It's funny that you apologise for giving us a long video when we are more than happy to watch it!! thank you Kathleen for giving your complete honest opinion, you did amazing at keeping it short but precise about each product! loved this video and love you!
+KathleenLights you should try the essence brow gel! I forgot the actual name, but it's supposed to be a dupe for Benefit's Gimme Brow, and it's only a couple of bucks. Milani also has a brow pomade that I've been loving! I never used pomade because I didn't think my brows were thick enough, but this one is perfect and under 10$!
It makes me a little sad when she worries that her videos are too long or when she tells us something off topic and says “not that you guys asked”. I personally love long videos of her and her just talking about whatever. She's the only youtuber I have fallen in love with. 28 minute video, I would never watch for anyone else. She has the best subscribers and I hope she sees this and realizes we don't mind a lot of things that she thinks we do. 😊
No no Kathleen you need to try Makeup Revolution eyeshadow palettes. They're a fairly new UK brand but if you can get your hands on an eyeshadow then do it! Best eyeshadows I've ever used!!
Thank you for doing this!!! I feel like some youtubers say during hauls, "I'll totally let you guys know how ! like this stuff!" Then don't and we're like, "um hey!" Lol so anyway thank you!!!!
rachhloves does a haul and then two weeks later she gives a review on the haul, it's great. I definitely prefer reviews that have been used for a good proud of time to a first impression.
Haha, I totally agree! First impressions are fine, but I, too, prefer reviews after a trial period. I love how Kathleen actually listed every single product in the description box too. Really like these videos :P
Also, I'll have to try the Maybelline Velvet Matte Foundation. I almost bought it yesterday, but it said it was for normal to dry skin, and I have oily skin so I didn't think it would work for me.
I just realized I didn't talk about the nyx primer spray :( I'm so sorry!!! I was all over the place! I liked it! I didn't notice a crazy different but so far so good
+KathleenLights OMG! Wishing to finish my work to watch this video!! Where is the mirror from? I´m decorating my new place and I need a nice one to do my make up :) Kisses from Spain :)
Lol, no joke I had to rewind the video six times because I thought I missed the part where you talked about the nyx spray primer lmao. But thank you for giving your review in the comments! ❤️
Yesssss, I love how she said the cushion sponges work best with the cushions. Dude, they are created to work with cushion foundations. oh and although they only have about half of a regular foundation, if I have left over liquid foundation & need it on the go, I refilled my Cover girl Cushion using that. the cushion is removable
+Catherine Q. They are truly great! I went & bought the whole set. The walgreens near me has the face brushes at 2 for $5, and the eyes one at .99c each! Can't beat that since the brushes are super soft & great!
+Catherine Q. Anyone know where you can get the NEW wetnwild highlighters, the ones that come in the pan similar to the blushes and they have an actual design on the powder product?? I cannot find them anywhere! thanks!
+KathleenLights kath,can you please tell me the shade of the l'oreal pro matte gloss that you're wearing? I looked in the description but I think you forgot to mention the color ..
Love the way you did this video!! Y far one of the best (& most helpful) ways I've ever seen someone follow-up to a haul (or two). It was jam packed w/ good info & was super helpful. Would love to see you do similar follow-ups to future hauls. Great idea re: how you organized it too...much more cohesive than doing it by brand. Kudos!!
Forgot to do the assignment!😀. Favorite new finds @ the drug store are the Milani Amore Matte Lip Cremes & eyeshadow palettes, Wet n Wild's new Au Naturel palette in Bare Necessities (Walmart-exclusive), & Black Radiance's Baked Blush in Plum (nor new but new to me). The least favorite thing I've tried recently is Hard Candy's Velvet Mousse Matte Lip Color, specifically in Sweet Pea (as I've heard some other shades are better)....adorable packaging but horribly patchy.
+Victoria Guidry I have it and like it. I use it with another NYX color correcting primer (the blue one for fair skin) and the combo works great for my skin!
Isabella Soto exactly,a lot of people think that cheap makeup is bad and they rush to chanel or some super expensive store but the truth is cheaper makeup is way better and most of them are mashallah cruelty free,like wet n wild and essence and elf and nyx are amazing,and milani,I love their blushes
Sabrina Todd I have yet to find drugstore eyeshadows that I like more than my Too Faced, Urban Decay, and Morphe eyeshadows. Everything else I love drugstore but I can't find eyeshadows I like.
yes yes YES!! I was just sitting at my desk at work like "bored. bored, I'm boooored" and then WHAM BAM ALACAZAM Kathleen posts TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES OF GOODNESS. slay.
