The Shop My Stash Advent Calendar is genius, a fun way to use some of your older products in your collection. Your opening intro with your tree always makes my mood happier, love the way it's decorated.
I so look forward to Jen’s xmas vlogs, she’s the best and watching her son each year growing up for his yearly tradition is so special, she will have those videos to always go back and watch when he’s all grown up.
Hey Jen, I love how you begin your video during the holidays. The music makes me feel so good and makes me happy inside. You do such a great job and your videos are always so good and informative and I really appreciate you.🎄🎄🎄
Talk about lifting my spirit…yesterday I tried the Peter Thomas Roth face tightener and eye tightener. I applied both and then a thin layer of bare minerals concealer and foundation powder all after I first put on Almay brightening primer with SPF 15. Then I lightly applied eyeshadow, blush, and bronzer. Wow. It took off ten years from my face. I was like, holy shit. That doesn’t sound Christmas-y but it so was.
If anyone needs a thinner pink/peach color corrector, I recently got the Revlon Skin Awaken 5-in-1 corrector in 002 and it's FANTASTIC! I also have a cream/gel style one like the Pixi but from Revolution and it is harder to use under concealer. The Revlon is so thin and really sets nicely on its own. I also use the corresponding concealer (and others) over it and so far, so good!
I literally just broke down crying when I heard your theme music. I love when you do vlogmas every year, it makes my heart so happy. Wow, is your son growing fast. 💗
Aside from seeing your son grow up, my other favorite part of your intro is the birds at the feeder. I grew up in the Midwest (transplanted to the W.Coast) and your CT birds have a lot of overlap with the feathered friends I miss. So sweet! My 2024 favorite makeup workhorse is NYX's Pro Fix Stick in pink. I have blue tinted under eye troughs. It doesn't erase them, but it helps far more than any other corrector I've tried. (For ref: I have fair, dry, mature under eye skin) 😊💕
My under eye circles are so blueish-purple that I decided to stop color correcting and just get a peach toned concealer (one layer vs two). It has been amazingly effective! I’m using the Natasha Denona Hy-Glam concealer in Fair Peach 🍑
Jen, I just want to tell you how much I love your little opening during the holidays. It reminds me of all the little sitcoms and TV shows I watched when I was growing up! It’s very comforting, including the music.❤
@mrscrofford I have only finished one full sized, Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria. It was 196 days of use (from 1-4 uses with reapplications). I did not scrape out the tube after I hit the edge because I was so sick of it and have 30 other lipsticks to use 😆 some of those uses were as a cream blush which uses more product too.
The eye shadow looks GREAT on you, but for those of us who don't wear shimmer shades much (oh my crepey eyelids!), I would love to see you do more all-matte eye looks. And yes, I realize this shimmer shadow was in your "Shop My Stash" Advent calendar, which is such a super idea. Love that Viseart palette.
I too use the Mac paint pot as an eye base. Also on the sides of my nose where my glasses sit, works great to not have ‘missing’ patches in base makeup
I tried out tubing mascaras for the first time this year, and it has been game-changing. I love them so much! And I'm wearing the Make Up For Ever wherever walnut pencil right now. It's the perfect color! That one and Colourpop's cool BFF liner are my favs.
My favorites this year include almost all the lip formulas from Rom&nd. The glasting melting balms, blurry fudge tint, glasting water tints have been so much fun to use. I've also fallen in love with the CoverGirl cheekers blushes, so inexpensive but perfect formula and glow for my textured skin.
@@christinecho779I really want to try one of these, but I’m really not sure which shade might work with my skin tone (I have Neutral, extremely fair skin). If you have any suggestions, I’m open, haha!
Colorscience Eye Cream and light peach corrector combination. Never cakes. Jane Iredale red lip stain balm. It is a very long lasting coral and not red.
I love the advent calendar idea! What a fun way to rediscover things from your stash. Maybe I'll make my husband do this for me 😂 Also, both your hair and makeup look gorgeous (as always)!
I love the Moira single shadows! They were on sale on Amazon One palette I always get compliments on is the Sigma Cor de Rosa eyeshadow palette, an Oldie but goodie! 😊 I love the intro too❤ Happy Holidays!
