@@wandarose9687 she's great love her!! I love people who compare the expensive to poor cause when you boil down the ingredients they can be very similar!!
More of us are broke than rich, please remember a lot of videos are fake and buying so much stuff is wasteful and unnecessary there are many issues with over spending. There is NOTHING WRONG WITH U the problem lies in the content and idea of owning everything and expensive stuff. It's unnecessary and it makes normal people like you "FEEL BROKE" don't fall for it sweetheart. ❤😊
I appreciate how candid you are about makeup, you take it seriously and that's why I think your following is so amazing. A lot of people appreciate transparency, and honesty. Ty so much fir being you. May God bless 💙💙
Girl I said it before, I'll say it again; you have such gorgeous healthy hair! I can't get over it; there's not one hint of frizz and the color! So beautiful! ❤️🔥😊
silent watcher here! just wanted to let you know that I love your channel so much!! I feel a lot of youtubers jumped ship now that short form content is popular, but I love love love that you’re still here! I love binging your vids :)
Oooh right on time, I was looking for something to watch 🥰 And your hair, eyeshadow, blouse and makeup in general looks great! Those colors really suit you :)
I really like these drugstore dupe/alternatives videos a lot 🎉 it helps so much when choosing what to buy or try that you think will be a good dupe for something you use that is higher end. I appreciate that you always differentiate between a true dupe and a good alternative. I saw your video last fall on this same topic. You are the first content creator that REALLY laid out what criteria the product should meet to be called a dupe. And there’s nothing wrong with a good alternative either. I just think that is so well thought out and helpful. Thank you for spending your money so we don’t have to ❤ I’ve added more things to my makeup list lol but I’m trying to be more thoughtful about my purchases this year. Have a great week! Hugs 💖
This video is so good!! I’ve been hoping for a review of the colourpop lip balms and so happy to hear about the quality, and the other dupes look superb as well. Thanks for being selective and giving us true dupes!
You’re so pretty. Black really looks good on you. 😊 Your makeup looked stunning in this video. It really sucks that so many stores are shrinking their Makeup Revolution displays. My local Ulta barely has Revolution now, and my local Target has just a tiny display. Which sucks because they are coming out with some amazing products right now. 😢 I really want to try their popular eyeshadow palettes, those lip glosses you mentioned, and a few other new products I can’t remember.
Oh no! I haven’t been in my Ulta or Target for a little while and that really is sad to hear. 😭 I feel like the brand would do better in stores if they included more of the new launches!
I've had the nude mood for years and it is beautiful! Going coconuts is also gorgeous. I recently wanted something more cool and got That's Taule, which is also good quality with beautiful cooler mattes and stunning foily shades
I wanted to love the new Elf drops but they made me break out in welts! The glow recipe one does that too. The Nyx one is safe, so I'll continue using that.
Hi Andrea! Hope you guys are doing good with this crazy cold weather 🥶we’re expecting snow tomorrow which is unusual for San Antonio TX. The city may shut down. We’re just not used to that type of weather. But I’m off from work today for MLK. My husband is making caldo (a Mexican soup) and I’ve been cuddling with my dogs on the couch 🐶❤️This was such a fun video! TTYL and stay safe!😊❤️💄
That sounds like the perfect winter day! I hope you guys stay warm and safe. The weather has been so crazy this winter. We got about 6 inches of snow last night and it’s just so cold! 😭 I’m ready for spring! Have an amazing rest of your night!
You do such a great job explaining the products! I really appreciate the fact you go as in depth as you do as I know it's a lot of work with the swatches, editing etc ❤❤
Thank You! Once again Andréa. I always buy high end, but with the economy I need to start saving. Those are great alternatives, and I can honestly say, I trust your judgment! ❤
I picked up the Elf pallete and loved the look I created, but the second shimmer shadow got hard pan just from swatching it once 🙃🙃🙃 I fixed it, but just frustrating because I’ve literally never experienced hard pan except in a face powder I used a damp sponge on.
Oh no! That is honestly the worst. 😭 I had that happened to a shimmer shadow in a Natasha Denona palette once after swatching it for the first time and I honestly had no idea why for the same reason.
Yes to the CP lip product. I really like them as well. I also like the Fenty ones. They're really nice. I really like the Lifter Glosses. I have a ton of those shades. I really enjoy your videos.
