HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! Thank you so much for hanging out with me in 2023...I appreciate each and every one of you. Here's to an amazing 2024! 🥳🥳🥂🥂🍾🍾
I honestly cannot think of a single person on RU-vid (or anywhere) that does it better than Jen when it comes to these kinds of videos. So many details and observations with every single example. Even though we are just talking about fun makeup, Jen really shows just how smart she is in general with the way she analyzes and delivers info. Definitely a very bright (and honest) woman. 👍👍 👑
Thank you for pronouncing yucca correctly!! It's been bugging me that others are not saying it right. The yucca plant grows here abundantly so I've know that plant a while and this palette makes sense in its color story.
0:13 I have a ton of Revlon lipsticks and I love them. My understanding is they are the number one selling lipstick in the United States. So, whether influencers like them or not, consumers are smart enough to pick a Revlon Lipstick @ 9.99 instead of the average lipstick price point being 39.00. Thank you Jen for the information.
I'm so happy that you did this. End the year with a bang! I'm thankful that you aren't driven by sponsorship/pr by the hi-end brands and always give your honest opinion. Happy new year to you & your family! I'm so very thankful for you !
The Queen of Dupes 👑👸 Jen, you always come with fresh content and the dupes are insane recommendations!!! Thank you for saving us ladies some cash! Happy New Year🎉
Omg I love you for the clarification of yucca. I grew up with my Colombian mother pronouncing it yoo- (or joo) ca and thought everyone was butchering this palette name! I didn’t know the root vegetable was different from the plant! 🌱 😂
I just love how you do comparison swatches! I know that takes work but it is appreciated... It really shows the similarities... Even when each color doesn't match, to my eye it looks so similar there's no difference. Thank you Jen, Happy New Year!
5 years?! Feels like I've been watching you even longer, probably because your dedication makes it seem that way. Excited for more! Happy New Year in advance!
Alter Ego has some amazing palettes. My husband got me the Rose Quartz palette for Mother's day. Fairly quickly I had hit pan in several shades. I saw the positive reviews on Coastal so I ordered that along with Midsummer because I was afraid I'd pan Rose Quartz the way I was going through it lol. I swatched some of the special texture shades from Rose Quartz (like Moon Magic) next to the Alter Ego version and asked my husband which one he thought was Huda's. He picked the Alter Ego one. (Used your code too, Jen). I need more Alter Ego palettes lol. Waiting on Pretty Grunge to arrive (Christmas present from my husband). Thoroughly love your channel, Jen. Love that you put awatches in your b roll. Really, really appreciate it. Happy new year! -Klarissa
random, but i love how you often match your eye look to your outfit. your makeup is always super cohesive. i don’t have the motivation to match things like you do 😂❤
Jenn thanks for a great year. Watching you has been so therapeutic for me to just escape from the stress of being a caregiver to my mom who has Alzheimer’s. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Glad to have discovered this channel and subbed. Thank you for the content and all the effort it takes to get it out to us. Happy New Year to you and your family, and to your audience at large.
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been five years!! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years! I can count on honest reviews, and have found some holy grails thanks to you 💜💜 congrats on five years 🎉
I love the green eye shadow💚 Wow! The Revlon Apricute is identical to the NARS! I can’t believe that Flower Beauty still hasn’t reopened their website! I hope they do next year The Yucca and Oden’s Eye Stone palette are a great dupe! I got the Moira powder because of you! I didn’t get the loose one but the finishing powder one (it’s the same tri color). This was a fantastic video! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do on your videos. You are a gem❤❤Happy New Year🎆
Jen, I've watched your videos as well as some other beauty You-Tubers, and I have to say, in absolute honesty, this video is the very best of 2023. Your videos are always outstanding. Happy New Year, friend!
You are so articulate and real Jen. Could listen to you talk for hours. Thanks for saving us all money. Because God knows, we all have entirely way too much makeup as it is, lol.
You're always good company while I'm enjoying my tea 🫖 Thanks Jen for sharing this video and the swatches too. So many affordable cosmetics available at the drugstore that keep our wallets happy 😊 Cheers for a Happy New Year with happiness and peace ❤ Take care everyone 🌹
This is the video I really needed. I'm looking to add to my makeup collection as I haven't worn makeup regularly in years. So many of the influencers on You Tube talk about the high end brands, which I'll never buy, just too expensive for me. The dupe for Givency is the most exciting one.
What an excellent video. I love having all these dupe/similar products in one place. Thanks for all of your hard work this year! I really enjoy your videos and your swatches have always been the best, hands down. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to put your videos together. Your content always feels more professional/evolved than many others that do the same. Happy New Year! Best wishes for an amazing 2024!
Thank you for always bringing us more affordable options to the higher end brands 😊I’m so very glad I found your channel this year! I have taken a lot of your recommendations and have been very happy with the drugstore products. They’re really stepping up their game 🎉 this was a great video! I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store 🎊 I hope you have a very Happy New Year!🎈🎊🎆 sending much love hugs and prayers your way ❤️🙏 thank you for all you do!
