Definitely try dirty talk in the O face lipsticks! It's the only shade I own in the line. Reminds me of the Essence lipstick you recommended and love!
Hi Jess could you please include where to buy your headband? Love it you look so pretty!
The preppy blush is no more...😢😢😢😢 Thanks #JessicaBraun ❤❤
Can you link that headband? It’s so cute!
No one looks good with a rock on there head.
Who else agrees that Jess looks soooo cute with that blue headband! ❤
Tysm!!!
@@itsjessicabraun Yeah! Thanks Jess, that’s in my shopping 🛒 already! 🥰
Yessss looks very Jasmine!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Where is it from? I love it!
@@hannahwillams9602 Yes, that’s it, Jasmine! I was trying to search the character, thanks!
I used to think that skincare in makeup was just a marketing thing, until I used the elf primer with niacinamide. My skin started randomly looking better and I was confused. Then I realized it was the only change I had made. It made a big difference for me! I ended up adding a more potent niacinamide in my skincare routine - but I credit the elf primer for introducing me to an ingredient than changed my skin!
Get the 10% niacianamide from the ordinary ❤ its only 10$ for 30ml
Would be a cool video if you went through your cart and explained why you added/ removed items
LOVE seeing you feature a vegan, cruelty-free brand! 🐰
Wow had no idea. I just assumed they tested on animals since their products are made in China and I won’t buy those types of cosmetics.
@@kristinam2719No, they do not. Also they do not SELL in China, which I believe is the difference. China can't tell you what to do and not to do if you don't offer your products to their residents.
@@kristinam2719manufacturing in China doesn’t affect the brand’s cruelty-free status, selling in China does. ELF isn’t sold in China 😊
Love this series! It is so nice to hear long term what works and what doesn't. Anybody can do new releases and have that honeymoon phase, but wearing it multiple times is where the rubber meets the road. A+ Jessica!
Watching your video while walking on the treadmill right now and the girl in front of me was watching the same one! We just bonded over our love for Jess! :) thanks for the upload!
Oh my gosh that’s so cool!!!
@@itsjessicabraunhey Jess what shades are u in the foundation and the clicky pen concealer?? I don't see your shade in description nor did I hear u say it. ..sorry I don't want to aggravate u babe ❤❤❤
How sweet!
I'm soo glad someone said how bad are elf concealers and i hate cc cream too!! I never got the hype of both products from influencers
I tried the cc cream and it looked so horrible not to mention it looked so yellow i looked like a Simpson 😂
The camo matte concealer is awful but I do like the hydrating one. It’s not the best thing ever but for the price it’s good.
Same! I got the concealer based on said recommendations, and it looked nice upon first application, but after a few hours and with every day wear, it was awful! It managed to break me out and make my skin dry and flaky at the same time 😬
The matte one is so bad, I couldn't let it sit for even a few seconds because then I could not blend it out at all and it would just break apart.
That CC cream ages me to no end!!
@@isaflores5077😂
The "dirty talk" shade in that lipstick is my personal fav! Now we need to see you do a comparison of the Supergoop unseen sunscreen and the new elf invisible sunscreen! And try the elf sunscreen spray throughout the day over your makeup and let us know how that works out!! ❤❤❤
My favourite too, I was coming here to the comments because I couldn’t believe she was talking about not having a great every day shade from this line when Dirty Talk exists, it’s perfect!
Yes totally keep a makeup bag at work with blotting papers, powder foundation, a cream blush and a few lip options. Oh and a hair brush and toothbrush! 🤣 never can be too prepared!
I need to figure out what to keep at work. By midday I look like I've been up all night.
Haha totally! Just a few little things can go a long way!
That's exactly what I keep!
Also spray deodorant in case I forget to put it on 😂. Also floss and gum
I always have all of that in my purse
I always bring a bag of my makeup with me everywhere for touch ups. Especially lip sticks or gloss, cause that's usually the first thing to go.
Talk about a throwback! This is how i found you back in 2013. ELF for the win! So lucky to have been along for the journey for so long :)
The shade Dirty Talk in the elf lipstick is beautiful!
I totally agree with you - I hate the way the camo CC cream looks, which is especially a bummer because it's $15!
I'm a teacher, too, and I always have a lipstick and blotting paper on my desk in the staffroom, but nothing else.
Loving this series, thank you❤❤❤
Everyone loved the camo foundation and I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY!!! Thank you for validating my feelings!!
The elf flawless foundation is so good. I’ve been through a whole bottle in like 4 months which is crazy (Note: the bottle is a lot smaller than a traditional foundations). My favorite way to use it is mixed with Asian style sunscreens to make a tinted sunscreen.
I love how relatable Jess is❤❤
I am a teacher, and I do keep a total face of makeup! I just started my 33rd year, and I almost always do my makeup at school because my skincare products need to soak in on my drive in.
I've been binging your videos and I just love the vibe you give off ❤
Something about choosing the products that works for you and your daily life just makes me feel good. Kind of breaking away from what we see on social media and trying to curate your own routine/system. I'm so bad at getting rid of stuff I know I won't use so seeing you do it is very refreshing 🤣
I'm watching this in my background at work and it's just so soothing! You're amazing woman. Don't ever stop making your videos.
