Every time I do one of these videos it always feels so weird to me to be on the Sephora website and be like oh
00:00
this is low rated and
00:04
$62.00? Great, add that to the cart. But I feel like some of these products need a second chance and an opportunity
00:06
to redeem themselves. So hopefully I have a good experience with all of these and I don't
00:11
end up with like, a lip pencil in my mouth.
00:15
See the last one for details. Hello everyone! I am here today to share with you guys a full face of makeup
00:17
testing out some products that aren't
00:23
rated the best on the Sephora website. And you will note the title change because Youtube does not like the word
00:25
will flag my video. I feel like this is a chance for me to like actually
00:32
test these all out and see if they're worth the rating, if they deserve a better rating or they really are
00:36
this pile of *censor*.
00:42
And as with all my videos in
00:43
February I'm going to be doing a giveaway and this is what we're gonna be giving away today and
00:45
because we're doing like a bigger giveaway there's like more makeup in this one than some of the other ones that i've been doing, I
00:48
wanted to do something a little bit different than just asking you guys a question.
00:54
So number one, you need to be subscribed to this channel and number two, because I was sort of clearing up my makeup vanity
00:57
space a little bit see the vlog
01:04
from, I think it was last last Saturday, for more details on the anxiety that causes me. So in the process of doing that it
01:06
kind of got me thinking like, where do you guys do your makeup? How do you organize
01:12
it? Do you have it in a makeup bag on the floor in front of a mirror? Do you have it like in your bathroom?
01:16
Do you have a desk for it? Like what do you guys do? So this time around I want you to send me a picture
01:21
right here and it could be on Instagram it could be on Twitter, Facebook, whatever you have, and
01:28
be subscribed to this channel and that's all you need to do to enter this particular giveaway. And don't forget
01:33
to subscribe, so you don't miss out on new videos every Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday. And without further ado, let's get into this.
01:39
So we're gonna start with an eye primer and I've actually used this one before and I'm not gonna lie
01:45
to you it's because I had entirely forgotten to buy an eye primer. But fortunately, I have one that's terribly rated. And this is the
01:49
Sephora Tinted & Cooling Eye Primer. I have here the Matte Beige Pink, and
01:55
people have been just saying their eyeshadow isn't popping, it's creasing by the end of the day, and all of the eyeshadow is also fading.
02:00
I have found this to be fine, like it's not
02:05
my favorite eye primer in the world, but it's not terrible either. And it is both
02:08
tinted and also cooling. I wasn't sure about the whole like cooling aspect of it but like dang, like this does feel really nice in the
02:13
summer time. Next up is an eyeshadow palette, this comes from It Cosmetics is they're Naturally Pretty Essentials Matte Luxe
02:20
Transforming Eyeshadows, and what these are supposed to do is start out matte and then transform to more of a
02:27
satiny finish. Like I don't know why you would buy a matte palette and be like, "I hope this turns
02:33
into something more sparkly!" But in any case, people have been saying that the formula is just very dry, there's no
02:38
pigmentation. The packaging though is
02:43
super cute. It's got this whole like rose gold thing, very like cushy. So these are the shades right here and
02:44
in first glance, like all of these shades
02:50
similar. Like there's no change in depth at all just the undertone's slightly different so it's just like a bunch of really light shadows and
02:55
then two really dark ones. There's no
03:01
mid-tone, no transition at all. And wait, hold on. It says to transform any of the matte shades into a radiant satin shade, first dip
03:04
It into the matte shade and then dip it into the shimmer shade and then apply to your eye. You want something to be matte
03:11
on the brow bone but you want that same shade on your lid, maybe you want to make a little bit more shimmery.
