I definitely prefer this format for dupe videos, I like being able to see more of the application. Also would be super interested in seeing the new Maybelline super stay foundation in a testing new drugstore makeup video. I feel so out of the loop with drugstore releases recently but I know there’s a ton of intriguing stuff out there that aren’t being talked about for whatever reason. When I do see drugstore related videos, it’s always about elf but truthfully I don’t care about elf, not that much anyway. Like can we please get some more variety, other brands exist and are releasing stuff too 😭
I’ve been wanting to try the Rare Beauty blushes and Thrive so bad but I don’t want to spend the money. I feel like I’m missing out if most TH-camrs are always using the High End products. Even if it’s just $30 it’s a lot for me. Thanks for testing these dupes for us
The rare beauty mini blushes are great! It still takes forever to use up and spending the full size amount when I like options didn’t make sense. Definitely try a mini! And the packaging of the mini is still great - it’s not a case of the mini version having bad packaging, which really irks me with many other brands.
I bought a mini size of a Rare Beauty liquid blush and it will last forever because it’s so pigmented. But I hear you. I do the rare splurge but otherwise find drugstore brands are just fine if not better (for instance, I’ve been very underwhelmed by Charlotte Tilbury stuff & think elf eyeshadow is better!).
I totally get you. I'm on a drugstore/Korean budget and couldn't get the Rare Beauty blushes despite wanting to try them so badly for years (I'll be honest: am a blushophile 😅). But quite recently I used an unexpected cashback to buy a high end cream bronzer in the UK - the only way I can get US brands (finally a shade that matches, and a formula that looks amazing), and the same website sold Rare Beauty. I caved. I ended up getting the mini! I love Rare Beauty for having miniature options! Not only are they cheaper - I only paid €15, which isn't cheap compared to drugstore or K-beauty, but it's doable - but quite often liquids go bad before you finish them. The RB blushes are so pigmented that I only need one dot. ONE! (Most people use two dots, but I use a smaller area on my face for blush as it makes me look younger). So, even the mini will last me forever. So, trust me: if you really want to have them, save up for a mini blush. PS. I also got an ELF blush as they were just €6 on sale, the so called dupe for RB, but they're drier imho: I prefer the finish of the RB on my dry, mature skin. Haven't tried the L'Oréal yet. PS2. Korea/ Japan still have my vote for blushes. Better than high-end. I love-love cream blushes, particularly from (f.e) CanMake, Lilybyred or Fwee, but A'PIEU and Etude House both have amazing liquid blushes. Look for the ones that look like nailpolish bottles.
For the Apple Watch band- there are some soft silicone bands that have a flowery pattern to them that has holes/spaces throughout the pattern. It allows air to get to the skin and keeps the skin from getting sweaty under the band. Hope that helps!
Jessica, little trick for your mascara when it gets clumpy, buy a travel size bottle of contact solution, put about 4 drops into mascara tube, put wand back in and shake tube really well. It will soften & mix up the mascara and you will be able to use it longer. It will be much more emollient for longer. Try it, it really works.
Oh man, I LOVE the Thrive Cosmetics liquid lash extensions mascara. It’s worth every penny. In my experience the ELF tubing mascara doesn’t compare at all. I agree that there are lots of great drug store mascara options, but if you want a tubing mascara, Thrive is the best in show!
A note on the Thrive- don't mess with it so much. It's starting to dry already and you're still swiping, which is why it's 'clumping.' Thrive is amazing because you can just do a few swipes quickly and you're done! ❤
My ultimate favorite mascara is the elf tubing mascara & that will absolutely never change ever. Your lashes looked so much cleaner & wispy with the elf mascara & the thrive mascara looked thick & clumpy. Plus, elf tubing mascara is so much cheaper. If you haven't tried the brown version before, go get one & I feel like it's better than the black one.
I don’t think they’re discontinuing the Haus labs bronzers they’re probably just going to change the packaging to the smaller packaging like they did to the blushes. That’s what I heard❤
elastic Apple Watch straps!!! I got a pack off Amazon, it’s so nice and not rubbery. I’ve worn the straps and gotten them wet in kayaks etc and it’s so nice. they slip over your hand and are adjustable and fit perfectly since they adjust so well!