I appreciate that you didn't limit this list to what was released this year. My most used makeup this year and in no particular order: Ulta eyeshadow matte primer, it CC Illumination cream, CoverGirl Lash Blast waterproof mascara, CoverGirl Clump Crusher mascara, L'Oréal Telescopic mascara waterproof, Glamlite eyeshadow palettes, Blend Bunny eyeshadow palettes, it Cosmetics Bye Bye Pores Translucent powder, Nyx Thick It. Stick It brow mascara, it Cosmetics Brow Power pencil, Too Faced Cloud Crush blushes, Clinique Cheek Pop blushes, Juvia's Place lipsticks, Too Faced Chocolate bronzers, Ofra highlighters, Nyx Glitter Primer, Lanolips, Colourpop eyeliners, Colourpop lip liners, Nyx lip liners, Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray, It Cosmetics Full Coverage Anti-aging Hydrating Powder Foundation (to set my T-zone), It Cosmetics Airbrush Perfecting powder (to touch up face while on the go), Fenty Pro Filt'r Instant Retouch Concealer (for when my nose or chin needs major retouching, for example, when my dogs messed up my makeup and my husband wants to go out that night. )🦋👩🦰
I couldn't be without the Pixi Corrector! I also love the CoverGirl Micro-Fine and Define eyebrow pencil. The shade "Soft Brown" is a dupe for Anastasia Brow Wiz in Medium Brown. I also love the Lancome Cils Booster lash primer. It makes any mascara better.....and the NARS Light Reflecting Loose Powder for setting concealer. When used sparingly, it doesn't make the under eyes look powdery and dry. It's the best I've found!
I used the Lisa Eldridge foundation, Viseart Neutral Mattes palette, YSL Lash Clash mascara, Revlon Colorstay lip liners, Sydney grace lip cream, Colourpop creme blushes, ELF contour squeeze tube, and Haus Labs concealer the most :) I have sensitive, oily, acne prone skin.
**jen- if you do your transition and crease shade in a neutral mat brown or taupe shade , blue eyeshadow is so brightening and pretty, it is unbelievable- try it sometime!!
So many of these are product staples for me. The MAC paint pot, the MUFE lipliner, the NXY glitter glue are all things I use daily as well! I just ordered the Viseart palette during their BF sale. Can’t wait to try it.
I bought some Korean skincare based on your recommendations as I also have dry skin. I’m converted now. It was always too overwhelming and I didn’t know where to start so thank you for your video. I have a Fwee pudding pot in d-day (weird name). It is bright neon red but looks very natural on my cheeks. I love it and will be getting another one in a different colour.
I’m loving the advent calendar! And having your son pick for you is so cute! Perfect way to get products you wouldn’t normally pick for yourself…like a blue eyeshadow! You always come up with such great video ideas and topics! ❤
My favorite and most used cosmetic product is Grande Lash Serum. Because it helps my lash to grow the past couple of years, it helps my lash to look great no matter what mascara I used.
I got a small tube of Grande Lash Serum recently. I’ve been a bit hesitant to use it because I have chronic dry eye, but I ought to give it a go before it goes bad, haha! How long did it take of consistent use for you to notice a difference in your lashes?
Wow! Your son did a great job selecting the eyeshadow-it's just so pretty. I too use the nyx glitter glue every single time; it's a fantastic product. Thanks for sharing these. I appreciate you immensely !
This was so clever. I am not much on mini makeup. I refuse to spend a couple hundred dollars for samples, but this is a really fun way to do an advent calendar for an adult.
Lovely video, as always! My absolute must have, have a mini panic attack if I can’t find it, product of 2024 is the Eucerin Acute Lip Balm. I actually have about 5 on the go at any given moment; one in my handbag, one in bed with me, one in the car, one at my desk, one on my coffee table! I use it wherever there’s a dry bit. Great on my cuticles, fab on cat scratches (😂) and, my lips are plump and juicy all the time. Happy holidays to you and yours ❤
@ the key ingredient here is Urea. It’s a fabulous humectant meaning that it attracts moisture from the environment and draws it into the skin. It’s very softening and, as if that wasn’t enough, it helps to improve the skin’s barrier function. 😊
Natasha concealer, fit me powder, nyx ambition statement lip liner, urban decay stay naked foundation, Milani lip oils, elf and caliray tubing mascaras, gxve powder blushes, and rare beauty bold liner, still working on Marc Jacob’s tantastic, and Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Kidman’s kiss.
I’ve been using the Pixi peach corrector ever since I heard you talk about it in a video a while back. It’s absolutely the best. Nothing else I’ve tried is as good. I find that your recommendations are always spot on!
I went looking for the neutrogena lip oils and ended up with the sleeping mask instead and I love it so much that I am on my third tube. It hangs on all night 😊
I think I started following you a year ago during vlogmas. You were one of the first beauty UA-camrs I followed. Here we are a year later and I still love watching your videos so much!
It's my favorite Colourpop eyeshadow palette. The metallic shimmer in the middle of the palette is so pretty and one of the best one and done eyeshadows.
