Video summary

The video begins with the creator addressing her tired appearance before diving into a review of several new makeup launches at Sephora, noting that while fall and holiday collections are approaching, she is eager to test the latest products. She starts with the Beauty of Josee Daycreen Tinted SPF, praising its affordable price point of $20 and its ability to provide light-to-medium coverage with a subtle glow. Although she notes that the formula sits slightly on top of the skin rather than melting in completely, she is impressed by its pore-blurring capabilities and overall performance for the cost. She follows this with the One Size Ultimate Color Corrector Stain, a waterproof product designed specifically for oily skin types to neutralize discoloration. While she finds the scent unusual and somewhat unpleasant, she is highly satisfied with how well the correctors set down and stay in place under foundation, making them excellent for covering acne spots or dark patches without moving around. Moving on to eyeshadows, the creator expresses significant disappointment with the new Makeup by Mario cream shadows in a shimmer finish. Despite having received these as a PR package and being excited about the launch, she found that the shimmers separated easily when layered and did not blend as smoothly as the brand's matte counterparts. She feels they are too flat and lack the metallic intensity she was hoping for, suggesting instead that users might get better results by applying just one shimmer shade over a matte base. Next, she reviews the new Nars Notorious mascara, an Ulta exclusive claiming to offer lift, length, and volume in one go. Her initial impressions are mixed; while the black pigment is deep, she struggles to get enough product on her lower lashes with the thin wand, requiring multiple layers that eventually make the lashes feel heavy and clumpy before they finally hold a curl. The final segment of the video focuses on lip products, where the creator finds more success with Huda Beauty's relaunched lip stains and Kofi's new matte lip stains. She tests the updated Huda bottles to see if the improved filling process solves the issue of running out of ink when stored flat, concluding that while the formula is similar, the new packaging does hold slightly more pigment. She particularly appreciates the addition of cool-toned shades like berry brown and rosy mauve, which are refreshing alternatives to typical warm tones. Finally, she gives a strong recommendation for Kofi's Glossy Lips Mattler lip stains, highlighting their unique color palette and long-lasting transfer-resistant properties. She notes that while her naturally pigmented lips sometimes alter the perceived color of stains, the matte version provides excellent hydration without flaking and leaves a beautiful stain even as it fades, making it an ideal choice for busy individuals who need low-maintenance makeup throughout the day.

Oh, I'm looking a little rough in these videos now, guys. I've started over this last month. The first thing that I do during my day is film. So, wake up, I do my skin care, and then I film. So, I look real tired every morning. So, that's why I look like this right now. I'm not apologizing for it, but I also just picked on something, so ignore that. Anyways, today we are going to talk about some new products at Sephora because there have been a lot of launches lately. I guess fall makeup's coming out, but like before you know it, the holiday stuff is going to start coming out. So, it's going to start being revealed this month. And then come September, full force. Get ready for it. Even though it feels like it's earlier every single year, no, it does happen at the same time every single year. So, I'm trying to get ahead. I have some new Sephora products that I wanted to try, like the new Beauty of Josan tinted SPF, the one size stain color correctors. The heart and soul of today's video is definitely the new Makeup by Mario cream shadows, the new shimmer finish. Nars has out a new mascara. Huda Beauty has redone her lip stain line as well as added three new shades. and Kofi, who in my opinion has the best lip stains ever, has launched the Glossy Lips Mattler lip stains. So, if you've been curious about any of these products, come on in. Let's see what they're all about. First things first, we have the Beauty of Josan Daycreen Tinted SPF. This has SPF 30. And the best thing about this is it's only $20. and four. Sephora, that's pretty amazing. There are plenty of drugstore foundations that cost more than this. So, I can't believe that this is only $20. I love Beauty of Josan. So, this is a tinted mineral sunscreen. It's supposed to be lightweight, silky, have a nice easy application, and be poor blurring. We'll see how much extra coverage I'll need with concealer, but I'm going to use the shade 23N. Wait, that did blend in really nice. And I feel like it's giving nice enough coverage. I mean, it didn't claim to give a ton of coverage. And I'm not looking for it to give a ton of coverage just based on the style of product that it is, but it's definitely giving more coverage than I thought. I would say it's a light coverage for sure, but it's like leaning towards medium. It's not a medium coverage, but it's leaning in that direction on the light coverage scale. Wait, and I do feel like it kind of smoothed everything out a little