Regarding Essence... It may feel like the brand is unknown outside of the beauty community in the USA, but it is a different story here in Europe. Essence is famous for their limited editions and these always fly off shelves. I must say that it is far more readily available on the continent, though, rather than in the UK. But say in Germany, Czech Republic... it's definitely one of the most popular affordable brands over there.
I'm from Europe and while I agree that it is beloved by more people, even more hate it 😂 me included, I've tried a couple of things over the years and every single one was a dud even though it had nice reviews online
@@polas.4099 Ha! That's interesting, but we're all slightly different and same things may not work for all :) The fact that I personally think that people tend to forgive certain flaws to a product when the price is reasonably low can also play a factor in the positive reviews. Looking at my collection now I have their melted chrome eyeshadows (love), a lipstick (it's OK), a highlighter from last year's Pac-Man collection (love) and several retractable eyeliners (love). I also like their mascaras. Will definitely look for some more, when I'm in a store which carries Essence the next time.
I live in the Netherlands and they only have the limited edition lines that are interesting. The pure nude highlighter is not even available for sale here, it sucks😭
Yes! The only time I bought something from them was because they were on clearance. I managed to snatch up their glossamer duos for half price and those are amazing!
Yay! I'm so excited you did my tag!! 🙌🥰 I loved hearing your answers to all of the questions and can I just say how much I love your channel? I never miss a video! 😍 BTW...I also used to practice RUclips videos in the car...still do, haha!
This is the community I love & watch. Smaller RUclipsrs,No drama,just pure love for make up. It's fun to watch,it's pleasant & you are both so lovely ♥️
Omg revlon is making a bit of a comeback, especially with their lipsticks. They just did a collab with an actress Sophia Carson is that her name? They also have an awesome lipgloss called "the gloss" (yes like jeffree star lip gloss lol) and it comes in soooo many colors & some even have glitter ... very comfy too! 😍
I haven't seen anyone pick Maybelline as their one brand if they had to choose. I love the Fit Me Dewy and Smooth foundation, Age Rewind concealor, Fit Me loose powder, Lash Sensational mascara, single eye shadows and the Nudes palette, and so many of their lipsticks!
For me, I love maybelline products generally until I found out that some of their lipsticks contain lead (same with L’Oréal) a couple of years ago. I have all the products you’ve mentioned, just not the lipsticks. Also, their mascaras have been making a couple of my eyelashes fall out. I’m not sure why. I don’t think it’s any other ones, just maybelline.
As a couponer i have never spend over a $1 for Physicians Formula...Last week CVS had $4 coupon for every Extracare card holder...this week $3 for every card holder...if you printed both coupons on a Sat you can use it next Sun when PF is Spend $20 get $10 back...use the $7 CVS coupons from both the weeks...pay $13 get back $10...after beauty bucks you just spent $1 on a $20 purchase.
I agree! I feel like they use to be more affordable and then they got too full of themselves and increased all their pricing. I'll stick with ELF, wet and wild and essence!
In my opinion, Nyx is fading because their prices have gone up a lot and the quality has gone down a lot. I also weirdly think that the fact that they spread to the superstores sort of killed some of the hype? Like 2-3 years ago a lot of people could only get Nyx online and now they're at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Meijer ;) , etc. Like their products became way more accessible and people were able to try them a lot more and realized they're just okay.
I agree with you about Covergirl. As soon as they went cruelty free I started buying their stuff again and I found some good stuff. Also side note...I totally could see you doing collab with Milani. That would be awesome!
I have like a dozen of their blushes. Everytime I’m at the store I buy a new shade. The mascaras aren’t too bad. They have a bunch of new products out now too. I can’t wait to try them.
Same here . I hadn’t bought anything from CG since high school in 2002 I know I’m old Lol. But when I learned they went cruelty free I started to buy it again.
I’m so confused about everyone saying Revlon. Their Colorstay Foundation is a HG for so many with oily skin. The Candid line is great especially Candid Glow. The Super Lustrous Glass Shine lipsticks are so cool. Their Skin Lights bronzer is beautiful.
I’m not sure either. I love the candid foundation and need to try the concealer. Maybe it’s the packaging that doesn’t draw people in or they just aren’t trendy? Idk but the products are good.
Revlon owns Almay, and they’ve lost their place for years now. The brand doesn’t seem to have a solid plan. It’s disappointing because both brands were great in the 90’s. I will say their lip products are always good.
Lori Dobos - I actually just got a blush from Almay and I really like it! I wouldn’t say it’s completely matte though, it’s doesn’t have noticeable shimmer in it but gives you a natural glow
@@laurac86 I'm considering buying one of those, but my main key point on these is they are talc free, I'm usually at the hunt for talc free drugstore makeup products.
Revlon is my "go-to" brand for anything classic! I love the candid line, new blushes, bronzer, highlighter, new brow products and lastly their classic lipsticks are beautiful!!
I know I actually think Revlon is stepping it up! I absolutely love the new bronzers and highlight, the matte lipsticks, the new primers that have skin care infused, the glossy lipstick, the blushes too! Everything is so good!
Let me just tell you how much I appreciate you and your videos in general, BUT I especially appreciate you because it is just so fun to watch your videos and you are always uplifting other channels. So different than much of the beauty community right now! You just have your heart in this and it is so evident in every video.
I was watching Raw Beauty Kristy’s Pur eyeshadow collab video earlier and when she was going through her eye shadow names, I couldn’t help but think hmmm if Jessica ever released any makeup, she’d have to call something “a store near me” or something mentioning Meijer! Haha
No. 7 is my underrated brand. I started using their spf foundation since my IT Cosmetics is running out. I wish they had neutral base foundations - which they don't. And I also wish they, as well as other drugstore brands, listed foundation and concealer colors with cool, warm, neutral, olive, etc. base tones.