Your son is so cute! Also your intro reminds me of a hallmark movie. Thank you for your videos 🎉 I use painterly as well. The only other Mac paint pot I use is Indian wood. I don’t have anything else like it
How fun to do a 'shop my stash' advent calendar & I think it's so sweet that you got your son involved! ELF lash xtender & MAC painterly paint pot are in my top 10 too! I reach for them every single time I do my makeup.
Seeing the other comments about the genius of the advent calendar and I agree! It's also a really special way to have fun with your son by getting him involved. I have a son and would have loved doing this with him. He's 19 now so that isn't possible but we do have a weekly movie night. Anyway I just wanted to say how special that is and how that's a great way to make him feel proud and a part of your life.
That’s my favorite mascara too, and I love the brown shade! I have a ton of different mascaras, but never want to use anything else except the Elf tubing one.
Hi Jen a few of my most used products for my 52 year old extremely dry rosacea and eczema prone skin are: Bobbi brown corrector stick in lightest bisque (used the same way as you use the Pixi). Daniel Sandler green primer - the best colour from these green to beige primers I have tried for me. Revolution face base (the dupe to Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base) - it's great for really dry skin Vichy dermablend green corrector - this is pigmented enough to correct really red areas. UD primer potion - just a classic eye primer. The paint pots are way too dark for my ultra pale skin unfortunately Dior backstage palettes in cool neutral and silver essentials - great smooth formula for my older eyes and really good shades for me Sephora retractable eyeliners - stay on really well Benefit gimme brow in shade one - my perfect shade and just an easy brow Em cosmetics liquid blush - really pretty on my dry skin RMS liquid luminizer - my highlighter I use all the time Best wishes x
Hi Jen, I enjoyed watching this video, the products I used the most in 2024 are, NYX HD setting powder (the white one, it so refined,works brilliantly for my oily ,mature skin ), MILANI setting spray, and NATASHA DENONA eyeshadow palettes,FENTY’s push puddin lip mask( the salted caramel one is sooooo good ). Love Katherine xoxo
My most used products this year would have to be: -Milani eyeshadow primer -Hourglass foundation -Natasha Denona I Need a Nude palette -Huda powder in cupcake -Elf wow brow -Tarte Fake Awake liner -NYX lip liner in Nude Beige Btw, I’m making my husband pick out some products for me so I can recreate your advent calendar idea!
Hi, love your videos! I have been using some of your fav's all year, Nyx eyebrow pen in taupe, violette vespertine (my OG eyeshadows are Viseart) and mac paint pot in painterly. I have found a great concealer/corrector for my DARK circles: caliray in dawn and Natasha Denona concealer RN1.I have tried way too many drugstore and highend combos and my 57 yr old dry wrinkly under eyes only likes these two! LOL. I've also love maybelline superstay ink crayon...easy one and done liner/lipstick with gloss on top. Merry Christmas from Canada !
The scenery there is Beautiful ❤❤ the Pixi color corrector is Amazing!! I use it under my eyes too, but very little, and it does wonders! My favorites: Profusion Feel Good Skin perfector...in the flattened tube. That stuff is Incredible. You don't need that much, and it looks better the longer you wear it, and I've got super oily skin. Also, Maybelline Baby Skin primer...holy MOLY, that's the BEST primer I've ever used. And it's half the price of the other really good one, Milani's new one. If I'm wearing an open chest top, I put it on my chest, and neck, and it smooths out my wrinkles too 😅😅 Also, P.F. Dream Team face palette. I've used that more than anything this year. Especially to set my concealer on my lids before mattes. The translucent setting powder is so smooth, my mattes just glide right on. Also, the one and done eyeshadow I've used more than ANYTHING, Maybelline single in Nude Glow. THAT is a beautiful shade, and goes with everything 🥂💃💖 Lastly, Milani's new Fruit Fetish lip oils are Awesome too. Especially the black cherry vanilla ❤🥂💃🥂
I bought a tubing mascara by Wet & Wild from the Nightmare Before Christmas collection and I really like it! I think it might be W&W's only tubing mascara and it was part of the latest Halloween collection. 🤷♀️
Jen listening to the opening of your Xmas videos makes me dance my head sideways with that song and watching your son walking down the stairs with his toys, brings me so much joy.❤❤❤ watching that Cardinal on your feeder warms my heart, a loved one coming by to check on you. Me too I love that Viseart pallet, I had to get it once you showed it to us, I’m not liking the new covers on their current new pallets, no mirror and the packaging is more bulky, that’s what I loved the slim cases and the biggest, no glitter fallout.
