    Hi Lexi!! I’ve been eagerly waiting to hear your thoughts on the new VB eyeshadow sticks. The colors and finishes had me wanting them immediately, especially the yellow and pink. They just are such happy colors to me. I’ve been using Serin and Ravissante from Surrat to hold me over for now. I think you wear color so beautifully and effortlessly and love how you pair colors. You are so talented! Love all you do Lexi and so thankful for you!! ❤

    Great comparison video thanks Lexi - I have a handful of BB/Guerlain/Lancome sticks, and they all perform well. But I've ordered 3 of the VB eyewear now to try. I was super impressed with VB eye liners... they are my favourites as they are so creamy and easy to apply. I love the look of the Sisley too though - such a great colour range as well - so thanks for comparing those too. I might try a tester next time I'm in Selfridges, and see. Many thanks.

You were one of the first I've seen review the line and I was always hoping to see you receive pr from them one day bc of all of your reviews and support you've given the brand from inception. Absolutely agree with your assessment of them as I was going to say the same things lol. The longevity factor is a wow...14.5 hours...you really put things to THE test!! The colours are also more impactful vs Hourglass so the VBB and BB are going to be reached for more.

    What a thoroughly enjoyable video! I am becoming more interested in cream shadow sticks now my eyes are more crinkly as I find they can give my eye lids an illusion of moisture! The VB yellow and candy pink shades looked really fun on you and were an unexpected hit! And congrats on getting the shadows from VB in PR - totally deserved! I hadn't heard such good things about the By Terry so have never used but I do love my Sisley Phyto Twist shadows for quality and ease of use. Topaz is fabulous and also the Rose Bronze and Pearl shades too.
    Your comparisons were great - I like the HG olive shade but agree it was too sheer in the first place - much better to have more pigmentation that you can sheer out. Thanks so much for the effort you put in doing this video and wear test - you always go the extra mile 😊

    Hi Lexi, thank you for this video! Your reviews are always so thorough and helpful. I love the color range of the new VBB eyeshadows, they all look so beautiful. I especially want to get the matte shades, I do feel though that in some images Macaron looked even a bit purple/lavender, not as pink, but it’s still a lovely color and I love using pink eyeshadows, plus the look you created with it and Sunflower looked super pretty and perfect for spring.
    I know the formulas are very different but I was wondering if you think Trench is similar to V_FR’s Petite Culotte in terms of color, because I love Trench but if it’s similar to Violette’s I’m not sure if I’ll get it now since I’m nowhere near finishing that Yeux Paint.

I have seen reviewers say they don’t have a problem with it and other also, mine is a little bit dryer in comparison with example oyster, what are your thoughts about that color (pecan) the formula?

    • @LexiJong
      @LexiJong Рік тому +1

      Someone else mentioned to me they had trouble with one of the shades too. I bet there are some inconsistencies in the batches. I don't have trouble with Pecan but my trench shade is slightly drier. None of mine have become patchy yet but I typically use the Viseart eye primer underneath which is a silicone base so it helps a bit with the glide. You may want to try a Bobbi Brown stick as those can be a little creamier and they have a huge range of colors so there is bound to be one similar to Pecan.

      I don't have the Burberry sticks but I used to have the LM sticks. I found the LM sticks were a little drier in general than the Bobbi Brown and the staying power with the Bobbi Brown is slightly better on me. In comparison with the HG and VBB, I would say the LM texture is in between the two of these brands but LM has a ton of shades and finishes so you have more options but in general the HG are still going to be softer in pigmentation levels and the VBB will be more equivalent. For me, I have slightly better wear with these newer sticks over the LM but it is still pretty close.
