I just want to say I just love you to pieces! Im old enough to be your mom…I’m 55…but I thoroughly enjoy your content. I love the newer direction your channel is going. It’s evolved with you & is so well balanced. A little makeup, lifestyle, faith (❤) and family..love it! Been watching you since before Gigi so I’ve seen your ups/downs & I feel so proud (even though we are strangers😂) of the wonderful young woman you are. It’s been great to watch you grow. I don’t comment often, but I just wanted to compliment you today. Hope you have a great weekend! ❤
Well said @Pamela-B. I'm 59 and also enjoy Jessica's videos; a little bit of everything for everyone. I've been watching for about 7 years, and have enjoyed watching Jessie grow and mature. Keep them coming Jessica.
Jessica! I love you, and I love dupes! I’m always looking to save money whenever I can: to me, saving more = ability to buy more (I was NOT a math major 🤣) Usually dupes are better deals, but with cream bronzers, seems to me they can be misleading. I just did a few comparisons based on info from Sephora and Ulta… Nars: @ $40/.67oz Juvia’s: @ $18/.30oz Milani: @ $13/.21oz Mario Enhancer: @ $32/.18oz Best values are (imo): Saie: $32/1 full oz. ABH: $35/1 full oz.
110% agree on Thrive Mascara and elf knock mascara being the same and working equally as well as the other. I love the undertone of the Nars Laguna bronzer - that gray undertone works really well on lighter skin, like yours and mine.
Sincerely thank you for just being so honest. I love saving money but use of my hands is limited, so sometimes I need those extra few seconds of hand use and pain. ❤ *editing to add, in the 90’s besides the L’Oreal primer+tubing mascara. We would actually put the tubing mascara on the back of lashes (eye lid side) then immediately the front, it built up so nicely this way and avoided the multi layer issue. A boy in my drama class had a mom who was a beautician and he actually taught me that. ❤
Ok, ok, okayyy. Listen, after going back and forth for months about whether or not to try the NARS Laguna bronzer, I ordered it. I just got it in the mail and I must say, your recommendation did not disappoint! The color, the finish, the coverage, how it blends and builds, it’s the best. I like it more than the bronzer’s from Westman Atelier, Nudestix, and Milanil. At the end of the day, it is a $40 bronzer and there are really great less expensive options, but I think this item is worth it!
The elf pout clout’s are some you need to try. They are a closer dupe to the tarte Maracuja juicy lips. Both in the slight minty tingle and the juicy glossy nature of it.
Mixing the Rare Beauty soft Pinch blush with liquid highlighter is the BEST tip ever!!! It makes the most beautiful glow blush color. I have several shades of this blush and a liquid highlighter I got in a subscription box that I did not care for but it works great with the liquid blushes!! Thanks, Jess!! You saved the day again! ❤😊
This is my favorite video to watch , I like the idea is that drugstore makeup has come along way also the products compare to high end , not every one can afford the expensive products , that includes myself . Thank you Jessica
I tried the elf mascara on your recommendation and I’m loving it! I also love the thrive one but it’s not easy to order and is definitely more pricey so I’m happy to have the Elf as an alternative. I have found so many great products based on your recommendations so keep them coming. Thanks Jess!!
I gotta say the serum stuff by cover girl has changed my entire make up routine! I love that stuff!!! It’s simple and easy! I purchased it after the first time you used it! I’m definitely keeping it on rotation! Thank Jess!
We love you, Jess! Thank you for always doing the most for us. I've been here since the beginning, and still to date, my favorite TH-camr. So genuine, and just lovely ❤ Speaking for everyone😊
The nars bronzer is essentially the same price as the milani if you break down the price per ounce, very close! You have finally convinced me I need the bronzer, after all this time!
When I hydrate my skin really well with skincare before applying the Covergirl Essence it feels amazing and seems to last all day even in the Florida humidity! HOWEVER, I feel like every skin tint/foundation lasting is also based on what sunscreen you use underneath as well. I mix the Covergirl with the Australian Gold Botanical Tinted Face Sunscreen SPF 50 for a little more coverage and also lasting power. It's my HG atm!