Thank-you you! The Thrive mascara has always clumped on me and given me spider lashes. The e.l.f. mascara woks better, lasts just as well, and comes off easier.
I LOVE the Elf tubing mascara! However, I didn't like it the first time I tried it. I used it, hated it, set it aside for a few weeks, then decided to give it another go and loved it. So if you try it and don't like it at first, maybe let it dry out a little bit.
The 'hair scrunchie' style watch bands are machine washable and super comfy!!!! (no claustrophobic wrist!) so I use them for everything, including working out.
Here to say that the Elf mascara rocks!!!! I quit using mascara because my eyes are so sensitive and I hated taking it off. It’s soooo easy to remove and doesn’t flake. Pretty buildable too
The PF glowy primer looks much more toned down and prettier, in my opinion. As for the mascara, my all-time favorite is the L'oreal Lash Paradise. But have never found a formula that removes like the Thrive mascara. It's beautiful. Superior formula. Also, I top the Thrive mascara with the Lash Paradise mascara. Makes it look beautiful. And oh my goodness, I LOVE the L'oreal Dewy Worth It blush! I haven't used another blush since I've purchased it. It's beautiful. I love that color. Its gorgeous.
Thanks Jess, when I’m looking for A quality drug store makeup product or A review on A new product I always refer to your vids! I find the answers and have saved so much money . They also tell me what color you’re wearing, that helps so much, buying online with Target, Amazon, Walmart… it is so hard to color match! Thanks for all of your hard work!💕💕
Really? For me they were a breath of fresh air. Almost all bronzers are always too yellow and orange, way too warm toned. There's a very limited bunch I can wear. On someone with my muted cool tone (meaning that I also have blue-grey tones in my skin, so lavender/purple undertones look good too. Or better even), these butter bronzers - I have 01 - made me feel great. The Nyx, with their pink undertones, were an answered prayer for thousands of cool toned people, as it was something that finally looked good AND natural, instead of all the muddy rest. The only people I've heard complain - and I watched a million reviews before I bought, were warm toned people, a few neutrals, and those who also have olive undertones - besides some cool. So because of the green tones, the pink doesn't properly work. They need a greyer variant, like the Milani Silky Matte 02 (my absolute favourite powder bronzer). Anyway, just thinking 'out loud'. Was just surprised. While I'm happy that the normally underrepresented cool toned peeps finally feel heard and have enough to choose from, maybe Nyx will create more undertones to satisfy more people. The formula is indeed great.
l love these dupe videos! In my 47 years, there are only 3 products I haven't been able to dupe w/ sensitive, dry skin: the Nars matte concealer, Bare Minerals Rescue Tinted Spf Foundation, and the La Roche Posay tinted mineral sunscreen. If anyone knows dupes for those, I'd love to hear them!
I love use tubing mascara, but only on my bottom lashes though. That’s where I smudge. I use two mascaras but doesn’t take much longer. The ELF one really is good!
Thank you for your recommendation for the L’Oréal liquid blush! I have both Rare beauty and now the L’Oréal and actually love the way the L’Oréal blush blends out. ❤
That’s so true about not having to miss out on nice makeup! I felt the same way a while back, and now I feel like I can go get a nice new product for just because and not feel guilty about it. I just bought the elf plumping gloss too in sparking rose, and I love the feeling of it.
So so good!! Love these videos! I’m always someone who doesn’t mind the splurge, but also want to be more budget conscious. So these recs help so much!
Wow! Great video! Your drug store options are so good! I haven't been watching your videos in a while but I'm so happy I found you again! (they don't seem to be in my feed, but I've turned on ALL notifications now! ) Love the glowy primer look so I'll be picking up the Physicians Formula. And the blush and lip gloss...very nice. Thanks Jessica!
I’m so glad to see you doing more makeup videos again Jess, I so missed them. Also the thrive I had the same problem with , I’ve had more success with drugstore mascara than high end most of the time
I have to thank you for the ranking foundations video. I had tried the Loreal Age Perfect Serum before and didn't love it, but I tried your shade and it was a perfect shade for me! It is now my daily wear foundation. I watch your videos because I not only enjoy your content but also I can really trust your opinions. You are honest about your opinions, good or bad, and don't come across and loving everything to garner more sponsorships or PR.
another good Saie dupe (I loved Starglow) Loreal Lumi Glotion. I use fair glow. However, heads up, I liked to use both the Lumi and the Saie as a liquid highlighter at the end of my routine.
