00:00Hey guys, it's me Anne, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:03In case you haven't noticed, the holidays are creeping up upon us and budgets are tight.
00:08I know I don't want to be spending a ton of money on new makeup.
00:10I want to find affordable pieces that'll give me a good look, but that I can maybe also give as
00:15gifts.
00:15Luckily, the drugstores have a ton of new makeup these days,
00:18and I'm going to put five new products to the test on my face today.
00:22First things first, foundation.
00:24I have this new cushion foundation from Wet n Wild.
00:27It's SPF 15. I hear it has pretty good coverage too, so I'm very excited because if you can't tell,
00:33I have two giant pimples on my face.
00:34So the brand's launching a bunch of new brushes.
00:37This is just the foundation, but it has a nice little reservoir tip.
00:40In here, I guess it's supposed to hold foundation.
00:42I'm going to apply it with a brush to half my face,
00:45and then I'm going to attempt to use this little sponge that it comes with on the other half.
00:51First things first, brush.
00:55Ooh, that's a lot of coverage.
01:00I'm going to go in and try the same, but with the sponge on the other side.
01:08I mean, it covered up my pimples pretty well too.
01:11The redness is really, really visibly reduced.
01:13I'm quite impressed with this.
01:16I like it.
01:16So next up with the face products, I have these really awesome highlighters from Physicians Formula.
01:23They're brand new.
01:24They're called the Butter Highlighters.
01:26They have a pink, a frosty white, a bronze, and a gold color.
01:33It really feels like room temperature butter.
01:35Like if you're going to put your finger in like a stick of butter that's been sitting out,
01:38it has this like wet, creamy feeling, and it goes on like a cream, but as I'm blending it, it's
01:45like a powder.
01:48Wow, that's so pretty.
01:52So next up I have this setting spray from Flower, which is Drew Barrymore's line.
01:56It is brand new, and it's called the Sealadiel Long Lasting Setting Spray Matte Finish.
02:03That's what I like.
02:04Now I'm going to do this only on half my face, just because I want to be able to see
02:09how the foundation holds up on its own without anything.
02:11So my face is done, and I'm going to move on to eyes, and I have this beautiful palette from
02:16NYX that just launched.
02:18It's part of the In Your Element collection, and this is the metal version.
02:21They also have an air version, a water version, a fire version as well, but this one is all metallic
02:28shade.
02:29Look how pretty that is!
02:31I'm obsessed.
02:33It has some beautiful purples, some burgundy, even a really beautiful blue.
02:38So I'm going to go in with this color first, this kind of like silvery pinkish shade.
02:44I'm going to use a brush, but I have a feeling these might be better applied with fingers.
02:49They apply really nicely, even with a brush.
02:51No matte shades though, which is, in my opinion, a bit of a problem.
02:55But I'm going to go in with this brush on the tip of it.
03:01So honestly, just wearing this one shadow all over my lid under my lash line, I could stop there.
03:08But I want to go a little bit more intense and maybe do a little halo eye.
03:12I've been dying to use this lavender, so I'm going to dip into it.
03:16It's subtle, but it's going to help open up my eye.
03:19It's going to create like a halo effect.
03:21I like it.
03:22I'm into it.
03:23I'm going to follow up with some mascara.
03:25I think I'm going to call it quits after that.
03:30I'm going to move on to lips now.
03:32The last step in my routine.
03:34I have some really exciting lipsticks.
03:36They're from L'Oreal, and they are the collection the brand did with the Fashion House Bulma.
03:43I have three shades, Confession, Freedom, and Urban Safari.
03:48So I'm going to go with Confession, which is this beautiful tawny pink.
03:55I was wrong when I said this is pink.
03:57This is like a nice, on the lips, it actually looks more peach.
04:00I don't know if this is the shade for me, guys.
04:03So on the fence about the color of the lipstick, but the formula is super smooth.
04:07It's opaque.
04:09The tapered edge makes it very easy to apply, and I love that L'Oreal is teaming up with a
04:14brand like Balmain.
04:15It's cool that you can get a little slice of luxury at the drugstore at a really affordable price.
04:19Plus, it would make a good gift, right?
04:22So this is my face done, and I'm going to go about the rest of my day,
04:25and I'm going to check in in a couple hours, and we'll see how this makeup is holding up.
04:29See you then.
04:30Hey, guys.
04:31So it is around noon.
04:32It is a super gloomy day in New York, so I'm not too sad to be inside.
04:36I just had my lunch, and I've got to say the makeup is holding up pretty swimmingly.
04:41Look at it.
04:43I've got to say I'm very impressed with the foundation from Wet n Wild.
04:47On the side with the setting spray, I'm not noticing a huge difference.
04:53It looks a little shinier here on the side that I didn't set it, but nothing too crazy,
04:57so maybe throughout the day more we'll be able to see if the setting spray is really keeping the side
05:01on.
05:01The lipstick, I didn't really like it at first, but now I'm into it.
05:07But the actual eyeshadow, I love.
05:09I love this metallic shade.
05:11It's holding up pretty well.
05:12It's not creasing yet, so fingers crossed.
05:16We'll see if it's still the same case in a few hours.
05:19So we just got back from our little smoothie run.
05:21Yes.
05:22And we got rained on.
05:23I still think it looks really good, the eyes.
05:25I think the foundation still looks really good.
05:27I agree.
05:28But I haven't asked you yet.
05:30I'm only wearing setting spray on one side of my face.
05:34Which side do you think it is?
05:35She's like a setting spray connoisseur, so this is interesting.
05:39What setting spray?
05:40It's the Flower.
05:41Flower has a new mattifying setting spray.
05:45Okay.
05:46That one.
05:47How did you know?
05:48It's matte.
05:49You can tell.
05:50Yay!
05:52Snaps for Flower Beauty.
05:53Alright, well I will check in with you guys in a few hours for some final thoughts.
05:59Hey guys, I am back in my house.
06:01It's around 11.30pm just hanging out with my kitty cat right there.
06:04She's just being a cat.
06:06Don't know what she's doing.
06:07As you can see, the makeup has significantly faded.
06:11Which is to be expected after even wearing it for like 10 hours or so.
06:17The foundation, honestly, I'm so impressed with.
06:20It looks great.
06:21I'm probably going to wear it tomorrow.
06:22The side that I set it with the spray is definitely a little bit more matte than the other side.
06:27Although you can't really tell the difference.
06:28Lipstick wise, it did come off as soon as I started eating.
06:32Which is honestly pretty normal when it comes to traditional lipstick.
06:36Highlighter wise, you can still kind of see the highlighter.
06:39But it's faded a lot.
06:41But I do think that it's a beautiful one if you want a subtle highlight that just gives you that
06:47glow rather than that metallic beam.
06:51Eyes have started creasing and they started smudging a lot.
06:55Overall, I really liked the palette.
06:56I would 100% wear primer under these shadows.
06:59I don't think that you would be able to go on your own without one.
07:03So that is my two cents on all of these new drugstore products.
07:08If you guys try any of these, please let me know in the comments below.