Kathleen, you should try spraying your foundation brush with the Physicians Formula Argan coconut primer, and then buffing the foundation in. That's what I do and it makes my foundation glide on and gives a nice sheer finish. Great video 👍🏻😎
Try a real (I'm so biased haha) Korean / Japanese cushion!! I am such a Korean beauty snob, I refuse to try any of the western versions because I LOOOVE my Korean cushions. 1) they're refillable!!! You don't have to pay for the packaging over and over and over again -- you snap out the cushion part and snap in the refill, super easy. Less waste from discarded packaging, cheaper price, win win. 2) my favorite brand is currently Innisfree and in addition to having 4 different formulas they also let you customize your cushion case; which is awesome! So not only do you get to customize the outer case (there's like 100 possible combinations of the pattern, type of puff, etc. I believe I heard that somewhere?) but then you just buy refills and keep your beautiful case! Best part -- really quite affordable, but not skimping on the product quality. Great coverage, super dewy "K beauty" finish. I think you pay about $20-$25 for the cushion and case, and then you spend maybe $15 on refills. Some brands (IOPE's Air Cushion XP is another crazy popular cushion, like the number one in Korea , they include a refill when you buy the cushion so it's like $40 but IOPE's also a little bit of a higher end brand) My only problem is that because they are created by and for the Korean market, Korean (and Japanese too) complexion products have a VERY small shade range, usually 3-4 shades if that. I'm very sorry to my deeper skinned fellow beauty lovers, but you will likely not find anything beyond like a Mac NC/NW 25-35 (I'm not a Mac person but I looked at a couple swatches for a benchmark to give you an idea and that's roughly what they look like). I firmly believe that as Korean products enter the American markets, there will naturally be a rise in the quality of the Western versions to keep up or the Korean brands will expand their ranges. I'm cheering for you!! You can buy directly from Innisfree, or for other brands (almost everyone is refillable) try either Jolse, Memebox, or RoseRoseShop
I feel like you're the only youtuber that I can rely on not to annoy me eventually. You come across so lovely, down to earth and genuinely wanting to help people! That's for being amazing to watch Kathleen! ❤️
Hey Kathleen, If you want phenomenal/amazing/incredible drugstore eyeshadow palettes you need to try Sleek Eyeshadow palettes. This is a UK brand but I think you can get them from Amazon. I promise you will not be let down.
But new things that I have found at the drugstore that I adore: So, here are the things that are ELF products that I just love, Love, LOVE- -Eyeshadow primer -Cream eyeliner -Their angled eyeliner brush really works for me, so I love it! -The NYX setting spray, I think works pretty well. Things that I didn't like: -NYX lingerie lippies. Omg the scent is so chemically, it would probs give me a headache. -Neutrogena healthy skin enhancer, it's like their beyond a bb cream. It says it provides a sheer tint, but to me I feel like it has absolutely no coverage and like is gone after 3 hours.
+Simply Kala's Life , Try Gosh eyebrow pencil in grey brown. very neutral tone.💖 it very much. If you find it slightly powdery, set it with clear eyebrow gel.
Videos like this are why you are my absolute favourite beauty blogger 🙏🏻🙏🏻 you answer the prayers of us budget beauties by showing us fab drugstore products! LOVE your channel! ❤️
Thanks for putting this together. I noticed you don't use any English brands like Rimmel London or make up revolution- just interested if you tried any of those in the past.I love your channel and the vids you make.
New subscriber! 💕 I love how you'll try ANY product like I hate how everyonr on RU-vid literally talks about the same product. I always discover a new product with you
Holy crap im obsessed with you! You're videos are actually totally relevant to girls who want real reviews on affordable products and have high end product results JEEEEEZ THANK YOU!!!
+Denise Gonzalez Same here, when I first started wearing makeup my sister convinced me that they were basically a gift from heaven, and unfortunately it took me way to long to realize that other brands are better! I do however really like their concealer that is like a lipstick it's my current favorite!
I'm glad someone else realized how good the loreal brow definer is! I'm so glad there's a dupe for brow wiz in the drugstore :) hopefully they don't sell out forever now lol
just wanted to say that I went out today and bought the Loreal Infallibe ProMatte gloss in Bare Attraction and I'm OBSESSED! the color, the way it goes on and dries. just love it!
