With regard to Mac Vs Pixie creams, the Pixie is a cruelty free product and I was looking for a dupe for the Mac strobe cream as Mac is no longer cruelty free. Thank you!
Nicola Fitzgerald yes! I only shop cruelty free and a lot of youtubers like products that are still cruelty free and most of her dupes are and I'm so happy. 😊
Nicola Fitzgerald Why do people make such a big deal about cruelty free I honestly don't care I will still purchase mac and any other brands that do test on animals If you care so much about the animals why don't you adopt some
How do you know that people don't? I work with animals every single day and find them homes. And I care because there is no reason for companies to test on animals, except because it's cheaper and they want to sell in China, who requires animal testing. People make a big deal about it because it's sickening. Also, the animals commonly used in labs are mice, rabbits and dogs. Beagle Freedom Project goes into the companies and rescues the animals. They've lived their entire lives in cages and are injected with toxins until they slowly die. It's horrible and if you don't care, you need to re-evaluate your life.
I know you don't want to do tutorials but it would be fun to see you do one on how you do your everyday makeup! You do such a beautiful job and I think all of your loyal subscribers would enjoy it! Please consider!
Jessica, Tati tagged you to the 10$ per product make up challenge! (She put everyone she tagged in the description box and you were there!) Can you do it?
I personally don't care if different people mention dupes more often, in my opinion it just means that it is actually a good dupe, sometimes it's hard to see in a video if they are really the same and sometimes one person says it's a dupe and another says it isn't and if it is mentioned by many people it is probably a great dupe :) if you get what I mean (I am German and sometimes it's hard to express what I want to say 😅😅😅)
I watch her videos all day long! When I'm laying my daughter down for a nap, I put my headphones on and relax! I started watching your dollar store videos, and you have quickly become my #1youtube artist! Thank you for sharing with us!!!
Jessica, thank you for all the help. I'm a 36 yr old mama of 4 and I just started to wear makeup. I don't have enough money to buy high end. This is where you have come in and helped me so much.
I purchased the ELF Gotta Glow Lip Tint in Perfect Pink. It is great. Goes on light and darkens just as she demonstrated. It is smooth as silk on the lips. Love it! Thanks, Jess!
I need to revisit that ELF balm, I've used it as a primer and didn't love it but maybe on top of makeup it could work! I have been loving that essence liner too, seriously such a gem!!
Thank you so much for making videos like this! Your videos are my favorite to watch. I'm going back to school full time so I'm going from being a Sephora/Ulta addict to searching out drugstore options to save money. I bought the Butter Bronzer in Light and LOVE it! It gets tiring watch all the beauty bloggers/vloggers review the same crazy expensive products that most of us in the real world can't afford and don't get sent for review lol
Ooh I've been lusting after the YSL balm forever..I am so glad for the ELF dupe! I agree about the Butter Bronzer. It really is the best I've ever used. I actually use the darker one because it looks more cool toned without being a ton darker on my fair skin, but I think you can't go wrong with either shade, they are both gorgeous!
I caught three on clearance at Target! I kept one and gave some toy son's h.s. friends. I usually don't wear eyeliner pens like those, but I love that the swatches stayed on until I used a wipe to take it off.
I like that you showed the mac strobe cream dupe even tho they are close in price because then you get a cruelty free option. So I'm glad you showed it and it'd be cool to show more dupes even if they're the same price if one is cruelty free!
Loved this! Obsessed! Although I would have loved this to be an actual try on so you put them both on your face so we can acctually see how comparable they are
Seriously, I dont know how you dont have millions of subs. You are by far, one of my most fav beauty vloggers. You are so sincere and helpful. You really are wonderful. Please do MORE videos like this as well as reviews! (I know the beginning of the school year is busy but we miss you).
Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 Can you tell me what's the name of the dresser to the right if you in this video I've been looking for that dresser forever
Finally picked up the ELF mattifying balm on your recommendation. I absolutely love it. You were right it looks so much better than packing on more powder.
Thanks for the tip re: Butter Bronzer vs. Milk Chocolate Soleil! I'm quite fair, and I've been putting off buying the Milk Chocolate because Butter Bronzer works so well - good to see I don't need both.
Jessica, your skin has been looking flawless in your last few videos! Can you do a current favorites or an everyday makeup drawer soon? Love your videos!
Just discovered your channel and I appreciate your hard work in finding these dupes. I also admired your makeup. It was so natural looking that it allowed your beauty to shine through.
