These brands are starting to get “obnoxious”. Between the price points and the gimmicky nature and saturation of products it is too much! Drug store is killing it now
I agree, I think the drugstore products are now making better wearable and affordable products and the highend stuff is not even worth worrying about!!!
I was SO JAZZED for the Patrick Ta highlights and picked up 3 the day they launched because I assumed they would be the same formula as the blush duos and those are perfection (in my opinion), so why would we mess with a good thing? Wrong. The formula is totally different. The ingredients list on the cream highlight is all coconut as castor oil. Essentially a cleansing balm. And we are going to dab that on over a dusty glittery duochrome powder and let it just coagulate and form some sort of gooey highlighter gravy on our cheeks? It stays greasy, gummy, gunky, never sets down so it creases up around the eyes, and removes concealer underneath. And on a hot day - forget it. That will be melting down your cheeks like buttery tears. The biggest disappointment of the year thus far.
drunk elephant spf is disgusting lol. they can scream how amazing it is all they want, which im sure it is..but nobody can say its formulation is elegant
When you're paying this much money, there's no excuse to end up with products that don't work well. I can get a highlighter, brow tint, and sunscreen from Target for the cost of one of those products and have them actually work right.
I feel like he should have sold the powder highlight as singles, like he used to do with the blushes. Seems like the powder formula works better on its own
I may be misremembering but didn't Patrick Ta come out with a holiday palette with a highlighter in it and everyone hated it because it was glittery and like vaseline?
I knew I wouldn't like the new Patrick Ta highlight duos because there was one in his second holiday face palette from a few years ago- the powder highlighter was super glittery and the 'cream' highlighter just looked and felt like straight up vaseline lol
Honestly, who needs highlighter when you were glowing so much from the sunscreen, burning through from under the foundation, you could already be seen from the moon!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
ordered directly from patrick ta. Ordered the pink one. They took way to long to mail it. I didnt want it anymore and contacted their CS TO CANCEL MY IRDER SINCE THEY HADNT EVEN SENT IT YET. they did not do as i asked and finally sent it out. Ill be returning. CS is non existant as i tried contacting them multiple ways. Really dissapointed.
I still like their Kush tinted lip balms. And when they first launched, having product in roller ball applicators was actually a nice way of putting their products in streamlined packaging that was convenient for on the go. I still have a roll on blush oil. But…as seems to be the case for so many of the products competing in Sephora…gimmicks are going to be the death of them. Their “cooling water” blush Jello sticks are, as Kelly demonstrated, practically unblendable. Now it’s eyebrow gel tubing? Nobody needs that. I am convinced that “old school” brands like Clinique and Lancôme have lasted so long without a lot of odd products (except for that Lancôme vibrating mascara wand!) is because they target the middle aged and older market of people who just want lipsticks, foundations, etc., aren’t interested in gimmicks, and are fairly brand loyal.
The highlight looks really interesting, I might pick one up. For going out, a subtle glitter that isn’t too noticeable is what I’m looking for. But, I can also see why ppl would dislike them! Definitely not a formula that everyone would like LOL
I just find the Kosas blushes to be a little too saturated and, like, high color temperature (am I using that right?) in the shade range for them to *also* be shimmery. Like the Milani baked blushes have a similar level of sheen in most shades, but the color choices are more elegant. The Kosas ones look very punchy and are freaking gorgeous on tan to deep skin tones but as someone who can only get to NC30 or so in the summer they don’t balance with everyday makeup well.
I can totally understand what you mean by the color temperature! swatching all of them, I could only think that at least some of them m should have been more desaturated to actually create a natural look.
@@lynnctodd I recently tried the Beauty of Joseon sunscreen and it is 100% worth the hype in my opinion. Basically no scent, and feels like a moisturiser. I was really impressed by it!
Kelly you are such a well-spoken and beautiful young woman. I absolutely LOVE when I see smart women with their "own" face, in a world that tells us to tweak ourselves to look related to the Kardashians/instagram-face. You are a gem.
I don’t know anything about Patrick Ta but does he not try his own products? Because I feel like if he wore them like his consumers would he could see that they don’t work 🤷🏻♀️ I personally think that his pink pallet he came out with holiday last year was kind of a flop. Also I’m of the opinion that Drunk Elephant is sipping their own sauce if you get my drift lol that spf looked so bad on your skin and I can’t even imagine being out in the heat with that much on? Yuck lol no thanks. Loved the video as always 🫶🏻💖
Re: highlighters - I was hoping the Patrick Ta highlights were different from the holiday palette highlighter from a couple of years ago but it sounds like they made the (bad) decision to keep the old formula :( Pat McGrath Skin Fetish Highlighter stick duos are already a thing and that product is so much better and actually makes sense. Patrick Ta’s highlight balm is basically lip balm in a pan whereas Pat Mcgrath’s balm is more of a ‘dry’ balm that leaves skin glowy and preps it for the other side of the stick with more pigment. Not sure if PMG highlighter sticks are still sold in Sephora, I saw a lot of PMG marked down for a while.
My local Sephora does not carry Pat McGrath anymore. (and FWIW the last couple of mini PMG palettes I ordered from Sephora arrived crumbled and broken; maybe there’s a rise and fall to be videoed?)
If the sunscreen shades are the same formula/SPF, there should be no problem mixing colors. Mixing an SPF of 30 with 50 or mixing a mineral and a chemical together would not produce a reliable result.
Reminds me of the Jones Road Miracle Balms which I love, but a lot of people hate lol. Idk I feel like these suit summer makeup looks where you wear very little foundation or concealer on your face. I think these products also work really well with Danessa Myricks blurring balm.
I wish Milk would not have discontinued their brow gel pencil. It was a really neat hybrid product, and I’ve never gotten so many compliments on a brow product. They also should never have discontinued their mascara in the squeeze tube
Was at Walmart the other day in the makeup isle, I turned the corner and in my peripheral vision I saw a Dorito sign. I was like what is that doing in the makeup isle. It was a collab with a makeup line. I didn’t catch which one but I couldn’t help but chuckle. They reaching lololol
