Let me know what you think and if there are products you want me to put to test :)

00:00Hey guys, it's me Yann, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02I don't know about you, but the end of summer tends to bring up an array of mixed feelings.
00:08It marks the slow descent into fall, the beginning of a new school year, shorter days.
00:15But on the bright side, it brings an onslaught of tons of new beauty products.
00:19Woo!
00:20Still, with everything hitting the market at such a fast pace, it can be really overwhelming
00:25to shop for new makeup.
00:26Even for someone like me, whose literal job it is to stay on top of new releases.
00:31So, I thought I would put five of the buzziest new products to the test in hopes that it will
00:36guide you in your shopping experience.
00:39I've got a few things today that I'm really excited to try.
00:43I have not touched any of these things.
00:45The first of which is Too Faced's new Comfort Matte Foundation, Glossier's powder, wow-der,
00:53Dose of Colors New Highlighters with fellow YouTubers Desi and Katie, the Anastasia Beverly
01:00Hills Subculture Palette, and last but not least, the Bite Amuse Bouche Liquefied Lipsticks.
01:09So, let's put these on my face.
01:11I have never used this foundation before, so I'm not super positive what my shade is.
01:16I think it's warm nude.
01:17So, it's oil-free, 14-hour wear, oil-controlling, and photo-friendly.
01:22It doesn't feel like foundation, to be honest.
01:25It feels like a tinted moisturizer, which is nice.
01:26A lot of matte foundations have a tendency to look cakey or dry or cling to dry patches
01:32on your face.
01:33This one isn't doing that.
01:35It's not very high coverage, which I actually prefer.
01:39It looks so skin-like.
01:42So, I'm going to move on to powder now.
01:45I was very shocked when they came out with this powder, because Glossier is all about
01:49like, dewy, dewy, dewy, dewy skin, but they say this is like, the new powder.
01:53So, what I'm going to do is, I'm going to set half my face with this powder, so that I
01:58can see how well the powder works with foundation, but I also want to see how the foundation holds
02:02up on its own.
02:04So, I'm going to ask my crew which side of my face I should powder.
02:07Guys.
02:08Left.
02:09Okay, left.
02:12It's nice.
02:13I mean, it's a powder.
02:14I will say it looks really good.
02:15It doesn't look cakey on my face at all.
02:19My pores look smaller on this side, I think, than the other side, but so far so good.
02:25So, I am going to move on to Le Highlighter.
02:29I've been so excited about these Dose of Colors highlighters.
02:32On one cheek, I think I'm going to use a fan brush.
02:36And then the other cheek, I'm going to use a tapered highlighter brush, just because I'm
02:41curious to see how they apply.
02:45Okay, so the fan brush is applying it pretty sheer.
02:49But this one, actually, you can build it up really nicely.
02:51Let's see what happens with this tapered brush.
02:54Yeah, this one's definitely, I think, going on a little bit stronger.
02:57I think I prefer it with this brush.
02:59It looks really pretty.
03:00I wonder how it will last throughout the day.
03:03Because highlighter tends to just kind of disappear on me.
03:05We'll see.
03:06This palette launched, I think in August, and received a lot of flack.
03:13Namely, because a lot of consumers were saying that the eyeshadows were really powdery and
03:20not of the same quality as other Anastasia Beverly Hills eyeshadows.
03:24Sticking my finger in Roxy, this pretty pink shade.
03:27And, whoa.
03:29Is that pigmented that is?
03:31Okay.
03:32Axis.
03:33That one was powdery, guys.
03:35Mercury.
03:37All-star.
03:39Ugh.
03:39I'm into that one.
03:41I'm so into that one.
03:42That was so pretty.
03:45Do you see this right now?
03:47I'm going to use Adorn all over my lid because it's so pretty.
03:50It's so metallic and gorgeous.
03:51So I'm going to use that.
03:52The formula for this one does feel a little bit drier, but the pigment is there, definitely.
03:58And then I'm going to buff a little bit of the new wave shade into my crease just to blend
04:05it out.
04:05I'm going to put a little bit of Roxy in my crease, too, just because I really want to use
04:08this color.
04:09The shadows are applying really nicely.
04:12I think they're blending well, too.
04:14I'm going to not wear eyeliner.
04:17And I'm going to use this eyeshadow instead.
04:20I'm going to put a little bit on my lower line, just like for some extra definition.
04:27The last thing that I have here is the Amuse Bouche Liquified Lipstick from Byte.
04:32So this is not supposed to be a true liquid lipstick.
04:35It's supposed to be like a very hydrating kind of satin finish.