I LOVE VLOGMASS!! I love the cute little opening with your son coming down the stairs and turning on the Christmas tree. Getting his Advent calendar dinosaur. He’s getting to be such a young man now. Time is FLYING! Everyone seems to bash the Hourglass Holiday palettes but I bought one last year in the Sephora fall sale. I thought, I probably won’t use this that often but I like the Hourglass blushes and mascara, so maybe this light face palette will be nice. Jen, I PANNED EVERY ONE of the 6 shades this year. I used every bit of every single powder and emptied the palette entirely. The bronzer went first because I used it for bronzer and eyeshadow. That was followed by the lighter powders that I used to mattefy and brighten my T zone. Then the highlighter that I used for a touch of shimmer on my cheeks, mobile eyelid, and inner eye ran out. Now I’m down to just about 1/3 of a pan each of the two blush shades. I was so impressed with how much I reached for it that I asked my hubby for another one this Christmas. LOL. 1) Hourglass Holiday Face Palette 2) Wherever Walnut is a winner in my lipliner collection too. I like their waterproof eyeliners in shades brown, forest, and black as well. 3) Tarte Fake Awake in peach and in white are amazing in the waterline and are a solid purchase. 4) I am a tubing mascara lady, too. I use the brown and purple mascara in Thrive, the black in Hourglass, and the black in Tarte XL Tubing in a small travel size. I also still have a Milani tubing mascara as a back up. If I’m going to a wedding, a funeral, or a sad movie, I wear a waterproof mascara, but ONLY at events that I know might make me cry. 5) I love the Chanel lip duos. They are long lasting while still being hydrating. Something about the gloss is magic for me. It goes on smooth but, as I wear it for the next few hours, the gloss wears away leaving behind a moist but long wear color that lasts all day! Magic for me as I don’t really have time to reapply my lipstick throughout the day at work. 6) The bronze palette by Natasha Denona. I will never NOT have that palette in my collection. 7) Korean sunscreen. Must have and never run out of this. 8) The Chanel and the Maybelline foundation with the little beads of pigment in the clear solution. Correct and evens out my complexion without drying and caking. LOVE! 9) Sigma cool toned eye primer pencil. I can’t remember what it is called, but it is not Ignite…It is the other one that is pink toned. Excellent foundation primer for eyeshadow. 10) NYX Lift and Snatch for brows. Ash brown as well. I also like the Brow Blade by Urban Decay. Pencil on one end and brush on the other. I get the shade Dark Curtains and just go light handed. Fun way to wrap up a year! Thanks Jen.
I like stacking my tubing mascara. I will put one of the ones you talked about first and let it halfway dry and then put Benefit fan fest on top and it still removes easily but gives me better lashes
That Viseart palette is also my fave and the one I reach for every day! The colors blend so beautifully AND each color is a magnet so you can swap them out. I removed the peach and purple and added a white from another of their palettes and the "Blushing Lizard" from Half Magic!
Such a Joy seeing your Son and the decorations, and ❤ the Elf .. He is a great young man 😊. Fun seeing what is a def couldn't stop ...I like satin mostly .. depends.
Love the advent calendar and the fact that it’s pushing you out of your comfort zone. I hope you’ll wear more color in the future as it gives me ideas!
I love that idea for shop my stash. This works fun to do even in the new year to avoid buying anything new. Or for my birthday month!!! I might have to get my kids to do this. I actually saw one with books where the family picked books from the mom's TBR stack, wrapped them and leavened one for each month
I don’t really comment very often, but I do watch all of your videos. I just have to tell you that I seriously love your Vlogmas videos. I especially love the beginning and watching Henry with all the little traditions that you do for Christmas. It’s so fun to see how much he has grown each year. I’m fast forwarding to when he’s in high school and hopefully still doing these cute things with you!!!!!!!
Love all your videos. You always explain everything so well. I have learned how to use many products this way. Especially the color correcting formulas. I had purchased many under eye correcting products with several being grainy when I was dabbing it on. In addition to your performance in your videos? I like that you immediately jump into showing the products and that you don’t make a long introduction.
Hi Jen, thanks for the video! Let's see, what products do I use regularly? Right now, the Revlon Illuminance foundation, the MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye, and the NARS blush in Orgasm (using up a travel size I bought to try it.) I use different mascaras (one open at a time) because I toss them 4 months after the first use. I also use different eyeshadows and lipsticks depending on mood and what I'm wearing. I bought the NYX Glitter Glue on your recommendation, but I haven't used it yet because I don't wear shimmers much. Also, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy VlogMas!
The makeup looks so pretty on you! And gives me 2000 vibes Agree with viseart formula, i have everything and i do believe they're one of the best. Entendu sirenuse i can see become my fave.