Really? I find the British drugstore that made the way over the pond to be overrated and terrible. No.7, Makeup Revolution, Sleek, Soap and Glory...yeah PASS!
Cara Parrish yes, I’ve tried the warm and cool... I can’t seem to find a match. Thank you for asking because I would have loved to know about the drops if I hadn’t already :-) thank you :-)
DeathBeforeDecaf I was thinking it’s like sleek... love your comment. I think that maybe my love for the brand, even though I haven’t purchased a lot, is because I know Lisa Eldridge is responsible for the nude lip liner color. I’m going to try my no 7 items taking that feeling out. Thank you :-) :-)
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 Sleek was originally a black-owned brand and was mostly sold in black cosmetics and beauty stores - when it first hit drugstores here it was a big deal because they had a much wider range of skin tones catered for, and is why their blushes are famously so super pigmented. I don't know if the ownership has changed but the brand doesn't seem to have kept innovating, which is sad. I find it interesting that Americans seem to rave about No7 so much - over here it's seen as overpriced and generally not worth the money except for the odd gem like the Stay Perfect mascara (it's a tubing formula which can be hard to find in a drugstore). Makeup Revolution has improved a lot and their skincare line is genuinely great, as is the Revolution Pro line. Soap and Glory focuses on body and skincare here - it's a Boots in house brand. The makeup does exist but most people know it for the body lotions etc.
Great insight! A lot of brands have seemed to be dying. One that I have noticed dwindling is Rimmel. I loved their Stay Matte powder and their lipstick and I think they deserve more hype!
I retired early due to health issues, so I have only bought drugstore makeup since then. I am thrilled with my products, and I have discovered many of them from YOUR videos. It took the longest to find a powder, but I finally found the Flower Beauty pressed powder. I feel like L'Oreal's (and PF) prices are too high for drugstore. And other brands are following them like NYX!
1) Maybelline (I can think of a something I love from them for pretty much everything) 2) Jordana (Yes, they're still around and they have some gems) 3) Revlon (I think they've been coasting on particular old hits) 4) ELF's $2 highlighter (formerly $1, this was my only highlighter for a LONG time because it is so good, I never wanted to try anything else) 5) Jordana's Moisturizing Balm Stain (I'm a bit of a balm stain fanatic and these are my favorite; sadly, there are very few shades of it now) 6) CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Liquid Foundation (Probably my most bought foundation, though I don't currently own it. It's one of the few foundations from the drugstore that is comfortable on my skin.) 7) Most things, really, except foundation since most drugstore foundations feel heavy on me and I don't come close to using the ones I do like up before they go rancid; I stick to powder foundations now and none of the drugstore ones work for me...yet) 8) Pixi (Their prices brush up against Ulta's high end prices, truth be told) 9) n/a (I don't try enough things to give good input) 10) ColourPop (I've only recently dipped into this brand, but they're eyeshadows blow me away) 11) NYC (At least Rimmel is hit and miss; NYC is _all_ miss) 12) Almay (I used to love some of their eyeshadows and mascaras, but now they just have so few items easily available and no one seems happy with what they do have) 13) Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse (I thought it would feel heavy, but it doesn't and I love the finish it gives) 14) So Jaded by ColourPop 15) Wet n Wild (I remember when this brand felt cheap and very rarely had gems. Now, it has so many raved about products in a broad spectrum of items) 16) n/a (I'm not aware enough of this to give good input) 17) NYC (Is this brand even still around anymore? Apparently, yes, but they don't seem to have their own website ~it's not on the first two pages of a Google search for NYC cosmetics~ and NO ONE talks about them, not even to state bafflement about what's going on with them like people do for Almay, another dying brand) 18) CoverGirl's Lash Blast Mascara Volume (aka the original orange tube)
Jessica I cannot stop giggling at the latest vlog of you semi-choking on the tomato 😂 every time I think about it I keep laughing to myself like a crazy woman
I loved learning your honest opinion about all these brands! There are a lot of mixed opinions about the new L'oreal Age Perfect line. I'm happy that it worked for you. Sending love! ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait to hear more about the CT dupe from Revolution once you’ve tried it more! It looks gorgeous on your eyes and I’m much more willing to spend $15 on a quad than what CT charges.
I know they're so good! I live the new blushes too! Oh and they have a beautiful primer thats kind of a highlighting primer but it's not too much but it's beautiful and feels so good on the skin! It's a light pink in a glass bottle with a pump I can't think of the name but it looks so good even with no foundation just to brighten the skin but not look like a tin man! I wear primer but no foundation or tinted moisturizer or anything so I love it because I don't look crazy! It gives me a type of base for my bronzer and blush and etc!
Oh Revlon. I hope they can step things up. They make a few of my ride or die products... Colorstay foundation and lipstick in Rose Velvet and Blushing Nude.
No. 7 bronzer, blush and foundation are super underrated especially if you have a neutral undertone. Revlon candid glow and regular is actually really good for combo skin. And almay has my favorite blush and the metallic shadows are amazing. If almay expanded their shade range the quality of the foundation and bb cream is great. Nyx hydrating primer is my top primer, there single shimmer shadows, and lip pencils are also great. I never have liked cover girl or loreal and very little from Maybelline. Its great to see how diverse everyone's choices are, great video!
Im sooooooo pissed! Im so pissed bc Ive been dying for a great pressed finishing powder. I caved and splurged on the charlotte tilbury. Then like literally while it was being delivered i saw jess mention the No7 on as a dupe. So in received the CT. Is the wuality of the powder as a blurring perfector kind of magical? Yes. BUT. I got shafe Fair and it oxidized on me! Couldbt really use it inder the eyes bc it would defeat the purpose of any brightening. Now im a bit more tan from quarantine lounging on my front lawn and doing not much else and it fine. But i was still considering returning it and trying to get my hands on the No7. I used the damn thing like 3 times! Just at home to give it some wesr tests and IVE HIT PAN!!!!! I dont think ive ever been so disappointrf in a product in my whole life! Like wtf????
