00:00Hey guys, it's me Anne, and this is Beauty With Me.
00:02When you think of QVC, your mind may immediately go to really excitable TV presenters
00:10selling things like Tupperware, and slippers, and socks, and mops.
00:16The shopping network has actually become a really big destination for beauty.
00:22In fact, QVC is kind of credited for launching IT Cosmetics
00:26and making it the phenomenon that it is today.
00:28So I thought it would be fun to reach out to QVC and find out what their best-selling products
00:33are.
00:34I have them all in a bag right here, and I'm going to put them all to the test today.
00:39But before we get started, please make sure you are subscribed down below.
00:42Beauty With Me comes out every Monday at 11am, and please follow me on Instagram.
00:46My handle is atmian.chan.
00:48We'll start with primer.
00:50This is the Laura Geller Spackle Under Makeup Primer.
00:53It's supposed to smooth over pores, kind of spackle them over, I guess.
00:57We'll see.
00:58And I'm going to check in with you guys at the end of the day.
01:01I want this full face is on to let you know how all these products wore.
01:04I'm going to put that onto my face where I get the most oily and brush on one side,
01:09and then I'll do fingers on the other side.
01:12So, I gotta say, I'm kind of surprised.
01:14I read the word spackle on that bottle and was kind of like,
01:19oh, this is going to be very heavy.
01:21I feel like it's creating a nice even layer for foundation,
01:23but it doesn't feel like it's suffocating my skin.
01:25So, let's move right along.
01:27Next, we have the It Cosmetics Anti-Aging Full Coverage CC Cream.
01:30This is a very popular product.
01:32It's quite dewy, and it actually has great coverage,
01:35considering that it is like an alphabet cream.
01:37It also has SPF 50.
01:39I'm wearing the shade Light.
01:41And this is supposed to cover everything color correct,
01:44not crease or crack into fine lines,
01:46and provide some protection and hydration.
01:48It has excellent coverage.
01:50I mean, look at this.
01:51It has excellent coverage.
01:52Next up on the concealer front, we have the Tarte Shape Tape Concealer,
01:55which comes with a sponge and is supposed to brighten, cover imperfections,
02:00but I do think it actually blends quite nicely out.
02:05This is a very matte concealer.
02:07I can really see it under my eyes,
02:09but I'm just tapping this in with my finger to warm it up.
02:12I do tend to like very emollient concealers,
02:15so I do think that this one is a little bit on the matte side,
02:18so we'll see how this wears into the eyes
02:21and if it starts to look a little chalky.
02:23So, to set all my work, I'm going to use this It Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores
02:27Poreless Finish Airbrush Powder.
02:29It's supposed to give an airbrushed effect, absorb oil, and smooth over pores.
02:35It comes with a little puff.
02:37Whoa, can you see that on camera?
02:39My pores are like gone on this side.
02:41Whoa!
02:42Okay, so I'm going to use a brush on the other side.
02:45It does blur with the brush, but I don't think it blurs as well.
02:49Like, I feel like I have to use more product to get the same blurring effect that I did just
02:52using this puff on the other side.
02:55Here we have the Tarte Amazonian Clay 12 Hour Wear Blush in the shade Exposed.
03:00It's supposed to be very long-wearing.
03:01The Amazonian Clay is supposed to actually balance the moisture and oil levels in your skin,
03:05and it's supposed to be fade-free, so that's a tall order for a blush.
03:08I will say you do kind of have to build this color up to get like a very strong flush.
03:13I don't think that I have any immediate opinions on it yet.
03:16We'll see if it actually wears for 12 hours.
03:18Next up, we have bronzer, and this is the Laura Geller Baked Bronzed Brighten Powder.
03:23Apparently, it's supposed to brighten and bronze the skin.
03:26It's supposed to look very natural on.
03:28We will see.
03:29I don't really think it brightened my skin, per se, but I don't think it looks ready.
03:34I think it actually blended in really nicely.
03:36Let's move on to highlighters, shall we?
03:38This is the Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighter in the shade Champagne Pop.
03:42Sweep it onto cheekbones, and it is high impact.
03:45I mean, like, I am.
03:47You can really layer it on for, like, really megawatt shine, but what's nice about it is
03:53it lasts a really long time, and it just hits the light in such a gorgeous way.
03:57Highlighter, and it's a good one.
03:59There are some bad ones.
04:00You know.
04:01On the primer front, we have the Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion.
04:04It claims to keep your eyeshadow from creasing, make your eyeshadow look more vibrant,
04:09and give you smoother application.
04:11Boom.
04:13Boom.
04:13Might do some under, lower lash line work.
04:17It's a great primer.
04:18It works.
04:19I know it works, so.
04:20On to eyeshadow palette, and the best-selling eyeshadow palette is the Urban Decay Naked 3 Eyeshadow Palette.
04:25It has some nice mattes, some nice metallic shimmers.
04:29The Naked palettes are really great for people who really love, like, neutral, bronzy looks.
04:34I'm gonna go into Limit, and put that all into my crease as, like, kind of a transition shade.