I'm enjoying this series great video jess
Loving this series!!!!!
For the O face lipsticks, try Dirty Talk. Too light for my medium yellow-olive skin but would be a lovely everyday lip for you! (No Doubt fits me better)
Thank you, thank you, thank you Jessica for always commenting (in a detailed manner) on the scents of products for those "smell sensitive" among us 😊
this is sooo good!!
Thanks so much for doing this series! I love your content and I wanted to say I love the Elf lipstick in the shade " Dirty Talk"
I think it's meant to be a dupe for pillow talk and I love that shade of pink
Xoxo
I really like the finish and coverage of the Elf Flawless Satin foundation, but the scent gives me a headache so I can't use it. And I'm not particularly or overly sensitive to scents in products. There is just something in the fragrance that triggers a headache for me. I really enjoy the Hydrating Camo Concealer (I don't have the same issues that you described to be honest), but the CC Cream is horrible (I did experience the same issues as you). The Primer-Infused powders are excellent. The Elf Lash N Roll mascara is the best mascara Elf has ever made. The Halo Glow Liquid Filter is also so good and I agree that it does have some coverage! I really like the new undereye corrector/brightener. I do have the fair shade which is more pink and it definitely brightens! Now I don't have a ton of discoloration under my eyes so I can't speak to how well it truly correct darkness. Elf doesn't really have a brow product that is the right color for me tbh (anything light enough is too warm on me), but thankfully Wet N Wild does (ash brown) and it's super affordable as well. The Putty Bronzers blend away to nothing on my skin and the putty blushes are patchy af.
Jessica, I enjoy your videos over so many others! You appeal to such a variety of age groups who love makeup and fashion. Love your adorable sense of humor and I relate as a retired teacher but now realtor- and yes, I keep a makeup bag EVERYWHERE even in my car!
You are more beautiful with each video!
Love your channel Jess! Your format🎉is comfortable and I love listening to what you have to say
You look stunning today, Jess!! Everything is just absolutely working for you, including the blue headband! I had never considered using Elf anything until I started watching UA-cam videos a little over a year ago, around the end of your pregnancy, and I am shocked by how many of their products I actually like, some I even love!! The Holy Hydration moisturizer is my summertime go to. I had always worn high end makeup and was coming off of a several year love affair with It Cosmetics and, dang, but can the drugstore compete! And Elf is right up there! I really enjoy your full face of videos. Actually I enjoy ALL of your videos! I am 62 and you are by far my favorite UA-camr!! Your puff pastry pizza is on my to do list. Thanks for all!!
Such a good video. ELF are killing it right now & have some really great products. I'm loving the new primer & the brow lift & tool are sooooo good.
I wear almost all ELF every day so of course I clicked this video immediately! I totally agreed with you on almost everything! The halo glow liquid filter is my holy grail! It is perfection! Superb video Jessica!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you, Jessica!! Excellent information. ❤
Jess, Thanks for another super helpful product vid! I actually look for your opinion on products before I buy them, you are always honest and informative! I love Elf and Essence along with other “ drugstore “ product lines, there is really no need to spend A fortune anymore for great quality! ❤
I always love me a good elf makeup vid!
The nails, the lipstick, and the eyeshadow all being mauve just looks amazing ❤ Amazing video!!
The color combo of your hair color, together with the black top and blue headband is soooo beautiful, the thumbnail really caught my eye, you look amazing! ❤
Really enjoyed that! Emma x
I’m OBSESSED with the flawless brighten concealer! It’s great for everyday light coverage that I can use without foundation
I'm so excited! I love elf products!
This was FANTABULOUS 🥰. Thank you beautiful Jess! Looking forward to the next in this series😊
Xo 🇨🇦
I LOVE that blending brush! I have 2 of them and want MORE!
Thank you for doing this! I am a teacher and do my makeup at like 5 am and really need things to last and need little maintenance because who has time to do a ton of touch ups. I don’t keep a little makeup bag but I think I shall start doing that. I have all sorts of other essentials in my classroom like deodorant and such so a small makeup bag should just be just be a natural addition.
I appreciate you!!! 💛
Thanks Jess! This was super helpful. You didn’t talk about the halo glow powder, but it is one of my ride or die products in the summer…the perfect amount of glow, but does everything a powder is supposed to.
Notification squad!! Earliest I’ve ever been for a Jess video and I’m so excited
Thank you Jess, this was really helpful🙂
If I have a make up bag at work I rarely use it. But I do keep mascara and an eye brow pencil in my car. The brow pencil gets used regularly for touch ups. The mascara is priceless when I somehow forget to put it on 😂
Your makeup today looks so gorgeous and natural!
Yes!! Absolutely have a makeup bag for touch ups at work. It’s a must have for me.
I have one for uni haha I never get around to using it. I should though my eyelids get real oily 😅 needs powder
Excellent series ❤❤
You look fresh and that headband .. nice . I’ve enjoyed the price and quality of elf for a time now. Thanks for all the work you do to get updates to us for products and your suggestions for other things.
