I like how upfront and informative you are, you don't just finger swatch and look at the packaging and decide you like it, you actually research and make your informed decision.
Thank you for being real about it & not basically essentially try to use my name for drama like others have unfortunately, but this is the internet and thats usually how it works lol. It sucks how it went down, especially seeing as though people don't realize that JP and I had an agreement made a month prior (on a video) because I was an affiliate lol, so it was such a massive misunderstanding & I def own up to not handling shit properly lmao & I've learned. Overall it was all just a hot ass mess, but I'll never discredit JP for having some bomb products (& I didn't throughout the entire shenanigans). Oh & I am in the Bay too!! Ayeee lol
Hey girl! I don't think you have a mean bone in your body, I think you are very talented & sweet. I think your sweetness just made you sad about what happened & it felt personal. I totally get it. When the owner DMed me, I did say I was going to bring the situation up, & she did tell me she was very sorry for the way it went down as well. It sounded like she was just super busy, overwhelmed & out of patience. I hope you guys can one day sort it out. Let me know anytime you are up in the city if you want to grab a drink :)
Yeah I'm a huge baby 😂 that's one thing I am is extremely sensitive so I took the situation way out of hand lol but you live and you learn! And yes the owner and I spoke, it was just a tad frustrating because she said she was going to be making a statement explaining the mishap & telling people what I was essentially trying to tell them the whole time (that I'm an affiliate and we had an agreement), but it honestly felt like me being in the hot seat turned into financial gain (as well as buzz) for them so they never really got around to it, so everything is kind of still left unsettled which sucks, but moving forward I know not to publicize what's going on with brands & I on SM, terrible idea lol.
I think it would be amazing if you did a top 5 inexpensive and top 5 high end pallete video! So I can know my money is going towards something I will not regret! And while your videos are lengthy I feel as though you do not "talk a lot" as you said. Because you stick to the subject and don't go off topic like most youtubers. So I feel no need to skip!
I honesty think you do the most amazing reviews on TH-cam you are so detailed. Your channel is one of the best/most refreshing channel Iv found in a long time! 💕🙌🏼
How sad is it that when youtubers have been involved in so many shady collaborations that somehow always end up with them always being unaware and victimized that when they finally say that a plan eyeshadow palette is s good no one will believe them anymore . I wasn't buying into the juvias place hype up until I saw your review, I love that these are actually good it just sucks that's you don't know what to really believe anymore when they constantly hype up every single thing . But continue to be real Stephanie I would actually really love to see a collab with you and thrift thick (Cassie ) and Emily Noel .
i was really turned off of thrift thick when she was so childish after she didnt win tati's thing. like she refused to get over the fact that she didnt win
I love Emily! Her and steph both are honest and don't bs reviews for money or promotions. If you don't watch her vids already Stephanie I really recommend her!
Once I start to see all these videos of the same pallette back to back saying how great the product is I know that it's not an honest opinion and that they received the product for free or are getting paid for their review.
i do not use makeup, i will never use makeup, none of this knowledge is ever going to be used in my life yet i still love these videos just because of how professional you are and how calming your voice is. its really a stress reliever !!
The insane detail in your review videos is so refreshing and helpful. I also watched two other reviews of this palette (I think just the Nubian one) and nobody mentioned that they were created by and for people of color (or at least in mind). Great to see YT artists putting themselves in others' shoes. I'm a pretty new subscriber and this video has solidified my standing.
Stephanie, I hope I don't sound like an annoying fan-girl, and if I do I apologize lol I just wanted to also thank you for reviewing and recommending the Wayne Goss brushes. I bought all of them and I LOVE them! Beign in my 30's I was so used to taking care of my problematic skin and doing my makeup a certain way that I never imagined the importance and huge difference that using quality brushes, skincare products and makeup would make. I am experiencing skincare and makeup in a whole new way now because of your videos, and for that I am immensely greatful! I have always loved makeup but now that my skin has changed so much for the better, I am learning that makeup should be used to accentuate your natural beauty instead of using it to cover up what you are unhappy with. I wish I would've discovered this sooner rather than now that I am 36, but I guess it's better late than never right?! Sorry for the long message. I completely understand if you don't have time to respond but I just wanted to let you know how greatful I am for the information you share through your TH-cam videos and how much you have positively impacted my life. 😊 I wish you nothing but the best in your personal life and much continued success in your TH-cam channel! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you! -Liliana 👸💗
SodaPopJX lol I know right ? we can't trust the huge TH-camrs anymore which sucks.. because we think they'll be honest with the amount of people who love them so of course most will believe they can trust them but they fail you all the time the only big TH-camr I trust is Tati I love her videos she has helped me know what drugstore items to buy because I personally dont only buy high end and Tati I trust so much on drugstore makeup also high end but mainly drugstore stuff her and Stephanie and TotalMakeUpJunkie101 and BARE I love so much I can always go to them when I want to get a new product
The new intro is so sick. I don't think it needs any makeup shots (it was mentioned on IG), it's perfect the way it is. It didn't feel like it was long at all. Great job!
Words can't describe how much I love your videos, your channel, and you as a person. I've never come across reviews that are so thorough, so informative, and so honest! Thank you so much Stephanie!! Before purchasing any new makeup, I always make sure to check if you have a review on it. Thank you for helping me make such informed decisions about my makeup purchases and helping me spend my money more wisely :) Much love xx
I don't think you know the potential of your channel. You are truly a makeup lovers dream, and you truly help us consumers re-evaluate our purchases. You are so thorough and you say it how it is. What means the most is that you come across as a genuine person. Don't ever let anyone interfere with that. If and when you do a sponsored video, we will know it's because you actually believe in that product. I actually can't wait for you to promote a brand because I will actually know it's genuine! I look forward to your TH-cam career. It is more promising than you realise. Have followed you since 12,000, (someone on makeupalley mentioned you so I clicked the link! And I will follow you through many more xxxxx) P.S I want 1 of those palettes. Too bad I am in Australia.
I love how absolutely intricate you get with your analysis, all the way down to how you swatch things and how much a palette costs per gram! That's amazing. I just really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
YESSSS. I'm so glad you made this review and I'm so glad the products look amazing. I've been dying to purchase these palettes but I wanted to wait until you reviewed them first. I love how you're one of the few reviewers who swatch with a finger as well as with a brush because I don't think people realize the difference that the oil in your fingers can make in relation to pigmentation. Thanks so much!!
& thank you for always being so honest and real. It's hard to find that in TH-camrs, but you've always kept it 100. You're the best! Because of your review I'm gonna go purchase the Nubian 2 :)
Bruh... u r so much better than other makeup "gurus". U give so much helpful information these other people will be like "yep here's the palette here's a look I did with it thanks for watching!!". Ur reviews save lives 1!1!1!1!!!!1!1!!
Can you do a review on LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs? Like their Supernatural palette or any of their other eyeshadows? I really want your opinion before I purchase ^-^
Until Stephanie does a review, you might want to check out Kimberly Clark's videos. She did a couple of videos discussing their products. I know she's a fan of them, and her reviews are very unbiased and similar to Stephanie's in my opinion!
