Patrick Ta Is At It AGAIN? 😅 for once im NOT bored here....SHOP OR DROP?!

[music] It's human nature. I know we love a little spiciness when it comes to these shopper drops. When it comes to these brands charging a lot of money for things that, you know, doesn't cost a lot of money for them to make. I don't know that there's going to be a lot of that today because there are so many interesting new launches and I am really, really excited. A lot of times with these shopper drops, I'm like, but um I'm really excited and intrigued by a lot of these. So, as somebody who loves shopping for makeup, loves all things beauty, oh my gosh, I feel like these brands are waking up and coming back from their summer vacations because I'm excited. I mean, I know it's only August, but fall launches are going to start coming out soon, and I can tell. So, let's get into it. This is my shopper drop. I don't own any of these items yet, but I'm going to be telling you whether or not I will be shopping them or dropping them from my shopping list. As always, the point of this is to get a conversation going in the comments. I would love to see your thoughts on these products. And if you have any questions or want to see me cover any of these products specifically, here's a chance for your voice to be heard. So, let's get a conversation going and let's get started. Starting off, most of the images I'm getting are from Treadmood 1. So, the first thing that we have, which is one of the most controversial of today's video, are the new Patrick Ta Sculpt Shape Anywhere Artistry Sticks. Now, what I was seeing a lot of is, aren't these just free framing Kim's contour sticks? And listen, Patrick Ta is a brand that is definitely under the public eye a lot. It gets a lot of scrutiny for the products. Well deserved, welld deserved. Uh but typically when it comes to his launches right now there's a lot of negativity revolving this and what I was seeing was that he's copying another unoriginal launch but I don't really think so. I mean he is definitely capitalizing on another trend yet again. But you know I saw people saying Victoria Beckham he's copying her. She was one of the first to popularize this. But these sticks have been around for a while. Morphey's had one for a while. I just saw KJH just launched one on Sephora. We have another stick coming out following this that I will share with you. What else? Kim KW back in the day also did it. So, these sticks have been around, but it's just because it's him, which like I fully understand. But anyways, the product itself, this is definitely a shock for me. I do like these skinny little contour sticks. And this one also has like brightening shades and stuff. So, I'm excited about this. This is actually available right now. So, if you want to shop it, I will have the link down below for this. But, I am excited for these. I think, you know, Patrick quality can be hit or miss lately. I feel like they've been a big big hit. So, if this is following trend of how his products have been recently, this should be pretty good. And since he's a makeup artist, I would expect the shades here to be really good. I'm excited about this product. It's not the first of its kind, but I feel like I have a I feel like I have a good feeling. I have a good feeling about these. So, we'll see. I haven't even watched any reviews on this yet. I still need to place my orders on on these. I'm about to after I finish filming this, but yeah, this will be a shop. I'm definitely curious. But Morphe, by the way, is really good and very affordable. And Morphe is just like the best affordable brand this year. Morphe and Essence, they've been killing it. Next one. I just thought this one was intriguing. It's different. It's another stick, but this is from one size and it's the ultimate color corrector stain. I believe this one is available right now. It just launched. And I mean, I'm not a huge fan of color correctors, but this is interesting because it's supposed to be a stain. It's supposed to offer longlasting coverage you can rely on to neutralize the appearance of discoloration. You know, you have the green, you have the orange, you have the peach, you have the pink. And I do think in certain scenarios that a color corrector is useful. It's not something that I use on the daily, but I do find using something light and pink on my under eye and or salmon, it really does help with the purple that I've been having a lot lately because hello, sleep regression. Thank my daughter for that. So, I know some people love color correctors, and if you're oily, this sounds really interesting because it is a stain. It's not a product for me in particular. I maybe could get on poor on board with the baby pink shade, but it's not a product for me. So, I'm going to say drop, but I'm absolutely intrigued by this because it is a stain and I think that's pretty innovative, but still very trendy. And One Size has been doing that a lot with their products. I They're doing a great job. They're truly truly killing it. So, I'm excited. And like you could probably use some of these shades as blush if you want. Really interesting launch. So, I'm excited about this one for people that it would make sense for. One of the products that I am most excited about in today's video, Makeup by Mario is launching the Master Shimmery Longwearing Cream Eyeshadows. These are going to be $25 each and they are available now. This