HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! Thank you so much for hanging out with me in 2023...I appreciate each and every one of you. Here's to an amazing 2024! 🥳🥳🥂🥂🍾🍾
I honestly cannot think of a single person on UA-cam (or anywhere) that does it better than Jen when it comes to these kinds of videos. So many details and observations with every single example. Even though we are just talking about fun makeup, Jen really shows just how smart she is in general with the way she analyzes and delivers info. Definitely a very bright (and honest) woman. 👍👍 👑
Thank you for pronouncing yucca correctly!! It's been bugging me that others are not saying it right. The yucca plant grows here abundantly so I've know that plant a while and this palette makes sense in its color story.
0:13 I have a ton of Revlon lipsticks and I love them. My understanding is they are the number one selling lipstick in the United States. So, whether influencers like them or not, consumers are smart enough to pick a Revlon Lipstick @ 9.99 instead of the average lipstick price point being 39.00. Thank you Jen for the information.
I'm so happy that you did this. End the year with a bang! I'm thankful that you aren't driven by sponsorship/pr by the hi-end brands and always give your honest opinion. Happy new year to you & your family! I'm so very thankful for you !
The Queen of Dupes 👑👸 Jen, you always come with fresh content and the dupes are insane recommendations!!! Thank you for saving us ladies some cash! Happy New Year🎉
Omg I love you for the clarification of yucca. I grew up with my Colombian mother pronouncing it yoo- (or joo) ca and thought everyone was butchering this palette name! I didn’t know the root vegetable was different from the plant! 🌱 😂
I just love how you do comparison swatches! I know that takes work but it is appreciated... It really shows the similarities... Even when each color doesn't match, to my eye it looks so similar there's no difference. Thank you Jen, Happy New Year!
5 years?! Feels like I've been watching you even longer, probably because your dedication makes it seem that way. Excited for more! Happy New Year in advance!
Alter Ego has some amazing palettes. My husband got me the Rose Quartz palette for Mother's day. Fairly quickly I had hit pan in several shades. I saw the positive reviews on Coastal so I ordered that along with Midsummer because I was afraid I'd pan Rose Quartz the way I was going through it lol. I swatched some of the special texture shades from Rose Quartz (like Moon Magic) next to the Alter Ego version and asked my husband which one he thought was Huda's. He picked the Alter Ego one. (Used your code too, Jen). I need more Alter Ego palettes lol. Waiting on Pretty Grunge to arrive (Christmas present from my husband). Thoroughly love your channel, Jen. Love that you put awatches in your b roll. Really, really appreciate it. Happy new year! -Klarissa
Jenn thanks for a great year. Watching you has been so therapeutic for me to just escape from the stress of being a caregiver to my mom who has Alzheimer’s. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
random, but i love how you often match your eye look to your outfit. your makeup is always super cohesive. i don’t have the motivation to match things like you do 😂❤
You are so articulate and real Jen. Could listen to you talk for hours. Thanks for saving us all money. Because God knows, we all have entirely way too much makeup as it is, lol.
I absolutely love the Moira powder, it sits on my under eyes just like urban decays soft loose setting powder does which was my holy grail until they discontinued it
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been five years!! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years! I can count on honest reviews, and have found some holy grails thanks to you 💜💜 congrats on five years 🎉
Glad to have discovered this channel and subbed. Thank you for the content and all the effort it takes to get it out to us. Happy New Year to you and your family, and to your audience at large.
I love the green eye shadow💚 Wow! The Revlon Apricute is identical to the NARS! I can’t believe that Flower Beauty still hasn’t reopened their website! I hope they do next year The Yucca and Oden’s Eye Stone palette are a great dupe! I got the Moira powder because of you! I didn’t get the loose one but the finishing powder one (it’s the same tri color). This was a fantastic video! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do on your videos. You are a gem❤❤Happy New Year🎆
Jen, I've watched your videos as well as some other beauty You-Tubers, and I have to say, in absolute honesty, this video is the very best of 2023. Your videos are always outstanding. Happy New Year, friend!