Have you tried the Elf Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen that rivals the Maracuja one? I've been curious. I have 2 of the Nyx ones and was wondering about the elf one!❤
IMO it's ok...Tarte is way more juicy, but the Elf can be easier to work with. I prefer the Tarte. The NYX is similar to the Elf. Like Jess says "just not as Juicy"!
I like to layer a tubing mascara over my regular mascara. Added length and volume and no flaking! I use the one by Milani. I also picked up the Milani cream bronzer (& blush) and it’s (they’re) great.
The milani highly rated is a dupe for the thrive. I used to always buy thrive, but I wanted something easier to replace that Ulta or Walgreens would always have. It’s SO good.
I agree. I always bought Supergoop glowscreen at a high price and absolutely love it. I can't afford it and tried Elf's Whoa glow sunscreen and eas pleasantly surprised.
I thoroughly enjoy your channel! I’m older too but look a bit younger for my age and still love makeup! What glows primer would you recommend to mix with Rare Beauty or Elf blush? Thanks
I love the flower beauty lip plump product and I go and back-and-forth with that and the Tarte Maracuja. Thank you for enriching my life so much on a regular basis!
I do actually prefer the Nyx slick click because it's not as thick as the tarte however elfs new clicky lip product is almost an exact dupe to the tarte lip plump if anyone is looking for something more similar to that.
I love using my cvs coupons for the higher priced makeup products. And i don't feel the need to hide my shipping from anyone bc the box says cvs 😂 I've bought the covergirl foundation but haven't had a chance to use it. Had a few things going on where I had to leave quickly and forget to pack it. Also, makeup wasn't on my mind, except for your videos of course! Im hesitant to buy any more kosas products bc of them going bad so quickly. Please let us know if it goes bad fast. Thank you for all your beauty research!
I personally like both! They're both good misting sprays. The only thing with the Elf, it gets stuck within the sprayer and I have to tap the bottom on my desk...
I’m all about dupes! Save money or be able to buy makeup, for the glam look and feel for all! Thanks Jess for spending the money and taking the time to do this for us, it is soooo helpful! 💕
I have the Chanel tint (there are 2 a water tint and a foundation) the CG is dupe for the higher coverage not the water tint. they’re literally identical. I own all 3 and you could not tell a difference.
Hi just found your channel. Have you tried the Covergirl Essence against the Chanel one. Same ingredients except the oil that is in Covergirl. Loving the dupe content ❤
Charlotte tilbury contour wand dupe!!! I bought anglicolor contour stick off Amazon for 7.00. I have used it for one week. It is a very good dupe for CT!! Exact same component. Highly recommend.
Both sides are similar in look, appearance and shading. I believe the high end side looks slightly more blended and less patchy, the NARS bronzer looks more natural on your skin tone. The mascara is not my preference type. Overall, there is not a big enough difference in appearance to warrant paying the higher price tag with the exception of the bronzer. Love these types of videos.
I thought you were going to compare the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip with the Elf Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen, that might be a better a dupe. I would love to hear your thoughts as I don’t own the Tarte one and I’m not sure it’s available in the UK ☺️
WEEEEE IM SO EARLY! ❤ haven’t even watched the video yet but just want to say thank you for being my wise older sister for basically a decade now, I admire you so much, you’ve been such a role model and inspiration for me, and I always enjoy ALL of the content you make! Love you girly!!!! ❤
I decluttered my Tarte Juicy Lip Plumping gloss because of the mint. Nothing worse than going out in cold weather with minty lips! Also, I cannot find the video where you mention it... what brand is the pepper you buy from Amazon?
Have you tried the Ulta brand eyeshadow, I tried one for a brow highlight, preferred it over the Mac one I was using, very surprised, but that was just a highlight brow, so not sure how the lid shadows apply, curious to see the other shadows if they are just as pigmented
I believe that the amount of product of the milani cream bronzer is much less than the nars one? So maybe nars is even cheaper if counted in price per gram, I am curious 🧐
I just did a few comparisons based on info from Sephora and Ulta… Nars: @ $40/.67oz Juvia’s: @ $18/.30oz Milani: @ $13/.21oz Mario Enhancer: @ $32/.18oz Best value are: Saie: $32/1 full oz. ABH: $35/1 full oz.
