good. I’m not nearly as impressed with the products since Shiseido bought them, but I still had a lot of them in my collection. The colors skew more warm than they used to, but that’s my only complaint. I had so many irreplaceable colors, and I’m sad that I lost them.
I was skeptical of BareMinerals for YEARS because the first time I heard of the brand was on an infomercial. Tbh it wasn’t until Kelly hyped them up so much that I gave them a chance!
The lid on my kosas concealer also broke and I wasn’t even that tough with it. I would rather just get my drugstore concealer than pay $28 for a concealer with a lid that is just going to break before you even have a chance to use it up.
I love Flower Beauty! I would add Honest Beauty to that list as well! And I just got the Morphe 2 skin tint & concealer and they are fantastic! I feel like Touch in Sol’s primers don’t get enough hype. And I love the Pixi eyeliners.
I haven’t tried a ton from R.E.M., but what I have tried are the liquid shadows (they come in a little pill-looking tube), and I’m kind of in love! I have two of the matte shades and the glittery/shimmery shade in fembot (which is absolutely stunning). Practically every day since I got the matte shades I’ll use it as a base all over my eye then pop a shimmer on the lid and it’s so easy but looks so pretty. I highly recommend those!
Same! I just picked up 2 matte shades while they were on sale, so easy and lasted all day on my hooded eyes! I was so impressed and loved the colors, it can be so hard to find liquid/cream matte eyecolors in certain colors. The packaging is nice too, it has some weight to it
I totally agree about Colourpop. I think their products are good for the price and one of the better drugstore-priced brands, but I have yet to use anything from them that's my absolute favorite.
I have alot that are favorites. I can't remember the names of them all but the Not a Box of Chocolates, amazing. I'm a neutral girl, I'm an age I can't wear all the ridiculous bright colors or so called special multichromes, that are not flattering on most people
I bought into the Kosas hype. Have been using NARS radiant creamy concealer for years and bought the Kosas one not too long ago to use when I run out. Still haven't tried it though! And Rare Beauty blush imo do live up to the hype, you can get so many wears out of one bottle. I imagine it could last me years if makeup didn't expire.
Have you tried Lisa Eldridge's makeup? I've only seen a few people talking about it, but I heard that the quality is amazing. It's on the high end/luxury side, though.
This was fun Kelly! I agree that Fenty is accurately rated, i’m slowly trying more from them and have never been let down! I’ve used up their eaze drop skin tint almost completely 😍 I feel like Natasha Denona is overhyped. I do have some pretty palettes from them but I feel like mostly it’s not worth the price tag.
@@GlamBySam Kelly is my makeup opposite. Everything she hates I end up LOVING, and a lot of the things she loves that I have used I hate. I find it hilarious 😂
I really love fentys shade range on everything! But sometimes the formulas don't work for me. Like the foundation. Love the shade ranges but hate the formulas....I was so excited when I saw 5 different shades of red for their brow pencil instead of the basic auburn, caramel, and the supposed universal taupe. But I don't love the formula on that one either.
Fully agree with Flower Beauty. Their brushes in particular are what I've really latched onto! And recently I found a new love for the blush bombs because I LOVE mixing it with other creams, but mainly other powders. I've scraped some of my nabla highlighters into them and it's a stunning effect. I've also hopped on the fenty train, (I have the cream blush and powder foundation) and it's kinda annoying how much I like everything because they are pricey. but THANK GOD they're sold at Ulta now and I can use some points.
If you have hooded oily lids, the Ulta brand eyeshadow primer is THE BEST. I love it so much. I just wish it came with an applicator because I don't like using my fingers to apply stuff on my eyes, but that is just me being picky. It dries matte and works like a dream.
I bought the highlighter from flower beauty that you recommended as a dupe for Charlotte tilbury. It is coming in the mail, but I am excited to try it.
I absolutely love your hair color, Kelly. I also want to say I would be very happy to pay a lot less for a product with less beautiful packaging. Packaging is overrated...a lot.
I was just thinking that the other day. I find it incredibly ridiculous that some makeup influencers almost humanize the packaging of these high end products. They are "interacting" with the packaging and justifying the high price points because of it. When did packaging become more important than performance??