This video was “ADD TO CART” full of goodies! Love them!
Totally agree on the brushes. The eyeshadow 'C' brush is also amazing and hooded eye friendly
Jess, I so agree with you about the cc cream. I have never had a product that would just sit on top of my skin, never sink in and looking so crusty only an hour after putting it on.
The Woah Glow sunscreen did for sure cause pimples. I stopped using it for awhile and they stopped, thought I’d try again and it broke me out again. I do not have sensitive skin and hardly ever get breakouts.
Same for me. I don’t have breakout prone skin either. It was a bummer
Loving the hair and makeup in today’s video! 💖💜💙
I love the blonde moment Jess!
You got me hooked on the Misha BB Cream a long time ago and I absolutely love it! Kind of want to try the Satin foundation now though
Thanks for posting on my birthday!!🥳
I love their crease brush! And, I have a ton of brushes and appreciate this one the most. ❤
Love these type of videos. I have stuff from all different brands so it's interesting to see your favorite.❤
Thanks so much for this! I’ve tried Elf because of your recommendation and I’ve loved some!!!
Perfect for sharing 😊
Jessie, I love this type of video and have purchased many items on your recommendation
I love the elf ultimate blending brush for many things but I love it the most for applying self tanner or blending my self tanner on my hands and feet.
Love this headband and your style always!
Will watch you forever. Always will ❤your videos.
I love your floor videos ❤ it feels like a sleepover
My daughter introduced me to your channel and WOW! Your energy is infectious and I purchased some of the recommendations from this video - as advertised! Fun. Your channel is fun! ❤🎉❤
I couldn’t disagree more about the elf eyeshadow primer! It works amazing and keeps eyeshadow on my oily hooded lids all day without creasing. Even glitter stays on until I scrub it off at the end of the night. But yea the concealers really suck.
You look amazing!
Your makeup looks great!
Ultimate blending brusb from elf is AWESOME 😂❤
Rose water is my favorite of the bite size as well. I also love their primer infused bronzer. And yes, I have a work makeup bag 😊
Early crew! Perfect for my downtime after surgery
This video was a rollercoaster, I truly, audibly said “Jessica!!” When you said you didn’t like the camo concealer 😂 but strong agree on the camo cc, I was super disappointed
I’m a Disney cast member and I DEFINITELY carry makeup with me to work. Whether I need to touch up because I’m constantly in go mode in this ridiculous Florida weather, or it’s just one of those days where I do some makeup and leave myself the option to add more later depending on how the day goes, I almost never go without at least a lip gloss and some eye pencils😂
I recently just tried the CC Cream for the first time and actually really enjoyed it! Did well during a looooong day in heat here in a Colorado/ Wyoming.
When I was working, I used to keep a makeup bag in my purse! Now I only do if I'm going to be out for a long time/ at an event of sorts.
Love you Jess! 🩷🫶🏻🌻🪷
I love the lash it loud mascara I've repurchased and used it for a long time !
Your headband is so adorable. I love knotted headbands. I have quite a collection myself. You should do a headband collection video
My favorite colors in the glossy lip stain are Power Mauves and Spicy Sienna
I looooooove the camo cc. It does look a little crazy but my sponge brings it back to life and my skin looks better the longer I use it
My go to for the lipstick is Dirty Talk. Love this color!!
I love your nail color!!💕
Thank you!!
I keep a makeup bag at work too. I don’t use it often but when I need it it’s definitely handy to have. 🙌🏼❤️
Miss you Jessica ❤❤❤❤
I have really enjoyed your reviews. I really love the Catrice products. I agree with you that ELF products have evolved and there are now some great products in their line. Some of the earlier ones, not so much. They have learned and evolved and that is great for all of us!
I love the pallet elf shadows!
OMG Thank you for *finally* speaking the truth on the Camo CC Cream, because so many people recommend it, but I absolutely hated it. Creased SO BAD.
Can we see an updated skincare routine (morning and evening)?? You look so fresh and glowy lately ❤
Elf never fails for me ❤. The best at the drugstore - and honestly in general
Agree. Elf somehow gets a lot right. I feel like other drugstore brands are more hit or miss. I have a lot of high end makeup but reach for elf often.
I’m on my second elf eye quad shadow in rose water. It is AMAZING!!!
I love having a back up make up bag at work!!
I tried the CC Camo Cream this summer and loved it! I find that it stays all day, but I have to blend it really well so it doesn't look cakey. I appreciate the coverage and the finish. It was heavier than the average tinted moisturizer or CC cream, but I like it very much.
I love the camo hydrating concealer. I have a birthmark around my left eye and the concealer is thick enough to cover it.
Try the shade Pleased in the O Face lipstick. I think you might like that one!
Could you do a tutorial on the sequence of face makeup? SPF, primer, highlighter, foundation, concealer?? This may sound foundational, but I think the sequence is important. I love your postings/tutorials. I get a “clinical pearl” from every one of them.
I always get compliments when I wear the cream and sugar eyeshadow! 🤍🤎
Fun question for a video idea, when your daughters start wearing makeup what would you buy them for a starter kit and what techniques would you teach them
