I have to say, I absolutely love the inserts you put in your videos showing you applying products. I know it must take longer to edit and put together but it is *so* helpful and really takes your videos to the next level. I know if you’ve featured a product I will not find a better review or analysis on it. Thank you!
This is SO true. I truly haven't found better review or comparison content ANYWHERE than Amanda Z and I've LOOKED
ME TOO! Subscribing 🙂
I agree completely
Exactly!
I bought the Urban Decay Space Cowboy eyeshadow because of you. & it’s my favorite eyeshadow now. My husband said I like your eye shadow it looks wet. & I was like wow “you get it”… lol 😂
Thats incredible 🤣✨✨
I bought ritz not too long ago on a whim, and it’s become such a staple in my collection. For a long time, I was looking for something that just looked like a translucent wet shine, and Ritz was exactly that. I couldn’t believe I just stumbled into it randomly.
Mariah Leonard has been hyping up Ritz for years. Check out her channel if you haven’t already, it’s the besssst ❤️
The missha dewy glossy eyes r bomb too
@@jacquelinedaniels87 I LOOOVe the white and orange shades in these. Maybe it's just me but I find the pink one really lacklustre...like it's not that sparkly for some reason! But the other shades are stunning. Beautifully wet!
You should try the Jelly Much shadows, too. There is nothing "Jelly" about them. They're really gorgeous and there are some amazing shades for sale on the Colourpop website right now! (Sage Bundle, Buttercup, Hallucinogenus and She Grown) They're just super gorgeous cream shadows and the pics on the website don't look anything like them. 😍
In the end, Idon’t see the difference between putting a sponge applicator on your face vs putting a doe foot applicator on your face. That being said, I prefer a pump or a squeeze tube 🤷🏻♀️
I like to make my own “blonzer”. Cream bronzer on the back of my hand with a few drops of liquid blush. Blend w finger and tap on. I love it. :)
Will definitely try. Thanks for the great idea!
Consider selling it
You think I’m kidding
ABH made millions off less
Great suggestion thanks!
Such a smart way to use my liquid nars!!! Thank you!!!
Have you tried the Daniel Sandler Watercolor, blushes, bronzers and highlighters? Also, if you mix a Rare Beauty Liquid Blush and Highlighter, they make for a really beautiful cheek product that way. I don't love them singly, though.
The hoops and that lip are giving me “young 2000s celebs, but classy” and I’m loving it
I bought Ritz about a year ago (I think Mariah Leonard recommended it in one of her one shadow videos). I use it often when ever I want an easy look that I know will look really nice. Excited to hear that it's a dupe for Space Cowboy because I know that Colourpop sometimes randomly discontinues products and I can use up a SuperShock shadow rather quickly. Awesome video!
I agree about the blonzer from bare minerals. I thought it was just me it was a glittery mess on my skin. I was kind of pissed I didn't return it cuz I don't return makeup but I felt duped no one else said it but you. I appreciate your honesty.
A lot of people says that the milani soft focus glow is the CLOSEST dupe for the flawless filter even more than the maybelline one
I’m going back watching Amanda’s older videos, and I have to say, she is one of the best beauty content creators on RUclips. Her videos are so, so well done.
Yeah I also don't say dupe lightly and I couldn't agree more that Ritz is truly a spot on shade/finish dupe for Space Cowboy. They're both amazing! Also I don't think we have that Maybelline product in Canada yet but the SECOND WE DO
I find ritz to be slightly more of a larger glitter particle than space cowboy. I bought ritz thinking it would be a dupe but it’s not the same, doesn’t give as much of a shiny finish, rather a more glittery one.
Space Cowboy is my ultimate favorite. I have been using it for years. I usually put it over eye shadow every day. I have a few of the Colourpop palettes and I love the the glitter toppers and use them a lot. I think the Colourpop shadows fade a lo faster. The UD Space Cowboy does not fade. You put it on at 6am and at 10pm it is still going strong.
I love this series on your channel! Definitely a great approach to a traditional "dupes" video. I want that Honest Beauty blush now!
Your make up looks great in this video
Thank you so much!