is an absolute shock for me because the matte version of these was absolutely incredible. They applied themselves. They I think made liquid eyeshadows seem less scary because they just looked and applied like a powder eyeshadow, but they lasted. Baby, if you have oily eyelids, this is going to be amazing for you. Now, I can't speak for the new shimmery finishes. I do love the matte finishes, but shimmery is a whole new game. And since the matte was so good, I'm really looking forward to these, but I am a little nervous. Like, I hope these have enough glow and shimmer, baby, for me. I do. So, this is a shock for me. I'm definitely planning on picking up a couple of shades. I'm excited about them. It's a product where I have a lot of faith in because the original matte version is so good. So, I'm hoping the shimmer version is really good. So, we will see. I don't know. There is a potential for this not to be good because when it comes to like cream and liquid shimmer products, sometimes they emphasize like fine lines and stuff on the eyelids and just aren't that great. I think matte sometimes is easier to create when it comes to these cream or liquid formulations, but I'm absolutely interested and excited. I It sounds like to me pink pearl would be the one for me. I don't really like deep shades too often nowadays. Sorry, I know. So boring, but I'm really excited about these. This is one of the products that I've been looking forward to talk about. Tower 28 has a new foundation coming out. This is their Swipe Serum Medium buildable coverage foundation. It looks like it's going to be a play on their iconic Swipe Concealer. And if it's anything like that, I fully expect this foundation to be nothing short of amazing. It will be $36. It's not quite yet available. I think this launches later in the month, but if it is anything like the concealer that it is playing off of, my expectations for this are very high. Now, my problem with base products from Tower 28 in the past is I haven't loved how they've worn. I felt like they got heavier on my skin throughout the day. So, I'm hoping that won't be the case with this. But, I will be the guinea pig and I will try it out for you. So, I'm just excited because the Tower 28 concealer version of this is one of my all-time favorite concealers. So, we're optimistic here. This absolutely is a shot for me. It looks like it's supposed to not cause acne at all, which is something that definitely piques my interest. Lately, foundations have not been breaking me out, but there was once a time where they did. So, I think that that is fabulous news. So, we will see. But this looks like the concealer in foundation form to me. the way that it's making her skin glow, how smooth it's looking. So, again, a product I'm very, very optimistic for and am excited about and will be reviewing. So, shop for sure on this. Okay, we're moving on more into the luxury products. And I did see this on Trendmood. I don't know you guys. So, I don't know the business deal of things, but it looks like there's this face palette with color correcting powder, maybe blushes from Charlotte Tilbury. But here's the thing, there is like Charlotte Tilbury in Asia, I feel like, is different than Charlotte Tilbury in the US. There have been products that launched from Charlotte Tilbury in Asia that have not come to the US. And why do I feel like that's the case for this? This looks very Asian and not for the US market. I mean, look how light these shades are. So that's why I don't know. I'm being cautious here. I'm intrigued. This isn't really a product that I'm super into. Like it doesn't look like something I would love. But if it is the classic Charlotte airbrush powder, then I mean I could see a use for this. But this just doesn't seem for the US markets, right? If it does become available, it will be a shot for me just because this is an interesting new format for Charlotte Tilbury. So, the makeup reviewer in me needs to try this. But I don't know if it's actually going to come to the US. This doesn't seem like a very American kind of product. And even, you see what I mean? And there's been plenty that has launched in Asia that has not launched in the US. Looks like there's a new color here. But if you know like the business side of things, let me know how they're related or how they are unrelated. But it would be a shock for me. But I don't know, you guys. Now, you guys know that the YSL Make Me Blush powder blushes are one of my all-time favorite luxury blushes. It's been my favorite blush formula of the last couple of years. It just goes on so smooth. And they've just launched a cream version, which is now available. I will have that linked down below. And they look really nice. I mean, they don't look as nice as the powders to me. I like that top left shade over there. Hot mauve, the very top shade. Toffee temptation could be really cool. I mean, they have the same shades. I'm intrigued. I will shop one. I definitely plan on purchasing one just as a fan of the original powder formulation. I don't know. I don't like the packaging. I don't like that latex looking kind of style packaging if I'm being honest here. even though it is the same. Sorry. Even though it is the same. But yeah, I'm going to be shopping for this more so for curiosity. I think if I didn't do what I did for a living, it might be a drop. I haven't watched enough reviews, so I don't know, but