03:17
The option's there. That right there at the top is the shimmery shade and then the two matte shades below it. I don't think
03:22
I'm gonna be able to tell a huge difference once I apply it to my face
03:28
between the really matte and a satin matte but, whatever. We'll try it. So we're gonna start with a shade
03:32
Passion this shade right here, and I'm going to keep it matte and just apply it to the crease. I'm gonna try Dream and
03:36
try and put that on top and just see if that
03:43
does anything? I don't think it's that the eye shadows aren't
03:46
pigmented, I think that the shades are just too light, they need to have some
03:49
medium tones in here, otherwise it's not a very usable
03:53
palette for people. It doesn't look like I applied anything to my eyes yet. I'm gonna use intrigue and I'm going
03:57
to apply that sort of, to the outer
04:03
corner. That shade is very very pretty, it's just there's no
04:05
mid-tone. I think that's the only thing that I have an issue with so far from this palette is
04:08
It's just really light and really dark there's no in-between. Let's see how well this
04:13
dark shade sort of blends out. I feel like i just dusted off a whole bunch of pigment, is that just me? Alright this may
04:16
be a little bit more difficult than I thought to blend. Alright so that is the look that I came with
04:22
I'm gonna be honest I used that shimmery shade mixed in with the matte shade on my lid,
04:27
I didn't notice a huge difference, it's just not
04:32
shimmery enough to balance out the matte to
04:36
notice a difference on my eyes. And moving on to the next one, this is a liner from Sephora as I take it out of
04:39
its package. This is the Sephora Stylographic
04:45
Dramatic Line Full Intense Felt Liner and it is waterproof, and people are saying that it swatched really well in the store but once you
04:48
put it on your eye, one person described it as, "dragging a wet twig
04:55
across your lid". So this makes me very excited
05:00
to put this near my eyeball. You can see that it's kind of shaped like a flame so they're saying use the
05:02
very tip of it and use that against the lash line and then the thicker edge to create more of a dramatic cat eye effect.
05:07
There's definitely not a lot of product in this and it's almost like grey, not super black. It's like using an
05:13
almost dried up marker on your lids and I just, I can't get enough pigmentation and I'm not even done one eye yet.
05:20
Come on liner you're almost there, you can do it!
05:27
There's like nothing coming out of it. You can make one almost black and one grey! Yeah this does not even deserve the
05:33
One-and-a-quarter stars that it currently has. This is garbage!
05:39
So an update on my line before I try and clean it up with a powder and make them, make them even,
05:43
like I'm not getting anything. It's dragging over it's
05:49
removing the product as i try to apply it. So now I'm just gonna try and take this like bluey black shade here and just,
05:52
attempt to make it like, you know, doable. Okay, that seems to be making a slight bit of difference.
05:59
Thank goodness. Like I don't want my eye look to look that bad this close to the beginning of the video.
06:07
Alright, now that those wings are somewhat even, we're gonna go on to the mascara. And today I'm going
06:11
to be testing out one from Givenchy. This is their Noir Couture
06:15
Volume Waterproof Extreme Volume Mascara. And it says here it's going
06:19
to give an intense lash look with lots of volume,
06:23
perfect definition, and there's only one review on this one, it's two stars and they say that it's just not
06:26
worth the price that you're paying for it, the formula is a little clumpy,
06:32
noticing fallout under the eyes and on the lids. So that's one coat on the eyes and the formula is very
06:35
dry. Like I feel like I'm gonna get three uses out of this and then it's going to be
06:41
completely unusable. I am getting some fallout on my eyelids but that's pretty normal for me, that happens with a lot of mascaras.
06:46
but like it's not ~wowing~ me in any way, like I'm not seeing
06:53
extreme volume by any standard. Now on to the brows and today we're gonna be testing out the It Cosmetics
06:57
Brow Power Super Skinny All Day Waterproof
07:02
Universal Brow Penci...that is a mouthful. In terms of what people are saying as to why it isn't
07:05
rated 5 stars here... Alright it seems like people are just saying that it runs out in less than a month. Like how much product
07:12
is actually like in here? WOW
07:19
Do you see that? That just came right out and that is all the product that you get. And this is like 30 bucks! Like
07:21
are you kidding me? Let's just
07:28
fit that back in there then. We'll put it in my brows anyway but it'll be done by the time I get
07:30
To brow two. Like honestly it's not
07:34
even that great of a pencil. It's definitely not giving me those nice little brow strokes, it's more just like
07:36
smudging in. I do really like the color though, the color isn't too warm not too cool, it's just a nice in-between
07:41
so "Universal", I feel like they probably got that right but like, that is like an
07:46
embarrassing small amount of product. All right now we're moving on to the face and we're gonna start with this Natasha Denona Prime
07:51
Lifting Primer. It is an anti-aging
07:57
serum and primer in one. It says here on the Sephora website that it's going
08:00
to increase the lasting power of your foundation, it's going to leave a semi matte finish, and it's going
08:03
to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles. And people seem to be like all over the place with their reviews of this.