What base are you wearing in this vid? Foundation and powder
If I had to choose between a doe foot applicator or a sponge tip, I would go for the sponge tip every time. The reinserted doe foot into the product takes bacteria with it - every single time it's used! Whereas, the sponge tip will gather the bacteria on the actual sponge. Keeping the sponge tip as clean as possible is key to reducing the bacteria.
Thankfully, the formulas contain ingredients to prevent the products from "spoiling".
These dupes are fantastic and you've given many products to save money without losing the finish the high end products provide. 👍👍💗💗
Something about your makeup in this video is serving me mid 2010s Victoria’s Secret fashion show vibes ! i mean that as a positive haha
I saw the thumbnail and I immediately recognized Ritz.
I bought it on a whim, never used glitter before. But it's just so stunning, I can't put it down! 😍
You enjoy comparing products, we super duper enjoy when you compare products! ☺ A huge THANK YOU to you! You are so appreciated! 🌻
I wish someone would explain to me why a doe foot is more hygienic than the sponge applicator, the doe foot you're dragging directly across your skin or mouth or eyelids or undereyes and then jamming back into the bottle full of product whereas the sponge applicator at least isn't simmering inside a bottle of product. Plus you can pull it off if you don't want to use it. It's messy and stupid, YES, but I side eye the hygiene claims.
For me, I just think the sponge tip is messier 🤷♀️
I totally know what you mean, I feel like the larger the sponge, the more surface area to hold bacteria. None of it is really super hygienic but that certainly isn’t stopping me from using it 🤣
Yeah it's a silly argument. Both products will have a preservative system that will keep the integrity of the product through the application and life of product.
Also, if you're applying your makeup to a cleansed face, as you should be, it really doesn't make a difference, and in cases where it 'would', the sponge tip would still be more 'hygienic' (preservatives and preservative systems formulated into the cosmetics themselves notwithstanding)
Someone said it once on youtube cause they probably felt like the dried out product that collects there looks yucky and everyone else just repeated like parrots. It does not have any merit behind it.
So funny because I just bought both blushes within a week of each other and realized how similar they are just today and then your video pops up! Love your thorough reviews💗
As always, this was so helpful! I love the Physicians Formula plumper and agree 100% that the Too Faced feels VERY irritating and damaging to the lips. I'd love to try the Maybelline Skin Perfector but unfortunately as with many popular new products, it appears to be sold out at the moment.
I love these videos. I don’t wear a lot of makeup and I like seeing what products I can justify buying. Appreciate you so much, thanks for all your hard work and taking so much time to make these.
I just bought Ritz because I was eyeing up Space Cowboy but needed to get some Colourpop concealer too, thanks for the recommendation!
I just ordered my first CP eyeshadow. I ordered Ritz and while I was there I picked up Chirp (a warm coral with a gold sheen), which looks orangey! Thanks for another great video
Just found your channel and so glad I did! Fabulous dahling, simply fabulous!!! Love how thorough you are and the close ups of your actual skin and not a filter is so refreshing! ✌🏼🖤💋
I waited 9 months and paid double the price to finally get my hands on Colourpop Ritz from a reseller (they don't ship to my country) but when it arrived IT WAS WORTH IT. Looked like water glimmering on my eyelids 🥰
How do u get it to look like that??? Mine just looks like glitter...
@@rosytellez21 it’s not the same as space cowboy. Space cowboy has super tiny glitter particles in it that give off a wet look in the light, but ritz just looks like glitter.. disappointing considering everyone thinks it’s a dupe
@@sophias1670 I got space cowboy also, it looks better but also looks like glitter. But you're right Ritz is just straight up glitter
I bought Ritz because it was described as a dupe for Space Cowboy and the colors are exactly the same, but something about Space Cowboy has an extra bit of oomph that I couldn't find with Ritz. That being said, I wear both often, but I find Space Cowboy's sheerer base is really nice for when I want to layer a sparkle on the lid and tone down anything that is a tad too overwhelming in brightness.