Okay. Thank you for being you, Stephanie!!! "Don't be a skidmark, be cool." 😂 And thank you for acknowledging the lack of representation for us darker skinned gals. 😙 You make makeup fun again.
i bought all three, largely based on this review and by doing some general research - i could not be happier! they're my first proper eyeshadows, not just 'drug store ones', having mainly used NYX beforehand, let me tell you, the pigment and blendability and colour pay off on these is out of this world..
Her videos are incredibely resourceful it's crazy!!! They're nicely put together and they could easily be used for didactic purposes!! She's such an honest and genuine reviewer with not 1 mg of fakeness in her
I don't get why people get so butthurt over the shipping time. I live in Switzerland and it takes some companies about 20 working days to get to me and if it takes a bit longer, I honestly don't care, AS LONG AS it arrives at some point.
I can only speak for myself, but I live in Toronto. On their website, it's stated that their shipment affiliation (DHL) takes 2 days to be delivered to Canada. It took me almost a month to receive my product, and that was after notifying them consistently through email and DMs on Instagram. I had a trip to go on, so I planned my purchase accordingly, and I wanted it prior to my trip, which didn't happen. It was a constant back and forth with customer service. They would update their IG page and I would read comments of people stating they made a purchase and received it in an appropriate time. I do like the palette I got, but it's definitely the last time I buy from them.
nythebest1 I haven't bought from the company so I don't know if you can see where your shipping is but it's annoying that you had to go through that. I would never really buy something from a foreign company and then expect it to arrive on time.
You give the BEST reviews on TH-cam hands DOWN! I value your opinion so much you have no idea. You touch on some many aspects while still remaining unbiased and honest. You are amazing.
You are my absolute favorite beauty youtuber! You ALWAYS have such honest, detailed, and fair reviews. You have become my "go to" for honest reviews and I appreciate your realness SO much and ts becoming increasingly rare in the beauty commuity! Keep up the awesome work!!!
in love with this video. the intro, the way the swatches are filmed/lighted, your lighting, everything is on point. I love how honest you are, and how you give a cost and ingredient breakdown. you are so informative. keep up the good work Stephanie! thank you!!
I live in SF too and the intro makes me sooo happy. When I found out you also live in SF I was so ecstatic that one of my fav youtubers is in one of my favorite cities.
Sophia Passin people were flipping out over jeffrees shipping being slow too. it happened to me where it took weeks. I didn't care as long as I got it.
I'm late on this video, but I HAVE to tell just how much I love your videos. You have a very VIRGO touch as far as quality. They are just packed with so much useful info without the fluff, honest and unbiased, and so much admirable attention to detail. Being a virgo, I know 'enjoy' a certain amount of perfectionism lol which makes me really appreciate all of your videos. I said to myself, if I was a TH-camr, this is how I'd like it done, you are absolutely tops! Sorry for the winded gushing, I just had to say that, you gained a superfan!
1. I love your new intro 😁 2. It was so cute when you smacked Keegan's butt and smiled at the camera ☺️ 3. These shadows are so beautiful I'm starting to wonder why I don't wear eyeshadow 🤔 4. We're going to need a tutorial on this look 😍
At this point in time I would literally not buy a PAPER CLIP unless you discussed the consistency of the formula, cautioned me about any controversial ingredients, educated me on where and who this this paper clip was manufactured by, ran down the price per gram of paperclip across several different brands of paper clips, and then thoroughly analyzed how each paper clip performed across a variety of conditions. Only then would I feel well-informed enough to make the decision to buy it or not. 😂😂 On a serious note, thank you so much for teaching us to be smart consumers. I know where/how far my money is going, and how it is working for ME!! Much love
You are absolutely one of my fave TH-camrs because of how chill and honest you are! I love watching your videos prior to buying products just to save me some money. Even though there are some reviews I do not entirely agree with, I still enjoy listening to your opinions. It helps me understand what to look out for when I'm purchasing new products rather than following the hype. Keep doing what you do!
When I clicked on the video an ad for "Rob & Chyna" came on and then your intro began and I thought I clicked on the Rob&Chyna video or something because that's how amazing/professional the intro was!
I'd just like to say thank you for all the information that you put into your videos. Today I learnt that ferric ferrocyanide is the ingredient I'm sensitive to in the one urban decay eyeliner that makes my eyes water when I wear it. Using the information I've learnt from you about the ingredients in products, their order and how to find them, I've compared the ingredient lists for all my favourite eyeliners, and it turns out that ferric ferrocyanide is the only ingredient that doesn't appear in any of the others (in a similar quantity). So thank you :)
The Nubian 2 palette is so beautiful! The third color on the first row is a beautiful highlighter color if you're dark skinned, and the blue is a beautiful lower line color!!! And these are so pigmented?!!
Literally the first time a youtuber has sold me on a palette I'd never heard about. Will definitely be getting the Nubian 2! Thanks and well done Stef, I think everyone here really appreciates the work you put into your videos xx
So, I now have all three of these palettes, and I LOVE them! I believe that you could achieve ANY look you could possibly imagine with these three palettes. The formula is wonderful, and the colors stay so true on the skin it is just unbelievable! The original Nubian palette puts the Urban Decay Naked palettes to shame in my opinion. I don't use any glitter glue (just Too Faced Shadow Insurance) with any of these and have not experienced any fall-out (which is a good thing because I have been putting my eyes on last for more than 50 years and am in not inclined to change that :) ). I am just so pleased with these palettes. I have very pale skin, and these colors work beautifully for me. Thank you Juvia's Place for creating the perfect palettes!
I thought I was watching a commercial for a movie with the intro, it's very professional and very clean and classy. Love your videos as always, you inspire me to be as thorough and professional in my everyday life.
You're seriously makeup goals, I can't even get my eyeliner to get even properly in the morning. But I really like how you are very honest with your reviews and your disclaimers as well. I am just starting to get into makeup after 20 years of living and I really rely on other people's recommendations and some experimentation to navigate my way through all these brands. I have a question though, do you know any makeup brands that are organic/vegan? I have very sensitive skin, especially around the eyes and I'm not very keen on putting harsh chemicals around my eyes whenever I want to put on makeup. Thank you and I love your videos!
We have ALL been there. I look back at photos and am embarrassed I was even allowed out in public. I have really sensitive skin as well and only buy cruelty free makeup. I do try to buy vegan when possible, but not everything I purchase is vegan. I really enjoy the Makeup Geek, Tarte, and Anastasia Beverly Hills products a lot. Most of the Makeup Geek products are vegan and they note if it is/isn't. Just remember vegan or organic doesn't mean chemical free. I believe Tarte makes such notations as well.
PandaLuver1996- It's key to figure out what you are sensitive to. Just because something is organic or vegan, doesn't mean you'll tolerate it. Keep a log and you can pinpoint what's causing issues and investigate ingredients to connect the dots.
