I think the trick with Sigma shimmer eyeshadows is to use the sparkly shimmers as toppers, and the others are more like satins. They’re not going for a Sydney Grace shimmer formula, and I use them for different types of looks. I typically use one of the Sigma satins on the lid, then top it with one of their more sparkly shades, and the effect is really pretty. I do wish they had a few more traditional shimmer formulas though. I love their palettes, but I find I don’t use them as often because I don’t always want a sparkly look and that is where they really shine (no pun intended 😜). Also, the California Coast palette is much cooler toned than I expected, but WOW it makes green eyes pop in a really subtle way-it’s like it brings out hints of silver and blue I didn’t even know were there. Every time I use it I am so happy with the look. I never would have thought of myself as a cool-toned mauve eyeshadow person, but this palette really has my heart right now.
I also bought the Coffee Talk palette. It is, hands down, the one I am reaching for the most right now! Beautiful neutrals that make really nice eye looks. Sydney Grace is probably my all-time favorite eye shadow!
I love the Nars palette for an everyday Glam look. That is what I am calling my looks these days. This eyeshadow palette enables me to put together a quick and easy look that is still put together. It doesn’t fade away at the end of the day, either.
Hey Mandy Lea! Love the amount of info you pack into one video! Your look is great! But you need to do something to the sound quality; maybe you could hang a tapestry on the wall or add some upholstered furniture to soften the sharp edges? I usually enjoy all aspects of your presentations, but not this time. So, you have two excellent members of the Sigma family of quality eyeshadows here, but I'm waiting for the Alice in Wonderland collection which I've heard will blow all the others away. Thanks for all your energy and your recall of infinite detail!
So... I heard and enjoyed everything you said - but your look was so beautiful that I found myself constantly distracted. It's a truly stunning face of makeup and that eye look is incredible! But I listened ...I swear. 😘😁
Yay! So happy you picked up and also love the NARS products. They are one of my favorite brands!!! The bronzer looks beautiful and I can’t stop staring at your eyes!!! Very pretty! 😍
I’ve heard the Lancôme concealer called “the all over concealer” and also try taking the plushie thing off of the revlon concealer and it’s prob somewhat of a normal tip under it,I don’t like those either, just feel like they would hold bacteria and stuff and putting it on feels kinda gross 😂 but I did that with my maybelline perfectors because I just hated applying it with that sopping wet sponge thing 😖 love your channel and all your videos!! Try adding an area rug into your filming space to improve the sound,I had just seen a comment about your audio, which I don’t think is that bad but yea try a rug it will help 👍❤️❤️
The puff on liquid products is so effing gross imo. I haven't liked anything with it, including Charlotte Tilbury products because of the packaging. Being a person with probably 50 concealer I don't go through them fast enough so the product coagulates on the puff and it's unsanitary and feels yucky. Idk I hate it.
Love, love your videos!! You sail through the Ames of the products and then when you compare them you hold one up and then another and I get lost at times. Please really emphasise and even repeat the product. It was especially problematic in this video but I think I have mentioned it before. Can you put prices in your notes? Thanks I watch you regularly.
I have some sun damage on my upper chest from years ago that has caused permanent hyperpigmentation. The Mario skin enhancer is perfect for evening out my skin when wearing a top that shows my chest. Looks so natural! I don't use it as a typical bronzer.
Great video Mandy! I especially loved hearing your updates on the eyeshadow palettes and bronzers. I wonder if you've tried the Makeup Revolution cream bronzer?? I would love to hear what you think about it compared to the more expensive ones.
I’d love to try SGrace shadows one of these days, but I found their site was a bit tough to navigate. I gave up after a while when I tried to order the last time they were having a sale. To go back and forth with the screens just wasn’t working too well.
I've heard both a kink or a crick in your neck, and Google says nearly the same explanation for both terms. So, whatever you want to say is correct. Loved the video and eye look today!
I was just looking through the comments to see if anyone else mentioned the sound - the acoustics are definitely off in the new space. It is a pretty new studio but sounds like it needs some soft surfaces to absorb some of the sound bouncing off hard surfaces (I am an interior designer so that is my professional opinion! haha).
How funny I picked up all the same pallets during the Sydney Gracie sale. The tiny marvel, where the color things grow, Mountain Trail , California coast, and coffee talk. And I thought the same thing about coffee talk because I have that’s taupe from color pop and I have the glam palette I too thought although. Its Sydney Grace formula wow I’ve now got the same color story pallet 3 times over.
#MandyLea you know I love love love it when your videos are longer couldn't be more happy. Don't make them any shorter I'll have to stand on a box to watch. LMBO jk Love ya girl
Are you growing your hair out to your natural? I am but my hair is dark ash blonde (Grey) lol. Love you blonde but you will be stunning darker.y hair is curly blonde but wavy natural... what does your hubby like blonde or natural....do u consider that lol?
I think I’ve gotten three spam comments on my posts here. I know there’s probably nothing you can do about it - I did click the “Report” button, but I don’t know if anything will come of it 😮😮😕
Your camera skills are top notch. So clear and I Love the background. Best way to settle down for the night, thanks for the Great video
The audio, however ......
Yes! I was hoping with the new setup the audio would change, but it's still the same.
Ooh! Love a speed reviews video!!!

