It’s definitely not your fault if the products aren’t working well. Most of us are dealing with the same challenges (online shade match, disappointing formulas, etc). So it’s important to hear if it may not be worth the purchase. Thanks for “taking one for the team”. 😊
I tend to steer clear of most celebrity brands. I never really felt drawn to this one. The packaging looks cheap for the price point, the vibes are not giving me Ariana Grande at all, and reviews have been mixed to mostly negative on the majority of products. Thanks for taking one (several) for the team on this one!
oh my goodness Jessica, my husband looked over while I was watching this video and says "oh my god, what happened to her face?! Is she sick? she never looks like that!" (With the foundation/concealer before you washed it off) Now I can't stop laughing because the level of concern in his voice was...high
Loving that your hair is darker again! Definately looks better with your skin tone and eyes. Haven't tried any of her makeup and after this video, i don't think i will.
The matte eyeshadows from rem are really pretty. I love blending it all over my eye and crease and then putting a shimmer over it. I also really like the highlighter! I haven’t tried much else from the brand.
I’m so glad you are trying them!! Now idk what you feel yet cuz i’m writing this as i just started the video but let me tell you my holy grail items from R.E.M. the foundation is AMAZING (i’m combo skin), the bullet lipsticks are *chef’s kiss* and the underrated item: the cream blushes that actually work as lipstick too! The powder blushes are also SUPER blurring and recommend those. Also, the plumpers are so lovely i just hate the packaging. And the new lip balm (drip glossy balms) are THE BEST!!!
I’ve tired her perfume and I love it!! Always wondered what the makeup was like but sometimes celeb makeup brands are over rated . You look so gorgeous girly ❤ you look like you did you hair differently !! I love it ❤
It’s a bummer you didn’t like the base products but I definitely get where you’re coming from. Ulta didn’t offer the in between shade so I got one that was a bit light for me, same thing with the concealer. It’s always hard to guess. I’ve used the foundation multiple times now for months, it is definitely hit or miss for me. The foundation definitely brings out any dryness on your skin, I notice flakes of skin by the end of the day. BUT when my face is nicely hydrated and I set it with my Laura mercier in my oilier parts, it looks beautiful! Overall it is a pretty reliable foundation for me. The coverage is pretty good and it photographs well. I do enjoy the concealer, although it can also emphasize dryness as well. I only use a small amount bc it is pretty thick. When the brand first came out I purchased multiple products because I am a big Ari fan, however I definitely over-consumed because I really only use the base products regularly. For some reason I just don’t have the urge to use my eyeshadow palette and lip products from them. But when I do use the lip oil I enjoy it. I feel like some of the lip colors I picked just don’t look great on my lips. They run on the ashy side on me instead of a l nude. For now I really just call it a collection type of situation since I just don’t use it that much but can’t throw them away because they were a little pricey 😂
Jess try her matte liquid shadows, they’re muuuuch better than her shimmer ones. Especially the shade comet is the worst one imo. Other colors are not as bad as that one but the matte ones are where it’s really at! ❤
I know it's probably not fun to do reviews when everything is kind of lame but I so appreciate that honesty. It doesn't mean we won't try any of them but at least I know you're up front about how they work for you. Keep it up!!
Even the stuff you liked it’s like, but is it better than other brands in that price point- rare comes to mind cuz I think they’re both in the lower price point of Sephora type brands & are those products (blush bronzer) better than drugstore ones? Idk… based on your reactions didn’t seem like it. The brand never called to me. I cannot believe the eyeliner!!😳 your nails are BEAUTIFUL!!😍
I actually really love REM foundation! It's like the BB version of Haus Labs. For me, I have to use their primer with it. It's a super watery-silicone that I think helps with texture. Haven't used anything else from them so it was nice to watch!❤
I’m surprised you tried this brand at this point as I have only seen one positive review on one product (lip & cheek stick). The quality and the packaging just don’t seem appealing to me. Glad you found at least a couple of things that might work!
I haven't tried anything, but among those creators I watch the shade Fem-bot for the liquid eyeshadow is raved about. That shade only. The foundation most everyone liked, the concealer everyone hated. The blushes and bronzers are a love, and the highlighter in the Miss Mercury shade particularly. Also, the lipsticks most all liked.
I really like her powder bronzer and blush. I also have a cream eyeshadow, lip liner and lipstick that are ok, nothing special but ok.I haven’t tried any complexion products from REM.
