I think the new set up looks great! 😍 The resolution is so sharp and clear. The lighting isn't as warm as it was before but I actually like it better because it's easier to see detail when you're applying makeup. The sound is perfect! ☺️
I find I tend to ignore sticks no matter even if they're creamy because on my mature lid I just find it so much harder to make them work and I'm not there for that. Great video as usual Tara 👍
I bought one LM eyeshadow stick last year and didn’t like the application until I began to use a small flat brush which gave me better control and placement. Then I loved them so much that I purchased 4 more and use them constantly- sometime on their own but mostly in conjunction with powder shadows. They are pigmented enough for me and can be removed with regular non-oily eye makeup remover. ( I use Almay, have for decades because of wearing contacts for many years.) I won’t use anything that causes me to pull or tug on my eyelids. I had heard that the VB ones were beautiful but difficult to remove. I’ll stick with my LM. Great review as usual. Setup, camera and lights look great.
Dang Tara Lynn...you just saved me from wasting my money!! I was considering getting the Hourglass in Galaxy but I don't want one if they're not as pigmented as I thought. Guess I'll stick to the Bobbi Brown & KVD Dazzle sticks...so thanks!! 🥰💖👍
Tara Lynn, have I told you lately that I LOVE you? Thank you for this video and helping me save my money! I already have Laura Mercier caviar sticks and love them… I just thought get the Pecan eyewear… thank YOU
Oh how I love when you save me money!!! I love my Laura Mercier and will stick with them. I also love the shadow sticks from Makeup Forever. Thank you and great review!
Thank you so much for your review. I'm a big fan of the Laura Mercier eye sticks and was really intrigued about these but think I'll stick to those ones. Thanks for saving me some money! X
The lighting looks great! It seems less warm - in a good way. Thank you as always for being so honest Tara. Since I have almost every BB and LM stick, the last thing I need is an addiction to another brand lol. They are so good for mature eyes but the darker mattes tend to be harder to blend, in general. What a shame the HG have such a wonky shape and crumbly texture, for that price?? The gold packaging probably would have sucked me in so thank you for saving me money❣🙏💋 I am getting that lavender VB though 😻💜
Love the lighting and brightness of the new setup! Would it be possible to unblur the background? Having both ways in the video I noticed I was a bit distracted by it. I’ll go with the majority though!
Thanks for the comparison with LM. I just recently discovered those (I’m way behind, I know!) and LOVE them. I got a shimmer and a couple of mattes from VBB and tbh I like the LM better, too. I am curious about the LM mattes. Have you tried them?
Hello Tara, I like the new setting in the background. And your mic sounds good. My personal opinion the coloring is a tad off. It is making your skin look more olive. Not sure if anyone else is seeing this as well. But, that’s probably just a little tweaking that you’d have to do to make you look like your normal complexion. ♥️
Great to have you back! Miss your impeccable, detailed comparison videos. No one else comes close to you in that arena. I own a lot of LM and BB sticks and must say I prefer BB as I feel they r creamier and therefore easier to blend. I like the new setup, particularly the sound as it was always a bit too loud for me even when I adjusted the sound on my laptop.
So glad you reviewed the VB eye sticks. I have many of the VB eye pods and eye liners and wanted to know how the new eye sticks compare. Your feedback is truly helpful. Thank you! Also, your background, video, and audio look great. Tania and her husband Andrew really do seem so nice, as you commented. Tania is also very talented! I look forward to your next video.
OMG thank you so much!!! I was so excited about these and now I'm pretty meh about both. I think I'll try out the Laura Mercier ones, what are your thoughts on the Bobbi Brown ones? Have you tried them? Thank you so much for this review! Love you and your channel!
I had my eye on the Victoria Beckham bronze shade. Thanks for showing that it is not as intense. The pink is gorgeous on you. Your set looks great. The sound is just right and you are lit beautifully! Great comparison review. ❤
Great video Tara. I was contemplating purchasing some of these, however, watching your review plus a couple of others, I think I’ll keep my money! Your new look is fine, however, I love to see your jewellery especially Sydney’s creations, so make sure we see these! 😂😂xxx❤
Love your new set up! Love the background, love the lighting, and image is super clear 👌🏼 Soumd is quite good, only thing I noticed is sometimes when you raised your voice there was a slight buzz or hum sound (I’m wearing earbuds to listen/watch). But it’s so subtle and only happened a couple times, really not a big deal - just sharing cuz you asked :) overall I think it’s great! And thanks for your review and comparisons,…super helpful!