Thank you for always bringing us more affordable options to the higher end brands 😊I’m so very glad I found your channel this year! I have taken a lot of your recommendations and have been very happy with the drugstore products. They’re really stepping up their game 🎉 this was a great video! I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait to see what 2024 has in store 🎊 I hope you have a very Happy New Year!🎈🎊🎆 sending much love hugs and prayers your way ❤️🙏 thank you for all you do!
This is the video I really needed. I'm looking to add to my makeup collection as I haven't worn makeup regularly in years. So many of the influencers on You Tube talk about the high end brands, which I'll never buy, just too expensive for me. The dupe for Givency is the most exciting one.
What an excellent video. I love having all these dupe/similar products in one place. Thanks for all of your hard work this year! I really enjoy your videos and your swatches have always been the best, hands down. I can't imagine how much effort it takes to put your videos together. Your content always feels more professional/evolved than many others that do the same. Happy New Year! Best wishes for an amazing 2024!
The Alter Ego Coastal Palette has been out of stock for months, are they bringing it back? I had no idea about the Yuca plant! lol Thanks for bringing us all the dupes!
Happy New Year Jen! Videos like this are what drew me to your channel and you never ever disappoint! I love how you distinguish between dupes and alternatives, how you compare color, texture, formula and application, and how you always give credit to others if you learn about something from a different creator. Not only are you thorough beyond belief and so much fun to watch, you are a total class act. You are just the best of the best on UA-cam, truly! Wishing you a joyful and blessed 2024!
WOAH i skipped on Yuca b/c i was thinking it would probably not be the best investment. But i did get the Odin’s Eye and you’re the first person to do that comparison. That was invaluable - thank you!!
For real, I had no idea that was a Yucca dupe! I’ve been eyeing Odens Eye for months, and really want to try them. I may have to buy that dupe palette now 😊
I LOVE this video concept! and I really like that you highlight 'not a dupe but same effect' products - I feel like there are so many products that people say are un-dupeable, which is maybe true sometimes - but only before application and wear!
Love your alternatives, Jen. There are some brands I just don't buy from for overhype reasons and I can't get behind the price, so it's always great to see shades and formulas that fit the bill if I like the look. 🎉
Thanks for always saving us $$! I honestly don’t see the hype with Natasha formula. I picked up my first pallete which was the I need a nude. I thought the shimmers were super hard panned. Could just be me. But I did pickup the color pop 11:11 & I think it’s way better. Plus with the 3.50 off 15 coupon at Ulta you can’t go wrong!
Swatch 👸 👑 queen! No one is better. Love when you do budget friendly dupes or close to high-end products. ❤ this is just at the right time, too. After the holidays. Happy New Year's ❤🎉🎉. Hope 2024 is a great start to all. Thanks for all the hard work this past year. 🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Jen! I think the Alter Ego palettes are good. I love eyeshadow, but I don't use it often enough to buy the more expensive palettes. Thank you for all the info, inspiration, and fun from last year. ❤
Happy New Year! What a fantastic list of dupes. You're amazing Jen! The 10 pan wet n wild lights off palette has a row of black, Grays and Silvers that creates a nice smokey look for $5 if you don't want to buy the xenon palette. I reach for it all the time and it includes a beautiful hunter green.
About the Holiday skin: I bought it because my CT bronze and glow broke. The bronze/contour shade in there leaned very yellow on me. It made me look “bruised”. So I changed my contour to the Physicians Formula Butter contour palette (can’t remember the name right now, but it has 3 powders in the palette) that worked so much better for my skin tone and I still use the catrice highlighter because it is beautiful.