PandaLuver1996 pacifica, red apple lipstick, 100 percent pure, gabriel cosmetics/zuzu luxe, dusty girls, mineral fusion, these are all cruelty free and vegan :)
You are absolutely boss at reviews! The research, details and honesty completely blows all other reviews out of the water. It has made me realise sooooo many people have no idea what they are talking about. So happy I found your channel 👌
YASSSS like when I first discovered her channel I was like she hates everything bruh lmaoo but now I value her opinion so much and I'm really interested on what she likes
See girl, this is why I will ALWAYS be HERE for you!!!! I love the way you present your videos. Always well spoken, informative and REAL! I check your channel whenever I’m ready to but something I haven’t tried!
I somewhat work (mostly on the business side of my company, but sometimes handle some customer service complains) in customer service as well, and the consumer mentality is so extremely demanding these days, it's completely ridiculous. I work at a small company, and people expect us to be like Amazon, or Nordstrom. I laugh daily from some of the e-mails we get from customers DEMANDING things from us. People need to chill the fuck out. As a consumer, you will get much better service if you are nice about an issue, than if you come off as rude from the beginning. It's just common sense, and proper etiquette. Even I am more inclined to help nicer customers, than rude ones. I can decide to concede the request or not, merely depending on who the customer is, or how they are addressing their complaint. Trust me, I've told several customers to fuck off (not in those words, obviously LOL,) for rudely complaining about something, and have given respectful customer what they wanted (or even more), for the same complaint. Big companies don't give a shit, because they have money to burn. But people need to realize that in general, you will receive what you give. Meaning, if you're shitty, it's pretty likely someone will be shitty back to you. P.S. Love the new intro! It's beautiful. You can definitely tell that a lot of hard work went into it. XOXO
Just want you all to know while people shouldn't be jerks to you, you do lose customers this way. I bought a lipstick from an indie brand that fell out of the tube onto the floor right when I opened it. I examined the bullet and saw it was much too slim for the casing and took pictures. I sent an email to the company customer service asking for a replacement because I believed my product was faulty and they basically told me to f*** off and that it was my fault it fell on the floor. I had bought several lipsticks from them in the past but never again.
Sarah S. It seems like your complaint was pretty legitimate. My company is a retailer for name-brand products, so we aren't an indie brand/company. I don't know what types of business operation they have at those types of companies. But, what I was actually referring to was customers that have ridiculous complaints/expectations. For example: customers that complain that USPS was delayed due to weather conditions, and EXPECT/DEMAND a refund for shipping costs. Something as out of our control as weather conditions! If customers don't realize that the snow in their area delays the postal services due to road closures, they probably shouldn't be ordering online for things they need immediately. It's not unheard of that we do give refunds for such instances, depending on how long it's been since we shipped the product(s), etc. But it's at my discretion which customer I choose to give a refund to. Most likely, rude/entitled customers do not receive refunds. Legitimate complaints are handled accordingly. Even for rude/entitled customers. Or else, that's bad business practice. My point is that big companies like Amazon, or Nordstrom give customers anything they want. Refunds for any complaint, or receive returns for worn/damaged items. Small companies don't have those types of luxuries, and customers expect it. That's why I always tell people to be mindful of where they are shopping from. Shopping from smaller companies, or indie brands you run the risk of being unsatisfied with the products, and not being able to receive proper compensation. The consumer needs to make an informed decision as to what and where they are buying from, and not expect all companies/brands to be the same across the board.
People want with they pay for, so if someone is angry about a legit problem that shouldn't even be happening in the first place it is your companies fault and they have a right to be angry. They pay you so you don't have any right to dismiss a paying customers problems just because you feel like it. People like you need to realize that even with the rude customers they are paying your bills.
mizlindsayk That's unfortunate. As I already stated, customers with legitimate complaints should be dealt with accordingly. My comment was towards entitled customers that are complaining for the sake of complaining.
Can I just say how much I appreciate you pointing out that customer service issues are best directed to the customer service department? I work in customer support, and social media is a really lousy forum for providing support over. Seriously people, customer service is a department of people who are paid to help you with issues like this, that is literally all they do. They probably deal with 20+ delivery queries a day, they could handle it in their sleep. Social Media, on the other hand, is usually manned by marketing people, who have 50 other thing to take care of and usually little understanding how your issue would actually be resolved, so at best they will pass your query on to a CS agent who now knows you tried to do an end run around them, or at worst they will make a well intentioned promise that they can't actually keep. You will have a much better chance of getting the help you need, and getting it quicker, if you contact CS. But I love the look of the Nubian 2 and Masquerade palettes, they are definitely going on my list for when I have the money.
love your new intro! I really like the fact that your videos (in general) are longer because you give us so much information, which is great for people who can't afford to buy every single palette companies sell & how you give us information about companies and how they work. I am a business student and I enjoy learning more about how the business side works.
Holy cow, i remember when you had 20,000 subs. I went today to rewatch the Nubian review And you're now at 300,000! You have grown so much in such little time. You deserve it! Please Do more makeup reviews!
I have been watching your channel for sometime now and I greatly appreciate the effort you put into each video. I love that you do brush swatches, you do a cost break down, and you don't swirl your finger over the shadow for 10 minutes (haha). I bought all 3 of these palettes based on your review because I am in college and on a budget. I can say I've been let down more than once with some high end makeup brands and their palettes. It hurts the wallet and my heart! I just want to say, thank you for your time and effort for each thorough review. Stay amazing gorgeous!
Quite honestly I've NEVER commented on any other youtubers video, but I have to tell you I respect how honest you are. I love how thorough you are too. I just hit the subscribe button 😊
Just subscribed - the realness is what got me. So refreshing to find considering TH-cam lately. And, I just have to know what hair color you used to get this gorgeous color, it's the perfect peachy/light copper/salmon I've been trying to get!! 🙏🏼
Interesting, that's actually exactly what I used (mixed with their Pink diluted a bit with some conditioner) in hopes to get the color I was going for but it didn't work for me unfortunately, I guess my hair wasn't light enough and I know with that particular shade since it's a Pastel, the best results would be on pre lightened and it's also recommended for level 10 hair as well (which I don't have anymore, it's a bit darker, oops 🙃) so that could have been it! But thanks for the reply! I do love how it looks on you.
I agree I subscribed because of the information that is provided I also love her honesty it is refreshing. THANK YOU! I love your tattoos also I only have one so far...lol
Stephanie, can you pleaaassseeee do a video on products you do like?? from foundation, primers, etc. I love your honesty and now you're like the only person I trust on TH-cam 😁😁😁 thanks!!!
I was going to bring up that palette too, since some people were claiming it was a rip-off of these. I disagree with that statement, because you can copyright or trademark colors or concepts, just actual brand elements.
Just found out about you while searching for a review for this palette. This is absolutely the best makeup review video I have ever seen. I'm so nit picky when it comes to details on a product I'm interested in buying. You are obviously very organized, as am I, so watching this was like big sigh of satisfaction. Omg your explanations and layout of what you talked about was perfection. Definitely subscribed because of this.
I'm late to the discussion here but so glad I found your channel. Anyway, I purchased these palettes after NikkieTutorials used them. One of the shadows was defective. I promptly let Juvia's know about it, they promptly responded by sending out a replacement. They could not have been nicer. The product is stunning, better quality than some of the more expensive shadows I have. Can't wait to see what they come out with next. Looking forward to catching up on your videos--you have such a no-b.s. approach which is refreshing and cool. Be well!