Always love a Jessie video!! Also- if you haven't tried the Fenty lip gloss bombs and lipsticks stop what you are doing and go get it. Always been a lip gloss person but the lipstick feels like lip gloss. Just try it! You won't be disappointed!
Hi Jessica I’m more thankful happy to use more affordable brands for colour cosmetics eg blush, but I have never found a foundation (available in my shade) that I like. I’m ultra pale and extremely cool toned with eczema prone dry mature skin, so foundation shopping is really difficult. Most brands don’t have a shade match (including higher end) but it’s even more difficult in affordable brands. For reference I am 00 in Dior, 03p in Sephora brand and 0.5 in Revolution (yes I am that pale 😂). I have also been really into K beauty makeup recently as they do a lot of lilac or grape tones that are truly cool toned and don’t turn peachy on my skin/lips within five minutes (I need that purple undertone to stop things turning orange 🍊 on me). Best wishes x
Oh man. I would love to pick up the lumi blush except I have to work through my rare beauty ones first 😬 I got them on sale 20% off when they were still $20. Kind of glad I did. They might last me forever! lol. 🤷🏻♀️
Rare Beauty revolutionized today's liquid blush. They deserve every penny for their creative innovation. I won't be selling them out for a copy cat product. ✌️
Jess, I can’t wear the rubber watch bands. I buy Velcro Apple Watch ⌚️ bands on Amazon. Great for working out or everyday wear. Love the soft feel. I wash them in a netted laundry bag.
Rare beauty is the best for deeper skin tones. Most brands can’t get the pigment deep enough. Elf was pigmented and i liked their tones but not forgiving when blending and blotchy.
We have the same skintone and in the same colors as you and it worked perfectly. I love the eye shadow on you, liked to gave seen you apply which colors. You looked beautiful. ❤
8:53 re: Dupe- i did this recently too! I told my husband i found a dupe for one of his snacks at the store and he looked at me like i was using teen slang and was like, “dupe??” - i was cracking up thinking, oh yeah, he doesn’t watch makeup youtube 😂😂👍🧡👍🧡
I still will always repurchase Buxom glosses. They’re such a treat and the packaging is both nostalgic and luxe. I love elf, but I’m just not getting that experience from that lip gloss 😅
The cottony-woven apple watch bands they sell on Amazon work for me every day and during workouts. They aren't that dressy looking, so I still swap out occasionally.
I got the saie glow in a small size from Sephora in one of the best of beauty bags where they gave me about 6 products and some were full sized. I remember trying it…and it actually had a weird smell to it. I think that it might of went bad. 🤷♀️ I’ve never heard anyone say anything about a scent, but let me tell you that it wasn’t pleasant. After the second time trying it, it went into the trash 🗑️ Anyways going to try the P.F. one now that you told me about it. Ty
Merit blushes are a dupe for the Moira cosmetics blues & they are $ 8. The shade are absolutely STUNNING & I can't even believe they did that. Plz get them & try them. I would love to hear your thoughts.
The L’Oréal Infallible Bronzer in 300 is SOOOO good. I tried the elf tubing mascara because your rec and it was so bad on me! I have oily skin, so maybe that’s why I got flaking/ transfer. :^(
Have you tried the serum foundation from wet n wild? Not the tinted moisturizer. I haven’t seen it in stores, but it’s online. Would love to see what you think!
Love dupe videos it’s great 😊 ❤ it’s true there’s some products I’ve purchased from the drugstore instead of high end. But I do own high end make up that love more. I love having a mix. Oh and has for the Apple Watch band I own some of the fabric bands from Apple and they are very breathable especially when you sweat from working out. And they are great for fitness. More so than the rubber ones they make which I like them too, 😊

THANK GOD!! Woohoo I LOVE your content Jess! So happy to see another video, it makes my night! Time to get out the credit card, you GO GIRL! 😘😘😘
But what is your favorite drugstore mascara that you mentioned? I only see the Elf. Is it Essence Lash Princess?