bit. Nothing miraculous, but I mean, looking at it, it made everything look better. It evened everything out. By the way, this is a fantastic color for me. Does have a little bit of a subtle glow. The only call out that I have with how it is sitting on my skin is that it is sitting a little on top of the skin as opposed to just melting in. If you know what I'm talking about, some foundations, they just have this smooth finish that looks like it becomes one with the skin. And then some foundations, they kind of sit a little bit more on top of the skin where you feel like you can see the product a little bit more. So, I do feel like it is sitting a little on top of the skin, but it's not horrible. I'm going to see if we can build up a little bit of coverage on the cheeks. It's not necessary for it to. It advertises itself as a tinted SPF. So, if it's just a tint, that's okay. But, it is always a bonus. If it can add more coverage, then you also get a little bit more SPF protection this way, too, if you layer it on a little bit thicker. I feel like that did give a little additional coverage. Nothing crazy, but for it being a tinted SPF, it also isn't too glowy, greasy, or heavy feeling. It really feels more like a lightweight foundation as opposed to an SPF. It's not the most beautiful thing that has set on my skin and that I've worn, but you know what? It's looking pretty good. It's giving more coverage than I thought. It does blur pores and it has evened everything out. and my skin. It's looking good. So, we'll see how this wears. That's the most important part. But for $20, I am not mad about this at all. Now, this next product is extremely interesting. It's not a product that I need really, but I can definitely see a certain type of person who does need a product like this. Oily skin, you listen up. So, this is the one size ultimate color corrector stain. It's $28. It comes in six different shades like green, orange, peach, light pink, all of those. And it's a 12-hour waterproof color corrector that corrects, evens, brightens, neutralizes. Obviously, discoloration, the point of color correction. So, I kept three shades for myself to play around with. Let's see how they work. So, what the directions say is to put it down and then to blend out the edges and then let it dry like that. I'm not going to do that just for my swatches to see if they really do set down. Here is the light peach shade. They feel pretty creamy. And then green, which you'll use for redness. So, it says you have like 20 to 30 seconds before it dries down. Also, let's try it on me. So, right here is where I'd want the color correction. And they also demo that you can get a little bit of lift here. And then we're going to blur the edges. I'm going to do the peach shade on the other side. So, I'm thinking this will be great for somebody with oily skin who really does need to color correct. But you see even on me like that light pink really helped with the blue that I had. Salmon I think is a little bit better for that. Pink is more brightening. So I do have this light peach shade. And I was worried it was going to feel really dry and that I had to work really fast, but honestly it's blending out a okay. This product I think smells a little weird. A little funky. Smells like funk. Yeah. Okay. That's something I haven't heard about this, but it it smells a little funky. I was like, is my brush disgusting? Am I disgusting? No, this product is funky smelling. It's I'm still Yeah, it's this. Okay. I don't know why it smells like that. They need to make this scented. Sorry for my people who don't like fragrance, but I'd rather be smelling some cupcake vanilla than smell this. But obviously, I mean, I feel like it did a fantastic job with color correction. Let's see. Did these set? Okay. Yeah, it does set down. I'm sure if I really put a lot of I'm sure if I put a lot of pressure, I could get it to blend out more. But these do really stay, which is really great because if you color correct, you know how sometimes when you put the color corrector, you blend it, and then you put your concealer or foundation over top, it kind of moves the color correction. This would be really lovely for acne in that situation because it's stuck there. You know, the foundation is not going to move it around. So, there is absolutely a purpose for this. I think it did a great job. And even though I did on my under eyes, it doesn't look too dry. Like when it dries down, it still feels like sticky and gummy. So, it should still have that flexibility and hydration. So, I think this is an interesting product. Actually, I'm liking it more than I thought, minus the stank. But yeah, now that I've gotten a feel for it, I think it's even better than I thought it was because I didn't even think about that for like acne spots or dark patches, right? This isn't going to move when you put foundation over top, which makes the product even better. I'm excited, guys. I got every shade of the new shimmer finish from the Makeup by Mario cream eyes shadow line. Most of the products in here were from PR, but this is the one I was so excited about. I was absolutely going to purchase these regardless, so it was a good day to receive this. These are $25 each, and his original launch of these were all matte eyeshadows, and they were incredible. So, now we got to see what the shimmer shadows are all about. And I think these