You're always good company while I'm enjoying my tea 🫖 Thanks Jen for sharing this video and the swatches too. So many affordable cosmetics available at the drugstore that keep our wallets happy 😊 Cheers for a Happy New Year with happiness and peace ❤ Take care everyone 🌹
I love your channel! One of my favorite beauty youtubers...I go to your page first before purchasing anything because I trust your honest reviews. Happy New Year Jen! 🎉
The elf eyeshadow sticks are amazing. Feel asleep with my makeup on and woke up with my eyelids looking great still lol. 😂 the first few times I used them I didn't think they were that good but they are better when you use them more they get creamier and more pigmented imo. Milani lip oil is an amazing dupe for dior! I love catrice too they do everything well I've tried from them 😊
The perfect video to end this year. Thanks Jen, these are my favorite videos you put out. Thank you for all you do🙏🏼 I wish you and your lovely family very happy and healthy New Year 🎊🥂🥰
Happy New Year’s to you and your family. Thank you for your amazing 2023 reviews. Can’t wait to see you in 2024.❤ I did try a few Alter Ego pallets and had to pass them on, on me the shimmers had too much glitter fallout even with the glitter glue the mattes were good. I think that Physicians contour wand was way prettier on you than the CT.🥰
So thrilled I discovered your channel in 2023. U r now the #1 You-Tube Influencer I trust for recs/feedback on MUP and Skincare, esp for the dupes and drugstore alternatives.
Happy New Year Jen ❤ Wishing you and your family a safe, healthy, and prosperous new year🎆🥂 The 11:11 palette was by far my favourite dupe for 2023!!! Can't wait to show us even more incredible dupes on 2024 😘
Thank you, Jen. You are my go-to makeup advisor, even though I am older than you are. I appreciate how honest and candid you are, and how well-executed your videos are-so direct and informational, with no egotistical blither. So professional.
I don't know how I feel about purposeful dupes. I use them, don't get me wrong. I'm not above it. I'm glad someone mentioned the Nouveau palette. One of my favorites this past year.
Your dupes are always THE BEST!!! Thank you for all the work you put into your videos! Money's been tight recently so these types of videos saves me so much money AND time❤
I truly love watching Dupe videos whether its from you or other YT influencers. I cannot stress this enough, but there are people who live on short budgets and simply cannot afford to spend alot of money on things like makeup. There is nothing wrong with drugstore makeup or dupes. Personally, I don't think there is a good enough reason for anyone to spend tons of money on any makeup product. If I walk up to someone in a store or someplace else, I'm not gonna know what they're wearing unless they tell me. Without drugstore makeup existing, high end brands wouldn't even have a seat to sit in. We all start out with drugstore makeup as beginners. Brands like Alter Ego prove you can get great products without breaking the bank and if you like it and prefer it, its worth every cent you pay. I'm looking forward to their version of the HB grunge palette. I know its brewing like fresh coffee somewhere. I smell it. I bet they'll do the ND pretty nude palette too.
🌸🌸🌸Jen, I’m sooo glad you explained to everyone about Yucca! We had a back yard full of yuccas growing up , they are always around here in So Cal. Great video especially now when we are all trying to save our $$$! Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy and happy new year 🌸🌸🌸
I know this is really petty, but I’m so glad that you pronounced the Natasha Donna yucca palette correctly. i’m from Southern California and I used to live very close to Yucca Valley and it would drive me crazy when the influencers would pronounce it incorrectly I know that’s really silly lol
Happy New Year, Jen! Thank you for the many, many hours of comparisons, dupes, testing, and opinions you have shared! Here’s hoping 2024 brings you nothing but happiness!
Well, well! I have been nursing an Oden's Eye order for a few weeks. In my cart is the Stone palette. Now I know why! I have Yucca and I adore it. No need for it now.
I love the Colourpop 11:11 palette. I started using Alter Ego when I saw them on your channel and the Coastal is beautiful and useful. You are surely the Queen of Dupes Jen. I enjoyed this video and all of the good dupes. I have had a wonderful 2023 with you and you have saved me so much money and I am so thankful for that. I pray that you and your family have a very Happy New Year full of Love, Peace and Happiness and Joy of the Lord.
