Quietly GOOD Makeup Everyone Is Sleeping On… Chantecaille Lion, Drunk Elephant Foundation Drops?!

Oh, I got to get some makeup on. I may be prepared. I'm going to be crying and complaining in all my videos because now I film first thing in the morning, early in the morning. And my baby [laughter] did not have a good night last night. Oo, well, she did have a good night actually playing. Her mother and father did not have a good night last night. So, I cannot wait to get some products in my face. Another new testing video. But you guys are seeing what I'm seeing. The launches are [laughter] E E they're crazy. So today's focus I've been wanting to try like I've been salivating to try the new Lion collection from Shanakai. But it's just been Sephora drop after Sephora drop. So I'm focusing on that today. But of course I have some Sephora items I might as well try today. Like the new Wise Beauty moisturizer. And this I've seen nobody talk about, but I actually think it's kind of genius. Drunk Elephant launched cover drops. It's real cool. We'll talk about it. I have the new Revie Beauty eyebrow gel. You know, I'm very picky with eyebrow gels, so we will see. But those are the main focuses today. If this sounds interesting, just keep on watching. [music] This product intrigued me, which is why I'm testing it today. This is from Wise Beauty, which they just changed their name. It's still Wise Beauty, but they changed the spelling and added this Y. It used to be just Y, but nobody was saying it right. But Wise Beauty is a very pricey, luxurious brand. And their packaging normally speaks for that, but I don't like this packaging for $68. But their products are very good. Now, this is supposed to be like a doit all kind of moisturizer. It's supposed to give that grip for makeup, but it's still supposed to feel lightweight and breathable, be very hydrating, glassy, just it's supposed to double up as skin care and makeup prep. When I was reading about this product, they were saying $68, guys. $68. Where's the product? Just when I think I got it. Still not here. Oh my gosh. $68. Where is this product? My fingers are getting tired. Okay, while I'm doing this, when I was reading about the product, the owner behind the brand, I believe, is a makeup artist, and she was saying like there was all these makeup artists had different moisturizers and primers for different steps and different needs. And she wanted to create a moisturizer primer that kind of was for everybody, did everything. So, you'd only need to pack one moisturizer. Um, came out. Okay. Just got all over me, but it came out. Be prepared to get a little bit of a finger exercise doing this. >> Nope. >> Oh my god. Oh my god. This packaging is so stupid. This is $68. [clears throat] What the heck? This product better be good. Wo. Okay. It says it's like grippy but not sticky. It kind of feels thick. And I am going to put on my SPF after this. I just wanted to try this. See how it was right before makeup. It is thick. You know what? It does feel very rich. That's the word I'm looking for. Rich. Honestly, it feels really nice. H. It's not even grippy at all. It's just a rich feeling moisturizer, but it feels really, really lovely on the skin. It does give a nice glow. I like the way this feels. I don't know with this packaging if it's worth $68, but it feels rich, but not heavy, if that makes sense. Um, and it feels like it's going to moisturize very nicely. Now, obviously with skincare, it's going to take more than one use, but I do like how this feels. Now, Revie Beauty just launched a new eyebrow gel, so I thought I'd try it. This is the Easy Everyday Brow Gel. Now, this is supposed to keep your brows in place without being flaky or crunchy, and it's supposed to feel lightweight in the brows, which I don't mind a little crunch. So, we'll see if this is enough. Plus, my brows, they kind of like throughout the day. So, I'm a picky candidate. Okay, so it's one of those where it has the smaller spikes and the longer spikes. Made in South Korea, so they know what they're doing with the brows here. So, I'm just running that product through the brows. I tend to prefer the smaller spiky side, but I don't love these applicators so much for my eyebrows anymore. I did used to like them, but I just like a spoolie, a fiber spoolie. I think it guides my hairs a little bit better. I don't feel like this plastic one does as good of a job. So, this is feeling lighter weight in my brows. I'm going to assume if you like a lighter weight brow option, this is going to be a good one for you. This is $24. But, you know, for me, that really is my one and only eyebrow gel that I love. my Rare Beauty. So, I'm using the smaller spikes to brush it out. And then I'm using the flat side here. Just kind of push the hairs down. But this is not strong