Charlotte Tilbury may be too expensive and a bit hyped, but nothing works for me like that brand does! 80% of my makeup that are holy grail is from CT exept foundation and blush! Everything else is just perfect! Looove it! :)
Lol as I’m watching this video you downloaded the Fenty best and worst and it popped up on my notifications lol. Gotta try that bare minerals powder foundation now. And I honestly think Pat McGrath labs is slightly over rated at least on RUclips it is. I own several of her Pallets and yes they’re great but nothing mind blowing to match the price besides the utterly amazing packaging. Her packaging of her mothership pallets is breathtaking !!! So heavy and that beveled mirror 🥰…But honestly If she puts one more gold or bronze shade in her next mothership pallet I’m going to scream !!!!
I love your nails! Also, I'm planning on getting some flower beauty soon. I've had the liquid blush and those shimmer palettes on my wishlist for awhile now. But! My bf just gave me an Amazon gift card for Christmas and I ordered the Catrice True Skin foundation and the Nyx Bare With Me concealer, thanks to your recommendations. I'm excited to try them. 😊 So far though, I've been impressed with what I've tried that you love.
yes actually it was my Kosas powder that had an issue where it doesn’t snap close because the plastic broke. That is a bummer. I agree with so many of the things you said 😊
I love bareMinerals Complexion Rescue- an all mineral spf 30 in a moisturizing tinted moisturizer base that feels so good and doesn’t irritate my allergic reactive skin. Charlotte T has several of my favourite products- Filmstar Bronze & Glow, Pillow Talk lipstick and liner along with the blush and eye quad. Simple easy daytime look that suits me. I love the Airbrush pressed powder, Pillow Talk mascara and the Brow Cheat. Those I reach for over & over but not her other stuff. My favourites from her just perform perfectly every single time. The rest aren’t great in my experience but it’s so individual. I hate several viral products- that glowgasm cheek stuff, cream eyeshadow, eyeliners and flawless filter. Yuck! I decluttered those! But people love them. Just not me.
The only thing from Kylie I have used is a concealer. Sephora had a huge sale on it sometime back when I was searching for a concealer to cover my dark circles I now have. It works fairly well, but I am still searching for something for my mature eyes. An over 50 sub here!
I’ve never been able to pay CT prices even though I’ve purchased many a high end product. Maybe it’s all the comments/videos like these reporting how overhyped the whole brand is.
Bareminerals is my favourite brand. I have tons of products from them, they're all so good! The original powder foundation, loose blushes, eyeshadow etc. I'm sad all their shops and counters have gone in uk
the only product i do not like from Fenty is their liquid highlight. it does not dry down, stays sticky on my face, and throughout the day, i can feel my hair getting stuck in it!
I think Charlotte Tilbury excels at cheek products 🤔 They are stunning and I'm anticipating the new powder highlighters. Fenty does great primers in particular. The soft matte one is a holy grail with combination sensitive skin. I'd love to try Flower beauty, but it's hard to find in my country. A brand I think is slept on is Lethal Cosmetics, in particular their face products. They have gorgeous blushes and highlighters! They never let me down and their range of colours is some of the best out there. They had red before it was a thing and they have an orange shade for any skin tone. Their lilac blush Hybrid is perfection for jellyfish pale beings such as myself 😆👌🏻 Their bronzer/contour options are also there.
I feel the same about Charlotte Tilbury she only releases the same color stories for eyeshadows & cheek palettes over and over again but I also think Natasha Denona is also overrated she’s only known for eyeshadows with same color stories the same goes to Huda beauty and PatMcgraph those 4 brands are so overly overrated and hyped to oblivion that I can’t hear their names anymore I also kinda agree with Colourpop too but yet Colourpop is too affordable with high quality makeup for their amazing price range so I can’t really complain about Colourpop and everything I’ve tried from them I haven’t been disappointed with so just my opinion and my my take on that 😌✨💕
@@danalichvar3460 I’m sorry for you and your money I think makeup shouldn’t be that expensive at all especially if the formula doesn’t add up to the price
Thanks for this video. Also…When you get a chance can you compare Rare bronzer with the Fenty that you have? Angelica Nyqvist mentioned Rare bronzer is the best formula she’s ever tried. I know you both are a decade apart in age and live in different climates but I appreciate both of your honest opinions when purchasing quality products. Thanks in advance.
Hi i adore charlotte Tilbury , and own almost all her products , yes her products are expensive however i have never had cause for concern from her brand , Also i have used estee lauder from the age of 16 yrs old and will continue to do so i buy all their products for all my complexion products which includes skin care , in face i have never used drug store makeup ever.