I agree. I actually really like the candid foundation but I really only tried it because I saw it on clearance one day. Otherwise I would have walked right by.
I'm so happy to see Jen's (Jen Phelps on RUclips) tag taking off because she works hard on all her content for years (first her blog, then her Instagram when she was Beauddiction know for swatches) and she has really unique content on her RUclips main RUclips channel and recently started a new RUclips channel just for swatching her entire collection as a reference for people. She's also super sweet and friendly. I'm just wanting to hype up the positive people as much as possible. 💜
Some dawn dish soap will help get the stain out of your shirt. I just use a small drop, some water, and rub it a little bit. I use this trick a lot. Lol!
Lestoil works wonders for any set-in grease stain, even if it has been dried in the dryer. The strong smell dissipates when dried. Goo gone is the better-smelling alternative. Apply conservatively.
"I'm five." *giggles* So am I!!! 😄 Btw, I thought you were going to say the No. 7 powder you always use for setting your undereye concealer for the best drugstore dupe. Haha!
Back before RUclips was a thing I pretended I was filming cooking shows as I made dinner or breakfast. I watched a whole lot of The Food Network back in the day.
Even though I'm way older than you(45 years old mom of 2) & I can't always follow your recommendations,but I do watch you & I do enjoy your videos & your absolute lovely personality. 🤗🥰
The Loreal True Match with SPF 17 is, by far, my favorite drug store foundation! It's a perfect medium coverage, has good options for cool toned fair skin, provides medium coverage which I like, has a great texture, etc! And my most long-loved drugstore makeup product is CoverGirl's classic blush in the Rose Silk color 😍. I'm definitely excited about tying more Milani in the near future. Great review!
Almay is the brand I never hear anyone ever talk about! I feel like they are not diverse enough and I never see them do new releases! Also, man I just re-bought the Emily Noel Needs palette on the Revolution site, wish I had known about the eyeshadows you recommenced lol 😂 👍
I am with you on the eye shadows. I like the ColourPop Going Coconuts, Blush Crush, and Double Entendre, but I also like the Elf quads, especially Cream and Sugar. Great formulas, great price!
I would love to see a recreated video. Like pick a date in the past and find one of your old videos or someone else's. Follow the look with commentary on how different you are now!
Jessica, I watch all your videos but never comment and realized I should let you know how much I love your videos !! I watch every morning while I drink my coffee and love your voice and how you film and think you're just fantastic. keep up the amazing videos!
Revlon has some beautiful lipsticks & lip glosses & brand new blushes. Cover girl has some good eyeshadow pencils. Elf has new blush sticks & face powders & wow brow. Elf seems to be a winner for new great products currently. ♡ Jessica please do a full face of the new Elf makeup.♡
I just tried and reviewed the new colourpop foundation on my Instagram (@misstressmary93 - sorry. Shameless plug) and I LOVE IT! I have to set it with a matte finishing powder or it gets too oily on me in this humidity, but it’s so lightweight and creamy. And gives good medium coverage. Way to go on this release, colourpop!!
So happy for this. Loved that Jen Phelps started this. Love your personality. Can't wait to try the Xxposed quad. What a find!!! And you were right on about all of this. Have a good week!! 😉❤️
I bought that one blush because of Jen Phelps. Lol. I bought the peachy one and I use it at least 3 times a week. It goes w everything. It’s so pretty.
I just got the cover girl (green tube) mascara, hoping it's like roller lash. But I swear nothing can beat it. A nice stroll down the drugstore isle sounds great right now!
I really hope Revlon doesn't die off. You got me hooked on their Candid foundation and concealer, and it's been the best thing for my skin...and I've tried a lot!
I love the Essence highlighter! I bought the lightest shade everyone's been talking about, and it has become my holy grail warm glowy BRONZER! If you have an extremely fair complexion, I would highly recommend it for that! Edit: (I've been watching you since you first started your channel in 2013! You were the first makeup video I've ever watched and I've been loyal ever since! Just wanted to send you and your family some love throughout all this:)
Yessss omg I was just about to comment this and say I bought it because of you tube and it was so dark for a highlight for me but I tried it as a bronzer and am totally able to use it that way too! 👌🏻
You are so fun to watch! Even though I don't buy a lot of this makeup due to fragrance sensitivities, I still enjoy watching your videos so much because you have such a kind and genuine personality. I can tell you are an excellent teacher as you are great at engaging with people! :D
Jessica! I saw an ig post that said the L’Oréal age perfect serum foundation (that you love) is a dupe for Estée Lauder futurist foundation. I would love to know your opinion about this! Love u!
I love the categories you added! Also, I'd love to see you do your version of the Emilynoel video where she made a chart of bb/cc creams! It seems like you have different products in your collection than the ones she mentioned, and I love a good chart :)
Jessica, could you do a Korean inspired or Japanese inspired makeup video ? Both type of makeups focus on skincare and light handed techniques, both fall towards dewy fresh finish. :))
You are a peach!!! Enjoying your videos and the content! Nice balance of information with little tidbits of other stuff on your mind! Keep that sparkle and shine ♥️🦋🌸😎🦋
I was hoping you'd do this tag! You are who I think of when I think of drugstore! My brand would have to be Maybelline! I love alot of their products. Many people said ELF cause they have everything, even skincare. Can not wait for the drugstore hidden gems video!!😁 i love how excited you get for dupes and omg lol I've never heard u say kicks booty!
I also hadn't bought anything from NYX in forever but I just got the Bare with me tinted moisturizer and I'm in love with it. I reccomend it if you like that easy, healthy, skin like base. Its basically what I wanted glossiers skin tint to be.
Essence lipsticks are amazing too! They have great range of lovely pink ones, that go especially nice if you have a fairer skin. And seriously, those princess mascaras mentioned are the bomb!