JEN, I hope you see this! I have a fantastic dupe for you, share it with your tribe! First and foremost I'm a huge Chantecaille fan and especially their lippies. Meanwhile, YOU got me to try a bunch of Moira Signature Lipsticks and I love them btw, but when I put on the color Burgundy Noir I stopped dead in my tracks because I knew it looked very close to Chantecaille's Lip Veil in the color Iris. I pulled it out and swiped it on and I could not believe it because it's a 99% spot on dupe, even the formula! When swatched side by side the Chantecaille looks a wee bit pink-ier but on the lips and when you put one on each side and mush your lips together you can't tell the difference. I don't need to purchase Iris from Chantecaille anymore, and I'm going to check the other Moira lippies as I got seven of them. So we'll see if any of them are close to any of the other Chantecaille's I have. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you, and as always I love your channel, it's in my top 3! Rock on chica! ❤❤❤
Love ur dupe videos! So excited to try the ND concealer alternative cause everyone is obsessed with that concealer. The new Maybelline shadow sticks are awesome 😊❤Ur palette comparisons are amazing!
17:37 I checked out the Catrice glowy things in person and I wish the pink one was a bit less cool toned - it seems to have a white base. I'm light to medium skintone and only the gold one seems most suitable for me. Which I already have so many times over - bummer!
I will be trying the Milani sticks. I got a Fenty. And while I like it, it’s not living up to the cost. Also. Charlotte T just released a four pan eyeshadow for 75!! FOUR COLORS . Is she ( her company) out of their freaking minds!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! Thank you so much for hanging out with me in 2023...I appreciate each and every one of you. Here's to an amazing 2024! 🥳🥳🥂🥂🍾🍾
I purchased the Meme setting powder and I just love it!
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Happy New Year!
Happy New Year to my favorite content creator. Wishing you and your family a wonderful 2024 💕
Happy new year Jen, may it be the best one yet! 💕🍀
No one does swatch comparisons between palletes better than you!
So true!
Totally agree 👍
True❤
Agreed!
Yes! I agree
I’m unsure why I need to keep repeating this but, nobody can touch Jen when it comes to comparison swatching. It’s so satisfying to see.
So true. She dominates. We ladies are spoiled! She’s saved me so much money!
I honestly cannot think of a single person on UA-cam (or anywhere) that does it better than Jen when it comes to these kinds of videos. So many details and observations with every single example. Even though we are just talking about fun makeup, Jen really shows just how smart she is in general with the way she analyzes and delivers info. Definitely a very bright (and honest) woman. 👍👍 👑
Aw thank you so much!! 🥰🥰 You're so kind!
Thank you for pronouncing yucca correctly!! It's been bugging me that others are not saying it right. The yucca plant grows here abundantly so I've know that plant a while and this palette makes sense in its color story.
You are one of the classiest reviewers out there. Happy new year!🎉
I totally agree
I agree!
I agree 👍
She Is Very classy , and about as sharp as you get ...Oh I love that Dior maximizer ..makes me happy in Rosewood and Mauve
0:13 I have a ton of Revlon lipsticks and I love them. My understanding is they are the number one selling lipstick in the United States. So, whether influencers like them or not, consumers are smart enough to pick a Revlon Lipstick @ 9.99 instead of the average lipstick price point being 39.00. Thank you Jen for the information.
They're my favorite lipstick too!
That basic bullet is just reliably good.
I'm so happy that you did this. End the year with a bang! I'm thankful that you aren't driven by sponsorship/pr by the hi-end brands and always give your honest opinion.
Happy new year to you & your family!
I'm so very thankful for you !
The Queen of Dupes 👑👸 Jen, you always come with fresh content and the dupes are insane recommendations!!! Thank you for saving us ladies some cash! Happy New Year🎉
You're radiating. This green eyeshadow flatters you.
Thank you for your all year work, honesty and kindness.
Omg I love you for the clarification of yucca. I grew up with my Colombian mother pronouncing it yoo- (or joo) ca and thought everyone was butchering this palette name! I didn’t know the root vegetable was different from the plant! 🌱 😂
I just love how you do comparison swatches! I know that takes work but it is appreciated... It really shows the similarities... Even when each color doesn't match, to my eye it looks so similar there's no difference. Thank you Jen, Happy New Year!
