What's up everyone! Welcome back to my channel.
First of all, Happy Fucking New Year!
Now, this weekend I am going to upload my favorite beauty products
and my least favorite beauty products of 2016.
But I thought, you know what, let's start the new year off with a bang
and try out some crazy ass shit.
So, today I'm going to be trying a $12 primer against a $140 primer.
Yes, some brand thought they were slick enough to price a motherfucking primer that much.
So, I'm like, I think we should just dive right into it and if you want to see
what the hell these make-up brands are fucking up to, then keep on watching.
One of my favorite beauty sites is beautylish.com. Now they are one of my official retailers.
They ship worldwide and they have a bunch of amazing brands
like Anastasia, Sugarpill, Charlotte Tilbury, Natasha Denona.
They have a bunch of brands and I love shopping on their website.
I know that sounds like a shameless plug but I just, you know, I mean, come on,
if there's a website with good ass skincare and crazy make-up, you know my bitch ass is gonna be there.
So, I was scrolling through the website the other day and one of these brands, it's called BY TERRY,
they have a lot of expensive skincare and concealers and foundations so, I just bought a bunch of stuff,
but while I was browsing they have a new limited edition $140 primer.
I'm like,
girl, what in the hell is in here to make it that price point?
So, you know my bougie bitch ass, had to pick this up.
So, I'm going to do a little battle of the primers today.
I'm going to do one half of my face in the $140 and the other side, a $12 primer.
So, I went on Twitter, literally just a few minutes ago,
and I tweeted, "What's everyone's favorite drugstore primer?"
And I was literally on the way to Rite Aid. And if you don't know what Rite Aid is,
it is like a Walgreens, a CVS, type of drugstore here on the West Coast.
Do they have Rite Aid on the East Coast? I don't even know.
So, I asked everybody what I should get and you guys sent me so many recommendations,
like, oh my God, it was thousands and thousands of tweets.
And I picked up a few and one that you guys kept sending me was the L’Or?al Magic Perfecting Base.
I'm like, ooh, okay, a little pink black carton. By the way, you guys should know by now
that the Bobby Brown Vitamin Enriched Face Base is one of my tried and true for a long time.
And it reminded me of this because it looked like a mini version but by another brand.
So, I was definitely attracted to it. You guys were like going off, like you've got to go get that one.
So, I am going to put these to the test.
Now, I've never opened either of these before. I've never even tried them.
So, my skin right now is bare.
But, if you do notice along my lash line and maybe on my forehead and hairline
I still have bits of glitter from my full face using only glitter challenge,
which, I'm actually not mad at, because I'm looking in the viewfinder,
I'm like, oh, hi, lid, like, it's in my lashes. This shit is not coming out.
So, probably another month or two, maybe they'll float away.
But, yes, for everyone wondering, there's still glitter everywhere.
In my beauty room, the whole floor, help me.
Now, I am going to go over the L’Or?al one first. Now, this one was $12.99.
Now, this Magic Perfecting Base is supposed to, obviously, be a make-up primer.
It says, you can put under your eyes to smooth fine lines.
Okay. It says that, it's going to hide pores. It's going to vanish imperfections.
I'm like, okay girl, grrr.
It is silky, lightweight, it glides onto your skin leaving a velvety smooth to the touch feeling.
It is suitable for all skin types. It is demagogically tested and, okay, great.
It's time to open this up and see what she looks like.
So, the L’Or?al one comes in a little glass pot like this.
It feels glass. Is that plastic? Maybe it's hard plastic. Feels kinda....
So, it says, put this to use under any foundation.
I also forgot to mention that after I do both sides of my face,
I am going to use one foundation with a beauty blender and do my entire face
so we can tell, or see, if there's a difference.
Alright, so, back to the primer. This one has 0.5 fluid ounces in it.
The other one has 1.01 fluid ounces.
So, it is basically double the size. We'll unbox this in a second.
I am going to see if there's a fragrance.
Huh, not really, I'm going to touch it with my nail real quickly, like,
I'm just going to put it on the back of my hand.
Oh wow, it's like, very tacky. Holy, okay, ooh, that feels cool.
I'm like, oh my God. If feels very velvety. Okay packaging, you weren't lying.
Well, we'll see in a minute on my face.
Alright, I just used a little Burt's Bees make-up wipe to wipe that primer off my hands.
And now we're going to inbox… inbox… we’re going to embalm…
we’re unbox the BY TERRY primer. Now, this, why is it a (inaudible) you guys like,
expensive packaging, like draws me in, I'm like, hi, hi, hi.
Alright, so, this is called the Elixir De Perle.
It says a premier illuminating concentrate.
Alright, so, besides being limited edition this is a youthful radiance elixir.
This true premium concentrate luminosity, infused with precious fresh water pearls
and multi-reflection pigments reveals a perfecting ultra-smoothing rosy peaked pearlescent glow.
Fuck, that was a mouthful. I'm like I need to come up for some air.
Okay, so this is supposed to be used underneath your make-up.
So, let's take her out. The packaging's gorgeous, I just have to keep saying that. I'm like, hi.
Ooh, okay, so this is what she looks like. It comes in a glass jar as well.
Of course, as I mentioned, it is double the size as the L’Or?al one.