@@Heyheyrayeraye I know, I was looking for it too but maybe she forgot to mention it cause I'm sitting here ready to buy!!!
don’t get me wrong, you look beautiful either way but jessie with dark hair is my fav ❤
Yes ❤
There’s something about that Snow White type coloring that I find so beautiful. The dark hair really brings that out.
I love it either way!
I agree 100%
Remember Jessica’s hair before she got married..I loved the dark and wavy…my fav. She looks either way❤
I definitely prefer this format for dupe videos, I like being able to see more of the application. Also would be super interested in seeing the new Maybelline super stay foundation in a testing new drugstore makeup video.

When I do see drugstore related videos, it’s always about elf but truthfully I don’t care about elf, not that much anyway. Like can we please get some more variety, other brands exist and are releasing stuff too 😭
The new light DOES make a huge difference. Love it
I absolutely can not stand how celebrities have super expensive brands when they are already rolling in money. It’s just so greedy.
I’ve been wanting to try the Rare Beauty blushes and Thrive so bad but I don’t want to spend the money. I feel like I’m missing out if most TH-camrs are always using the High End products. Even if it’s just $30 it’s a lot for me. Thanks for testing these dupes for us
Rare Beauty has travel sized blushes on Sephora’s website for $14. Since a little goes a long way, it’s about the same as the drugstore. 😊
The rare beauty mini blushes are great! It still takes forever to use up and spending the full size amount when I like options didn’t make sense. Definitely try a mini! And the packaging of the mini is still great - it’s not a case of the mini version having bad packaging, which really irks me with many other brands.

I always do this!

I like to put a layer of tubing mascara over regular mascara. It locks it in!!

Wooo thanks doll ❤
The PF glowy primer looks much more toned down and prettier, in my opinion. As for the mascara, my all-time favorite is the L'oreal Lash Paradise. But have never found a formula that removes like the Thrive mascara. It's beautiful. Superior formula. Also, I top the Thrive mascara with the Lash Paradise mascara. Makes it look beautiful.

I love the Saie glowy super gel! I love it as a primer and I use the shade Sunglow for a little bronzey look!
The Nyx butter bronzers pull so warm on me! I have a cool undertone too. I did love the formula but not the color.
Really? For me they were a breath of fresh air. Almost all bronzers are always too yellow and orange, way too warm toned. There's a very limited bunch I can wear. On someone with my muted cool tone (meaning that I also have blue-grey tones in my skin, so lavender/purple undertones look good too.

l love these dupe videos! In my 47 years, there are only 3 products I haven't been able to dupe w/ sensitive, dry skin: the Nars matte concealer, Bare Minerals Rescue Tinted Spf Foundation, and the La Roche Posay tinted mineral sunscreen. If anyone knows dupes for those, I'd love to hear them!
Can you do a all catrice review/try on? Love your videos.
Great idea!!
I love use tubing mascara, but only on my bottom lashes though. That’s where I smudge. I use two mascaras but doesn’t take much longer. The ELF one really is good!
How did I not put two and two together that about that mascara dupe! Now I know why I love the elf one!!
Thank you for your recommendation for the L’Oréal liquid blush! I have both Rare beauty and now the L’Oréal and actually love the way the L’Oréal blush blends out. ❤
I COMPLETELY agree on the Thrive mascara. I threw mine away after a few weeks because I could not handle the effort any longer.
You were cracking me up on this one. You’re just so bubbly. LOVE it , I enjoy your videos so much. Love the hair by the way. 💕
LOVING the nails
Omg the Essence lip liner! No more Makeup Forever! Just as awesome. Five times less $$. Thank you soo much.
That’s so true about not having to miss out on nice makeup! I felt the same way a while back, and now I feel like I can go get a nice new product for just because and not feel guilty about it. I just bought the elf plumping gloss too in sparking rose, and I love the feeling of it.
So so good!! Love these videos! I’m always someone who doesn’t mind the splurge, but also want to be more budget conscious. So these recs help so much!
video quality is looking amazing here jess!!
Wow! Great video! Your drug store options are so good! I haven't been watching your videos in a while but I'm so happy I found you again! (they don't seem to be in my feed, but I've turned on ALL notifications now! ) Love the glowy primer look so I'll be picking up the Physicians Formula. And the blush and lip gloss...very nice. Thanks Jessica!