If I had to pick one brand only for a full face, I'd have to go with Maybelline. Affordable for the most part and they've got everything you need for a full face. Everything!
I agree that Essence is so underrated! All of the products I've tried from them I have loved and I like how they stay at a true drugstore price, unlike other brands whose prices have gone up over the years 😊 I loved this video, I'm tempted to do this tag on my channel now lol
I honestly LOVE you and your channel! I have picked up so many things from so many of your videos! I recently got and have been enjoying the Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-1 foundation. I'm between fair and tan at the moment and have a shade (03 light beige) that has been working wonderfully!! Thank you Jess! 💞
So happy for another video from Jessica! I truly appreciate and really enjoy all that you put into your content that really helps all of us. Hope you and your family are doing well and here is to a great and blessed upcoming week. ❤️🙏🏽💄👑
Jessica, I just started watching your videos about a month ago. Oh my goodness I in loved with your channel. You have such a bubbly personality, I love it. Every time a get a spare moment I watch your older videos. I'm hooked. 😄😄😄
You got me hooked on Essence. Their eyeliner pencils are incredible. Creamy, no tugging, and they stay on. The Fresh & Fit Awake Primer is great, I love their Lash Princess mascara, but it does smudge. Definitely the Pure Nude Highlighter! One of my new favorites is the Make Me Brows eyebrow gel. Colourpop eyeshadows are always consistently good. Love the way the XX Revolution palette looks. So pretty. Boy, is the Rosewater a nice palette, along with the Cream and Sugar. Ever since Covergirl went cruelty free, their products have greatly improved. Thanks, Jessica. This was a great video❣❤
It’s so funny that Meijer gets brought up in every video but it’s so natural. Like it’s a joke but it isn’t because you actually do need to mention it, it’s relevant. I find myself saying “at H‑E‑B” frequently to my out of state relatives, which is our local Texas store. And I’m like “a store near me called HEB” because I talk about it all the time 😂
You’re so right. We should all go do this within our collections. We just might rediscover some gems and feel inspired to use up what we have. I am totally getting the eyeshadow quad dupe. I refuse to spend a large amount of money on 4 shadows.
The Essence brush matte eyeliner & Revlon slim tip matte eyeliner are super BOMB! 💣 I love the dual tip eyebrow pencil from CoverGirl called Easy Breezy Brow Draw and Fill. with the powder to fill in the brows and the eyebrow pencil has a thick tip like the Anastasia eyebrow pencil. Love, love, love it!

Isn't that the truth?! 😆
Yes! The only time I bought something from them was because they were on clearance. I managed to snatch up their glossamer duos for half price and those are amazing!
Ally I’ve seen those! They look awesome.
Yes! And the quality is poor!!
And it's never on sale, at least at the drug store I usually go to

This is the community I love & watch. Smaller RUclipsrs,No drama,just pure love for make up. It's fun to watch,it's pleasant & you are both so lovely ♥️
Now you should do a "full face of brands that are kinda dying" lol. All Revlon and Almay. Maybe it will be their rising from the ashes.
Amazing idea
I don't know if there is any way to save Almay. They just don't have finger to the pulse of what is popular.
Omg revlon is making a bit of a comeback, especially with their lipsticks. They just did a collab with an actress Sophia Carson is that her name?

Good to know thanks!
You are my hero
YOU JUST CHANGED MY LIFE!
Thank you! I might actually use it if I put a pump on it lol
NO WAY. IM SO EXCITED. Thank you!

I've had so many favorite products over the years that were from Maybelline, but most of my favorites have been discontinued 😑
Funny that was my though.. it’s my fav..
That would be my one brand for sure! I could easily do a full face with just Maybelline products that I love.
The brand dying out for me is Rimmel. I haven’t heard anything about them in so long & I never stop and look at them anymore
I thought the same!
They also test on animals, and since so many brands don’t...I’m over that brand!
Oh yeah....I forgot about them and Almay until Jessica mentioned them.
As a couponer i have never spend over a $1 for Physicians Formula...Last week CVS had $4 coupon for every Extracare card holder...this week $3 for every card holder...if you printed both coupons on a Sat you can use it next Sun when PF is Spend $20 get $10 back...use the $7 CVS coupons from both the weeks...pay $13 get back $10...after beauty bucks you just spent $1 on a $20 purchase.
I'm so in awe of couponers because this sentence doesn't even compute in my head
NYX is another drugstore brand that is essspensive! The angel veil primer is like $16!!
I agree! I feel like they use to be more affordable and then they got too full of themselves and increased all their pricing. I'll stick with ELF, wet and wild and essence!
I agree. Their palettes are expensive as hell except when they're on sale.. and they're always on sale lol especially at Ulta 😁
The glass skin primer at Ulta was $19 when I bought it!! I didn’t even read it was that much till I actually looked at the receipt 🤦🏻♀️
was just about to comment this! way overpriced for what they are
They are so overpriced. And the tacky plastic packaging at that price point is inexcusable.
In my opinion, Nyx is fading because their prices have gone up a lot and the quality has gone down a lot. I also weirdly think that the fact that they spread to the superstores sort of killed some of the hype? Like 2-3 years ago a lot of people could only get Nyx online and now they're at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, Meijer ;) , etc. Like their products became way more accessible and people were able to try them a lot more and realized they're just okay.

I’m not sure either. I love the candid foundation and need to try the concealer. Maybe it’s the packaging that doesn’t draw people in or they just aren’t trendy? Idk but the products are good.
I love there mascara and there Vinynl glossy eyeliner its really waterproof
Revlon owns Almay, and they’ve lost their place for years now. The brand doesn’t seem to have a solid plan. It’s disappointing because both brands were great in the 90’s. I will say their lip products are always good.

lilacdream1000 they are soooo good. And eye safe. I got a red one as a gift from my daughter and love the glow I get from it.