The Fenty cream blushes and bronzer are amazing I have Butta biscuit in the cream bronzer and it’s the perfect cool toned bronzer I am fair neutral and the cheeks out blush in cupid is amazing also they both blend out sheer and buildable in fact my 12 year old is extremely fair and they work great on her . Can’t wait to see your Fenty video
Got a good laugh when you mentioned REM because I said aloud "Those Interstellar highlighters were horrible" right when you mentioned liking Miss Mercury. 😂 Different strokes for different folks. That also applies to CT and Fenty, for me. I'm by no means a Charlotte Tilbury stan but I do like all of the cosmetics I've tried from the brand and there are a few I won't be without (mascara in Dream Pop, Exaggereyes quad, Light Wand); whereas, Fenty I wanted to like but haven't had any luck with anything aside from the Poutsicle which only comes in three colours and is never in stock! I wonder if demographics has anything to do with it because I'm an old broad and CT does seem a bit more targeted toward an older age group than Fenty. 🤷🏻♀️
Loved this video Kelly!!! My list… Overrated: Charlotte Tilbury, ColourPop, Underrated/Needs more Love: Kiko Milano, Flower Beauty, Nabla, Dose of Colors Worth the Hype: Victoria Beckham Beauty, LYS, Milani, Natasha Denona
I wore Bare Minerals powder foundation for about 25 years (back when you could only buy it through infomercials..lol). It covered my rosacea better than anything on the market! Unfortunately, menopause and dry skin put a screeching halt to that 😭 I've had to go back to my high school method of liquid foundation and it totally sucks. I'll forever miss that Bare Minerals!
Sephora Collection has some great products that are pretty affordable. I haven't tried a whole lot from them, but I've been impressed with the things I have tried. I really like their matte bronzer, although I think they might have reformulated it from the one I have.
I love the Ulta brand nude color matte eye shadow primer. I have tried others and nothing holds my eye shadow in place for 14 hours like that eye shadow primer.
For me Overhyped: Pat McGrath Deserve the hype: Rare Beauty and Elf Deserve more hype: Smashbox and Iconic London I agree with almost all of your takes though I haven’t been temped to buy or try any REM but love Cloud.
All year I've wanted to purchase something from Charlotte Tilbury to try the brand for the first time. I came close with the new blush palette (looked gorgeous 😍), but I talked myself out of it once I watched so many negative reviews saying that it was very hard pressed. IMO $75 is too expensive for it not to be a homerun.
I'd say try an airbrush powder, flawless filter or one of the wands. Those IMO are superior, also available in minis! Other products are good, but not mind blowing
I love Charlotte Tilbury. She is quite pricey 😬 & I think thats where people struggle!!! I'd loveee her quad, but that's definitely outta my price range for 4 palettes!!! Once I'm done with school, & land my nursing job lol maybeee it won't bother me 🤑
I bought the Burt’s Bees liquid highlighter that you recommended. I loved but mine also broke. The tip completely separated and im going to have to throw it out! 😢
Have you tried the Flower Beauty concealer? It was my favorite, and I repurchased it twice, but I ran out and I decided to try other concealers and I kind of regret not just repurchasing.
I keep hearing how great Moira Cosmetics is to use. It is said to be a better, affordable alternative to Colourpop. What are your thoughts? Have you tried Believe Beauty? I am in love with their eyeliners and foundation. The prices cannot be beat and the eye liner reminds me of Clinique's.
That Charlotte Tilbury comment of rolling their eyes is spot on. I feel the same with CT and Natasha Denona
Agreed. I will never watch a review of Natasha Denona products because I just don’t think there are deserving of the hype RUclipsrs give them. And at this point, I think it’s only RUclipsrs sustaining Natasha Denona. I don’t think I know one person who doesn’t watch RUclips that has a ND product

I bought the cream bronzer stick a few days ago and love it! I ordered a cream blush, and its coming soon.
I can see how Charlotte Tilbury is overhyped especially because they’re not a brand I’d call diverse when it comes to their products as everything is mostly pink which won’t work for a lot of complexions, however, for myself I love the brand because as a red head I find her products complement me as a whole meaning that literally the entire brand works for me and my complexion and it’s nicely luxurious.