A new Revlon blush you might want to check out is: Oh Baby- Very soft - just the slightest soft neutral pink. I got one and a backup 😂
5 years?! Feels like I've been watching you even longer, probably because your dedication makes it seem that way. Excited for more! Happy New Year in advance!
It does seem like longer!
Alter Ego has some amazing palettes. My husband got me the Rose Quartz palette for Mother's day. Fairly quickly I had hit pan in several shades.

Jenn thanks for a great year. Watching you has been so therapeutic for me to just escape from the stress of being a caregiver to my mom who has Alzheimer’s. Thanks for your dedication and hard work!! Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Our queen of dupes and amazing content 👸👑 ❤ I appreciate your dedication to your channel and to your subscribers 😊 Happy New Year 2024🎉🎉
Hi Jen, thank you for doing this video, I very much appreciate all your work you put into this video. Love Katherine xoxo
random, but i love how you often match your eye look to your outfit. your makeup is always super cohesive. i don’t have the motivation to match things like you do 😂❤
You are so articulate and real Jen. Could listen to you talk for hours. Thanks for saving us all money. Because God knows, we all have entirely way too much makeup as it is, lol.
I've always loved that Revlon bronzer. I truly hope they don't go bankrupt 😢
Which Revlon bronzer? You mean the Skinlights highlighter? I just want to make sure I didn’t miss something lol.
I absolutely love the Moira powder, it sits on my under eyes just like urban decays soft loose setting powder does which was my holy grail until they discontinued it
Gosh, I can’t believe it’s been five years!! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed your videos over the years! I can count on honest reviews, and have found some holy grails thanks to you 💜💜 congrats on five years 🎉
You schooled us on the word Yucca! I love it !
Glad to have discovered this channel and subbed. Thank you for the content and all the effort it takes to get it out to us. Happy New Year to you and your family, and to your audience at large.
I love the green eye shadow💚
Wow! The Revlon Apricute is identical to the NARS!
I can’t believe that Flower Beauty still hasn’t reopened their website! I hope they do next year
The Yucca and Oden’s Eye Stone palette are a great dupe!
I got the Moira powder because of you! I didn’t get the loose one but the finishing powder one (it’s the same tri color).
This was a fantastic video! Thank you so much for all the hard work you do on your videos. You are a gem❤❤Happy New Year🎆

Oh my gosh!!! The heart lipstick gloss really reminds me of my old 1980's kissing barbie with the heart lipstick!!! Great video, Jen!
Jen! Your look is stunning! You are beautiful on every video but love the shadow look and lip color. Gorgeous!
This is the video I really needed. I'm looking to add to my makeup collection as I haven't worn makeup regularly in years. So many of the influencers on You Tube talk about the high end brands, which I'll never buy, just too expensive for me. The dupe for Givency is the most exciting one.
That Moira tri-color powder also comes in a pressed version if you’d rather have it. I just ordered it last week ♥️
The pressed one is awesome too! That's the one I use the most.
@@JenPhelps YAY !! I can’t wait to try it ♥️♥️♥️
What an excellent video. I love having all these dupe/similar products in one place. Thanks for all of your hard work this year!

Between her and Tati I’ll be saving tons of money.
The Alter Ego Coastal Palette has been out of stock for months, are they bringing it back? I had no idea about the Yuca plant! lol Thanks for bringing us all the dupes!
I'm guessing they are but I haven't heard anything. 🤔

Jen i have decided you are my top favorite youtuber. I appreciate your honesty and personality ❤
🥰🥰🥰
I bought the CP Blow N Smoke palette for my friend who is a goth this year and she likes it a lot.
WOAH i skipped on Yuca b/c i was thinking it would probably not be the best investment. But i did get the Odin’s Eye and you’re the first person to do that comparison. That was invaluable - thank you!!
My FAVORITE beauty UA-camr thank you for all you do Jen! Happy New Year to you and your family!
That green eyeshadow is gorgeous!
The Odin's Eye palette is cheaper and MUCH prettier. Thank you for letting us know.