For a great liquid eyeshadow in gorgeous shades that lasts literally all day through sweat / heat / anything, my recommendation is for Gen See mixed media matte and metallic liquid shadows (can also use on cheeks and lips)
So I really do enjoy this brands lip & cheek products the most…the price point is pretty good & wear time is quite good too. It’s the packing & the weight of the products that makes me really happy! Btw the Everything Nice lip balm smells amazing & feels luxurious! Scraping the bottom of the tube rn & definitely getting another! Oh the glosses smells like vanilla…oh & the lip oils are great, they are a lil touch minty. Also the Full Night Sleep cooling eye gel is fantastic!
I use the under eye balm not only under my eyes but also as a face primer, then the concealer in my skin tone, instead of a lighter shade, where I need it. It is really pretty on my skin. I haven’t tried her foundation. Maybe try the concealer that way and see if it works for you.
I’ve heard really good things about the REM cream blush for cheeks and lips and I’ve been dying to get my hands on one for a long time. I do have a lip gloss that looks like the eye gloss packaging, it’s their pumping formula in the shade detention and it’s really nice
You’re missing out on Rhode!!! I am not a fan of Hailey Bieber and I tried her products in spite of the fact that it’s her brand, but her line is incredible and reasonably priced in the market. The Glazing Milk is 🔥🔥🔥!!! Can’t wait to try her blushes, too.
Thanks for testing these products for us! Good to know some if them lack quality. That eyelid gloss I don't get at all... was popular a few years ago, as far as I remember. I would not strive to get "glossy" lids that just would look oily/greasy and creasy. Must be from that hyped "glass skin trend". Not directed to you, Jess, more to the brand creating a - in my opinion - totally unnecessary product. But of course, those who like that look will buy it.
I've tried the Midnight Eyeshadow palette in BabyDoll. I love the neutral colors. I also bought a highlighter for my daughter (the champagne one). I haven't tied anything else. I like the eyeshadow palette.
I’ve used a lot of products from this brand. I think the foundation for me is a hit but I have oily combo, I say try it again but a different shade. The concealer is ok. Try the highlighters they’re good. And I agree that her powder products are good! I heard the cream blushes are great! I like her setting spray as well!
That foundation and concealer would be perfect for Halloween if you want to look ghostly! It was so bad! Seems all the products were mah! You totally worked it out and looked great at the end.
I just realized this and I would like to say that I absolutely love that you jump right into the video and dont have an intro saying hi blah blah blah 😅 thank you for catering to my adhd brain
Poor Jess!!! You gave it a valiant effort!!!! I don't own a single piece of makeup from celebrity brands. Just because they're celebrities doesn't mean they know anything about makeup or what consumers want. Most of them have makeup artists that do their makeup. It's just another cash grab. I'm not saying this to be nasty to Jess!!! I would never try to hurt her feelings!!!
I've tried one thing from her brand and it was a sparkly liquid shadow. I really liked it but it dried up really quickly. The last time I tried to use it it did nothing. Meanwhile I have other liquid shadows I've had longer that are still going strong. Overall just nothing in that brand has really stood out to me over the already overwhelming amount of options out there.
I have only tried one product from the line, a mini 6 pan eyeshadow palette in Babydoll and I really like it. But again, it's the only thing I've tried and that's only because I got it in an Ipsy Boxycharm box I didn't go out and buy it.
The packaging for this brand always gave me Claire's vibes
Cause its not boring beige, white and gold 😂😂😂
@alexandersmith4731 no thank God. That would be even worse lol
The darker hair is your vibe makes your features pop 😊
Totally! I really like it darker
It’s definitely not your fault if the products aren’t working well. Most of us are dealing with the same challenges (online shade match, disappointing formulas, etc). So it’s important to hear if it may not be worth the purchase. Thanks for “taking one for the team”. 😊
Loving your hair darker! It looks so heathy!
Agree!
You’re right! I was too busy looking at make up I didn’t notice but the hair color is gorgeous!
I've honestly never felt compelled to try this brand, and I appreciate when other people try them and report back.
I tend to steer clear of most celebrity brands. I never really felt drawn to this one. The packaging looks cheap for the price point, the vibes are not giving me Ariana Grande at all, and reviews have been mixed to mostly negative on the majority of products.

It's not really negative from what I've seen, hating on a product is still following the trend
Glad we have our sister Jess to to the lords work for us! Thanks Jessie
oh my goodness Jessica, my husband looked over while I was watching this video and says "oh my god, what happened to her face?! Is she sick? she never looks like that!" (With the foundation/concealer before you washed it off) Now I can't stop laughing because the level of concern in his voice was...high
Too funny!! ❤😂🎉
This comment CRACKED me up
HAHAHAHA oh my gosh 😂😂😂 yeah it was notttttt looking right
Darker hair works perfect for you , just my opinion .
Not interested in the REM brand but hats off to you fort giving this line a whirl!!🎉😂
Jessi! Your hair, top,and ear rings look phenomenal!