Thank you for including Flower Beauty! I think they are one of the most under rated brands!
I enjoy the Burt’s bees products I’ve tried, I love the sheer blush stick. However, their branding has always turned me off, kind of like “clean beauty” despite now being owned by colorex 😂 but that blush stick is one of my holy grails
The BareMinerals powder blushes are GORGEOUS. So smoothing and such flattering colours. I especially love Beige for Days and Strike a Rose. ❤ Looking forward to the Fenty video!
I looove BareMinerals! I’ve been using the brand (particularly the radiant foundation) sine I was 16 and you’re right it’s so light weight and perfect for spot concealing, it gives a nice glow to the face without looking patchy❤
P.S OMG I’m glad I’m not the only one that thinks the Kosas concealer cap is cheap. I cracked my cap too the first time I tried it 😢 (I like to tightly squeeze my caps) and my ocd is killing me knowing that it’s there lol but yes they need to change the cap because it’s way too fragile!
Pop a little eyelash glue under the burts bee pan...it will keep it in but it’s easy enough to pry out if needed.
I’ve done it several times and not had a pan fall out on me again 👍🏻
I think rare is worth the hype. Everything I’ve tried is such nice quality and has great packaging. It’s high end while still not being too expensive. I love the experience of using the brand.
Bare minerals invisible bronzer is my HG! it has a clear base and you "can't" see it, your face looks warm but you can't tell it's bronzer, it's wild. It is no makeup makeup.
You are such a ray of sunshine to my days, thank you for your content. I am 58 and have been using Charlotte Tilbury before Tiktok even existed! I love Flower Beauty. I can do a full face of either. Underrated: Purlisse Illuminating BB cream. I never hear anyone talking about Purlisse, and I just love their products. XO
Yes! The BB cream is a great product! I should try more products from that brand because I also love the priming moisturizer for oily skin. (However, I can't wear the BB cream in the summer really but it's perfect for right now)
9:00 Jen Phelps has long been a fan of Flower Beauty an other lesser known high quality brands, and is exemplary at finding dupes for eyeshadow palettes.
The thing I like most about Colour Pop is that products are made as close to on-demand as possible and they are flexible enough to switch things quickly. This means a lower carbon footprint and less waste.*
*This information is based on a documentary from a few years ago, so that may not be the case anymore.
I love Colourpop, I honestly only hear bad things about them which makes me sad because I really do think they’ve the best eyeshadow formula at the drugstore. All anyone talks about Colourpop is about how much they launch and I definitely agree they launch too much, but I rarely see anyone talk about how good they are.
I love colourpop. I think it's people complaining about all the drops. As in another brand we don't have to buy it all. I like I get more for my money.
I love your content so much!!! Your underrated brands are *on point*! I totally trust your recommendations 1000% but most importantly… you only shop cruelty-free beauty! Keep it up girl💕🥹
Charlotte Tilbury is very overhyped but I love her products, the beautiful skin foundation, powder and film star bronze and glow give me such a great complexion and I love her eye shadow shades, the pillow talk eyeliner and lipstick. It’s so overpriced but I can’t resist, it just looks so much better on me than what I used to use
I have baseboard heaters in each room of my house and I imagine it’s the same as living with a radiator. Freezing or sweating, and the dry air really gets to me after a while!
I would include Profusion and Kokie in the underrated category, too.
I am over ColourPop. The fast fashion business model is so toxic-bad for our budgets, bad for the environment, bad for us psychologically. They don’t give you any time to enjoy your purchase before they’re screaming at you to buy something else. I’d rather save up for a lovely piece of makeup and enjoy it until I use it up.
Kelly girl your hair is KILLING IT✨✨ but yea I agree CT is just too overhyped when there are dupes for way cheaper! That’s why I love your channel you keep it real and you just state your opinion
The problem with the Ulta brand products is there are great hidden gems but so much of the line is mediocre or not great. I wish they would get rid of the junk and listen to the reviews and focus on the good stuff.
the sephora brand seems very good on the other hand
@@ahsu0208 I have been pleased with most every Sephora product I have tried. Their single eyeshadows and gel lip liners are fabulous. A friend loves their blushes. what's annoying is when they discontinue great products like their Jelly Melt lip stain and Lip Clicks lipstick.
I thought about a video I saw Caroline Hirons did a couple of years ago. Hate the packaging, love the juice. It was cute. She was telling brands how much she loved different products, but hated the package they came in. Sounds like you have a few that fall there.