08:08
Some people really love it and other people, they're like, "No thank you please."
08:14
Apparently it has like weird beads and stuff in it that sit on your face...
08:17
That doesn't sound good. It looks like this, and let's see about this texture thing. So it's a very thin, kind of milky consistency- OH
08:21
It does have beads in it! That's kind of weird. Alright well let's see if by massaging it into the skin it like
08:29
graininess. That's bizarre it's almost like grains of sand. I think it's smoothed out now, I don't
08:38
feel any like beads and stuff on there. I don't know what would make you think
08:43
when you're actually like testing this product before launching it, being like, "Hmm weird grainy texture and we don't talk about it in
08:48
Yeah let's do it. Let's make it a surprise!" For foundation today we are going to be using the one from Burberry, this is their
08:54
Glow Foundation and interestingly enough there's only two reviews on this foundation one is five-star and one is
09:01
One-star. *GASP* DRAMA
09:09
So the five-star one says it is one of Burberry's best foundations if you can basically find the shade that you're looking for.
09:12
It's fuller coverage than a bb cream, it's buildable, it
09:19
looks really nice on the skin, like this person is obsessed with that one. But it does oxidize a little bit, so that's good to
09:23
know because this one is looking a little bit light for me. And the person who rated a one-star says it's extremely
09:28
yellow, I guess they bought the same
09:32
like shade number as in another foundation that Burberry also has but it was too yellow. This person rated it a
09:34
one-star because they bought the wrong color? Do you know how many one-stars I could give because *I* bought the wrong color?
09:39
That is my doing, not the foundation. It's not really really
09:45
high coverage for sure. I do feel like I'm using a lot of this though. It's very smooth, it's very light, it doesn't have a scent
09:49
to it. It is definitely oxidizing on my skin, it's almost a little too dark now,
09:56
but I can fix that with a little neck bronze as I would normally do anyway. But in terms of the
10:01
consistency and what it looks like on the skin, like it's really pretty. A nice
10:06
medium coverage; you can still see your skin through it, it's not going to cover
10:10
everything, but it makes everything look even. Now onto concealer and I'm going to be using the Milk Makeup concealer. It is rated a
10:14
Three and a half star, it was the lowest rated one of ones I haven't actually tried myself. It has proprietary
10:22
technology...that sounds disgusting. Basically it has a bunch of ingredients in it that are gonna promote
10:30
brightness under the eyes, depuff, and smoother look of skin, provides medium coverage. It seems people feel like it's a little bit thick of
10:35
a consistency, and then one person says it's very dry and it pills under the eyes. The color seems to be like a good match for
10:42
It's definitely not full coverage, I feel like on days where I am experiencing a lot of
10:51
dark under-eye circles it's not gonna cover that very well, but it seems to be doing like a pretty pretty good job right now
10:56
heavier though, I feel like once i set this it's going to look very
11:04
very thick under my eye area, but we'll see. Next up we're actually gonna go in with a
11:09
blush, and this is sort of like a like a shimmery blush stick, this is from Bite Beauty it's their
11:13
Prismatic Multi Stick and it's one of the few products I haven't tested yet
11:20
that wasn't really well rated, and it seems based on the reviews that people,
11:24
when they apply it to the eyes, it has too much slip
11:28
to it and it just ends up creasing really really easily
11:31
I don't see a lot of like, negative reviews for applying it to the face. So the color I have is Pink Pearl so we're gonna
11:35
be using that one today. I'm just gonna draw it on
11:40
That is a nice sheen. It's definitely not very like blushy though, it definitely has a lot of slip which is great for blending
11:45
it out, I don't know how
11:51
well this is gonna dry and what this is gonna look like once I set my face, but the color is really pretty
11:53
More I would say I would use this as a highlight than an actual blush, but you know what? It's about
11:58
experimenting. So now we're gonna go on to a stick highlight, this is the new
12:04
Disco Stick. This is the holographic one from Urban Decay, and it says here it's gonna create an iridescent
12:07
multi-dimensional sheen that looks amazing on all skin tones for an intensely
12:12
holographic highlight. Oh
12:17
I'm so sad that they used holographic cuz I bet you anything that's what people are mad about. Oh, I was right. "False
12:19
advertising, this is
12:25
holographic!" And it seems like people are saying it is very glittery and pink.