I've really been wanting to try that CoverGirl foundation.. however it's only at 1 place near me and it's 22. I don't wanna pay that much if it's matte.. do u think it's luminous or

Same! 58 and echo all the sentiments!
Me too! 57 and feel exactly the same way ❤
I’d love for you to do an all Elf dupes video. A full face 1/2 Elf and 1/2 what they’ve been duping (there’s gotta be a full face by now) 🙃

Gotta tell you this eye makeup and sweater color look incredible on you! Stunning! 🦄🪻💜

I am loving the Tarte Tarlettte XL Tubing Mascara!!
Can you please link the top you’ve wearing. It’s very pretty and a lovely color. Thank you
I linked it :)

I don‘t know if it‘s because of the shade of the nars bronzer, but I like the right side more. Looks flawless
The nars bronzer is essentially the same price as the milani if you break down the price per ounce, very close! You have finally convinced me I need the bronzer, after all this time!
I NEEEEEEEED these earrings!!! Please help me find them! 😁
Yes please tell us where we can purchase them !
Yes! Want them so badly!

I love that one too! So many people didnt but I do!
Not me watching as soon as I got the notification because I LOVE dupes/comparable product videos!!!
Elf products are amazing and great quality for the price!! I can't live without my elf products!!
I agree. I always bought Supergoop glowscreen at a high price and absolutely love it. I can't afford it and tried Elf's Whoa glow sunscreen and eas pleasantly surprised.
I love the Elf mascara and blushes! ❤elf products are a staple in my collection!

@Jessica Braun what is better the elf setting spray or the Milani setting spray?
I personally like both!
They're both good misting sprays.
The only thing with the Elf, it gets stuck within the sprayer and I have to tap the bottom on my desk...
I’m all about dupes! Save money or be able to buy makeup, for the glam look and feel for all! Thanks Jess for spending the money and taking the time to do this for us, it is soooo helpful! 💕
I love how you actually show things in action. Thank you!
Could you please find an affordable option or dupe for the Kosas Cloud Set Powder?
Tarte does sell non plumping versions of the juicy lip balms I have one and I really like it
Could you list where you got your earrings, love them.
hi lovely 🥰 do you know any similar powder blushes that looks similar to elf dusty rosé? ❤️
Whoo hooo!!! So excited to watch when I get home tonight!
Do you like the sae cream bronzer more than the milani?❤
I love those lights behind you! Where did you get them?
I have the Chanel tint (there are 2 a water tint and a foundation) the CG is dupe for the higher coverage not the water tint. they’re literally identical. I own all 3 and you could not tell a difference.
I love this kind of videos..I’m all for your honest opinion
I would love to know what color shade you use in that cover girl foundation cream?
I’m loving those purple nails! I just did mine yesterday and I was on the fence about pastel purple. Wish I would’ve just done it bc those look great
Ulta brand has a great tubing mascara!! I would recommend it especially with the primer
How does that Milani crème bronzer compare to the Revolution crème bronzer?
The lilac really brings out your skin tone and brown in your eyes and makes everything pop in such a flattering way! 😊❤
Hi just found your channel. Have you tried the Covergirl Essence against the Chanel one. Same ingredients except the oil that is in Covergirl. Loving the dupe content ❤
I wanted to like that covergirl foundation so bad but just didnt work.. i do want to try the bronzers... Jessica what powder bronzer is your fave??
Rough day at work but feeling better after a good dupes video!! I picked up the elf mascara today 😊
Charlotte tilbury contour wand dupe!!! I bought anglicolor contour stick off Amazon for 7.00. I have used it for one week. It is a very good dupe for CT!! Exact same component. Highly recommend.
Maybelline nude glow eyeshadow has been with me since 2004❤❤❤
When you were trying on the different glasses, the first 3 looked really good on you (not that the other looked bad) but those were the best.
Love this series!❤
Love love love the purple! ❤
The Flower Beauty Plump Up Gloss Stick is a dupe for the Tarte. I actually like it better and it's only $12!
Jess! Please try VIEVE cream bronzer!❤❤❤😊
I’m curious about the ELF Pout Clout lip might be a dupe for the Tarte one. I do love the Tarte ones but I haven’t seen the ELF one yet to try it.