Love your eye colours. Beautiful.
Your facial bone structure is exquisite! You could put anything on your face and it shines! You are naturally beautiful!!
I also bought the Coffee Talk palette. It is, hands down, the one I am reaching for the most right now! Beautiful neutrals that make really nice eye looks. Sydney Grace is probably my all-time favorite eye shadow!
SG is my favorite eyeshadow, they are all I want to use right now.
love your videos

Can’t agree more,

The eye look is gorgeous! Definitely your colors.
Thank you so much for doing this video. Comparisons and updated thoughts are really helpful.
Your eye makeup is absolutely gorgeous!

Thanks for the love, Mandy! So glad you've been enjoying your DreamStick Blushes 😍💗

All of those concealers with a sponge applicator, just remove the sponge , works better and you don’t waste as much product
I have some sun damage on my upper chest from years ago that has caused permanent hyperpigmentation. The Mario skin enhancer is perfect for evening out my skin when wearing a top that shows my chest. Looks so natural! I don't use it as a typical bronzer.
Love your videos! So surprised you don’t have more followers!
Great video Mandy! I especially loved hearing your updates on the eyeshadow palettes and bronzers. I wonder if you've tried the Makeup Revolution cream bronzer?? I would love to hear what you think about it compared to the more expensive ones.
Love your eye look today!
Would you consider reviewing the new Mercier eye palette?
I just built a Sydney Grace pallet during the sale because you have raved over her singles. I adore it!
You can switch out some of the colors in the Sydney Grace palette, right? I think they do magnetic palettes.
Love SG Tiny Marvels! I just received their Temptalia collection. I got all 3 palettes for $58 during their sale...amazing!
Will you do 7 looks on NARS palette? Would love to watch it!
Love your outro “blooper” lol. I say kink in my neck.

Beautiful eye look today ❤️
I love your hair and your videos ❣️😻
I love that 9pan purple pallet
I've heard both a kink or a crick in your neck, and Google says nearly the same explanation for both terms. So, whatever you want to say is correct. Loved the video and eye look today!
I always say kink in my neck
Sydney grace coffee palette is like colour pop going coconuts
The echo is so loud… i have a hard time listening. Is there no fix?
Ok. Question. Is the new juvias place pastel palette a dupe of the Natasha Donona?
Its like she went from all drugstore to all high end.
Okay, love the Speed reviews 👏!
The audio is a tad off, but amazing content.
New Sub! Love what I'm seeing so far! 💜🇨🇦

Hey do you happen to know when the biggest Sydney Grace sale of the year is is it Black Friday, Christmas in July or do they have anniversary sales?
The biggest sale is definitely Christmas in july. For sure.

Great video!!! Thanks for the reviews :-) I may try the lip liner.
Thank you for this video Mandy! You are so stunning and no one does eyeshadow like you😍
Is it true that Revlon is going bankrupt? Did they file for Chapter 11? Does anyone know if they are closing or will they be bought out like BH?
What shade of the tent idols concealer are you?
Ethan is amazing. Thank you for sharing his channel!
