👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿👿

Peleaulani Mahi Aww, thank you! Xoxo

Soccergirl28 Thanks for the recommendation! Have not tried this one yet.

Jenn Beagle I am so glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

Nathalie K hi nathalie , I know you like doing top 10 drugstore items , can you please do a top 10 makeup remover video , I am finding it hard to get a good remover at a decent price.

The garnier 5 second blur is the best!!!!

Belle Honey Would you say for very large pores its better than nyx angel veil?? I have maybelline baby skin and it does nothing 😞 My pores still look huge after all my makeup is done.

And from this day on I shall never use Maybelline or Garnier products

Toni Maybelline and Garnier are both owned by L'Oreal and this is L'Oreal's statement re animal testing. Basically, they say that they don't test on animals, anywhere in the world, and they do not delegate this task to others. They go on to state that they only make exceptions if regulatory authorities required it for safety or regulatory purposes. "L’Oréal is committed to only market products whose safety has been evaluated according to rigorous and ethical protocols. The goal is to prevent our consumers from experiencing any adverse effects from the product’s use. Traditionally, the safety assessment of products and ingredients was done by means of animal testing. "However, since the 1980s, L’Oréal believes that the future of safety evaluation lies in the development of alternative, 'predictive' strategies. This approach is built on the substantial scientific progress being made in the fields of reconstructed skin models, molecular modeling and also high-performance data processing. It allows us to exploit all of the data that the Group has been accumulated over the course of a century, representing over 50 000 ingredients. "These new strategies and the considerable research efforts behind them have paid off: in 1989, L’Oréal was able to end all testing of its products on animals, without making our products any less safe. Since March 2013, the Group has taken another decisive step: The Group no longer tests on animal, anywhere in the world, and does not delegate this task to others. An exception could be made if regulatory authorities required it for safety or regulatory purposes. "Thanks to our advances in alternative methods, our partnerships with research institutes worldwide and the extraordinary determination of our teams, L’Oréal has entered the “predictive” era of forecasting an ingredient’s safety & efficacy before it has been synthesized. This ambition, which is supported by the international scientific community known as “toxicology of the 21st century”, is manifest in our laboratories’ efforts and fuels our innovation. "More than 30 years ago L’Oréal chartered a new course that today allows us to innovate for beauty around the world without recourse to animal testing."

Still not using either..

I'm aware of L'Oreal's policy, however they are still doing testing in order to continue sales in China, that exception they refer to. In order to sell their products in China, all their products sold there are being animal tested. This effort to make it sound minimal because they only do it when required, doesn't mean it actually is minimal. Cruelty free brands have to opt out of China sales, and those of us who shop only cruelty free are making a conscious choice to reward them for losing the market.

530Paradise why do any companies animal test anyway , products dont perform on animals the way they do on humans , and I know not to spray hairspray in my eyes, I don't need someone spraying it in rabbits eye's to tell me that.

I have bigger than average pores, does the Rimmel minimize pores so the make up slides on? I'm new to makeup and I'm trying to find a good non expensive primer! Thanks! x

+Sxlvny the loreal youth code would work great for you under makeup.

Claire Pallie sammme

Angela_Marie_GD😌☺ YES I have seen quite a few brushes but never hear anyone talk about them

Angela_Marie_GD😌☺ So glad I found your comment again! So she DID DO THAT VIDEO lol go to her channel and scroll down youll see it!

Heather Crutchley would it work for dry skin?

I tried it once and it clogged my pores, I ended up breaking out. But im glad it works for you! It definitely did its job when I used it. Just not for every skin type.

Nicole Maryce Martinez De la Cruz Your comments always make my day! So glad to hear that you are finding my videos helpful! I appreciate the time you are taking from your day to watch them!

Maritza Courneya If your talking about The maybelline baby skin then I agree. I bpught it so im using it the only day it worked ever was the very first time i tried it.. ever since then I hate it 😞 It doesnt fill in my pores, after i apply my foundation my pores still look like giant holes in my face ugh..

Ces Aguirre She actually has a video on best setting sprays!! Go check her channel out its a good video :)

antonia fitzgerald You are very welcome, Antonia! So happy to hear that you find them helpful! Thank you for taking the time to watch them!