Good to hear your thoughts! I love your hair look and earrings! I love Burt’s bees blushes and I swear they are best I’ve tried from drugstore! It’s funny you say that about toasted cinnamon because I think that shade would look so pretty on you but it’s funny cuz I got rid of the pink shade because I didn’t love the way it looked on me but now those shades are so popular that I kinda want to get it again! I love bare minerals blonzer! I need to try their powder foundation, I only tried liquid one that I didn’t like that much but I do think the powder one is good! I agree fenty is so good- I keep buying their highlighters and lip glosses! I definitely want to try saie liquid blushes!
I would love to see a hair video from you! I mean your hair is gorgeous and I need details (how do you style, color, etc.)
I LOVE Bareminerals base products!!! My Holy Grail for life! I've been using it for YEARS and will always have it in my collection.
I never see any influencers talk about Trish McEvoy. I maybe dating myself but some of the products I always go back to - Light & Lift Face Color Duo, Instant Eye Lift, & High Volume Mascara (tubing) 😊
I have several things from Uoma Beauty and I really like their eyeshadow, lipstick, lipliner, brow and powder.
Really needed this distraction... thank you so much
I started using bareMinerals when they were Bare Escentuals. I still prefer their loose products in pots. There were absolutely stunning colors and textures for eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, highlighter, etc. Dry products in pots don’t go bad, which made the cost very reasonable. Some of the eyeshadows and one blush I had from when they first opened, and they were still good. I’m not nearly as impressed with the products since Shiseido bought them, but I still had a lot of them in my collection. The colors skew more warm than they used to, but that’s my only complaint. I had so many irreplaceable colors, and I’m sad that I lost them.
I was skeptical of BareMinerals for YEARS because the first time I heard of the brand was on an infomercial.
Tbh it wasn’t until Kelly hyped them up so much that I gave them a chance!
I have a two hour weather delay for work so I get to take my time getting ready this morning 🎉
Yay! I hope that you have a relaxing morning!
The lid on my kosas concealer also broke and I wasn’t even that tough with it. I would rather just get my drugstore concealer than pay $28 for a concealer with a lid that is just going to break before you even have a chance to use it up.
The rimmel kind and free concealer reminds me of Kosas concealer and is super cheap
I love Flower Beauty! I would add Honest Beauty to that list as well! And I just got the Morphe 2 skin tint & concealer and they are fantastic! I feel like Touch in Sol’s primers don’t get enough hype. And I love the Pixi eyeliners.
My Burt’s bees highlighter broke in the lid too! I put it in another container bc I love it
Excellent video, Kelly, thank you!
I just cannot justify the price of CT’s quads when the Natasha Denona minis are only $27 🤷🏻♀️
Were 25, and that's not cheap for 5 colors , we don't choose
I haven’t tried a ton from R.E.M., but what I have tried are the liquid shadows (they come in a little pill-looking tube), and I’m kind of in love! I have two of the matte shades and the glittery/shimmery shade in fembot (which is absolutely stunning). Practically every day since I got the matte shades I’ll use it as a base all over my eye then pop a shimmer on the lid and it’s so easy but looks so pretty. I highly recommend those!
Same! I just picked up 2 matte shades while they were on sale, so easy and lasted all day on my hooded eyes! I was so impressed and loved the colors, it can be so hard to find liquid/cream matte eyecolors in certain colors. The packaging is nice too, it has some weight to it
Ooh looking forward to the Fenty video! Pretty much agree with your opinions in this video too!
I totally agree about Colourpop. I think their products are good for the price and one of the better drugstore-priced brands, but I have yet to use anything from them that's my absolute favorite.
I have alot that are favorites. I can't remember the names of them all but the Not a Box of Chocolates, amazing. I'm a neutral girl, I'm an age I can't wear all the ridiculous bright colors or so called special multichromes, that are not flattering on most people
I love some Naj Oleari products: the Plumping Lipglosses and the True Icon Lipsticks. And Extreme Kajals by Pupa are stunning.
I bought into the Kosas hype. Have been using NARS radiant creamy concealer for years and bought the Kosas one not too long ago to use when I run out. Still haven't tried it though! And Rare Beauty blush imo do live up to the hype, you can get so many wears out of one bottle. I imagine it could last me years if makeup didn't expire.