For real, I had no idea that was a Yucca dupe! I’ve been eyeing Odens Eye for months, and really want to try them. I may have to buy that dupe palette now 😊
I love your channel and your dupes 😊
Happy New Year everyone!
No one does better dupes than Jen❤❤❤❤ such a fantastic video
I LOVE this video concept! and I really like that you highlight 'not a dupe but same effect' products - I feel like there are so many products that people say are un-dupeable, which is maybe true sometimes - but only before application and wear!
I use the shade naughty nude in Revlon blush all the time!! And the highlighter daybreak glimmer is my go too!! ❤❤Revlon makeup..
Those revlon powder blushes have been a top drawer fave of mine for a couple years now!
Love your alternatives, Jen. There are some brands I just don't buy from for overhype reasons and I can't get behind the price, so it's always great to see shades and formulas that fit the bill if I like the look. 🎉
Thanks for always saving us $$! I honestly don’t see the hype with Natasha formula. I picked up my first pallete which was the I need a nude. I thought the shimmers were super hard panned.

Bright Blessings to you & your family in the New Year Jen. Thanks for all your hard work & helping us all to save $$$$
Also, Jen I love the colors you are wearing! Really make your eyes and lips pop! So very pretty!😍🥰
Another well thought out video with carefully tested and compared makeup items. Happy New Year!
Hope your family is all healed up and ready for the new year!
Thanks, Jen!! Perfect way to round out the year! You look especially beautiful in that green! Warm wishes for a Happy New Year!!
Hope you have a fantastic NewYear Jen! Thanks for all the work you put into these comparison videos. You do an excellent job and I really enjoy them.
Swatch 👸 👑 queen! No one is better. Love when you do budget friendly dupes or close to high-end products. ❤ this is just at the right time, too. After the holidays.
Happy New Year's ❤🎉🎉. Hope 2024 is a great start to all. Thanks for all the hard work this past year. 🎉🎉
Happy New Year, Jen! I think the Alter Ego palettes are good. I love eyeshadow, but I don't use it often enough to buy the more expensive palettes. Thank you for all the info, inspiration, and fun from last year. ❤
Happy New Year! What a fantastic list of dupes. You're amazing Jen! The 10 pan wet n wild lights off palette
has a row of black, Grays and Silvers that creates a nice smokey look for $5 if you don't want to buy the xenon palette. I reach for it all the time and it includes a beautiful hunter green.
IMO, you are the gold standard for finding formula dupes or color dupes and / or both.
About the Holiday skin: I bought it because my CT bronze and glow broke. The bronze/contour shade in there leaned very yellow on me. It made me look “bruised”. So I changed my contour to the Physicians Formula Butter contour palette (can’t remember the name right now, but it has 3 powders in the palette) that worked so much better for my skin tone and I still use the catrice highlighter because it is beautiful.
I love that Physicians Formula trio...it's awesome!
You look so pretty in green ❤ Thank you so much for all this information. It's nice for those of us on a budget
There is simply no one doing it like Jen when it comes to dupes. Thanks for all of your effort! Have a wonderful 2024! ❤❤
Love your dupe comparisons. Wish I knew about alter ego before I purchased the high end. Thanks for sharing and Happy New Year! 🎆
Happy new year, Jen! I’m so glad to have someone to watch who’s close to my age (turned 45 in December) and also in the fair-cool range for coloring.
Same, Im here with u too! 😍
You're always good company while I'm enjoying my tea 🫖 Thanks Jen for sharing this video and the swatches too. So many affordable cosmetics available at the drugstore that keep our wallets happy 😊 Cheers for a Happy New Year with happiness and peace ❤ Take care everyone 🌹

The 11:11 palette was by far my favourite dupe for 2023!!! Can't wait to show us even more incredible dupes on 2024 😘
Hourglass has a similar gloss as the flower. It’s my favorite! Slightly plumping, thin and melty.
Thank you, Jen. You are my go-to makeup advisor, even though I am older than you are. I appreciate how honest and candid you are, and how well-executed your videos are-so direct and informational, with no egotistical blither. So professional.

