And thanks for mentioning lasting power! No one else ever mentions it. I think they just hurry and slap it in and then never try it again because they’re in to the next thing. I’ve ran into some palettes recently that everyone loves, but the shades don’t last! It’s pretty odd when you have a dark shade in outer corner and few hours later, that dark shade is completely gone! Lol. I wish people would do little more to their reviews than just a quick first impression of the first 10 minutes of wear. Some do, but not many. Or even a follow up would be good. Anyways, glad to hear you mention that.
Mentioning power is the one of the top things I look for in a product. Oily skin, oily lids, I can’t just use anything. This is also a reason why I love Jen.
I find that I no longer click on "first impressions" videos. One could say that almost every product looks good when first applied, that's not what matters to me. I don't touch up throughout the day, so makeup without staying power is a pass for me. I appreciate creators who go the extra mile and give us a check in for staying power.
When you mentioned Marco Polo my first thought was Kristi's pregnancy video where she tells a lot of her friends she's pregnant over the app. Good to know it's also Jen approved!
Olive oil is one of the most natural, inexpensive products for removing redness from scars, burns, etc. After a motorcycle wreck years ago I had 2nd & 3rd degree burns on my legs. After healing I used EEOO and all the redness vanished. Even my Dr. was impressed!
I use salicylic acid as a spot treatment. I have dry skin and occasionally I get a pimple. I will take some salicylic acid on a qtip and apply it to the spot and I find it heals faster.
Farmacy has their honey halo moisturizer and that is good! U should try that! That should definitely be a buy for everyone to try! Sensitive skin or not, oily or dry or combo or none of those...TRY IT!!!!
I agree! I tried it because TheresaIsDead loves it and she’s dry like me, and it’s perfect- rich but not greasy-feeling. And smells SO good. It’s not cheap but I have it in my favourites on various websites so I see when it comes up on sale
That Night of Creation collection!!!! I want it all sooo bad! Purple is my color anyway but I love it! Packaging and that mesh box included! Loooove it! 💜
Super love the honeymoon glow. I’m in my late 30s and use it once a week. Also I opted to get the sugar drizzle policy multichrome eyeliners over the kaleidos. Those are also really nice and I’m happy using them
Skincare is so fascinating. See, my skin loooooooooooves BHA, but I lean on the oily side. The 2% BHA from Paula's Choice is perfect for me, because the BHA is great and that usually ends up being enough moisturizer for me too, aside from sun screen.
Thanks for all your helpful reviews Jen! My complexion is more fair than yours, so I understand about the bronzer. I can't wait to try the Sigma light bronzer it looks just right. Thanks again!❤😊
If you care about end-to-end encryption, be aware that Marco Polo only encrypts data in transit, not end-to-end. So they have access to your videos indefinitely. For some people this may not be relevant, but I do care.
The way you described the shade Lost, that it’s difficult to pick up on a brush and almost sticky…. I have that issue with some other sigma shades from other palettes. The pretty green shade in the warm neutrals palette, a pink shimmer in Cor de Rosa, and I know there’s more I just can’t think of them off of the top of my head, but every time I try to use that one pretty green shade, I can’t get it on my eyelid! Not with a brush, and not with my fingertip! I was starting to wonder what was wrong with me or what was wrong with my palette, I’ve never heard anyone bring it up before.
Mad love for you Jen I love the Honeymoon Glow. I wish it wasn’t so expensive but I do think it’s worth it. I got it in a BoxyCharm or Ipsy a few years ago and repurchased it once. I can’t afford it anymore.
That Glossier trio so easily could have been a quad. Seems like a bit of a waste of space and packaging. The packaging looks so hardcore. They could consider slimming it down a bit to use less plastic.
Savannah Bee Company lip balms spoiled me to all other lip balms. I love the Peppermint one, but now I'm going to pick up the key lime one next time I visit Savannah.
I love Farmacy skincare! Unfortunately after I had Covid last year I became allergic to the propolis ingredients. They make me itch so bad, and it burns my skin. I had been using these products for about 6 months or so with zero issues. I was using several products with propolis. This year I finally got allergy tested to see what was going on with my skin and this came up. Had to toss about 1/3 - 1/2 of my skincare. Other than that, it was so great for my skin.
Wow! I'm sorry that happened to you. I have a feeling that we will be discovering more long term effects of covid as time goes on. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Is it just me, or does that Sigma bronzer have a touch of grey in it? When built up, it looked grey and brown. Once seen, it can't be unseen. I think Jen was wearing it on her forehead because there's definitely a grey tint to her skin. That sticky black in the Sigma palette looked blue-black in the video and I'm wondering if it is meant to be used as a liner rather than a shadow.
Going to Sephora today to buy a couple new items to try, looking forward to see your favs for Sept! Hope the family, yourself and the business are doing well ❤❤.
@@jenluv Hi Jen! You wore a super cute spa style headband on one of your you tube videos that I recently watched and I am messaging you to ask where you got it? It was brown with darling little ears. Thank you so much!!
I just finished my Honeymoon Glow and will be repurchasing at the next Sephora sale. It’s a beautiful product! Edit: Lovely update. Worth watching right to the end. ❤
Hi Jen! I’m still here! Life is so crazy sometimes I think I want to download Marco Polo now. I’ve always loved this video and look forward to it every month. I want that sigma bronzer. I’m a bronzer fiend and I need a new one.
For me, it's just more organized and functional. And it encourages people to speak face to face or through voice rather than through text, which makes a difference. Yes, regular messenger apps have these features, but I rarely use voice and I've never once used video instead of a text for those. Maybe it's just me. :)
I can't believe that sigma pallette is $59 USD. I don't know about everyone else, but between the pandemic and now Inflation in the US, I am so much more picky about how I spend my money. If I had to pay $59 for a pallette, Id go to MAC.. Sigma reminds me of like a glorified version of morphe or something....... hard pass for me ....
sigma is VERY morphe to me. i love their new mod palette, but that’s the only one i have tried. they’re ridiculously expensive for what you get. seems pretty mass-produced. i know most things are mass-produced, but sigma just has that vibe to me. also, their mobile site is TRASH! i do like a lot of what i’ve tried, just not at the price point. their prices are made for their frequent 30% sales, but i hate that marketing tactic.
@@mus1quenonst0p yes!!! Those "sale" tactics where they give you X amount off the already super inflated prices? It's like JCpenney and Kohls..... yep, sigma is like the makeup version of JCP and Kohl's.... I hate to be mean but sigma is just a weird brand that I'm not into...... 🙃
I have an issue that sounds like what you described with the stickiness in my Lorac Fairytale Forest. The glitter shades are so sticky and almost scratchy feeling to apply. I get a ton of glitter fallout from them too. If anyone has tips for using that palette I'd love to hear them :)
This Marco Polo app 😂 WhatsApp covers that (voice messages) and much more. It’s weird to me why WhatsApp never caught up in the US. Meta aside, it is so convenient.