enough for me. If you require a strong brow brow gel, this one's definitely on the softer side. Let's see how it dries, though. But my brows are kind of drooping a little bit. It's not bad at all. I could probably enjoy this on like a natural day where I don't want too much shape, just a little way of grooming, but like if I'm wearing full makeup, this one is a little too soft for me. So, I'm going to let that dry and we'll move on to the foundation, which I have not heard a lot of people talk about, but I thought the concept of this was so interesting, very clever, and it's from Drunk Elephant. So, they are dabbling here in color cosmetics and they've launched the camo triple peptide multi-use serum foundation. I see they already have a few shades sold out actually. And this is a multi-use complexion drop. And I think it's so clever of them because [clears throat] you know that they are known for their drop products, the bronze drops, the blush drops, the glow drops. So, I don't know how I didn't see this coming, but it makes full sense to do like a foundation drop. So, this is formulated to be mixed just like their regular drops with their proteini polyeptide cream. You can mix it with any moisturizer, but um it's nice because you just push the product out. Mix the drops with the moisturizer and it can give you kind of like a tinted moisturizer, lighter coverage effect. I don't love this moisturizer. I think it breaks me out, so I'm not going to use it. Plus, my skin is so hydrated today. So, I'm just going to use the drops on my face. It's supposed to give more coverage when you use it this way. So, it's totally appropriate to use it the way that I'm going to. But if you like lighter coverage, it is formulated to be mixed with this, which I think is so so clever of them. Not enough excitement about this product. I really am. So, I'm just going to clean any brow residue. By the way, I did apply SPF over the Wise Beauty. And between the both of them, I use the Inis free. This is my current favorite SPF. It's like a serum feel. My skin is very, very hydrated. So, I do think this is nice, but I don't know. I don't think I recommend it. It's very expensive. Light 6N. Let's see. So, it does have a pump. Ooh, it has like a very airy feel to it. This is light 6N and it's still kind of on the deep side for me as you can see. So, just keep that in mind. It definitely seems to be oxidizing pretty bad on the oxidation front, but it's melting into my skin. And I do think my skin prep is a huge factor in that. I mean, it's giving like a light coverage. I think I do have such a hydrating base on that it's kind of mimicking what it would do if it were mixed with moisturizer. Not quite. It should give more coverage than that, but ooh it it it feels like air, baby. This is light as air. It looks really pretty. It just melted into the skin. This is feeling fantastic for dry skin. Honestly, this is so lightweight and airy. I really can't imagine truly mixing it with a moisturizer, nor do I feel like it needs to be. It's not heavy duty feeling at all. Again, my base is super duper hydrated and smooth. So, that's contributing to this. But, ooh, I like this. It does oxidize a little. So, make sure you choose a shade that's lighter. But, if you can nail down a good shade, I mean, this looks absolutely gorgeous. This looks like a second skin. It's so lightweight. It evened everything out. I would say give a lighter side of medium coverage. It didn't really build too much for me. Only a little bit of additional coverage. So, I don't think this is one you can get a ton of coverage with. Looking at the claims, it claims it has full coverage. I definitely don't agree with that and that it gives natural finish, which I do agree with the natural finish. It's looking a little bit more glowy because of my base. So, it's a flexible finish. But yeah, it looks really natural. It's sitting on the skin beautifully. I'm going to pop on a little bit of the new Benefit Porefessional concealer. I'm not like super excited about any Benefit base products, but I got it in PR. I'm going to try it. Hey, you know what? This brow gel does have really nice hold. It's just the applicator I don't love because I feel like it didn't direct my hairs where I wanted them and it took a little too long to dry. So, in the process of drying, my hair is kind of drooped a little bit, but when it's all said and done, really beautiful hold. Let's get into the new Shanta Kai collection. This is their lion collection. It's limited edition. This is like the heart and soul of today's video. What I wanted to talk about, you guys know my feelings on Shanta Guy. They are expensive and I always recommend to wait when they have sales, but their limited edition collections do they do sell out. It is one of those brands where they