I thought you were going to say, “ If you see the light flickering, relax.” 😂 Must be the shirt.
Lol that’s so funny!
That was a good chuckle!!! Thanks needed that... and I could totally see her saying that!
Revlon is my "go-to" brand for anything classic! I love the candid line, new blushes, bronzer, highlighter, new brow products and lastly their classic lipsticks are beautiful!!
Yes, lipsticks!!! I just bought sassy mauve and blushing mauve, they have two more that I need to go back and get. Mauve is my everyday color :)
They are my favorite lipstick brand next to MAC. Just adore them!
Mandy Lea is loving on the candid concealers and I am super curious about the skin lights bronzer and highlight

I fell like I must try this now... but I have a darker skin tone and it looks so light. But I will get one to try for sure.
I was watching Raw Beauty Kristy’s Pur eyeshadow collab video earlier and when she was going through her eye shadow names, I couldn’t help but think hmmm if Jessica ever released any makeup, she’d have to call something “a store near me” or something mentioning Meijer! Haha
Maybe she could call it a shadow near me or something clever too!
No. 7 is my underrated brand. I started using their spf foundation since my IT Cosmetics is running out. I wish they had neutral base foundations - which they don't. And I also wish they, as well as other drugstore brands, listed foundation and concealer colors with cool, warm, neutral, olive, etc. base tones.
Really? I find the British drugstore that made the way over the pond to be overrated and terrible. No.7, Makeup Revolution, Sleek, Soap and Glory...yeah PASS!
I think the no7 foundation mix-in drops are very neutral based! Have you tried those?
Cara Parrish yes, I’ve tried the warm and cool... I can’t seem to find a match. Thank you for asking because I would have loved to know about the drops if I hadn’t already :-) thank you :-)
DeathBeforeDecaf I was thinking it’s like sleek... love your comment. I think that maybe my love for the brand, even though I haven’t purchased a lot, is because I know Lisa Eldridge is responsible for the nude lip liner color. I’m going to try my no 7 items taking that feeling out. Thank you :-) :-)
@@deathbeforedecaf7755 Sleek was originally a black-owned brand and was mostly sold in black cosmetics and beauty stores - when it first hit drugstores here it was a big deal because they had a much wider range of skin tones catered for, and is why their blushes are famously so super pigmented. I don't know if the ownership has changed but the brand doesn't seem to have kept innovating, which is sad.
I find it interesting that Americans seem to rave about No7 so much - over here it's seen as overpriced and generally not worth the money except for the odd gem like the Stay Perfect mascara (it's a tubing formula which can be hard to find in a drugstore). Makeup Revolution has improved a lot and their skincare line is genuinely great, as is the Revolution Pro line. Soap and Glory focuses on body and skincare here - it's a Boots in house brand. The makeup does exist but most people know it for the body lotions etc.
Almay ...catering to like 4 people in the world ... 😂😂
Great insight! A lot of brands have seemed to be dying. One that I have noticed dwindling is Rimmel. I loved their Stay Matte powder and their lipstick and I think they deserve more hype!
I think Neutrogena is a brand that doesn’t get enough love. They have some great lippies!
I actually fell in love with their tinted lip oils and then the place I bought them from stopped carrying them 😭
They were my pick for “if you could only buy from one brand”, I think they’re solid all around with both their skincare and makeup.
The moment she said Milani it brought me back to that tweet about a collaboration. milani better do their first collab w you omg.
I'm not on Twitter, so can you please tell me what you're referring to? I love Milani and Jessica!
????? tell me more I don't have Twitter
I retired early due to health issues, so I have only bought drugstore makeup since then. I am thrilled with my products, and I have discovered many of them from YOUR videos. It took the longest to find a powder, but I finally found the Flower Beauty pressed powder. I feel like L'Oreal's (and PF) prices are too high for drugstore. And other brands are following them like NYX!
1) Maybelline (I can think of a something I love from them for pretty much everything)
2) Jordana (Yes, they're still around and they have some gems)
3) Revlon (I think they've been coasting on particular old hits)
4) ELF's $2 highlighter (formerly $1, this was my only highlighter for a LONG time because it is so good, I never wanted to try anything else)
5) Jordana's Moisturizing Balm Stain (I'm a bit of a balm stain fanatic and these are my favorite; sadly, there are very few shades of it now)
6) CoverGirl Advanced Radiance Liquid Foundation (Probably my most bought foundation, though I don't currently own it. It's one of the few foundations from the drugstore that is comfortable on my skin.)
7) Most things, really, except foundation since most drugstore foundations feel heavy on me and I don't come close to using the ones I do like up before they go rancid; I stick to powder foundations now and none of the drugstore ones work for me...yet)
8) Pixi (Their prices brush up against Ulta's high end prices, truth be told)
9) n/a (I don't try enough things to give good input)
10) ColourPop (I've only recently dipped into this brand, but they're eyeshadows blow me away)
11) NYC (At least Rimmel is hit and miss; NYC is _all_ miss)
12) Almay (I used to love some of their eyeshadows and mascaras, but now they just have so few items easily available and no one seems happy with what they do have)
13) Maybelline's Dream Matte Mousse (I thought it would feel heavy, but it doesn't and I love the finish it gives)
14) So Jaded by ColourPop
15) Wet n Wild (I remember when this brand felt cheap and very rarely had gems. Now, it has so many raved about products in a broad spectrum of items)
16) n/a (I'm not aware enough of this to give good input)
17) NYC (Is this brand even still around anymore? Apparently, yes, but they don't seem to have their own website ~it's not on the first two pages of a Google search for NYC cosmetics~ and NO ONE talks about them, not even to state bafflement about what's going on with them like people do for Almay, another dying brand)
18) CoverGirl's Lash Blast Mascara Volume (aka the original orange tube)
I talk to myself all the time. I’ve read that it’s a sign you’re smart. That’s what I choose to believe. 🙄🤷🏻♀️😂
That's what I'm going to tell people from now on whenever they catch me talking to myself! 😆
I have the habit of talking to myself too.. When I was in highschool.. Someone caught it and thought I am crazy 😂😂
Heather Miyakawa I do it a lot too, and it’s totally fine as long as you don’t answer!😂
I do it all the time. Especially if I'm alone. I can't imagine not saying anything to myself at all haha were definitely smart 😂
Well then I am BRILLIANT!😆😆😆😆
OMFG when the Charlotte Tilbury shadow flew out of the pan I DIED!!!!!! Omg that was so funny
Same here! I don't know why but it really made me laugh. I rewatched 3 times! 😂😂😂
It's so nice seeing Jen getting recognition she deserves. I love her !