If you don’t mind mentioning what recent popular palette have you noticed that the lasting power is no good?
I don't know English but I enjoy your facial expressions and your sweet way of speaking... 🦋
Well, you certainly expressed yourself very well and spelling and grammar are perfect.
@@leslieryalls566 Thank.... 🌼🍁🦋
Ooo gotta get those ciate blushes!
same! just saw lauren mae use them, and now jen have a glowing review (heh). i’m sooo tempted. i just have so many glowy blushes…!

The famous lip balm video! That’s how I found you! ❤️
Hi friend! Sick today had to cancel everything, so let’s hang and cheer me up. ❤
I hope you feel better soon, Jennie!
@@jenluv thank you!
That Night of Creation collection!!!! I want it all sooo bad! Purple is my color anyway but I love it! Packaging and that mesh box included! Loooove it! 💜
I love Marco Polo. I have several chats with friends across the country. It makes us so much closer
Super love the honeymoon glow. I’m in my late 30s and use it once a week. Also I opted to get the sugar drizzle policy multichrome eyeliners over the kaleidos. Those are also really nice and I’m happy using them
I love that you talk about non-makeup products/services as well.

Marco Polo sounds great! I don’t have any friends so I can’t use it but it does seem amazing! ❤️
And that is absolutely how you pick a vacation spot - candy stores. Sounds fun to me!
Omg Jen Luv reviews was in Myrtle Beach!?!? That’s where I live!! Love you Jen! 🥰✨💜
I love the whole farmacy honey line

I do wanna try those sigma bronzers and their highlighters as well!
Willow bark extract is a gentler form of salicylic acid. Does pretty much the same thing.
Jen! We have a Savannah Bee Company in North Myrtle Beach! Guess you have to come on back😉😘
Is it just me, or does that Sigma bronzer have a touch of grey in it? When built up, it looked grey and brown. Once seen, it can't be unseen. I think Jen was wearing it on her forehead because there's definitely a grey tint to her skin.

I am awaiting my Kaleidos order. First time purchasing from them and they warned that shipping delays exist.

Have fun at Sephora, Melli! We are doing well! Enjoying the hoodie weather here in MD!

Thank you Jen! Loved it! So sorry about Alice in Wonderland. Bummer. Have a great weekend!!!
Hi Jen. Would you consider reviewing the Beauty Bakery blush palette? I've heard great things. Thanks for another fun and helpful video!
I’m a bit confused. How is Marco Polo different than texting or any messenger app, since they all include videos and voice messages?
For me, it's just more organized and functional. And it encourages people to speak face to face or through voice rather than through text, which makes a difference. Yes, regular messenger apps have these features, but I rarely use voice and I've never once used video instead of a text for those. Maybe it's just me. :)

I’ve never held or tried a Ciate makeup product that didn’t look and feel like kids play makeup.
I have an issue that sounds like what you described with the stickiness in my Lorac Fairytale Forest. The glitter shades are so sticky and almost scratchy feeling to apply. I get a ton of glitter fallout from them too. If anyone has tips for using that palette I'd love to hear them :)
Maybe a glitter glue or primer?