I love it when I get the notification that you've posted a new video. Your by far my favorite TH-camr. I just love your personality and you truthfulness and the fact you always think about us makeup junkies on a budget! I've been watching you for years! Keep up the amazing work!!
love dupe and declutter video's...... i have gone from spending so much money in makeup every payday to not buying makeup at all or heading to the drug store instead of Ulta or Sephora....... i appreciate the time you take to help us save money.......thank you !!!
+Amy Black as an employee of rite aid for a few years, we have new makeup sales every week. the sales always end on Saturday nights, and new ones are always ushered in on sundays. Maybelline and Revlon often have sales at the same time and Neutrogena and Almay are often on sale at the same time. Also, when makeup goes on sale as Buy one Get on 50%, the next week it will almost always be on sale as 40% off or 25% off. Hope these tips help in your shopping!
Working at Rite Aid one summer is totally what got me into makeup! Spent a lot of time straightening up the cosmetics displays & then spent a lot of my paycheck on the makeup, haha. The discount was a plus!
This was a great video! And seeing how genuinely excited you are about the more affordable options often being the better ones made me excited to try them. 😊 thank you!!
Loved these! I had heard of a few , but some were new to me, and love the confirmation anyways!! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch💕
So thankful for the video. I almost bought the Mally Cosmetics product that is just like the YSL one you mentioned. $45.00! I came so close... You saved me so much money with the ELF product!! Love your videos and your bright, friendly, upbeat attitude!!!
I just discovered the PF butter bronzer & gurlll. I fell IN LOVE!!! the buttery creamy yummy smell. ughh can't believe how amazing it is!!! love dupes!! thank you soooo much!😘
Thank you SO much for the YSL! I got mine through Influenster as well and also used the similar Stila product that was discontinued. I'm going to buy the E.L.F. for sure. The YSL really helped my oily skin and you're right it gets gross looking after awhile! I'd never pay $55 for it!
About the Essence Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen, I love that eyeliner, once it starts to dry out you can pull the felt tip nub out and turn it around, it is pointy on both ends, and it will be pretty much as good as new. The pen I am currently using I have made last for a lot longer than I expected by turning the nub around. I know I have mentioned this about the eyeliner on someone's video before but I don't remember who, sorry if I have already shared this here.
Hey Jess, I purchased the loreal amber rush after you talked about it in one of your videos and I am absolutely loving it. I find I use it or the iced latte one more than any other shadow I own.
I an now convinced I need the butter bronzer in my life! I'm pretty sure they're even having a sale at rite aid right now buy one get one free! Thanks Jess and I love your channel!
I had no idea it was a dupe for anything, but it is absolutely amazing! If I had to pick one bronzer to use for the rest of my life it would be that one. And this is coming from someone who has an admittedly ridiculous amount of makeup. Just go buy it. You'll fall in love I guarantee it.
Yep. every Sunday i look to see Rite Aid sales first. love 40% off. I have the med/dark. Still too light for me but i love the way it feels so i still use it.
Physicians is on sale 40%. Hurry though!! Sales normally end on Sundays. Working at Rite Aid, these are the only sales I tend to know about haha. I'm the facilitator of my Rite Aid's beauty Dept.
Definitely one that is well worth all the hype!!! FYI, the shade names are quite nonsensical/ confusing. Both shades are great, & both are on the lighter side of the spectrum, but the difference between the two is not so much that one is darker & the other lighter but that their tones are different. The shade "light bronzer" is warmer, albeit still not overly so & not at all orange! The shade " bronzer", on the other hand, is more neutral in tone..the cooler of the two options but not really cool but neutral. I have & like both, & the difference between them, when applied lightly, is not huge; that said my favorite, & the one that I am beyond in LOVE with, is the more neutral "bronzer" shade. (FWIW I'm very fair w/ neutral to slightly warm undertones.) I'm sure you'll be happy w/ either but just wanted you to have the correct info to help you choose (as the names are NOT helpful AT ALL, & very few reviewers/ videos have both & thus have no idea how confusing the shade names are!)
Girl I just watched this video and another one about dupes for makeup and you just helped me sooo much 😫💖💖 I'm just starting makeup and thank you a billion times 😍✨
That's awesome, thanks. My Tarte has been running low and I've been cringing at the thought of buying a new one because of the price tag. But so far it has been the best undereye concealer I've found-so glad to add another (non bank breaking) one to my collection.