Brands like Alter Ego prove you can get great products without breaking the bank and if you like it and prefer it, its worth every cent you pay. I'm looking forward to their version of the HB grunge palette. I know its brewing like fresh coffee somewhere. I smell it. I bet they'll do the ND pretty nude palette too.
Very well said!! 🥰
Wow. I agree. So good.
🌸🌸🌸Jen, I’m sooo glad you explained to everyone about Yucca! We had a back yard full of yuccas growing up , they are always around here in So Cal. Great video especially now when we are all trying to save our $$$! Wishing you and your loved ones a healthy and happy new year 🌸🌸🌸
I have relatives in Phoenix and they have them too!
These are the best videos! Well done, Jen. Happy New Year!
Thank you Jen for all your comparisons with all the makeup we are appreciate all you do and Happy New year ❤🙏👍
I was completely mesmerized by your eyeshadow today, it's sooo beautiful & Thank you for your hard work finding dupes!!
I know this is really petty, but I’m so glad that you pronounced the Natasha Donna yucca palette correctly. i’m from Southern California and I used to live very close to Yucca Valley and it would drive me crazy when the influencers would pronounce it incorrectly I know that’s really silly lol
I have relatives in Phoenix and they have them too! :)
Happy New Year, Jen! Thank you for the many, many hours of comparisons, dupes, testing, and opinions you have shared! Here’s hoping 2024 brings you nothing but happiness!
Well, well! I have been nursing an Oden's Eye order for a few weeks. In my cart is the Stone palette. Now I know why! I have Yucca and I adore it. No need for it now.
People should try the Profusion Desert Sage palette instead of the yucca palette, I LOOOOVE it
Products made in Italy are the best!!
I love the Colourpop 11:11 palette. I started using Alter Ego when I saw them on your channel and the Coastal is beautiful and useful. You are surely the Queen of Dupes Jen. I enjoyed this video and all of the good dupes. I have had a wonderful 2023 with you and you have saved me so much money and I am so thankful for that. I pray that you and your family have a very Happy New Year full of Love, Peace and Happiness and Joy of the Lord.
JEN, I hope you see this! I have a fantastic dupe for you, share it with your tribe! First and foremost I'm a huge Chantecaille fan and especially their lippies. Meanwhile, YOU got me to try a bunch of Moira Signature Lipsticks and I love them btw, but when I put on the color Burgundy Noir I stopped dead in my tracks because I knew it looked very close to Chantecaille's Lip Veil in the color Iris. I pulled it out and swiped it on and I could not believe it because it's a 99% spot on dupe, even the formula! When swatched side by side the Chantecaille looks a wee bit pink-ier but on the lips and when you put one on each side and mush your lips together you can't tell the difference. I don't need to purchase Iris from Chantecaille anymore, and I'm going to check the other Moira lippies as I got seven of them. So we'll see if any of them are close to any of the other Chantecaille's I have. Anyway, I just wanted to share that with you, and as always I love your channel, it's in my top 3! Rock on chica! ❤❤❤
Love ur dupe videos! So excited to try the ND concealer alternative cause everyone is obsessed with that concealer. The new Maybelline shadow sticks are awesome 😊❤Ur palette comparisons are amazing!
Fantastic! I love how you make clear the pronunciation of the word Yucca ❤.
Thank you for all of the great content in 2023, Jen. Happy New Year.🍾 Blessings!
17:37 I checked out the Catrice glowy things in person and I wish the pink one was a bit less cool toned - it seems to have a white base. I'm light to medium skintone and only the gold one seems most suitable for me. Which I already have so many times over - bummer!
I will be trying the Milani sticks. I got a Fenty. And while I like it, it’s not living up to the cost. Also. Charlotte T just released a four pan eyeshadow for 75!! FOUR COLORS . Is she ( her company) out of their freaking minds!!!
Ugh I saw that!!
The best to find dupes or alternatives ❤❤ we can’t appreciate you enough 😊Happy new year to all🤩