Agreed! I’ve owned both, and I personally think the individual shimmers are more apparent in Ritz in a way that makes that illusion of “wetness” a bit less effective than Space Cowboy.
I really wish Maybelline will stop using sponged tip applicators on their products.
When I first got the flawless filter, I swatched some on the back of my hand and ended up painting the whole back of my 37 year old hand with it and blew my mind and my friends minds because the hand it was on looked 10 years younger than the other hand and didn't look unnatural or made up or cakes or anything, just very dewy and shiny. I don't hear others talk about the age erasing quality of it but I put that stuff all over my face under the foundation. My hands look terrible and I'm serious, it was an amazing difference.
Oooh thanks!
wait until you try the Rom&nd the universe glitter eyeshadow #4( which is not glittery at all, it feels like silk!)... it just leaves a starry and wet eye lids for you... obsessed since I bought on yesstyle on a whim!
Is it called black hole?
@@Juno-nw9cw yes! It gives the perfect subtle holographic/starry eyes
If u want a highlighter that just looks like glowy skin but is still an actual highlighter go for the Stila Heavens Hue Highlight in Opulence. It's just a glossy looking glow that u can sheer out with a fluffy brush or build up with dence highlighting brush 😍😍💖💖
I need to try that highlighter!
I need to try the 4 in 1. I love the flawless filter, but it breaks me out for some reason. Love these videos!
Thankyou so much for all your wonderful videos. You are so professional, and have helped me so much with my make-up choices . I am a "mature lady", 😉, but even so , all your recommendations have been a great success 🙏.
I was so bamboozled going shopping, so many products, and i would end up buying things I never liked or used.
But thanks to all your hard, and time, I am finally loving my new makeup look.
You are amazing.
Best wishes from ibiza 💌
I agree on the CT flawless filter being hard to get all the product out especially towards the end. I started storing mine upside down and it helped so much!
Also I feel the milani bright side primer is just as good as the Ct flawless filter (for my shade anyways)
actually here for everything from Amanda =) my love for my maybelline color tattoos is onnnn, more than ever
hands down the best makeup I've seen you wear. this eye look is yours. that's where you live. so freaken beautiful ❤️
aww thank you so much 😊😊!!
I love how you explain the products and go more in depth. Most dupe videos I come across are like "look the shade is the same so it's a dupe!" Really enjoying your videos 💖
Just last night I used the Glow Recipe moisturiser and Jelly pop moisturiser, smelled the same and how I apply skincare, I only blot my face with a wet cloth and apply skincare. I couldn’t tell the difference but I also have the Elf Hydrating Water Essence ( the only product I consistently run out of and repurchase, BUT it’s been out of stock for months ) and used that first. I also used the Jelly Pop primer under my sunscreen when I had to sit on top a hill in my car in 90+ weather and high humidity, it was amazing for keeping my face intact, even with sweating buckets. I also have that Puff Puff primer that I use in winter it had the same sort of tack, but honey like and I’m oily but need to change for dry patches in winter. Also, I just rotate my products , don’t really dupe/replace and Glow Recipe is one brand where I actually see a change in my skin. I’m old, oily and congested skinned. If I use the hydrating water essence or the Pixi Glow Tonic my pores stay cleaner. I’m trying to find a replacement for the hydrating water essence as I only have a bottle left 😩
As always, super helpful! Thank you for all you do, Amanda 💙
what a beautiful make up! love the smudged liner with the glitter lids. chef's kiss
That Honest Beauty blush looks gorgeous on you!
I actually learned in one of Shelley Wilson’s videos that you can take the sponge off of the Maybelline Perfector!
I love this format. Regarding Space Cowboy. . .have you found a topper that is long lasting, adds a bit of translucent or transparent (better) reflection, and lacks glitter? I'd love Laura Mercier to do a Caviar Stick like that.
Oohh I wish I could find something like that. I don’t like glitter fallout.
I love your channel and watch every video! I especially love these and much prefer this format to the traditional dupes videos.
*immediately adding honest beauty Foxy to the wishlist*. Thank you!😍 It looks stunning on you!