Touché de eclat or the elf product reminds me of Mallys face defender which is clear like Elfs and sets the makeup with a mattifying clear product you just pat on! Now she sells it in the boost version which is a universal one which is more for summer skin where your tan might be evident! I personally liked the clear better but definately will try Elfs since Mallys runs about $32! Thx Jessica!
Loved this one! Will definitely be trying some of these. I am finding especially with ELF - they have great products! Love saving so I can afford a nice high end palette or something else special now and then!
There are quite a few of those mattifying balms, Stila has one, Mally has one, and there are more. They seem great at first. They mattify and minimize pores and seem great, but after very little time, like a half hour, your face looks even more oily and your pores seem even bigger than before. Their effects just don't last and they end up having the opposite effect that you want. Their best use is for short term, like for pictures.
Don't worry about repeating products more than once. That way we know it really is something good, not just sponsored. (Not you, but anyone new to your channel might not know) BTW, I'm a pretty long time subscriber, but my name said Henry. I'm finally CLAUDETTE! I don't have to keep telling everyone. I watch your videos over and over, and use them to make my wish list. Keep doing what you're doing darlin. It's working!
I don't have designer make up yet I think I'm going to start purchasing next month but this video really helped me so thank you so much and I really like your Alex 9 drawer system
Thanks for the info, I also bought the essence liner and I love it as well, but my pen dried out in just 2 weeks, but for the price u can buy one every week and still save.
I love the Butter Bronzer - I use it almost everyday. My skin is super light porcelain/fair. It just gives me a life like look, not 'bronzed'. I picked up several when they were buy one, get one free.
I totally love these dupe vids and these were especially awesome! There were a bunch I've never heard before. I also love both bronzers too faced and physicians formula. For me, the physicians formula is actually a little bit creamier almost than the too faced? Which I actually love. Awesome video Jess!
just wanted to throw out there it was really good marketing to mention that you do dupe videos every so often, you mainly focus on drugstore and encouraging people to subscribe. usually people just say "subscribe" or follow somewhere else. i like to know what i'm signing up for. good video!
when you busted out the stila pen, I was like WHAAAAAT! That's my fave. woohoo! great job on this dupes video, Jessica!... runs to ulta for essence one to try...🏃🏃🏃🏃😍😍
One of the best/most helpful dupes videos I've seen! I like how you picked a wider variety of products and not just like "dupes of eyeshadow palettes" :P
Thank you for doing a thorough testing of the dupes! A lot of recent videos I've seen, are more of a first impressions kind of video and it's really not a true dupes video. Also, I love your makeup in this video. You look very youthful and fresh - almost like you had work done in the did she/didn't she kind of way.
I have that Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer as well, along with many other high end prestige bronzers, and I can honestly say that one is great and smells really good, plus it doesn't break me out so that is a plus!! I'm a freelancer, been in the beauty industry for about 9 yrs now. And Mally Cosmetics has a similer clear mattifier, hands down best product ever!!! It is called the Face Defender!!! You should totally look into that one!!!😉
Yes, that's who it's intended for most! That said, it's great for those who aren't super oily too. I haven't tried the elf - or the YSL - but Mally has a similar product as well & I have heard that from some w/ more oily skin that the mally works better than the elf. I picked up the mally during last year's 21 days of beauty @ ULTA & in addition to working well as a touch up product it also is fab as a pore-filling primer (which, as a more normal to dry skinned gal, is actually my favorite way to use it).
Love your dupes more than anybody else's😍 I really value your dupe-inion and trust your dupendations 😂😂 and you're so right we need some more new undiscovered dupes!
Giirrrlllll, you're just now discovering the Essence liner?? I am way behind in your vids, so I just now got a chance to watch. First, thank you for the work and research you put into this! Now, I found that essence liner probably 3 yrs ago now, and it's become one of my staples!! I used the Lancome kohl liner for almost 20 yrs...since I was a sophomore in college. I have hooded eyes, so it always transferred. I tried other liquid liners over the years, but they were all too difficult to work with. The Essence is amazing, like you said, doesn't budge!! Awesome video, thanks so much!
With regard to Mac Vs Pixie creams, the Pixie is a cruelty free product and I was looking for a dupe for the Mac strobe cream as Mac is no longer cruelty free. Thank you!
Oh thank you!!
Yay cruelty free!!!