Have you tried Lisa Eldridge's makeup? I've only seen a few people talking about it, but I heard that the quality is amazing. It's on the high end/luxury side, though.
This was fun Kelly! I agree that Fenty is accurately rated, i’m slowly trying more from them and have never been let down! I’ve used up their eaze drop skin tint almost completely 😍 I feel like Natasha Denona is overhyped. I do have some pretty palettes from them but I feel like mostly it’s not worth the price tag.
For me - I feel fenty is completely over rated except for the highlighters
@@RAnderwill Really! So fun how makeup is so different for everyone haha 😊
@@GlamBySam Kelly is my makeup opposite. Everything she hates I end up LOVING, and a lot of the things she loves that I have used I hate. I find it hilarious 😂
!
I really love fentys shade range on everything! But sometimes the formulas don't work for me. Like the foundation. Love the shade ranges but hate the formulas....I was so excited when I saw 5 different shades of red for their brow pencil instead of the basic auburn, caramel, and the supposed universal taupe. But I don't love the formula on that one either.
Fully agree with Flower Beauty. Their brushes in particular are what I've really latched onto! And recently I found a new love for the blush bombs because I LOVE mixing it with other creams, but mainly other powders. I've scraped some of my nabla highlighters into them and it's a stunning effect.
I've also hopped on the fenty train, (I have the cream blush and powder foundation) and it's kinda annoying how much I like everything because they are pricey. but THANK GOD they're sold at Ulta now and I can use some points.
Happy December Kelly🎅🎄❄️. Your the best judge of brands and know which are the best and worst. Your channel is the best!
If you have hooded oily lids, the Ulta brand eyeshadow primer is THE BEST. I love it so much. I just wish it came with an applicator because I don't like using my fingers to apply stuff on my eyes, but that is just me being picky. It dries matte and works like a dream.
I agree 100%. I've been using it for years!
@@Dracarys.. the matte one
I bought the highlighter from flower beauty that you recommended as a dupe for Charlotte tilbury. It is coming in the mail, but I am excited to try it.
Lol the same happened to my kosas concealer. I thought I just twisted it too tight. 😅
The gold hoops and slinky chain give me big 90s vibes today. I am super into it, so cute!
I absolutely love your hair color, Kelly. I also want to say I would be very happy to pay a lot less for a product with less beautiful packaging. Packaging is overrated...a lot.
I was just thinking that the other day. I find it incredibly ridiculous that some makeup influencers almost humanize the packaging of these high end products. They are "interacting" with the packaging and justifying the high price points because of it. When did packaging become more important than performance??
Girl, I love colourpop too, but some have been a miss for me too. Love the eye shadows ❤
Lisa Eldridge Makeup is accurately hyped. Expensive but stunning 🌟
I’m very interested in the small eyeshadow palettes from Fenty. Hope you are reviewing at least one of them!
Love when you do these types of videos and your ‘deep dives’
Charlotte Tilbury may be too expensive and a bit hyped, but nothing works for me like that brand does! 80% of my makeup that are holy grail is from CT exept foundation and blush! Everything else is just perfect! Looove it! :)
Lol as I’m watching this video you downloaded the Fenty best and worst and it popped up on my notifications lol. Gotta try that bare minerals powder foundation now. And I honestly think Pat McGrath labs is slightly over rated at least on RUclips it is. I own several of her Pallets and yes they’re great but nothing mind blowing to match the price besides the utterly amazing packaging. Her packaging of her mothership pallets is breathtaking !!! So heavy and that beveled mirror 🥰…But honestly If she puts one more gold or bronze shade in her next mothership pallet I’m going to scream !!!!
I love your nails! Also, I'm planning on getting some flower beauty soon. I've had the liquid blush and those shimmer palettes on my wishlist for awhile now. But! My bf just gave me an Amazon gift card for Christmas and I ordered the Catrice True Skin foundation and the Nyx Bare With Me concealer, thanks to your recommendations. I'm excited to try them. 😊 So far though, I've been impressed with what I've tried that you love.
yes actually it was my Kosas powder that had an issue where it doesn’t snap close because the plastic broke. That is a bummer. I agree with so many of the things you said 😊
I always get so excited seeing a new video from you!!!
Thank you for watching!!!
Can we see some of Tilly in vlogmas please?
