- How much time?
- You got four minutes.
- Ooh!
(laughs)
Oh my god. It's okay, we can make it as a contour.
(laughs)
- Hey guys, I'm Kristina Rodulfo, senior beauty editor
of Elle.com and this is Beauty Haul.
(electronic music)
Today we have Christen Dominique, makeup artist
turned YouTube sensation and now owner of her own
makeup line, Dominique Cosmetics.
(electronic music)
Christen, you have $150 budget and only half an hour
to shop the entire Sephora of Hudson Yards.
- Okay that makes me nervous. I love full coverage.
I take three hours to get ready but I think I can do this.
Something that's multi-purpose so cut down the time
and the cost so I got this.
- Are you ready?
- Let's go.
- Timer starts now.
(whistle blows)
(electronic music)
Alright Christen, so what is your first step?
- The first step is gonna be the eyeshadow pallet.
And I already know what I'm gonna choose
because this pallet is multi-purpose.
It's mine, it's from Dominique Cosmetics, right here.
- Okay, oh. Oh my god.
- So we grab this guy right here.
- And how much is that?
- $44.
- $44?
- Um it has, I can use it for the face too
so this is a good now I'm going to grab lips.
- Lips?
- So there is one more Dominique Cosmetics, lips.
I just have to figure out where they are.
- This is a new store too so I've actually never shopped
at this Sephora.
- No? Oh my goodness, if it's not here, we'll just move on.
- Well your time is ticking.
- Oh my god, perfect.
- Oh, oh my gosh.
- $18.
- Okay perfect,
- Now I'm gonna grab a blush bronzer pallet.
- So here we've got Urban Decay, we've got Tarte,
we've got Stellar.
(laughs)
- Ooh, okay it's gonna be $25, that's a lot.
(laughs)
Oh, lashes. Definitely need lashes.
I'm a glam girl.
- She's a glam girl.
- $10, perfect. I just need lash glue.
Where's the lash glue, lash glue?
Duo. $9.
- So you made a smart move.
- Yeah.
- This is Sephora Collection and everything
is much cheaper here.
- We're gonna need eye brushes for sure.
- Ooh. Alright you picked up a $20 brush.
- Oh shoot, are you serious?
- Yes.
- How much money do I have left?
- Alright, you have $69 left.
- Okay.
- And you've picked up a little bit of a haul
so maybe spend it on brushes or are you move on?
- I have to have brushes for my eyes.
(laughs)
- Fingers won't do?
- No. Fingers won't do.
- So you've got two brushes, an eyeshadow pallet,
a lipstick, lashes, and lash glue.
And that leaves you at $27 left.
- Okay.
- And you've got 26 minutes.
- I think I can find a face pallet.
- A face pallet?
- Under 20, I think.
- Alright.
- Let's try to figure this out.
- Let's find it.
- I'm gonna choose this pallet.
Oh my god, are you kidding me?
- Alright, it's out.
- I think it's impossible.
- Unless you wanna just use your hands
and you know, put a brush back or something else back.
- Okay, yeah, I think I'm gonna have to put a brush back
unfortunately.
- I'll take these from you
since you're not gonna be using them.
- Okay.
(laughs)
So stressful.
- So I know that this is all luxury brands.
- Oh my god, this is lips.
- Ooh, you're going to beauty on the fly.
- Yes, this is going to save my life.
- All the tiny-sized products.
- You can get a whole brush set for $20.
- Smart, smart.
- Yes. I'm gonna take a new lip liner, this is $6.
- Ooh, what about a setting powder?
- Setting powder?
Oh um, that sounds like an interesting idea
but I'm gonna focus on the eye, like the whole face.
- She can't be swayed.
- No, I can't. I'm all about the glam eyes.
We can go cheaper on the face.
- Really?
- Yeah.
- Okay, you have $43 and 21 minutes left
and you need a face pallet?
- A face pallet.
- What makes a good face pallet to you?
- Something that has a bronzer, blush, highlight
all in one.
- All in one?
- Yeah. That's under $43.
- And you can apply with your hands.
(laughs)
- Oh my god, if it has a brush in it, even better.
- Okay.
- Oh my gosh, $28. You can bronze and brighten
with this so I think we're gonna do this one.