you do it?
yes Jessica do it :)
Yes please do it 😊
please do it 🤗
I love that you choose things that were not the main stream moral products. thank you!
normal= moral

Nah you're 100% right to me
Genau!
Yeeeeees
Yes!! I was thinking the same WAY!! Your English is fine!!

Can u please do a review on Pacifica, 100% pure or other natural makeup
they have amazing BB creams!!
Yes please! I'm trying to transition to more natural products!
Thank you so much for making videos like this! Your videos are my favorite to watch.

That elf mattifying balm works so well! Love it under makeup the best.
How do you apply it
I just use my finger and pat/rub it on my t-zone. Then put my makeup on as normal.
Ooh I've been lusting after the YSL balm forever..I am so glad for the ELF dupe! I agree about the Butter Bronzer. It really is the best I've ever used. I actually use the darker one because it looks more cool toned without being a ton darker on my fair skin, but I think you can't go wrong with either shade, they are both gorgeous!
I've been watching your videos for HOURS today while I pack up my room for a move on Friday. Such entertaining and soothing video, love you Jess!
Some of theses dupes are cruelty free for brands that aren't too! So that's a good option as well :)
Cool input!! I'm not a cruelty free fanatic, but every little bit helps.
i love love love the elf lip glow! gives the lips such a nice pinky touch!
That essence eyeliner is gold ! thanks for the dupe alert !!
I caught three on clearance at Target! I kept one and gave some toy son's h.s. friends. I usually don't wear eyeliner pens like those, but I love that the swatches stayed on until I used a wipe to take it off.
I love how enthusiastic you are in this video! It makes it more enjoyable to watch! Thanks!

I love the NYX gotcha covered concealer! Its so good I wear it every day, it seems oily but just set it with a powder and its great
love dupe and declutter video's......
i have gone from spending so much money in makeup every payday to not buying makeup at all or heading to the drug store instead of Ulta or Sephora.......
i appreciate the time you take to help us save money.......thank you !!!
I love the stilla eyeliner as well. Went out to the gym and when I was done my eyeliner is still there. Thank you so much.
Soooooo happy about the stila liner dupe!!! Now I won't be broke every time I run out of eyeliner lol😻💋
Love how many cruelty free products you used in this video ❤️❤️
Thank you, this was extremely helpful! I'm on an extremely tight budget so this has been great!
I like to see what Rite Aid has on sale on Sundays. they sometimes do a 40% off on certain lines. That's when I buy PF products.
+Amy Black as an employee of rite aid for a few years, we have new makeup sales every week. the sales always end on Saturday nights, and new ones are always ushered in on sundays.