12:29
Oh I see what they're talking about, yeah that is not even close to
12:33
holographic! Just a whole lot of like pinky sparkle, but let's try it as a highlight. Kind of has like a blue pink to it
12:37
Streaked on the face there. Once we blend it out, yep that's uh, that's pretty sparkly. Also
12:45
Just a heads up it is peeling off
12:51
some of my foundation so that's good. By the way do you love how I was like "Oh everyone's so obsessed about it not being
12:52
Holographic" and then I immediately go in like to be like "UGH!
12:58
this is just GLITTER." So now moving on to a powder, this is the Sephora Beauty Amplifier Smoothing
13:00
Translucent Setting Powder. And this is supposed to be an ultra fine, colorless powder that mattifies the skin, smoothes it out, and just
13:06
reduces the appearance of pores and fine lines. And the reviews are saying that it has a strong chemical smell,
13:12
a lot of flashback in photos, and it doesn't mattify at all
13:18
And it would make sense that it would create that sort of flashback effect because it's, it has
13:22
Silica in it so it's going to, when it reflects off light, it's going
13:27
not look as noticeable, fine lines and not look as noticeable, but that also means they're gonna get a nice white cast if you use
13:32
flash. I think this is supposed to be a dupe for the Makeup Forever
13:38
powder that looks identical to this like right down to the lid, and the one thing I don't like about that lid is that I
13:42
the powder in to kind of get it out, I have to keep it in here because there's like a big lump in the middle
13:49
of the lid. So is there like a scent to it?
OH it does have a scent, oh that's awful
13:55
I don't like that. It doesn't smell like Wish
13:59
*Inhales and chokes on powder*
14:02
Don't talk near the powder Rachael! Like it doesn't have the scent of the Wish makeup, that was awful, but it doesn't smell good
14:03
Hopefully it'll just like, dissipate once I apply it to my skin. So i'm just gonna use a little
14:10
fluffy brush to apply it underneath the eyes
14:14
Then we'll use a bigger fluffy brush to
14:17
apply it to the face. We'll see if it actually lasts all day though. And now onto another Natasha Denona product, this is the
14:20
Contour Sculpting Powder and this is in the shade Light
14:26
The reviews are kind of all over the place, a couple of people are, "like wow this is really good I really like it" and
14:29
other people are like "No pigment at all,
14:35
nothing showed up, I hated it." This is the shade right here, that is going to be a good color for my skin tone I
14:37
feel like. Let's just dive right in. So that's it on the skin right there like that's a good amount of contour for
14:42
me. So in applying it underneath the cheekbones there, like that's what we're working with
14:48
Like, it shows up, it's very light but it's supposed to be light. I want it to be light. Maybe the other shades
14:53
aren't that good but like this one is good for me. And now for lip color I'm gonna be trying one by Shu Uemura
15:00
this is in the shade Pink Vibe which looks so pretty online. And it's supposed to be a lip balm that offers
15:07
high color payoff with an incredible lightweight texture, very hydrating,
15:13
high-impact. And the reviews are basically saying that if you apply this
15:18
to dry lips it's just going
15:21
to sink into all those cracks in your lips and it doesn't last a long time
15:23
But it never said it was gonna last a long time, so I won't judge it on that, but i do want
15:27
to see it's gonna sit into the
15:31
creases and cracks in my lips. Oh that's bizarre, I took it out of the packaging
15:33
and expected to be able to open it, but there's like another level to it. Now I have to take off
15:37
this layer. Is they're gonna be like a lock to open the lid? It has a
15:41
click top which is interesting, I was expecting to like twist it to
15:45
turn up the color but, no, you have to click it, which is annoying. I don't like that. Let's see what the color looks like.