I will be shopping for it. We also have a new collection from Shanta Kai. This is the lying collection. I did get this in PR. I don't know that I would have purchased it, though. The eye shadows are very tempting. Now the reason being I love Shantaai products. I do not love the price of Shantaai products. And the only time I buy from Shantaai personally is when they have their sales. Like recently they had 25% off for their friends and family sale. Like that is when Shantaai will be purchased for me. But I'm not paying full price for this stuff because their stuff is very very expensive. But they do have really amazing products. So I'm really grateful that I can get them in PR. These look beautiful. I love this eyeshadow formula from Shantaai. They are beautiful one and done shadows and these are right up my alley color-wise. I definitely will share my thoughts with you and swatch swatches and all of that. There's also a couple lippies. Again, like not worth it full price, but really a gorgeous formula. We have a lip liner which looks a little deep for my preferences. Now, the blush, I hate the rinky dinky packaging of these, but I love the formula that is inside. Again, super duper expensive, not worth it full price, but if you can get discount, absolutely beautiful. So, I will be sharing my thoughts for this. And I mean, I'm so thankful to Shanta Kai for sending me their stuff because honestly, every single time I do say their products are not worth their full price, and I rag on their price point, but I do love their products, so I am extremely grateful and I do recommend them, but wait for a sale, you guys. Anyways, it would be a drop. It would be a drop, but there definitely are products that intrigue me. I have not talked about an RMS beauty drop in like years, but this is the most attractive thing they've launched in years. This is the Redimension Diggly Glow Palette, which is available on their website right now. Now, here's the thing. It is a highlighter palette you can also use as eyehadow. It's giving Dior backstage glow face palette, is it not? It looks really beautiful. This formula from RMS is beautiful, particularly in blush form. So, I'd imagine that the highlight form of this is also beautiful. I mean, it looks like date night can be like a blush or a blush topper situation. Looks absolutely gorgeous. It's the first time I've double took at an item from RMS Beauty, but unfortunately, it will still be a drop for me because I already have the Dior. I have no need for this. But it's really beautiful. And I mean, congratulations to them because I haven't seen so much excitement for a product from the brand in a while and and it does look gorgeous and these powders are beautiful. So, I am sure that this is going to be a beautiful launch. I need to get my game up with Westminatilier because they've been launching some beautiful products that I have not been keeping up with. And this one looks really exciting. This is the new Westminatilier Bio Complex Liquid Foundation. I just Here's the thing with West Mentalier. I did not love their foundation stick. I definitely thought it was overpriced. This is going to be a $69 foundation. Um, it might be available by the time that you're watching this August 11th. Weightless medium coverage, natural hydrated finish, blurs pores, refineses texture. I mean, all of that just sounds like exactly what I would like, but a lot of brands are just using these as buzzwords because that's what they are. They're buzzwords. But Westminatilier has been launching some beautiful products lately. So, I'm I'm definitely willing to give them a second chance when it comes to complexion. So, this will be a shot for me. Let me be the guinea pig once again because Westmin $69. $69. Okay, hold off for the reviews. Don't buy this blindly, but I absolutely am intrigued. And when I order this, I probably will pick up another Westminatilier thing or two. We will see. Uh, but it sounds great, but is that too good to be true? I did talk about this on my stories. So, I'm going to be quick with this one, but I just wanted to let you know, whoops, that Summer Fridays just launched a new body care line. Quick little review. This would have been a drop for me. Drop, but I did get these in PR and I'm going to tell you my thoughts because these are new. They are available. Uh, the best smelling shade by far is the pistachio. The pistachio is good. The butter balm is okay. It doesn't blend in as nicely as I would like for it to on the skin, but it does feel lightweight and it doesn't feel too sticky. So, it's an okay body balm. The pink guava shade scent. It smells nice. The vanilla is not my favorite vanilla. It's not a bad vanilla, but the pistachio to me is the absolute best scent from this collection. The spray is nice and soft. Overall, this collection doesn't smell too strong. So if you're sensitive to that, I think this is a good option for you. It is a okay body care launch. Like I will enjoy these, but I don't know that I would have run out the door for this quality. So that's my two cents on that launch. I am heading over to Amit Beauty Talk who posts kind of the in between of what Trend Mood one doesn't post, particularly when it comes to luxury. She is my go-to for luxury beauty launches. So we have a few launches from Dior. What is up and coming are going to be two new lip lines from Dior. So, we have the OnStage Ink Blur Mattes and then