are overpriced. There's no question about it. But like at least they put their money where their mouth is because their products are so beautiful. Now, this collection doesn't have any new formulas. It's just new shades of formulas that I already know are really nice. So, we'll start off with the blush in this collection. This is the shade Lion Pride. Now, this one doesn't have any fun packaging. It's just the same packaging. This is one of my favorite blush formulas, powder blush formulas. This is $44. So, that's why I don't recommend it too often. This is an overspray as you can see. So, it instantly is not as [gasps] beautiful anymore, but that's just realistically what the color is. So, to show you as accurate as I can, I am wiping it away. But this is a soft kind of neutral little warm actually pink. It's a nice warm pink I would say. And I feel like this is going to give a really natural flushed look. I wish the packaging of these were nicer, but I love them. The formula of them are really beautiful. Honestly, this is a formula that is worth it. Like I said, they do have good sales a few number of times throughout the year and that's when Shantaai is really worth it. But I wanted to show off this blush because it is a gorgeous summer into fall transition blush because it's warm but it kind of gives that really natural flush look. Oh yeah, this is the perfect transition shade. Quite pigmented. It's going to work for a big range of skin tones here, which sometimes Shantaai does not. So, that's really nice. Oo, this is pretty. This is like a burnt but not too toasted look. And it blends in beautifully, but this is on the more pigmented side of their blushes. So, do keep that in mind. But because it's such a beautiful formula, it is blending out really beautifully. And it's just one of those colors where you can pretty much blend it out wherever and it's going to look natural because it has such a natural flush. Now, the items from this collection that I was the most excited about were their eye shades here. These are incredible. They're always worth it on sale. I love these things. Even though they're $58, they're beautiful single shadow. So, let's see the shades. They all have uh limited edition green packaging, but they still have the animal on the front, which a lot of their colors do. So, this is Marty, a deep chocolate. That's gorgeous for like an all over one and done smokey eye. This is Senkee, a rose shimmering sand. Oh, these are unreal. These are the best thing in the collection. And then Nara. Now, this is a demi matte golden beige. These are very pretty. I'm going to start off with Senank. Just going to blend this out. And I'm going to use this as kind of a crease shade. These have a nice neutral undertone to them. So they're not pulling too warm. They'll kind of go with everything. And when I use a very soft brush like this blending brush, even though Senke is a metallic shade, it's soft enough that you can absolutely use it like I'm using it now. Oh yeah. And then if you were to use your finger, right, pop this on. Look at that. So this is one of those super luxurious shades where depending on how much you put, you can make this look like multiple eyeshadows, even if it's only one, right? So if you apply a sheer layer of it, it looks like a crease shade that I use that looks matte. And then when you apply it in a more concentrated way, it looks like a complete different shadow. That is to me the definition of a luxury shadow. That's what you pay for. And guess what? These shadows, they do it. And they're so versatile. I'm going to take Marty, the deepest shade, and I'm just going to use that to deepen my outer corner. And you can see, even though you might think this is only an eyelid shade, that is not true. This formula is so pretty and so high quality that yes, you can use these as crease shades and blend them out, but you can also get that full opacity that you see in the pan. Taking what is left over on my brush, blending that shade along the lower lash. But yeah, this all over the eyelid is truly one of the most beautiful, well, will truly be one of the most beautiful one and done shades. cannot confirm but I suspect so. And then I'm going to take Nara, which is that golden beige shade. And this is actually a matte. You know, it says demi matte, which it is true, but it really is a matte shade. Oh my goodness. And you know what? That's pretty all over the lid. Even though the other shades have a glow to them, this is just a pretty brightening beige shade all over the eyelid. This one's probably the least worth it. I think the luminous finish of the others make it more worth the price point, but regardless, this formula is just always going to be a win. It is gorgeous. And then also in the collection, they have their Luster Glide Eyeliner