15:49
OH my gosh that's beautiful!
15:54
Okay, this is a very very messy gloss, that is the one thing about really really colorful glosses that don't last a long time is
15:56
they get EVERYWHERE. I can't seem to get like a good line in here.
16:03
It's just really really messy
16:10
That's a good look. So let's try and clean this up. Okay it does clean up fairly easily so that's good but I feel like
16:12
this is gonna be on my teeth like all day long and I'm gonna be super
16:18
self-conscious of that, so we'll just see how well it like adheres the lips and wears
16:22
throughout the day. And last but not least is a setting spray. This is by Coola it is an SPF 30
16:27
Makeup Setting Spray. By the way it has those balls that's gonna shake up the product a lot so it's VERY LOUD
16:32
It has organic ingredients in it to reduce shine, it has the UV protection,
16:39
make up lasting fresh all day. See what kind of a spray this one gives
16:42
Ah! That's kind of aggressive at first. People didn't like this because the online
16:48
description is inaccurate. It's marketed as a spray but the bottle says
16:53
to not- okay hold on. It says the Sephora website and the website marketed it as a "spray" but then the bottle says not
16:58
to spray it directly on your face and it has to be applied with the hands. WHAT???
17:06
OH my gosh, on here it says "Do not spray directly on the face,
17:10
spray on hands and apply to face" The only time that I forget to read the reviews first is the one time where it's really
17:13
important. Do you say what it does like is this not supposed to get my eye? Like now I'm freaking out. You can't have
17:19
A setting spray that you can't set and spray it on your face! And other people are saying that it has a very strong
17:24
alcohol smell to it, like I
17:29
*cough* now i get it.
17:33
Once it dissipates, you do not smell the alcohol at all but once you spray it immediately onto your hands, like it's very obvious
17:34
Sephora. girl. You need to fix that. So many people are gonna spray this on their face and it not supposed
17:42
to be! So that is the final look there I feel like we made it work but there are some definite products that I do
17:47
not like from this mix as well some that I do. So now I'm gonna go about my day, I'm going to see
17:52
how this makeup wears and then I will check in with you guys tonight.
17:56
Hey guys so it is now the end of the day and uh, this
17:59
is the mess that is my makeup right now. So I think it's safe to say that the mascara and also the liner
18:02
Don't hold up well. So that being the most obvious one is pretty awful
18:10
streaky glitter highlight is pink and very glittery. Although it could also be a mixture of the bite beauty
18:16
prismatic stick, whatever
18:22
It's it's been a long day
18:24
The lip product didn't hold up well like I found that the lip gloss was like showing up on my food and stuff
18:25
and I found that because I was trying to eat a sandwich I just kind of blotted it off a little bit of it just
18:30
lip gloss that I would end up eating, and then left behind like a really pretty pink stain which I wasn't expecting but it was
18:35
quite nice, it's worn off pretty patchy by now it is like
18:41
10:30 at night though. And the foundation was nice but I kind of want
18:45
To see how it works with other primers, so that is where we're at. So I'm gonna take off my raccoon eyes
18:49
and i'm gonna go to sleep. And that is everything for this video give it a big thumbs up if you enjoy these a
18:55
testing of products that are rated a certain level on the Sephora website or a drugstore or anything like that
19:00
Maybe i'll do like a five-star rated one from like the Ulta website or something like that next so let me know if you guys want
19:06
to see that and don't forget
19:11
to SUBSCRIBE
So you don't miss out on new videos every Tuesday,
19:12
Thursday, and Sunday and that is everything. I hope you guys are having an amazing amazing week so far and I'll see you guys all