Hailey T I didn't know these things! I got my Physicians Formula eye booster pen buy on get one free there!
+Hailey T Oh damn.... Gotta apply to work at Rite Aid lol.
Working at Rite Aid one summer is totally what got me into makeup! Spent a lot of time straightening up the cosmetics displays & then spent a lot of my paycheck on the makeup, haha. The discount was a plus!
I've used the essence eyeliner for years and it's incredible!!! I swim and it even stays on through 3 hour practices☺️
you should do Jaclyn Hill's ride or die makeup tag!!
Please! But please never, ever say ride or die!
yea I don't really like that term either 😂
It's just so overused in these tags. Ugh. Hahaa
i was thinking that too!!
I love that you preach what you speak!!💯💯💯
This was a great video! And seeing how genuinely excited you are about the more affordable options often being the better ones made me excited to try them. 😊 thank you!!
Loved these! I had heard of a few , but some were new to me, and love the confirmation anyways!! You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels to watch💕
So thankful for the video. I almost bought the Mally Cosmetics product that is just like the YSL one you mentioned. $45.00! I came so close... You saved me so much money with the ELF product!! Love your videos and your bright, friendly, upbeat attitude!!!
I just love your videos! So easy to watch right to the point and no drama. Off to the drugstore I go!
I love when you do these videos. I soooo appreciate them. Girl on a budget
I just discovered the PF butter bronzer & gurlll. I fell IN LOVE!!! the buttery creamy yummy smell. ughh can't believe how amazing it is!!! love dupes!! thank you soooo much!😘
Still vs Essence liner is a must try for me too!! Girl! I love the stills one! Can't wait to try it.
Love you and your videos...the tempo of your voice and tone so easy to listen...detailed and honest thank you!!
Thank you SO much for the YSL! I got mine through Influenster as well and also used the similar Stila product that was discontinued. I'm going to buy the E.L.F. for sure. The YSL really helped my oily skin and you're right it gets gross looking after awhile! I'd never pay $55 for it!
You need to try the Loreal Lumi Primer...I think that it is like both the Pixie and Mac strobe cream...and it is like 10.00!
Bless you for this good work.
About the Essence Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner Pen, I love that eyeliner, once it starts to dry out you can pull the felt tip nub out and turn it around, it is pointy on both ends, and it will be pretty much as good as new.

I know I have mentioned this about the eyeliner on someone's video before but I don't remember who, sorry if I have already shared this here.
Liked it before I watched it because I LOVE dupe videos! Makeup investigation is so much fun!
Hey Jess, I purchased the loreal amber rush after you talked about it in one of your videos and I am absolutely loving it. I find I use it or the iced latte one more than any other shadow I own.
You are so awesome and happy in this video! I just finished it and your energy is contagious! Glee!
I an now convinced I need the butter bronzer in my life! I'm pretty sure they're even having a sale at rite aid right now buy one get one free! Thanks Jess and I love your channel!
You need it..

I just ran out of my Too Faced bronzer and I love it sooooo much. I'm going to try the PF dupe and see if it can live up to how much I love TF.
Okay I'm buying all of these things now.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious!
BTW, your skin looks B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L in this video - radiant and ethereal. xx
I really like the ELF HD Mattifying Balm!! It's wonderful! I got one for my best friend too.
That's awesome, thanks. My Tarte has been running low and I've been cringing at the thought of buying a new one because of the price tag. But so far it has been the best undereye concealer I've found-so glad to add another (non bank breaking) one to my collection.

Amber Rush is hands down my favorite eyeshadow drugstore and high end
Loved this one! Will definitely be trying some of these. I am finding especially with ELF - they have great products! Love saving so I can afford a nice high end palette or something else special now and then!
I bought Essence Eyeliner Pen in Waterproof a month ago. Love it! Thanks for sharing.
Jessica, I love your hair in this vid. And this green is so pretty with your complexion! You just look amazing. As always, but especially today!
Your makeup looks amazing here, so natural and fresh!
My daughter lives by that Stila eyeliner. I'm getting her that Essence one soon!
There are quite a few of those mattifying balms, Stila has one, Mally has one, and there are more. They seem great at first.