I live in such a hot, humid environment that even with my dry skin, the last thing I want in the summer is a heavy, sticky product. Thanks for the thoughts on the Drunk Elephant sunscreen and Patrick Ta highlighter. The Kosas blush seems like the Laura Gellar or Milani baked blushes. I’m not sure why they’re being touted as “new”. Perhaps I’m wrong and they have something new about them?
I can not imagine applying 1/4 tsp of that sunscreen to my face to get the advertised SPF. That's just disgusting 🫣 I swear that some brands keep making sunscreens the way they do, knowing that most people don't apply the proper amount because they aren't aesthetically pleasing.
Try Japan/K beauty sunscreen, when it comes to sunscreen I dont think any country could beat Korea for that. Their formula is really innovative compared to the US. There’s many different types for different skins as well.
The Patrick Ta highlighter seems like a similar brand gaslighting as the Kosas illuminator where the marketing was all about subtle healthy glow but the reality was glitter city and weird textures.
I know the idea behind tubing *mascara* is that it is (supposed to be, anyway) sweat-proof, oily-skin proof, etc. enough so that it won’t budge if you wear it to the gym or a physical labor job or at a summer festival. However - who applies eyebrow gel thickly enough that it runs down their face? Tammy Faye Bakker maybe, and she’s dead. I think Milk has latched onto a gimmick.
Loreal just came out with infallible highlighters I have 02 and 15 they are incredible my favorite powder formula ever so to spend all that $$ on a high end highlighter that isn't as good is crazy and for that reason and many more I only F with drugstore lol 💗
That sunscreen is greasy and yellow. A NO for me! I ordered Baby in the Patrick Ta Highlighter, so we shall see. I figured the balm will be good for my lips. To me the real problem is that sunscreen. Maybe if you used a different sunscreen, everything would look different. The Milk brow product is supposed to be like a tubing mascara, so it is coating the eyebrow hairs with tubes of color. I do want to try it. I really do like the Saie bronzer and Kosas blush on you!
PSA: Mineral Sunscreen should be the last step in your skincare/makeup routine. Chemical sunscreen should be the first step. Confusing, I know, but important to remember if you want your sunscreen to work effectively. Mineral sunscreen always feels heavy, but I have to wear it because chemical always gets into my eyes and stings so bad.
If you use too much of the balm in the PT hi lighter, It will feel sticky . I put the powder on with a very small fluffy brush . Then tap the cream on with my fingers and it blends the cream into the skin and looks beautiful. Give it a go …
GIRL, what is that powder that you used? It made all the difference 😅 The PT highlighters are a joke. But I’m really interested in the tubing thingie. It looks amazing on you.❤️
I skipped on the kosas blushes because I couldn't decide on a shade 😅 I probably wouldn't reach for it either. I'll swatch the patrick ta highlighter in store, but I am more interested in the skkn highlighter ✨️ ❤
Hi Kelly! I was wondering what foundation shade you are for HAUS Labs? I can’t figure out what my shade is because I don’t have a store in the state I live that actually sells HL. I think we are similar skin tone/shade, would you be able to let me know? Also, just have to say, love your videos! Thank you for your great content and great way of speaking.
A tubing *brow gel*? Who needs that? I know tubing mascaras are supposed to be long-lasting and won’t budge till you take them off, so you can wear them to the gym, on a manual labor job, etc. but I’ve never heard of people having a problem with eyebrow gel or powder or pencil running or smearing. Milk Makeup is probably going to be a “Rise and Fall” pretty soon at the way it’s going, grabbing for the gimmicks. (I do still have an old Milk Makeup blush oil in “Ripe,” a rosy pink, that I’m hanging on to because the shade is great, but they’ve gone and discontinued actually usable products like roll-on blush oils for that awful “cooling water” stuff that Kelly rightfully panned. Another gimmick!) I know cosmetics companies want to stand out in this saturated market, but, jeez, gimmicks are going to be the death of them. If I want to experiment with something gimmicky I’ll go for a drugstore product - less $ wasted if I hate it.
I may have missed it but have you tried the new Elf sun boss glosses? It’s weird because a lot of people announced them but I’ve hardly seen anyone actually try them. I tried them myself and was a bit disappointed at the texture of them
I was actually really excited for a non-uber-glittery but more wet skin look highlighters by Patrick Ta and LET ME TELL YOU: they delivered. I'm light-medium neutral -golden/warm and got My love and Sugar. Both look exquisite. But be warned: apply with a light hand !!!! When built up, they CAN be seen from space/ tin man. But softly applied, they are true to claims: wet skin, subtle glisten. Perfect for me. Sheer and lovely. And this being the case......they'll last forever and a day. Probably will be the last highlighter purchased for SOME TIME......❣💫 ps: lasting power: at least 8 hours.
In defense of the highlighter: I have combination skin that gets dry on my cheekbones so the Patrick ta method and formula works really well for me. Also I got the shade sugar which is really pretty imo. It’s like a dimensional champagne color
Hi Kelly, I have 3 flex shades in my Undefined R&R Sun Serum Tinted Mineral SPF 50 PA++++. Happy to send your way to compare to DE. I think you’d match Light Tint/Neutral undertone
His second blush palette wasn’t well received. The highlighter in that particular palette had sparkle. I am surprised that influencers didn’t compare it. I guess everyone must have decluttered it from their collection.
Calling a sunscreen sheer so everyone thinks this will work for them, and then it not being that-Why? Just say light, don’t confuse us. Also, I am such a fan of glowy/ dewy, but that sunscreen literally makes you look like you’ve just been sweating in this heat wave.
Do you let your sunscreen dry down before you apply your foundation? It seems that the sponge would pick up the spf when you put the foundation on. Maybe you cut out all the waiting time for filming !
The Patrick Ta highlighter is so bad... Seeing all these influencers raving about it on Tiktok just goes to show you how much people will simp over brands. A greasy mess and the powders give absolutely nothing.
Before the reformulation the products were not good so hopefully the new formula will be better? Nope, it still looks terrible it would be too yellow even for my medium skin tone. To me all of the products you have shown are a hard pass.
These are the exact same formula that was in the holiday palette that had a highlight in it that no one liked. I’m surprised no one has put two and two together. He got such bad reviews about that I’m surprised he released a whole set of them.
tbh kelly I think he's shot his self in the foot making the highlighters in the same format as the blush they are totally different products and I think this should have gone through intense wear testing xx