Glad you found me again too! 🥰🥰🥰
I’m so glad to see you doing more makeup videos again Jess, I so missed them. Also the thrive I had the same problem with , I’ve had more success with drugstore mascara than high end most of the time
This hair colour suits you so incredibly well ❤ Love this kind of video!! Btw what shade did you use from the NYX butter bronzer?
I love the elf mascara so much! I want to try that lip combo now!
I have to thank you for the ranking foundations video. I had tried the Loreal Age Perfect Serum before and didn't love it, but I tried your shade and it was a perfect shade for me! It is now my daily wear foundation. I watch your videos because I not only enjoy your content but also I can really trust your opinions. You are honest about your opinions, good or bad, and don't come across and loving everything to garner more sponsorships or PR.
Love this! I can't believe how good Elf is. I find I reach for all of their products over my high end every single day.
another good Saie dupe (I loved Starglow) Loreal Lumi Glotion.
I use fair glow. However, heads up, I liked to use both the Lumi and the Saie as a liquid highlighter at the end of my routine.
Jess, which is your ALL-TIME favorite drugstore mascara for mostly length but SOME volume?? I have to know! I wanna buy it!
I love these type of videos you do!! You are my favorite influencer. 🤗
Essence discontinued the 8 hour liner, it was my favorite so now im on the hunt for cheap, long lasting lip liner
It’s so awesome to see you getting more subscribers!!!!!! You deserve it girl
Wow! Thanks for this side by side. Love the cost comparison. Nice to know we don’t have to over spend.
Was just looking for a new mascara. Perfect timing.
Groupings of Dupings I ❤ that .Make it a new series on your channel 😊
I highly highly highly recommend the Milani highly rated lash extensions tubing mascara!
I will try it! Thanks!
So excited to buy this as soon as I can! Sky High sucks lol
Always love a Jessie video!! Also- if you haven't tried the Fenty lip gloss bombs and lipsticks stop what you are doing and go get it. Always been a lip gloss person but the lipstick feels like lip gloss. Just try it! You won't be disappointed!
Agree! So good!😊
I love every single video that you put out!! You're such a beautiful reflection of God's whole heart ❤ ps... i love the NYX bronzer so much!!!
I happen to love Thrive Causemetics mascara! It’s so easy to apply and remove. In my opinion, it’s totally worth the price!
You do you then. 😊
It looks like the No7 powder re-re formulated their powder back to the ORIGINAL FORMULA. I BOUGHT IT AND DO THINK IS THE SAME AS IT WAS ❤❤❤
Your uploads always make me smile ❤
Hi Jessica I’m more thankful happy to use more affordable brands for colour cosmetics eg blush, but I have never found a foundation (available in my shade) that I like. I’m ultra pale and extremely cool toned with eczema prone dry mature skin, so foundation shopping is really difficult. Most brands don’t have a shade match (including higher end) but it’s even more difficult in affordable brands. For reference I am 00 in Dior, 03p in Sephora brand and 0.5 in Revolution (yes I am that pale 😂).
I have also been really into K beauty makeup recently as they do a lot of lilac or grape tones that are truly cool toned and don’t turn peachy on my skin/lips within five minutes (I need that purple undertone to stop things turning orange 🍊 on me). Best wishes x
If there is ever dupes for urban decay shadows, Id be thrilled. I just love how well they pack on, stay, pigment match etc
Judy Doll shadows from Yesstyle. Lauren Mae and Taylor Wynn have videos on them.
Oh man. I would love to pick up the lumi blush except I have to work through my rare beauty ones first 😬 I got them on sale 20% off when they were still $20. Kind of glad I did. They might last me forever! lol. 🤷🏻♀️
Just caught this video right after it uploaded, so excited to watch!
The way you said obviously gives Snape talking to Umbridge 😂😂😂
Rare Beauty revolutionized today's liquid blush. They deserve every penny for their creative innovation. I won't be selling them out for a copy cat product. ✌️
Jess, I can’t wear the rubber watch bands. I buy Velcro Apple Watch ⌚️ bands on Amazon. Great for working out or everyday wear. Love the soft feel. I wash them in a netted laundry bag.