The Nubian 2 is also my fav palette but I'm not creative at all and I never know what type of look to do lol can you do a tutorial on your look in the video? 😩❤️
Stephanie I love you. You are the most honest and trustworthy youtuber I know. If i ever want an honest review, I go to you. You are hands down the most honest youtuber I know, and i love how you don't let things sway your opinion. Thank you for being so great and honest!
I have never ever encountered such a thorough review of any makeup product before. There was so much visible effort and clarity that I subscribed before I even reached the halfway mark of the video!! Thank you for this channel, and I hope to purchase one of these palettes soon!!
These ar n my whist list of things to buy & was waiting to hear your thoughts on them first as I know I can count on your for your 100% honesty thanks for the video
Also, as a small brand it's understandable that shipping will take a little longer. Although masque palette arrived surprisingly quick, could've been because I ordered before Jaclyn Hill and Nikkie mentioned them.
I just started watching your review videos and I have to say, you are extremely thorough and I love how informative you are. I love the way you not only review the performance of the product but also the price, amount and ingredients of the product as well, especially with the compare and contrast against other brands. I've seen this done casually before, but never this thorough.
I love how detailed you are in your reviews. I own all 3 palettes & I love the Nubian 2 palette the most myself. As far as the Alissa thing, it seemed to me as the brand got bigger and bigger TH-camrs than Alissa started using and promoting the palettes it was like they kicked Alissa to the side.
+The Layers of Beauty Nubian 2 is the best! I understand how some could think that, she did say & the brand did too, she was paid $700 per video she did for them, plus free product, plus affiliate code money, plus earned ad revenue off of TH-cam views. Businesses change often their direction. It was just out of kindness videos were made, it was business. It didn't appear to me she was taken advantage of. They just didn't send her the last palette, for whatever reason. I don't think either party meant to be malicious. I think it was a misunderstanding that turned personal ❤️
i honestly THANK you for being alive and doing what you do. you are such a genuine and not offending in any way person. the way you speak is neutral, you don't know how to be rude- i just fucking love you so much.
I don't usually comment on videos, but wow. I loved this and love how real you are with everything. It seems in the world today that is hard to come by. I immediately hit subscribe and have been watching your videos for hours now! I also own the first Nubian palette and love it. Such a great brand at a great price. After this review I will def be purchasing one if not both of the other palettes they make. Just want to say thank you for being so real and genuine, it is much appreciated! Oh yea, one last thing....could you PLEASE do a tutorial over the eye look you had for this?!?! Beautiful I love it!
I think you are the only makeup channel on TH-cam doesn't talk unnecessarily and gives facts to the viewers in a professional way. Thank you! Awesome channel! Awesome attitude!
Lmao I trust all her reviews and my ass don't even wear makeup
damn,that's some dedication!
Same here, too poor to buy that stuff 😂😂😂
hahaha
lol why is this me?😂
😂😂😂
I like how upfront and informative you are, you don't just finger swatch and look at the packaging and decide you like it, you actually research and make your informed decision.
you were so mean to her in the video, and now you want to be nice to her?
She deff could have worded it better/ more nicely at least.
Thank you for being real about it & not basically essentially try to use my name for drama like others have unfortunately, but this is the internet and thats usually how it works lol. It sucks how it went down, especially seeing as though people don't realize that JP and I had an agreement made a month prior (on a video) because I was an affiliate lol, so it was such a massive misunderstanding & I def own up to not handling shit properly lmao & I've learned. Overall it was all just a hot ass mess, but I'll never discredit JP for having some bomb products (& I didn't throughout the entire shenanigans). Oh & I am in the Bay too!! Ayeee lol
It's Alissa! Love your channel girl, keep up the great work!!!
Hey girl! I don't think you have a mean bone in your body, I think you are very talented & sweet. I think your sweetness just made you sad about what happened & it felt personal. I totally get it. When the owner DMed me, I did say I was going to bring the situation up, & she did tell me she was very sorry for the way it went down as well. It sounded like she was just super busy, overwhelmed & out of patience. I hope you guys can one day sort it out. Let me know anytime you are up in the city if you want to grab a drink :)
Yeah I'm a huge baby 😂 that's one thing I am is extremely sensitive so I took the situation way out of hand lol but you live and you learn! And yes the owner and I spoke, it was just a tad frustrating because she said she was going to be making a statement explaining the mishap & telling people what I was essentially trying to tell them the whole time (that I'm an affiliate and we had an agreement), but it honestly felt like me being in the hot seat turned into financial gain (as well as buzz) for them so they never really got around to it, so everything is kind of still left unsettled which sucks, but moving forward I know not to publicize what's going on with brands & I on SM, terrible idea lol.
Oh and will you be at Gen Beauty SF?
I wasn't sure yet. I should! I take it you are? The whole time or just certain days?
Seriously my fav youtuber 😭 she always pays attention to us darker skinned girls
I know, she stay looking out
them go buy this pallette seems great i wish i could buy it its very affordable
true! she's so amazing too, a great youtuber
I love the new intro change is a must.
I think it would be amazing if you did a top 5 inexpensive and top 5 high end pallete video! So I can know my money is going towards something I will not regret! And while your videos are lengthy I feel as though you do not "talk a lot" as you said. Because you stick to the subject and don't go off topic like most youtubers. So I feel no need to skip!
I agree put them on a scale from best to worst like she does with the liquid lipsticks!
Cristal Y. Villanueva I'm begging too. if she's this brutally honest I'm dying to know her worth it buys.
With all the drama, I think they're just an indie brand that really didn't expect that much growth.
To be honest, they was not ready for all that
Stella Jacobs tg
I honesty think you do the most amazing reviews on TH-cam you are so detailed. Your channel is one of the best/most refreshing channel Iv found in a long time! 💕🙌🏼
Your channel is amazing too you are one of the top "5" my Irish queen 💕
+Sparklestacey80 Awww thanks guys xx
+DramaticMac your welcome 😘
How sad is it that when youtubers have been involved in so many shady collaborations that somehow always end up with them always being unaware and victimized that when they finally say that a plan eyeshadow palette is s good no one will believe them anymore . I wasn't buying into the juvias place hype up until I saw your review, I love that these are actually good it just sucks that's you don't know what to really believe anymore when they constantly hype up every single thing . But continue to be real Stephanie I would actually really love to see a collab with you and thrift thick (Cassie ) and Emily Noel .
i was really turned off of thrift thick when she was so childish after she didnt win tati's thing. like she refused to get over the fact that she didnt win
I love Emily! Her and steph both are honest and don't bs reviews for money or promotions. If you don't watch her vids already Stephanie I really recommend her!
+Devon Kinney OMG really? What did she do?
+Devon Kinney It's not childish to ask why there'd been no word on a winner for 10 months.
Once I start to see all these videos of the same pallette back to back saying how great the product is I know that it's not an honest opinion and that they received the product for free or are getting paid for their review.
i do not use makeup, i will never use makeup, none of this knowledge is ever going to be used in my life
yet i still love these videos just because of how professional you are and how calming your voice is. its really a stress reliever !!
"My irritation level rises as the price tag rises."