DIY Shop My Stash Advent Calendar. You are brilliant. That is all.
I LOVE that idea too. You “receive” all of your favorite products. 😊
She has so many new and interesting ideas. ☺️
The Shop My Stash Advent Calendar is genius, a fun way to use some of your older products in your collection. Your opening intro with your tree always makes my mood happier, love the way it's decorated.
I 💯 am here for you doing the son-curated advent calendar as a yearly tradition (as long as he’s willing).
I so look forward to Jen’s xmas vlogs, she’s the best and watching her son each year growing up for his yearly tradition is so special, she will have those videos to always go back and watch when he’s all grown up.
That eyeshadow shade is gorgeous on you! 😍
Your son looks so big; time goes so fast! Many blessings to you and your family!
That eyeshadow looks so good on you. You always say you don’t look good in blue but with your complexion and eye color, I think it looks great.
agreed
That bird feeder. What a beautiful cardinal 😍
Oh, yeah, the makeup is great too.
Hey Jen, I love how you begin your video during the holidays. The music makes me feel so good and makes me happy inside. You do such a great job and your videos are always so good and informative and I really appreciate you.🎄🎄🎄
The Nyx eyebrow pen changed my game too. I also cannot live without the (now) smashbox / Becca eye corrector!!!
Your son looks taller going down the stairs. ❤ The beautiful cardinal at the bird feeder was awesome.

I applied both and then a thin layer of bare minerals concealer and foundation powder all after I first put on Almay brightening primer with SPF 15.

I also use the corresponding concealer (and others) over it and so far, so good!
I love the Revlon! I use the concealer and the pink corrector. 😍❤️
I love to hear what people ACTUALLY use, not just what they think about a product for a review. Thank you for sharing❤
I would buy one of your advent calendars over ANY of the junk ones that are usually put out!
I literally just broke down crying when I heard your theme music. I love when you do vlogmas every year, it makes my heart so happy. Wow, is your son growing fast. 💗

Aw thank you! I grew up watching all of those too and get the same cozy feelings. That's my favorite part when I edit these videos. :)
We swear it’s from Elf or Home Alone. I say Elf, husband says Home Alone.
Thank you for vlogmas. I know it's a lot of work, but what a wonderful gift to all us viewers. Love it!
I track all my makeup uses daily in a spreadsheet, and the MAC paintpot was over 600 uses. It is actually crazy value for money in that regard
Wow! I'm impressed!
What about lipstick. Do you know how many uses most of them have?
@mrscrofford I have only finished one full sized, Charlotte Tilbury Very Victoria. It was 196 days of use (from 1-4 uses with reapplications). I did not scrape out the tube after I hit the edge because I was so sick of it and have 30 other lipsticks to use 😆 some of those uses were as a cream blush which uses more product too.
@ thanks for the info. I have never used a full lipstick in my life as I used to hoard them but I’m looking forward to start a project pan.
Wow. Please make a video/reddit post!
The eye shadow looks GREAT on you, but for those of us who don't wear shimmer shades much (oh my crepey eyelids!), I would love to see you do more all-matte eye looks. And yes, I realize this shimmer shadow was in your "Shop My Stash" Advent calendar, which is such a super idea. Love that Viseart palette.

Oooh i need that! I dont find any cosmetic lip product as "healing"
@ the key ingredient here is Urea. It’s a fabulous humectant meaning that it attracts moisture from the environment and draws it into the skin. It’s very softening and, as if that wasn’t enough, it helps to improve the skin’s barrier function. 😊
Thanks for the recommendation! I am desparate, I have tried EVERYTHING and spent hundreds of $s.
I can't find it on Amazon! Where do you buy it, I am disabled and have trouble getting things that I can't order on line! Thanks.
@ I live in the UK so I buy it from Boots. Perhaps you might say where you’re based so I can help you to find it 😊
Natasha concealer, fit me powder, nyx ambition statement lip liner, urban decay stay naked foundation, Milani lip oils, elf and caliray tubing mascaras, gxve powder blushes, and rare beauty bold liner, still working on Marc Jacob’s tantastic, and Charlotte Tilbury lipstick in Kidman’s kiss.
Jen your son is getting so big ! It’s sweet that he is helping for Vlogmas.
As a wedding and special event mua, I’ve used both paint pots and the nyx glitter glue for YEARS and I’ve yet to find better versions!
Love the eye shadow, I love shimmer shadows & at 79 I wear them often!
Your town looks so charming!