I LOVE this video concept! and I really like that you highlight 'not a dupe but same effect' products - I feel like there are so many products that people say are un-dupeable, which is maybe true sometimes - but only before application and wear!
WOAH i skipped on Yuca b/c i was thinking it would probably not be the best investment. But i did get the Odin’s Eye and you’re the first person to do that comparison. That was invaluable - thank you!!
I absolutely love the Moira powder, it sits on my under eyes just like urban decays soft loose setting powder does which was my holy grail until they discontinued it
Love your alternatives, Jen. There are some brands I just don't buy from for overhype reasons and I can't get behind the price, so it's always great to see shades and formulas that fit the bill if I like the look. 🎉
Happy New Year Jen! Videos like this are what drew me to your channel and you never ever disappoint! I love how you distinguish between dupes and alternatives, how you compare color, texture, formula and application, and how you always give credit to others if you learn about something from a different creator. Not only are you thorough beyond belief and so much fun to watch, you are a total class act. You are just the best of the best on RU-vid, truly! Wishing you a joyful and blessed 2024!
Happy New Year! What a fantastic list of dupes. You're amazing Jen! The 10 pan wet n wild lights off palette has a row of black, Grays and Silvers that creates a nice smokey look for $5 if you don't want to buy the xenon palette. I reach for it all the time and it includes a beautiful hunter green.
Happy New Year, Jen! I think the Alter Ego palettes are good. I love eyeshadow, but I don't use it often enough to buy the more expensive palettes. Thank you for all the info, inspiration, and fun from last year. ❤
Swatch 👸 👑 queen! No one is better. Love when you do budget friendly dupes or close to high-end products. ❤ this is just at the right time, too. After the holidays. Happy New Year's ❤🎉🎉. Hope 2024 is a great start to all. Thanks for all the hard work this past year. 🎉🎉
The Alter Ego Coastal Palette has been out of stock for months, are they bringing it back? I had no idea about the Yuca plant! lol Thanks for bringing us all the dupes!
Happy New Year’s to you and your family. Thank you for your amazing 2023 reviews. Can’t wait to see you in 2024.❤ I did try a few Alter Ego pallets and had to pass them on, on me the shimmers had too much glitter fallout even with the glitter glue the mattes were good. I think that Physicians contour wand was way prettier on you than the CT.🥰
So thrilled I discovered your channel in 2023. U r now the #1 You-Tube Influencer I trust for recs/feedback on MUP and Skincare, esp for the dupes and drugstore alternatives.
I love your channel! One of my favorite beauty youtubers...I go to your page first before purchasing anything because I trust your honest reviews. Happy New Year Jen! 🎉
The perfect video to end this year. Thanks Jen, these are my favorite videos you put out. Thank you for all you do🙏🏼 I wish you and your lovely family very happy and healthy New Year 🎊🥂🥰
🌸🌸🌸Jen, I’m sooo glad you explained to everyone about Yucca! We had a back yard full of yuccas growing up , they are always around here in So Cal. Great video especially now when we are all trying to save our $$$! Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy and happy new year 🌸🌸🌸
Your dupes are always THE BEST!!! Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! Money's been tight recently so these types of videos saves me so much money AND time❤
I love the Colourpop 11:11 palette. I started using Alter Ego when I saw them on your channel and the Coastal is beautiful and useful. You are surely the Queen of Dupes Jen. I enjoyed this video and all of the good dupes. I have had a wonderful 2023 with you and you have saved me so much money and I am so thankful for that. I pray that you and your family have a very Happy New Year full of Love, Peace and Happiness and Joy of the Lord.
Happy New Year! This is why I have followed your channel for years! Seriously, I should send you a check, you have saved me so much money. As always, thank you for sharing! P.S. I love the look that you have on today!
Hello, your green eye shadow looks so stunning! Thank you for your all your videos. Dupe videos are very appreciated. I wish you & your family a happy and healthy new year.
The elf eyeshadow sticks are amazing. Feel asleep with my makeup on and woke up with my eyelids looking great still lol. 😂 the first few times I used them I didn't think they were that good but they are better when you use them more they get creamier and more pigmented imo. Milani lip oil is an amazing dupe for dior! I love catrice too they do everything well I've tried from them 😊
Love ur dupe videos! So excited to try the ND concealer alternative cause everyone is obsessed with that concealer. The new Maybelline shadow sticks are awesome 😊❤Ur palette comparisons are amazing!
Thank you, Jen. You are my go-to makeup advisor, even though I am older than you are. I appreciate how honest and candid you are, and how well-executed your videos are-so direct and informational, with no egotistical blither. So professional.
Happy New Year Jen ❤ Wishing you and your family a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year🎆🥂 The 11:11 palette was by far my favourite dupe for 2023!!! Can't wait to show us even more incredible dupes on 2024 😘
Amazing look today❤️great video as always . I have no words to tell you how I appreciate you your channel the work you put in🎉❤ the best ever thank you