-Stephanie
😂😂😂 this is so trueeeeee
The insane detail in your review videos is so refreshing and helpful. I also watched two other reviews of this palette (I think just the Nubian one) and nobody mentioned that they were created by and for people of color (or at least in mind). Great to see YT artists putting themselves in others' shoes. I'm a pretty new subscriber and this video has solidified my standing.
Holy Fuck now this is a review! This is the first video i have seen of yours and you are so organized and have so much information its great!
THAT INTROOOOO STEPHANIE IM PROUD
YASS
I thumbs this video up like 4 seconds into the intro! it is BEAUTIFUL!
it's so cool and she works full time as well
yess!! I was thinking the same exact thing, it looks so good
I thought it was an episode of Full House.
Stephanie, I hope I don't sound like an annoying fan-girl, and if I do I apologize lol I just wanted to also thank you for reviewing and recommending the Wayne Goss brushes. I bought all of them and I LOVE them! Beign in my 30's I was so used to taking care of my problematic skin and doing my makeup a certain way that I never imagined the importance and huge difference that using quality brushes, skincare products and makeup would make. I am experiencing skincare and makeup in a whole new way now because of your videos, and for that I am immensely greatful! I have always loved makeup but now that my skin has changed so much for the better, I am learning that makeup should be used to accentuate your natural beauty instead of using it to cover up what you are unhappy with. I wish I would've discovered this sooner rather than now that I am 36, but I guess it's better late than never right?! Sorry for the long message. I completely understand if you don't have time to respond but I just wanted to let you know how greatful I am for the information you share through your TH-cam videos and how much you have positively impacted my life. 😊 I wish you nothing but the best in your personal life and much continued success in your TH-cam channel! From the bottom of my heart, Thank you! -Liliana 👸💗
they are 100% worth the money. The eyebrow brush is my HOLY GRAIL!!!
+sbiiine I totally agree! I love them all!
I came here from nikkie talking about it halfway through bc I wanted an honest review lmao
tori that's exactly why I'm here. saw nikkie swatching on snapchat and needed a real opinion
SodaPopJX lol I know right ? we can't trust the huge TH-camrs anymore which sucks.. because we think they'll be honest with the amount of people who love them so of course most will believe they can trust them but they fail you all the time the only big TH-camr I trust is Tati I love her videos she has helped me know what drugstore items to buy because I personally dont only buy high end and Tati I trust so much on drugstore makeup also high end but mainly drugstore stuff her and Stephanie and TotalMakeUpJunkie101 and BARE I love so much I can always go to them when I want to get a new product
tori sameee she exaggerates so you never know how good it actually is lol
How do you feel now after the Kim K scandal?
Jackie Aina keeps it real too
Hahaha, that gleeful little nod when you said "Nice butt!" 😂
her smile when she said that was so cute
BookRatMisty
😆😆
BookRatMisty I watched it three times it gave me such a laugh 😂😂😂
Ugh.
I feel like i absolutely need to check your review before buying. I want this palette. Love you.
OMG!! I'm such a fan of yours Kat!!
The palette designs are GORGEOUS
Lumakeup Pop no? Why lol. They are gorgeous
The new intro is so sick. I don't think it needs any makeup shots (it was mentioned on IG), it's perfect the way it is. It didn't feel like it was long at all. Great job!
I finally scrolled through your description bar and I am DYING at you calling trolls "skid marks of the Internet" LOL
Will you be doing a review on the Huda beauty matte liquid lipsticks?
Yess please!
I love the fact u said " beautiful deep skin"
Words can't describe how much I love your videos, your channel, and you as a person. I've never come across reviews that are so thorough, so informative, and so honest! Thank you so much Stephanie!! Before purchasing any new makeup, I always make sure to check if you have a review on it. Thank you for helping me make such informed decisions about my makeup purchases and helping me spend my money more wisely :) Much love xx
why I watched this whole entire video. I dont use or buy makeup at all. thats the power of stephanie. love youu
I don't think you know the potential of your channel. You are truly a makeup lovers dream, and you truly help us consumers re-evaluate our purchases.
You are so thorough and you say it how it is.
What means the most is that you come across as a genuine person.
Don't ever let anyone interfere with that.
If and when you do a sponsored video, we will know it's because you actually believe in that product. I actually can't wait for you to promote a brand because I will actually know it's genuine!
I look forward to your TH-cam career. It is more promising than you realise.
Have followed you since 12,000, (someone on makeupalley mentioned you so I clicked the link! And I will follow you through many more xxxxx)
P.S I want 1 of those palettes. Too bad I am in Australia.
I love how absolutely intricate you get with your analysis, all the way down to how you swatch things and how much a palette costs per gram! That's amazing. I just really enjoy your videos. Thank you.
YESSSSSS A LONG UPLOAD FROM STEPHANIE! AND ON SOMETHING IVE BEEN WANTING YOUR OPINION ON!!! AND A NEW INTRO!!!(I love it btw)
also I LOVE San Francisco...like so much more than I had ever planned on before visiting. can't wait to go back
I'm so happy you liked San Francisco! I love it so much here
YESSSS. I'm so glad you made this review and I'm so glad the products look amazing. I've been dying to purchase these palettes but I wanted to wait until you reviewed them first. I love how you're one of the few reviewers who swatch with a finger as well as with a brush because I don't think people realize the difference that the oil in your fingers can make in relation to pigmentation. Thanks so much!!
I am loving this new intro girl! Much love
& thank you for always being so honest and real. It's hard to find that in TH-camrs, but you've always kept it 100. You're the best! Because of your review I'm gonna go purchase the Nubian 2 :)
I get ASMR when I watch your videos. I'm not sure what it is, but watching you is so calming.
ME too!!!! so calming
seabent SOOOO true I could listen to steph talk all day long.
Bruh... u r so much better than other makeup "gurus". U give so much helpful information these other people will be like "yep here's the palette here's a look I did with it thanks for watching!!". Ur reviews save lives 1!1!1!1!!!!1!1!!
You and alo are honestly my favs. I feel like
you two don't bullshit your followers and are straight up
yes! was just gonna say the same thing
Ehhh who's Alo? Lol I love Steph so anyone similar to her I'd like to see
who is alo. ❤ looking for more honest youtubers . love SN too.
She doesn't have a TH-cam channel but does reviews on her IG and Snap chat.
+Lisa Boliaris makeupbyalo (on Instagram)
Can you do a review on LunatiCK Cosmetic Labs? Like their Supernatural palette or any of their other eyeshadows? I really want your opinion before I purchase ^-^
yes please! l plan to purchase some of their items next week!
Co-sign! I'd love to see this.
Yes! Would love that!
yesss
Until Stephanie does a review, you might want to check out Kimberly Clark's videos. She did a couple of videos discussing their products. I know she's a fan of them, and her reviews are very unbiased and similar to Stephanie's in my opinion!
Oh my God, Stephanie. Your reviews are so well researched and real and consumer focused. Also that moment with your man was cute.
Okay. Thank you for being you, Stephanie!!! "Don't be a skidmark, be cool." 😂 And thank you for acknowledging the lack of representation for us darker skinned gals. 😙 You make makeup fun again.