Your videos are so helpful and honestly I don’t mind the rambling, because it feels really laid back, casual, and just generally feels really genuine? Like you’re not constantly rehearsing or just regurgitating everyone else’s thoughts either. (And also I have ADHD so yapping and rambling has typically never bothered me) That being said if it bugs yourself to ramble and be concise with your reviews, I’d highly suggest making lists with the products you’re using! Have the product name, key bullet points, pros and cons, whose skin/who may like said product, price, alternative. I find it personally helpful esp if you won’t get to discuss the item for weeks or months out. Also that Milani Primer >>> picked it back in October for Canadian Black Friday sales and absolutely love it on my combo / dry and reactive skin. So far, it works with every foundation I’ve tried on top ❤
I love all of the details you give on your videos. It helps me decide weather i want to try a product or not. I love high end products but also love drugstore products. Please don't change that about your videos. I have stayed watching your channel for a long time because of your details. Thank you.
I love how in detail you are honestly. Ik it's time consuming and extra for you but I appreciate every minute you put into your videos!! I want to try the Milani smoothing primer but it's been sold out on Ulta for awhile it feels like.
I immediately clicked off this video and went and bought the elf Mario palette dupe! 😍 I’ve been eyeing that Mario palette and wishing I could have gotten it for so long. So excited that I can get the same cool tone looks for a much better price! 😊
I’m all for finding a great drugstore option. I’m just not sold on the ELF palette. I have it in my car waiting to return it. I have this older Profusion Ethereal palette that’s just so gorgeous. It’s just what type of look you want. I get it. I just thought the ELF was just too light for me. That’s all.
I feel like I’ve had bad luck with contour powders over the last few years. I feel like brands are doing really nice liquid contours but so many powders are just still so warm. 😭 I’ll keep you posted if I find a good option!
@@AndreaMatillano Thank you! I was eyeing the Elf Camo liquid bronzer & contour from one of your videos. Is it on the warmer side? For the fair/light shade it does look a bit warm online.
If you're fair and have a neutral or rosy undertone, you might like the Milani silky matte bronzer. The lightest one is great and I'm about to pan mine.😊
@ironicallyfit518 Thanks, it looks really pretty! My skin tone is more light to medium with neutral undertones. So I might check out the darker shades!
Alwayyysss Love love loveeee me some Andrea! + i dont want this to bother you (cuz everyone had a way of turning stuff to negative things) but not in our lovely community we have in here ig! U look extra gorgeous recently i can’t point out what exactly and if ur hair is a bit lighter than before! also u look skinnier too! Sorry for the long explanation tho its giving 2024 energy lol But yh u always look pretty specially with this season cool tones! Bought my huda beauty palette because of u cuz girl u wear it SO WELL !!!! And im enjoying it and recreating all ur looks! Keep it up sweetheart❤❤❤
Thank you so much for such a kind comment! 💗 I’ve been focusing on my health for the last 6 months so I appreciate you being so sweet! 🥰 I am SO glad to hear you’re loving that palette! It really is so gorgeous and unique. I hope your week is off to a great start so far!
Great video, and you look beautiful. Do you have a dupe for the Natasha Denona concealer? I'm starting to get wrinkles, have dark circles, and my eyes water alot. I'd love any recommendations.....I don't wear foundation. Thank you
This is my favorite video to watch every time I go on Sephora website prices keep on going up on some brands . Can anyone tell me what is a good dupe for hourglass loose veil powder
Honestly, I feel like the elf Halo Glow loose powder is really close! When I tried it years ago, I ended up decluttering my Hourglass powder because I liked elf better. 🙌
Amazon has them for $9ish if you dont want to spend the $35 for free shipping, but honestly so easy to do with Moira as ALL the products top notch! Merit like blushes….Amazing
I love the new Milani primer because it’s so smoothing and it feels cooling when you put it on, but I think it might be breaking me out! I’ve only used it a few times and I’ve gotten clogged pores and white heads around my neck and chin immediately after. Anyone else have that issue?
I’m new to your channel! 😅 and I’m sure you already made a video about this but HOW DO YOU GET THAT HAIR COLOR??? It’s a beautiful dark burgundy! I have dark brown hair with red tones already but I’m looking to darken the red while still keeping it brown…. If that makes sense?
I actually just tried a new shade! It’s Garnier BR1! I like it because it’s pretty dark but the red tones are more vibrant than some of the other shades I’ve tried. I always start with the top layer so it’s on there the longest and that helps to brighten up the pieces you see the most and then the pieces underneath stay a little darker. I will say this dye really stained my scalp BRIGHT red for like three days so just be careful if you try it! 😅
You do a great job and your hard work shows in your videos. I don’t mind the longer videos…I never feel like you’re too wordy. Yet i appreciate the information and how you often share comparisons to products.
I’ve never seen anyone on YT be as concise and knowledgeable as you. You’re an absolute gem!
@@wandarose9687 she's great love her!! I love people who compare the expensive to poor cause when you boil down the ingredients they can be very similar!!