Tracy!! 🤗🤗💕💕
Jessica I cannot stop giggling at the latest vlog of you semi-choking on the tomato 😂 every time I think about it I keep laughing to myself like a crazy woman
This made me giggle too and I've thought about it again 😂😂 and Tyler was like maybe don't toss it up but she did it anyway lol
I loved learning your honest opinion about all these brands! There are a lot of mixed opinions about the new L'oreal Age Perfect line. I'm happy that it worked for you. Sending love! ❤️❤️❤️
I can’t wait to hear more about the CT dupe from Revolution once you’ve tried it more! It looks gorgeous on your eyes and I’m much more willing to spend $15 on a quad than what CT charges.
But when I click on the link it goes to a purple quad 😔
Carla Turner scroll down and change the shade there’s a bunch of them!
Yes! I would like to know if the shadow creased at the end of the day and if the colors faded.
@@carjhb arrow down for other choices.
Xxposed is the dupe one for pillow talk.
When you see a dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury eyeshadow palette, you click on it 🤣
Jess, I am over forty and I don’t even care about Revlon. I am not sure what demographic Revlon is aiming for at the moment.
Im 32 and Revlon evening when I was a teenager was old school! Lip products have been nice though
They just brought out a fine gel eyeliner which is good
Omg I died when that shadow flew out and you said “what a train wreck” 🤣💀
The Almay cream shadows in the foil tubes are so nice, and almost no one talks about them!
I know they're so good! I live the new blushes too! Oh and they have a beautiful primer thats kind of a highlighting primer but it's not too much but it's beautiful and feels so good on the skin! It's a light pink in a glass bottle with a pump I can't think of the name but it looks so good even with no foundation just to brighten the skin but not look like a tin man! I wear primer but no foundation or tinted moisturizer or anything so I love it because I don't look crazy! It gives me a type of base for my bronzer and blush and etc!
“Physicians Freaking Formula!” 🤣🤣🤣❤️
Oh Revlon. I hope they can step things up. They make a few of my ride or die products... Colorstay foundation and lipstick in Rose Velvet and Blushing Nude.
Rose velvet lipstick is one of my faves also!
Would love for you to review Neutrogena new tinted moisturizer.
“Meijer - *that store near me*” hahaha never gets old
Such a perfect little edit
No. 7 bronzer, blush and foundation are super underrated especially if you have a neutral undertone. Revlon candid glow and regular is actually really good for combo skin. And almay has my favorite blush and the metallic shadows are amazing. If almay expanded their shade range the quality of the foundation and bb cream is great. Nyx hydrating primer is my top primer, there single shimmer shadows, and lip pencils are also great. I never have liked cover girl or loreal and very little from Maybelline. Its great to see how diverse everyone's choices are, great video!
The No 7 finishing powder has changed my life. I LOVE that product and it's so underrated. ;)
Thank you for the comment. My CT is almost gone and I've been wondering about No 7s.
Im sooooooo pissed!
Im so pissed bc Ive been dying for a great pressed finishing powder.
I caved and splurged on the charlotte tilbury. Then like literally while it was being delivered i saw jess mention the No7 on as a dupe.
So in received the CT. Is the wuality of the powder as a blurring perfector kind of magical? Yes.
BUT. I got shafe Fair and it oxidized on me! Couldbt really use it inder the eyes bc it would defeat the purpose of any brightening. Now im a bit more tan from quarantine lounging on my front lawn and doing not much else and it fine.
But i was still considering returning it and trying to get my hands on the No7.
I used the damn thing like 3 times! Just at home to give it some wesr tests and IVE HIT PAN!!!!!
I dont think ive ever been so disappointrf in a product in my whole life! Like wtf????
I love how excited she got about the Charlotte tilbury dupe😂
Didn’t Revlon have a candid foundation, etc. I feel like Revlon’s packaging makes it seem older. They need to freshen up their packaging.
I agree. I actually really like the candid foundation but I really only tried it because I saw it on clearance one day. Otherwise I would have walked right by.
I'm so happy to see Jen's (Jen Phelps on RUclips) tag taking off because she works hard on all her content for years (first her blog, then her Instagram when she was Beauddiction know for swatches) and she has really unique content on her RUclips main RUclips channel and recently started a new RUclips channel just for swatching her entire collection as a reference for people. She's also super sweet and friendly. I'm just wanting to hype up the positive people as much as possible. 💜
Aww thank you so much for all of the kind words! It means a lot! 🥰
I hate physicians formula, they are not brown girl friendly to me. And they are pricey to me.
Definitely pricey for what it is!
Does any body know a dupe for their bronzee?
Them and Almay have never seen my coins. Not brown girl friendly at all.
They have bronzer ⁉️
Same she raced about Almaty but I had to give 😒. Makes me think about you tubers that promote them. I love to try but not trying to look like a ghost
Saw your Instagram story a couple hours ago...truly impressive that this video is up already, thanks for the hard work!
Yess Jessica! You always make my day when you post!!!
I loved that looking into the distance when you said “Meijer, that store near me” 😂😂
I flipping love Meijer
We have a store in Australia spelt Myer 🤣
Kate Moore Yeah I kept wondering they were related 😂 good to finally know how it’s spelt!