Love the new Intro. I can't get over how AMAZING you are. Your reviews are so detailed and exceptional. No one even comes close to your level.
i bought all three, largely based on this review and by doing some general research - i could not be happier!
they're my first proper eyeshadows, not just 'drug store ones', having mainly used NYX beforehand, let me tell you, the pigment and blendability and colour pay off on these is out of this world..
Her videos are incredibely resourceful it's crazy!!! They're nicely put together and they could easily be used for didactic purposes!! She's such an honest and genuine reviewer with not 1 mg of fakeness in her
I don't get why people get so butthurt over the shipping time. I live in Switzerland and it takes some companies about 20 working days to get to me and if it takes a bit longer, I honestly don't care, AS LONG AS it arrives at some point.
hahahah SAME 😂 when you live outside of usa and you're just happy that your items reached you!
I can only speak for myself, but I live in Toronto. On their website, it's stated that their shipment affiliation (DHL) takes 2 days to be delivered to Canada. It took me almost a month to receive my product, and that was after notifying them consistently through email and DMs on Instagram. I had a trip to go on, so I planned my purchase accordingly, and I wanted it prior to my trip, which didn't happen. It was a constant back and forth with customer service. They would update their IG page and I would read comments of people stating they made a purchase and received it in an appropriate time. I do like the palette I got, but it's definitely the last time I buy from them.
Same here I live in Australia and I always have to wait over 2 weeks and people get mad about 5 or 6 days 😂
I totally agree!
nythebest1 I haven't bought from the company so I don't know if you can see where your shipping is but it's annoying that you had to go through that. I would never really buy something from a foreign company and then expect it to arrive on time.
You give the BEST reviews on TH-cam hands DOWN! I value your opinion so much you have no idea. You touch on some many aspects while still remaining unbiased and honest. You are amazing.
These palettes are the bomb!!! The colours pigmentation are everything.
You are my absolute favorite beauty youtuber! You ALWAYS have such honest, detailed, and fair reviews. You have become my "go to" for honest reviews and I appreciate your realness SO much and ts becoming increasingly rare in the beauty commuity! Keep up the awesome work!!!
in love with this video. the intro, the way the swatches are filmed/lighted, your lighting, everything is on point. I love how honest you are, and how you give a cost and ingredient breakdown. you are so informative. keep up the good work Stephanie! thank you!!
I live in SF too and the intro makes me sooo happy. When I found out you also live in SF I was so ecstatic that one of my fav youtubers is in one of my favorite cities.
Also would you ever consider coming out with your own brand/ private label one?
Sophia Passin people were flipping out over jeffrees shipping being slow too. it happened to me where it took weeks. I didn't care as long as I got it.
Girl, the editing on this video is amazing! Love your new intro as well 👌🏽 Thanks for the great and balanced review once more!
I'm late on this video, but I HAVE to tell just how much I love your videos. You have a very VIRGO touch as far as quality. They are just packed with so much useful info without the fluff, honest and unbiased, and so much admirable attention to detail. Being a virgo, I know 'enjoy' a certain amount of perfectionism lol which makes me really appreciate all of your videos. I said to myself, if I was a TH-camr, this is how I'd like it done, you are absolutely tops! Sorry for the winded gushing, I just had to say that, you gained a superfan!
1. I love your new intro 😁
2. It was so cute when you smacked Keegan's butt and smiled at the camera ☺️
3. These shadows are so beautiful I'm starting to wonder why I don't wear eyeshadow 🤔
4. We're going to need a tutorial on this look 😍
I agree tutorial please
At this point in time I would literally not buy a PAPER CLIP unless you discussed the consistency of the formula, cautioned me about any controversial ingredients, educated me on where and who this this paper clip was manufactured by, ran down the price per gram of paperclip across several different brands of paper clips, and then thoroughly analyzed how each paper clip performed across a variety of conditions. Only then would I feel well-informed enough to make the decision to buy it or not. 😂😂
On a serious note, thank you so much for teaching us to be smart consumers. I know where/how far my money is going, and how it is working for ME!! Much love
You are absolutely one of my fave TH-camrs because of how chill and honest you are! I love watching your videos prior to buying products just to save me some money. Even though there are some reviews I do not entirely agree with, I still enjoy listening to your opinions. It helps me understand what to look out for when I'm purchasing new products rather than following the hype. Keep doing what you do!
When I clicked on the video an ad for "Rob & Chyna" came on and then your intro began and I thought I clicked on the Rob&Chyna video or something because that's how amazing/professional the intro was!
U're one of the only YTers i trust for this info. Thanks for doing this vid now i know i can spend money on this haha
I could honestly search TH-cam for hours and not find someone like you! Each video has so much information and you're great!
I'd just like to say thank you for all the information that you put into your videos. Today I learnt that ferric ferrocyanide is the ingredient I'm sensitive to in the one urban decay eyeliner that makes my eyes water when I wear it. Using the information I've learnt from you about the ingredients in products, their order and how to find them, I've compared the ingredient lists for all my favourite eyeliners, and it turns out that ferric ferrocyanide is the only ingredient that doesn't appear in any of the others (in a similar quantity). So thank you :)
omfg steph is getting all fancy and shit up in here
OH MY GOD STEPH IS SO CUT E WITH HER BF OH MY GOD I CRIED WHEN SHE WAS LIKE "NICE BUTT"
When was he in the video? I missed it 🙈
"Listen here you trashy bitch" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 omg I laughed so hard
May I ask who you are calling a trashy bitch??? I hope you are not referring to Stephanie as such!!!??? Stephanie is one of the best out here!!!
She is quoting something that Stephanie said on the video...geez
She was quoting Stephanie... have you never seen quotation marks before? Lol
+Martie Gallego clearly I'm quoting from the video 🙄
Did you even watch the video? It's a quote that Stephanie herself.
I love your intro, very unique
Great review, thank you, I would like a video about your beautiful skin, it's flawless.
Gin!!!💟💟💟💟
Gin Amber at first I thought it was a commercial 😂
The Nubian 2 palette is so beautiful! The third color on the first row is a beautiful highlighter color if you're dark skinned, and the blue is a beautiful lower line color!!! And these are so pigmented?!!
Literally the first time a youtuber has sold me on a palette I'd never heard about. Will definitely be getting the Nubian 2!
Thanks and well done Stef, I think everyone here really appreciates the work you put into your videos xx
I love your dead honest reviews. Thank you for your courage and bravery to tell it like it is. I appreciate it so much.
ahhh I absolutely fucking LOVE the new intro!! sooo proud of you... aaand you're looking especially beautiful too girrrrl :) love youuu ♡♡♡
So, I now have all three of these palettes, and I LOVE them! I believe that you could achieve ANY look you could possibly imagine with these three palettes. The formula is wonderful, and the colors stay so true on the skin it is just unbelievable! The original Nubian palette puts the Urban Decay Naked palettes to shame in my opinion. I don't use any glitter glue (just Too Faced Shadow Insurance) with any of these and have not experienced any fall-out (which is a good thing because I have been putting my eyes on last for more than 50 years and am in not inclined to change that :) ). I am just so pleased with these palettes. I have very pale skin, and these colors work beautifully for me. Thank you Juvia's Place for creating the perfect palettes!
