Hello Girlfriends and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested.
Today we are going to be trying out some makeup lines that were started by,
or fronted by celebrities.
If you noticed, my eyes are a little bit red,
I think I had a slightly allergic reaction to some makeup,
but do kindly ignore that!
So Jennifer Lopez's makeup collection is in collaboration with Inglot Cosmetics.
This is Livin' The Highlight. That's quite funny, like living the high life, Livin' The Highlight.
It's an illuminator for face, eyes, body. It's a loose powder and it comes in two shade.
Let's see if it gives me the J LO glow.
I'm a bit scared to use it. Why is it so sparkly?
Personally, I'm not into the super glittery illuminators or highlighters.
When I first looked at this, it looks like a Christmas edition highlighter.
Because if it's a Christmas edition highlighter, I'll be like, "WOW! It's so pretty!"
But it doesn't feel like an everyday highlighter to me.
But let's just try and see how that looks.
There's a chunkier silver glitter that's very obvious,
and then you have the slightly bronzier one that has finer particles that kinda blends right in.
I feel that the particles are not very refined.
But then at the same time, I also feel that this would work really well on stage,
because you would have that bronzy gold skin,
but at the same time the bigger sliver flecks will really catch the light gorgeously.
I feel like up close, I'm not really feeling the texture.
It doesn't blend very well, kinda just a bit chalky,
sits on the skin and doesn't look very refined.
I would give this maybe a 5 out of 10.
This is from Flower by Drew Barrymore and it's the Beauty Flash Full Face Palette.
So you're able to do your entire face with this palette.
You've got 3 blend-able eyeshadows that are designed to take your looks from day to night,
you have 2 rosy tone blushes to give you that perfect amount of pop,
and also you have a bronzer and a highlighter to finish off the look.
This is my own palette, because I got it that time when I was in the states, and...
It just fell out. I don't understand. The whole thing just fell out.
I remember I saw the tester and the same thing happened and I went
"Aiyah, it's just wear and tear, because everyone is trying this out,"
so I fully did not expect this to happen to my palette.
What I really loved about this palette are these 2 eyeshadows.
I find the color, like they say, is really universally flattering
and also, very pigmented. Sometimes, if I really am in a bit of a pinch,
I will use this for contouring. This is the other eyeshadow that I do like.
So actually you could use either of these alone, or together.
This eyeshadow I don't like. I find this one a little bit chalky, the color payoff is not good and it just takes away from the whole look.
I like that they provided 2 different colors of blushes
because you can really mix and match to create the pop that you want.
So overall I really do like this palette, just this eyeshadow and the highlighter
I find don't really do much for me.
The rest I feel you can mix around and play and kind of like create different eye looks.
So is it a full face palette? I would say no.
In terms of the pigment and how well it blends, I still think it's preatty alright,
so I can still do a 6.5.
This is the revolutionary Zoom-In Ultimate Mascara from Flower by Drew Barrymore
and this is very interesting because of the brush!
This brush has 3 different settings in 1 brush.
The first setting is to lengthen, and then you twist it,
and it's supposed to volumnise, and then you twist it again
and you can curl and lift.
There are 3 settings but I only have 2 eyes,
so I'm going to do number 1 and number 3.
Let's try the lengthening one first, which is number 1.
I don't know if it's lengthening really, it's kind of just coating it in a nice, thin, even, black coat,
but very very very thin.
This is so natural, like if you want your eyelashes to be incredibly natural, I think this is great.
Ok so now, let's turn it to the curl and lift and we see how that does,
which is the 3rd setting.
Ok, there's not much going on here either.
I feel like I don't know if it's because my eyelashes are very short.
On the 3rd setting, it does seem to deposit more product,
so my eyelashes do look a little bit blacker and a little bit thicker,
but very marginally. I feel that maybe the bristles are too far apart to catch my lashes well,
so I don't feel like it's really doing anything much for me.
So I'm going to pass on giving this a rating.
This is the Truly Kissable Lip Crayon from Honest Beauty by Jessica Alba.
Honest Beauty is a makeup line that is free of parabens, synthetic materials, mineral oils and other icky stuffs.
So this one is in Marsala Kiss and it is demi matte.
This is one of their more popular products
I'm looking at the color thinking "That is gorgeous! So pretty!"
They are all either too brown, too plum, too pink, too something.
Oh, that's so smooth! That's a beautiful color!