Some dawn dish soap will help get the stain out of your shirt. I just use a small drop, some water, and rub it a little bit. I use this trick a lot. Lol!
Literally the BEST for stains, especially greasy ones! 🙌
i just spilled a little pesto on my dress while watching this and will now do this.
@@nataliaalfonso2662 Dish soap for grease and white vinegar for taking out non grease stains. White vinegar is good for taking out stains.
Lestoil works wonders for any set-in grease stain, even if it has been dried in the dryer. The strong smell dissipates when dried. Goo gone is the better-smelling alternative. Apply conservatively.
Plain dawn dishsoap is incredible in the laundry room, for sure.
"I'm five." *giggles*
So am I!!! 😄
Btw, I thought you were going to say the No. 7 powder you always use for setting your undereye concealer for the best drugstore dupe. Haha!
I'm so relieved other people pretend to film RUclips videos , I legit thought I'd gone bonkers in lockdown
Back before RUclips was a thing I pretended I was filming cooking shows as I made dinner or breakfast. I watched a whole lot of The Food Network back in the day.
Micha Dawn I always used to do that too😂
I “film” and send to my mom and kids. They just laugh at me. I even have a trash can of “empties”🤪😂
Even though I'm way older than you(45 years old mom of 2) & I can't always follow your recommendations,but I do watch you & I do enjoy your videos & your absolute lovely personality.
🤗🥰
Niki I feel the same but I love her personality. She is so uplifting and real
Why doesn't she have a million subscribers?! She's AMAZING! DEFINITELY UNDERRATED. 😍
The Loreal True Match with SPF 17 is, by far, my favorite drug store foundation! It's a perfect medium coverage, has good options for cool toned fair skin, provides medium coverage which I like, has a great texture, etc! And my most long-loved drugstore makeup product is CoverGirl's classic blush in the Rose Silk color 😍. I'm definitely excited about tying more Milani in the near future. Great review!
Almay is the brand I never hear anyone ever talk about! I feel like they are not diverse enough and I never see them do new releases! Also, man I just re-bought the Emily Noel Needs palette on the Revolution site, wish I had known about the eyeshadows you recommenced lol 😂 👍
Almay just became cruelty free. I had no idea until I saw their display the other day. Now, I want to try some of their stuff.
Jennifer Boen they actually aren’t cruelty free, they just say they are 😞
Sarah Rose that is so messed up 😕
The needs is my favorite.
csternickle My son actually broke mine so I wanted a new one lol it’s actually on sale for $9 on the Revolution site right now
I am with you on the eye shadows. I like the ColourPop Going Coconuts, Blush Crush, and Double Entendre, but I also like the Elf quads, especially Cream and Sugar. Great formulas, great price!
I would love to see a recreated video. Like pick a date in the past and find one of your old videos or someone else's. Follow the look with commentary on how different you are now!
Jessica, I watch all your videos but never comment and realized I should let you know how much I love your videos !! I watch every morning while I drink my coffee and love your voice and how you film and think you're just fantastic. keep up the amazing videos!
That lipstick looks really good on you.
Did she say what brand & color it was? That's why I'm scrolling through the comments.
Revlon has some beautiful lipsticks & lip glosses & brand new blushes. Cover girl has some good eyeshadow pencils. Elf has new blush sticks & face powders & wow brow. Elf seems to be a winner for new great products currently. ♡ Jessica please do a full face of the new Elf makeup.♡
I really like Colourpop’s luxe lipsticks and have you tired their new hydrating foundation? I haven’t but it looks good!
I have been wearing the CP new foundation for the last two days -- beautiful!
I never liked Colourpop's foundation and concealers but this new foundarion...nailed it!! Jessica you gotta try it
Robin Waibel I’m excited to try it!
I just tried and reviewed the new colourpop foundation on my Instagram (@misstressmary93 - sorry. Shameless plug) and I LOVE IT! I have to set it with a matte finishing powder or it gets too oily on me in this humidity, but it’s so lightweight and creamy. And gives good medium coverage. Way to go on this release, colourpop!!
The new foundation is so good! It reminds of a toned down version of wet n wild dewy foundation
For foundations with doe foot or paddle applicators, I purchase dropper lids from amazon and convert them to that!
I totally said “blushing belgraves” before you even said it lol. I been a follower for a long time clearly 🤣🤣🤣
Best part of the day time for a break from studying for board exams and now I get to unwind with my caffeine and a Jessica video. 💚💙
Good luck with your exams!
I think honest beauty is waaaaaaay overpriced for drugstore beauty.
So happy for this. Loved that Jen Phelps started this. Love your personality. Can't wait to try the Xxposed quad. What a find!!! And you were right on about all of this. Have a good week!! 😉❤️
🤗🤗💕💕
Almay has this new amazing blush called the Healthy Hue Blush. Wild Berry and So Peachy are my shades. However, I am medium to tan.
I bought that one blush because of Jen Phelps. Lol. I bought the peachy one and I use it at least 3 times a week. It goes w everything. It’s so pretty.
Amy Black They are pretty.
Agree about the L'Oreal concealer, set with the No. 7 powder you recommended! That whole Age Perfect line is AMAZING!
I just got the cover girl (green tube) mascara, hoping it's like roller lash. But I swear nothing can beat it. A nice stroll down the drugstore isle sounds great right now!
I really hope Revlon doesn't die off. You got me hooked on their Candid foundation and concealer, and it's been the best thing for my skin...and I've tried a lot!
Holly Elisabeth, rarely do I use Revlon but the Candid concealer is my new workhorse. Be well 💕
I love the Essence highlighter! I bought the lightest shade everyone's been talking about, and it has become my holy grail warm glowy BRONZER! If you have an extremely fair complexion, I would highly recommend it for that!