Rare beauty is the best for deeper skin tones. Most brands can’t get the pigment deep enough. Elf was pigmented and i liked their tones but not forgiving when blending and blotchy.
Even better than the elf mascara dupe,I think the Milani highly rated mascara is even better!❤
I love the essence lip liners.
I love watching your videos. You are always so happy. Today's dupes seem especially good!
Good God girl, haven't seen you in months, you're stunning hun! Glowy... before the saie
We have the same skintone and in the same colors as you and it worked perfectly. I love the eye shadow on you, liked to gave seen you apply which colors. You looked beautiful. ❤
Great video! I love when you do these!
Fun video! Followed your link to Amazon for the blush. Picked up two shades. Coupons for both. Yay!!! Thanks!!
Ah yay for coupons!!!
8:53 re: Dupe- i did this recently too! I told my husband i found a dupe for one of his snacks at the store and he looked at me like i was using teen slang and was like, “dupe??” - i was cracking up thinking, oh yeah, he doesn’t watch makeup youtube 😂😂👍🧡👍🧡
Loooove this video! We need a part 2,3,….1,000,… 1,010 etc
8:11 reasons why I love tubing mascaras
I love dupes videos. Thank you. I have found that Rare Beauty blush has a very short wear time. 🥺
I still will always repurchase Buxom glosses. They’re such a treat and the packaging is both nostalgic and luxe. I love elf, but I’m just not getting that experience from that lip gloss 😅
Elf mascara is AWESOME 😂❤
Now I need a video like this for perfume!!!
SAVE YOUR MONEY! Loreal Lumni glotion is fantastic ..
Yes, I've been using that also and really like it
Hi Jessica! Could you please review the new Huda Beauty foundation? Would appreciate your thoughts! Maybe the primer too…I trust you 100% 💕💕💕💕
I love your dupes videos! Thanks! And have a blessed week.😊❤
You could probably glue a piece of microfiber towel (or an eyeglass cleaning cloth) onto the watchband to stop the sweaty wrist issue.
Great dupes vid! Apple makes a sport band with lots of holes in it. Breathes better than the solid ones.
THANK GOD!! Woohoo I LOVE your content Jess! So happy to see another video, it makes my night! Time to get out the credit card, you GO GIRL! 😘😘😘
The cottony-woven apple watch bands they sell on Amazon work for me every day and during workouts. They aren't that dressy looking, so I still swap out occasionally.
Okay this thumbnail caught my eye ✨
I got the saie glow in a small size from Sephora in one of the best of beauty bags where they gave me about 6 products and some were full sized. I remember trying it…and it actually had a weird smell to it. I think that it might of went bad. 🤷♀️ I’ve never heard anyone say anything about a scent, but let me tell you that it wasn’t pleasant. After the second time trying it, it went into the trash 🗑️ Anyways going to try the P.F. one now that you told me about it. Ty
Merit blushes are a dupe for the Moira cosmetics blues & they are $ 8. The shade are absolutely STUNNING & I can't even believe they did that. Plz get them & try them. I would love to hear your thoughts.
The L’Oréal Infallible Bronzer in 300 is SOOOO good.
I tried the elf tubing mascara because your rec and it was so bad on me! I have oily skin, so maybe that’s why I got flaking/ transfer. :^(
the covergirl luminizing gelly primer is super super similar to the saie super gel
Love it! Jessica, you are a hoot! 💋😉
What shade number do you wear in the Fenty? I can’t seem to get the right shade and we are usually the same. Thanks!!
For the Apple Watch-I buy the sports bands that are cloth material..I hate the ones they give you…also makes me sweaty
Have you tried the serum foundation from wet n wild? Not the tinted moisturizer. I haven’t seen it in stores, but it’s online. Would love to see what you think!
Hey Jess. I hipe all is well. Love these videos. I just tried the NYX Butter Bronzer and it is SO gorgeous - discovered through your channel. ❤
Love dupe videos it’s great 😊 ❤ it’s true there’s some products I’ve purchased from the drugstore instead of high end. But I do own high end make up that love more. I love having a mix. Oh and has for the Apple Watch band I own some of the fabric bands from Apple and they are very breathable especially when you sweat from working out. And they are great for fitness. More so than the rubber ones they make which I like them too, 😊
I like the lumi better than elf. Have both