I’ve been using the Pixi peach corrector ever since I heard you talk about it in a video a while back. It’s absolutely the best. Nothing else I’ve tried is as good. I find that your recommendations are always spot on!
I went looking for the neutrogena lip oils and ended up with the sleeping mask instead and I love it so much that I am on my third tube. It hangs on all night 😊
Love the Pixi concealer! I will definitely have to try that trick with the eyes.
I think I started following you a year ago during vlogmas. You were one of the first beauty UA-camrs I followed. Here we are a year later and I still love watching your videos so much!
Jen I finally bought the ColourPop Going Coconuts palette after your one and done video and I can’t live without it now. I love it❤
It's my favorite Colourpop eyeshadow palette. The metallic shimmer in the middle of the palette is so pretty and one of the best one and done eyeshadows.
That one is so good. That was a close second to the Viseart for me!
Your son is so cute! Also your intro reminds me of a hallmark movie. Thank you for your videos 🎉
I use painterly as well. The only other Mac paint pot I use is Indian wood. I don’t have anything else like it
where do you buy Indianwood? I could not find it
That Moira shade looks so good on you! What a fun idea to include Henry in tia idea. He picked items based on different ideas than you would:
Your son is so cute ❤ I love the more frequent videos from my favourite youtuber!
How fun to do a 'shop my stash' advent calendar & I think it's so sweet that you got your son involved!
ELF lash xtender & MAC painterly paint pot are in my top 10 too! I reach for them every single time I do my makeup.
Seeing the other comments about the genius of the advent calendar and I agree! It's also a really special way to have fun with your son by getting him involved. I have a son and would have loved doing this with him. He's 19 now so that isn't possible but we do have a weekly movie night. Anyway I just wanted to say how special that is and how that's a great way to make him feel proud and a part of your life.
The elf Lash XTndr is so good, and I love that it's available in brown!
Same! I am blonde and I love everything about this brown mascara! 💕
I’m not sure what I was doing wrong but mine kept flaking. I threw it away after a couple weeks 🙁
@@SJL07Oh dear! Don’t blame yourself, it sounds like a bum tube followed you home. 😢 Too bad it didn’t work out.
That’s my favorite mascara too, and I love the brown shade! I have a ton of different mascaras, but never want to use anything else except the Elf tubing one.
My top 10 are: gliow recipe hue drops, elf halo glow, nyx butter bronzer, haus labs lip oil, MUF artist pencil (wherever walnut), merit flush balm, tower 28 tinted sunscreen, lawless forget the filler, glowish blush, and ySL lip glaze.
woohoo Mac Painterly, we're going back to early 2000s Live Journal make up group days haha
Hi Jen a few of my most used products for my 52 year old extremely dry rosacea and eczema prone skin are:
Bobbi brown corrector stick in lightest bisque (used the same way as you use the Pixi).
Daniel Sandler green primer - the best colour from these green to beige primers I have tried for me.
Revolution face base (the dupe to Bobbi brown vitamin enriched face base) - it's great for really dry skin
Vichy dermablend green corrector - this is pigmented enough to correct really red areas.
UD primer potion - just a classic eye primer. The paint pots are way too dark for my ultra pale skin unfortunately
Dior backstage palettes in cool neutral and silver essentials - great smooth formula for my older eyes and really good shades for me
Sephora retractable eyeliners - stay on really well
Benefit gimme brow in shade one - my perfect shade and just an easy brow
Em cosmetics liquid blush - really pretty on my dry skin
RMS liquid luminizer - my highlighter I use all the time
Best wishes x
Hi Jen, I enjoyed watching this video, the products I used the most in 2024 are, NYX HD setting powder (the white one, it so refined,works brilliantly for my oily ,mature skin ), MILANI setting spray, and NATASHA DENONA eyeshadow palettes,FENTY’s push puddin lip mask( the salted caramel one is sooooo good ). Love Katherine xoxo
I loved oh snap lip liner and blotted lip for 2yrs now. I have repurchased several times.
My most used products this year would have to be:
-Milani eyeshadow primer
-Hourglass foundation
-Natasha Denona I Need a Nude palette
-Huda powder in cupcake
-Elf wow brow
-Tarte Fake Awake liner
-NYX lip liner in Nude Beige
Btw, I’m making my husband pick out some products for me so I can recreate your advent calendar idea!
Aww that's so awesome! Thanks for sharing your faves too! 🥰
I use the pixi color corrector every day! And also, the elf tubing mascara, thanks to your review.