we also have the Onstage Mattes. I'm not sure which is which. I don't know. It looks like this is like some sort of liquid lipstick. And then we have like that matte blurring balm situation which that shade 110 and 215. I'm very attracted to those. So, we will see. I mean, these are eh products. They look like more permanent range products. So, these would be a drop for me, but I can see myself like in store picking up a shade or two, but I'm not running out to pick these up. Something that I will be adding to my next order will be the new Forever Onset loose powder. You know how I feel about Dior Beauty. I think their products are absolutely gorgeous, especially when it comes to their permanent range. And I'm not running out to get this, but I will get this eventually. So, this is definitely a tentative shop for the future, not for right now. I'm very picky about my powders, but I think if a brand can do it well, I think it would be Dior. I would hope it would be, and you know, I love just the aesthetic of their packaging. So, um I'm interested. This has five shades, invisible blurring matte finish. Yeah. And I checked the website. It is available now. So, I'm interested, but I'm not running to get it. The most interesting thing that Dior has launched is their new Lucky Clover collection for fall 2026. And I saw some things are already selling out, you guys. So, I'll have the link down below if you want to check that out. These limited edition collections have been selling like hot cakes lately. I remember when I used to review the Dior limited edition collections, I could not get anybody interested in it. I was the only one interested in it. I felt like their LE launches, but now they're g gaining traction. People are excited about them. But from what I've learned from the past, their limited edition collections are very inconsistent in quality. So, that is why I stopped covering them. But, I've got to admit, these are quite attractive. The eyeshadow palettes, first of all, instead of the stupid velvet pouches that they normally come in, look at what they're coming in this time. And this is confirmed. It's on the DR website. That pink pouch is adorable. I don't love this color story quite as much, but the pouch it comes in, the green, it was sold out last I checked, but these look like they have potential to be nice. These look like a nice formula. I haven't tried it yet, and I don't know that I will. Honestly, this collection is a drop for me just by principle because these might be good. But I've told you multiple times I'm done buying from Dior limited edition collection. But it's a really hard stance to stand on sometimes because I've been coming out with really cute stuff like this. I'm holding strong. Um, okay. That makes me feel better. Those swatches look sheer. There's also these two beautiful blushes. That one on the left I believe is sold out. But can you see why it looked stunning? Like I do love me a Dior blush and I won't turn down a limited edition Dior blush. I I treasure mine. Get me at a counter, I'll buy these. But right now, while we're at a distance, I'm holding strong. I like that. Too peachy. And then they also have the Dior Addict lipstick in this limited edition packaging. Very cute, very luxe. A great gift for yourself. These are the two shades. They're kind of meh. So, these ones would definitely be a drop for me. I mean, the top one, of course, I'm sure is beautiful. It's just like a pretty nude. But that's not what excites me about this collection. Nor are their rouge lipsticks here. But they do have the beautiful Clover embossments. Uh I don't like these shades actually. I like the ones better with the LE packaging. And then there's a pretty shimmery eyeliner, which I guess I saw was sold online. Sold out online. Like I wouldn't even buy this. I don't know what I would do with this shade. It is pretty. But as an eyeliner, I'm not lining my eyes with this. So, that one would be an easy pass. Two nail polishes. I only saw the Clover shade, which is very, very pretty. But, do you want to spend that much on a on a nail polish? Yeah, that's it. I believe that's the whole collection. I will have that all linked down below. I've already shared it on my socials, but beautiful collection. I'm going to say drop, but if you ever if you ever see me using any of these, I don't want to hear it. Anyways, those are all of the new launches that I was very, very excited to talk about. Remember, I want to hear your thoughts in the comments. Those were mine. This was a very positive one because like I can feel the energy of the makeup launches, okay? And I am liking it. I know it's only August, but my favorite makeup season is approaching the holiday makeup season, which isn't during the holidays. It's during fall, early part of fall. Starting next month, actually, we're going to start getting the holiday launches. So, prepare yourselves for that. But, like, I can tell we're turnurning our way up there because these are exciting. So, um, my Sephora account's going to have a lot of orders placed, but I'm really, really excited. So, thank you guys for just makeup shopping with me. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it entertaining. Make sure you comment on other people's comments. Let's get those conversation starters going, and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye, guys. Have a good one. >> It's delicious. [music]