Oh it smells quite nice too! Fruity.
It glides so easily, the formula is very lightweight.
It's almost like a cream gel texture? It feels like that to me and I get why it's a demi matte,
because this is like a cream lipstick but it's got a very balmy texture.
This doesn't feel heavy and thick like a cream lipstick but the color is very much like a cream lipstick,
and it does give you more coverage than say an opaque gloss.
I mean, I don't know what I don't like about this so I will give this a 10 out of 10.
This is the Truly Lush Mascara + Lash Primer.
On this side, you have the lash primer.
Oh, so cute! So Small. And on the other side, you have the mascara.
The bristles on this are specially molded so that they can pick up every lash and give it dramatic definition without clumping.
So you need to prime it first, leave it for 30 seconds and then put on your mascara.
When I first looked at it I was expecting fibres instead,
but this does feel like mascara.
Now it's time to apply the mascara itself.
Oh wow. I'm quite impressed with this brush! It really is gripping.
It's not massively clumpy but it's not completely not clumpy either.
I find this mascara to be alright.
I will say I love this brush. The brush feels so good because the bristles are so tiny.
I was wondering if it'll be able to catch anything at all but they just grab!
It's like they get a solid grip on your lashes so you really feel like it's going.
But there's something about the effect that makes everything look clumpy.
Each individual lash just looks uneven all the way, so the overall effect is a very clumpy looking set of lashes.
So I'm not quite feeling this mascara apart from the brush,
so I will give this maybe a 6 out of 10.
So this one is Fenty Beauty.
We actually considered dropping it because we covered it in an earlier episode,
but then we feel that you cannot do a celeb beauty episode without covering Fenty by Rihanna,
which is really one of the most amazing makeup lines out there.
This is the Soft Matte Pro Filter Instant Retouch Primer.
Packaging, packaging, beautiful!
This is very soft, it's light, it's almost like a gel, absorbs very quickly into the skin
and I feel like it really helps to hold your makeup for a very long time.
When you have it on, it kinds of diffuses the light very softly across the skin like a filter.
I think this is a really great primer, I would give this a 10 out of 10.
On the earlier episode, you'll see that I actually mix this with my Cover FX
or with my foundation to kind of play around with the texture a little bit.
This is Match Stix from Fenty Beauty and the shade is Amber.
This is also one of my favourite things, we featured it in the earlier episode.
I like this one because it's like a grey taupe-ish color and I use this for contouring.
And I like it because it's very hard to find grey taupes
because a lot of them are brown and the thing with brown contours is that,
on my skin, sometimes it just look very dirty.
So this looks more like a shadow.
Apparently it has been selling out, so good luck if you want to find this.
Because it is really the best!
I have not contoured my nose today, so let's do that!
And I like that even though it is such a fat stick,
it's still not too difficult to get into corners.
The texture is slightly on the more matte side,
so for some people it might not work for you.
Your skin really needs to be quite hydrated.
It blends super easily. It's really like crayon.
My favourite thing about it is really the color.
And I like the packaging also! It's so cute and it's so easy to chuck into your makeup bag and bring around.
It's pretty indestructible.
I think something else that is really cool about Fenty is that they have so many different colours
to cater to so many different types of skin tones.
And the way that they did it, I feel like it kinda made the other brands also step up their game and go like
"Ok, we're going to offer a whole lot more shades."
Ratings (for this) 10, 10. 10 out of 10, 10!
This rose mist contains mineral rich water which helps to condition and also rejuvenate the skin.
I love this also because of the spray.
Did you see how that mist just goes everywhere?
And I really feel that it helps me to balance my skin.
The scent is damascus rose, which is a bit like a rose scent,
but slightly earthier, not too flowery.
It makes everything smells so good.
Apparently Madonna has this all over her house.
Like in every room, and she goes around and she sprays it.
But it's actually quite expensive so I won't go around spraying it in the room.
But she's Madonna she can do whatever she wants.
I use this when I travel especially on the plane, or when my skin feels very dry,
or feeling very tired. It feels that it moisturises my skin even though it's very light.
So the way this dispenses the spray, I love it because it kind of
spreads over a wide area and very evenly, and very lightly.
So you don't get a *pssst*, you know, like in one area and then you have to spread it all over the place,
so it's very easy for you to touch up over the day.
Well, I mean, I love this so I will give this a 10 out of 10.
And with that, we have come to the end of the episode.