Hi, love your videos! I have been using some of your fav's all year, Nyx eyebrow pen in taupe, violette vespertine (my OG eyeshadows are Viseart) and mac paint pot in painterly. I have found a great concealer/corrector for my DARK circles: caliray in dawn and Natasha Denona concealer RN1.I have tried way too many drugstore and highend combos and my 57 yr old dry wrinkly under eyes only likes these two! LOL. I've also love maybelline superstay ink crayon...easy one and done liner/lipstick with gloss on top. Merry Christmas from Canada !
Shop my stash is such a cute idea
I love that eyeshadow on you! Good job, Henry!
Man those Moira shadows look great. I had to pause it so I could look at all the swatches/names more closely.
I love the Elf tubing mascara. I just ordered it in deep brown.
That’s my favorite mascara, hands down, especially the brown one!
I never thought I would like a tubing mascara but I tried the Elf and it's my current favorite!!
I love your eyeshadow, looks so pretty
The scenery there is Beautiful ❤❤ the Pixi color corrector is Amazing!! I use it under my eyes too, but very little, and it does wonders! My favorites: Profusion Feel Good Skin perfector...in the flattened tube. That stuff is Incredible. You don't need that much, and it looks better the longer you wear it, and I've got super oily skin. Also, Maybelline Baby Skin primer...holy MOLY, that's the BEST primer I've ever used. And it's half the price of the other really good one, Milani's new one. If I'm wearing an open chest top, I put it on my chest, and neck, and it smooths out my wrinkles too 😅😅 Also, P.F. Dream Team face palette. I've used that more than anything this year. Especially to set my concealer on my lids before mattes. The translucent setting powder is so smooth, my mattes just glide right on. Also, the one and done eyeshadow I've used more than ANYTHING, Maybelline single in Nude Glow. THAT is a beautiful shade, and goes with everything 🥂💃💖 Lastly, Milani's new Fruit Fetish lip oils are Awesome too. Especially the black cherry vanilla ❤🥂💃🥂
Vlogmas and your beauty advent calendar. Loving December and all the JP videos! ❤
I bought a tubing mascara by Wet & Wild from the Nightmare Before Christmas collection and I really like it! I think it might be W&W's only tubing mascara and it was part of the latest Halloween collection. 🤷♀️
Jen listening to the opening of your Xmas videos makes me dance my head sideways with that song and watching your son walking down the stairs with his toys, brings me so much joy.❤❤❤ watching that Cardinal on your feeder warms my heart, a loved one coming by to check on you. Me too I love that Viseart pallet, I had to get it once you showed it to us, I’m not liking the new covers on their current new pallets, no mirror and the packaging is more bulky, that’s what I loved the slim cases and the biggest, no glitter fallout.
This hair color makes you look like such an angel and I just love it!
I love the Moira eyeshadows too. Jen! The blue shade looks gorgeous on you! Your son did a great job! Thanks so much for the video!❤❤❤
I have that window bird house my kitty luv ❤ it up where squirrels can’t get to it
You look so pretty! Love your eyeshadow. 🎄⛄️
I LOVE VLOGMASS!! I love the cute little opening with your son coming down the stairs and turning on the Christmas tree. Getting his Advent calendar dinosaur. He’s getting to be such a young man now. Time is FLYING!
Everyone seems to bash the Hourglass Holiday palettes but I bought one last year in the Sephora fall sale. I thought, I probably won’t use this that often but I like the Hourglass blushes and mascara, so maybe this light face palette will be nice. Jen, I PANNED EVERY ONE of the 6 shades this year. I used every bit of every single powder and emptied the palette entirely. The bronzer went first because I used it for bronzer and eyeshadow. That was followed by the lighter powders that I used to mattefy and brighten my T zone. Then the highlighter that I used for a touch of shimmer on my cheeks, mobile eyelid, and inner eye ran out. Now I’m down to just about 1/3 of a pan each of the two blush shades. I was so impressed with how much I reached for it that I asked my hubby for another one this Christmas. LOL.
1) Hourglass Holiday Face Palette
2) Wherever Walnut is a winner in my lipliner collection too. I like their waterproof eyeliners in shades brown, forest, and black as well.
3) Tarte Fake Awake in peach and in white are amazing in the waterline and are a solid purchase.
4) I am a tubing mascara lady, too. I use the brown and purple mascara in Thrive, the black in Hourglass, and the black in Tarte XL Tubing in a small travel size. I also still have a Milani tubing mascara as a back up. If I’m going to a wedding, a funeral, or a sad movie, I wear a waterproof mascara, but ONLY at events that I know might make me cry.
5) I love the Chanel lip duos. They are long lasting while still being hydrating. Something about the gloss is magic for me. It goes on smooth but, as I wear it for the next few hours, the gloss wears away leaving behind a moist but long wear color that lasts all day! Magic for me as I don’t really have time to reapply my lipstick throughout the day at work.