So good to see you sweetie Missed you, I think I will need to get used to the new set up so new and different. I think my biggest request will be for your videos to reflect natural colors as much as possible. I think trying to match the image to the real in person colors will be the ideal set up and video image for us that want to see the way items perform and the true colors and shades.
Great comparison video, Tara! Thanks! I ordered Macaron & Oyster from VBB & am looking forward to using! I also really like the Laura Mercier ones & Bobbi Brown’s as well :))) Hope you’re doing well, pretty lady🤗🤗
I am actually wearing the Lashify lashes in style Curl plus 😁 They're so natural, you can't tell they're fake. They last me 5-7 days. I did a full video on them, going into detail on how I apply them. But, to answer your question. My absolute FAVORITE lash curler is the one from Rephr. That one is the best I've used, and I've used so many different brands😁❤️ Here is the link to the one from Rephr rephr.com/?vr=rewqwr
I had the SAME experience with Pecan! I will use it for lower last line but otherwise… I don’t like it. I’m disappointed! When I used it in my crease I also felt like it stayed sticky feeling all day. Such a yucky feeling! I also find they set pretty quickly, so you definitely need to do one eye at a time.
In terms of staying power across the three brands (LM, VB, and Hourglass), is one better than the others? I have hooded, oily eyelids which is why I was initially drawn to the new eyeshadow sticks.
Well those were a disappointment huh? I have one of the caviar eye sticks, so I’m going to have to retry it. I have such hooded lids that the creasing is a real struggle
Thank you for this review Tara. What was the wear time like for the VB sticks? I've heard they don't budge once applied? Have you tried applying pecan by picking up from the brush first, rather than applying directly to the skin & then blending out. I'm curious as to whether this makes a difference?
That is very true. They definitely stay put. Regarding the pecan shade, I have tried that, but the formula isn't Creamy enough to pick up with a brush. 🤷♀️ it's definitely not an easy shade to blend. Which is a bummer because it's such a great shade. Someone else in the comment said they had the same struggles with that shade, glad I'm not the only one lol. 😁 Thanks for watching, really appreciate it 🙏
@@TaraLynnbeauty Thank you for answering this. Pecan is one of the shades I ordered so hopefully it will work better as an eyeliner. Love your Chanel Tara!
@Kate Boy thank you so much for your support ❤️ I appreciate it so much🙏 I'm hoping it will work for you, i would try adding a small amount at a time, then blend as you go, that may help it not to get patchy & muddy😁
I’m sorry you had technical issues and had to buy a new camera. What a pain. I think the new set up is great though-so lemonade out of lemons. 😉🙂 I think the volume is good too. I could hear you clearly and I don’t use headphones. 🙂 I probably won’t be picking these up or at least not any time soon. I just haven’t been in the mood for cream shadows lately.
I also have the same with pecan, however i find it the most beautifull brown shade that is so pretty, but its not blending, its patchy, and i have to drag my eye to get it good, so dissapointed, another reviewer said it was good so maybe we had a bad one?
I used to have 1 Eyeshadow stick from Bobbi Brown, but it got old, and I had to throw it away last year. That was the only one I had, so I was unable to compare the formulas. I'm so sorry about that💔💔
They're all pretty long wearing. I never had any issues with them fading. 😁 I would choose based on the colors and finish you are looking for😁❤️ The laura mercier and Bobbi Brown have tons of shade options. I used to just one from Bobbi Brown, but I threw it out last year, it was old lol. But, it was a nice formula and they're highly rated😁 Hope that helps❤️
I have used it several times since this video went up, and I still can't get it to blend. I've tried several ways, and it's just not Creamy enough to have an even blend. It works great on the lower Lash line, and to add some color to the lid. But, in the crease, it's really hard to use🤷♀️❤️ I'm with you. That was the color (and the pink one) i was just excited about🤷♀️ Thanks for watching❤️❤️
I bought the Canon EOS RP, and the Canon RF85mm F2 Macro lens. 😁 I know they're better cameras out there, but I started with a Canon, and switching brands was not an option for me😆 I still have some tweaking to do, but so far, I really like the camera😁

Loving the new set up, looks amazing. I think the VB beauty shadow sticks just look more special to me. Loved this review 🤍

Unpopular opinion, I did not like the pink. It looks cheap and chalky. Great review as always!

The focus on the swatches wasn’t as vibrant as they usually are in your videos and the background as well….otherwise the lighting etc. is good.
I'll keep an eye on that, thanks for the tip , Anitra❤️❤️❤️ Really appreciate it🌸🌸
Too bright in the background
Love the new set up. Maybe a little too cool though. Your complexion isn't as radiant. Just my opinion 😉