Both sides are similar in look, appearance and shading. I believe the high end side looks slightly more blended and less patchy, the NARS bronzer looks more natural on your skin tone. The mascara is not my preference type. Overall, there is not a big enough difference in appearance to warrant paying the higher price tag with the exception of the bronzer. Love these types of videos.
If you have a huda glowish pressed powder dupe, please please please share 🙏 the glowish line is being discontinued
Thanks for the video!
The About Face lip oil is so similar to Tarte! I’m so impressed by their whole line 🫶
Sorry if this is listed but I can't see it - where are your lovely earings from pls??
Thanks Jess very helpful ❤
I thought you were going to compare the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip with the Elf Pout Clout Lip Plumping Pen, that might be a better a dupe. I would love to hear your thoughts as I don’t own the Tarte one and I’m not sure it’s available in the UK ☺️
One of my newly discovered dupes is the newish LA Girl Bouncy Bronzer...haven't reached for my NARS since!
The elf blush reminds me more of the Saie dew blush. Some of the colors are exact shade and finish dupes.
WEEEEE IM SO EARLY! ❤ haven’t even watched the video yet but just want to say thank you for being my wise older sister for basically a decade now, I admire you so much, you’ve been such a role model and inspiration for me, and I always enjoy ALL of the content you make! Love you girly!!!! ❤
Great video, thanks! Several products I’m going to try!
Bought the Nar bronzer. Love the shade and the smell of it. I bought base on your recommendation. Thank you
I had to buy that maybelline eye shadow, totally influenced by you, and I love it!
Purple is your color! Happy Friday! 💜
Maybelline sky high is a great tubing mascara as well.
Agreed elf it's patchy reare beauty 😍 better hate say it because love elf ❤❤ maracas it awesome
Thanks!
Wow that was awfully kind!! Thanks Sarah 🥰🥰🥰
I decluttered my Tarte Juicy Lip Plumping gloss because of the mint. Nothing worse than going out in cold weather with minty lips!
Also, I cannot find the video where you mention it... what brand is the pepper you buy from Amazon?
Love that color on you!
Have you tried the Ulta brand eyeshadow, I tried one for a brow highlight, preferred it over the Mac one I was using, very surprised, but that was just a highlight brow, so not sure how the lid shadows apply, curious to see the other shadows if they are just as pigmented
I believe that the amount of product of the milani cream bronzer is much less than the nars one? So maybe nars is even cheaper if counted in price per gram, I am curious 🧐
Yes, I believe the NARS has about 3 times the amount of product compared to the Milani. So the NARS may actually be cheaper.
I just did a few comparisons based on info from Sephora and Ulta…
Nars: @ $40/.67oz
Juvia’s: @ $18/.30oz
Milani: @ $13/.21oz
Mario Enhancer: @ $32/.18oz
Best value are:
Saie: $32/1 full oz.
ABH: $35/1 full oz.
There is a version of the Tarte juicy lip without the minty plumping aspect, but they are just as juicy and moisturizing.
LOVE your dupes videos!! And I’m going to order glasses from Warby Parker…just checked out their site and love all the options. Thanks Jess! ❤
I've really been wanting to try that CoverGirl foundation.. however it's only at 1 place near me and it's 22. I don't wanna pay that much if it's matte.. do u think it's luminous or
What was the color you used for the elf blush ?
I ❤ the Milani bronzer! I choose it over the CT bronzer almost 100% of the time & I hated the NARS bronzer.
Thank you for the dupes video. I have Rare Beauty blush. It is beautiful. I only need one dot. But it has no staying power on me.
That Elf mascara is really nice....wears well and removes easily. Finally Elf has a product not made in China ( the mascara is made in Germany).
Covergirl essence is $15.99 at my Target!
Wet n wild has a lip and cheek blush similar to elf and rare beauty.
You would looove new Revolution luminous something foundation!
About a week ago the Covergirl Essence stuff was buy one, get one, then some additional flash sale. I got it for $5.
In the UK elf have just released a dupe for the tarte lippies
Elf has a dupe for the Tarte lip. I love your videos.
That Nars bronzer is ride or die. I’ll forego other things to keep in my bag 😉
I think that the Maybelline Nude Glow could be a dupe for Mac All that Glitters!
Where are your earrings from? They’re super cute
Lash extensions in brown is better. thrive flakes