are a godsend for oily eyelids. This is honey crystal. Honey crystal. Ooh, that's pretty. It's not super metallic. These look definitely subtle ballet blush. This is supposed to be a rose gold. It's not as pinky as I thought it would be. Pink pearl. Okay, that one's a little bit more pinky. Mauve Magic, a little bit more depth there. Fizzy. Oh, shoot. Fizzy fig. That's a beautiful bronze. Definitely thought it was going to be lighter based on the packaging. Plum pewtor. Ooh, that's gorgeous. There's like a little bit of stronger glitters in there. Bronze Batty, beautiful. And brown sugar. Really pretty. These are definitely pretty. But I will say these are more flat than I was hoping. I was wishing these were going to be a little bit more metallic, but these are pretty subtle in the shimmer department. But I still bet you they're pretty and these are going to be more flattering for more mature eyelids. So, let's see. Not going to set my eyelid or anything. And I'm going to go all shimmer. Not even applying a base. So, I'm going to start off with a little bit of bronze baddy. And I'm going to use this in the outer corner to start. See if these blend just as easily as the mattes. Mhm. And since these are softer, I would say it's definitely safe to use these in the crease like I am. They're not flat like the matte shades. And they seem to be shearing out a little bit more. Like that sheared out a lot. So, but I mean it seems to be working out just as easily as the matte shades. And if you want the shimmer to be more concentrated, don't like pick a brush and smudge it out like I am. But I'm just trying to create a background with this. I would say I've got the background that I like. So I'm going to continue with bronze buddy. And just leave this more concentrated. Taking a smaller brush. Just diffusing the edges and letting this dry. Gorgeous. Then I'm going to do pink pearl all over the eyelid. And that added a really pretty sheen all over the eyelid. These aren't layering as well as I would have liked. I do think the mattes are absolutely superior to the shimmers. The shimmers are separating a little too easily. It's easy to fix, but I think there's a lot more superior glowy liquid shadows out there. These are not my favorite, unfortunately. I think he still has the matte department. That's his specialty. But these shimmers just kind of mushed together. They did not layer well. What I'm thinking is these might perform better if you use just one shimmer. So, if I put down a matte, whether it be Makeup by Mario or just a regular matte eyeshadow, and then just pick a shimmer and put it all over the eyelid, I think this would be a better experience. But it doesn't matter. Like, they should be able to be used multiples at once. But I think the best way to use this is to do a one and done kind of vibe. Yeah, I'm a little underwhelmed by these if I'm being honest. They're pretty and I think as I continue to use them, I will absolutely get really pretty looks with these and I'll pick out my favorite shades for you and and you will hear about that from me. But just using two was a little bit difficult. They didn't agree with each other. They were separating a little bit too easy. Over blended a little bit. Like you can see it looks a little patchy on my eyelid. I'm going to continue using these. I'm not writing these off yet, but I am disappointed with my first impressions. Oh, you guys. I think you'll be able to see better. I just took a step back and looked at my eyelid. These do not look good. Oh no. I'm going to give these a second chance. They need a second chance. But what the heck, right? Okay. So, I'm actually quite disappointed in the Makeup by Mario. I don't know if it's just the way I applied it today, but we're going to have to figure that out. But we'll move on. Nars just launched a new mascara, the Notorious mascara. And even though this title is Sephora, this is actually an Ulta exclusive, but it's supposed to do it all. Lift, length, and volume. Allin-one high performance. It is $29. I don't love spending all of that for a mascara, but it claims to do everything. So, I have Starruck Black and Infamous Black. No, infamous brown. Okay, we'll use Starshoke Black. We have a spiky long skinny wand. All right. I feel like it's not depositing a lot of product to my lower lashes. And it might just need to dry out a little bit. That might be what's causing this, but I'm not getting much product on my lower lashes. So, after it's been used a few times, some air should have entered the packaging. So, that'll thicken up the formula. This is quite black, though. Okay. Yeah, I'm just not getting a lot of product on my lashes. So, this is a bad first impression. Mascaras though truly need multiple uses to be able to be reviewed, but I'm just not getting a lot of product in my lash. Okay, it's building up a little bit more now. It is giving volume. Not too much on the length front, but it's giving some definition, but we're definitely missing some length here. I don't know. I feel like it's just kind of coating my lashes. It's not really adding anything. Oh, I'm not liking this mascara. Oh, it's getting heavy. I'm having to keep layering it on to get some of the product on. And it's getting some chunks in some part. Okay, I got to stop now. I don't like this. Uh, I'm going to let it dry. Maybe I'll put a little bit more my lower lash, but I'm going