Hello Girlfriends and welcome to another episode of Tried and Tested! Today we'll be trying
out some top-rated drugstore makeup under $20. This lipstick from Catrice is made for
people with dry lips, like me! Formula is supposed to be very smooth, it's hydrating,
and it's creamy, and also very long lasting. That smells nice! It's sweet and fruity. Oh,
that's very creamy. This is a beautiful colour. It's a bit mauve-y, it's got plum, berry and
a bit of red in there, and also a bit more on the purple side. The colour is pigmented.
There is so much colour in this lipstick. It's really beautiful, it's very very comfortable,
as you can see it's got a slightly glossy sheen, so it makes my lips look full. It's
very easy to get a precise application, but what I'm noticing is that around my lips,
it's kind of almost bleeding a bit? It's something that you can only really see up close, so
if it doesn't bug you, then it's not an issue. I feel like maybe if you use a lip liner,
or if you just clean it up with concealer or something, I think that shouldn't be a
problem. I would give this a 9 out of 10. This is Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation,
and it's said to be a dupe for YSL's Fusion Ink Foundation. And it's supposed to also
have light adjusting complex inside, so that it prevents a white cast when you take photos.
I want to say first, that this is probably not my colour. I'm currently wearing YSL's
All Hours Foundation mixed together with Marc Jacobs Shameless Foundation. I am going to
remove makeup on this side and try on the Wet n Wild foundation, and we'll just see
how it looks. It's kind of the same as the YSL foundation in that there's an applicator
like this. Wow, that texture is so fluid! It is definitely the wrong colour, but it's
ok, we're going to ignore that and just focus on the foundation. When I first put it on,
wow, it was so liquid-y. It was really easy to blend. So we took some photos with flash
on both sides, and the verdict there is that - no white cast on either side. The one with
the Wet n Wild foundation definitely looks fairer but that's because it's the wrong shade.
But the one thing that I did notice about the Wet n Wild foundation was that it's actually
really quite patchy. I think I would give this a 5 out of 10. Because I guess it covers
stuff, you don't get the white cast, but it's not a very forgiving foundation. This is the
LB Smudge Gel Eyeliner in Jet Black. LB Cosmetic is from Tokyo and they are a brand that is
known for their eyeliners. So this is a gel eyeliner that's supposedly applies like a
liquid eyeliner and it's supposed to be sweat proof, waterproof, tear proof and sebum proof,
making a beautiful line that last until evening without smudging or wearing off. Pretty basic
packaging. It feels really light, and it looks like a regular eye pencil. The application
on this is really incredibly smooth, like very very smooth. It almost feels a bit oily.
It says Jet Black but I actually didn't think that the color was very very black, so I had
to go over a couple of times to make sure that it became the black that I wanted it
to be. We'll leave it on for the rest of the episode and see how it does in terms of the
smudging and the sebum. It's been a couple of hours now, and my eyeliner has not smudged
at all. Even the areas slightly around it, it feels like it's holding quite well. I tried
it on just now, and look! Wow! Completely not budging at all! I think I would give this
a 9 out of 10, because it holds really well, applies very smoothly, the only thing is that
it's not Jet Black as it claims to be. Earlier on in the cult favourite beauty products episode,
we tried Nars Orgasm and this is the Milani Baked Blush on Dolche Pink. It's supposed
to be one of the dupes for Nars Orgasm. The color is super pretty. A pretty bright pink
with lots of gold flecks in it. Color payoff is not bad! Oh, that's beautiful! It applies
so nicely. Maybe slightly powdery, but very minimal and I love the gold flecks in it!
The way it catches light is so pretty. I would give this a 9 out of 10. And since I have
the Nars Orgasm with me, let's just try it out and see how it looks. I feel that the
Milani one, it feels like it's warmer tone. If you look at the Nars one, I feel like the
pink kinda comes across as cool tone, but then you've got the gold that gives it a slightly
warmer feel, so you have a mixture of cool and warm, which is why I think it's such a
beautiful universal colour, whereas this Milani one would be I feel, more decidedly on the
warm side. I do still think that the Milani one is a beautiful blush. This is the MegaGlo
Highlighting powder from Wet n Wild and this is a holy grail makeup product for a lot of
makeup fans, and they come in a whole range of colours, but most people recommended Precious
Petals. It's so buttery. Oh, that applies so smoothly! It is a beautiful highlighter.
It's truly gorgeous. It looks really refined and the texture is so silky that it blends
right into the skin. Wow. This is so good! The highlighting strength is strong. I feel
that when I use my fingers to apply, it comes off a little bit patchy, so I'm going to try
it with a brush. Yes, mummy! It's got just the right amount of champagne in here. It's
a really really refined powder, especially at this price point. I think it applies so
beautifully and it catches light really nicely. It seems like quite a universal shade as well.
Cause it's got a mix of cool and warm. We got this for $11. I think that is insane.
It is so good. I would give this a 10 out of 10. Precious. It's precious out of 10.
This is Palladio pressed rice paper and it is an oil absorbing blotting tissue with rice
powder. I love the packaging, by the way. A lot of the old school cosmetics used to
have a woman like that on their packaging. It says it's super sized, so it's a pretty
big piece of paper. And it actually looks a bit like old jotter books we used to have,
the brown color paper. Smells quite - slightly flowery and fragrant. So one side is your
regular blotting paper, and on the other side, you have your powder for touching up. And
the unique thing about this is that it's made from rice! So as you can see, my nose here
is quite shiny. I'm going to try blot it. This powder really does take away the shine.
It doesn't leave a powdery finish behind. So the blotting paper is slightly stiff. It
does feel like you kind of are taking paper and pressing it, which is a bit strange. I
think it is interesting because it does feel a little bit rough on your skin, just because
it's paper, it's literally blotting paper. I would give this a 7.5 out of 10. The thing
with the powder is that they only come in 3 shades, but the powder is really effective
in taking off the shine. Ok! We've v\come to the end of the episode. If you want to