That means so much to me! Thank you so much for watching my videos!
Girl, it is your channel. Talk as much as you want. We appreciate how thorough you are.
Love these vids cause im broke
😂😂😂perfect.
Everything is so expensive these days. 😭
Buying expensive makeup makes everyone broke ❤ drugstore is the best

I love these vids because wasting money is really just wasting time and who wants to do either of those things!
Very true! Life is so busy and everything is so expensive these days. Thank you so so much for watching! 🥰
I see the Milani primer in the thumbnail…I’ve been really wanting to try that!
It really is such a good primer! 😍 One of the best I’ve tried in years!
Oooh right on time, I was looking for something to watch 🥰
And your hair, eyeshadow, blouse and makeup in general looks great! Those colors really suit you :)
Oh thank you! That’s so nice of you! 🥰
Andrea undercover, verifying what we all know, that drugstore is great.
Have you tried the new Colourpop primer? I’m curious how it compares to the Milani primer you mentioned in this video. Great content!

I am obsessed with the elf palette! I have several neutral palettes that I adore... and this one is a current favorite!
I am so glad to hear that you love it so much! I feel like they really did such a great job with the formula!
You’re so pretty. Black really looks good on you. 😊 Your makeup looked stunning in this video.

I bought the Nude Mood Elf palette and it’s amazing! I’ve been grabbing it over all my high end eye makeup.
I've had the nude mood for years and it is beautiful! Going coconuts is also gorgeous. I recently wanted something more cool and got That's Taule, which is also good quality with beautiful cooler mattes and stunning foily shades
I have Going Coconuts, it's great❤
Thanks for giving us the quantity of the products. Not many ppl do that, and I find it very helpful ❤
I’m so glad! Thank you so much for your feedback! 🥰
These were all spot on dupes. Wow! Great job with these. So impressed.
Ahhh thank you! I really appreciate you watching!
I wanted to love the new Elf drops but they made me break out in welts! The glow recipe one does that too. The Nyx one is safe, so I'll continue using that.
Oh no! 😭 I’m glad you were at least able to tell what was causing it so you knew what to avoid!

Girl I love your “ramblings” 😂 Your videos and you are just the best! I’ve always loved all the products I’ve picked up from your recommendations😊
You should try the essence liquid blush it is really similar to the Charlotte Tilbury blush
The color pop balm in birthday cake to me smells better than the oh vanilla from summer rfridays and I have both !
🙌 It really does smell so good! Do you find the ColourPop formula to be a dupe?
You do such a great job explaining the products! I really appreciate the fact you go as in depth as you do as I know it's a lot of work with the swatches, editing etc ❤❤
Thank you for leaving such a kind comment! I really appreciate you taking the time out of your day to watch my video. It really does mean so much!
Thank You! Once again Andréa. I always buy high end, but with the economy I need to start saving. Those are great alternatives, and I can honestly say, I trust your judgment! ❤
That means so much to me, thank you! If you try any of these alternatives, you will definitely have to let me know! 💗
@@AndreaMatillano I absolutely will, for sure thanks! ❤️

Thank you for this video.
Your eye look is stunning.
Sent with tons of love.
Appreciate your honest and thorough reviews. You are so informative.
Just got the Color Pop Lip balm 👌🏼
I hope you love it! I can’t stop wearing mine!
Just added ALL these to my list to buy through the year!!! ❤❤

I hope you love it! I’ve honestly been so impressed! 😍
@@AndreaMatillano I love that you did side by side eye looks, they look IDENTICAL!
I've been trying to get into some cool toned palettes even though I'm a warm toned complexion gal. Going to try the elf palette on your rec, thanks. 😊
You’re having an A+++ hair and makeup day! 😘
Oh thank you so much! 🥰 That’s so nice of you!
I love your videos! You do such a great job!💕 Thank you!
So excited for this also I'd love a video review of drugstore / cheap amazon makeup brushes? Idk just something
Your makeup looks GREAT today! So pretty!
Thank you! That’s so nice of you! 💗
Your hair looks amazing. Love the mix of colors, and it’s so flattering for your skin tone.
That is so nice of you! Thank you so much!
Love your videos 🥰 dont change a thing!
I love how in detail you are honestly. Ik it's time consuming and extra for you but I appreciate every minute you put into your videos!! I want to try the Milani smoothing primer but it's been sold out on Ulta for awhile it feels like.
It’s available on Amazon right now if you mean the new Milani purple blurring primer.
@Lesaly yes I do. Thank you
Such a helpful video. Great information and demonstrations. Thank you😊❤️🥰😘
Love the video and hair color is beautiful on you!!!
I immediately clicked off this video and went and bought the elf Mario palette dupe! 😍 I’ve been eyeing that Mario palette and wishing I could have gotten it for so long. So excited that I can get the same cool tone looks for a much better price! 😊
I hope you love it! I was honestly so surprised by how similar they were on the eyes! I almost think the elf matte formula is better too. 🙌
Your makeup looks so gorgeous

Thanks for being here! 🥰 I appreciate you!
This is going to be a good one 💙💛❤💚💜

The Mco beauty bronzer/contour wand (dupe for CT) is stunnnning as is their stick blush which is a dupe for Westman Atelier.
Love your content. 😊

$30 for a singular eyeshadow colour that doesnt even perform that well??? crazy!
Really think you look gorgeous in this video! I just received my Elf eye palette . Hope I can do it justice.
Any contour powder recommendations or tip to choose the right color? I'm trying to find one but I'm not sure what color I should go for.