Yayyyyyy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Another video from Stephanie ❤️. Love you so much, I adore this new intro 🔥.
That nice butt moment was too cute 😂❤️.
I thought I was watching a commercial for a movie with the intro, it's very professional and very clean and classy. Love your videos as always, you inspire me to be as thorough and professional in my everyday life.
I just ordered the Saharan palette and the masquerade palette... can't wait to try them out! thanks for the video
You're seriously makeup goals, I can't even get my eyeliner to get even properly in the morning. But I really like how you are very honest with your reviews and your disclaimers as well. I am just starting to get into makeup after 20 years of living and I really rely on other people's recommendations and some experimentation to navigate my way through all these brands. I have a question though, do you know any makeup brands that are organic/vegan? I have very sensitive skin, especially around the eyes and I'm not very keen on putting harsh chemicals around my eyes whenever I want to put on makeup. Thank you and I love your videos!
We have ALL been there. I look back at photos and am embarrassed I was even allowed out in public.
I have really sensitive skin as well and only buy cruelty free makeup. I do try to buy vegan when possible, but not everything I purchase is vegan. I really enjoy the Makeup Geek, Tarte, and Anastasia Beverly Hills products a lot. Most of the Makeup Geek products are vegan and they note if it is/isn't. Just remember vegan or organic doesn't mean chemical free. I believe Tarte makes such notations as well.
Kat Von D !
check out websites like logical harmony and cruelty free kitty. if you have tumlr look up vegan makeup - that blog is really useful xxx
PandaLuver1996- It's key to figure out what you are sensitive to. Just because something is organic or vegan, doesn't mean you'll tolerate it. Keep a log and you can pinpoint what's causing issues and investigate ingredients to connect the dots.
PandaLuver1996 pacifica, red apple lipstick, 100 percent pure, gabriel cosmetics/zuzu luxe, dusty girls, mineral fusion, these are all cruelty free and vegan :)
I trust your opinion so much! Truly have so much respect for you! I'm glad more ppl are watching your vids.
You are absolutely boss at reviews! The research, details and honesty completely blows all other reviews out of the water. It has made me realise sooooo many people have no idea what they are talking about. So happy I found your channel 👌
Maybe you could make a video about your favorite pallets? 😍😍
Yass
THANK YOUUUUU I have been wanting her to rate her fav pallets like she does her liquid lip formulas!
I was literally going to ask what her favorite palettes are because I appreciate her opinion.
Same! I follow her on instagram and she is working on it now!
YASSSS like when I first discovered her channel I was like she hates everything bruh lmaoo but now I value her opinion so much and I'm really interested on what she likes
Please make a tutorial of the makeup look you're wearing in this video x
It's absolutely gorgeous
+awkwardsilence45 seriously! she looks flawless!! 😍 i need the deets on this foundation/primer combo
My sentiments exactly!! :) I loooooved it
She's wearing Cle de Peau Silky Cream in 020 foundation. most of the makeup she used are listed in the description box. :)
Yes!
See girl, this is why I will ALWAYS be HERE for you!!!! I love the way you present your videos. Always well spoken, informative and REAL! I check your channel whenever I’m ready to but something I haven’t tried!
I somewhat work (mostly on the business side of my company, but sometimes handle some customer service complains) in customer service as well, and the consumer mentality is so extremely demanding these days, it's completely ridiculous. I work at a small company, and people expect us to be like Amazon, or Nordstrom. I laugh daily from some of the e-mails we get from customers DEMANDING things from us. People need to chill the fuck out. As a consumer, you will get much better service if you are nice about an issue, than if you come off as rude from the beginning. It's just common sense, and proper etiquette. Even I am more inclined to help nicer customers, than rude ones. I can decide to concede the request or not, merely depending on who the customer is, or how they are addressing their complaint. Trust me, I've told several customers to fuck off (not in those words, obviously LOL,) for rudely complaining about something, and have given respectful customer what they wanted (or even more), for the same complaint. Big companies don't give a shit, because they have money to burn. But people need to realize that in general, you will receive what you give. Meaning, if you're shitty, it's pretty likely someone will be shitty back to you. P.S. Love the new intro! It's beautiful. You can definitely tell that a lot of hard work went into it. XOXO
Just want you all to know while people shouldn't be jerks to you, you do lose customers this way. I bought a lipstick from an indie brand that fell out of the tube onto the floor right when I opened it. I examined the bullet and saw it was much too slim for the casing and took pictures. I sent an email to the company customer service asking for a replacement because I believed my product was faulty and they basically told me to f*** off and that it was my fault it fell on the floor. I had bought several lipsticks from them in the past but never again.
Sarah S. It seems like your complaint was pretty legitimate. My company is a retailer for name-brand products, so we aren't an indie brand/company. I don't know what types of business operation they have at those types of companies. But, what I was actually referring to was customers that have ridiculous complaints/expectations. For example: customers that complain that USPS was delayed due to weather conditions, and EXPECT/DEMAND a refund for shipping costs. Something as out of our control as weather conditions! If customers don't realize that the snow in their area delays the postal services due to road closures, they probably shouldn't be ordering online for things they need immediately. It's not unheard of that we do give refunds for such instances, depending on how long it's been since we shipped the product(s), etc. But it's at my discretion which customer I choose to give a refund to. Most likely, rude/entitled customers do not receive refunds. Legitimate complaints are handled accordingly. Even for rude/entitled customers. Or else, that's bad business practice. My point is that big companies like Amazon, or Nordstrom give customers anything they want. Refunds for any complaint, or receive returns for worn/damaged items. Small companies don't have those types of luxuries, and customers expect it. That's why I always tell people to be mindful of where they are shopping from. Shopping from smaller companies, or indie brands you run the risk of being unsatisfied with the products, and not being able to receive proper compensation. The consumer needs to make an informed decision as to what and where they are buying from, and not expect all companies/brands to be the same across the board.
People want with they pay for, so if someone is angry about a legit problem that shouldn't even be happening in the first place it is your companies fault and they have a right to be angry. They pay you so you don't have any right to dismiss a paying customers problems just because you feel like it. People like you need to realize that even with the rude customers they are paying your bills.
A lot of people who have reported customer service issues did take the 'be nice' route, and they were shit on just as hard
mizlindsayk That's unfortunate. As I already stated, customers with legitimate complaints should be dealt with accordingly. My comment was towards entitled customers that are complaining for the sake of complaining.
Can I just say how much I appreciate you pointing out that customer service issues are best directed to the customer service department? I work in customer support, and social media is a really lousy forum for providing support over.
Seriously people, customer service is a department of people who are paid to help you with issues like this, that is literally all they do. They probably deal with 20+ delivery queries a day, they could handle it in their sleep. Social Media, on the other hand, is usually manned by marketing people, who have 50 other thing to take care of and usually little understanding how your issue would actually be resolved, so at best they will pass your query on to a CS agent who now knows you tried to do an end run around them, or at worst they will make a well intentioned promise that they can't actually keep.
You will have a much better chance of getting the help you need, and getting it quicker, if you contact CS.