formula, which is very beautiful in the shade Garnet. This is $36. This is really pretty metallic cranberry shade. These have a really creamy glide. They're going to set down and last a long time. And this is going to be more subtle than like a black. I personally don't love this shade. If you have green eyes, I would absolutely recommend looking into this shade. It's going to make your green eyes pop. Uh I think like a brown would have been a little bit more matchy matchy with the eye shades of this collection. Not that this doesn't match, but I don't know. I feel like brown or like a dark dark green, right, would have matched the packaging at least. This color is a little random if I'm being honest. I don't think you need this from the collection. This eyeliner formula is beautiful, but I don't I don't even really like this shade, honestly. It's fine. Uh, but the formula is nice. You see it's just gliding across the eyes with ease that I'm able to make the minest wing. Then you have just enough time to soften it with a little brush. Pretty. But this is the least necessary thing of the collection. You know I don't lie to you. I'm going to tell you how it is. Pretty. You don't need it though. But man, these eyeliners, they are they are high quality. I've not been using my favorite liners recently because I always am using, you know, my speed review straw liners. I've gotten used to not amazing ones. Yeah, this is good. This applies so easily. I don't love this color. Let's finish up this video with the lip products from the collection. Now, this is absolutely a fall collection. If you're looking for some new fall lips, these are pretty. So, these are their lip gel formula. Really solid, good formula. $55. So, they're going to cost you. Um, but they have the pretty limited edition lion packaging. So, this is candalabra. It's a rich blackberry. And you see these are the lip veils. So, they'll build up to full opacity. So, let me show you. So, you can get like a sheer layer. Don't be scared if you don't love bold lip because this is pretty with a little bit of lip liner. [snorts] But you can also build it up and get like the full berry lip for the fall and winter. So that's really pretty. A reminder, I don't have lip liner on, so it will have a cleaner application. And then the other one is more my speed. I do wear colors like this in the winter, but that's it. And I don't foresee myself wearing as much dark lipstick this particular winter as I used to because I have a baby who puts her hands all over me and like a dark lipstick that doesn't set down is not it's not going to be great cuz she puts her hands on my hand and everything. So rock jasmine. This one is gorgeous. This is a tawny cinnamon brown. So let's see what the the sheer layer is stunning. It's just a little bit warm. I don't see really honestly a lot of brown. That's pretty. And then it can be built up. Okay, this is looking more brown to this shade. Ah, these lips for fall are stunning. This one's so pretty. Let me put this one on with a little bit of lip liner. Can you believe it's still hot outside? And we're talking about fall makeup and fall collections. I just lined my lips with Milani Keep It Full Plumping Lip Liner in the shade Hot Shot. This with Rock Jasmine from Shan Sakai. Made a beautiful fall lip and a very different price point. But hey, this is a fall look. I was I was doubting the Garnet eyeliner, but it does make sense with the lip colors from the collection. I do think the eye colors are a bit neutral compared to the other items in the collection. But anyways, this is the full swatch lineup here of the Shanta Kai fall collection. And it very much gives fall. I cannot wait to use that dark eye color all over. I'm going to have to do that really soon. But here's the final look today. A beautiful fall look. I think I might have been most impressed by the Drunk Elephant cover drops today, but I loved everything that I used today. The Wise moisturizer overpriced, but I mean it was really nice on the skin. The Revie has ended up really, really nicely. Like I said, it just takes a little too much to dry. So, my eyebrows did fall in the meantime. You didn't see this, but you know what? This Benefit concealer is not too bad. And then everything from the Shantae Kai collection I enjoyed. I think the eye shades are the standouts here though for this collection. But Shantaai's winter collection last year was like impeccable. So I can't wait to see what they come out for the winter time. But it's true. I know it is the end of August, but it's the end of August, you guys. So, it's time to start thinking about fall colors, switching over your makeup wardrobe to maybe some deeper lips, some warmer eyes, more bold eyes. Fall and winter, it's a little bit more fun to play with makeup. So, I'm excited.