to let it dry. See how it curls. That second coat did really help though with the lower lashes. I will clean up as well. But while this is drying, let's move on to the new H put beauty lip stains. So, they relaunched their entire range. She said it's like the same formula. It's literally just a new fill where they put more of the liquid in. So, it doesn't matter if it's laying flat or sitting up straight, you're going to get a good amount of pigment. So, for her regular ones, like here's baby pink. The issue was if it lies flat, it doesn't have a lot of ink. So, this one has been lying flat. This is my old formula and I can get some ink out of it, but it's not great. So, let me try one of the new ones, which has also been lying flat. See if there's more ink from this. I don't really notice a difference. They both look the same to me. These are both the same shades. They were both lying flat and they both give the same amount of pigment. So, um I don't really know. This these were laying flat for me. Here's another one that's been laying flat of the old fill rosewood. Okay, here's one of the new rosewoods that's been laying flat. Okay, there we see the difference. That one has a lot more pigment and they've both been laying flat. Okay, so we might be on to something here. I'll do cherry red. This one has been lying flat. This is the old one and it seems to just be doing aok. Okay. And then here's the new one. Cherry red. I mean, I think this one, yeah, it's a little bit more wet for sure. I guess there's an improvement there. I'm I'm going to be stuck with these for the whole video, aren't I? By the way, these are $25 and they launched three new shades. So, I thought I'd swatch the new shades with the new fill as well. You know what I got to say with HA? This is a fairly new product, like the first launch of these, and she very quickly fixed what the problem was. So, I do like that they're in tune with what people are saying. So, this is berry brown, rosy mauve. I'm going to like that one. Very cool. And then mocha. So, berry brown, rosy mauve, mocha. I like these. They're not too warm. They're nice cool shades. I'm going to do rosy mauve just a little bit. I don't love these style of products because I don't like liping products because my lips are naturally quite pigmented. So, I find the color completely changes on my lips and I typically don't like the color that the stains stain my lips. So, when it comes to these lip markers, I have to keep them outside of the lip line in order to get this true to color swatch. Like, I'll see where it's seeping onto my lips. It's just not nice looking. Okay, I was able to keep that pretty subtle. I'm happy with that. I mean, you can see where it touches the lip line, it completely changes color, so it ends up looking patchy. That's why I don't love this style of lip product, but I know so many people do. But as long as I'm able to keep it a little bit more sheer on the outskirts, I don't need to layer it on too much. Um, I'm actually pretty happy with this. So, so I just wanted to show you the new colors. Apparently, if you lay them flat now, you shouldn't have any issues with the ink. It's the same formula, just how they filled it is different. Uh, so yeah, I mean, that's great news if you're a fan of this because I know a lot of people really do love the Hood of Beauty. And if you were noticing with the originals they were losing ink, it's because probably you were storing them flat. You can fix that by just flipping them top down. And when you run out of that, get the new ones and they have a little bit more ink in them. So, your problem should be fixed, which is great. And the new shades are lovely and cool toned, which not a lot of lip stains are. So, I'm really happy about that. Okay, now let's move back to the lashes. Are we dry yet? No. They're still really soft feeling. Oh my gosh. I like it when my mascaras dry so that I can give them a good curl. Just trying to clean up some of my smudges that I made. My lashes look really crepey from the Makeup by Mario. G. Okay, curling these lashes are the last thing we're going to do. So, we're just going to move to the next product. PFI just launched these LSY Lips moisturizing matte blur lip stain. There are six shades. They're $24 each. A silky smooth matte lip stain that blurs and lasts for up to 8 hours. Comfortable, lightweight, buildable, never flakes or stains. So, I used this yesterday and I didn't notice much staining. So, I want to swatch them to see. One thing about the Kofi staining products is they're my favorite. Like, they have the best most unique colors. So, I'm hopeful for this. So this is noon chai. Really pretty. A more bold pink. I wore this one around yesterday. Earl gay masala soda totty. Now these look like they have a shine, but I did wear this yesterday. They are matte on the lips. Juju be fizz and mold wine, which these will be fun in the winter. I think I'll do Totty because it matches my lip liner today. But I want to see if these really do stain. But let me show you these. So this is Totty. So it looks like when you put it on, there's a glow to it, but you can see it kind of dries down and becomes matte. This lip shouldn't go anywhere. So, the idea of this is you're supposed to let this sit on the lips, wear it, and as it fades down, it's supposed to leave a stain underneath. So, you're always going to have a lip