04:40It's a little shinier than I had hoped it would be.
04:43I think that I'm going to blot it a little bit just to tone down the shine.
04:48Voila!
04:49Who's going to buy this for a thousand dollars?
04:51And that is my full face done.
04:54I just added some bronzer and some mascara.
04:56But I have a few fun activities planned to test out this makeup throughout the day.
05:01I think I'm going to go shopping, walk around downtown New York a little bit,
05:05maybe have some lunch at a halal cart.
05:07And then at the end of the day, I'm going to go meet my friend at this really cool rooftop
05:10bar
05:10at the Conrad Hotel called Loopy Doopy.
05:12They have popsicle drinks.
05:15I'm very excited about it.
05:17Let's get on with the day, shall we?
05:27Alright guys, I'm kind of halfway through my chicken gyro here.
05:33Lipstick's pretty much off.
05:34I just kind of like lick it off because I didn't want it to get all over my sandwich situation.
05:39So I'm going to top it off a little bit so you can see.
05:42It's nice because you can apply it like a lip balm.
05:44It feels really, really hydrating on the lips.
05:47I'm going to go do some errands.
05:49I'm going to grab some stuff at some shops.
05:50So stay tuned.
05:59Alright!
06:00So I did some errands.
06:02I'm actually most impressed honestly with how vibrant the eyeshadow looks,
06:06even if I go far away.
06:09You can still see it.
06:10I'll see you later.
06:11Bye!
06:20My friend Rachel is going to come visit me and we're going to have some popsicles together.
06:25Hi!
06:25It's been so long!
06:27Nice to meet you!
06:32Alright, so I'm here with Rachel.
06:35We've got our popsicles.
06:36Cheers!
06:37Let's taste it.
06:41It's really good.
06:42I'm going to ask her about my makeup.
06:44What do you think?
06:45The eyeshadow looks amazing.
06:46Really?
06:47I also was very pleased with it.
06:49Yeah.
06:50Right when I saw you today, I was like, it really glows.
06:52That's great.
06:53I think that it is a little bit smudging on the bottom, but I think it's 5 o'clock.
06:57I think that that's pretty normal at that point.
06:58So you've been wearing it for a while?
06:59I've been wearing it for a while.
07:00I started at like 9 a.m.
07:02What powder are you using?
07:04Glossier Wowder.
07:05Oh, I've heard a lot of buzz about that.
07:07What do you think of it though?
07:08Does it look good?
07:08Does it look like skin?
07:09It looks really good.
07:10I think it does too.
07:11What highlighter is this?
07:12Because this is glowing.
07:14It's the Dose of Colors Desi and Katie highlighter, those two YouTubers.
07:18And they did a good job because it's so metallic.
07:20Yeah.
07:20And you can really build it.
07:21I put a lot on.
07:22I think this eyeshadow with this highlighter is 100%.
07:28You're so nice.
07:30All right.
07:30Well, sounds like we got the Rachel Chen approval.
07:33Do you want to take some rooftop selfies?
07:35Heck yeah.
07:38All right, guys.
07:39So I am back.
07:40It's around 7 p.m.
07:42So I've had this makeup on for like 10 hours.
07:45And I've got to say it's still looking pretty fresh.
07:49The foundation, I think, feels so good.
07:51I think I'm going to wear it tomorrow.
07:52If you're not huge into powder, but you do want to powder your face,
07:55I would say maybe spring for something a little bit cheaper.
07:58I do think this powder is lovely.
08:00But I will say that I didn't think I necessarily needed it.
08:04The lipstick, it's definitely not something that I would wear
08:07if I needed to depend on my lipstick for 12 hours straight.
08:11But it's still very comfortable and nice.
08:13And since my lips are dry, I was like,
08:14thank you.
08:16The highlighter is still like really going strong.
08:20I will say that because it is so metallic,
08:22it does have a tendency to go a little bit powdery.
08:25It's nothing crazy.
08:26You're not going to be like,
08:27whoa, that's like straight up powder on your face.
08:28But if you look really closely, it does look like that.
08:30The eyeshadow, I think I was really, really impressed with it,
08:34which I was really surprised about because, again,
08:37I had heard so many mixed reviews about the palette.
08:39It's not a beginner palette.
08:40That's what I would say.
08:41All in all, I liked everything that I put on my face today,
08:45which I'm honestly not that surprised by
08:48because I had heard so much about them.
08:50Like I had high hopes and they performed.
08:53So let me know what you guys think of the products
08:55or if you buy any of these.
08:57And let me know what I should try next on Beauty With Me