totally getting that elf mattifying balm and the essence liner 😍😍
I love that shade in Amber Rush
I don't have designer make up yet I think I'm going to start purchasing next month but this video really helped me so thank you so much and I really like your Alex 9 drawer system
Love this types of videos, I love watching them. 🤗🤗
Thanks for the info, I also bought the essence liner and I love it as well, but my pen dried out in just 2 weeks, but for the price u can buy one every week and still save.
Mally has a clear product that mattifys your makeup and it sets it! Higher end dupe for YSL and elf mattifier. It's great!
I love the Butter Bronzer - I use it almost everyday. My skin is super light porcelain/fair. It just gives me a life like look, not 'bronzed'. I picked up several when they were buy one, get one free.
I use that butter bronzer everyday! I love the way it smells
I totally love these dupe vids and these were especially awesome! There were a bunch I've never heard before. I also love both bronzers too faced and physicians formula. For me, the physicians formula is actually a little bit creamier almost than the too faced? Which I actually love. Awesome video Jess!
I love the l'oréal amber rush
I love your videos! The amber rush is my favorite eye pigment to use. It is truly a game changer.
Yay someone's finally mentioning the Essence eyeliner! It really is such a great product
I love how you test them for quality. I hate it when it is based only on color. Thank you
thanks Jessica I'm going to try the nyx concealer
just wanted to throw out there it was really good marketing to mention that you do dupe videos every so often, you mainly focus on drugstore and encouraging people to subscribe. usually people just say "subscribe" or follow somewhere else. i like to know what i'm signing up for. good video!
I love your dupes videos. Would really like if you did a demonstration of these products? As in watching you apply them
when you busted out the stila pen, I was like WHAAAAAT! That's my fave. woohoo! great job on this dupes video, Jessica!... runs to ulta for essence one to try...🏃🏃🏃🏃😍😍
One of the best/most helpful dupes videos I've seen! I like how you picked a wider variety of products and not just like "dupes of eyeshadow palettes" :P
I just bought L'oréal Infallible in Amber Rush because of you and I LOVE it! Thanks!!
I love the Stila liner. I need to try the essence now. thank you!!
Love the butter bronzer!
Thank you for doing a thorough testing of the dupes! A lot of recent videos I've seen, are more of a first impressions kind of video and it's really not a true dupes video. Also, I love your makeup in this video. You look very youthful and fresh - almost like you had work done in the did she/didn't she kind of way.
I have that Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer as well, along with many other high end prestige bronzers, and I can honestly say that one is great and smells really good, plus it doesn't break me out so that is a plus!! I'm a freelancer, been in the beauty industry for about 9 yrs now. And Mally Cosmetics has a similer clear mattifier, hands down best product ever!!! It is called the Face Defender!!! You should totally look into that one!!!😉
can oily skin girl use elf mattifing balm?
That's the point of it ....😑
Yes, that's who it's intended for most! That said, it's great for those who aren't super oily too. I haven't tried the elf - or the YSL - but Mally has a similar product as well & I have heard that from some w/ more oily skin that the mally works better than the elf. I picked up the mally during last year's 21 days of beauty @ ULTA & in addition to working well as a touch up product it also is fab as a pore-filling primer (which, as a more normal to dry skinned gal, is actually my favorite way to use it).
I'm super oily, I'll have to check it out!
Love your dupes more than anybody else's😍 I really value your dupe-inion and trust your dupendations 😂😂 and you're so right we need some more new undiscovered dupes!
I'm so early! Love you Jessica & loooove dupes!
Thanks Carolyn!
+Jessica Braun | JAMbeauty89 yes love your dupes videos, please keep searching for those of us on a budget! Lol it's greatly appreciated! 👏🏻

I really love ur hair straighter!!
OOOOO CANT WAIT TO TRY THE ELF CONCEALER!!! THE TARTE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVS!!!
Thanks for all the dupes. I'm new to the makeup world. 😬 new addition 🙌🏼💄💸
I love the Essence waterproof liner!!
Giirrrlllll, you're just now discovering the Essence liner?? I am way behind in your vids, so I just now got a chance to watch. First, thank you for the work and research you put into this! Now, I found that essence liner probably 3 yrs ago now, and it's become one of my staples!! I used the Lancome kohl liner for almost 20 yrs...since I was a sophomore in college. I have hooded eyes, so it always transferred. I tried other liquid liners over the years, but they were all too difficult to work with. The Essence is amazing, like you said, doesn't budge!! Awesome video, thanks so much!