The drunk elephant sunscreens definitely had shimmer/sparkle in them! Maybe they took it out now but for years were glittery
Oooh interesting! The new formulas don’t contain any shimmer
That’s good to know!
I remember they gaslight ppl by saying there was not any sparkle when clients would criticize the look
I hated this sunscreen, so thick and greezy. I try to use all of my products up and I just couldn't with this and I used it on my body instead.
The highlight looks really interesting, I might pick one up. For going out, a subtle glitter that isn’t too noticeable is what I’m looking for. But, I can also see why ppl would dislike them! Definitely not a formula that everyone would like LOL

Woah it's wild how that highlighter is both intense and also disappears when you turn? I get what you mean.
I actually love that in a highlighter! Don't know if I'm weird, but I like ones that are invisible straight on but visible when they catch the light

Either way your skin looks great!
What in the hell is the purpose of a tubing brow gel?? I've never had difficulty taking my brow product off so it seems just pointless

The worst
Vaseline !!
It’s because you put the right amount on which is too much. So many use a little bit which will not be enough to protect the skin xx😊

Hi Kelly, I have 3 flex shades in my Undefined R&R Sun Serum Tinted Mineral SPF 50 PA++++. Happy to send your way to compare to DE. I think you’d match Light Tint/Neutral undertone
and marketing like this + your price point is why I have zero interest in undefined products 😂
His second blush palette wasn’t well received. The highlighter in that particular palette had sparkle. I am surprised that influencers didn’t compare it. I guess everyone must have decluttered it from their collection.
I think im too early. Patrick Ta was a bit of a let down tho.
Those don't look to appealing! Lol thanks for the warning! 😂😂 ❤❤

Have you tried setting your face and doing the highlighter after as last step?
The highlighters remind me of bad drugstore ones from the past. Balmy sticky with sheer glitter.
I hate sparkles ✨😂
Like the sunscreen but is it good?
Do you let your sunscreen dry down before you apply your foundation? It seems that the sponge would pick up the spf when you put the foundation on. Maybe you cut out all the waiting time for filming !

It has mineral in its name.

Yes but also 🍉🍉🍉🍉🍉 nyx doesnt support palestine

I have always seen you as in-between fair to medium.