- And it's $28?
- $28 is not bad. How much do I have now?
- You have $15 left.
- $15? I'm gonna try to find a brush for the face.
- Okay, we're back to the brushes.
(laughs)
That clock is ticking girl.
- I know, I know.
Oh there's a CC cream.
- IT Cosmetics CC cream.
- Oh, $15. Right on the money.
- So that is your entire budget.
- Is this everything?
Oh my gosh.
- So you're gonna have to let go of something
and get another brush or just use what you have.
- Okay, I'm gonna put this back.
- So you're dropping the Sephora contour pallet?
- Yes.
- Which means your $28 are back and now
what are you gonna do with that?
- Okay.
- Little baby TooFaced?
- Yes.
- Okay.
- A little matte one.
- Okay, so you still need a brush.
Anything you're finding here?
- I think we're gonna go with this one right here.
It's only $12.
- Oh.
- Or this one. This one's a bigger one.
- From Sephora Collection.
- We'll use that for bronzer and blush.
- Alright.
- I think I could do it with this.
- Okay, are you ready?
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- If you can keep all your products together.
- If I can keep it all together, I'm ready.
- Alright, let's go to the station.
- Yes, let's go.
I have to take my jacket off.
- Oh she's getting ready.
- Let's get glam. Okay can you help me open these up
to make time go faster?
- Okay sure.
- Oh my gosh.
- What's the fastest you've ever done your makeup in?
- Five minutes.
- Five minutes?
- Yeah.
- Alright.
- So I'm gonna start with the crease.
I'm gonna take Soft and Sweet.
Oh this is a pretty good brush.
- The fastest blending I've ever seen.
- The fastest blending techniques happening right now.
(laughs)
- My hand is--
- Your hand is shaking.
- It's shaking.
- Do you always do shadow on the bottom?
- Always, to tie the whole look together.
I'm gonna do Cherry Juice just because she's cute and new.
- It's like a little ball of smokey eye, right?
- Yeah. I'm gonna take Honey-Dipped.
- It's smart that you chose your own pallet
because you know the colors.
You know exactly what you're working with.
- I know what to do. Alright. We're done.
Now we're gonna do the lashes.
- Ooh, that's one that I forgot to open.
- Dup glue on deck. Oh my god.
(laughs)
- That is a giant glob of lash glue.
- Oh my god, yes it is.
It's really gonna stick to my eye so let's be positive.
(laughs)
So while that's drying, I'm gonna do my face.
And there's sponges, thank god.
- So you're using the sponges at the station.
- Yes.
(laughs)
- And this is the IT Cosmetics?
- This is an IT cosmetics CC cream.
- No one yet has attempted to do as full of a face as you.
- I can really do it. Here we go.
- I feel like I have to hold my breath a little bit.
- One side down, one to go.
I'm gonna take some bonzer.
- Ooh.
(laughs)
- Oh my god. It's okay, we can make it as a contour.
(laughs)
- You have seven minutes left.
- Okay.
- Oh, you're calm now.
- I'm good. This is a very nude color.
- Liquid lipstick.
- Liquid matte.
Okay now we need the blush.
Honestly I'm scared to use this brush.
But we're gonna do it.
- The same that you used to contour with.
- Yeah.
Okay now I'm gonna do a little bit of a line
so I'm gonna take Chocolate Mousse high up into the gap
right here.
How much time?
- You're got four minutes.
- What is this, can I use this stuff?
- You can use anything at the station, it's free.
- Oh my god, yes.
- So you mixed the water with the eyeshadow.
- Yup, I'm gonna take Blackberry
and use it on the lower lashes.
Because they need some love too.
How many seconds?
- 55 seconds.
And you're going back with a complexion product.
- Yeah.
(laughs)
- And your hands, and the free sponges.
- We're done.
- You had 23 seconds to spare so amazing job.
Full face is done.
- Yeah, I amazed myself today to be honest.
(laughs)
- That was crazy impressive.
You did it in about 15 minutes, a full face.
- Yeah.
- Completely different from when you walked in.
Where would you were this look?
- Grocery store, everywhere.
(laughs)
- Grocery store.
- Pick up my son from soccer practice, like everywhere.