Now, it also comes with a little spatula, as a lot of high-end expensive skincare stuff does.
It basically is like for sanitary reasons, you kind of scoop it out with this instead of touching with your nails or fingers.
Okay, so this one has a little plastic,
I like to call it, the like, sanitary screen that you remove to get into there.
Ooh, okay, this one smells really fresh. It's kind of like, it just smells fresh.
Is that such a weird thing to say? It smells like floral sunscreen, kind of mixture.
Alright, let's get this hair back, let's get these curls fucking out of my way.
Okay, so, my right, which will be over here,
I'm going to do the L’Oreal drugstore primer. So, let's start.
And I'm going to stop right here. I'm literally going to go all the way up like the face and only do this side.
Okay, so already, I can tell that my face looks kind of blended, it really does.
Not going to lie. I'm like, okay, right.
Now, a little went a long way. I used two little nail scoops and she's laid.
Alright, now for the left side of my face I'm going to use the spatula.
Is this enough? We will see in a second.
I'm only going to use my left hand because the right side is tainted and I'm just going to dip this one around.
Now, don't try to say that I'm using more on this side because I'm definitely not.
I'm just spreading it with this because that's what it told me to do.
Alright, that side is on. Bam! Is there a difference?
Let's zoom in and take a look.
Okay, this side, you can see, is kind of like, definitely luminous.
It feels a little tacky as well, but in a different, almost like, not sticky.
I hate that word, because that sounds like, negative.
But it feels a little, like, come on foundation, work.
And then this one feels a little, oh, this feels nice, okay.
Now, only difference I'm noticing is that the BY TERRY one,
it's not a blurring one, it didn't claim to be, so it definitely did not blur.
I see a little shimmer over my skin, kind of living for that, because you guys know I'm a glowy ass bitch.
Alright, I guess, let's put these to the test and see which one makes our foundation look sickening.
So, I'm going to go in with one of my favorite foundations of all time. The Armani Luminous Silk, oh my God,
I mean, how many years have I been wearing this by now you all should know, this is one of the motherfucking best!
So, we are going to put her to the test, since I always use this,
I will definitely be able to tell a difference right away.
So, I'm going to use a damp beauty blender and just do a few pumps
and coat my entire face. So, let's see what happens.
Okay guys, let's bounce.
Alright, so I think it's only fair that we zoom in a little bit and see what the hell is going on.
Alright, so, let me zoom in on myself.
Let me zoom in with a mirror and let's see if there is any differences.
No, I'm not shocked but the mattifying side looks a little drier and
I don't want to say patchy, but like a little, just not like as amazing, I guess, as this side.
This side looks really, oh my God, looks stunning.
This side's not awful actually at all.
In the area that I really don't like my pores around here, if definitely minimized them.
Under the eyes looks pretty.
But yes, my fine lines are a little bit there. And on this side, the L’Or?al side,
there is zero fine lines so, hey, yes God.
Yeah, this side actually looks a little more hydrating though, which, I mean, give or take, right?
So, I'm going to do a little turn. A little side to side. Here is the $12 primer
and here is the $140 primer side.
Now I definitely think that the more luxurious primer, I look a little more hydrated.
A little more, like, I don't know, a little more cunt, a little more summery, a little more fresh.
The other side is definitely very matte and I actually like it.
And I think, honestly, for the price point, this one is awesome because
all you have to do is really add a little bit more moisturizer before you put this on.
Or even mix, like, I kind of want to do for a next video, just on a tutorial,
is to put this first and then this and see what happens. I'm kind of curious to do that.
So, I guess, let's give our final thoughts and our final review.
Okay, so I did not expect this to happen, you guys. I am torn.
Like, oh, I'm like, I'm kind of mad, I'm like, okay, is the BY TERRY Primer Jeffree Star approved
or is the L’Or?al Magic Perfecting Base Jeffree Star approved.
I'm going to shock you all. Drum roll.
They're both Jeffree Star approved primers. There was not a lot of cons really for either.
They both looked great. I'm just looking back and forth.
I don't know, I mean, maybe because it's the first time I've used both of them, I'm not, like, in love dying.
I think they definitely need a few more tests under other foundations and in tutorials
to see how they are going to, you know, of course, wear and tear throughout the day, you guys.
But yeah, I'm like shocked here. I'm a little confused. I don't hate either one of them.
I'm like, sorry guys, today they're kind of both approved.
So, hey. I wish there was more excitement. I wish one of them flopped really hard, because I am shocked.
But, shout out to both brands. I think these are definitely fun.
Now, of course, you guys all know, this one, I know a lot of you are going to roll your eyes, like,
Bitch, that was not good enough for $140
and I'm not actually mad at you because I kind of agree with you.
But it was fun to try and I'm definitely going to be wearing it under future tutorials
and future looks and see how it compares to my favorite gold primer and everything else.
Alright, I think that is it. Fuck, I don't want to leave you guys.
If there are any more new products or anything that you guys want me to try,
of course, leave some feedback in the comments down below.
And let me know what you guys think. Like, did you see a difference between the right or the left side?
Give me your honest, real thoughts, because you guys always see it better than I do.
But, alright, mwah, I love you guys and I will see you on the next one.
Bye guys.