I love bareMinerals Complexion Rescue- an all mineral spf 30 in a moisturizing tinted moisturizer base that feels so good and doesn’t irritate my allergic reactive skin. Charlotte T has several of my favourite products- Filmstar Bronze & Glow, Pillow Talk lipstick and liner along with the blush and eye quad. Simple easy daytime look that suits me. I love the Airbrush pressed powder, Pillow Talk mascara and the Brow Cheat. Those I reach for over & over but not her other stuff. My favourites from her just perform perfectly every single time. The rest aren’t great in my experience but it’s so individual. I hate several viral products- that glowgasm cheek stuff, cream eyeshadow, eyeliners and flawless filter. Yuck! I decluttered those! But people love them. Just not me.
The only thing from Kylie I have used is a concealer. Sephora had a huge sale on it sometime back when I was searching for a concealer to cover my dark circles I now have. It works fairly well, but I am still searching for something for my mature eyes. An over 50 sub here!
I'm cackling at the thought of little you Hulking out on your product lids and breaking them.
I’ve never been able to pay CT prices even though I’ve purchased many a high end product. Maybe it’s all the comments/videos like these reporting how overhyped the whole brand is.
Bareminerals is my favourite brand. I have tons of products from them, they're all so good! The original powder foundation, loose blushes, eyeshadow etc. I'm sad all their shops and counters have gone in uk
the only product i do not like from Fenty is their liquid highlight. it does not dry down, stays sticky on my face, and throughout the day, i can feel my hair getting stuck in it!
Bare minerals has a good brow stick. It's pigmented and hold up on my skin.
I love your new hair color !
It really shines next to the Charlotte Tilbury logo...💋🧚🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
I think Charlotte Tilbury excels at cheek products 🤔 They are stunning and I'm anticipating the new powder highlighters. Fenty does great primers in particular. The soft matte one is a holy grail with combination sensitive skin. I'd love to try Flower beauty, but it's hard to find in my country. A brand I think is slept on is Lethal Cosmetics, in particular their face products. They have gorgeous blushes and highlighters! They never let me down and their range of colours is some of the best out there. They had red before it was a thing and they have an orange shade for any skin tone. Their lilac blush Hybrid is perfection for jellyfish pale beings such as myself 😆👌🏻 Their bronzer/contour options are also there.
I feel the same about Charlotte Tilbury she only releases the same color stories for eyeshadows & cheek palettes over and over again but I also think Natasha Denona is also overrated she’s only known for eyeshadows with same color stories the same goes to Huda beauty and PatMcgraph those 4 brands are so overly overrated and hyped to oblivion that I can’t hear their names anymore I also kinda agree with Colourpop too but yet Colourpop is too affordable with high quality makeup for their amazing price range so I can’t really complain about Colourpop and everything I’ve tried from them I haven’t been disappointed with so just my opinion and my my take on that 😌✨💕
Ok YES and PMG formula is subpar in my experience! I dont understand the price point on these whatsoever, I want my money back!
@@danalichvar3460 I’m sorry for you and your money I think makeup shouldn’t be that expensive at all especially if the formula doesn’t add up to the price
Oh hell nah leave momma Pat out of this 😂😅
@@jaymindyabiz6266 She’s way too expensive for so many people’s price range like I don’t even think they’re worth the money just my in my opinion 😅
Thanks for this video. Also…When you get a chance can you compare Rare bronzer with the Fenty that you have? Angelica Nyqvist mentioned Rare bronzer is the best formula she’s ever tried. I know you both are a decade apart in age and live in different climates but I appreciate both of your honest opinions when purchasing quality products. Thanks in advance.
Hi i adore charlotte Tilbury , and own almost all her products , yes her products are expensive however i have never had cause for concern from her brand , Also i have used estee lauder from the age of 16 yrs old and will continue to do so i buy all their products for all my complexion products which includes skin care , in face i have never used drug store makeup ever.