I just found your channel. I really enjoy your style of review and thorough detail. And I LOVE your eyebrows! Gorgeous!
I love the age rewind sponge tbh it eases the blend so much than applying a blob🤷🏻♀️
Hi, Amanda! Has anyone mentioned the Almay Healthy Hue blush? I heard about it from the Garsow Twins and the Nearly Nude color is NOT nude, but a perfect blonzer color that is mega pigmented. I think you might like it!
Lawless forget the filler lip plumper is my gold standard. Its also the perfect base for long wear matte and liquid lipsticks.
I think the xx revolution skin glow Tinted booster can be a dube for the CT flawless filter and the maybelline corrector, it's between a skin tint and a highlighter and give the skin that perfect glow! And I love that it comes in a pump cause that maybelline packaging just isn't it for me 😅
The eyeshadow looks really good on your eyes. So pretty. Thanks.
This was the most helpful review of the Maybelline vs Charlotte Tilbury products I've seen so far! Thank you! Also, you remind me SO MUCH of Amy Adams!
I really enjoy these videos. I will definitely try the eye shadow recommendation. I just checked and it’s available at my local Ulta store. Thank you.
Love this! Thank you! Any chance you have a tutorial for your eye look in this video? It’s stunning!
Your eyeshadow lip and brows are amazing !!!!
I love this eye look! I always try to wing out shadow like that and it never looks right 😭
Your blush technique is so interesting ! I’ll have to try it like this sometime
Been searching high n low for the space cowboy dupe, thank u for this video!😭
It’s not really a dupe, the glitter is more chunky and doesn’t look as elegant as space cowboy. Don’t waste your time
Have all the sparkly cream shadows in my cart because of your latest video and now have to add Ritz.
Amanda putting in WORK for us
What mascara are you wearing? Your lashes look so soft and fluffy
Omg I am here for the maybelline number 🤩🤩
😊😊❤️
Love my Charlotte tilbury and have to confess after seeing you review the bare minerals blonzer in kiss of rose, I thought it was SO BEAUTIFUL on you I bought it and LOVE IT! I’m light w Irish skin .
love your detailed videos -and totally trust your opinion.. agree about Ritz..😍
U makeup looks amazing!! 😍😍💖💖
I LOVE your makeup in this video!!
You probably already did this makeup look on your channel, but its sooo pretty!!!
Oooh... so glad I saw this video. I've had space cowboy on my wish list for a while and was about to purchase it on Ulta but it was out of stock again. BUT, I own Ritz so now I don't have to get the Urban Decay one.
I’m really excited to try Ritz and the PF gloss now!
I have to check out Ritz! I’m pretty sure they carry that one in Ulta stores! I wonder if a lighter shade of the blonzer would look better on you. It looks like only Macy’s has it in stock anymore, kinda regret not picking it up at Sephora, it caught my attention with the blush/bronzer concept ✨
Just put Ritz on my eyes, then got to that part of the video. Eagerly awaiting the results
I have been binge watching your videos and this one came up. I purchased 3 moondusts due to your videos 😂😂😂 but seriously though, I think the physicians formula extreme shimmer shadows are relatively close to the moondusts even in texture. I'm waiting for my moondusts in the mail because I got them on black Friday. After looking at them though, I bet they're relatively similar. Have you tried those? They're honestly right up your alley if you haven't!!!!
Peppermint puckers, so to speak; Burt’s Bees lip stick version of Lipsmackers is loaded with menthol and is all natural the color free mint stick can be slicked on fine lines on a hectic day and around and over lip lines then put color over it! BB thinner color sticks don’t wear long but can be applied repeatedly and only feel better when your mouth is dry! I would love to have a lovely girl interest herself in Make-ups at Whole Foods to teach women about makeup so safe you can eat it and leaves a lovely sheer sheen on your skin!
I LOVE your eye look. What did you use as the shadow liner on the outer corne?