04:39Then I think I'm gonna go into Trick, all over the lid.
04:44Getting a little bit of glitter fallout here, but honestly, for a shadow that's this shimmery,
04:49I would be surprised if it didn't have any fallout.
04:52I'm going to go into Dust, get it poppin'.
04:56I do think that the shadows themselves, like the matte shade, blended super beautifully.
05:00I think that the shade selection, if you're looking for something neutral, you'll probably love it.
05:06I'm gonna finish this entire right side of my face, in terms of eye makeup, and then move on to
05:11the left side.
05:11So, I'm going to move on to eyeliner.
05:13We have the Mali Evercolor Starlight Waterproof Eyeliner, in the shade Dark Chocolate.
05:18And this liner is supposed to glide on easily, and last all day.
05:23So, I'm gonna use this, kind of wing it out.
05:26I think that this bronzy, kind of dark chocolatey shade will work well with the kind of bronzy colors that
05:31are already on my lid.
05:34Then I'm gonna go in with this brush, and smudge it a little bit, just to make it look a
05:39little more diffused.
05:41Yeah, that eyeliner went on really smoothly.
05:44I think it's set very fast, so I didn't have a ton of time to smudge it.
05:47But I do like the way it looks.
05:49I think it was easy to draw the little wing.
05:51We'll see if it lasts all day, though.
05:53Next up, we have Waterproof Mascara.
05:55And this is the IT Cosmetics Tightline Waterproof Black Mascara Primer.
05:59I actually requested info on their best-selling waterproof mascara.
06:02I always do waterproof.
06:03I kind of think of it as hairspray for my eyelashes.
06:05I've never used this before, but apparently it's supposed to be your eyeliner, your mascara, and your primer all in
06:12one.
06:12It's supposed to last for 12 hours.
06:15So that's a lot.
06:17Alright, moment of truth.
06:18I'm taking this teeny tiny brush.
06:20So that's definitely holding a curl, but it is very natural looking.
06:25So this is giving me a lot of great definition.
06:27It's giving me some length.
06:29It is kind of cool because you can really get to the bottom of your eyelashes, really scoop up.
06:34I think this is going to be great for bottom lashes.
06:37On its own, I think that it's not giving me definition and volume as I would want.
06:41So I have the IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara here, which is another popular mascara.
06:47It is not the best-selling waterproof mascara because it's not waterproof.
06:50But let's see if I can get a little bit more volume.
06:54Alright, so that's the mascara.
06:54I think that that primer is great if you want a very natural look.
06:59If you want to wear it on its own, I think that layered with another mascara, it looks good.
07:03I don't think it holds a curl as well as some other mascara formulas do.
07:07I'm going to do the other eye now.
07:09So that is the eyes done.
07:12I'm going to move on to lips now.
07:14The final step.
07:15This is the Givenchy Rouge Entarde Temptation Black Magic Lipstick.
07:19What's cool about it is that it looks like completely black in the tube.
07:23When I put it on, I think it's going to become like a plummy shade.
07:26Alright, so basically the claims are, react to your pH to create your own custom sensual shade.
07:33And it has rose oil in it to hydrate.
07:36It smells really good.
07:40Looks black right now.
07:43I think I had the exact same reaction to this product on my first use date.
07:47Alright, so I'm going to blot it a little bit, get the excess product off,
07:49because I think that's what the issue here is.
07:51Boom. I mean, look at that.
07:52So much better.
07:53This is a really pretty stain.
07:55I think that I really overdid it on the application.
07:57There was too much product on my lips, therefore not all the product was transforming on my lips.
08:02And now I think it's perfect.
08:04It looks like a perfect little berry stain.
08:06I think it looks really pretty.
08:08No complaints.
08:09So this is the full face of QVC Best Sellers on.
08:14I will check in with you guys at the end of the day to let you know how all of
08:17it wore.
08:18See you then.
08:19Hey guys.
08:20It is 8pm and I've been at the office for quite some time now and I want to go home.
08:25It's very dark, so I figured I would just vlog and end this video right now.
08:29I've been wearing this makeup for 11 hours, so not quite the 12 hour mark, but pretty close.
08:33And I gotta say it actually is holding up really well.
08:36My skin looks pretty matte still.
08:39The blush and bronzer have faded some.
08:41Highlighter is still there.
08:43Eyes wise, I think the colors from the palette kind of mix together, but the overall eye look I still
08:49like.
08:50It's a pretty, you know, it's a nice bronzy eye.
08:53Eyeliner hasn't creased at all.
08:54Definitely is long wearing.
08:56Got a little bit of smudging into the eye.
08:57I think that might have been the non waterproof mascara that I applied over top of the waterproof one.
09:01The lipstick is super comfortable.
09:04Definitely something you have to reapply.
09:06I mean, it's essentially a tinted lip balm, but it was very comfortable to wear.
09:09I think overall I'm happy with the look.
09:11So I will see you guys next week.
09:14Bye!
09:15Thanks so much for watching, guys.