Tabitha Charanza That is a great recommendation! Never would have thought of it, but it would be fun to try and recreate her classic look : )

+Nathalie K I am looking forward for your best drugstore eyeshadow primer review 😆😄💖 thanks for your videos btw. It's very helpful and I literally rely on them whenever I wanna buy something for my makeup.. So far I'm liking the nyx angel veil which is on your top list. Have tried it and luv it! And the loreal infallible foundation I'm using it too. Luv it! Bought it when I watched your videos.. I'm subscribed to your channel ☺️

+Brooke Richards oh! I am about to try the Rimmel one out, wich one would you recommend?

Aurose My personal favorites are those from Bare Minerals, but of course the are very expensive which is why I have been on the search for a good drugstore primer :). So far I have tried Rimmel stay matte (purple), Rimmel fix and perfect pro (blue), and Neutrogena shine control (black). None of them have impressed me, but I do not like the neutrogena one at all. Out of the two rimmel ones, they do a decent job as general drugstore primers, but as a girl who gets oily 20 mins after washing her face, they are not adequate mattifying primers. I would go ahead and try the rimmel one, I didn't notice a large difference between the two. I have not tried the red one they have come out with. I have heard from other videos that the angel veil primer is good, but that is next up on my list.

Belle Honey I absolutely understand what you are saying. Primers like anything else can work differently on different skin types/people. It is not that I did not like the Garnier 5 sec Blur but just that when comparing it to the others, it was not my favorite. I find I reach for it more in the cooler months when my skin does not need as much oil control. Thanks for sharing your experience, though! Always love hearing different opinions.

Would you recommend it for normal skin? I'm not dry or oily. I've been looking for a good drugstore primer.

Google User MEE TOO!!! If you find something that works please please let me know because Im so over this 😞

Google User ditto

Hayley H I’m super late to this party but I have the same issue and I use the angel veil NYX primer or the fix and perfect Rimmel primer and the fit me for normal to dry skin dewy+smooth foundation. I have combination skin that is flakey dry, big pores in some areas and small breakouts. I specifically use Fit Me 125 but it’s a newer fit me foundation they have and i love it. I’ve only had it for a week but it’s comparable to my tarte foundation that’s 3 times as much money.

Even though it's 2 years later..lol

Josephine garcia I have tried the elf mineral primer and really like that one. Thanks for all your support, Josephine! Love your name, btw!

felinekj I actually have a "Best & Worst Drugstore Eyeshadow Primers" already up. Here is the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UyqlR2bJwNo.html. Hope it helps!

Thank u! Sorry I should have looked first :)

angel maldonado that's not necessary for you to be rude like that...get your life boo...go learn some manners

felinekj really like the urban decay ones

+Helen Ashleigh I would say the Hourglass is one of my all time favorites but not sure it is worth the price. The NYX is really good and pretty similar. I would start off with the NYX and see how you like it because if you love it then you just saved a ton of money. Thank you for your kind words and for your question!

You are very welcome :D thank you for your advice. I bought the NYX primer and absolutely love it! It's a life saver x

+Milabu Thank you!!

raiza ontiveros Thank you so much, Raiza! So happy to have you as a viewer and to hear you are enjoying it.

+Alex Such Thank you, Alex! That is very sweet of you to say. Hope it works for you.

+Nathalie Marie Kay I also bought the Nyx Angel veil and I'm LOVING it, since I do have oily skin in the T-zone area, I've struggled for a while to find a primer that works for me. This video helped tons❤️:)

+Alex Such out of the rimmel or nyx which one do u like btr?

I don't know that they would be my first pick for oily skin since your skin type will naturally create a "glow" as oil develops. These might exaggerate it. I would say if you want to add a more iridescent glow to skin you might be better off with using powder highlighters and luminescent finishing powders like Hourglass or Makeup Revolution after you have applied your foundation and oil controlling powder. I would probably also use a mattifying primer underneath my foundation just to help extend the wear and try to keep the oil production at bay longer. They would probably work better and last longer with oily skin.

Bethany Jayne Yes, I think it should work fine. I use the Stay Matte Primer with many different kinds of foundations. I do find that with some matte foundations, it can become too drying and the foundation can look extra heavy. But it works nicely with the Wake Me Up foundation on my skin.