color on. I just find it interesting that the swatches on my arms, they have a glow to them because on my lips, it's matte. And it feels nice and lightweight. It honestly feels pretty hydrating. Yesterday when I wore a round Earl Gray, it did feel not drying, but almost powdery, but it's feeling thinner today, I guess, the way that I applied it. See if these left a stain behind. Ah, they did. And so, this is what I love about Kofi products. The stains don't turn warm. They stay really true to color as the original product. And Kofi also has unique colors that they use for staining products. So, I think this is amazing. So maybe when I wore Oral Gray, this I think might just be close to my lip color and that's why I didn't notice a stain. But see, I love how that actually stayed brown. But I love how this is matte because they do also have a glowy version, but the matte should last even longer. But for science reasons, let's see if it left a stain behind. It did. Again, because my lips are naturally a little bit more on the pigmented side, it's going to look really warm and bright on me. But that's just the way my lips turn stadium products, which is why I'm not a huge fan of them, honestly. But yeah, so even when this color fades, it's going to leave this color behind. So I'll always have color on my lips for a long time because you see transferless stained lips. Very cool. Okay, so Kofi does have my favorite staining lip products. So, I love that they have this matte version, but if you want something more hydrating, they also have a staining lip oil, which I think is one of the best on the market, and this continues that. I think this is really, really cool. So, yay. I wanted to share that because Kofi really does have the best staining products with the best colors. I would have loved to have seen even more colors on the scale of like Earl Gay, neutral, wearable colors that stain, but I think these are a hit. I think these are good, too. Now, to finish off, have my lashes dried? No. They're still a little sticky, but we've given them long enough. We got to give them a curl. I got to see if they hold a curl today. Sticking to the lash curler. They curled. Okay, let's see if they hold. I mean, overall, my lashes don't look bad. They definitely added product. And after I them brushed them out a little bit, I don't have any clumps and we have good separation. I don't know. I just didn't love the application of this mascara. You saw me struggling. It looks pretty good at the end of it, but I I know of a lot of other mascaras that look pretty good. So, I'll continue using these, but I really need the air to change this formula a bit for me to actually enjoy it because I don't have all day to wait for my lashes to dry. I don't have all day to layer this on because it's not applying product to my lash because the formula is too thin. So, we will see. As always, I was talking about a lot of first impressions throughout this video. Make sure you subscribe to my channel because I do have a series called Speed Reviews where I will keep you up to date on how these products actually worked for me after using them multiple times. So, I don't feel guilty about doing first impressions on my channel because I do come back and update you. So, you will hear about these again. But just a little overview of how I'm feeling about these products so far. I do think the beauty of Josan is a great price for Sephora and I do think it overall it's made my skin look really nice. It gave it a light leaning towards medium coverage and with all the product on my face. It's looking good. I do think it blurred my pores. I do think it evened everything out. It did everything that it was going to do. So, I'm liking this. It's not the best thing I put on my face, but I think it's very good. I actually am very impressed with the color correcting stains from one size. I think these are phenomenal. They just smell really funky. So, that is a turnoff. Was very, very disappointed in the Makeup by Mario shimmer eyeshadows. They just h I'm going to continue using these, but they didn't layer well. They're not sitting nicely on the eyelids. So, we'll see. I just I there's a lot of other shimmer lid products that I like a lot more than these so far, but I'm hoping maybe it's just the first impressions. For me, I'm not into the Nars mascara. Uh, overall, my lashes do look good, but the journey to get there was too much of a journey for mascara. The Huda Beauty lip contour stains, I love the new cool tone colors. I think that is really awesome. And assuming that the fill really is better now. Thumbs up on those. And then a big thumbs up on the Kofi matte lip stains as well. They do the best staining products if you ask me. So, if you want a longerl lasting matte lip where the actual product stays on the lips for even longer than a lip oil and then as it fades away, you'll continue to have a stain on your lips, that would be a great product for you. Stain products, I think, are great for people with 9 to5s or just busy people. You know who you are. If you don't have time to touch up and check on your lips all day, that's when these products are really great. So, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it helpful. Like I said, stay subscribed. I will keep you updated in the speed reviews and I will see you guys in the next one. Bye guys. Have a good one. >> It's delicious.