But I love the look of the Nubian 2 and Masquerade palettes, they are definitely going on my list for when I have the money.
love your new intro! I really like the fact that your videos (in general) are longer because you give us so much information, which is great for people who can't afford to buy every single palette companies sell & how you give us information about companies and how they work. I am a business student and I enjoy learning more about how the business side works.
Holy cow, i remember when you had 20,000 subs. I went today to rewatch the Nubian review And you're now at 300,000! You have grown so much in such little time. You deserve it!
Please Do more makeup reviews!
I respect your reviews.. Your upfront and honest.. No bullshit straight to the point type of chick! I'm glad I found your channel!
I have been watching your channel for sometime now and I greatly appreciate the effort you put into each video. I love that you do brush swatches, you do a cost break down, and you don't swirl your finger over the shadow for 10 minutes (haha). I bought all 3 of these palettes based on your review because I am in college and on a budget. I can say I've been let down more than once with some high end makeup brands and their palettes. It hurts the wallet and my heart!
I just want to say, thank you for your time and effort for each thorough review. Stay amazing gorgeous!
Brush swatch and finger swatch , I think I might just find my favorite youtuber !! I'm in love
Quite honestly I've NEVER commented on any other youtubers video, but I have to tell you I respect how honest you are. I love how thorough you are too. I just hit the subscribe button 😊
the more I watch you the more I appreciate your honesty and RBF. It's refreshing i love it!
my point exactly... you want something and truly want to support that company because of the quality, buy it yourself!
Just subscribed - the realness is what got me. So refreshing to find considering TH-cam lately. And, I just have to know what hair color you used to get this gorgeous color, it's the perfect peachy/light copper/salmon I've been trying to get!! 🙏🏼
Thank you. It's Pravana's Coral
I love the color of you're hair
Interesting, that's actually exactly what I used (mixed with their Pink diluted a bit with some conditioner) in hopes to get the color I was going for but it didn't work for me unfortunately, I guess my hair wasn't light enough and I know with that particular shade since it's a Pastel, the best results would be on pre lightened and it's also recommended for level 10 hair as well (which I don't have anymore, it's a bit darker, oops 🙃) so that could have been it! But thanks for the reply! I do love how it looks on you.
I agree I subscribed because of the information that is provided I also love her honesty it is refreshing. THANK YOU! I love your tattoos also I only have one so far...lol
Stephanie, can you pleaaassseeee do a video on products you do like?? from foundation, primers, etc. I love your honesty and now you're like the only person I trust on TH-cam 😁😁😁 thanks!!!
Can you review the serpentina palette from Kat Von D?
She did a mini review on it on her Instagram! :)
Yasss please
I don't have an Instagram 😔
+Zoya Iqbal her profile is private
I was going to bring up that palette too, since some people were claiming it was a rip-off of these. I disagree with that statement, because you can copyright or trademark colors or concepts, just actual brand elements.
You are the only TH-camr I trust, please never change 💖 and I love the intro
Just found out about you while searching for a review for this palette. This is absolutely the best makeup review video I have ever seen. I'm so nit picky when it comes to details on a product I'm interested in buying. You are obviously very organized, as am I, so watching this was like big sigh of satisfaction. Omg your explanations and layout of what you talked about was perfection. Definitely subscribed because of this.
I'm late to the discussion here but so glad I found your channel. Anyway, I purchased these palettes after NikkieTutorials used them. One of the shadows was defective. I promptly let Juvia's know about it, they promptly responded by sending out a replacement. They could not have been nicer. The product is stunning, better quality than some of the more expensive shadows I have. Can't wait to see what they come out with next. Looking forward to catching up on your videos--you have such a no-b.s. approach which is refreshing and cool. Be well!
The Nubian 2 is also my fav palette but I'm not creative at all and I never know what type of look to do lol can you do a tutorial on your look in the video? 😩❤️
Same!! Finally someone who share my pain lol
I always end with the Same eyeshadow look: Several browns in the crease and a shimmer on the lid lol
Stephanie I love you. You are the most honest and trustworthy youtuber I know. If i ever want an honest review, I go to you. You are hands down the most honest youtuber I know, and i love how you don't let things sway your opinion. Thank you for being so great and honest!
Your intro was actually the shortest I've seen, most people take over a min for theirs 🙄 and I hate it. Love your music choices and your channel ❤️❤️
i just like the black art on the packaging.
Lauren smith Yes, it's Gorgeous!! And the product is the best!!! For EVERYONE!!!! LUV YA!!!
I have never ever encountered such a thorough review of any makeup product before. There was so much visible effort and clarity that I subscribed before I even reached the halfway mark of the video!! Thank you for this channel, and I hope to purchase one of these palettes soon!!
These ar n my whist list of things to buy & was waiting to hear your thoughts on them first as I know I can count on your for your 100% honesty thanks for the video
*are on my wish *
I love that you mentioned Alo's code, I've followed her for years and she's very real and raw. Love you both so much, and only trust your opinions!
Also, as a small brand it's understandable that shipping will take a little longer. Although masque palette arrived surprisingly quick, could've been because I ordered before Jaclyn Hill and Nikkie mentioned them.
I just started watching your review videos and I have to say, you are extremely thorough and I love how informative you are. I love the way you not only review the performance of the product but also the price, amount and ingredients of the product as well, especially with the compare and contrast against other brands. I've seen this done casually before, but never this thorough.
I love how detailed you are in your reviews. I own all 3 palettes & I love the Nubian 2 palette the most myself. As far as the Alissa thing, it seemed to me as the brand got bigger and bigger TH-camrs than Alissa started using and promoting the palettes it was like they kicked Alissa to the side.
+The Layers of Beauty Nubian 2 is the best! I understand how some could think that, she did say & the brand did too, she was paid $700 per video she did for them, plus free product, plus affiliate code money, plus earned ad revenue off of TH-cam views. Businesses change often their direction. It was just out of kindness videos were made, it was business. It didn't appear to me she was taken advantage of. They just didn't send her the last palette, for whatever reason. I don't think either party meant to be malicious. I think it was a misunderstanding that turned personal ❤️
Most thorough review of this brand! I am just turned off by the bad customer service woes, cause these palettes are obviously worth the hype.
i honestly THANK you for being alive and doing what you do. you are such a genuine and not offending in any way person. the way you speak is neutral, you don't know how to be rude- i just fucking love you so much.
I don't usually comment on videos, but wow. I loved this and love how real you are with everything. It seems in the world today that is hard to come by. I immediately hit subscribe and have been watching your videos for hours now! I also own the first Nubian palette and love it. Such a great brand at a great price. After this review I will def be purchasing one if not both of the other palettes they make. Just want to say thank you for being so real and genuine, it is much appreciated! Oh yea, one last thing....could you PLEASE do a tutorial over the eye look you had for this?!?! Beautiful I love it!
The intro was so cute, love it!
Also your eyeshadow is so pretty! Looks like a sunset! 💕
I think you are the only makeup channel on TH-cam doesn't talk unnecessarily and gives facts to the viewers in a professional way. Thank you! Awesome channel! Awesome attitude!
That intro is beautiful, all of your time has produced a beautiful piece. Also thank you go the review,