Agree
I have been leery of this brand and not really sure why? Thank you for trying for us all!
Cause you're afraid Ariana is gonna snatch ur man
Loving that your hair is darker again! Definately looks better with your skin tone and eyes. Haven't tried any of her makeup and after this video, i don't think i will.
Obsessed with the top you’re wearing!!!
Me too but it’s not linked!!!! 😭
"If you're still here...I was so excited to try these products!" ❤😂🎉
I have super oily skin and I finally tried her powder blushes this year. STUNNING. Blurring and stay on all day for me… so rare
The matte eyeshadows from rem are really pretty. I love blending it all over my eye and crease and then putting a shimmer over it. I also really like the highlighter! I haven’t tried much else from the brand.
I also got the highlighter I love it! But that’s the only item I tried from the brand.
oof, i felt the struggle in this one! but i really love the lip color on you, jess!! thanks for this review 🤍
Love the dark hair better for you 😻
I’m so glad you are trying them!! Now idk what you feel yet cuz i’m writing this as i just started the video but let me tell you my holy grail items from R.E.M. the foundation is AMAZING (i’m combo skin), the bullet lipsticks are *chef’s kiss* and the underrated item: the cream blushes that actually work as lipstick too!

The lip color was really pretty on you. Very autumn!!! 💜🍁🍂
Her foundation is SO perfect for a glam type of makeup. It sits so beautiful on the skin and you don’t need a lot either!
Jess try her matte liquid shadows, they’re muuuuch better than her shimmer ones. Especially the shade comet is the worst one imo. Other colors are not as bad as that one but the matte ones are where it’s really at! ❤
I haven't tried anything myself, I have considered the foundation and pot concealer. Now I know they're both a no go, thank u😊❤
this camera set up is gorg 😍😍
Never have tried anything from REM and now I definitely don’t want too 😂
Where is your blouse from?? It looks so cute!☺️
That lip color is stunning on you!
I like their lip liners 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 and the lip oil tastes great
Can you do one with all rare beauty products? Would love to see it before I buy anything haha
Jess idk if you’ve been making your own thumbnails but 🙌🏽🙌🏽 they’ve been looking really good!!
I know it's probably not fun to do reviews when everything is kind of lame but I so appreciate that honesty. It doesn't mean we won't try any of them but at least I know you're up front about how they work for you. Keep it up!!
I liked the under eye primer a lot and their squeeze tube lip gloss!
I like this brand. Everything is pigmented and lasts. And smells good. Too each their own. 😊
Loving your top today! The cut, the color- so flattering on you👍😊
My favorite products from her brand are the powder blushes and the lip glosses 😊
I enjoy the sweetener concealer. Agree though that shade matching is never easy.
Please link your shirt, it’s gorgeous 😍😍
Even the stuff you liked it’s like, but is it better than other brands in that price point- rare comes to mind cuz I think they’re both in the lower price point of Sephora type brands & are those products (blush bronzer) better than drugstore ones? Idk… based on your reactions didn’t seem like it. The brand never called to me. I cannot believe the eyeliner!!😳 your nails are BEAUTIFUL!!😍

I’m so glad you reviewed these products 😊… I’m sure everything will be sent into the declutter bin in a couple of months 😂
I’ve been noticing you using the BK Beauty brushes in a few of your videos and can’t wait to hear which are your favorites!! 👀🤗
I need to know the deets on your shirt! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I love how kind you are in the face of makeup adversity 😂I could tell what you wanted to say but you held back ❤
I appreciate you trying the other products on tried and true base to give us a true review ❤
I’m surprised you tried this brand at this point as I have only seen one positive review on one product (lip & cheek stick). The quality and the packaging just don’t seem appealing to me. Glad you found at least a couple of things that might work!
I haven't tried anything, but among those creators I watch the shade Fem-bot for the liquid eyeshadow is raved about. That shade only. The foundation most everyone liked, the concealer everyone hated. The blushes and bronzers are a love, and the highlighter in the Miss Mercury shade particularly. Also, the lipsticks most all liked.
You tried so hard to like these products. It was cute.
I do love the lip gloss one but in the “purple” color. Learned that from Jen Phelps.
I love y’all so much🥰 I really enjoyed this movie and had noooo idea it was based off of a TV show! That makes me want to find it and watch it 😂
I really like her powder bronzer and blush. I also have a cream eyeshadow, lip liner and lipstick that are ok, nothing special but ok.I haven’t tried any complexion products from REM.
For a great liquid eyeshadow in gorgeous shades that lasts literally all day through sweat / heat / anything, my recommendation is for Gen See mixed media matte and metallic liquid shadows (can also use on cheeks and lips)
Your dress/ top is adorable!