The Fenty cream blushes and bronzer are amazing I have Butta biscuit in the cream bronzer and it’s the perfect cool toned bronzer I am fair neutral and the cheeks out blush in cupid is amazing also they both blend out sheer and buildable in fact my 12 year old is extremely fair and they work great on her . Can’t wait to see your Fenty video
I have a Burt’s bees lip tint I have been wearing for years and LOVE
Got a good laugh when you mentioned REM because I said aloud "Those Interstellar highlighters were horrible" right when you mentioned liking Miss Mercury. 😂 Different strokes for different folks. That also applies to CT and Fenty, for me. I'm by no means a Charlotte Tilbury stan but I do like all of the cosmetics I've tried from the brand and there are a few I won't be without (mascara in Dream Pop, Exaggereyes quad, Light Wand); whereas, Fenty I wanted to like but haven't had any luck with anything aside from the Poutsicle which only comes in three colours and is never in stock! I wonder if demographics has anything to do with it because I'm an old broad and CT does seem a bit more targeted toward an older age group than Fenty. 🤷🏻♀️
So true. Different strokes, yes. WWE all have different tastes, our skin and age everything matters, our comfort levels. I like natural highlight
Loved this video Kelly!!! My list…
Overrated: Charlotte Tilbury, ColourPop,
Underrated/Needs more Love: Kiko Milano, Flower Beauty, Nabla, Dose of Colors
Worth the Hype: Victoria Beckham Beauty, LYS, Milani, Natasha Denona
My kosas concealer cap shattered really early on too. I have it taped up, but I think it’s drying out and I’m so sad!
I wore Bare Minerals powder foundation for about 25 years (back when you could only buy it through infomercials..lol). It covered my rosacea better than anything on the market! Unfortunately, menopause and dry skin put a screeching halt to that 😭 I've had to go back to my high school method of liquid foundation and it totally sucks. I'll forever miss that Bare Minerals!
I'm 56 and still use and love the bareminerals original. The only difference is I now use it with a primer. The laura mercier one is very good
The top on my Kosas concealer also cracked-and pretty early on.
Sephora Collection has some great products that are pretty affordable. I haven't tried a whole lot from them, but I've been impressed with the things I have tried. I really like their matte bronzer, although I think they might have reformulated it from the one I have.
Pop washi tape around twist lids...if any of mine crack I tape them with cute washi tape...and problem fixed 👍🏻
I love the Ulta brand nude color matte eye shadow primer. I have tried others and nothing holds my eye shadow in place for 14 hours like that eye shadow primer.
I agree, it is the best. No creasing and my eyeshadow still looks great before I wash it off at night
I really think the placement of the Ulta brand is a problem.. it’s on the side and easily missed. It’s their brand! Should be right in front.
For me
Overhyped: Pat McGrath
Deserve the hype: Rare Beauty and Elf
Deserve more hype: Smashbox and Iconic London
I agree with almost all of your takes though I haven’t been temped to buy or try any REM but love Cloud.
All year I've wanted to purchase something from Charlotte Tilbury to try the brand for the first time. I came close with the new blush palette (looked gorgeous 😍), but I talked myself out of it once I watched so many negative reviews saying that it was very hard pressed. IMO $75 is too expensive for it not to be a homerun.
I'd say try an airbrush powder, flawless filter or one of the wands. Those IMO are superior, also available in minis! Other products are good, but not mind blowing
@@alexandrrra5627 thank you for your recommendations! I'll look into these.
I love Charlotte Tilbury. She is quite pricey 😬 & I think thats where people struggle!!! I'd loveee her quad, but that's definitely outta my price range for 4 palettes!!! Once I'm done with school, & land my nursing job lol maybeee it won't bother me 🤑
I swatched the fenty brown liner on my hand and it literally stayed for days and I had to scrub hard to gwt it off 🙃
I bought the Burt’s Bees liquid highlighter that you recommended. I loved but mine also broke. The tip completely separated and im going to have to throw it out! 😢
Have you tried the Flower Beauty concealer? It was my favorite, and I repurchased it twice, but I ran out and I decided to try other concealers and I kind of regret not just repurchasing.
I thought Burts Bee wasn’t cruelty free. This is the why I stopped to buy, so they are cruelty free? Does someone know?
I enjoy the kosas tinted oil
TOTALLY looking forward to the Fenty video. I love Fenty, and I think it deserves the hype it gets.
Totally agree on CT and ColourPop!!?
Rose Inc is also underrated. Those are beautiful products too.
I like the CT spray and that is it. Bought a lipsticks and was so disappointed.
I keep hearing how great Moira Cosmetics is to use. It is said to be a better, affordable alternative to Colourpop. What are your thoughts? Have you tried Believe Beauty? I am in love with their eyeliners and foundation. The prices cannot be beat and the eye liner reminds me of Clinique's.