*You should try the Colourpop Jelly Much shadows, too. There is nothing "Jelly" about them. They're really gorgeous and there are some amazing shades for sale on the Colourpop website right now! (Sage Bundle, Buttercup, Hallucinogenus and She Grown) They're just super gorgeous cream shadows and the pics on the website don't look anything like them. They equally as gorgeous as Ritz, once applied they stay put until you remove them and they're easily applied with finger or brush.*
Fantastic video😻!! New subscriber🙋🏻♀️ love how well you explain. And I love how fresh and modern your makeup is💓to each their own but for me I’m really tired of the overdone look with tons of full coverage. Your looks are so FRESH😍🤓
Love these videos. And you look very pretty in this one!
*I don't know what's different about your eyebrows in this video (are they darker??) but they look awesome. Also, I really love your eye makeup in this video. FYI, you've gotta get the INC.REDIBLE Lid Slick Pigment in the shade 'Daily Dram.' It's gorgeous.* 😘
I can watch you everyday ! You look fabulous! So interested in the 4-1. Wondering 💭 if it will replace future dew. Based on your affordable eye cream Vid, I purchased ulta metallic in JAMZ. LOVE 💕. BTW What liner/shadow are you using in this vid??
I love your make up look in the video 😍
I love ❤ the Two faced lip plump extreme! 💋 I find it to be very hydrating on my lips in any color and has lasting power. But every one's lips are different and can be something in the formula that is causing a reaction. I will try your Physicians formula recommendation as well cause you can never have too many lip gloss/ plumpers! 🤣💙💙💙👍😁
Wow this is the earliest I've ever been ✨
Also if you are dead set on nicidamine in your primer go buy it for $6 from ordinary and mix it in 😍 but per my estiltisian if you are using a good moisturizer it will be in there!
Lip injection did nothing for me, no tingle at all. idk why not...I do want to try the alternative you suggested. 💙Tfs💜
Your natural nails are beautiful 🥰
Thank you!!!
Your make up is on point today ❤
The new Urban Decay moon dust shadows literally just came to an Australian retailer FINALLY 🥺
I love Ritz! It sent me down a path of searching out other similar formulas. If you have any wet looking shadows, please share! ☺️ I just tried out the Maybelline Glow product - I don’t have the Charlotte, but I really like the Maybelline for the super juicy skin highlight effect.
Hi Shanrell, korean cosmetics have some wonderful "wet" looking shadows! My favorite brands for that effect is Clio Cosmetics and 3ce ♡ hope that helps
Could you make a tutorial on your make up? Its so flattering on you
Natural look 😍 perfect
I bought color pop ritz because of this video and have to say it is different if you’re as picky as I am. The glitters are a bit bigger in ritz and give a bit more of a tacky look rather than a pretty, glossy look like what you get with space cowboy.
i love the maybelline age rewind concealer and hated the sponge tip because it was so messy. A simple fix to this is just pulling it off the top of the bottle, it's very easy to remove and the product comes out of a small tube so you can see how much it's disposing. It's less messy, more hygienic, and wastes way less product :)
I did the same thing
The tan on your face is gorgeous! What product did you use?
Beautiful green eyes♥️❤️
I just pull the sponge right off and it works great! There’s a little plastic tube under the sponge ;)
Please do a long video on different lip plumpers! I can personally recommend the primark one!
I have one!! Just posted last month check it out ❤️❤️
I like your analysis style, and suggestions. Can we be honest about lip plumpers? The tingling is irritation that may make the lips swell and look fuller, but should anyone really be putting something damaging on their lips? Also anything that feels cooling is usually an irritant, not the same as actually putting something cold (as in temperature) on your lips or skin.
I would love to see comparisons that also compare main ingredients. Thanks for another insightful video.
You look beautiful as usual, and very tan. I'm glad I found your channel... may I suggest that you use a lighter colored background?
Great video 💙💛❤💚💜
Ritz from CP and space cowboy from UD is the same thing period. Have them both, love them both!
I have to disagree. Thought that was true and bought ritz, and couldn’t figure out who I didn’t like it, then I swatched space cowboy and found the glitters are much smaller which gives a more elegant, wet look whereas color pop ritz has larger glitter making it more apparent that you have glitter on your eyes. If you’re not super observant on tiny details, I can see how it could look similar.