So I really do enjoy this brands lip & cheek products the most…the price point is pretty good & wear time is quite good too. It’s the packing & the weight of the products that makes me really happy! Btw the Everything Nice lip balm smells amazing & feels luxurious! Scraping the bottom of the tube rn & definitely getting another!

I refuse to buy any celebrity make up brand. Sorry not sorry 😂
You’re missing out on Rhode!!! I am not a fan of Hailey Bieber and I tried her products in spite of the fact that it’s her brand, but her line is incredible and reasonably priced in the market. The Glazing Milk is 🔥🔥🔥!!! Can’t wait to try her blushes, too.
Rock on Alicia! 👍
Fenty is the good one.
Yeah I think it's just her. I refuse to buy HER makeup. I don't care how good it makes me look. 😂
P.S. I'm loving you back to darker hair!
At the beginning of the video you look so radiant!!
I’ve been looking hard at the REM blush - haven’t purchased anything from the brand yet so am happy to see your videom
That lip combo is soooo pretty
Thanks for testing these products for us!
Good to know some if them lack quality.
That eyelid gloss I don't get at all... was popular a few years ago, as far as I remember. I would not strive to get "glossy" lids that just would look oily/greasy and creasy. Must be from that hyped "glass skin trend".
Not directed to you, Jess, more to the brand creating a - in my opinion - totally unnecessary product.
But of course, those who like that look will buy it.
I really appreciate your honesty. ❤
Link to the cute top your wearing please 😊
The liquid shadows and brow gel are amazing.
Love that cream shadow color
I've tried the Midnight Eyeshadow palette in BabyDoll. I love the neutral colors. I also bought a highlighter for my daughter (the champagne one). I haven't tied anything else. I like the eyeshadow palette.
Liquid eye shadows from REM are staples for me. The only one that works for my oily eyelids
I have only used one product from this brand, I received the Lunar Magic blurring primer through Ipsy. I loved it enough to purchase.
TRY THE CREAM STICK BLUSH, I LOVEEEEE IT TOO MUCH!
The highlighter is fire!!!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
I’ve used a lot of products from this brand. I think the foundation for me is a hit but I have oily combo, I say try it again but a different shade. The concealer is ok. Try the highlighters they’re good. And I agree that her powder products are good! I heard the cream blushes are great! I like her setting spray as well!
HAUS LABS foundation cleared my acne 😁 it’s the only one I can use for my sensitive skin.
Giggling that you’re giving Twilight vampire with the light foundation shade. 😅
Full face Haus Labs please! 😊
I like the REM highlighter. I hope you like the cheek products❤️
Whatever was in the liquid eyeshadow made both my eye lids puff up in 2 minutes. I tried it twice with the same results.
That foundation and concealer would be perfect for Halloween if you want to look ghostly! It was so bad! Seems all the products were mah!
You totally worked it out and looked great at the end.
Every time you say “I’ll give it a whirl” in your videos I think of Home Alone. I know you know what I’m talking about 😂
I just realized this and I would like to say that I absolutely love that you jump right into the video and dont have an intro saying hi blah blah blah 😅 thank you for catering to my adhd brain
Poor Jess!!! You gave it a valiant effort!!!! I don't own a single piece of makeup from celebrity brands.

I'm not saying this to be nasty to Jess!!! I would never try to hurt her feelings!!!
Try the foundation in a darker shade sometimes that makes it look better
the foundation and concealer are really really good. the concealer definitely needs to be applied with a kitten paw brush and gently blended, though.
I really like that lipstick on you!!❤
the REM beauty stand in Selfridges London is always deserted, everyone is buying Merit, CT or Hourglass
I’ve heard great things about the cream blushes but I haven’t tried them yet.
In the seven or eight years of watching your channel, This is my favorite thumbnail yet 😂😂
Ok but where is your top from..?
I tried a small eyeshadow pallet and did not like it. I haven’t picked it up again and have been avoiding the brand.
I have combo oily skin and the bronzer wears well on me and isn’t patchy. For some reason, I’ve never wanted to try rem beauty products that much
I would like to know how much that full face of REM cost and if Ariana Grande's makeup artist actually uses any of these products regularly.
Love your nails!!
We knew you didn't like the products before you even put them on 😂 LOVE YOUR HAIR DARKER!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
The lighting in this video is really bright on my end. It’s really hard to see the color payoff of the products
No it’s not you or the application - it’s the products. Thanks for taking one for the team!
I've tried one thing from her brand and it was a sparkly liquid shadow. I really liked it but it dried up really quickly. The last time I tried to use it it did nothing.

In Jess we trust 🫡
I need someone to convince me that the eye gloss is not just my oily eyelids 😂😂😂