You've shown in the video Nyx First Base Primer Spray, but you didn't say anything about it and skipped right to Physicians Formula Primer Argan Wear :( Can you please tell us your opinion in the comments section/under video or do another video on it? I'm really interested in your opinion about the NYX one since usually what works on you works on me ❤️
Hi Kathleen! I'm loving all of your drugstore reviews! I heard you mention that the new wetnwild brushes are amazing, could you maybe do a full video on them? :D
I don't know if they still have any. but kmart had better rebates on the new PF stuff.. To me it woudnt be worth it since I would have to drive so far out of the way plus people like to take the little sticker off the makeup.. just something to thank about though.
Kristin Musa That would be great! I was at Wal-Mart the other day and they had a wide selection of Hard Candy cosmetics but I had no idea what's good and worth buying?
as I watched this I was making a new note in my phone of all the products you liked lmao, so now when I'm at the drugstore I don't even have to think ! thanks for doing all the work for me LOL, xo
We don't have many of these drug store brands in Australia, so I searched the Crush Cosmetics website and bought ALL the Wet N Wild brushes and the Milani foundation. Not quite as cheap as the US prices but the brushes were all under $8. Thanks Kathleen!
You know why the L'oreal cushion foundation is so good? Cause it's made in Korea! They know how to do makeup, and their cushion foundations are all sooooo good, I kid you not! :D
I would LOVE to see you repeat this look in a tutorial. I absolutely love the simple/beautiful looks, but I need HELP getting them. You look so gorgeous!!
I bought the butter bronzer because you and Nicole from youngwildandpolished said it was great and I LOVE it! I'm pretty fair and I love how natural it looks on me! I have a hard time with bronzers so I think you helped me find my holy grail ☺️🤓
This is my first time watching you and I have to say I love your honesty and your specific FTC disclosures. Transparency in this business is so hard to find and you are a gem for being so real! Excited to have found your channel! ❤️
+Marina Romo i have super oily skin and cerave moisturizer works amazingly for me as well!! my friend recommended it to me after her dermatologist suggested it.
Right?! We only have a tiny range of products here, whenever I go to rexall (the only place I can even find them) the wet n wild display is suuuper tiny..
A girl at Ulta told me they're pretty good! I had to pass on them simply because I have too much eyeshadow, but I bought a blush and a bronzer from them and they're currently my favorite!
I just got the Iconic 3 palette and it is stunning. The colors last all day on me, and I have oily eyelids (I do use the Urban Decay primer). Very pigmented, easy to blend. I do get some fall out, but it's easy to clean up. Definitely worth the $7!
Hey, Kathleen! Can you make a holy grail products video, please?! :) Don't just keep it to one product if you have a hard time deciding haha. We all wanna know whatchu thiinnnnkkk!
Kathleen! Try the garnier waterproof micellar water with the blue cap! In my experience it doesn't quite melt off your makeup the way that bioderma does, but it will still manage to remove all of it with a couple more swipes!
Because of you, I began expanding on my makeup stash and trying to be better. I recently bought all 3 of your Lumieres, Weenie and Porter. I hope they look good on my tan skin just as good as it is on you! Thanks for being you I hope you keep collabing and inspiring people.
+Teresa Vasievich You are a life saver! I've been wanting to buy it since Kathleen mentioned it on all her social media and it's been out of stock forever! Thank you!
I love your honesty! Like, I wish more youtubers were as detailed as you are. Your enthusiasm about products makes me want to go shopping right now. I just thought you should know that you're good at these videos :)
Did you try the L'oreal Sublime Soft miscellar water? I don't know of it's available in the states though...? Anyways that is the one I use everyday and I really enjoy it! If it is not available in the states, I was thinking I could maybe send you a box with products you can only find in canada that way you would get to try out some new stuff and maybe some Bourjois things also ;-)
Girrrrl I need this white foundation you speak of!!! That is what I've always said I needed to mix in my foundations BC I always get the lightest shade in every line and they are always too dark! Where can I get that?
Kathleen! I found that the maybelline vivid matte liquids works better if you line your lips (not fill), apply, then take a tissue put it between your lips and press dow LIGHTLY. It takes the excess off so they dry matte but they're still creamy. This works better with the more brighter pigmented colors like number 35 in "rebel red" after a while the red became more like a stain but stayed on pretty well. Love you:)!
honestly...idk if its my technique or what but I have to completely disagree on the wet n wild contour powder, at least the shade i got, its SO muddy. I was in the drugstore literally yesterday and saw a demo photoset of a model wearing the product and SHE looked muddied. I really dont like it..
Prism0lly and if it doesn't work for u it might be because your skin tone doesn't do well with cool toned products and I would try a warmer contour or bronzer. You should try the maybelline contour kit!
My friend bought the maybeline sponge thing and she likes it. She doesn't have that much makeup though and she doesn't know good from bad. I hate it but whatever