Edit:
(I've been watching you since you first started your channel in 2013! You were the first makeup video I've ever watched and I've been loyal ever since! Just wanted to send you and your family some love throughout all this:)
Yessss omg I was just about to comment this and say I bought it because of you tube and it was so dark for a highlight for me but I tried it as a bronzer and am totally able to use it that way too! 👌🏻
You are so fun to watch! Even though I don't buy a lot of this makeup due to fragrance sensitivities, I still enjoy watching your videos so much because you have such a kind and genuine personality. I can tell you are an excellent teacher as you are great at engaging with people! :D
Jessica! I saw an ig post that said the L’Oréal age perfect serum foundation (that you love) is a dupe for Estée Lauder futurist foundation. I would love to know your opinion about this! Love u!
Jessica Lao Futurist is quite a bit thinner with more coverage. I love both products
I love the categories you added! Also, I'd love to see you do your version of the Emilynoel video where she made a chart of bb/cc creams! It seems like you have different products in your collection than the ones she mentioned, and I love a good chart :)
Jessica, could you do a Korean inspired or Japanese inspired makeup video ? Both type of makeups focus on skincare and light handed techniques, both fall towards dewy fresh finish. :))
You are a peach!!! Enjoying your videos and the content! Nice balance of information with little tidbits of other stuff on your mind! Keep that sparkle and shine ♥️🦋🌸😎🦋
I was hoping you'd do this tag! You are who I think of when I think of drugstore! My brand would have to be Maybelline! I love alot of their products. Many people said ELF cause they have everything, even skincare. Can not wait for the drugstore hidden gems video!!😁 i love how excited you get for dupes and omg lol I've never heard u say kicks booty!
I also hadn't bought anything from NYX in forever but I just got the Bare with me tinted moisturizer and I'm in love with it. I reccomend it if you like that easy, healthy, skin like base. Its basically what I wanted glossiers skin tint to be.
Drugstores need to carry more K-beauty brands. I can sometimes find them at CVS but still it is just a nominal amount.
Essence lipsticks are amazing too! They have great range of lovely pink ones, that go especially nice if you have a fairer skin. And seriously, those princess mascaras mentioned are the bomb!
if XX Recvolution made a dupe for the CT quad in Exxager-Eyes, Im gonna lose my mind. But I have a feeling they wont...
I have been on a two-week no RUclips or reading cleanse to be more productive. I am so EXCITED to have a queue of your videos to get caught up on!
If you paid $17 for the L’Oreal Lumi bronzer, you’re shopping at the wrong store because it’s not even close to that at Walmart
I want the "Hidden gems at the drugstore" video ASAP! :)))))
If I had to pick one brand only for a full face, I'd have to go with Maybelline. Affordable for the most part and they've got everything you need for a full face. Everything!
I agree that Essence is so underrated! All of the products I've tried from them I have loved and I like how they stay at a true drugstore price, unlike other brands whose prices have gone up over the years 😊 I loved this video, I'm tempted to do this tag on my channel now lol
Did Drew Barrymore work for Covergirl pre-Flower Beauty? 🤔
Maybe she set some wheels in motion 😅
She was in their AD campaigns. So was Rihanna
I honestly LOVE you and your channel! I have picked up so many things from so many of your videos! I recently got and have been enjoying the Milani Conceal and Perfect 2-in-1 foundation. I'm between fair and tan at the moment and have a shade (03 light beige) that has been working wonderfully!! Thank you Jess! 💞
Physicians Formula is hella expensive and NOT cruelty free. They just seem like a sketchy company to me now.
So happy for another video from Jessica! I truly appreciate and really enjoy all that you put into your content that really helps all of us. Hope you and your family are doing well and here is to a great and blessed upcoming week. ❤️🙏🏽💄👑
I love love love how excited you get with these types of videos!! They make me so happy and in a better mood! 😝🥰
Jess, this was fabulous and fun! I needed this right now! Thanks. 💗
I always look forward to Jessica’s videos! Easy and fun to watch ☺️
Jessica, I just started watching your videos about a month ago. Oh my goodness I in loved with your channel. You have such a bubbly personality, I love it. Every time a get a spare moment I watch your older videos. I'm hooked. 😄😄😄
The one drugstore find I am thrilled to come across is the Milani primer spray. I love it so much. I hope they never discontinue it.
You got me hooked on Essence. Their eyeliner pencils are incredible. Creamy, no tugging, and they stay on. The Fresh & Fit Awake Primer is great, I love their Lash Princess mascara, but it does smudge. Definitely the Pure Nude Highlighter! One of my new favorites is the Make Me Brows eyebrow gel.
Colourpop eyeshadows are always consistently good.
Love the way the XX Revolution palette looks. So pretty.
Boy, is the Rosewater a nice palette, along with the Cream and Sugar.
Ever since Covergirl went cruelty free, their products have greatly improved.
Thanks, Jessica. This was a great video❣❤
Jessica, I have to say you are such a fun person and I enjoy your videos so much. Watching your videos always brightens my mood so thank you! :)
It’s so funny that Meijer gets brought up in every video but it’s so natural. Like it’s a joke but it isn’t because you actually do need to mention it, it’s relevant. I find myself saying “at H‑E‑B” frequently to my out of state relatives, which is our local Texas store. And I’m like “a store near me called HEB” because I talk about it all the time 😂
You’re so right. We should all go do this within our collections. We just might rediscover some gems and feel inspired to use up what we have. I am totally getting the eyeshadow quad dupe. I refuse to spend a large amount of money on 4 shadows.
The Essence brush matte eyeliner & Revlon slim tip matte eyeliner are super BOMB! 💣 I love the dual tip eyebrow pencil from CoverGirl called Easy Breezy Brow Draw and Fill. with the powder to fill in the brows and the eyebrow pencil has a thick tip like the Anastasia eyebrow pencil. Love, love, love it!