6) The bronze palette by Natasha Denona. I will never NOT have that palette in my collection.
7) Korean sunscreen. Must have and never run out of this.
8) The Chanel and the Maybelline foundation with the little beads of pigment in the clear solution. Correct and evens out my complexion without drying and caking. LOVE!
9) Sigma cool toned eye primer pencil. I can’t remember what it is called, but it is not Ignite…It is the other one that is pink toned. Excellent foundation primer for eyeshadow.
10) NYX Lift and Snatch for brows. Ash brown as well. I also like the Brow Blade by Urban Decay. Pencil on one end and brush on the other. I get the shade Dark Curtains and just go light handed.
Fun way to wrap up a year! Thanks Jen.
I like stacking my tubing mascara. I will put one of the ones you talked about first and let it halfway dry and then put Benefit fan fest on top and it still removes easily but gives me better lashes
That Viseart palette is also my fave and the one I reach for every day! The colors blend so beautifully AND each color is a magnet so you can swap them out. I removed the peach and purple and added a white from another of their palettes and the "Blushing Lizard" from Half Magic!
Such a Joy seeing your Son and the decorations, and ❤ the Elf ..
He is a great young man 😊.
Fun seeing what is a def couldn't stop ...I like satin mostly .. depends.
Your hair looks amazing!
Love the advent calendar and the fact that it’s pushing you out of your comfort zone. I hope you’ll wear more color in the future as it gives me ideas!
I love that idea for shop my stash. This works fun to do even in the new year to avoid buying anything new. Or for my birthday month!!! I might have to get my kids to do this. I actually saw one with books where the family picked books from the mom's TBR stack, wrapped them and leavened one for each month
Jen, have you tried ILIA's Lip Sketch Hydrating Crayon? It can also work as a lip liner or a lipstick. I like it.
I don’t really comment very often, but I do watch all of your videos. I just have to tell you that I seriously love your Vlogmas videos. I especially love the beginning and watching Henry with all the little traditions that you do for Christmas. It’s so fun to see how much he has grown each year. I’m fast forwarding to when he’s in high school and hopefully still doing these cute things with you!!!!!!!
I love your favorites videos!!! ❤
You influenced me to get the Neutrogena lip oil and I love it!
Love all your videos. You always explain everything so well. I have learned how to use many products this way. Especially the color correcting formulas. I had purchased many under eye correcting products with several being grainy when I was dabbing it on. In addition to your performance in your videos? I like that you immediately jump into showing the products and that you don’t make a long introduction.
1) Merit - lip oils in Pink beet & Marrakech (wish they had more colors)
2) Bubble overnight mask as skin prep
3) elf brow gel w a teeny shien brush
4) elf liquid brushes
5) Tarte XL tubing mascara
6) Pacifica aquaglaze waterproof mascara
7) preo prima Shogyo partial lash curler *Thank you, Sam Chapman*
8) Fenty concealer
9) Saltair Recovery & Restore Damage shampoo & Conditioner
10) SAUCE beauty guacamole hair mask
11) NYX Fat OIL Slick click (Tarte maracuja knockoff but better) in Going Viral
12) About Face Cherry pick lip color butter (Tarte maracuja knockoff but way better) in watermelon and pampelmouse
What a great idea. I have loved watching and can't wait to see the rest that your son picked out.
I like the blue in the pan but it looks more lt green on your eyes. Very pretty!
Your eyes are awesome, one thing I recall we both tend to eat blush ..and so enjoy what you say you enjoy ❤️🌹💗🥰
This is such a cute idea. I also love shop my stash and who knows what a young guy will choose?? It will be so fun to see the random products 😂
Haha I asked him to do it because I knew that it would be totally random and he won't pick things I use all the time. 🤣
Hi Jen, thanks for the video! Let's see, what products do I use regularly? Right now, the Revlon Illuminance foundation, the MAC Paint Pot in Painterly, IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye, and the NARS blush in Orgasm (using up a travel size I bought to try it.) I use different mascaras (one open at a time) because I toss them 4 months after the first use. I also use different eyeshadows and lipsticks depending on mood and what I'm wearing. I bought the NYX Glitter Glue on your recommendation, but I haven't used it yet because I don't wear shimmers much.
Also, I just wanted to say how much I enjoy VlogMas!
I like the blue Moira shadow--it's fun and festive. Good for your son!
The makeup looks so pretty on you! And gives me 2000 vibes
Agree with viseart formula, i have everything and i do believe they're one of the best. Entendu sirenuse i can see become my fave.
